Not long after, Ning Fa withdrew his divine sense, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Venerable Jizhao and the others' plan was actually quite simple.
Since they had already broken the defensive barrier around that cross-realm passage and neutralized its instant-transmission ability, they naturally needed to draw away as many of the enemy's Spirit Transformation cultivators as possible, lure them as far away as they could, and then send people in to destroy it.
To that end, Venerable Jizhao and the others had devised a method: spread false information.
Namely, that the human side intended to set up a ritual to communicate with the upper realm and have the human race in the Spirit Realm send forces to support them.

But the Sea Race could not be certain of that, so once such news spread, they would surely come to sabotage the ritual.
To make the act convincing, the Nine Immortals Association would even produce the World-Crossing Incense they had kept in reserve. This precious spiritual item was precisely a necessary object for communication between the Lower Realm and the upper realm.
That way, the Sea Monster and Beast Races would surely dispatch most of their top-tier forces, while the human side could use that gap in timing to send forces to utterly destroy the defensive barrier and the cross-realm passage along with it.
