Immortal Road.

When talking about the other three companies, everyone on the stage looked solemn.

"In the past three tides, Youzhu Holy Land has developed three holes, Guigu Holy Land has three and a half holes, and Penglai Holy Land has four holes! We are already at the bottom."

"Penglai has no choice. The other party sent out the East China Sea's genius Shui Xingye. According to the secret investigation in the Holy Land, this person's Taiyin Hanxi body is close to perfection. In a head-on battle, he is invincible without a soul! No one of us can stop him."

"The Taiyin Frost Tide Body? But it is the legendary supreme star spirit body, which can absorb the power of the Taiyin and accept the law of the tide. No matter the three methods of star, water, or law, anyone who gets started can quickly comprehend it."

"That's right, the sect has accurate information, it should be correct!"

"Sigh~~~"

A sound of people gasping for air was heard, and all the more than 30 Nascent Soul cultivators present were terrified.

They naturally knew the power of Shui Xingye. Although this person had only made a few moves in the past twelve years, every time he appeared, it would be earth-shattering!
Sweeping across the four directions, shocking the entire Demon Valley.

Its strength is so great that it has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Now, the Danding Holy Land has finally figured out the whole story, and the truth is even more terrifying.

"According to reliable information, this woman has completely opened up the water and law parts, and only the potential of the stars remains. Once she completely opens the spiritual sea through the three-in-one push, she will be able to complete her innate spiritual body and become a great master!"

"What? There is such a secret?"

"Penglai Holy Land has high hopes for this, and has specially sent its disciples' geniuses here, with the intention of winning at all costs."

"Isn't the Fallen Demon Valley the Dark Star of the Demon Realm? She actually wants to use it to activate her spirit body. Isn't she afraid of being contaminated by the demonic will?"

“I don’t know about that.”

As they talked, they started chatting about other holy places.

"I heard some time ago that Youzhu gathered all the ghost patrols and hunted down dozens of geniuses from all over the world during the past two decades, which finally aroused public anger in this world!"

"This is not a good thing. In the past, they focused on killing the geniuses and neglected the fight for the spiritual tide. Their forces were dispersed and they were defeated by the major holy places, which led to their defeat in the first round of the spiritual tide. It is said that no one succeeded."

"This time they come back with all their might, focusing on the spiritual tide conflict, and will become our formidable enemy!"

"I have received news that many Yuanying-stage monks have recently arrived from the North Valley. I guess they are reinforcements from the Youzhu Holy Land."

"What? When will the reinforcements from our Holy Land arrive?"

"It's hard to say. After all, we have several locations for the second round of spiritual tide. We won't easily mobilize forces from other places to reinforce unless we are forced to make a choice, unless the Fallen Demon Valley can gain an absolute advantage."

Lin Shan sat at the back, listening attentively to the discussions on the stage. He was shocked and took note of them secretly.

Those who are talking are basically Yuanying stage cultivators from the holy land. The Chu State has no qualifications to participate at all. It’s good enough that you can be an observer!
Even so, due to some kind of secrecy, the people in the holy land speak in a reserved manner and will not speak explicitly about the key points.

However, after listening to it, Lin Shan roughly understood the current situation in the Fallen Demon Valley.

There are four holy places participating here, namely: Danding Holy Land, Youzhu Holy Land, Guigu Holy Land and Penglai Holy Land!
The locations it occupied and focused on developing were the West Valley, North Valley, South Valley and East Valley.

The Penglai Holy Land and the Guigu Holy Land were the first to make their plans, so they controlled the Yuanmo Sect and the Huangquan Sect of the Jin State, and had the first-mover advantage in developing the East Valley and South Valley of the Sunken Demon Valley.

The power layout of Danding Holy Land and Youzhu Holy Land in Jin State was insufficient, so they could only support agents from neighboring areas, break into from outside Xushen Mountain in Chu State and Qingmeng in Jiaozhou, and then develop West Valley and North Valley.

There are several caves in each valley, which contain deep cracks connecting the demon world and this world, and contain the secret realm of the void.

The most precious resources discovered so far are the 'Demon Realm Source Energy' and the 'Melting Demon Crystal Core'.

The source energy of the demon world is an invaluable treasure for demon cultivators to break through to new realms. In the past, the Demon Dog Lord, the Black Skull Demon Lord and others all relied on this thing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, even the holy land is drooling over this thing. The more it gets, the more Nascent Soul cultivators it can cultivate!
In the Wanhui Year, the Nascent Soul Stage is the backbone.

Generally, holy places and sects will also evaluate the number of Nascent Soul cultivators on the other side to measure the other side's overall strength.

