Wang Wu instinctively knew that there was no way around it.
This blockade immortal array split the Cultivation Realm in two.
What a grand gesture!
But Wang Wu couldn't understand, did those twelve Daluo not intervene?
Which forces were involved, because this wasn't sothing a couple of factions could pull off.
What exactly happened?
Wang Wu was more worried but had no way to find out the truth. He couldn't just grab a Taiyi to ask; if they weren't soone he absolutely trusted, asking random questions would still cause problems.
However, this matter wasn't urgent for now.
Wang Wu silently approached the blockade immortal array, carefully observing it in search of a way to cross the border.
The more he observed, the more shocked he beca, because this blockade immortal array was at least the handiwork of a Half-step Daluo. The more intricate structures and deploynts need not be ntioned, but the most notable feature was its defense against the Three Calamities Evolution!
Wang Wu realized that it was no longer possible to silently pass through using the thod of Three Calamities Evolution as he did before.
With this thought, he decisively descended, approaching a gigantic city, which was a connection point of the blockade immortal array and one of the few checkpoints for passage.
There were five gigantic cities in total; as Wang Wu approached, he saw the Divine Dragon Immortal Alliance's insignia engraved on it. So this ant the Divine Dragon Immortal Alliance had also joined this war?
It was still sowhat unbelievable.
Outside the gigantic city, a circular high tower was built, and above the tower, Yin and Yang Qi shone down. Everyone entering or leaving had to undergo the Yin and Yang Qi's illumination, capable of revealing even the eighteenth generation of ancestry.
Wang Wu observed for a long ti, watching six Taiyi enter and exit, seeing how they were illuminated and examined, and he knew that he couldn't fake it through.
While pondering his dilemma, he saw a spirit-catching ship flying out from the gigantic city, yet it wasn't the kind of spirit-catching ship known before. It had clearly been remodeled and not for catching spirits anymore, transford into a mobile fortress—faster, stronger, and with more fierce support capabilities!
About fifty Taiyi and around three thousand Earth Immortals stood on it, fully ard, brimming with killing intent, and all appearing very professional.
So what did this an?
Wang Wu was montarily stunned, then decisively followed, genuinely curious, believing that it might be an excellent opportunity to slip into the blockade grand array.
This was because the spirit-catching ship's entrance and exit required no illumination or inspection.
Initially, Wang Wu thought the spirit-catching ship was off to round up those Taiyi fighting in chaos. Unexpectedly, after a brief mont, the spirit-catching ship arrived in front of a gigantic city belonging to one of the forces and, without saying a word, blocked the surroundings and captured the land. Then, the leading Tier Eight Taiyi loudly announced: "By command, all Earth Immortals of Tier Two and above have duties and responsibilities to crusade against the Rebel Alliance! All Eternal Firm Immortal Artifacts must be unconditionally surrendered! Those who dare defy will be executed without rcy!"
Goodness, they were conscripting!
Not only conscripting but also conducting raids!
The importance of Eternal Firm Immortal Artifacts was undeniable, and they were extrely expensive, essentially the core of a gigantic city. Without the Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact, the gigantic city couldn't be maintained.
"Nonsense! You scoundrels' intentions are crystal clear to ; if you want the Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact from my Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance, co on, kill first!"
The city's chief was quite defiant, or perhaps had no escape route. Oh, and he was an acquaintance, the one who refined the Gu Spirit Pill—Yu Sheng. He was still at Taiyi Sixth Tier power; after two thousand years, there had been no progress.
However, he had a gigantic city to defend, supported by the Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact, well-prepared, and actually not much afraid of the opponent's Tier Eight Taiyi.
Yet he seed to have misjudged the situation, for he was not facing just fifty Taiyi and three thousand Earth Immortals but a modified spirit-catching ship.
The next second, brilliant lights burst from the spirit-catching ship, three thousand sails of the Three Calamities Long Sails unfurled, resembling sky-covering wings.
Then a dragon's roar echoed, and in the sky above, nine massive, jet-black, heavy Coiling Dragon Pillars suddenly appeared!
Each had a diater of three hundred miles and a length reaching three thousand miles, with twelve Cyan Dragons coiling atop.
The nine Coiling Dragon Pillars whistled down, causing Yu Sheng's face to change. He hurriedly activated the Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact of the city, but with a sound like a cicada's chirp, countless rays of golden light surged up, radiant as clouds, instantly transforming into nine giant blades, slashing toward the nine Coiling Dragon Pillars!
The sound of roaring resounded, and those nine giant blades of golden light could actually block the Coiling Dragon Pillars, albeit only just. The Coiling Dragon Pillars were evidently extrely solid, not injured in the slightest by the blades.
"Charge!"
