Chapter 516: 424 Expedition to Tianyuan Realm_1

The azure Flying Boat landed on an expansive Azure Stone Plaza, where stood a resplendent palace adorned with a plaque bearing the golden characters "Qianyang Hall."

Mo Wuya flew out from the azure Flying Boat and landed on the ground.

A tall and slender young man in green swiftly approached, bowed, and said, "Junior Li Sheng greets Senior Mo. Senior Huang, Senior Wang, Senior Lin, Senior Xu, and Senior Ye have been waiting for quite some time."

"Settle these people, they’re the ones who will follow this old man to war."

Mo Wuya instructed, then turned into a beam of Escape Light and left the area.

Shen Long and the others landed on the ground and joined Li Sheng in the registration process.

Li Sheng arranged accommodations for them, and they settled down on Qianyang Island.

In a serene manor, Mo Wuya, Wang Kun, Huang Ziqi, Xu Qingyun, Qinglian Sword Venerable, and Fairy Xuanbing sat around a cyan tea table, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"According to our preliminary investigation, the Tianyuan Realm has about twenty Soul Transformation Cultivators, not exceeding thirty. Here are the details of some of those Soul Transformation Cultivators."

Xu Qingyun took out four Jade Slips of different colors and passed them to Mo Wuya and the others.

After the Divine Sense of Mo Wuya and the others swept over the Jade Slips, their brows slightly furrowed.

The Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Qianyang Realm only amounted to a dozen or so, yet the Tianyuan Realm actually boasted over twenty. No wonder the Qingmei Realm was allying with the Qianyang Realm.

"The Tianyuan Realm is so powerful!"

Wang Kun said, frowning.

"The Tianyuan Realm is different from the Qingmei and Qianyang Realms. The Tianyuan Tribe monopolizes power, ruling the entire Tianyuan Realm in the form of a tribe, with resources highly concentrated in the hands of the major tribe. It’s impossible for Loose Cultivators to advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage."

Xu Qingyun explained.

Most of the resources in the Tianyuan Realm were concentrated in the hands of the Tianyuan Tribe, continuously nurturing Soul Transformation Cultivators. Cultivators from minor tribes rarely advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage unless they were exceptionally notable and joined a major tribe.

All the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm hailed from the major tribes; it was virtually impossible for minor tribe members to achieve the Divinity Transformation Stage, reflecting their strict hierarchical structure.

Human Clans dominated the Qianyang and Qingmei Realms, occupied by families of immortal cultivators and Sects, with resources spread across multiple influential powers.

Feuds among major Human Clan forces might occur, leading to the dispersal of resources and providing Loose Cultivators with the opportunity to attain the Divinity Transformation Stage.

"Will the Tianyuan Tribe seek allies? If they don’t, our two realms united could possibly eradicate the Tianyuan Tribe."

The Qinglian Sword Venerable said, frowning.

"It’s hard to say, such matters are unpredictable, which is why we’re seeking your aid from the Qianyang Realm. If the Tianyuan Tribe really has reinforcements, we can also look for additional help."

Xu Qingyun said.

"We have mobilized three Divinity Transformation Cultivators and over three hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators; this is just the first echelon, with more reinforcements possible. What about the Qingmei Realm?"

Wang Kun asked.

"We’ve already deployed seven Divinity Transformation Cultivators and over seven hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators. We’ve engaged in battle with the Tianyuan Tribe, seizing a portion of their territory, and are progressively advancing. Our goal is to eradicate the Tianyuan Tribe, which requires a gradual advance."

Xu Qingyun said.

"Why not concentrate the Divinity Transformation Cultivators to strike at the Tianyuan Tribe’s key strongholds directly? That would save time and allow us to leverage our military advantage."

Fairy Xuanbing expressed doubt.

"Fairy Lin, as I said earlier, the resources of the Tianyuan Realm are controlled by the Tianyuan Tribe. The majority of their Divinity Transformation Cultivators stay within the Tianyuan Mountain Range. Unlike our Human Clan, where one Sect has a Divinity Transformation Cultivator and one family has another, who then leaves all the work to us juniors? Who knows what cards the Tianyuan Tribe is holding? We need to test the waters and advance step by step."

Xu Qingyun explained.

A direct battle with Divinity Transformation Cultivators at the start of the war? Impossible.

"If we advance slowly, the Tianyuan Tribe will be able to mobilize their forces more effectively against us, right?"

Mo Wuya said, frowning.

