With it around, the Moon Holding Sect’s strength will instantly increase!

Even among super premier forces, it will be one of the top ones.

"Even if my plans fail in the future and the sect doesn’t ascend to the higher realms, and even if I and my direct disciples all ascend, as long as Lai Wu is here, the Moon Holding Sect won’t be a soft target for others to bully."

"As long as the younger disciples exert a bit of effort and don’t waste resources, maintaining stability for ten thousand years should be no problem."

"And in ten thousand years, if just one or two Celestial Prodigies grow up, they can bring some more glory to the Moon Holding Sect. Isn’t that wonderful?"

"However, before that, I need to eliminate all of the Moon Holding Sect’s enemies."

"At least..."

"The open enemies must be dealt with!"

"So..."

"Cut off the roots!"

Lu Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly. "You should be able to sense where the Island Lord of Lavur Island is, right?"

"Yes, Master." The reduced Lai Wu, now only about three zhang in size, carried Lu Ming and Wen Ruyan through the sea. Despite the turbulent waves, the turtle shell remained as steady as a mountain, providing no sense of turbulence.

At the same time, the sea breeze gently blew, making it quite comfortable.

In the depths of this sea, there were many beasts!

Most of them only had instincts and no intelligence, usually engaging in frenzied battles, eating meat, and growing. However, within a three-thousand-mile radius around Lai Wu, practically no beasts dared to step in.

Thus, it was particularly calm.

"Back then, that kid cried and begged me to take him as a servant to build an island behind me, so I accepted such a servant, and he promised to offer me some fresh, delicious human flesh every time I woke up."

Lu Ming: "…"

"I don’t want to hear these details."

What the heck, eating human flesh every time he wakes up.

With your size, how much do you need to eat?

If you keep talking, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist carrying out justice and killing you!

"Take me to find him."

"As you command, but Master, even though I was in hibernation, I still knew what they were plotting. Now, they are not on the island, and their plan has likely already begun."

"The place where that kid is now is probably full of experts and extremely dangerous."

"Is it wise to go there like this?"

"I have my own plans."

Lu Ming murmured, "Just get us there."

"..."

"Yes."

Lai Wu said no more.

In reality, it wasn’t that it was worried about Lu Ming. Honestly, with the combat strength Lu Ming had just shown... damn! He was already at the Marquis level! Even if he charged into a battlefield, he could still wreak havoc and leave unscathed, or at least almost no one could stop him.

So...

Why worry about him?

But I can’t do that!

Although in the eyes of human cultivators, I am an ‘Apex’ existence, humans are too crazy! And my whole body is a treasure, so if I get hunted...

No way.

I need to be more low-profile.

I also need to stick close to Master, or I might die without even knowing how!

There’s no choice; the gap is still too big.

At the Marquis level, there are probably only a few in the entire Immortal Martial Continent.

But there are still many Apex beings.

One-on-One, I might not fear, but if I get surrounded, or even targeted by other Marquis-level beings... sigh.

"..."

It fell silent and focused on the journey.

Lu Ming stood on the turtle shell with his hands behind his back, the sea breeze blowing his his his,, him,,,,,. him, him,. of

, level. and. he of some to. pose,

....., and.0 level in,..

.

.0 of of standing there, a Marquis-level Holy Daughter, pour water at all times, ready to serve, was quite a divine posture, Ming’s hands started to get tired and felt a bit silly.

"Cough."

He cleared a dry cough and clasped his hands together.

Just shared the new skill he recently obtained from Wang Teng.

Since there was no one else around, he even shouted in a rather middle-school manner, "Golden Escape·Two Chairs and One Table Technique!"

Wen Ruyan: "(⊙_⊙)??!"

Lai Wu: "… What the heck?"

Both the human and the turtle were confused.

But soon, they were even more confused.

Under their 'gaze,' golden light began to bloom in front of Lu Ming, and a round table and two chairs quickly formed.

