I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 625 Resurgence (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In this attack on Kunlun Pass, six of the eight locations, including Kunlun Pass itself, were successfully defended, while two were lost.

Fortunately, the Mountain and Sea Alliance promptly dispatched manpower and recaptured the lost island.

The activation of the Nine Cauldrons Boundary-Stabilizing Array was like building an invisible dam in front of the surging demonic tide.

On the boundless sea, the demonic tide continued to retreat to a sea area three thousand miles away, and the tense atmosphere on the front line, which had been tense for more than a year, finally eased.

However, the leaders of the Mountain and Sea Alliance are well aware of the 'poisoned chalice' nature of this strategy and are still actively seeking other ways to suppress the demonic tide.

The Dinghai Pavilion meeting, chaired by Alliance Leader Cangyi Xingjun, issued a strict order: the demonic threat has not been eliminated, and there can be no relaxation for a moment!
With the various sects of the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, as well as the Mountain and Sea Alliance, pouring in resources regardless of cost, the construction of each island is in full swing.

One year later, the seventy-two demon-suppressing passes on the Boundless Sea were finally completed!

With the pass completed, training troops is of utmost urgency.

At the beginning of the island's construction, although the cultivators who had survived the baptism of the demonic tide survived, more than 80% of them later developed mental problems.

In severe cases, practitioners may suffer from qi deviation and die from qi deviation during practice.

Even those who lost their fighting spirit left the Demon Suppression Pass to return to their sect for secluded cultivation.

In response to this problem, the Mountain and Sea Alliance drew on the experience of the Northern Profound cultivators and transferred dozens of array cultivators who were proficient in illusion arrays from various places. Relying on the terrain of each island and the prototype of the island protection array, they set up a series of large-scale and almost indistinguishable 'Heart Refining Illusion Arrays' in the outer sea area of ​​the Demon Suppression Pass.

These illusion arrays can accurately simulate the overwhelming darkness, the filthy and viscous demonic energy, and the hordes of distorted demonic shadows that surge forth when the demonic tide arrives.

It can even allow cultivators entering the formation to personally experience the entry of demonic energy into their bodies and watch their own bodies become demonized.

The cultivators stationed on each island were rotated in batches to undergo training in the illusion array.

Those who are new to the formation are still terrified by the realistic and terrifying scene and the mental shock. Some even lose their composure instantly and are 'demonized' and eliminated.

But with each entry, in the simulation of blood and fire, these cultivators began to 'desensitize' themselves. They learned how to maintain mental clarity under the interference of demonic thoughts, how to form formations and attack more efficiently, and how to accurately identify and prioritize killing the demons who commanded the demonic tide. Their experience in fighting the demonic tide grew rapidly.

At the same time, the Mountain and Sea Alliance's orders spread throughout the rear states, sending its mid-to-late Foundation Establishment disciples to the front lines for training!

Upon the issuance of this decree, various sects in the Eastern Continent and the Western Spirit responded enthusiastically.

As a result, the various sects in the rear also placed greater emphasis on cultivating the character of their disciples, allocating resources to develop talismans for calming the mind and spirit, elixirs to help stabilize the Dao heart, magical treasures to resist demonic energy, and even sect trials specifically designed to hone one's will.

As the earliest pass built, Kunlun Pass was attacked by the demons. The scene was recorded by the cultivators in the city with a recording stone and spread everywhere. Jiang Yi's strength and the power of the Kunlun Pass Bagua Golden Light Array were recognized.

In just one year, Kunlun Pass became the largest trading port along the Zhenmo Pass line. Major merchants fought tooth and nail, pulled strings, and offered high prices just to grab a location near Wangbei Tower in the city to open a shop.

Those forces that couldn't seize the land in Kunlun Pass had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: the neighboring Xuan Ying Island or Zi Yang Island, with Xuan Ying Island being more popular than Zi Yang Island.

The cultivators couldn't explain why, even though Xuan Ying Island looked quite poor, it gave people a sense of order, reliability, and security.

After all, this is the only place where you can see the island's sword cultivators lined up at sea and practicing their swords together every morning.

After the name of Xuan Ying Island spread, not only did the Xuan Ying Sword Sect sword cultivators who had been scattered in various places come from afar to join, but many independent sword cultivators also chose to join. However, the island master was extremely strict in selecting disciples, and very few were able to pass the selection.

Later, after being persuaded by others, the conditions were relaxed.

Disciples who score full marks in the assessment enter the inner sect, while those who pass enter the outer sect.

