Mortal Cultivator: Lin Tianzun

Chapter 126: Gathering! Departure to Jinguyuan
Time flies and years pass without a trace!
The Yue Kingdom's world of immortal cultivation, which had been peaceful for a long time, suddenly changed.

The seven major sects of Yue State - Yanyue Sect, Huangfeng Valley, Lingshou Mountain, Qingxu Sect, Huadaowu, Tianque Fort, and Jujian Sect - received a piece of news that chilled their spines almost at the same time.

The six sects of the Demonic Path actually launched an expansion campaign, wantonly invading the surrounding forces.

The states of Jiang and Chechi had already fallen completely, and the state of Yue, which bordered the state of Jiang, undoubtedly became the next target of possible attack.

At this moment, personnel are being gathered at the border in full swing.

The Hehuan Sect, the Guiling Sect, the Yuling Sect, the Tiansha Sect, the Moyan Sect, and the Qianhuan Sect each sent out only a small number of their elite troops, but they had already plunged the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world into a tense atmosphere.

At the same time, the actions of the Righteous Alliance were equally shocking.

As if they had discussed it in advance, they launched invasions on neighboring countries one after another.

For a time, the entire Tiannan region was filled with smoke and war was on the verge of breaking out.

The Yue Kingdom's cultivation world is at the center of this storm and is the first to be hit.

The seven major sects that usually get along well with each other are now all on edge.

At this critical moment when the situation was tense and imminent, the Yuanying stage cultivators from the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom acted quickly and gathered together urgently to discuss countermeasures.

After a heated discussion, everyone weighed the pros and cons and finally reached a consensus. They decided to put aside their previous prejudices against each other and work together to form a temporary alliance to resist the invasion of the demons.

Soon, the news of the alliance's establishment spread throughout the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world.

Nearly hundreds of thousands of cultivators under the seven major sects quickly entered a state of combat readiness under the unified command of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the seven sects.

These monks will obey the unified commands of the alliance and be ready to fight at any time.

These Nascent Soul stage warriors, relying on their rich experience and formidable strength, arranged various tasks in an orderly manner, from material allocation and defense line deployment to intelligence collection and strategic planning, taking care of every detail.

The Jindan stage cultivators from various sects became the backbone of this war.

They shoulder the important task of commanding the lower-level cultivators and accurately convey the orders given by the Nascent Soul cultivators.

At the same time, they are also the main fighting force of this war, because the Nascent Soul cultivators cannot take action. This is the agreement reached between the Nascent Soul cultivators of the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom and the six sects of the Demonic Path.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the two sides had fought before, and the Yue Kingdom was defeated by the Six Demonic Sects.

For a time, the entire Yue Kingdom's cultivation world was like a war machine with a tightly wound spring, running at full speed.

The low-level monks all knew that the war was about to come, and life and death were unpredictable. If they were not careful, their lives would be in danger, so no one dared to slack off and raced against time to prepare for the upcoming war.

In the market town, low-level monks with hurried looks can be seen everywhere.

They walked in groups of two or three, moving quickly between the stalls.

Some monks looked anxious as they carefully selected various healing and energy-replenishing elixirs in front of the medicine shop, wishing they could pocket all the stock in the shop, as if these elixirs were their life-saving straws on the battlefield.

Some of them stood in front of the talisman stalls, gently rubbing their fingers over the talismans that were sparkling with spiritual light, carefully screening them, just to select the most powerful and practical ones, knowing that a good talisman might be able to turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.

Others would repeatedly compare and weigh options in the magic weapon shop, trying to find a magic weapon that would match their own skills and could exert the greatest power on the battlefield, hoping that this magic weapon could become a reliable support for them when they are on the verge of life and death.

With the sharp increase in purchasing demand, various resources in the market suddenly became in short supply, and prices soared like a rocket.

The price of the originally affordable healing pills increased several times, which shocked many cultivators.

The prices of ordinary defensive talismans also soared by several times or even more, making the monks say that they could not afford it.

Those magical instruments that are slightly famous are even sold at sky-high prices. Even so, they are still in short supply, and many cultivators can only sigh in despair.

But even if prices soar, low-level cultivators don't care about spending spirit stones.

