Chapter 448: Please Grant Me Your Guidance, ※39⛬

Elder Heavenly Craft said, "It's already prepared!"

Wang Mu nodded and said, "Dispatch them immediately to the places in the Northern Region that haven't been captured yet. Transfer all living beings from those places to the Northern Sea! Regardless of their cultivation level, as long as there are people, there is a continuous stream of hope. Transfer as many as possible!

This way, with our Northern Dark Holy Land's Formation, we can preserve more combat power!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. "Transfer all of them to the Northern Sea? This… where are there so many islands in the Northern Sea?"

Wang Mu said calmly, "I've had people survey it. Beneath the Northern Sea, there are vast stretches of land and mountains. So… everyone might have to work hard during this period, using great Divine Abilities to raise the land from the seabed and fill the sea to create land!

Given the vastness of the Northern Sea, this won't be a problem. At most, it will be a bit crowded, but in these extraordinary times, there's no other way."

"Even so, then… the Spiritual Qi won't be enough! With so many living beings gathered in one place, I'm afraid our cultivation speed will drastically decrease!"

Wang Mu nodded and said, "That is the second thing I wanted to mention. Elder Tianyuan, look at this!"

As he spoke, he took out a Formation map and handed it to Elder Tianyuan. "This is an ancient Formation I obtained by chance, called the Vast Sea Spirit-Evolving Formation. Over billions of years, the Northern Sea has accumulated a majestic amount of Spiritual Qi in its waters. With this Formation, we can extract all the Spiritual Qi from the seawater and make it our own!"

Elder Tianyuan was stunned, staring blankly at the Formation map. "It's truly exquisite, but… wouldn't doing this be like draining the pond to catch the fish?"

According to what Wang Mu said.

Once this was done.

For countless years to come, the Spiritual Qi within the entire Northern Sea region would be greatly weakened.

Even the Spiritual Veins would dry up.

"We're at such a point already. If we don't protect the present, what future will there be?" Wang Mu said. "In other words, even if we can't hold it, let's not leave anything good for them!"

Hearing this, Elder Tianyuan immediately stopped speaking and lowered his head to study the Formation.

The usually reticent Elder Tianwu spoke up: "I have a question. Gathering our forces in one place certainly makes our defense simpler, but if the enemy attacks the Northern Sea with all their might, how long can we hold out?"

The sect-protecting Formation of the Northern Dark Holy Land was indeed powerful.

But the opponents they faced now were several times their own number.

Each of them had a foundation no weaker than that of Northern Dark.

If they couldn't hold out, everything Wang Mu said before would be meaningless.

Wang Mu looked at him and said, "We can hold it!"

After he finished speaking.

Elder Tianwu's brow furrowed, and he was about to say something.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted slightly, and an incredulous light appeared in his eyes, but it quickly faded as if nothing had happened.

He simply nodded and said, "I understand."

Nearby.

Many people looked bewildered.

Only a few, like Tiandan and Tianyuan, had incredibly complex expressions in their eyes… Over the next three months.

Everything proceeded according to Wang Mu's arrangements.

Unprecedentedly massive Void Trains traversed the endless Void Realm at extremely high speeds. Their internal space was vast, easily capable of holding Cultivators from several cities.

They traveled back and forth between various parts of the Northern Region and the Northern Sea.

Bringing back a large number of Cultivators.

At the same time.

Luo Xuanshuang, along with many Elders of the Northern Dark Holy Land who were at the Undergoing Tribulation stage, and many experts of the Wang Family, acted together to forcibly raise vast stretches of land from beneath the Northern Sea by ten thousand feet, creating a vast and expansive continent.

Surprisingly.

The Sea Yao Race, which originally lived on the seabed, did not voice any opposition to this.

It was as if they had completely vanished.

Making it impossible to feel their presence at all… In a certain part of the Void Realm, several ancient and powerful thoughts were communicating.

"Recently, the number of Blood Sacrifices has been decreasing!"

"The Wang Family has used great means to gather all living beings from various places in the Northern Sea. Right now… except for the Northern Sea region, the entire Northern Region is almost empty!"

"To offer this realm's Luck to the Holy God, we must collect the Three Qis of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Currently, both the Earth Qi and Human Qi are still a bit short…"

"Beneath the Northern Sea lies an ancient earth vein that accounts for at least one-fifth of the Cangyuan Realm's Earth Qi! As long as we break through the Northern Sea, it will be enough…"

"Not only that, those humans who possess the Heavenly Dao Luck of this realm also have countless ties to the Northern Sea…"

"Once the Northern Sea is broken, only the Eastern Region will remain!"

"The Heavenly Dao of this realm has placed all its hope on the Human Race. That group of Yao Race is not to be feared! The Holy God's return is just around the corner!"

"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's act!"

"…"

…Absolute Beginning Holy Land.

Tens of thousands of Disciples stood in neat Formation in the Void Realm.

Sect Leader Ling Xiaozi sat high above the clouds, his expression indifferent. He waved his hand and said, "Disciples of Absolute Beginning, follow me to war and launch the general offensive on Northern Dark!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In an instant.

Killing intent rose from all directions between heaven and earth.

Like a sharp sword.

Pointing far towards the north.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Reporting to the Holy Lord, the Saint has disappeared!"

Ling Xiaozi's brow furrowed as he looked towards the Void Realm. "What happened?"

Jiang Baiyi appeared and said slowly, "I'll go take a look."

…Yingchuan City.

It was no longer the prosperous city it once was.

It was covered in scars, with corpses strewn everywhere.

Ye Mo walked down the street, looking at everything before him, his expression moved.

"Mo'er."

A voice appeared behind him.

Ye Mo was not surprised and did not turn around. Instead, he said to himself, "The people of Yingchuan City have worshipped the Absolute Beginning Holy Land for generations, viewing the people of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land as gods. Who would have thought that it would end like this?"

Jiang Baiyi said, "It seems you still haven't figured it out."

Ye Mo was silent for a moment before asking, "Master, what exactly is the purpose of cultivation?"

Jiang Baiyi said, "Naturally, it is for longevity!"

Ye Mo said, "And besides longevity?"

Jiang Baiyi said, "Nothing else."

Ye Mo suddenly sneered. "Then how is that different from a beast?"

Hearing these disrespectful words, there was no trace of anger on Jiang Baiyi's face. "If what you want to express is that practitioners are not human, then you are correct. From the day you and I stepped onto the path of cultivation, we were no longer the same kind of beings as Mortals!

The emotions, desires, births, aging, illnesses, and deaths of Mortals have nothing to do with us.

What we want to become are Immortals!"

Hearing this, Ye Mo whispered, "Then these Immortals are inevitably filthy and foul-smelling! Master, I no longer want to achieve Immortal Ascension!"

Jiang Baiyi did not speak.

Ye Mo slowly turned around, staring at him, and said word by word, "I still want to be a human."

Jiang Baiyi sighed and said, "It seems you've made up your mind?"

Ye Mo said, "I can never repay the kindness of your teachings, Master. Leaving today, I should have crippled the Divine Abilities and Cultivation Techniques you taught me, but unfortunately, I still have some things I must do! So, I'm sorry, Master. Please forgive your Disciple's lack of filial piety."

Jiang Baiyi said, "I won't just let you pass."

Ye Mo nodded. Then, an unprecedentedly powerful aura erupted from his body, and the flames of battle burned in his eyes. "Please grant me your guidance, Master!"
