Chapter 1131: Rescuing All Living Beings

Main Text

The news came from Heavenly Delicacies Restaurant.

Many of their people stationed in Golden Crow Immortal City had their soul tablets shatter simultaneously. The two Nascent Soul cultivators, Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Chef, personally performed a secret art to retrieve the last message left by the person in charge.

The Divine Tree is broken, the Immortal City has fallen, and Flood Dragons fill the sky!

Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Chef naturally notified the Four Great Sacred Lands of the Eastern Lands immediately.

By the time Chen Mobai received the news, it was already quite late.

This was because many merchant guilds and disciples from the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect, Dao Sect, and Grand Void Misty Palace, who were in Golden Crow Immortal City, also perished when the city fell.

In contrast, the Five Elements Sect, due to historical conflicts with Sunken Sun Sea, had not sent anyone to Golden Crow Immortal City since the establishment of the large teleportation array in Bright Mirror Immortal City.

However, the three great Sacred Lands still had their capabilities. Even after the Tier-5 grand array of Golden Crow Immortal City was breached, they still managed to organize tenacious resistance. The top cultivators fought their way out through the encirclement of countless demonic beasts, with some even escaping to the territory of the Eastern Yi Five Elements Sect.

"Didn't many factions in Golden Crow Immortal City have private teleportation arrays? Why didn't they use them to escape?"

Chen Mobai, upon arriving at North Abyss City and hearing O Yun's report, suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but ask. O Yun immediately looked at Shen Shanqing, who was beside him.

"Reporting, True Monarch, the reason Golden Crow Immortal City fell this time is because the Tier-5 magical array failed. The reason for its failure is that someone broke the Sun Divine Tree, which was the core of the grand array."

"And the spiritual vein where the Sun Divine Tree was rooted affects the entire Eastern Yi coastline. Without something to suppress it, it could cause violent fluctuations, even earthquakes, along the coastal land."

"Teleportation arrays can only function by relying on spiritual veins. Under such circumstances, they would have been unusable."

Although Shen Shanqing had been obsessed with real estate speculation in recent years, he was still responsible for the intelligence operations of Heavenly Delicacies Restaurant in North Abyss City. After all, he had a good relationship with Chen Mobai, and Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Chef also highly valued him. In this sudden emergency, he displayed his professionalism as an intelligence operative and provided the answer.

"The Sun Divine Tree was broken? Who did this!"

Hearing this, Chen Mobai's expression turned to anger.

Although the Sun Divine Tree was no longer as crucial to him now that he had achieved Spirit Transformation, this peak Tier-5 spiritual plant was a treasure of the Eastern Continent, and the only one of its kind in the entire Heavenly River Realm, making it incredibly precious.

Its breakage now filled Chen Mobai, who hailed from the Immortal Gate, with both heartache and fury!

This was a unique item!

"It could only be the Sunken Sun Sea's doing. After all, the Sun Divine Tree was in their hands, and only they could freely enter and exit the surrounding restrictions. To accomplish this, it must have been a long-term scheme. Old Ancestor Bai Wu disappeared without a trace after the city fell, making him the prime suspect."

Shen Shanqing stated the conclusion reached by Heavenly Delicacies Restaurant after integrating various intelligence reports.

The Sun Divine Tree vanished after being broken, clearly indicating someone had collected it. For such a rare treasure of heaven and earth, a specially made storage bag would be required to contain it.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai also concluded that Old Ancestor Bai Wu was responsible.

However, he truly hadn't imagined that someone could be so selfish. To abandon an entire sect, its disciples, and its influence, privatize the powerful heritage passed down by the Heaven-Burning Pure Land, and even collude with demon-kind and other races, disregarding the survival of humanity—it was unfathomable.

The fact that the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court could immediately lead their Black Sea demon army ashore to breach the city after the grand array failed certainly couldn't be a coincidence.

While Chen Mobai knew that the local people were often selfish and unfeeling, he had never before seen someone as blinded by greed as Old Ancestor Bai Wu.

Had he known this, he would have killed Old Ancestor Bai Wu back then, even if it meant damaging his reputation.

Although the current situation was a major benefit for the Five Elements Sect, signifying that the three frontier regions of the Eastern Barrens would fall completely under his control, the inhabitants of Eastern Yi, especially the humans within the Sunken Sun Sea's territory, would likely suffer immense hardship.

A trace of pity arose in Chen Mobai's heart.

"Issue orders!"

After analyzing the entire situation, Chen Mobai immediately understood that the top priority was to rescue the suffering humans of Eastern Yi, and he promptly issued his highest directives.

