Chapter 246: Battle in Tianling Province
🕑 Added 2024-01-15 16:27:14 +0000 UTC"I wonder how the specific situation is on the side of the Five Element Subworlds."
From what Li Fan knew, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association had not waged war for about three hundred years.
They occasionally had friction, but at most, it was limited to a single province.
Situations like this one, where the entire area was prepared for war, were extremely rare.
Li Fan continued to inquire about the reasons for the outbreak of the conflict from his friends, trying to confirm whether his speculations were true.
Unfortunately, the war seemed to have a very high level of secrecy. The responses Li Fan received were all uncertain.
The ominous clouds of war hung over everyone.
The originally carefree atmosphere of Ten Thousand Immortals Island became desolate and filled with an oppressive air.
Everyone's faces showed a subtle and uneasy expression.
As a Formation Repairer of the Formation Hall, Li Fan also received task assignments.
He followed the members of the Martial Hall, forming a team to patrol along the border of the Cong Yun Sea.
They were also tasked with setting up formations while being vigilant against spies from the Five Elders Association.
The leader of Li Fan's team was a cultivator named Shan Wu, a mid stage Golden Core expert.
In the team, there were also Huan Sui and several other Foundation Establishment cultivators Li Fan had previously met during the beast extermination task.
Li Fan's patrol team was not the only one.
Almost all the mobilizable forces of Ten Thousand Immortals Island were put into action, indicating the importance attached to this war.
As for Jiang Zhengji and Du Xingchang, they were reportedly requisitioned by the headquarters and went to the frontline.
"When Jiang Zhengji and Du Xingchang unite, they can deploy their ultimate technique, the 'Crystal World,' and become comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator."
"And Zhang Zhiliang also seems to have been called to the frontline."
"Are Nascent Soul cultivators the main force in the war..."
Li Fan contemplated inwardly.
The scale of this war seemed to exceed his expectations.
"Other things are not a problem, but I'm afraid that if the 'reborn' Ye Feipeng finds out that things are different from what he remembers..."
"With his suspicious and cautious nature, he might just give up the plan to kill Crimson Flame."
"Then my plans for this life will be in vain."
With a thought, the scene shifted to the chubby Ye Feipeng.
What slightly relieved Li Fan was that the Cong Yun Sea was large enough.
Moreover, Ye Feipeng had always avoided the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance due to certain reasons. He was currently unaware of the large-scale war occurring in the cultivation world.
"I hope the war can end soon and not extend to the Cong Yun Sea."
In the face of unexpected events, even a reincarnated person like Li Fan couldn't control much.
It must be said that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had strong control over the low-level cultivators.
The confidentiality of the war was almost impeccable.
On the surface, the Cong Yun Sea seemed a bit tense, but there was absolutely no sign of full-out war.
If it weren't for the constantly rising permission level reminding Li Fan of the war, he wouldn't have sensed anything.
Li Fan was completely unaware that in a distant and unknown area, a monumental battle was taking place.
Time passed slowly.
Several months had passed, and the sixteenth year was coming to an end.
During this period, apart from occasionally repelling a few small groups of enemies, the war had not affected the Cong Yun Sea much, as Li Fan had hoped.
And under the continuous completion of wartime merit tasks, Li Fan's permission level had also increased to Eighteen.
On this day, the prompt from the Tianxuan Mirror finally came.
The dust of war settled, and the state of preparedness that had lasted for more than eight months was lifted.
As for the result of the war, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance naturally emerged victorious.
After the intelligence was declassified, through enthusiastic discussions and reviews among the cultivators, Li Fan finally gained a rough understanding of the causes and consequences of this war.
Nine months ago.
A team of Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cultivators, tasked with developing the Wood Attribute Subworld, discovered during their research that the wood attribute spiritual energy in the subworld was not like ordinary subworlds. Instead of being consumed and requiring a long time to recover, the spiritual energy seemed to come from an unknown source, continuously replenishing itself.
It seemed as if it would never be completely depleted: after a large batch of spiritual plants consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy, it would immediately be replenished.
This discovery greatly surprised the cultivators because this spiritual energy was obviously not generated by the Wood Attribute Subworld itself, nor did it come from the Xuanhuang Realm outside.
After analysis, the cultivators believed that this Wood Attribute Subworld belonged to an extremely rare composite subworld.
And the rapidly generated spiritual energy came from the supplementation of other subworlds.
After a rather convoluted search, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance team finally discovered the complete form of the Five Element Subworlds.
This was a tremendous achievement!
In the midst of their jubilation, the exploration team couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
Because the location where the Five Element Subworlds were found was quite awkward.
It was located in Tianling Province, which bordered the territory of the Five Elders Association.
Having such a treasure located on the frontline made people uneasy.
So, the exploration team transmitted the information to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters.
While explaining the situation, they also hoped that the headquarters could send support to move the Five Element Subworlds back to the hinterland, near Tianyu Province.
Who would have thought that before the support from the headquarters arrived, members of the Five Elders Association had already come.
Somehow, the information had leaked.
The surprise attack by the Five Elders Association caught everyone off guard.
The entire exploration team inside the Wood Attribute Subworld was annihilated.
According to the information they transmitted before their deaths, the assault by the Five Elders Association cultivators even included three Dao Integration powerhouses.
Under the joint efforts of the three Dao Integration cultivators, the Five Element Subworlds were dragged and quickly moved towards the territory of the Five Elders Association.
Not only did they infiltrate the territory secretly, but in broad daylight, the Five Elders Association slaughtered many members of the alliance and plundered precious subworld resources.
This was a blatant act of humiliation!
Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters immediately decided to enter Class B wartime preparedness status, mobilizing eight Dao Integration cultivators and several Soul Transformation cultivators to pursue the Five Elders Association.
They must retrieve the Five Element Subworlds.
Then they ordered each province to be on high alert, preventing the Five Elders Association from deceiving them and having ulterior motives.
Relocating a subworld was not an easy task.
Even if Dao Integration experts were involved, it was still difficult.
When the eight Dao Integration cultivators caught up with the Five Elders Association, ready to take action, they suddenly discovered that the other party had indeed planned for a long time.
In addition to the three Dao Integration cultivators who launched the surprise attack, there were secretly five more Dao Integration experts lying in ambush.
Eight Dao Integration Immortal Sages against eight Dao Integration Immortal Sages.
A battle erupted immediately.
The process and outcome of the battle were unknown.
All that was known was that after this battle, the Five Element Subworlds remained in place.
Both the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association tacitly recalled the surviving Dao Integration cultivators.
Afterwards, a war mainly involving Soul Transformation and below cultivators unfolded around the Five Element Subworlds.
The war lasted for nearly eight months.
Numerous cultivators fell.
Death announcements occurred in the sky from dawn to dusk, never stopping for a moment.
In the end, when both sides had somewhat depleted their vitality, the war inexplicably came to a halt.
Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance claimed internally that they had won the war because the Five Element Subworlds were indeed later moved back to the hinterland of Tianyu Province.
