Ten Days Later
Over the past ten days, the disciples of the Daxia Immortal Sect have gradually fully absorbed the benefits brought by their world’s advancement.
Each individual’s strength has undergone a qualitative transformation.
The number of disciples in the Golden Core stage has already surpassed three thousand.
Breaking through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage is relatively simple, especially for those with strong talents, given the abundant spiritual fluid infusion. It provides them with opportunities to break through.
However, reaching the Nascent Soul stage from the Golden Core stage is a much greater challenge.
Among the three thousand Golden Core stage disciples, more than three hundred have chosen to enter the Red Earth Star.
This group includes individuals like Zhang Hu, Hui Kong, and Hong Tian.
Currently, they have arrived at a battlefield closest to the world’s rift.
The Tianfeng Mountain battlefield.
It is guarded by a mid -Nascent Soul stage expert from the Silver Moon Clan, who is confronting the cultivators from the Red Earth Star.
The formation of this battlefield is due to the Silver Moon Clan plundering the world’s vitality in this area.
The Purple Unicorn Mountain is a high-quality spiritual mountain of the Nascent Soul stage, gathering the world’s spiritual energy and essence.
This is the primary reason for turning this place into a battlefield.
The Silver Moon Clan’s method of plundering is not through ordinary cultivation methods. Such methods are considered primitive in the universe, with slow efficiency and limited ability to cause significant damage to smaller worlds, not to mention that they can only be used by the cultivator themselves.
The Silver Moon Clan has set up a powerful formation called the “Thirty-Six Essence Plundering Array” here.
Once this formation is deployed, vitality within a radius of thousands of miles becomes the target of plundering.
It continues until the local origin is entirely depleted.
This kind of array is much more potent than ordinary cultivation methods because it doesn’t just plunder vitality; it targets the world’s essence.
The world’s essence is usually hidden throughout the world and is only mobilized when needed. These hidden locations are often famous mountains and rivers.
Now, the Silver Moon Clan is directly plundering the Red Earth Star’s world essence, not just vitality.
The Thirty-Six Essence Plundering Array consists of thirty-six array nodes and one core.
The core is located in the Purple Unicorn Mountain, while the thirty-six array nodes surround it.
The core is guarded by a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, reinforced by the power of the formation. It’s impossible for the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Red Earth Star to challenge it.
As for sending stronger beings to deal with this situation, the Silver Moon Clan is not foolish; they have long since locked onto the more powerful cultivators from the Red Earth Immortal Sect.
Wherever they appear or intend to go, they will be closely watched.
Unless they use some unexpected means.
However, the Silver Moon Clan’s strength is already superior, so opening up an even larger battlefield… would the Red Earth Immortal Sect accept or refuse?
Refusing would lead to the destruction of their planet even faster.
Accepting would leave them without any means to mobilize their forces.
Under such circumstances, only Nascent Soul stage cultivators can face Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
The Red Earth Immortal Sect must break the Thirty-Six Essence Plundering Array to have a chance of capturing this area.
To break the array, they cannot directly attack; they must first break the thirty-six array nodes surrounding the Purple Unicorn Mountain.
Even if they don’t fully dismantle it, breaking a portion of it would reduce the amplification effect of the Thirty-Six Essence Plundering Array on the mid-Nascent Soul stage Silver Moon Clan cultivators.
Under the amplification of the formation, the Silver Moon Clan’s mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators would directly reach perfection in the Nascent Soul stage, making it impossible for the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Red Earth Immortal Sect to defeat them.
At this stage, the Red Earth Immortal Sect has dispatched numerous Golden Core stage disciples to attack the thirty-six array nodes.
The Silver Moon Clan is in a defensive position.
They don’t need to do much; they only need to hold out for a while and absorb the local essence before they can make their escape.
What’s urgent is for the Red Earth Immortal Sect’s cultivators.
At this moment, the disciples of the Daxia Immortal Sect who have come to the Red Earth Star have gathered around a place called the Black Wind Forest, where they meet with Fang Yunlei.
Hong Tian, Zhang Hu, Hui Kong, and other disciples from the Daxia Immortal Sect who have come to the Red Earth Star haven’t run around aimlessly.
The reason they have gathered here is, of course, their acquaintance with Fang
Yunlei.
In the Black Wind Forest, there is one of the Thirty-Six Essence Plundering Array nodes, and Fang Yunlei is stationed here under the orders of the mid-Nascent Soul stage elders.
Over a thousand disciples of the Red Earth Immortal Sect have gathered here. However, among them, there are only a hundred in the Golden Core stage, and the strongest is a Golden Core stage perfection cultivator named Cao Manshan.
When more than three hundred Golden Core stage disciples from the Daxia Immortal Sect arrived, it was quite a shock to them.
They were quickly treated as honored guests.
“Cao Daoist, with the assistance of these fellow Daoists, we will undoubtedly break through this place this time!” Hong Tian’s eyes held a sense of anticipation, looking forward to the upcoming action.
He had arrived here early and had initially attempted to attack the Black Wind Forest with Cao Manshan and other disciples from the Red Earth Immortal Sect.
However, they were unable to penetrate it due to the boost provided by the array nodes. The enemy’s strength had increased significantly, and they remained holed up within the Black Wind Forest.
While they couldn’t get in, the Golden Core stage perfection cultivators on the other side were becoming Nascent Soul stage cultivators thanks to the amplification.
This situation was frustrating for Hong Tian.
The enemy’s strategy was straightforward: stay within their protective shell and dare you to break through.
The inability to penetrate had led to Hong Tian’s irritation. However, he carefully considered the reasons behind this situation.
Despite his strength, facing ten Golden Core stage perfection cultivators alone would still hinder him. If they added another Golden Core stage perfection cultivator, he would be in mortal danger.
Given this, it was impossible to break through, so he had no choice but to ask for reinforcements.
He activated his token and called for help.
In ten days, the Daxia Immortal Sect sent three hundred Golden Core stage disciples. Among them, Zhang Hu and Hui Kong had recently broken through to the Golden Core stage, making them quite powerful.
“No need, no need. With the assistance of all these fellow Daoists, we will undoubtedly break through this place!” Cao Manshan was also excited. He had never expected reinforcements to arrive.
Although Fang Yunlei had mentioned it before, getting support from other world’s immortal sects was not free. There were costs involved, and they had many options besides the Daxia Immortal Sect, an unfamiliar sect.
Moreover, the decision depended on the top-level elders of their sect.
As for the idea of all humans being the same and asking other worlds’ humans for free assistance, it was never even considered.
In this harsh universe, even among the same race, interests were paramount. They were fortunate if they didn’t kill each other for personal gain.
So Cao Manshan was genuinely grateful, although he couldn’t help but feel that the Daxia Immortal Sect might not yet have experienced the cruelty of the universe. They were still somewhat naive.
Looking at the disciples of the Daxia Immortal Sect, Cao Manshan felt a deep sense of gratitude.
“In that case, let’s get started quickly, without delay,” Hong Tian urged.
“Yes, the sooner, the better for a situation like this,” Zhang Hu also expressed his impatience.
“Amitabha, Cao Host, please make the arrangements. I can’t wait to send them to meet the Buddha.” Hui Kong spoke like a monk but with words that were anything but monk-like.
“Very well,” Cao Manshan couldn’t help but smile wryly. These disciples from the Daxia Immortal Sect… he didn’t know what to say. They seemed to think that this was their world, and they were the ones being invaded..