The way they formed was quite peculiar.

It was as if countless golden light points gathered from all directions, then spontaneously formed the table and chairs, and finally solidified!

The golden light completely disappeared.

But a set of golden table and chairs appeared before everyone!

"This is...???"

Wen Ruyan was stunned, looking at Lu Ming in disbelief.

"Creating... creating something out of nothing?!" Lai Wu was almost scared out of its wits.

This move was too astonishing!

It almost made it exclaim, “Damn, this guy isn’t just a Marquis-level being; he’s a god!! He’s a god!!”

"Who else can create something out of nothing?!"

"That’s right!"

"Back then, when he beat me, he transformed into that shocking celestial tree, with three thousand roots reaching into three thousand worlds, countless leaves supporting countless divine Kingdoms, as if suppressing the past, present, and future!"

"Such a phenomenon, how can it be just a so-called Marquis-level expert?"

"A Marquis-level being probably isn’t even worthy of tying his shoes!"

"..."

Regardless of how scared and wildly imagining Lai Wu was, creating something out of nothing isn’t the same as conjuring things!

Conjuring things with a wave of the hand is simple, commonly done through storage pouches and other storage artifacts. It looks like a wave of the hand, but in reality,, it’s using divine sense to retrieve items from the storage artifact.

Cultivators with greater prowess could even tear through space, directly extracting objects from other places.

Creating something out of nothing was an entirely different concept!

No materials!

No other messy means!

In a place devoid of anything, creating objects!!!

Such a method was truly astonishing.

If one were to take it a step further, wouldn't they be able to 'pinch people' at will and directly create life?

For this very reason, Lai Wu was truly terrified, almost unable to hold back from banging his head on the ground and bowing to Lu Ming hundreds or thousands of times. It was too damn scary!

"What is this?"

Wen Ruyan's understanding of this aspect was not as deep as Lai Wu's, but she knew that this method was extraordinary and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hey, it's just a little trick."

Lu Ming smiled, "It has no offensive power, don't worry about it."

"Sit, let's brew some tea to moisten our throats."

After saying this, he sat down.

"..."

Wen Ruyan was very obedient, sitting across from Lu Ming, taking out tea sets and starting to brew tea, but she couldn't help but secretly pinch the chair beneath her buttocks.

With this pinch, the soft touch instantly confirmed to her that this thing was indeed gold!

Creating gold out of thin air?!

This, this, this!!!

"Hiss!"

She couldn't help but inhale a breath of cool air.

Although gold was not valuable to cultivators, it was still a rare metal! Moreover, if one could create gold out of thin air, wouldn't they be able to create other things as well?

"This probably... isn't without offensive power, is it?"

"If one could create a sacred artifact out of thin air..."

"You're thinking too much."

Lu Ming shook his head with a smile, "This method is not yet perfect. Creating 'inanimate objects' is still feasible, but to create imperial armaments or even more powerful sacred artifacts? That's just a pipe dream."

"Perhaps after a long period of time, there might be such a possibility, but definitely not now."

Others might not understand, but Lu Ming was very clear about this.

This method was actually Wang Teng's breakthrough on the path of an Elementalist. It seemed complicated, but the principle was simple—manipulating the elements floating in the heavens and earth and combining them to create objects out of thin air.

For example, this golden table and chairs were created by him using his divine sense to forcefully extract the surrounding gold elements and combine them.

Moreover, since Wang Teng now recognized and controlled many elements, creating other 'inanimate objects' was like child's play for Lu Ming.

Regarding 'inanimate objects', Lu Ming could basically clap his hands and summon whatever he wanted.

Creating a four-room, two-hall space was also a piece of cake.

However, magical treasures were a different story.

At first glance, magical treasures might also seem like inanimate objects, but they were far too complex. How many elements could they possibly contain?!

There could be hundreds or even thousands of elements, and more! Moreover, they were mostly relatively rare elements, and whether or not they were present in the vicinity was another matter.