As for the Molten Demon Crystal Core, it was only briefly mentioned on the stage, and Lin Shan still didn't know what its specific use was.

Just hearing them talk about the Penglai Holy Land, especially the rumored Shui Xingye of the Taiyin Hanxi body, made him secretly alert!

Because this person's goal is the same as his own, and it is also to open the door to the great supernatural power!
If we meet again in the future, there will be a battle, so we must understand it in advance.

"Our Danding Holy Land is good at refining pills, but we are at a disadvantage when fighting with other holy lands. Not to mention that the distance to transfer troops from Chu is far, and it is not as fast as the mainland of Jin and Jiaozhou in the north. This situation must be reversed as soon as possible."

The white-haired old man in the lead looked to his left.

"Junior Sister Yunxi, I have to trouble you recently to cooperate with fellow Daoist Shenwu of Xushen Mountain to select some potential golden elixir seeds to help them break through the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible and enhance our strength."

"Don't save the Tribulation Pills that we brought from the sect and refined here. Take them all out!"

Zhang Yunxi frowned slightly and looked at the two people beside her.

"Aren't these things supposed to be released as rewards only after the spiritual tide ends? It's only in the middle and late stages now, why are they being released so early?"

The mature woman in palace dress spoke decisively.

"We are weak now and can't wait until later. Let's use it first to improve their strength. Otherwise, we will only be a hindrance and cannon fodder and won't be of much help."

Shenwu Zhenjun of Xushen Mountain looked ashamed and could only smile awkwardly, because what Danding Holy Land said was the truth. The people from their side could only be cannon fodder and were indeed far inferior to the monks from the holy land in every aspect.

The last silver-eyed young man had a blank expression on his face and a firm stance.

"Before the departure, the Holy Lord appointed Senior Brother Mingyuan as the person in charge of this trip, so I have no objection."

Zhang Yunxi could feel that she was isolated. Good things were not given to her and she had to do all the dirty work, but she never complained.

He quickly nodded in agreement, indicating that he would meet with Master Shenwu after the meeting.

Next they talked about the battle plan and task allocation after the demonic tide receded, and this time Master Shenwu participated in the discussion.

It took several hours to consult the map and finally reach an agreement.

Afterwards, True Lord Shenwu said goodbye and led dozens of Nascent Soul and Golden Core stage cultivators out of the tent, leaving only the people from Danding Holy Land standing still.

After they all leave.

The four people on the stage began to discuss again. "Brother, the potential of Chu State and Xushen Mountain is almost exhausted. The last time I visited their sect, there were only a few cats and dogs left. I think that the 100,000 people who can come this time are already the limit."

"After one or two more conscriptions, there will probably be no one left. We need people from the Holy Land!"

"The Demonic Tide has five rounds in total, and this is the fourth round. If there is no turnaround, I'm afraid we will be eliminated in advance in the fifth round, and the winner will be decided."

Zhang Yunxi looked at the leading Grandmaster Mingyuan, who was an ancient grandmaster of alchemy from the Danding Holy Land. He was also the consul general of this operation and shouldered the expectations of the holy land.

He thought for a moment, shook his head and sighed.

"It's impossible for the Holy Land to transfer extra forces. You have only joined for a short time and you don't know the interests involved."

"In the last round of spiritual tide, our Dan Ding Holy Land just let all places flourish. In the end, whichever side gained the upper hand would draw manpower from other areas and make all-out efforts to attack that location with the upper hand!"

"If we suffer a serious setback in the Fallen Demon Valley this time, then before the fifth round arrives, if there is great hope in other places where spiritual tides occur, we may have to give up this place and focus on supporting another place."

"Even a lion will do its best to fight a rabbit. The Holy Land only cares about the result and will not care about the difficulties you encounter."

"Helping the superior and not the inferior will expand the advantage and consolidate the victory. Helping the inferior and blowing up the entire line, who will be held responsible in the end?"

Zhang Yunxi immediately leaned over to receive instruction.

"Thank you, senior brother, for clarifying my doubts."

"No need. Junior sister, you are gifted in alchemy. Sooner or later, you will achieve greater success. This old man can only hang around in the Nascent Soul stage. I am a few years older than you now. Maybe I will have to rely on you in the future."

The mature woman in palace dress next to her also quickly spoke up to smooth things over to prevent Zhang Yunxi from feeling dissatisfied, because she had been given too many orders and instructions in recent years, and anyone would be resentful.

Seeing this, the silver-eyed young man next to him just snorted coldly and said nothing.

Grandmaster Mingyuan sighed, his eyes flew outside the tent, flames flickering in his eyes.

