Chapter 2824: Demonstrating Position

The people from the sects who came did not experience the war against the Demon Clan, but they all understood from their ancestry the cruelty of that battle, knowing deeply that the power of the Demon Clan is beyond their imagination. Now, with their current strength to confront the Demon Clan, it would undoubtedly be sending them to their deaths.

After discussing, the scene became dead silent, and everyone fell into silence, unwilling to speak first as they awaited Murong Chuan to propose a solution...

Murong Chuan also remained silent for a while, observing everyone’s expressions. He knew they were feeling helpless as they were suddenly shocked by such startling news. Then, he continued, "The place where the Demon Clan appeared is Divine Wander Island near the Southern Region sea, closest to Yunlan Sect’s territory. You should be more familiar with it, please introduce it to everyone."

"Yes," Yunlan Sect Master Li Kan nodded and said, "Half a month ago, our sect’s people suddenly discovered many tall black-clad men appearing near Lin City. After observing, they realized they were indeed not people from Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, most likely from the Demon Clan. Moreover, sect members also discovered that these people’s right arms bore a distinct star mark, a unique totem of the Demon Clan, so we immediately contacted Myriad Heavens Divine Cult."

Listening to Li Kan’s words, Murong Chuan took a sip of water and said to everyone, "Actually, even before Yunlan Sect informed me, the Eternal God Emperor already shared this matter with me. The Emperor’s intention is that all sects and factions must forcibly send strong individuals to resist the Demon Clan, vowing to protect Myriad Heavens Divine Realm."

Although the Eternal God Emperor did not say this explicitly, having this responsibility entrusted to him, he could only command everyone so firmly. Otherwise, relying on the strength of Myriad Heavens Divine Cult alone to resist the Demon Clan would be like smashing an egg against a rock. Even if all the sects sent their strong individuals, they might not be able to match the Demon Clan. He believes that the Emperor will surely appear at the crucial moment.

What!

Forcibly!

Everyone was taken aback by these words. Previously, Myriad Heavens Divine Cult had never spoken so dictatorially. They had always coexisted on equal footing with Myriad Heavens Divine Cult. Though Myriad Heavens Divine Cult’s influence stretches across the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, there was minimal contact between the sects, and they were not subsidiaries of Myriad Heavens Divine Cult. Murong Chuan speaking so suddenly from this position made them all feel somewhat unacceptable.

However, the mention of the Eternal God Emperor changed everything. The Eternal God Emperor is equivalent to the commander of the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, his words would surely be responded to by all. Now that the matter concerning the Demon Clan has genuinely occurred, it involves life and death for the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, and they know avoiding it in such circumstances is impossible.

Still silence reigns, everyone is calculating in their hearts, nobody is willing to speak with those around them, all wishing for their sects to remain unharmed. But they also realize that should anything happen to Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, their sects would face obliteration as well.

Fan Yun was the first to break the silence, standing up to address everyone, "You know that Myriad Gods Tower prioritizes commerce, and our cultivation aspect is indeed lacking, but I, along with the six Great Elders of Myriad Gods Tower, are willing to go all out."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze turned to Fan Yun, as if a dazzling radiance shone from him. Fan Yun merely understood one principle: only unity can offer a chance for victory; otherwise, the result for Myriad Heavens Divine Realm would be doom.

Murong Chuan nodded, not expecting Fan Yun to be the first to speak. In his impression, Fan Yun seemed just like a shrewd businessman, which truly surprised him.

Jing Po, sitting next to Fan Yun, also stood up and said to Murong Chuan, "The five Great Elders of the Transcendence Pond are willing to battle."

Among these people, Jing Po had the most qualifications to speak. In terms of strength, he is one of the top powerhouses. The Transcendence Pond has always prioritized cultivation, so his strength was the strongest. He knows that this battle is highly risky, and may not emerge unscathed, but he is willing to fight to the death.

"Wind Thunder Pavilion is willing to battle!"

"Vanishing Immortal Palace is willing to battle!"

"Yanyue Sect is willing to battle!"

...

...

Listening to Fan Yun and Jing Po’s words, the Elders from other eight sects and sixteen pavilions also expressed their stance in succession, willing to send strong individuals from their sects to confront the people from the Demon Clan. Although everyone does not yet know the situation on the Demon Clan’s side, as long as everyone works together, there might be hope to defeat the Demon Clan.

Murong Chuan nodded upon hearing their words, now this seems to be the only solution. Then, he stood and instructed, "I will personally lead people from Myriad Heavens Divine Cult to participate in the battle, Great Elders from Myriad Gods Tower and Transcendence Pond, team up with Cloud Sword Sect and proceed to Divine Wander Island for an initial investigation, we will follow shortly. Other sects also return to gather their troops, we must confront the Demon Clan to the end!"

