The Battle to Defend the Star!
Ge Yunxuan then looked at the others and said, "This journey will be very dangerous. Are you all prepared?"
A Golden Core cultivator laughed heartily:
"Elder, you jest. Now that we're here, we have nothing to fear."
"That's right, I fought tooth and nail to get this mission, so I had to come no matter how dangerous it was."
The cultivators who came with us this time weren't specifically sent by Liu Qian, but rather came on a mission from within the sect.
For the Golden Core cultivators of the Xingfeng Sect, the Xingfeng Sect's contribution points are indispensable if they want to break through to the Nascent Soul.
Golden Core cultivators from other factions who wish to become Nascent Soul Cultivator must find their own fortuitous opportunity.
However, Xingfeng Sect is different. Xingfeng Sect now has abundant resources, and there are Nascent Soul spiritual items in the Xingfeng Sect's treasury.
If you contribute enough points, you can even ask the gatekeeper to personally guide you.
This kind of treatment is unmatched by any other power.
Therefore, when the mission to resist the invasion of the Void Spirit Clan was issued, the cultivators of the Xingfeng Sect rushed to accept it.
Seeing everyone's high spirits, Ge Yunxuan nodded:
"Let's go then."
Cultivation Alliance Headquarters.
At this moment, countless magic ships appeared in the sky above the Cultivation Alliance.
These magic ships all came from various powerful forces on Canglan Star.
Within the Cultivation Alliance, a large number of array masters are reinforcing the protective array.
Inside the main hall, Leng Cangqiong sat in the main seat.
Below them are the cultivators representing various forces, with the lowest cultivation level being half-step Spirit Transformation.
As for cultivators below the half-step Spirit Transformation, they were all waiting outside. They could only follow orders here and were not qualified to participate in this meeting.
The old monsters inside the main hall remained silent, waiting quietly.
Although most people have arrived, one force is still missing: Xingfeng Sect.
In the past, if Xingfeng Sect arrived late, there would definitely be complaints.
But ever since Chen Feng defeated the Demon God, no one has dared to have any objections to the Xingfeng Sect. In addition, Xingfeng Sect recently allowed members of these forces to go to the Northern Territory to cultivate.
They were even less likely to offend Xingfeng Sect at this time.
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Ge Yunxuan led Zhang Jin in.
Ge Yunxuan bowed to Leng Cangqiong:
"Vice Alliance Leader Leng, I apologize for being late."
Leng Cangqiong's expression remained unchanged; he simply nodded.
"Elder Ge, please have a seat. Our meeting hasn't started yet."
Ge Yunxuan glanced around and saw that only the first seat to Leng Cangqiong's left was empty.
This was clearly reserved for him.
Ge Yunxuan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately went to sit down.
At this moment, Ge Yunxuan noticed a woman dressed in a light veil sitting opposite him.
The woman had seven fox tails, and upon seeing Ge Yunxuan, she showed a kind smile.
Although the woman was kind, the men behind her glared at her angrily.
Ge Yunxuan immediately understood the identities of these people: they were from the Western Regions Demon God Palace.
Ge Yunxuan responded with a smile in return.
At this moment, Leng Cangqiong's voice rang out in the arena:
"There are only three days left until the month-long deadline given by the Voidling Clan. The reason we've gathered everyone here is to discuss how to prepare for their first wave of attacks."
No sooner had Ge Yunxuan finished speaking than a leader of one of the factions in the room asked:
"Vice Alliance Leader, is there any news from the Star Palace?"
Everyone turned their gaze to Leng Cangqiong. With the strength of Canglan Star alone, it was impossible to defeat the Void Spirit Clan. They needed the support of the Weiyang Star Region.
Leng Cangqiong replied;
"The Star Palace has already received the news. They are currently organizing manpower, but it will take them at least half a month to arrive. In other words, we, the Azure Star, will have to handle this ourselves for the next half month."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.
Half a month may not seem like a long time, but can Canglan Star deal with the Void Spirit Clan?
Leng Cangqiong seemed to sense everyone's worry and then said:
"Rest assured, everyone. The Void Spirit Clan will definitely not focus their efforts on such a small star as ours. Their primary target is the Weiyang Star Region. Even if they send people here, it will only be a small force. Moreover, I have already gathered all the array masters within the star. With them strengthening the star-protecting array, it will be enough to hold out for half a month."
Hearing Leng Cangqiong say this, everyone was relieved.
At this moment, someone else asked, "Vice Alliance Leader Leng, we are certainly not afraid of battles against low-level cultivators, but are we prepared for battles against Nascent Spirit Transformation?"
There are many low-level cultivators on Canglan Star nowadays, and they have all purchased weapons from the Xingfeng Sect in recent years. If they were to fight against low-level cultivators of the Xuling Clan, they wouldn't be too worried.
The only concern is high-level combat power.
