Chapter 818: Rising Fame
"Lingyun Palace is billions of miles away. How many True Immortals can they send here? Besides the Taoist Immortals in charge, the Siyou Sect and Nanbo Sect are not much stronger than your Jiuxuan Sect in terms of the number of True Immortals. With their financial resources, how many True Immortals can they send here?
Not only that, every True Immortal in the late stage is very precious to the three major sects, especially to the Siyou Sect and Nanbo Sect. As long as one of them comes, we will kill him. I want to see how much loss they can withstand?
If all these Taoist immortal reserve troops are killed, what is the use of Siyoumen and Nanbozong occupying more territory? They can't hold it!" Qin Ziling finally said.
“In this case, the elders and protectors of Wuji Sect will probably be exposed!” Yue Huai’s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, revealing a hint of anticipation, but soon turned into worry.
The Wuji Sect's team is so unusual and dazzling that once exposed, without a Taoist immortal in charge, it would easily attract the fear and covetousness of many powerful forces, thus bringing about fatal disasters.
“No, your Jiuxuan Sect will be the main force in this battle. Wuji Sect will send out one or two ninth-grade true immortals when it is really necessary.” Qin Ziling waved his hand.
"Then how can we defend the 90 million miles of sea area of Jiuxuan Mountain?" Yue Huai asked puzzledly.
"How can such a vast territory be defended by defense? It depends on the power of deterrence! Why was the Jiuxuan Sect able to control nearly 200 million miles of sea in the past, but now it has shrunk to 90 million miles of sea?
Is it relying on the troops stationed in various places? Obviously not. If that were the case, the territory governed by the Jiuxuan Sect would not have shrunk to 90 million miles.
Jiuxuan Sect used to rule over nearly 200 million miles of sea area, relying on the deterrent power of the Taoist Immortal. The Taoist Immortal was like a sharp sword hanging over the 200 million miles of sea area. Anyone who dared to invade would be prepared to bear the Taoist Immortal's angry sword.
Later, as the Jiuxuan Sect lost its Taoist immortal, its deterrent power weakened, and its territory continued to shrink, until now it only covers 90 million miles.
This time, we have to re-establish the Jiuxuan Sect's powerful deterrent force. To build a strong deterrent force, the most effective way is to attack and kill every invader!
In this way, every True Immortal sent by the three major sects, when they want to invade the Jiuxuan Mountain Sea Area, must carefully consider whether they can bear the risk of being killed! "Qin Ziling said.
“But the 90 million li ocean is still too vast for us right now. If a war really breaks out, by the time we gather the top warriors and rush over, I’m afraid it will be too late.
Therefore, if you really want to defend this 90 million miles of sea area, you must station strong men at some important blessed places at regular intervals. Once the enemy attacks, not only can you defend it, but strong men nearby can also rush to support you as soon as possible.
But with the current number of True Immortals in the Jiuxuan Sect, it is simply not possible to cover such a vast territory, and with the current foundation of the Jiuxuan Sect, once it is dispersed, it will just happen to be defeated by the opponent one by one. "Yue Huai said.
"The Jiuxuan Sect should have set up emergency communication formations at important blessed places at regular intervals in this 90 million li sea area, right?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Of course!" Yue Huai replied.
"This means that once the three major sects come to attack, we should be able to receive a distress signal quickly?" Qin Ziling asked again.
"Yes." Yue Huai nodded.
"That's no problem! As long as we can receive the distress signal in time, and Yin Ranyue, Lan Ran and Ye Chen arrive in time, with the combined strength of the three of them, unless the Taoist immortals from the three major sects take action personally, no one should be their match!" Qin Ziling said.
"It's hundreds of millions of miles away. With Master Yin's strength and the Thunder Escape Technique, and Master Lan and Senior Brother Ye, they should be able to get there quickly. But if it's tens of millions of miles away, it may be too late, unless..." Yue Huai stopped talking here, looking at Qin Ziling with disbelief and shock.
"Hit the superior forces, kill one by one. Even if the three major sects are wealthy, they may not be able to withstand such losses." Qin Ziling interrupted Yue Huai and said calmly, but made everyone in the hall feel a chill.
"If the three major sects become desperate and disregard the rules and send out Taoist immortals, what should we do?" Jian Bailou asked after a long time.
Everyone's face changed slightly when they heard this.
It is entirely possible!
Rules are always absolutely effective for the weak, but only relatively effective for the strong.
When necessary, they will comply with maintenance on the surface, but once they exceed the bottom line they think they can bear, they will break the rules without shame.
As long as you are strong enough and your backing is strong enough, the worst that can happen is that you have to pay a small price afterwards!
