Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 366 The army sets out for battle
The "Blood Slaughter Gang" was somewhat inferior, being a force that was half demonic and half evil.

The Five Elements Master was completely uninterested in them and directly removed the "Blood Slaughter Gang" from his recruitment list. This left the "Blood Slaughter Gang" leader feeling snubbed and forced to leave "Divine Firmament Island" in disgrace.

As for whether the leader of the "Blood Slaughter Gang" chooses to join the "Mingxin Temple" alliance or remain neutral and not participate in the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, that is his own business.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" holds a leading position in the righteous path and has a clear stance.

Buddhism, demonism, and even the demon race are not allies of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and they harbor deep hostility towards the beings in these systems.

The Blood Slaughter Gang is quite powerful, and joining the East China Sea Alliance would certainly be an asset. However, even with such benefits, the Divine Firmament Dao Sect can still exclude them.

The four major forces—"Flying Cloud Sect," "Holy Sound Sect," "Lake Heart Island," and "Azure Sea Palace"—along with the forces formed by some powerful Golden Core Realm experts from "Azure Wave Island" and "Crimson Flame Hall," constitute a powerful alliance.

With so many sects gathered together, they have an overwhelming advantage.

Half a month later, the alliance stabilized, and the proposal to send troops was approved. The first target of the attack was the "Ascetic Sect"!
The Ascetic Sect and the Mingxin Temple have a close relationship and are staunch allies. If the Ascetic Sect is defeated, other sects will have to think twice about the consequences of following the Mingxin Temple down this dark path.

This time, a vast array of forces from all sides sailed out of the port aboard warships.

Li Yunjing was among them!
As for "Shenxiao Island", Fu Lingfeng, the head of "Tiangong Hall", was left to guard the place!
With this powerful figure present, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to launch a sneak attack, they would never return.

As for the Nascent Soul Realm patriarchs of the four forces, namely "Flying Cloud Sect", "Holy Sound Sect", "Lake Heart Island" and "Azure Sea Palace", they all went on the expedition with the Five Elements True Man.

Each of the four major forces sent three Golden Core Realm experts and 300 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Other forces, based on their own strength, dispatched about one-third of their cultivator armies to participate.

The entire "East Sea Alliance" comprises five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, forty-two Golden Core Realm cultivators, 4000 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and 20000 Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

The massive fleet, consisting of dozens of ships, set off towards the "Ascetic Sect".

On the other side, the Ascetic Sect learned that the people of the East Sea Alliance were coming, and immediately notified Zen Master Fazheng. Some sects and families, such as Mingxin Temple and Yuhun Sect, gathered towards the Ascetic Sect to prepare to resist the attack of the East Sea Alliance.

The first major battle broke out in the East China Sea.

The deep ocean is quite dangerous, unlike the calm waters near Shenxiao Island.

Along the way, the fleet often encountered attacks from sea monsters.

Li Yunjing certainly broadened his horizons; all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures appeared one after another, and even the "Divine Firmament Jade Book" did not record them all.

At this moment, the fleet entered the deep sea, and a sea fish appeared below Li Yunjing's "Qingyun Boat" and launched an attack on it.

The enormous sea fish was a full ten zhang in size, with shiny scales, sharp teeth, and an astonishing bite force. If the "Azure Cloud Boat" hadn't been constantly activating its protective shield, it might have been damaged in the underwater attack.

"boom!"

The enormous fish head collided heavily with the ship's side, causing the "Azure Cloud Boat" to sway slightly, while the long, slender silver fish was thrown off course.

The giant fish immediately let out a low growl, swung its body, and spewed out a cloud of black mist that swept towards the "Azure Cloud Boat"!

At that very moment, the entire fleet was attacked by these strange fish!
"Everyone be careful! These are 'silver carp'. They come in large schools and are very troublesome! We must have run into this army of 'silver carp', which is why the conflict broke out!"

When Wen Bin saw that Li Yunjing's "Qingyun Boat" was under attack, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted.

As someone who owns a flying boat, Li Yunjing's ship was naturally within the scope of the conscription.

At this time, in addition to Li Yunjing, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing, the "Qingyun Boat" also carried the Ye family, a cultivation family from the East China Sea.

The Ye family is not very powerful.

Within the family, there is an ancestor at the Golden Core stage, but no other experts.

Now that they've joined the "East China Sea Alliance," the Ye family will naturally have to send troops.

The Ye family has a total of three Foundation Establishment cultivators and one hundred Qi Refining cultivators. All of them are on Li Yunjing's "Azure Cloud Boat" and are under the command of Li Yunjing, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing.

At this moment, many Ye family disciples were startled when they were suddenly attacked by the "Silver Carp" in the cabin.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ye family quickly found Li Yunjing, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing to inquire about the situation.

"It's alright! Tell everyone not to worry! We'll handle this beast!"

After Wen Bin explained, Li Yunjing said dismissively.

