Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 605 A Grandiose Appearance, Strike While the Sick (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The power of this "ancient bronze bell" surpasses that of many magical treasures. However, due to his low cultivation level and limited time for refining it, Li Yunjing was unable to unleash its true power.

At this moment, the "Ancient Bronze Bell" fell into the hands of the Five Elements True Man, and immediately underwent earth-shattering changes.

"How could this be?"

The Netherworld Ancestor's face turned ashen, and he turned to flee.

The other surviving demonic cultivators fled the place at almost the same time as the Netherworld Ancestor.

When demonic cultivators are winning, they are more ruthless than anyone else, able to unleash twelve times their full combat power. However, when they encounter trouble, they only care about themselves and turn into a disorganized mess.

The root cause of this situation is the selfishness and self-interest of demonic cultivators!
The vast majority of demonic cultivators only have themselves in their hearts, no outsiders, no sect, no family, and not even parents, wives and children!

When danger strikes, it's common for people to scatter in panic.

Having clashed many times with demonic cultivators, the members of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" naturally became aware of this characteristic of theirs.

The demonic cultivators gathered together, relying on the martial prowess of the Netherworld Ancestor and the promised benefits after their victory.

Now that the Netherworld Ancestor has been defeated, the others naturally have lost their backbone.

Seeing that they couldn't defeat the "East China Sea Alliance," the promised benefits became nothing but empty promises, and no one was willing to risk their lives to fight the "East China Sea Alliance."

Seeing the demonic cultivators retreat, the people of the "East Sea Alliance" did not pursue them. Instead, they immediately began to tighten their defenses, repair the formations, set up restrictions, and clean up the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Tianluo Dao Sect also discovered that the Demonic Alliance had been defeated.

"Move into the ambush site! Eliminate the demonic cultivators!"

The Tianluo Sect Master issued the order.

"This……"

The other forty-five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were all startled. Was this a prelude to attacking their allies?
"Isn't this a bad idea? Aren't they allies?"

A kind-hearted elder spoke up.

"Humph!"

The Tianluo Sect Master glared at the man with great displeasure and sneered, "Allies? When did we form an alliance with them?"

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, the other senior executives exchanged bewildered glances.

"The 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' has colluded with evil forces and sacrificed countless lives! This is truly an act of calamity to the world!"

The Tianluo Sect Master coldly stated, "My Tianluo Dao Sect upholds the will of the immortals, slaying demons and protecting the mortal realm! How can such a wicked being allowed to live?"

Xuan Tianji, the sect leader of Tianluo Sect, stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the forty-five Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall. He noticed that everyone had different expressions, some hesitant, and others thoughtful.

"Don't forget your stance! How could my Xuanmen sect possibly associate with the Demonic Sect?"

His lips curled slightly, but his tone suddenly turned serious.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

Several senior elders' eyes sharpened, clearly their desire to slay demons and monsters had been aroused.

"But aren't we giving the 'East Sea Alliance' an opportunity by attacking the Demonic Sect?"

The kind-hearted elder was still somewhat hesitant.

"Please look, everyone, this is what the 'Ancestor of the Underworld' has done!"

The Tianluo Sect Master sneered, and with a flick of his sleeve, a water mirror appeared, reflecting the scene of demonic cultivators slaughtering mortals and sacrificing lives.

In the mirror, countless mortals wailed as their flesh and blood were devoured by demonic cultivators, and their souls were refined into the Myriad Soul Banner.

The faces of the people inside the hall were grim, and some even clenched their fists.

"The Demonic Sect is in a weakened state after its defeat. If we do not take this opportunity to eliminate it, it will surely become a great threat in the future!"

The Tianluo Sect Master shouted again.

"What the sect leader says is absolutely right!"

Elder Xuanming was the first to step forward and said sternly, "We must eradicate evil completely. Why bother with morality? Demonic cultivators deserve to die!"

"Not bad!"

Another Grand Elder at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage nodded in agreement, "If we can annihilate the main force of the Demonic Sect in one fell swoop this time, it will not only deter other demonic forces, but also make the reputation of our 'Tianluo Dao Sect' even greater!"

The crowd began to discuss the matter, and soon their initial hesitation was replaced by ambition and hatred.

"Then execute the order!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, the Tianluo Sect Master's eyes flashed with calculation as he said in a deep voice, "Remember, leave no survivors in this battle!"

After the previous battle with the "East China Sea Alliance," the idea of ​​a quick victory was no longer in mind.

Someone must pay for the losses of the "Tianluo Dao Sect"!