"I brought a replica of the Nine Tribulations Medicine King Cauldron with me on this trip. My original intention was to use the Divine Essence Crystal left by the Grand Elder before he left to quickly refine a Supreme Star Pill and bring it back if I could get the Dark Star Meteorite Fragment at the last minute!"

"But I didn't expect that it would become a substitute formation to protect the camp, and it also has to refine the Tribulation Pill for those young people in the Golden Core Stage. It's really a waste of resources!"

"But according to my connections, other spiritual tide places have also suffered setbacks to varying degrees. In comparison, our Fallen Demon Valley is relatively good. If we fight for it with all our strength, there may still be hope."

"Master Shenwu can be entrusted with important tasks, but he cannot be trusted personally. Junior Sister Yunxi, you must be careful."

Zhang Yunxi nodded slightly, but when she heard about the Nine Tribulations Medicine King Cauldron, her eyes barely moved.

"Brother, I understand."

the other side.

Lord Shenwu led the people of Chu State back to their base at Xushen Mountain.

In the main camp, everyone sat down according to their level of cultivation and seniority, and another internal meeting was held. This time, a tense and solemn atmosphere was inevitably created.

"In two months, the demonic tide will recede. Time is running out!"

"This time, I think Dan Ding Holy Land has made up its mind to catch up with the progress of the other three parties. The action is probably the same as the previous three times, still the same routine, but the intensity should be increased. You should all be prepared."

"We are now in a situation where we are at the mercy of others. We should do whatever the Holy Land asks us to do, and don't go against our will!"

"They want us to be cannon fodder, so we should try our best to do what they say. Later, I will try to get enough benefits from them to make up for the losses."

Having said that, Master Shenwu glanced at both sides, as if he was silently estimating his own current strength.

"I will discuss the matter of the Tribulation Pill with Fairy Yunxi. All the cultivators of our sect who are at the peak of the Golden Core stage in the tent will have the opportunity to enter the Nascent Soul stage. This day will not be too late!"

"I will now tell you how to deploy and move in after the demonic tide recedes."

Lin Shan looked at the many Jindan-stage cultivators around him who were absent-minded and secretly daydreaming. It was obvious that they had been bossed around by the Holy Land for many years. They knew that they had no autonomy and had lost their courage and became puppets who only knew how to obey orders. He could not help but secretly shake his head.

He listened very carefully, trying not to miss any details.

Now is far from the time to expose yourself. You should hide well in the team of Xushen Mountain and wait for the perfect opportunity to come.

This one will go on till late at night.

During the final distribution, as people from Luwu Peak, it was naturally given to the current peak master, Jiwang Zhenjun.

After the meeting, the handsome middle-aged man walked up to him with a smile.

"Master, I didn't expect that you would come back safe and sound after more than two decades. Come with me!"

Behind him, there were two middle-aged men on his left and right. They were Xu Jizi’s second and third disciples, Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi.

The two men had blank expressions on their faces, but if you looked closely you could see that the corners of their mouths were slightly upturned. They met again after a long time, and the disciples had all become Nascent Souls, but the master was the only one who had remained where he was.

The wave behind hits the wave in front, the feeling is so painful and refreshing, I even have the urge to hold him down and beat him up.

Lin Shan nodded, stood up with emotion, and saw that there were seven or eight Jindan-stage cultivators from Luwu Peak behind him, all of them were juniors of the Ji generation, and replied with a smile.

"You have grown stronger and stronger, and you have raised Luwu Peak to a higher level step by step. In addition to being pleased, the master also feels distressed. I think you must have suffered a lot along the way. Haha, it's all in the past."

I originally thought that he would preach with a stern face, but I didn't expect that he would say such warm words as soon as he opened his mouth. Not only Ji Wangzi was stunned for a moment, but Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi were also stunned!
They had seen how strict and cruel Xu Jizi was in the past since they were young!
Why did he suddenly change his character now? Did he suffer some setbacks outside and was awakened by the beatings from the society of cultivation?
Ji Wangzi reacted, looked behind him, nodded and smiled.

"Master, follow me."

The group left the territory of Master Shenwu and came to the camp of Luwu Peak. There were a total of thousands of people here. The fact that so many people are still alive after fighting in the spiritual tide for twelve years shows how strong Luwu Peak was before.

Everyone sat down in their own tent and chatted, mainly because of Lin Shan who came from behind.

"Master, when I heard that you had returned to the sect, I wanted to fly back immediately. Unfortunately, there is a ban in the Fallen Demon Valley Holy Land. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, no one is allowed to go out, so I have to stay patient."

"Now that you are here, why don't you tell us about your experiences over the years, and we will tell you about ours."

"The battle in the Fallen Demon Valley will not begin for another two months, which is enough time for you to rest and recuperate." (End of this chapter)