"Hao Yuansong and Jiang Qiaonian probably wouldn't dare to take action, but Lingyun Palace might be able to do it. But if the Taoist immortals from Lingyun Palace come, we won't take action.
As a high and mighty Taoist immortal and a member of the General Administration Office, he represents the Immortal Court government. Even if he has no shame, he can never be ruthless to the peripheral forces of the Jiuxuan Sect!
If our strong men don't come out, he won't have a chance to kill him, and it's impossible for him to stay in the Jiuxuan Mountain waters for a long time. What's the point of coming and leaving?
The Taoist immortals from Lingyun Hall went back and forth several times, and time was delayed. Ran Yue and Lan Ran would both have to go through the heavenly tribulation. Once the two of them survived the heavenly tribulation, this would give us a reason to seriously injure or even kill him. "Qin Ziling said.
"Hiss!" Everyone present, even Jian Bailou, couldn't help but gasp when they heard the last sentence.
What a ruthless man he is. While others are just thinking about gradually nibbling away at the outer territories of Jiuxuan Sect, he has already started thinking about killing the Taoist immortal of Lingyun Palace.
"Let's start from the Juxian Sea first. Since they like to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, let's also kill a chicken to scare the monkeys!" Qin Ziling said lightly.
…
Juxianhai, Chi family!
Chi Rong stood high in the air, overlooking the True Immortal leaders from all forces in the Juxian Sea below who were gathering together. His long hair was flying, his clothes were rustling, and he looked indescribably high-spirited.
"From today on, I am the master of Juxian Pavilion. You must pay tribute once every hundred years and obey my orders. If you disobey, Yu Shinan will be your example!" Chi Rong said majestically.
"Chi Rong, you are so arrogant! Not only did you kill Yu Shinan, who had a close relationship with my Jiuxuan Sect, but you are also going to launch a large-scale attack on the Yaoye Mountain blessed land." Chi Rong's voice had just sounded when a voice like thunder came .
"I wonder which great master from the Jiuxuan Sect has come to visit? Please show yourself and tell us!" Chi Rong was shocked when he heard this and shouted loudly.
When Chi Rong shouted, two brilliant lights shot up into the sky from the Chi Mansion, revealing two eighth-grade true immortals.
One of them was the tall woman who had killed Yu Shinan in Juxian Pavilion that day.
"I've heard for a long time that Yu Shinan has a deep connection with the Jiuxuan Sect. I thought that after I killed him, you, the Jiuxuan Sect, would not dare to come forward. I didn't expect that you would still come! Since you are here, then stay!" said the tall woman coldly.
His eyes were fixed on a dark cloud floating in the sky.
"That's a good point. Since you are here, you might as well stay!" Dark clouds and lightning flashed, revealing a graceful woman with a scepter in her hand.
"Purple Thunder Staff, you are Yin Ranyue, the new peak master of Xuanting Peak of Jiuxuan Sect!" Chi Rong's face changed slightly.
As the grand elder of Juxian Pavilion, he did not recognize Yin Ranyue, but he recognized the Zixiao Thunder Staff. He had also heard that the Xuanting Peak of the Jiuxuan Sect had a new peak master.
As for the battle between the Netherworld Palace and the Jiuxuan Sect a few years ago, no one dared to get involved. Later, the Netherworld Palace was completely destroyed and the Jiuxuan Sect closed its mountain gate. The news that Yin Ranyue had displayed his supernatural powers in that battle was not spread to the outside world.
"Yes, it is me!" Yin Ranyue said coldly, "Chi Rong, if you were forced to surrender to Lingyun Palace, it would be understandable, and I could spare your life. But you are not like that. Instead, you are willing to be an accomplice to the tiger and take the opportunity to dominate Juxian Sea and involve many innocent forces in Juxian Sea in this conflict. Therefore, I will kill you today!"
“As a ninth-rank true immortal, you do have the capital to be arrogant. But Yin Ranyue, if you alone want to kill Chi Rong in front of us, that is simply wishful thinking!” the tall woman sneered.
As they spoke, she and another eighth-rank true immortal had already taken out their immortal weapons and pointed at Yin Ran Yue from afar. Their expressions were solemn, but not at all panicked.
Both of them are veteran eighth-grade True Immortals from Lingyun Palace. They are highly skilled in Taoism and immortal arts, and together they can compete with ninth-grade True Immortals.
Moreover, Chi Rong and the Chi family were also quite powerful. At this time, they had gathered the elite True Immortals from all sides of the Juxian Sea. In their opinion, if they could cooperate well and work together, even if they could not capture Yin Ranyue, they should be able to injure her.
"Really?" Yin Ranyue smiled coldly and pointed the Purple Thunder Staff in his hand towards the sky.
