Qin Yan bared his teeth, having pondered a particular question countless tis before.
The sect excelled in Artifact Refining and Beast Taming, so why didn’t it raise a Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast to defend the sect?
The answer to the question lay before him: The sect had a Golden Core Stage Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast!
In that instant, his sense of security greatly increased.
It’s not a problem if the sect keeps things hidden, but it would be if the sect truly had nothing!
Initially, he had so reservations about Daoist Master Yuxiao. Even though he had only broken through to the Chao Origin Stage twenty years ago, his combat power was still top-tier within the First Transformation of Chao Origin realm.
Returning to the sect on a Spirit Ship to request assistance should be left to a cultivator with lesser combat abilities.
Now, he thought otherwise.
To be the first to touch the sect’s deepest resources was precisely a sign of the ancestor’s trust.
The Earth Dragon Beast’s size rapidly shrank, soon becoming only as tall as a person and about ten feet in length.
As its size decreased, its originally brown scales began to emit a dark golden glow.
Most of its overwhelming aura was contained, emitting only the presence of a late-stage Foundation Establishnt.
Qin Yan was taken aback; this Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast was quite a "cunning" creature.
"When do we set off?"
Rock Ancestor’s voice rumbled, as it mimicked a cat stretching lazily, its crocodile-like tail swinging leisurely back and forth, triggering sonic booms in the air.
Having slumbered underground for many years, it could seize this opportunity to stretch its legs.
"The sect needs to recruit disciples and prepare so combat materials. The departure is set for 7:00 AM three days from now."
"Since arrangents have been made, why wake so early! Go on, I’ll sleep a few more days."
The Earth Dragon Beast’s body vanished.
Daoist Master Zhengyang bowed toward the void, "Three days later, I will co to receive Rock Ancestor for departure."
He shook his head slightly; if Rock Ancestor did not agree, he couldn’t force him. He would have to seek another solution.
...
After the three of them left the Secret Vault, Daoist Master Zhengyang took out two Communication Golden Swords, inscribed information with his Divine Sense, then activated them, saying in a deep voice:
"I have already notified the Law Enforcent Hall and the Diligence Hall. They will recruit cultivators and provide materials as needed.
Today, you will proceed to Yingri Peak and Lingxiao Mountain for communication, departing from Sunrise Peak three days later."
He waved his hand, "Get busy now."
"As your command, disciple takes leave."
Qin Yan clasped his hands, leaped onto the Spirit Ship, adjusted its direction, and departed.
As the massive Spirit Ship left, the Treasure Pavilion was once again bathed in sunlight.
Jia Yu bowed his head slightly, saying:
"Ancestor, there are enough Loose Cultivators in Mingfeng Mountain Immortal City. By using them as expendable assets, it should be possible to defend for a long ti."
This was the plan laid out from the very beginning.
"Loose Cultivators should not be wasted aninglessly, even in death, they should die with more value.
Have you ever considered that if too many Loose Cultivators die, even if the Three Sects can retain more of their cultivators, the control area of the Human Race will shrink significantly after the Demon Calamity?"
The force of Loose Cultivators is a crucial part of Western Continent; with the current situation, where the Demon Calamity, Demon Cultivators, and Demon Beasts collide, one must think more deeply.
Jia Yu cautiously asked:
"Ancestor, if the Central Continent support is delayed, what should we do?"
If there were no Nascent Soul Stage powers present, even with the full strength of Western Continent sects combined, relying on the Mingfeng Mountain Immortal City’s Mountain Protection Array gives them a good chance of resisting the Demon Beasts’ assaults.
However, judging from the current actions of the Demon Beasts, it is highly likely there is a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast pushing behind the scenes.
"Do our utmost to hold fast. Ever since the sect’s founder decided to relocate to Western Continent, this has been our foundational territory.
No matter what, it must be defended.
If Mingfeng Mountain cannot be held, then the sect must be defended to the death."
Daoist Master Zhengyang felt a pang in his heart, grateful that the sect’s main Spiritual Vein advanced to Tier Three a few decades ago.
Otherwise, when faced with a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast, they wouldn’t even have the qualifications to defend.
At this mont, he silently prayed to the sect’s founder.
Jia Yu sighed:
"I wonder if the situation would be better if the sect had chosen to remain in Central Continent."
Staying in Central Continent would have at least ant not having to worry so intensely about the Demon Calamity.
Daoist Master Zhengyang scoffed:
"Competition in Central Continent is even fiercer; small sects can only survive at the whim of major sects.
If the sect had stayed in Central Continent, it’s possible that the legacy would have already been severed.
In Western Continent, the greatest threat cos from the Demon Beasts, while in Central Continent, the threat cos from other cultivators.
Most of the ti, Demon Beasts are much easier to deal with than cultivators."
He paused, then instructed:
"I have inford Lin Jiuxiao, recruited cultivators can exchange for Spiritual Artifacts at a cheaper rate.
If the disciples’ contribution points are insufficient, they can rent.
Handle the specifics as you see fit."
The battle at Mingfeng Mountain is extrely dangerous, so any additional strength is beneficial.
Jia Yu bowed his head, solemnly saying:
"Disciple understands."
...
That night, batches of Communication Golden Swords were launched from the Law Enforcent Hall, like teors, lighting up the sect’s night sky.
Nurous cultivators stayed awake all night; receiving communications in the midnight hours, everyone understood the seriousness of the matter.
The commotion, however, was temporarily unrelated to Red Fla Peak. At this mont, Ji An was staying inside the Grotto Mansion, playing with a curiosity in his hand.
This unknown object obtained from Mingfeng Mountain Immortal City had shrunk by a ring compared to before, the originally taut red rope bindings now slack.
In recent years, it consistently produced Gen Spirit, accumulating over six hundred points.
Now, what the Stone Turtle couldn’t absorb in Gen Spirit, it unexpectedly absorbed in Kun Spirit, a change that astonished him.
The efficiency of the Stone Turtle in absorbing Kun Spirit was similar to that of Gen Spirit, at around ten points per month.
At this mont, Ji An faintly confird that this curiosity was an Earth Elent item.
What it specifically was, he still had no idea given his current knowledge.