The mere "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce" is not enough. Only by annihilating the "Demon Sect Alliance," occupying the Demon Sect's dojos, and seizing spiritual veins can the "Heavenly Luo Dao Sect" be restored to its peak power, or even go further.

These high-sounding words are just a means to seize profits!
"Yes!"

The forty-five Nascent Soul cultivators responded in unison, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

Half an hour later, the escape route of the Demonic Sect had been completely blocked by the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

The Netherworld Ancestor was severely injured and was leading his remaining forces in retreat when suddenly, the void in front of him distorted, and countless golden runes appeared, transforming into a "net of heaven and earth"!
"Oh no! It's an ambush!"

The Netherworld Ancestor's expression changed drastically.

However, it's too late.

"Old ghost of the underworld, today is your death day!"

Above the sky, the Tianluo Sect Master stood in the air, with forty-five Nascent Soul cultivators behind him forming a great formation, their killing intent overwhelming!
"Form the 'Heavenly Net Formation'! Don't let a single demon bastard escape!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Xuan Tianji, the sect leader of Tianluo Sect, unleashed forty-five streams of light, instantly creating a net of heaven and earth along the inevitable path of the fleeing demonic cultivators.

He made a hand seal with his fingertips, and the clouds within a hundred miles suddenly turned blood red, with countless golden talismans appearing and disappearing in the void.

Behind the forty-five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was the main fleet of the "Tianluo Dao Sect." Otherwise, if the "Tianluo Dao Sect" were to clear out the fleeing demonic cultivators, it could be said that once they made a move, it would be earth-shattering and completely eliminate the demonic cultivators of the East Sea!
The Netherworld Ancestor had only rushed ten miles when he suddenly crashed into an invisible barrier.

His expression changed drastically, and his withered hand slapped the air, revealing a dense array of rune chains as the ripples spread out.

It is the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect's" ultimate formation, the "Heavenly Net Earth Net Formation"!
"Xuan Tianji! How dare you resort to underhanded tactics!"

Before the Netherworld Ancestor's fierce roar had even subsided, a continuous stream of screams echoed from behind him.

The fleeing demonic cultivators crashed into the array traps one after another. Some were burned to charcoal by the golden flames that appeared out of nowhere, while others were reduced to ashes by the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who suddenly emerged.

"It's over! It's completely over!"

The Blood Demon King unleashed his natal magic weapon to defend himself, but was struck by three divine beams of light that descended from the sky, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward.

Xuan Tianji arrived in mid-air, stepping on the Seven Star Step, with seven layers of precious light appearing behind his head.

His right hand was held out with fingers like a sword, while his left hand held a delicate little pagoda. His voice was gentle and warm: "Fellow Daoist of the Netherworld, the fate of the demonic path has run its course. Why don't I send you to your reincarnation through physical liberation?"

"fart!"

The Netherworld Ancestor suddenly tore open his robe, revealing his chest covered in demonic patterns.

He bit his tongue and spat out his essence blood. Nine streams of black energy surged from his seven orifices, condensing into a fluttering "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" in front of him.

The banner was covered with countless distorted human faces that emitted mournful howls. It was his natal magic weapon, the "Nine Netherworld Myriad Souls Banner," which he had refined for eight hundred years.

The two exchanged blows with lightning speed.

As the Netherworld Ancestor waved his banner, ghosts howled and wolves howled, but Xuan Tianji always wore a smile.

As the "Nine Netherworld Soul Banner" descended with overwhelming black energy, Xuan Tianji suddenly summoned the small pagoda in his left hand.

The tower grew taller with the wind, transforming in an instant into a seven-story pagoda a hundred feet high, with the four ancient seal characters "Xuantian Zhenmo" radiating golden light on its body.

"what……"

The Netherworld Ancestor let out a miserable cry, and the demonic face on the "Nine Netherworld Soul Banner" was melted by the golden light.

Just as he was about to recall the magic weapon, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.

Looking down, a blood-red knife tip was already protruding from his chest!

It is the "Ghost Blade," the sect's signature weapon of the "Tianluo Dao Sect."

The "Ghost Blade" strikes silently, much like another weapon of the Xuanmen sect, the "Invisible Sword."

The Netherworld Ancestor was originally far more powerful than Xuan Tianji and possessed powerful magic treasures. However, he was severely injured by the Five Elements True Man in a great battle. During his escape, he was attacked by the "Heavenly Net and Earthly Net Formation," which further aggravated his injuries.

At this moment, he was naturally suppressed by Xuan Tianji!
As the sect leader of a sect, how could Xuan Tianji not have a lot of good stuff?
Each one of them is an earth-shattering magical treasure!