Besides the earth-shaking changes on the front lines, talents from all over the Mountain and Sea Realm have begun to emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Even the Refining Void Star Lords of various sects feel that this is the blessing of Heaven protecting the human race, fulfilling the saying, "Heroes emerge in troubled times."

Leaving aside those he wasn't familiar with, among the people Jiang Yi knew, Hua Luosha, Luo Qingsi, and Liu Taozhi all reached the Nascent Soul stage one after the other.

Hua Luosha possessed the inheritance of the Ghost Emperor. On the day she formed her Nascent Soul, the Yin energy at sea was so dense that the Mountain and Sea Alliance thought a demonic tide was about to strike again. Fortunately, Jiang Yi reminded Jiang Yunye, thus preventing a major disaster. Luo Qingsi and Liu Taozhi formed their Nascent Souls in their respective sects, and the celestial phenomena surrounding their formations were equally extraordinary.

In the five years that followed, several people in the Cangling Sect also achieved Nascent Soul stage, including Zhao Cangyun and Shang Shixu, Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang who had recently returned from the Southern Wilderness, as well as several elite disciples from various sects in the Northern Profound Sect.

For some reason, the Cangling Sect kept the locations where these people formed their Nascent Souls very well hidden. No one had ever seen the celestial phenomena of their Nascent Soul formation, nor had they ever held a Nascent Soul formation ceremony.

The news of these people reaching the Nascent Soul stage was only reported when the Mountain and Sea Alliance was compiling statistics on the number and cultivation levels of cultivators from various sects.

During this period, the Northern Demon Tide remained calm.

However, on the Eastern Continent, the Dream Immortal Sect has resurfaced, becoming even more difficult to detect and guard against than it was in the Northern Xuan.

Danxi had long wanted to go to the front lines to fight alongside Jiang Yurong, but due to the appearance of the Mengxian Sect, she was left behind by Dinghai Pavilion to deal with the Mengxian Sect's problems.

Rumors spread that the Dream Immortal Sect could bring the dead back to life. The Dream Immortal Sect not only ravaged mortals but also amassed a group of loyal followers among cultivators, constantly creating chaos in the rear.

Danxi was in a terrible predicament and could only send an urgent message to summon Jiang Yi back to Cangling Sect to discuss countermeasures together.

Besides that, there is something even more important that Jiang Yi needs to decide.

Inside Kunlun Pass, Jiang Yi, who had been in seclusion for six years, had her cave door cleaved open by Jiang Yunye's sword because of this urgent letter.

Inside the stone chamber, Jiang Yi yawned with her eyes closed and sat up lazily.

She didn't sleep directly on the Youxian Ferry, fearing that powerful cultivators might visit the island and wouldn't be able to scan her with their divine senses, so she slept directly in the stone chamber of her cave.

Anyway, the sword-nurturing gourd is kept warm in her dantian, and all the demons can come and go freely, and she can also freely mobilize the spiritual energy within it.

For the past six years, Jiang Yi has deliberately blocked out all her dreams, allowing herself to sleep 'purely' without any awareness, clearing her mind of all distractions. As a result, when she woke up, her mind was blank, and she stared blankly at Jiang Yunye in front of her.

"Who...are you?"

Jiang Yunye was taken aback at first, then his face paled with shock. He drew his longsword, planted it in the ground, and spread out a sword domain. He rushed to Jiang Yi in one stride, grabbed her wrist, and ruthlessly probed into her body with his divine sense.

Ok?
It doesn't look like it's been possessed.
His meridians were strong and powerful, almost as wide as those of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and his magical power surged like the sea.

Dantian is fine... Wow! This little Nascent Soul is quite fierce!

Sea of ​​consciousness...

Wow—what a powerful barrier!

Jiang Yunye's divine sense was repelled by the moonlight barrier and the Heavenly Gang Star Sword in his sea of ​​consciousness. He looked at Jiang Yi, whose hair was disheveled and who was still confused, and tried to probe again, unwilling to give up.

Mid-stage Nascent Soul?!
Jiang Yunye looked Jiang Yi up and down in shock. Only then did Jiang Yi's dazed mind slowly recall the memories from before she fell asleep.

"Oh, it's my master."

Jiang Yunye breathed a sigh of relief, let go of her limp hand, and tossed the communication jade slip to her in an annoyed manner.

"Your cheap master surnamed Luo needs to see you urgently."

The jade slip hit Jiang Yi and slid to the ground. Jiang Yi looked at the jade slip slowly and took a long time to react.

My cheap master, surnamed Luo, is... oh, Luo Danqing...

Jiang Yi rubbed her face and shook her head to clear her mind before picking up the jade slip to read it.