"In theory, yes. That’s why we’ve deployed over seven hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators. It would be quite difficult for them to completely annihilate us. You’ve deployed fewer Divinity Transformation Cultivators, three in total, which is rather few. It would be best to send two more. We’ve already taken a piece of their territory and are advancing slowly, gradually wearing down their living forces."

Xu Qingyun said.

Their goal was to eradicate the Tianyuan Tribe, advancing slowly, gradually wiping out the living forces of the Tianyuan Tribe.

They could travel to the Tianyuan Realm, and the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm could also come here.

According to the plan of the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Qingmei Realm, they would occupy a territory to use as a base, slowly push forward, and gradually drain the living forces of the Tianyuan Tribe. The Divinity Transformation Cultivators would just need to command from the rear, sending the younger generation to expend their efforts.

"Should we go there directly and meet up with you?"

Wang Kun asked.

"No, you’ll enter the Tianyuan Realm from another spatial node and strike the Tianyuan Realm’s vital strongholds, then rendezvous with us. The Tianyuan Realm still doesn’t know that you from the Qianyang Realm are joining the battle, you can catch them by surprise,"

Xu Qingyun said.

The Tianyuan Tribe’s attention was currently focused on the cultivators from the Qingmei Realm. The Qianyang Realm could catch them off guard, create some chaos, achieve some victories, and also gain a sizable amount of resources.

"Won’t this result in us being wiped out by the Tianyuan Tribe of the Tianyuan Realm in one fell swoop?"

Wang Kun said with some concern.

"We don’t even know from where you’ll enter the Tianyuan Realm, let alone them. That is, unless someone among you informs the higher-ups of the Tianyuan Tribe,"

Xu Qingyun said.

"Let’s first familiarize ourselves with the situation of the various tribes in the Tianyuan Realm and learn their language and script before we make our move,"

Mo Wuya said.

"You should speed up anyway. If you delay for too long, the Tianyuan Tribe will become wary,"

Xu Qingyun reminded.

"I have another question. Will the Tianyuan Tribe cultivators of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot descend to the Lower Realm?"

Mo Wuya’s expression was grave.

As he spoke these words, the expressions of Fairy Xuanbing and the other two became serious.

"We cannot give a definitive answer. We can only say that it’s possible the Tianyuan Tribe might send people to the Lower Realm. When the time comes, the Big Dipper Pavilion will also send people down. The Tianyuan Tribe of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot is also in big trouble, too busy to look after themselves, so it’s highly unlikely they will send anyone down,"

Xu Qingyun explained. He seemed to recall something and added, "We are also concerned about the Tianyuan Tribe cultivators from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot coming down, which is why we gathered our forces. Even if a Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot is powerful, they could hardly face over a dozen of us alone!"

Gathering Divinity Transformation Cultivators from the Qingmei Realm and the Qianyang Realm together was actually safer.

Mo Wuya and the others nodded in agreement.

Seven days later, in a giant valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, Shen Long and hundreds of others gathered. Mo Wuya, Qinglian Sword Venerable, Fairy Xuanbing, Xu Qingyun, Wang Kun, and Huang Ziqi were all present.

During these seven days, Shen Long and the other cultivators set to depart had learned the language and script of the Tianyuan Tribe.

They had grasped some information about the Tianyuan Realm, and each person had a map of the Tianyuan Realm, all of which were provided by the cultivators from the Qingmei Realm.

In the valley, there was a huge Silver Formation, with runes flashing.

"Activate the Formation, open the spatial passage,"

Wang Kun said softly, channeling a spell into the Silver Formation. The Formation shook violently, a dazzling silver light shot upwards, striking a certain point in the void.

The void rippled, distorted and deformed, tearing open to reveal a black hole more than ten zhang in size, with fierce winds surging.

Mo Wuya summoned a green Flying Boat more than thirty zhang long, flew up to it, followed closely by Huang Ziqi and Fairy Xuanbing.

Shen Long and the more than three hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators took off, landing on the green Flying Boat.

Mo Wuya took out a Realm-Breaking Talisman that shone with golden light and pulsed with astonishing Spiritual Energy.

A fifth-order Realm-Breaking Talisman, cherished by the Wanjian Sect for many years, could weaken the forces between realms.

With a flick of his wrist, the golden talisman flew out, instantly bursting into a thick golden barrier that enveloped the entire green Flying Boat.

The green Flying Boat entered the black hole, which quickly healed thereafter.
