Chapter 869: Pill Sect, You've Gone Too Far!

2024-12-23

Phoenix Isle!

A well-known Third Rank Spirit Land in the Windflower Region.

Not large, but exquisitely beautiful.

A Golden Core Sect was established here, also named Phoenix Isle.

However, in the past few decades, this sect was forced to relocate to an ordinary Spirit Land that was incredibly barren.

The reason was simple: Phoenix Isle had once been occupied by the Five Elements Divine Sect.

Only recently, the seven to eight hundred members of Phoenix Isle had just returned.

"Finally, we're back!"

The Phoenix Isle Sect Leader stood atop the Feathered Ascent Mountain, his voice filled with sorrow.

First, their mountain gate was occupied by the Five Elements Divine Sect, and then they endured the beast tide in the Windflower Region. Phoenix Isle, once considered a powerful sect, now struggled to gather even a thousand members.

The only remaining Golden Core Elder beside him consoled, "Sect Leader, do not grieve. As long as we are here and the Spirit Land remains, there will be a time for recovery."

Upon hearing this, the Phoenix Isle Sect Leader nodded heavily, forcing himself to cheer up.

"Yes, we must not let our sect decline. We must restore its former glory."

"I have three strategies to share with you, Elder. Please give me your suggestions."

"First, we should open our mountain gate and recruit a large number of mortals with spiritual roots and honest wandering cultivators to replenish our sect's vitality."

"Second, we should allocate our resources with a certain bias. We can reduce the monthly stipends for Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators and concentrate our cultivation resources on the seven Foundation Establishment Late Stage Disciples, including Xue Xiao, Lu Jun, and Shu Miaomiao. This will help them condense their Golden Cores sooner. By doing so, we can once again have three Golden Core Cultivators, restoring our status as a Great Sect."

"Third, at this time when everything is in ruins and awaiting revival, several Nascent Soul Upper Sects are planning to initiate Expansion Wars. We can also participate and gain some long-term benefits."

Hearing these three strategies, the experienced and prudent Elder couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The Sect Leader's plans were indeed solid.

They neither clung to the past nor ignored the present, even considering the future distribution of benefits after the Expansion Wars.

With such a Sect Leader, how could Phoenix Isle not flourish in the future?

However, there were still some details to be considered.

"Most of the mortals on the front lines have died. If we want to recruit new members, we'll have to go to other Great Regions further back. Crossing regions to recruit mortals can easily offend other sects, so we must proceed with caution."

"When it comes to cultivating Golden Core Cultivators, it's not appropriate to cast a wide net. In my opinion, we should concentrate our efforts on Xue Xiao, Lu Jun, and Shu Miaomiao."

"As for participating in the Expansion Wars..."

The Elder fell into deep thought, expressing his concerns.

Currently, the Five Elements Divine Sect, Skytouch Cliff, Luo Tian Sect, Nine Spirit Sect, and Divine Seal Sect were the five sects openly preparing for the Expansion Wars. Phoenix Isle was too weak to spread their investments; they needed to carefully choose one sect to back.

After the success of the Expansion Wars, even if they couldn't occupy a Spirit Land, obtaining a few shops would still provide a stable source of wealth.

But which sect should they choose? As the two of them hesitated, a sudden cry of surprise came from the distance.

Instinctively, they both looked up.

A massive dark cloud was slowly moving in the sky, heading towards the Heaven Ascending Pass.

It appeared slow, but its speed was incredibly fast!

In the blink of an eye, the dark cloud had already reached the pass.

"Is that a flying ship?" The Phoenix Isle Sect Leader's mouth hung open, his mind captivated.

The Golden Core Elder looked up and saw hundreds of cultivators standing on the ship.

Among them, the men were handsome and valiant, while the women were graceful and beautiful. They possessed neither the arrogance of upper sects nor the timidity of inferiority.

Each of them had a resolute expression and a steady aura, as if they wouldn't flinch even if Mount Tai collapsed before them.

Their demeanor was distinct from that of other large and small sects.

Especially after the century-long war between humans and demons, cultivators often felt anxious and insecure, and few possessed such composure.

"Which sect do these cultivators belong to?"

The Phoenix Isle Sect Leader snapped out of his daze, unconsciously uttering three words.

"Luo Tian Sect!"

The Golden Core Elder suddenly realized that the Luo Tian Sect had a small number of cultivators, but their reputation was excellent. Now, the pieces fit together, and the rumors proved true.

With such a demeanor, even if their cultivation levels weren't high, they were destined for great achievements in the future.

Once the Luo Tian Sect settled down and recuperated, they would surely thrive!

"Have they started the Expansion War?"

"Look at the flags on the ship—the Stone Clan, Heavenly Wolf Guild, and even Fiery Wind Valley are all participating."

"Wasn't Fiery Wind Valley destroyed by the beast tide?"