The fact that the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" was not even used shows how profound Xuan Tianji's knowledge is!
"What a pity for such a fine banner."

Xuan Tianji's voice sighed softly in the ear of the Netherworld Ancestor.

With a tremor, the Netherworld Ancestor's physical body exploded.

Just as a streak of black light was about to escape, it was enveloped by the golden light emanating from the pagoda and struggled to be sucked into it. In the distance, the battlefield had become a hellish scene.

Blood Demon was surrounded by three Nascent Soul cultivators, and his left arm was severed at the shoulder.

He grinned maliciously as he crushed the blood droplet in his hand: "Since we're going to die, let's take a few of them down with us!"

The raging Nascent Soul self-destructed, leveling the area within a three-mile radius. However, the experts of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" were prepared and raised a joint shield, causing only two people to cough up blood.

As for the leader of the "Yin Shi Sect," he didn't have a good ending either.

Ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators attacked simultaneously, blasting him apart in mid-air, leaving not even his Nascent Soul intact.

"Close the net."

Seeing that the situation was settled, Xuan Tianji calmly gave the order.

The array shone with golden light, and the three or four thousand surviving demonic cultivators were trapped in amber.

Their magical artifacts and spells struck the light barrier, but failed to even create a ripple.

Some knelt down and begged for mercy, some cursed loudly, and some even went so far as to self-destruct their golden cores...

But all of this is like an ant trying to shake a tree within the "Heavenly Net Formation".

As the last demonic cultivator was shredded by the sword light, Xuan Tianji suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of "Azure Sea Palace".

The "Tianluo Dao Sect" and the "Demon Gate Alliance" have launched a terrifying war. The people of the "East Sea Alliance" are naturally aware of this. They sent experts to enter the area within two hundred miles to observe the situation with their divine sense.

At that moment, sensing Xuan Tianji's gaze, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the "East Sea Alliance" returned to the "Azure Sea Palace" without any hesitation to report the results they had witnessed to the others.

"Sect Master, the elite of the Demonic Sect has been wiped out, but a few Golden Core cultivators escaped..."

The elder stepped forward to report.

"It doesn't matter."

Xuan Tianji stroked the Netherworld Ancestor's "storage ring" and smiled slightly: "Pass down the order that my 'Tianluo Dao Sect' is dedicated to eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path. We are willing to fight against the Demonic Sect's betrayal and ultimately annihilate their main force!"

He gazed in the direction of the "East Sea Alliance," a glint of greed in his eyes. "Next, it's time to meet that Five Elements Master."

"problem occurs!"

The Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, riding a beam of light, rushed into the main hall of the Azure Sea Palace, his voice urgent: "The Heavenly Net Dao Sect has wiped out the main force of the Demonic Sect, but has suddenly withdrawn its troops. The entire sect's fleet has already entered the Sacred Sound Sea Area, and is only eight hundred miles away from my Azure Sea Palace!"

"Didn't the Demonic Sect ally with the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'?"

Why did you suddenly turn on me?

"What is the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' up to now?"

"What do we do now?"

……

Inside the hall, all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and special Golden Core Realm cultivators like Li Yunjing were in an uproar!
There's nothing strange about this.

The Five Elements True Man sat upright in the main seat, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said softly, "'Tianluo Dao Sect' is a major sect of the Xuanmen, and there is absolutely no possibility that it will ally with the Demonic Sect!"

"The previous collaboration was a tacit agreement between the two parties."

"They just turned against us because they saw that the Demonic Sect had been severely damaged for us and saw that there was an advantage to be gained, so they took action and destroyed the 'Demonic Sect Alliance'!"

After hearing the explanation from the Five Elements Master, everyone finally understood.

Inside the council hall of the "Azure Sea Palace," the atmosphere was heavy. The destruction of the Demonic Sect was certainly a good thing, but the overwhelming power of the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect" was still shocking.

Having fought two consecutive major battles against the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and the "Demon Gate Alliance" respectively, the "East Sea Alliance" has a deep understanding of the strength of these two forces.

Now, a great enemy has just appeared and disappeared.

In such a situation, no one would feel good.

No one knows when the second decisive battle of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" will arrive, or whether they will be able to withstand it.

"The Tianluo Dao Sect has come with ill intentions!"

The middle-aged master in brocade robes, the Palace Master of the Azure Sea, said angrily, "Their plan to destroy the Demon Sect is a pretense; their real intention is to take the opportunity to annex my Eastern Sea! I estimate that they will soon send people into the Nether Sea to plunder the Demon Sect's dojos and confiscate their resources."