"The spiritual core of Golden Crow Immortal City has been destroyed, which will cause unavoidable natural disasters and earthquakes for the populace. Instruct Zhou Ye to lead the Eastern Yi Five Elements Sect disciples to the border to bring the affected humans to the rear for proper resettlement. At the same time, prevent the Black Sea demonic beasts from rampaging through Eastern Yi, ensuring those vile creatures are confined to the Sunken Sun Sea's territory."

"Many righteous cultivators must have escaped from Golden Crow Immortal City. Entrust this matter to Senior Brother Fu Zongjue; have him lead a group of elite disciples to rendezvous and rescue as many as possible."

"The Eastern Lands will not stand idly by in this matter. A large army of cultivators is likely to arrive soon via our sect's large teleportation array in Bright Mirror Immortal City. Senior Brother Zhou Shengqing attended True Monarch Shen Xi's Spirit Transformation banquet at the Dao Sect and knows many Eastern Lands cultivators. Have him preside there and be responsible for coordination."

"Regarding warfare, Senior Brother Mo Douguang is quite skilled. Convey my order for him to hand over his current duties to Zhou Wangshen and proceed to the Eastern Yi battlefield frontline to serve as overall commander."

"For the Eastern Barrens headquarters, conscript one hundred thousand disciples. Have Elder Yin Qingmei lead them, with Duan Shuyu as deputy, and send them to the front lines in batches."

"Furthermore, instruct the affiliated factions—the various great families of Eastern Wu and the sects of Eastern Yi—to send one-tenth of their personnel as aid. This matter will be overseen by Elder Su Zilu, with Chu Zuoshu assisting."

"Concurrently, issue an order to the One Yuan Dao Palace in the Eastern Lands: Have Chen Lingming lead Elders Xuan Shui and Yan Huo, and conscript thirty thousand disciples to come for support."

In one breath, Chen Mobai brought forth the maximum strength the Five Elements Sect could currently deploy. The Black Sea's power far surpassed that of the Desolate Sea, and the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court was certainly no Ten Thousand Immortals Island; it was one of the most deeply rooted powers in the Heavenly River Realm.

The fall of Golden Crow Immortal City clearly indicated that a protracted war between the righteous path of the Eastern Continent and the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court was imminent. If the Five Elements Sect had not had the Heaven-Net Earth-Web Grand Array set up by him, they would likely be considering only self-preservation now.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

O Yun noted down every word Chen Mobai spoke, then immediately left to arrange these matters one by one.

Not long after, in the direction of North Abyss City's teleportation array, streaks of spiritual light continuously lit up, flying like a meteor shower towards the Five Elements Sect's main hall in the center of the Immortal City.

In the Eastern Barrens, all high-level cultivators of the Five Elements Sect who received the news and were not in secluded cultivation immediately rushed over.

"I'll borrow the Sea-Calming Sword for a while!"

Chen Mobai said to Qing Nv beside him. She nodded gently, her face tinged with worry, and took out a cyan-blue longsword, handing it to him.

With the Ten Thousand Swords Dharma Body perfected and the One Yuan Dao Scripture cultivated, Chen Mobai could now unleash the Sea-Calming Sword's power to its fullest. This sword would definitely be more effective against the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court's two great flood dragons than the Violet Lightning Sword.

Moreover, the Immortal Gate's three flying swords were all just a step away from Tier-6.

The Primal Yang Sword had already sublimated into a Tier-6 Saintly Virtue Sword. Chen Mobai felt that the Sea-Calming Sword and the Profound-Pointing Sword also had this potential.

This was a good opportunity to study with the Sea-Calming Sword and see if it could be sublimated. If it could reach Tier-6, it would certainly be of great help for Qing Nv's future Spirit Transformation.

The Sea-Calming Sword was naturally overjoyed. Since falling into Qing Nv's hands, it hadn't seen a single drop of blood, almost believing itself to be a Sword of Compassion.

As Chen Mobai grasped the hilt, the cyan-blue longsword immediately erupted with a dazzling sword aura that shot into the sky, making it seem as if a towering sword pillar had appeared in the center of North Abyss City. All sword cultivators and those practicing water-attribute cultivation techniques uncontrollably trembled.

It seemed that at this moment, their very lives were no longer their own.

The cultivators of North Abyss City looked at the cyan-blue sword aura rising into the sky in the center of the Immortal City with awe.

At this moment, two streaks of Nascent Soul spiritual light lit up in the suburbs, then, riding a beautiful azure great bird, they rapidly arrived above the main hall.

"Junior Brother!"

The arrivals were naturally Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. After receiving the news, they disregarded their recent purchase of an Azure Swan from the Liang family and immediately halted their spirit beast cultivation plans.