"If even we in Phoenix Isle managed to preserve our mountain gate, Fiery Wind Valley must have had a place to retreat to."

"With so many Golden Core Sects participating, how can Phoenix Isle lag behind?"

This time, let's bet on the Luo Tian Sect!"

The Golden Core Elder no longer hesitated and, after discussing with the Sect Leader, personally selected elite cultivators to join the journey.

The number of cultivators from Phoenix Isle was not large, only about a hundred, and they followed behind the Heavenly River Floating Ship from a distance.

Their strength was too weak, and the Nascent Soul Upper Sect looked down on them, so it was natural that they couldn't join the meeting.

However, there were some unwritten rules in the Expansion Wars.

As long as they participated and assisted the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, after pacifying a region, they could make some reasonable requests, and the Upper Sect would mostly agree.

So, in an Expansion War, only a few sects formally participated, but the number of cultivators often reached several hundred thousand or even millions!

Among them, only a few sects had the qualifications to feast, while others could still get a taste of the soup to some extent.

The Luo Tian Sect's lineup this time was quite impressive!

It wasn't just the support from the Heavenly Capital Sect and Feng Hua Palace, but also the personal influence of the Pill Sage.

After all, back then, the Medicine Emperor's Medicine King Sect was already extremely prosperous, and now the Pill Sage was even more outstanding than the Medicine Emperor, so his future would only be brighter.

Wherever the Heavenly River Floating Ship passed, large and small forces, and powerful solitary cultivators, would often join in on a whim.

With the various forces organized by the Pill Sage, the number of people kept increasing.

When they reached the Heaven Ascending Pass, the sky-blocking formation was lifted, and the Heavenly River Floating Ship sailed through, attracting exclamations from the city.

The City Lord's Mansion.

The Heaven Ascend Lord strolled to the edge of the roof, gazing at the magnificent treasure ship that blocked out the sky.

In his line of sight, thousands of sword lights soared upwards.

These were the cultivators of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion led by Lin Qingxuan.

Then, a fortress enveloped in yellow light slowly rose, joining the forest of sword lights on both sides of the Heavenly River Floating Ship.

This was probably the Mount Tai Sect's cultivators.

L

The Heaven Ascend Lord silently observed everything.

The Heavenly Capital Sect, Feng Hua Palace, Sword Sect, and Mount Tai Sect, in a short time, Luo Chen was able to gather such a massive force.

This was just a part of it, and there would likely be more major forces joining later.

"He's truly a formidable hero!"

"If he's given enough connections to manage, I'm afraid few in Dong Huang will be able to rival him."

"Fortunately, such a talented person has already joined our Abyss Sect!"

The Heaven Ascend Lord smiled slightly, feeling grateful that the Ancestor had personally invited them and that the Abyss Sect had gained such a great talent.

His Divine Sense stirred, and he sent a sound transmission.

Soon, Ye Hong, a junior, respectfully entered.

"Carry my insignia and inform Lin Zhenren and Gu Zhenren not to conflict with their neighbor, the Luo Tian Sect, and remember to get along amicably."

...

After connecting with the Sword Sect and Mount Tai Sect, the Heavenly River Floating Ship did not stop but slowly sailed away from the Heaven Ascending Pass.

After leaving the city, two more forces joined.

One group had about five or six hundred cultivators, riding various treasure lights, flying swords, and spirit boats, with the main body being a seven-story Seven Treasure Tower, covered in various divine seals.

Although the Seven Treasure Tower might not be as large as the Heavenly River Floating Ship, its luxuriousness surpassed it by threefold.

This was the Divine Seal Sect, and even though they faced the impending lack of successors in the Nascent Soul generation, they remained wealthy and powerful, not falling behind in any way.

The other group had fewer cultivators, but still over ten thousand.

Their main flying treasure was a large boat that seemed to be modified from the remains of some kind of demon beast.

The cultivators standing on it had awe-inspiring auras, sharp and unmatched.

The Nine Spirit Sect had arrived!

Two streaks of flying light merged with the Heavenly River Floating Ship.

N

"Master Fu and the Nine Spirit Lord have arrived!"

The doors opened wide, and two figures walked out.

Read the correct version on 69shu! 6=9+shu_ba first release of this novel.

"Please take a seat, both of you!"

The two did not refuse and each chose a chair to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, the Nine Spirit Lord asked:

"Who else is missing?"

Luo Chen smiled lightly, "Only Idle Crane Immortal is missing, and he should be arriving soon!"

As soon as he mentioned him, Idle Crane Immortal arrived.

The six Nascent Soul True Persons' Divine Sense stirred, and they scanned the surroundings.

In the distance, waves of spirit energy fluctuations could be felt.

Soon, thousands of cultivators riding flying cranes arrived gracefully.

Among them was an old Taoist who instructed his disciples before floating onto the treasure ship.