Suddenly, the sky began to shake violently.
A crack appeared in the void.
A purple lightning with purple flames struck down from the crack.
As the purple thunder struck down, the sky and earth were dimmed, and a terrifying aura of destruction instantly spread between heaven and earth.
The True Immortal leaders from all parties in the Juxian Sea standing in the square couldn't help but tremble all over, with expressions of extreme fear on their faces, as if the end of the world had come.
“Purple Mansion Divine Thunder! How is this possible!” The two eighth-grade True Immortals from Lingyun Palace were knowledgeable and experienced. They recognized the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder at once. They were so frightened that all the pores on their bodies exploded. Without even thinking, they rolled up a beam of light and tried to escape.
When Chi Rong saw the two True Immortals from Lingyun Palace turn around and flee, he was stunned with fear.
You can't play with people like this!
If you guys just walk away, what will I do? This is my home!
But now is obviously not the time to pursue these issues.
Chi Rong shuddered all over, and a ray of light rolled up and fled in different directions from the two True Immortals.
But the three of them were fast, and Raiden was even faster.
The purple mansion divine thunder split into three forks, striking Chi Rong and the two eighth-grade true immortals from Lingyun Palace respectively.
"Master Yinfeng, spare my life!"
When Chi Rong saw the thunder coming, he was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of crisis. He didn't dare to run away anymore. He quickly turned his magic weapon to resist while begging for mercy loudly.
"thunderbolt!"
A loud bang drowned out Chi Rong's cry for mercy and knocked down his magic weapon. Chi Rong fell straight to the ground along with the magic weapon.
His whole body was charred and electric lights were flashing on his body.
On the other two sides, two eighth-grade True Immortals barely managed to block one fork of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder, but they were unable to block the second one and were also knocked to the ground.
Looking at the two eighth-grade true immortals and one seventh-grade true immortal lying straight on the ground, shaking from time to time with flashing lightning, the Chi family square was dead silent.
Who could have thought that the three people who were so majestic just now and who were invincible in their eyes were actually completely defeated by the master of Xuanting Peak of Jiuxuan Sect, and they didn't even have the ability to resist.
Yinranyue did not show any surprise or pride.
The power of thunder is the most powerful among all the Taoist methods.
She has now stepped one foot into the threshold of becoming a Taoist immortal, and the Purple Sky Thunder Staff, because of the enlightenment and nourishment of the Purple Mansion Thunder Tribulation Liquid, has now broken through to become a mid-grade Xuan-level Taoist treasure.
Because it is a rare thunder-type Taoist treasure, the power of the Purple Sky Thunder Staff is almost comparable to other top-grade Xuan-level Taoist treasures.
Just like Qin Ziling's five-colored feather bead, it can almost crush most Taoist treasures of the same grade.
If the grade of a Taoist treasure is the most important indicator to measure its power, then its attribute characteristics are very important indicators.
In this situation, Yin Ranyue and Lei Xiao, each with a treasure, joined forces. Even if a low-grade Taoist immortal came, Yin Ranyue would be able to fight back. Moreover, if she really wanted to escape, the low-grade Taoist immortal would not be able to stop her.
"Master, please spare my life!" Someone suddenly woke up and started shouting.
"Peak Master, please spare our lives!" The others finally woke up and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"You were all forced, what crime have you committed?" Yin Ranyue waved his hand, and then three bolts of lightning fell, sweeping up Chi Rong and the other two, and then turned into a bolt of lightning, cutting through the void and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
The battle of Juxianhai did not scare off Lingyun Sect. On the contrary, it was regarded as a naked contempt and provocation to Lingyun Sect.
A war below the level of Taoist immortals thus began in the waters of Jiuxuan Mountain.
The three-person team consisting of Yin Ranyue, Lan Ran and Ye Chen is like an indestructible and extremely sharp knife. As long as a powerful team of true immortals appears in the sea area of Jiuxuan Mountain, they will assassinate there and be invincible.
Of course, the other masters of Xuanfeng Peak, Difeng Peak and Supreme Elder of Jiuxuan Sect, as well as the elders from each peak will also be dispatched.
However, they are mainly responsible for some less important wars and wars where the opponent is not very strong.
The Jiuxuan Mountain sea area is 90 million miles wide and vast. The three major sects and multiple forces are simultaneously invading and encroaching upon it. Some of the incursions and encroachments are even carried out in secret, step by step, and on a very small scale.
In a war like this, sending out Yin Ranyue and the other two is obviously an overkill. Moreover, even if Qin Ziling helps tear apart the space, build a space channel, and help them cross the space, they are too busy to handle so many battlefields.
