Atop Danxia Peak.
Because of Luo Chen’s return, the previously sowhat restless atmosphere had cald down almost instantly.
The Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, none other than this.
However, today in the Combat Hall, nurous cultivators were bustling in and out.
That sense of urgency and haste made those familiar with the Combat Hall cultivators curious.
"What happened?"
"Rarely do you see so many Luo Tian Intelligence Net cultivators out all at once, huh?"
Facing these curious questions.
The Luo Tian Intelligence Net cultivators tasked with intelligence gathering and processing glared back fiercely, like eagles eyeing their prey.
"Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t ask!"
Having said that, they carried a large stack of scrolls and entered the Combat Hall.
...
"Here is the latest intelligence within a year and a half since you left."
"This pile is the general intelligence collected by the Luo Tian Intelligence Net within five years after its establishnt in Tian Lan Immortal City."
"Finally, this last pile of scrolls, delivered just now, was collected by Su Xiaolin at great effort and cost from various channels after your instructions. They have been urgently sorted, and though they are still sowhat disorganized, anything related to the battles with the Ascendant Sects is basically here."
Inside the Combat Hall, Sima Huiniang arranged the bamboo slips neatly in front of Luo Chen.
Combat Hall Hall Master Sima Xian and the Luo Tian Intelligence Net Elder Su Xiaolin stood on either side, ready to take commands at any mont.
Looking at the dense scrolls, Luo Chen took a deep breath.
Without showing any disdain for the trouble, Luo Chen unfurled a bamboo slip and began reading intently.
"Mountain Sea Calendar year 3408, October, Luo Yun Sect Supre Elder Han Zhan broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, advocating the reclamation of three large and seven small markets within the sect’s territory, remotely controlled by the Yu Ding Sword Sect. His forceful thods provoked a protest from the Sword Sect, leading to Sword Sect cultivators withdrawing from the Luo Yun Sect’s territory as a conclusion to the dispute."
"This incident was established as the fuse for the battles between the Ascendant Sects."
Luo Chen paused a mont, calculating the tiline.
At that ti, he would have been at the Ninth Level Qi Refinent. Pan Renxiong had just died, and The Great River City had beco Ghost City.
"Sa year, November, a Luo Yun Sect Foundation Establishnt True Disciple was suspected to have been killed by a Sword Sect True Disciple. anwhile, the Sword Sect suspected that the mysterious death of a Golden Core Ascendant Master was related to the Luo Yun Sect. The conflict between both sides worsened, and the Sect Leaders’ negotiations ended in vain."
"Luo Yun Sect proposed reclaiming a Third Order vein, which was refused by the Sword Sect. It is unclear which side took the first action, but a small-scale battle within the Foundation Establishnt Realm occurred near that Third Order vein."
"Although this battle ca quickly and ended quickly, it was recorded as the beginning of the internal war within the Yu Ding Ascendant Sect."
"The real outbreak was triggered when Ailao Mountain refused to repair the Immortal City for the Sword Sect, resulting in the killing of a core disciple by a Sword Sect True Disciple. Enraged by this, the core disciple’s master destroyed the nerve center of the Immortal City, which led to a massive invasion by surrounding Demon Beasts."
"The Sword Sect, discontent, sent three hundred Sword Cultivators to reprimand Ailao Mountain. Ailao Mountain sought help from the Luo Yun Sect, and the first true large-scale battle erupted just outside the Ailao Mountain Sect gates."
Luo Chen estimated the ti.
After this battle broke out, Tian Xingzi of the Dahéfang Zhenlong Black Market hurriedly left.
That was in the following year’s March springti.
He joined forces with Nangong Jin, leading forces to ascend Xiao Huan Mountain and annihilate the Duan Family.
Afterward, he managed to establish his Foundation with difficulty and then left The Great River District.
During this process, the conflict between the two great Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects of the Yu Ding Realm beca deeper and friction between them intensified!
Various large and small battles, centered around the two factions’ Foundation Establishnt True Disciples, continuously erupted.
The battlefield also kept expanding.
Within the Sword Sect, with frequent ergence of powerful experts, there was even an instance where a Golden Core Ascendant Master led hundreds of Sword Cultivators with the intention of breaching deep into Luo Yun Sect territory, but they were repelled by the Luo Yun Sect powerhouses.
Everyone assud the Luo Yun Sect’s foundation was shallow and would not withstand the Sword Sect’s thunderous might.
But to everyone’s surprise, the Luo Yunzong Puppet Technique, which was criticized as a sneaky trick, demonstrated imnse power in the early battles.
In terms of combat strength, they were not inferior to the Yu Ding Sword Cultivators.
There was even an instance where a sa-rank Sword Cultivator slaughtered five Luo Yun Sect puppets in a row, only to be blasted into a blood mist by the opponent.
Of course!
Overall, the Sword Sect was still much stronger than the Luo Yun Sect.
After the Luo Yun Sect allied with Ailao Mountain and withstood the initial few waves of attacks, they deeply felt the struggle of facing the battle alone.
It was during this ti that Qingdan Valley Cultivators joined the battle, astonishingly siding with the Luo Yun Sect.
The Sword Sect would not show weakness, dispatching its many formidable vassal forces into the war.
Moreover, the Fla Alliance also joined them.
By this ti, the battle between the two sides had involved five major Sects and over a dozen first and second rate forces.
It seed both sides also realized that continuing to spread the conflict unchecked was not favorable.
Therefore, they gradually narrowed down the scope of the battlefield, mainly centering around the Sky-reaching Secret Realm, Blackwater Marsh, and Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain as the three major battlegrounds.
Though there were three battle zones, there were clear priorities among them.
The epicenter of the battles was the Sky-reaching Secret Realm.
This was rumored to be an Ancient relic, later developed partially by the Sword Sect, who had exclusively dominated it for hundreds of years.
There were even rumors.
The reason the Yu Ding Sword Sect managed to exceed the wealthy Qingdan Valley in terms of the number of Golden Core and Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in just a few hundred years was because they reaped substantial benefits from the Sky-reaching relic.
The Luo Yun Sect dispatched Golden Core experts, in an attempt to seize this relic, to be shared with Ailao Mountain and Qingdan Valley.
The Sword Sect naturally refused, sending powerful Sword Cultivators to contend for it.
As for the other two battlefields.
The Blackwater Marsh was rich in many resources, among which the Black Demon Marsh Mud was a scarce commodity for Ailao Mountain, which had to spend a high price to buy it from the Sword Sect all year round.