Vice Alliance Leader Leng glanced at everyone. "Don't worry, everyone. Several Nascent Spirit Transformation Spirit Transformation from our Cultivation Alliance who were in seclusion have emerged, and several other Nascent Spirit Transformation from major forces are also preparing to join the battle."
"I wonder if Sect Leader Chen will participate in this battle?" a half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Misty Sect of the Northern Region suddenly asked.
Although he was asking Leng Cangqiong, his gaze was actually directed at Ge Yunxuan, who was sitting to the side.
The others then turned their gazes toward Ge Yunxuan.
If we're talking about who's the most famous on Canglan Star right now, it's Chen Beijing of the Xingfeng Sect. After all, he was able to defeat even a demon god in the late Spirit Transformation.
If Chen Beijing is willing to fight, then the chances of winning this battle will be very high.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ge Yunxuan smiled and replied:
"Our sect leader is currently in seclusion; he will naturally intervene in times of crisis."
No sooner had these words been spoken than a voice suddenly rang out in the arena:
"Isn't this a time of crisis? Your sect leader has been making a name for himself all these years, but now that Canglan Star is in crisis, he's gone into seclusion. Is he perhaps afraid?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was a powerful figure from the Demon God Palace.
This person, standing behind Su Wu, possessed the cultivation level of a half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator.
When everyone saw that it was someone from the Demon God Palace who spoke, they were no longer surprised.
The Demon God of the Demon God Palace was defeated by Chen Beijing ten years ago, and no one knows what's going on with him now.
They would find it strange if the Demon God Temple didn't cause trouble for Chen Beijing.
Upon hearing this, Ge Yunxuan remained expressionless and said:
"You'd better mind your own business first. Our sect leader's affairs are none of your Demon God Palace's concern."
"You!" The half-step Spirit Transformation from the Demon God Palace glared angrily at Ge Yunxuan.
The other party was merely a Golden Core cultivator, yet they dared to speak to him like that.
Su Wu then spoke:
"Protector Yin, watch your words and actions. We're here representing the Demon God Palace."
Upon hearing Su Wu's words, the powerful Demon Race named Protector Yin remained silent.
Su Wu was the demon lord appointed by their deputy hall master, and even he wouldn't dare to offend her.
"Alright, let's begin the personnel arrangements."
Leng Cangqiong smoothed things over, saying he wouldn't pursue the matter since Chen Feng hadn't come; the Xingfeng Sect wasn't what it used to be.
The others remained silent, listening quietly to Leng Cangqiong's arrangements.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Within the protective array of Canglan Star, tens of thousands of magic ships have appeared, all filled with cultivators.
These monks did not gather together, but were scattered in various places.
After all, no one knows from which direction the Voidlings' attack will come.
The cultivators remained silent, waiting quietly, a chilling aura spreading throughout the area.
At the very front of the crowd were three people: Leng Cangqiong, Elder Jin, and Elder Yin.
The three Spirit Transformation cultivators were in charge of leading the team this time.
After all, it was their first time clashing with the Void Spirits, so they naturally couldn't send all their forces.
Just then, Elder Yin suddenly looked into the depths of the starry sky; "They've arrived!"
Everyone immediately looked towards the starry sky outside the protective star formation.
In the starry sky, dozens of enormous magic ships were sailing towards Canglan Star.
Each of these Dharma ships was equivalent to a mountain, incredibly huge, and the entire ship was dark silver in color.
A curtain of light rose around the French ship.
This light barrier completely enveloped the magic ship, and it was precisely because of the existence of this light barrier that the low-level cultivators of the Void Spirit Clan were not affected by the violent spiritual power in the starry sky.
On these magic ships were members of the Void Spirit race, clad in silver armor.
They all wore masks constructed from cloud patterns and star maps.
Each person also held a long spear in their hand.
Besides these people, there were also some cultivators from the Void Spirit Clan riding a strange Demon Beast.
This Demon Beast was enormous, like a warhorse, with a single horn on its head.
These cultivators riding on Demon Beast all reached the Golden Core stage, numbering as many as five thousand. The remaining cultivators, whose cultivation level was at least Foundation Establishment, numbered no less than tens of thousands.
Looking at this orderly and uniform army of cultivators.
The cultivators on Canglan Star all had solemn expressions.
Within their Canglan Star, the only force that could rival the Void Spirit Clan cultivators in terms of imposing presence was probably the Great Zhou's army of cultivators.
However, in terms of strength, the Great Zhou's army of cultivators was clearly no match.
Upon seeing this scene, Elder Yin's expression became extremely solemn.
"The Silver Armor Army and the Void Riders have both been mobilized!"
Leng Cangqiong then shouted:
"Activate the formation!"
As Leng Cangqiong finished speaking, the cultivators remaining within the Cultivation Alliance began to activate the formation with all their might.
Eighty-eight enormous palaces began to shimmer with dazzling light.
At the same time, the Spirit Stone prepared throughout the cultivation alliance were being absorbed by the palace at an alarming rate.
These Spirit Stone add up to several million, and they are all top-grade Spirit Stone.