Besides, whether it is Qin Ziling, Yin Ranyue, Lan Ran or Ye Chen, they are all in a critical period of seeking a breakthrough and it is impossible for them to focus most of their energy on peripheral wars.
Many wars were originally the responsibilities of other disciples.
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to train an army and only a day to deploy it. This is also one of the purposes of the sect in cultivating its disciples.
Many wars between major forces are actually wars between the "soldiers and generals" below, and they decide the outcome. Only when they can no longer bear it, will the top figures come forward or take action.
Time passes.
Forty years had passed quickly since the lightning battle at Juxianhai.
Forty years is definitely a long time for a war in the secular world, but for the world of immortal cultivation, the war has just begun.
However, due to the terrifying combat power of Yin Ranyue's three-person team and Qin Ziling's precise delivery, the three major sects have lost a lot of top True Immortal disciples.
The Siyou Sect and the Nanbo Sect lost one ninth-grade true immortal and several eighth-grade true immortals respectively.
Such a loss is nothing for a big force like Lingyun Sect, but it is a heavy loss for Siyou Sect and Nanbo Sect.
Therefore, whether it was the disciples in the late True Immortal realm within the Siyou Sect and the Nanbo Sect, or the True Immortal powerhouses in the peripheral forces, they all began to resist going to war.
No matter how much territory you occupy, how can it be more important than your own life?
However, due to the pressure from Lingyun Palace and their own greed, although Siyoumen and Nanbozong greatly reduced the mobilization of True Immortals, they increased the investment in lower-level forces.
The deaths and injuries of lower-level disciples and peripheral personnel cannot shake the foundation of the sect, but through this kind of war, it can train and select disciples who are truly worthy of being trained, just like gold is found after sand is washed away by the waves.
Many sects do not oppose wars at the lower levels, and even allow fights between disciples within the sect. The purpose is actually to select disciples who are truly worthy of cultivation through layers of tests and elimination, so as to avoid wasting a lot of resources and ending up with nothing.
After all, Lingyun Palace had a strong foundation and could not tolerate this humiliation, so they sent out more eighth-grade, ninth-grade and even half-level disciples.
In order to prevent these top True Immortal disciples from being defeated one by one, they formed a team.
If Yin Ranyue, Lan Ran and Ye Chen don’t move out, they won’t move out either.
As soon as Yin Ranyue, Lan Ran and Ye Chen set out, they will set out.
Thus, when the war between the two sides reached its fortieth year, the top True Immortal forces of both sides formed a standoff, and the war gradually turned into a contest between the various levels of power below.
This also means that the war has begun to become a protracted human battle, and the number of people participating in the war is very important.
Lingyun Palace is billions of miles away. It is easy to send a few top-notch immortals here, but it will take a year or two to transport a large number of troops. This is still considered fast.
Therefore, once there is a loss of troops, it is not easy to replenish them.
Siyoumen and Nanbozong will be much faster, but their transportation capabilities are definitely not as strong as Lingyun Palace, and it will take dozens of days for the troops to travel to various places.
But the Jiuxuan Sect is different.
They had the home advantage and were able to mobilize troops from all sides in a timely manner. In addition, Qin Ziling had a lot of unused resources on hand, so he took this opportunity to allocate a lot of them to the Jiuxuan Sect, allowing the Jiuxuan Sect to use this battle to train its disciples.
Not only that, Qin Ziling also sent some inner and outer disciples under the protection of Wuji Sect elders to participate in the war, in order to train and cultivate them and let them grow up as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, he would not be able to use the best resources in his hands.
The Jiuxuan Sect is different from the Xu family in the Great Barbarian West Sea.
The Xu family has only produced one Taoist immortal in their ancestry, and the family has been in decline for 110,000 years. Most of their original capital has been spent, and there is not much left.
However, the Jiuxuan Sect has produced Taoist immortals in every generation, and it even had a glorious time when it dominated the entire Western Sea of Barbarians. It has only declined greatly in the last ten thousand years.
Therefore, apart from the lack of a Taoist immortal and the lack of top-notch True Immortals, the Jiuxuan Sect still has a very strong foundation and many True Immortal disciples.
For example, the masters of the seventy-two peaks and the elders of each are all true immortal disciples carefully selected and trained by the Jiuxuan Sect.
In terms of strong basic foundation, Wuji Sect, which was established only a few years ago, is still far from comparable to Jiuxuan Sect.
These True Immortal disciples of the Jiuxuan Sect had the Wuji Sect providing them with a steady stream of resources behind them. Not only were they not defeated by the combined army of the three major sects, but they took advantage of this battle to grow rapidly, dragging the war between the two sides into a complete stalemate.