However, after Han Zhiling learned of the situation, she lent Zhou Shengqing the recently advanced Tier-3 Azure Swan from Little South Mountain. After all, Zhuo Ming was in seclusion and it was uncertain when she would need it, so lending it to these two elders was a good way to make full use of it.

"Senior Brother, I'll have to trouble you with the sect's arrangements. I have a bad feeling and need to go to the front lines to assess the situation!"

Chen Mobai couldn't help but feel relieved upon seeing Zhou Shengqing arrive.

"Junior Brother, rest assured, leave these trivial matters to me."

Zhou Shengqing nodded solemnly.

Chen Mobai also greeted Fu Zongjue, bid farewell to Qing Nv, and then transformed into a silver streak of light, vanishing from the spot.

In an instant, he had teleported to the edge of the Heaven-Net Earth-Web Grand Array in Eastern Yi.

His vast Spirit Transformation mid-stage divine sense spread out, and soon the entire Eastern Yi fell within his perception.

Indeed, the Sunken Sun Sea territory, bordering the Black Sea, was already ravaged, with life devastated. After the Sun Divine Tree was broken, the entire coastline's defensive restrictions had become mere formalities.

Countless demonic beasts, dense as a swarm, rode the waves ashore and began to rampage across the land, slaughtering all living beings they encountered. Local cultivators were also resisting, but the vast numerical disparity made their efforts seem futile.

Chen Mobai snorted coldly, about to make his move, but his expression suddenly changed as he looked towards the depths of the Black Sea.

"Hahahaha, Chen, the Immortal Tortoise, you've finally arrived."

A dragon's roar echoed from the deep sea. A colossal black flood dragon extended its dark, sharp claws, tearing through the sea surface and the swirling deep mist, like a giant sky-obscuring curtain, striking down towards the Eastern Yi coastline.

Flames lit up in Chen Mobai's pupils. His second nascent soul flew out, directly controlling the Primal Yang Sword which transformed into a startling flash of light, piercing towards the flood dragon's claw.

The old flood dragon, however, showed no fear. Its massive body rose from the seabed, its dark scales seemingly absorbing the surrounding light, glinting with frost and lightning. With every inch it emerged from the sea, another layer of world-overturning waves appeared on the surface. The colossal waves resembled its spine, rising in successive tiers on the sea, and a suffocating power surged with its claws, rushing towards the Eastern Yi coastal land, seemingly intending to submerge the entire Eastern Yi.

In its home territory of the Black Sea, the old flood dragon displayed the majestic power of the Heavenly River Realm's top nine True Spirits. Its eyes, like two brilliant golden gems, reflected a cold light on the sea surface, exuding an aura of majesty and cruelty. The boundless ocean, guided by the Abyss-Calming Sea-Suppressing Pearl above its head, roared and surged endlessly.

Fierce winds howled and ocean waves roared. In just a few breaths, the entire sea surface had risen hundreds of meters above the Eastern Yi continent. As the massive black dragon claw slammed down, clashing head-on with the Primal Yang Sword controlled by the second nascent soul, an earth-shattering golden and black light erupted.

But though the dragon claw was blocked, the Black Sea's thousand-layered colossal waves crashed irresistibly onto Chen Mobai's head.

Amidst the roaring sound.

The entire Eastern Yi coastline was submerged in that instant.

Countless living beings wailed as they were swept away. Within the colossal waves, the Black Sea demon race grew even more ferocious, gleefully hunting down the submerged humans, cattle, sheep, and other creatures.

A gigantic figure, like a divine mountain reaching the heavens, drew its sword amidst the myriad colossal waves. He wore a white jade crown, his eyes shone like brilliant stars, and he was clad in a Dao-Law Celestial Robe. Streaks of dazzling sword formations flickered, transforming into nine resplendent sword-stars that revolved around the Ten Thousand Swords Dharma Body along star-like orbits.

The Sea-Calming Sword was raised. After its golden tassel absorbed the power of the Water Dao, which Chen Mobai had converted using the One Yuan Dao Scripture, it immediately erupted with an unprecedented brilliance.

The Tier-5 Sea-Calming Wave technique spread out, instantly pervading every corner of the Sky-Intercepting Sword Domain.

Amidst the splashing sounds, the colossal waves suddenly began to recede. All the water seemed to be controlled by a mighty force, rising towards the sky, quickly revealing the gray land, rocks, large trees, house ruins, and so on. Naturally, there were also humans who had thought they were surely dead, and the Black Sea demon race, looking bewildered after the seawater had receded.