"Haha, I'm not late, am I?"

"Not at all, you've come at the right time!" Luo Chen smiled, feeling completely at ease.

Seven Nascent Soul True Persons, each representing one of the seven Upper Nascent Soul Sects.

And behind them, the Abyss Sect's righteous support, and the Heavenly Capital Sect's assistance.

Under their command, cultivators gathered in large numbers, a force that continued to grow, already surpassing one hundred thousand.

Compared to the million cultivators of the Luoyun Sect during the Expansion War at the Xiaoyue Mountain Range, this number seemed rather meager.

But in reality, it wasn't that simple.

During the Luoyun Sect's Expansion War, the so-called million cultivators were mostly unaffiliated cultivators, with the majority being Qi Condensation cultivators.

However, the current force of over ten thousand cultivators under the Luo Tian Sect were all seasoned veterans who had survived the Human-Demon Great War, an absolutely elite group! Each of them possessed diverse abilities and was incredibly battle-hardened.

Not to mention fighting against multiple opponents, even when facing a cross-realm suppression, taking on a hundred enemies would not be an exaggeration.

If they were to face demon beasts...

Luo Chen chuckled, but his enemy in this battle wasn't a demon beast!

Just as Idle Crane Immortal arrived, he saw everyone chatting and laughing, and curiously asked, "Everyone seems so confident. How is the situation in the Skyreach Domain?"

Luo Chen replied, "Ling Feng Zi has gone to investigate, and the detailed information is gradually being sent back. There are three sects helping out at Skytouch Cliff: Seven Caves Mountain, White Deer Cave, and the Five Elements Divine Sect."

Idle Crane Immortal raised his eyebrows, "How come I can't see that Skyreach Ghost has such connections?"

Idle Crane Immortal suddenly realized, "So, in this battle, our true opponent is the Five Elements Divine Sect?"

Nine Spirit Lord coldly snorted, "With the seven sects joining forces, and the support of the Abyss Sect behind the Pill Sect, they wouldn't dare to resist."

Feng Hua Fairy shook her head, "It's not that simple. The Skyreach Domain is originally the territory of Skytouch Cliff, and their Supreme Elder is a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator. This trip might not be smooth."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Some people only wanted to show up and make a good impression on Luo Chen without harming their own cultivators.

People like Lin Qingxuan and Feng Hua Fairy, and Idle Crane Immortal.

But some people wanted to fight a great battle, so that Luo Chen would remember their favor.

P

As for the remaining Nine Spirit Lord and Elder Fu, they would also face the pressure of the Expansion War later, so their attitude in this battle was conflicted.

They wanted to fight a battle to deepen the relationship between the Luo Tian Sect and their sects, so that the other party would help more in the Expansion War. But they didn't want the battle to be too fierce, to avoid affecting their own sect's expansion plans.

Luo Chen saw through everyone's thoughts.

He composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, everyone. We won't start a big fight. After all, I have the support of the Abyss Holy Land. They won't dare to offend me."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But Luo Chen's next sentence made their hearts sink again.

"But to make a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator retreat without reason, it won't be an easy task. So..."

Luo Chen's gaze swept across the crowd.

"We won't start a big fight, but we will definitely make a move. The scope will be limited to our True Persons!"

"Our sect already has a plan. Listen to my command when the time comes."

Everyone looked at each other, then nodded in agreement, not wanting to offend Luo Chen.

...

The Luo Tian Sect's army headed east.

Leaving Feng Hua, crossing Heaven Ascending Pass, passing through the lifeless Badao Region, and along the way through Nine Spirit and Taihu, they gradually approached Skytouch Cliff.

Wherever they went, cultivators were shocked by the changes in the natural environment.

Badao Region was devoid of spiritual energy, Fire Ridge was scorching hot, and the golden winds of Bikuang Region swept through, showing signs of expansion.

The former sect's homeland, Nine Spirit Region, was now a vast ocean, and Nine Spirit Lord looked at it with a heavy heart.

Taihu Region was a desolate wasteland, a sight that shocked the heart.

All of this was due to the Incarnation Great War.

A

"I wish I could enter the Incarnation stage!"

As he spoke, his gaze kept falling on Luo Chen.

He placed all his hopes for entering the Incarnation stage on Luo Chen.

He didn't know when the Nectar Pill could be researched.

Luo Chen saw this hint, but he didn't make any promises.

He had allocated that pill formula to one of his soul fragments for constant research, but completing it would not be a quick task.

And at the moment, there were more important matters at hand.

A hundred thousand-strong army arrived at Skyreach!

The Skytouch Cliff, having already received the news, gathered all their cultivators at the boundary between the two regions.

The Skyreach Ghost, looking old beyond recognition, stepped forward.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he channeled his mana and shouted loudly.

"Pill Sect, you've gone too far!"
