Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 256 War begins

The sea surrounding the Yao Chi Fairy Island is filled with warships.

These warships are very sophisticated, because most of them are active warships of the regular army of the Immortal Kingdom.

The number of meritorious families is far less than that of ancient families because they basically control the power of the fairyland’s military.

The fleet that came to Qinghai even included the regular fleet of the Immortal Kingdom.

Inside an immortal gold battleship, hundreds of immortal cultivators were holding a combat meeting.

These immortal cultivators are either at the Great Dao Golden Elixir stage or the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.

They are all high-level officials of the ten major Tianjun family fleets.

It can be said that except for the ten Dao Yuanying and some people who managed the fleet, the main leaders of the ten major families who came to Qinghai were basically all here.

"Tell me, how can such a powerful family appear in a medium-sized state? How do the immortal officials in Qingzhou do their work? Or have you all been bribed by the Yi family?"

"The Yi family has manufactured millions of warships that are comparable to the warships currently in service in the Immortal Kingdom, including some Immortal Gold warships. The Immortal Officials of Qingzhou actually know nothing about this. I really can't imagine that your Immortal Officials of Qingzhou are so incompetent.

If we don’t come, it’s hard to say whether Qingzhou will still be the Qingzhou of the Immortal Country in the future.”

The immortal cultivators from meritorious families loudly rebuked the immortal officials from Qingzhou.

Faced with the insults from these people, several immortal officials of Qingzhou could only endure them silently.

Meritorious families, to a certain extent, represent the Immortal Kingdom. The immortal officials attending this meeting were not the powerful officials in Qingzhou City, and they did not dare to refute the people from the ten major families at all.

The reason why the fleets of the ten great celestial monarch families have not yet declared war on Yao Chi is because they are concerned about the Yi family's warships.

The fleets of the ten great families are not afraid of the flying boats of the ancient cultivators, but facing the equally strong fleet of the modern cultivators, they have to consider their own safety.

If Jin Xiu's warship wants to unleash its true power, it not only requires a large number of puppets to control it, but also requires Jin Xiu to be in charge of key positions.

Before coming to Qinghai, although the ten great families heard that the Yi family had many warships, they did not take it seriously.

One reason is that they think the Yi family’s warships are all rubbish.

Secondly, it is impossible for the Yi family to have enough soldiers to form a large fleet.

The Immortal Kingdom allows aristocratic families to exist but does not allow the emergence of sects, just to prevent modern cultivators from forming groups.

If a family alone is not allowed to hire cultivators from other families, it is impossible to produce many modern cultivators, and it is also impossible to form a powerful family fleet.

But who would have thought that in Qingzhou, they would meet an alternative Yi family.

The Yi family's warships, relying solely on puppet control, could actually fight on par with the regular army of the Immortal Kingdom. This was a situation that many people present had not expected.

What is even more difficult for these people who come from immortal king families to accept is that the people of the Yi family have no fear of their immortal king families.

On the battlefield, after the Yi family's warships shot down their warships, they captured the cultivators of their family and killed them without mercy.

It was precisely because of the Yi family's decisiveness in killing that the ten great families never made up their minds to go to war with the other side.

Because once the war breaks out, it is conceivable that many members of the tribe will die on the battlefield, and some of these dead may be those present.

Every cultivator with natural spiritual roots today cherishes his/her long life.

In this meeting, ten Great Dao Jindan sat in the front row.

The ten Great Dao Jindan ignored the noise in the meeting place and communicated with each other through voice transmission.

“The Yi family is somewhat special. It is not so easy for us to deal with the Yi family through official means. The six children of Yi Dong each have certain connections in the officialdom.

Especially Yi Jun, who was appreciated by several Fentian generals on the Beiyue battlefield and had a foundation in the military.

Yi Feng also received strong support from Shenmu Taoist Temple. It was rumored that he had recently become one of the Taoist temple's true disciples.

If we deal with the Yi family through official means, we will have to face obstacles from both the military and the Taoist temple."

“Not only that, Yi Ling is good friends with Cheng Ziyan from the Qingchen Immortal Lord family. Because of Cheng Ziyan, Yi Ling also has friendships with many geniuses from meritorious families.

Obviously, we want to define the Yi family as an evil cultivation family. It is not impossible, but it will take a long time to implement. Without thirty to fifty years, it is unrealistic to use the power of the Immortal Kingdom to attack the Yi family.

If we want to quickly occupy Yaochi Fairy Island, we can only defeat the Yi family’s fleet head-on.”

“The Yi family has a fleet of two million warships on Yaochi Fairy Island, and another two million warships docked in Tiannan County.

The longer it drags on, the more warships the Yi family will have in Tiannan County.

The sooner we start the war, the better it will be for us.”

"Then let's start the war. War always means death. The outstanding descendants of our family have already gone to the Beiyue Spiritual Realm. Those who came to Qinghai with us now are all useless. They will die if they die."

Among the meritorious families, the one with the highest spiritual root has the highest status.

However, there are also differences in status for those who cultivate their spiritual roots today.

The cultivation of modern practitioners is very strict. Some of them will always lose the chance to advance to the Yuanying stage or even the Jindan stage due to various accidents that pollute their bodies or souls, or the modifications to their techniques do not fully suit their own conditions, etc.

This is also the reason why many cultivators here have become the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

In a meritorious family, members of the family who have no hope of achieving the Great Dao Nascent Soul generally have a low status.

