Therefore, Ailao Mountain Cultivators made this place their main battlefield, joined forces with the Luo Yun Sect, and attempted to dominate the area.
As for the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, it’s even more complicated.
Here lies an ultra-large, fourth-order thunder ore vein, which has eroded the land over the years, even creating the wondrous sight known as the Ten Thousand Li of Yellow Sands Wasteland.
Everyone wants it, but no one can fully possess it.
Both sides dispatched a large number of Lower Order Disciples, fighting over every inch of land to claim dominance.
This battlefield also has the highest number of combatants, with the most complex composition of forces.
Ascendant Sects, Great Sects, first- and second-rate forces, as well as nurous Rogue Cultivators, are all entangled in it.
Ten years ago, the Sky-reaching Secret Realm was suddenly closed!
It marked the conclusion of one battleground.
As a result, there was no longer a battlefield for direct clashes between high-order cultivators of the two major Ascendant Sects.
They beca sowhat restrained, no longer taking direct action themselves.
Instead, they led their forces and allies to wage a war of attrition in the Blackwater Marsh and the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain.
"So, this is why everyone feels that over the past few years, the intensity of battles between the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects felt less severe and sowhat eased?"
Luo Chen murmured to himself.
With his powerful Divine Soul, and keen intellect,
he finished compiling and reviewing the files known as "Yu Ding Civil War" in just half a day.
There were many doubtful points and intriguing aspects to consider, not a few.
But these were not the focus.
At least, they were of little relevance to him, Luo Chen.
He lightly massaged his temples and took the latest few years’ intelligence from Su Xiaolin’s hands.
Compared to the previous compilation of files, these were more detailed.
For instance, although Ailao Mountain seed powerful in Blackwater Marsh, under the joint forces led by the Yu Ding Sword Sect, they suffered heavy losses.
Even two Golden Core Cultivators ended up one dead and one injured.
In the case of the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, the conflict between Qingdan Valley and the Fla Alliance also escalated seriously.
Many Foundation Establishnt Stage True Disciples fought with True Fire, resulting in no small number of fallen cultivators.
Amidst it all, nurous first and second-rate minor forces dissipated under the pressure of the major powers.
The descendants of Ghost God Valley, which Luo Chen was familiar with, perished in battle as their Family Foundation Establishnt Cultivators continued to die.
In the end, they were plundered by a group of Rogue Cultivators, who looted their clan’s territory.
There are many such examples!
"I thought life in Tian Lan Immortal City was already intricate and survival was difficult."
"I didn’t expect that in the wider Immortal Cultivation World, even more brutal struggles were incessantly unfolding."
"Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that the Golden Core Great Sects have beco more cautious, aiming to control the losses among those under their command. Even Qingdan Valley, using the excuse of establishing a new Budding Cultivator, initiated the Seed Cultivator Battle and started recalling nurous disciples from the battlefield."
From the evolution of the major situation, Luo Chen discovered many details.
He even deduced that so sects no longer wished to continue fighting in this quagmire of a war.
Finally, Luo Chen turned his attention to the intelligence gathered by the Luo Tian Intelligence Net during the year and a half he was away from Tianlan.
"In the year 3425 of the Mountain Sea Calendar, Han Zhan of Luo Yun Sect Supre and True Master Yu Ding of Sword Sect had their first public eting by the Qin Flower River, and both left with displeasure!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen’s expression changed slightly.
He finally understood what major events had occurred during the year and a half he was absent.
The Qin Flower River as the negotiation site between the two sects.
A eting between True Masters that ended without joy.
What this implied was clear to everyone.
Of course, the ntioned Qin Flower River was certainly not the one near Tian Lan Immortal City.
The Qin Flower River traverses the entire Yu Ding Realm and is an undeniable great river, second only to Lancang Lake in scale.
The specific location of the negotiations was not detailed.
The content of the negotiations was also unknown.
But just by the fact that they "left with displeasure," it ant that the Yu Ding Civil War was set to continue!
Even, it could be said that the accumulated grievances were about to erupt, and the intensity of the war would escalate.
One year ago!
Wasn’t that when the Seed Cultivator Battle began?
Luo Chen recalled the many Golden Core Ascendant Masters he saw at the Heaven Palace.
He rembered clearly that Tao Yisheng claid observants from the Luo Yun Sect, Hundred Flowers Palace, Ice Castle, and Ailao Mountain—four Great Sects with Golden Core Cultivators—had co to attend.
But on the Heaven Palace, he had not seen any Golden Core Cultivators from Luo Yun Sect.
"They ca but did not show up, or perhaps they left imdiately upon arrival."
"What does that imply?"
"Notification!"
"Yes, they ca to deliver the news, and just to make a formal appearance."
"In other words, after the Seed Cultivator Battle ended, Luo Yun Sect’s war machine started moving in full swing. Qingdan Valley and Ailao Mountain were still committed to action, and even Ice Castle stopped hesitating, decisively siding with Luo Yun Sect, ready to join the war!"
After sorting all of this out.
The ti had moved deep into the night.
Luo Chen leaned back in his chair, weary in thought.
Without lifting his eyelids, he said, "You can all go now, except for Hui Niang."
Sima Xian and Su Xiaolin, who had been standing all day, looked at each other, then respectfully excused themselves.
Watching the exhausted Luo Chen, Sima Huiniang stood up behind him and began to massage his acupoints.
"You’ve never taken such an interest before, what made you pay such close attention to the battle between Ascendant Sects today?"
"I have no choice but to care!" Luo Chen said with his eyes closed and with heaviness in his voice: "Because before long, we will have to be a part of it."
"What did you say?"
Sima Huiniang slowed her movents, as if she hadn’t heard him clearly.
Luo Chen sighed, "The Ice Castle Jueqing Fairy has requested my Luo Tian Creed, all mbers above the Seventh Level Qi Refinent, to participate in the war, leaving only one Foundation Establishnt True Cultivator to guard Danxia."
With that said.
The fingers massaging Luo Chen’s face suddenly stiffened.
Sima Huiniang’s expression and pupils shook as she sat across from Luo Chen.
"Is that true?"
"Would I joke about such a matter with you?"
