Nascent Soul Attack in the Storm Sea Region
The same scene was unfolding not only in Kongyou City, but on Jade Island as well.
A great number of cultivators had gathered outside Jade Island, far more than in Kongyou City.
There were a full two hundred Golden Core cultivators, more than ten thousand at Foundation Establishment, and countless Qi Refining cultivators.
After learning that a great war was about to break out in the Inner Sea, many cultivators had come to Jade Island independently. Most were Rogue Cultivators, and even some reclusive cultivators had chosen to come out of seclusion.
These recluses were almost all Golden Core cultivators, and a large portion of them were approaching the end of their lifespans.
Normally, such recluses would never leave their cave abodes, because only by cultivating constantly inside them could they slow the passage of their remaining years.
But the war now taking place in the Inner Sea was the only opportunity for these cultivators nearing the end of their lifespans.
As long as they rendered meritorious service in the war, they could obtain spiritual treasures from Moon-Gazing City. Even if they could not break through to the next realm, extending their lives would at least be no problem.
These recluses had all come to Jade Island because of Xiao Ling's influence.
Compared with True Lord Kongyou, Xiao Ling enjoyed far greater support in the Outer Sea. Following him would also ensure they received their share of the benefits.
Xiao Ling looked at the crowd and said:
"This journey to the Inner Sea will be fraught with danger. But since you have all come here, I won't say any more. I hope we can meet again when we return."
The crowd showed little reaction to his words.
The strong survived and the weak were eliminated. It was the same everywhere