Even if one could gather all the elements, arranging and combining them was another challenge.

A single element was simple, but combining multiple elements and imbuing them with the characteristics of a magical treasure was like climbing a mountain for the current Wang Teng and Lu Ming.

Furthermore, magical treasures above the spiritual artifact level also had various formations and even spirit cores...

It was unlikely that an Elementalist could create a ready-made spirit core out of elements.

What element was 'spiritual intelligence'?

Of course, Lu Ming didn't rule out that after some time, Wang Teng might figure these things out, and then perhaps he could indeed create magical treasures with a wave of his hand.

But...

It was definitely not now!

"I see."

Wen Ruyan listened intently but still had a vague understanding.

However, Lai Wu, who was standing below, didn't believe it at all.

"Nonsense, keep talking nonsense."

"Such an astonishing method, how could there not be a follow-up application? You might have deceived that yellow-haired little girl, but you can't deceive me, right?"

"Hmph, I don't believe it!"

It felt that its own deep calculations were never wrong!

This Lu Ming, what a fraud!

Before it took action, he pretended to be a mid-stage Ninth Stage cultivator, but after it took action... Hmph!

Now he's still pretending.

Whoever believes you is a genius, but I don't.

"Huff, huff."

It dug with its four legs, faster than ever.

The resistance in water was far greater than in the air.

Logically, the speed of flying in the sky should be faster than swimming in water, but... each has its own expertise!

Lai Wu was originally a sea beast, having lived in the sea for countless millennia. Its lifebound divine ability was 'Water Control', and it didn't just control water, but also the water element and the principles of water.

Although it hadn't fully comprehended the principles of water, using it for travel was absolutely no problem.

Resistance? Not only was there no resistance, but there was also continuous assistance!

Its swimming speed was much faster than flying in the sky and could even match short-distance teleportation.

For this reason, Lu Ming chose this method of travel.

Otherwise, why waste time? Of course, this wasn't the fastest way to travel.

The fastest method was still the long-distance teleportation array.

However, Lu Ming had his own considerations.

The teleportation array was indeed fast, but one still had to fight their way through to 'borrow' the path. Having Lai Wu travel, although slower, was a way to buy some time.

The 'Border' was currently in a fierce battle!

Since the overseas immortal island was well-prepared and attacking with all their might, they had gradually advanced along the coastline and were pushing inward.

The great war was like a massive bloody meat grinder, with countless cultivators perishing on both sides.

Now, the battle had reached a critical stage.

If Lu Ming were to charge in now, he would likely face a siege from the Island Lord of Lai Wu Island and his subordinates.

It would be better to wait until they were exhausted and then strike, wouldn't it?

No problem~!

······

"Kill!!!"

"For ourselves!"

"For the future!"

"For our descendants!"

The battle raged on, becoming increasingly fierce and savage.

Countless cultivators from both sides were engaged in the fight.

All sorts of methods were employed!

Spells and treasures filled the sky.

Body cultivators fought with their bare upper bodies, engaging in a pure battle of savagery.

Gu worms and poisonous mists swirled in the air.

Fierce beasts, spiritual beasts, and demonic creatures roared, fighting relentlessly.

Demonic energy permeated the air, and countless vengeful spirits howled, forming a terrifying array.

Soul flags, as one of the most classic treasures for demonic cultivators, were everywhere. Any demonic cultivator with decent cultivation would have one, or they wouldn't dare call themselves pure demonic cultivators, let alone claim to be demon lords!

Whether on the continent or overseas, demonic cultivators were an indispensable part of the cultivator world.

At this moment, demonic cultivators from both sides were directly dueling in the imperial city.

The soul flags fluttered in the sky, and countless vengeful spirits howled, creating a boundless hellish realm. Ordinary cultivators dared not enter, for even a Ninth Stage cultivator would be instantly shredded!

The overseas cultivators had been preparing for this battle for many years, and their preparations were undoubtedly more thorough. Thus, they held the advantage in this war.