They gritted their teeth, emptied their pockets, and purchased as many supplies as possible.

After all, in this cruel battlefield of cultivating immortals, more resources means more hope of survival. At this time, deep in the Yellow Maple Valley, the atmosphere in Linghu Patriarch's cave was solemn and depressing.

Lin Fan was in the middle of it, participating in an important meeting that concerned the life and death of the sect.

In the cave, the candlelight flickered, and the dim light reflected the serious and solemn faces of everyone.

Several Jindan stage cultivators from Huangfeng Valley gathered together, including Lei Wanhe, Li Huayuan, Hong Fo, Huang Tianhua and others.

When these people saw Lin Fan's cultivation level at the late Jindan stage, they all looked as if they had seen a ghost, and their hearts were filled with shock and envy.

Only a few decades had passed, and Lin Fan had advanced from the early stage of the Jindan period to the late stage of the Jindan period. Such an astonishing speed of cultivation made them feel that all their years of cultivation had been wasted, as if they had lived like dogs.

……

It is worth noting that Chen Minghui is also among them.

But he is very different now. His hair has become gray and thin, as if the years have ruthlessly drained away his vitality. His face is covered with wrinkles, his back is hunched, and he looks exhausted, as if his life is coming to an end.

Elder Linghu sat upright in the main seat, his expression solemn. He scanned the crowd with his piercing gaze and slowly spoke, "I'm sure some of you have already received the news. The six sects of the Demonic Path are coming with such force that they're openly planning to invade our Yue Kingdom."

The current situation is extremely serious and we cannot afford to slack off in the slightest.

He paused slightly, his tone becoming heavier, "This time, you all need to go to the front lines and fight to the death to resist the demonic path."

If we can't hold on and let the demons break through the defense line, the entire Yue Kingdom's cultivation world will be reduced to ashes and there will be no place to stand!
At this point, Elder Linghu turned his gaze towards Lin Fan, Hong Fo, and Lei Wanhe, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Fan, Hong Fo, Lei Wanhe, the three of you will immediately select some elite disciples and rush to the front lines."

It is imperative to stabilize the situation and buy time for subsequent defensive deployment!

"Yes!" The three answered in unison. Their voices were loud and firm, echoing in the cave for a long time like a huge bell, demonstrating their determination.

After receiving the order, the three of them rushed to the meeting hall without stopping.

The head monk, Zhong Lingdao, had already gathered all the cultivators in the foundation-building stage here. The atmosphere in the hall was depressing and gloomy. Everyone was whispering to each other, looking uneasy.

In the square, the disciples in the Qi training stage lined up in an orderly manner, their eyes showing both nervousness and curiosity about the unknown.

Lin Fan, Hong Fo, and Lei Wanhe strode into the hall. Their auras were cold and stern, as if they carried an invisible majesty, which instantly made the hall quiet.

Red Buddha glanced around and then said loudly, "Everyone, the six sects of the Demonic Path have invaded Yue State, and war is imminent! Now, we need to select personnel to go to the front line to deploy defenses."

After saying this, the spiritual power in his hands condensed and turned into light spots that circled above everyone's heads. The cultivators touched by the light spots were the candidates for this expedition, and all of them stood out.

The light spots flickered, and soon one hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators were selected.

Those who were not chosen breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on their faces, and quietly took a few steps back, as if they were afraid of being chosen again.

Some of those who were selected had solemn expressions, clenched fists, and their knuckles turned white, showing their inner tension.

Some took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but their eyes still showed tension and anxiety.

Afterwards, they went to the square to select disciples in the Qi training stage.

In the same way, three thousand Qi training disciples were "picked" by the light spots.

Those who were not selected secretly rejoiced and slightly relaxed their tense bodies.

Many of those who were selected had a flash of panic on their faces, but they quickly straightened their backs, tried to make themselves look calm, and tried to stay composed in this tense atmosphere.

"Let's go!" Red Buddha gave an order, his voice cutting through the sky, full of majesty and power.

The selected disciples quickly formed a team and followed Lin Fan and others in an orderly manner, heading towards Jinguyuan to meet the unknown and cruel battle.