"Palace Master, please calm down!"

Nine Nether True Man leaned on his dragon-headed cane and said slowly, "'Tianluo Dao Sect' has also experienced two major battles and suffered heavy losses. It is not something that can be done overnight if they want to annex the territory of the Demonic Sect to replenish themselves! This gives us enough time."

"Not bad!"

A burly body cultivator sneered, "We can take this opportunity to repair our defenses, rearrange the restrictions and formations, repair our warships, and refine talismans and weapons."

"Yes! This is definitely a good thing for us!"

After pondering for a moment, Master Lei Ze also voiced his concerns, "Won't our improvement be less compared to that of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'?"

"This……"

Master Lei Ze's words silenced all the high-ranking members of the hall.

The "Demon Alliance" involves five major sects, as well as many families and smaller sects. It possesses as many as six fourth-order spiritual veins, and the number of other spiritual veins, magical treasures, talismans, and pills is unknown.

If the "Tianluo Dao Sect" gains these benefits, regroups, and attacks again, can they still hold out?
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the hall became incredibly heavy.

The Five Elements Master coughed lightly, his voice not loud, but it drew everyone's attention to him.

"Everyone!"

His gaze swept over the crowd. "You are not without backers! My 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' also needs time. If we can delay until the battle across the 'Mountain Range' is under control, my sect can mobilize a large number of experts to come and help you..."

The Five Elements Master has started making empty promises!

Li Yunjing listened from below and nodded secretly. There was no other way at the moment but to stall for time.

If things are settled on the other side of the "Mountain Crossing" side, then everything will be fine. If not, then we can't control these fellow Daoists from the "Eastern Sea Alliance".

Perhaps the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" would benefit more from a complete defeat?

A thought suddenly popped into Li Yunjing's mind.

After all, with the fall of the East Sea, many people present lost their foundation. What other option did they have but to seek refuge in the "Great Ming Immortal Cultivation World"?

Once you go to the "Great Ming Immortal Cultivation World", you will naturally have to rely on the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" for a living. It wouldn't be unreasonable to at least serve as a guest elder or a patron.
In this way, perhaps the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" could be said to have ten Nascent Soul Realm True Persons and hundreds of Golden Core Realm cultivators.

"Never mind! Let's talk about it later!"

Li Yunjing quickly banished this wicked thought from his mind.

This is not the mindset of an ally!

……

Just as the "East China Sea Alliance" was holding a high-level meeting, on the "Holy Sound Sea" side, the "Tianluo Dao Sect" once again completed its post-war regrouping.

The giant ship of the "Tianluo Daozong" lay across the sea, its banners fluttering, and the two characters "Xuantian" on the bow gleamed brightly.

At this moment, Xuan Tianji stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the ship, with forty-five Nascent Soul cultivators standing behind him, their aura overwhelming.

"Sect Master, why not just attack 'Azure Sea Palace' directly?"

The elder in charge of law enforcement asked in a low voice.

"The East Sea Alliance still has its main force intact, and there are quite a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators among them."

Xuan Tianji's gaze was profound as he said calmly, "A direct confrontation would be too costly. From now on, we'll fight them slowly! We'll focus on small-scale, localized battles, seizing opportunities to eliminate the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realm leaders of the 'Eastern Sea Alliance'!"

"I will obey the sect master's decree!"

Everyone responded in unison.

At the same time, they all felt a sense of relief.

Everyone immediately agreed with Xuan Tianji's decision.

why?
The previous battle was so fierce that they were afraid!

If they were caught in the grand formation of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" or attacked by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, few of them present would dare to guarantee their survival!
In the previous battle, seven or eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and its affiliated forces had died.

People cultivate mainly for longevity, and they are very willing to participate in wars where the many bully the few, or the strong bully the weak. However, few people are willing to participate in battles of equal strength.

Look at how many years the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has been fighting with other sects in the "Hengyue Mountain Range"?

For hundreds of years, there have been constant battles between the two sides, but wars at the Nascent Soul Realm level only break out once every three to five years, and even then, it usually involves only three or four people fighting each other.

Where else can you find a battle as fierce as the one between the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and the "East Sea Alliance"?
Are those behemoth sects like "Shenxiao Daozong", "Youming Guizong", "Mingxin Temple", and "Yuanyang Daozong" really without any real strength?

it's not true!

These sects may not be as powerful as the "Tianluo Dao Sect", but they are all at the same level.

It's quite easy for each sect to mobilize dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The reason why everyone hasn't fought so fiercely is mainly because the higher-ups aren't willing to risk their lives!