At this moment, Murong Chuan was very excited. Although he felt there was no guarantee of victory, everyone was motivated. He suddenly remembered what Lin Feng had told him before, and he felt it necessary to convey those words. He continued, "After you return to the sect, be fully prepared. If we truly cannot defeat the Demon Clan, the sect’s plans for retreat must also be prepared in advance. Besides, I analyzed that the Demon Clan might not send all their forces to participate, so we should have some chance of winning."

Upon hearing Murong Chuan’s words, everyone’s morale was boosted. They certainly wanted to protect the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. After years of hard work establishing the sect, they must not let the Demon Clan destroy it. Thinking of this, everyone’s eyes revealed a resolute look, and the previous feeling of fear vanished.

"How was the Demon Clan’s portal opened?" Haotian asked.

"I’m unsure about that; we’ll have to investigate carefully when we return," answered the Elder of the Cloud Sword Sect.

"No matter how terrifying the Demon Clan is, we can find their weakness."

"Why did they suddenly retreat when they were about to win back then?"

...

Everyone discussed the matters concerning the Demon Clan, trying to find better strategies for dealing with them. They viewed this great battle as a watershed moment and as a life-and-death battle. After talking for several two hours, this meeting finally ended. Then, everyone got up to return to their sects, to quickly prepare for confronting the Demon Clan.

Time has unknowingly passed, and in no time, Lin Feng had been cultivating in the mysterious land for a full year. During this year, Lin Feng neither ate nor drank, his eyes tightly closed, continually floating mid-air. The surrounding Yuan Energy seemed almost solidified, encasing him within it. His skin appeared like a flawless jade, emitting a faint milky white glow, and his originally youthful appearance became even younger, his skin almost returned to a baby-like delicacy. At this moment, he was emitting a faint aura, as if reborn.

Lin Feng retracted the golden Yuangang Protective Shield, and subsequently, the eight nearly liquid columns of Yuan Energy around him returned to their original places. He remained suspended mid-air, reached out, and looked at the faint aura on his body, revealing a slight smile.

"So long!"

Wan Hai, sitting on the ground, looked up at Lin Feng. Who could’ve thought Lin Feng would cultivate for so long? He just sat there watching Lin Feng, afraid something unexpected might happen. After all, he knew the environment here was not something ordinary cultivators could withstand. However, upon seeing Lin Feng’s appearance, he nodded contently. At this moment, Lin Feng looked just like an average person, seemingly exuding only a newborn’s aura, with no trace of a cultivator’s aura. Such an extraordinary powerhouse appearing in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was truly remarkable.

Looking at Wan Hai, Lin Feng also smiled, walked over, patted Wan Hai’s shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let’s go back to the sect now!"

He felt that the purpose of this training expedition had been achieved. His current power rivals that of a Divine Emperor Peak expert, and he believed that in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, no Divine Emperor would be his opponent. Now, strategies on dealing with the Demon Clan needed considering.

However, he decided to first return to the sect and have a look. After cultivating here for a year, surely Gu Tianhai’s side had already completed construction by now. He planned to arrange the sect’s affairs properly before checking out the situation with the Demon Clan and the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.

Wan Hai looked at Lin Feng and smiled, saying, "It’s not so easy..."

Lin Feng, hearing this, did not inquire further. After all, diviners always speak so cryptically. He then grabbed Wan Hai, mounted the Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix, and flew directly towards the sect.

After a ten-day flight, finally reaching Thunder Valley, standing in the air above Thunder Valley, Lin Feng was completely stunned by the scene before him. In just one year, Thunder Valley had transformed. From outside, it looked incredibly majestic, even looking down from mid-air, the layered palaces filled the valley. With the white mist outside Thunder Valley, it felt like one might fall into the Immortal Realm.

"This place is nice!"

Flying in the air, Wan Hai looked down at Thunder Valley and praised. Never did he expect Lin Feng to find such a great place in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, not easily found. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend, hard to attack, and extremely secretive. Lin Feng must have put a lot of effort into finding this place.

Lin Feng smiled without speaking, then descended with Wan Hai, standing at the entrance of the sect. Lin Feng discovered what seemed to be a transparent barrier. He didn’t set up any formations when he left; surely, this formation was Yuan Su’s practice handiwork.

Standing in front of this transparent barrier, Lin Feng closed his eyes to feel the formation. He found Yuan Su’s formation skills had indeed improved, but for him, it was mere child’s play. In just an instant, he led Wan Hai through the formation, entering Thunder Valley.

Oddly, he didn’t see Gu Tianhai’s figure; only some unfamiliar Ascenders in the sect were finishing the final touches. This left Lin Feng puzzled. Normally, Gu Tianhai would oversee anything, regardless of what. Had he gone out to buy materials? Even Han Xuan’er and Ma Biaohu’s figures couldn’t be seen. What exactly was going on?