Both sides fought fiercely, suffering casualties, but the battle lines continued to advance...

Reinforcements?

The continent had them!

The overseas cultivators also had reinforcements, and their numbers were increasing faster than those of the continent!

The nine great holy lands had already joined the battle, urgently dispatching their forces to where they were most needed.

The saint sons and saint daughters of the nine great holy lands personally led their strongest cultivators to the battlefield.

This battle was dangerous, but it was also an excellent opportunity for them to gain experience. As the future leaders of their holy lands, they needed to undergo more tempering!

However...

The defense line in the Northwest Domain remained precarious.

The overseas cultivators were determined to take the Northwest Domain, even if it meant sacrificing their lives. Even if their casualties exceeded those of the defenders, they showed no signs of retreat and continued to push forward relentlessly!

"..."

News spread quickly!

Almost every incense stick's worth of time, new updates were transmitted across the entire Immortal Martial Continent.

Large and small forces, as well as numerous solitary cultivators, all received the news.

Simultaneously, the nine great holy lands called upon those with aspirations to join the battle, mobilizing various forces to repel the overseas barbarians.

The major forces were not idle either, sending their own cultivators to participate.

Solitary cultivators with confidence in their strength or those seeking a challenge also rushed to join the battle.

Some onlookers remained hesitant, while others, lacking strength or fearing for their lives, stayed away...

The Moon Holding Sect, of course, also received the news.

Moreover, their information was even faster and more timely than that of ordinary forces.

Xiao Ling'er, the various elders, including Chen An and Deng Tai'a, had been in the Moon Holding Palace since the start of the war, never leaving.

When the latest news arrived, and the third defensive line in the Northwest Domain showed signs of collapse, their expressions changed.

"Master?"

Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but ask, "Should our Moon Holding Sect also dispatch cultivators to join the battle?"

"As the saying goes, when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. The overseas cultivators will not be satisfied with just one domain. If they truly take the Northwest Domain and establish a foothold, they will likely continue their attacks..."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Lin Fan asked, raising his hand slightly, but instead of providing an answer, he posed a question to the crowd.

Everyone was taken aback.

"Sigh, you kill me, I kill you, killing back and forth, when will the karmic retribution end?" Li Chun Gang sighed.

Deng Tai'a frowned, remaining silent.

Chen An opened his mouth, saying, "As sword cultivators, we should use our swords to eliminate all injustices in the world."

"Hmph, the holy lands are calling for action, and it concerns our own interests. I say we should join the fight," Ji Haoyue expressed his opinion, sounding like a radical at this moment.

"I think...cough cough."

Fan Jianqiang coughed, "The nine great holy lands haven't even shown their full strength yet, so it's not our turn as a third-rate force to worry, right?"

Shi Hao scratched his head, "I'll follow the instructions of my master. If my master tells me to fight, I'll fight."

"If my master tells me to rest, I'll rest."

Ya Ya smiled, "Junior Brother's words are reasonable, and I think the same."

"It's only right for us to contribute as well."

Lin Fan sighed, "But I'm wondering, will our contribution make a difference?"

"Asking about the master's intentions?" Huo Yun'er was surprised.

Huo Ling'er blinked, remaining silent.

"It's simple. Regardless of whether we join the battle or not, in the end, we should just send the overseas cultivators back where they came from."

"But will the overseas cultivators give up so easily?"

"Or will they hide and bide their time, continuing to gather strength and wait for the next opportunity to counterattack the continent?"

Everyone was taken aback.

But deep down, they already had their answers.

Perhaps they hadn't thought this deeply before.

Or perhaps they were still focused on the gains and losses of the current battle, wanting to drive the overseas barbarians back to their homeland. But Lin Fan had already thought far into the future, even considering directly eliminating the overseas barbarians?

Ah!

Brutal!

And quite fierce!

"There's no way to finish them off in one go, and you want to take action, thinking it through.