These "silver scads" come in all levels. The ones besieging the "Azure Cloud Boat" are all first- and second-tier demonic beasts. There are no third-tier "silver scad kings" attacking them yet.

Without the Demon King, in Li Yunjing's eyes, they were nothing more than ants.

Outside the "Azure Cloud Boat," many "Silver Carp" joined together, opening their mouths and spewing out black mist. The black mist condensed into a ball, completely enveloping the "Azure Cloud Boat."

Li Yunjing and his group only felt that everything around them suddenly went dark, and they could no longer see any other ships.

Moreover, the black mist was quite powerful; even the energy shield on the "Azure Cloud Boat" was eroded by it, emitting a hissing sound. "Interesting! Brother Wen, Fairy Liao, today, I'll treat you all to fish!"

Looking at these demonic beasts, which seemed to lack intelligence and dared to launch an attack on his "Azure Cloud Boat," Li Yunjing couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha! Excellent! With Brother Li's intervention, there's no chance of failure!"

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing offered their compliments.

Li Yunjing is extremely powerful. The two of them were not worried about this expert taking action. In fact, they could learn more about the strength of the true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" through Li Yunjing's methods.

"Photography!"

A flash of black light appeared in Li Yunjing's hand, and a "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" appeared in his hand.

The "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" was thrown by Li Yunjing and flew onto the "Azure Cloud Boat," where it fluttered and rustled.

Suddenly, a suction force was released from the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner," and the black mist immediately surged in under this suction force, and was completely swallowed up by the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner."

"Magic Treasure!"

Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ye family all changed their expressions and became extremely solemn.

"Hmm! I once tricked and killed a Golden Core cultivator of the Demonic Path, and seized two demonic treasures. I've reported them to the sect, so we can use them!"

Li Yunjing explained with a smile.

"A Golden Core cultivator was killed by his underhanded tactics!!!"

Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ye family were dumbfounded. They were all extremely shocked, their mouths agape as they stared blankly at Li Yunjing, as if they didn't recognize him at all.

In the East China Sea, a Foundation Establishment cultivator is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator; they can't defeat a Golden Core cultivator.

No matter what method Li Yunjing uses to kill the other party, it would be an absolutely remarkable feat!

Especially considering that Li Yunjing's cultivation level is only at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

With such low cultivation, it's impossible for Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ye family to kill a Golden Core cultivator!

I thought Li Yunjing was just bragging!

It was only after Li Yunjing's one-on-one fight that he killed the ten disciples of Mingxin Temple that his current statements had a basis, and others could believe that Li Yunjing really had the ability to kill a Golden Core cultivator.

"go with!"

After dispelling the surrounding black mist, Li Yunjing's hand flashed with blood-red light again, and a large seal flew out, crashing into the sea with a "boom".

Instantly, a burst of blood-red light erupted, and a huge second-tier "Silver Carp" was smashed to pieces. Its body was instantly drained, turning into a giant fish skeleton.

The "Blood Demon Seal" swam in the sea, and with another tremor, several first-tier "Silver Carp" were killed in the sea, turning into fish bones.

The "Blood Demon Seal," a demonic treasure crafted for slaughter, is extremely useful in this situation—effortless, highly efficient, and very effective.

Under Li Yunjing's command, the "Blood Demon Seal" accurately located the positions of the "Silver Carp" and killed them one by one.

In just a short while, the sea turned blood red, with the bones of the "silver carp" scattered everywhere.

Li Yunjing still had the strength to use the "Blood Demon Seal" to help other nearby ships kill the "Silver Carp" that were attacking others.

At this moment, faced with Li Yunjing's massacre, the powerful second-tier high-level demonic beasts in the "Silver Carp" also sensed something was wrong. They all changed direction, formed formations, and charged towards the "Azure Cloud Boat".

There were eight schools of fish in total. Looking around, the "Qingyun Boat" was surrounded by "silver carp" in all directions, densely packed together.

"Heh! These foolish monsters!"

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, turned to look at the five fellow cultivators around him, and said, "Take a look at the 'Heavenly Thunder Cannon' on my 'Azure Cloud Boat' and see how powerful this cannon is."

"Great! I'm just about to broaden my horizons!"

Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ye family all nodded in agreement.

The "Azure Cloud Boat" of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" is the pinnacle of flying spiritual artifacts at the Foundation Establishment level. The cultivators of the East Sea have also heard of its great name and are about to use these "Silver Carp" to see just how powerful the "Azure Cloud Boat" really is.

"please!"

As they spoke, Li Yunjing led them back to the cockpit and began operating the "Heavenly Thunder Cannons" on the "Azure Cloud Boat".

The "Sky Thunder Cannon" on the "Azure Cloud Boat" has two on each side of the ship, and one on each of the fore and aft decks, for a total of six "Sky Thunder Cannons".

Normally, Li Yunjing wouldn't activate all of them, but this time, facing an attack from all sides, he had no choice but to use all of the "Heavenly Thunder Cannons".