The protective array of Canglan Star can actively engage enemies; as long as cultivators and Spirit Stone are sufficient, the array's power will be maximized.
The Void Spirit Clan's magic ship stopped in front of the protective array of Canglan Star.
Two people appeared in front of the Void Spirit army.
One of them was tall, with flame totems covering his face and body, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.
The other person was a tall woman, Priestess Jiang of the Void Spirit Clan.
"Hmph, Priest Jiang, it seems that Canglan Star is unwilling to surrender." The man said coldly.
Priest Jiang glanced at the Canglan Star cultivators in the Star-Protecting Array and then said:
"That's normal; we wouldn't have surrendered either, but we must take this star."
Canglan Star is just a small star; normally, the Void Spirit Clan wouldn't even look at it.
However, Hong Lu had already led his men to attack the star field array of the Weiyang Star Field, and Canglan Star was very close to the star protection array of the Weiyang Star Field.
It would be perfect as a base for their Voidling race.
"Then stop talking nonsense, I'll go break this formation!"
After the man finished speaking, the flame totem on his body flickered, as if he was about to make a move.
Priest Jiang shook his head and said:
"No rush. Kong Ling is already inside this star. Breaking this formation won't be difficult. I need to contact her first to ask about the situation. Huo Fan, you go and talk to them to stall for time."
Upon hearing this, the man named Huo Fan smiled helplessly and said, "Alright then."
After saying that, he transformed into a streak of fiery light and approached the protective array of Canglan Star.
The cultivators of Canglan Star had now clearly seen Huo Fan's appearance, and each of them wore a solemn expression.
Huo Fan sneered and shouted loudly;
"Fire Brahma, Spirit Commander of the Void Spirit Clan, is there anyone who dares to challenge me!"
The sound was so loud that it passed directly through the protective array and reached everyone's ears.
The low-level cultivator immediately felt his mind go blank, and his spiritual energy became restless.
Upon seeing this, Elder Yin immediately waved his hand, mobilizing the surrounding spiritual energy, which made everyone feel a little better.
After Huo Fan finished speaking and saw that no one responded, he immediately said sarcastically:
"What? Are all the people of Canglan Star cowards? Not a single one of you dares to come out and fight?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators of Canglan Star all looked extremely grim.
Everyone looked at Leng Cangqiong and the other two.
Old Yin then said, "I'll do it!"
Elder Yin knew very well that if they didn't fight at this time, it would have a huge impact on the morale of Canglan Star.
Moreover, his intention was to stall for time; if the other side wanted a fight, then they would naturally have to accept it.
Old Yin was about to step forward, but was stopped by Old Jin.
"I'll do it! This person should be skilled in fire Divine Ability, which my Cultivation Method can counter."
Hearing what Elder Jin said, Elder Yin nodded in agreement:
"If we are outmatched, retreat immediately. I will use the formation to provide support."
Elder Jin then transformed into a streak of light and left the area of the Star-Protecting Array. Looking at Huo Fan standing in the distance, Elder Jin said loudly:
"Canglan Star, Jin Yi of the Cultivation Alliance, humbly request your guidance, fellow Daoist!"
"Very good, finally someone with guts has arrived!" Huo Fan took a step forward.
In an instant, he mobilized the surrounding energy.
Immediately afterwards, a sea of fire appeared out of nowhere, engulfing everything around it, including Elder Jin.
Terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from within the sea of fire, but no one could see what was happening inside.
The sea of fire blocked their Divine Sense.
Even though they couldn't see it, everyone's eyes remained fixed on the sea of fire.
As for Elder Yin, he closed his eyes. He and Elder Jin were twin brothers, and he could immediately sense if Elder Jin was in mortal danger.
The priestess, Jiang, was completely oblivious to the battle from afar; she was trying to contact Kong Ling, who was located on Canglan Star.
Strange runes flickered within Priest Jiang's azure pupils.
This is a unique telepathic Secret Method by the priests of the Void Spirit Clan.
The North, the Great Forest.
A large number of cultivators have gathered here. These cultivators came to the Northern Territory to cultivate after being granted permission by the Xingfeng Sect.
Almost every force on Canglan Star sent some cultivators over.
Most of them were talented disciples from their respective factions.
After all, Xingfeng Sect only gave out ten spots, and each additional spot would require spending Spirit Stone, so these forces naturally prioritized sending their own talented disciples.
Among the crowd, the people of Wangyue City were also cultivating.
Kongling, like everyone else, closed her eyes and pretended to cultivate. She didn't make any moves after arriving in the Northern Territory.
She always felt like someone was watching her.
This surveillance was strange; even her Divine Sense couldn't detect it, which is why she dared not make any other moves.
Just then, a voice resounded in her heart:
"Kongling, it's me. How are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, Kongling opened her eyes, glanced around, and then answered in her heart:
"The situation isn't good; it seems like I'm being watched."
Priest Jiang's surprised voice came:
"Being targeted... could it be that old monster at the Void Refinement stage?"