Of course, having the hope of becoming a Dao Yuanying does not mean that one will definitely be able to advance, because the resources required to condense a Dao Yuanying are extremely huge. Even for an Immortal King family, it is not easy to cultivate a Dao Yuanying.

The ten people here have great hope of becoming Dao Yuanying, but are unable to advance due to lack of sufficient resources.

The Ten Immortal Islands are related to their hope of becoming the Yuanying of the Great Dao. For the sake of their own path, the death of some clansmen is not a problem at all.

As these ten people made their decision, the meeting soon came to a conclusion.

In less than ten days, the fleet of more than 10 million warships was divided into two parts.

A fleet of nearly nine million warships took turns attacking Yao Chi, and the remaining fleet of just over two million dealt with the Yi family fleet in Tiannan County.

From that day on, the sky above Yao Chi Fairy Island was filled with battleships. The gunfire from the battleships lit up the night sky, making Yao Chi Fairy Island daytime for three full months.

The large formation of the Yao Chi Fairy Island only protects some important islands. A large amount of artillery fire fell into Yao Chi, and the high temperature evaporated the lake water, making the Yao Chi, which was already filled with white fog all year round, even foggier.

The Yi family only has two million warships, and even with the help of formations, it is still difficult to resist the fleets of the ten major families.

Fortunately, Taichu Zixing's fleet is composed of tree people who are not afraid of life and death, while the aristocratic family's fleet still has cultivators who cherish life very much.

Therefore, it is not easy for the top ten families to invade the Yao Chi Fairy Island in a short period of time.

Huanglong Island.

The center of Huanglong Divine City.

The old man Guantian looked at Yi Taizhen who had opened her eyes.

“You have already refined the Yellow Dragon Divine City into your life object. Now, it is time to suppress the space fragments and advance to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Now your Yi family is being suppressed by the top ten families.

The ten great families are determined to conquer Yao Chi. Your Yi family won't be able to hold out for long.

The Yellow Dragon Divine City can unlock the power that has been sealed on Yaochi Fairy Island. Only by relying on the power of the fairy island itself can we protect Yaochi Fairy Island."

Yi Taizhen nodded.

Although the key to unleashing the power of Huanglong Divine City lies in the power of the people, it also requires a certain amount of power from the master to guide it.

With the mana space, he can quickly cultivate massive mana by swallowing a large number of pills.

As for the side effects of refining large quantities of elixirs, there is no need to worry, because Huanglong Divine City can transfer these side effects to the people.

Seeing Yi Taizhen begin to construct the space chakra, Old Man Guantian nodded, and his figure flashed and appeared in the Yaochi Cave.

Under the withered tree, an old man in purple robe had been waiting.

"You're finally back. Last time I just knocked over the chessboard, but you asked me to give your heir a dragon egg. That was a bit too much."

The old man Guantian glared at Tianjizi.

Tianjizi looked innocent.
“I don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Besides, that person is not my descendant."

"You're just kidding. If that idiot Wen Yuan had the ability to train a Dao Foundation-building cultivator of that level, he wouldn't have been plotted to death."

After saying this, the old man shook his head, no longer dwelling on this topic, and said:
"You went to see those old guys, what did they say?"

“What else can I say? The people of Tianzhu Mountain have made it very clear that they want to take the fragments of the ancestral veins scattered in the ten spiritual realms back to Zhongzhou to repair the nine ancestral veins.

If they refuse, it won’t be the second-rate families who come to Qinghai, but the people from Tianzhu Mountain.”

“It seems that the remaining fairy islands will also appear in the world.

This is good, so as to avoid attracting firepower to Yaochi."

Just when Tianjizi was about to say something, he suddenly looked in one direction.

Almost at the same time, the old man Guantian also looked over.

A female Buddhist practitioner in a monk's robe suddenly appeared from space.

After Duo Luo appeared, he smiled slightly and said:
“You two, I have no ill intentions.

I just heard from you two that the remaining nine fairy islands are about to appear in the world.

I wonder if you can tell me the location of Puji Fairy Island."

Old Man Guantian and Tianjizi looked at each other, with a hint of solemnity in their eyes.

The two of them didn't even notice this person approaching.

Duo Luo had only been on Yao Chi Fairy Island for about two years, but Old Man Guantian was no stranger to her. He knew that this female Buddhist practitioner was the real leader of the more than 30 million Buddhist practitioners in Yao Chi.

In the past, Old Man Guantian only regarded Duo Luo as an immortal cultivator who was equivalent to a deity and did not pay too much attention to him.

Now it seems that this person obviously cannot be regarded as an ordinary immortal cultivator.

Tianjizi looked at Duoluo, his eyes moved slightly,

"Puji Fairy Island? Sure.

However, I want you Buddhists to help me do something.

Don't worry, it's not difficult. As for what it is, I will contact you when the time comes."

After Duo Luo agreed to Tianjizi's request, he discussed with the two of them for a while and then left the Yaochi Cave Heaven directly.

Tianjizi saw that the old man Guantian was looking at him and knew what he meant, so he explained:
“These Buddhist practitioners are naturally nothing to us, but have you forgotten the Buddhist practitioner who called himself Honglian?

I think this person may have the potential to join our program in the future.

The main reason I helped them was because of Honglian.

Besides, I don’t care who Pujixian Island belongs to.

If the Buddhist sect can hold on, then let them take it.”

The old man Guantian nodded, but it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the 285th year of Kanshui.

In the Yellow Dragon Divine City, Yi Taizhen stood up, her eyes burning.
"The war should end. It's time for me, the nominal head of the family, to clear my name."