At this mont, the Tier Eight Taiyi on the spirit-catching ship gave a cold shout, and the three thousand Earth Immortals aboard imdiately soared into the sky, glowing with corresponding teleportation radiance, all landing on the nine Coiling Dragon Pillars.
"Heave!"
In unison, they shouted, each gathering the Mountain Shifting Technique, aiding the Coiling Dragon Pillars.
This effect was imdiately apparent.
If these three thousand Earth Immortals were under normal circumstances, they wouldn't last a second against those nine giant blades of golden light, but at this mont, they exhibit an extraordinary effect, seemingly forming a special interaction with the Coiling Dragon Pillars.
Wang Wu observed from afar and saw clearly that the power of the nine Coiling Dragon Pillars was doubled by the presence of the three thousand Earth Immortals.
Can this be allowed?
The next second, those nine giant blades of golden light were crushed, scattering fragnts of golden light all over the ground.
Although Yu Sheng below reacted extrely quickly, imdiately controlling the Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact to transform the golden light into a giant shield to block the Coiling Dragon Pillars, on the side of the Spirit-Catching Ship, another thirty-six Taiyi landed on the Coiling Dragon Pillars!
This ti, there was no suspense. As white light flashed, the golden light wailed, and the nine Coiling Dragon Pillars rcilessly and without hesitation smashed into the city.
In such a terrifying impact, let alone the mortals in the city, even the Earth Immortals at the Tier Three level down to bacteria and insects were all reduced to ashes.
Only Earth Immortals above Tier Four and Taiyi could barely avoid it!
But avoiding it doesn't an they can escape. The mont the nine Coiling Dragon Pillars landed, they took over a radius of a hundred thousand miles, and any Taiyi trying to escape within this range found a virtual shadow of a Cyan Dragon on them, as if carrying a dragon as they ran, and this dragon even had reinforcents.
It was like a big kite that couldn't escape no matter how it flew.
Within a short ti, Wang Wu saw clearly that Yu Sheng was quick to react, running imdiately with extre escape speed, even shaking off the Cyan Dragon's shadow on his back.
However, in the next second, he was intercepted by a Tier Eight Taiyi, who quickly injured and captured him, tossing him directly into a cage.
In less than half a minute, the battle was over, turning the entire giant city into ruins, with the dead being dead, and the captured being captured, like slicing through vegetables.
At this ti, a team of Taiyi skilled in Artifact Refining descended from the Spirit-Catching Ship, swiftly dismantling and packing the Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact within the giant city, leaving no valuable item behind.
The cleanup was very thorough, as if they were adept at living frugally.
A few hours later, the Spirit-Catching Ship continued its journey, encountering similar giant cities with the sa ultimatum. Either agree to forced conscription and confiscation of property, or be violently dismantled with countless casualties.
It didn't matter which force it was, even the Chief of a city cried out, claiming to be the Sub-Pavilion Master of the Divine Wood Immortal Alliance, but it was useless, as they were taken down violently just the sa.
"Could it be that those twelve Daluo have all left the Cultivation Realm?"
Watching this scene, Wang Wu couldn't help but be curious, for only this possibility would make the Spirit-Catching Ship treat everyone the sa.
Besides, he noticed one most crucial point: the Nine Heavens Passage was gone, seemingly shut down or blocked. In any case, so far, he hadn't seen a single Nine Heavens Passage in operation.
This Cultivation Realm indeed underwent so drastic change.
Lastly, Wang Wu had a very ominous feeling because, after wandering around for quite so ti, he hadn't found the Twenty-four Solar Terms, nor had he seen a Spirit-Catching Ship chasing after it.
Without the continuous Spiritual Qi brought by the Twenty-four Solar Terms, all the cultivators in the Cultivation Realm, wanting to cultivate and train as freely as before, won't find it so easy anymore.
Having thought of this, Wang Wu did not hesitate any longer. He transford quickly, turning into a Civilian Earth Immortal, hiding within a giant city, waiting for the Spirit-Catching Ship to arrive.
His plan was to pretend to be caught and then seize the opportunity to slip through.
Unexpectedly, just as he snuck into the giant city and prepared himself to be conscripted, the Spirit-Catching Ship turned back, either due to lack of space on board or excessive Spiritual Qi consumption, requiring a return to replenish it.
"We must escape; staying here is a dead end. So many giant cities have been destroyed, and even the Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact can't hold them off. Now that the Spirit-Catching Ship has turned back, it's our chance to escape, fellow Daoists, we can't just sit here and wait for death!"
Soone in the city was loudly urging.
Over the past two days, giant cities were destroyed in plain sight, and everyone in the city, whether Earth Immortals or Taiyi, was terrified. Even the mortals were anxious.
At this mont, six Taiyi and over fifty Earth Immortals gathered in the city to discuss counterasures.
Interestingly, apart from the openly known Chief, the other five Taiyi had hidden their cultivation, just like Wang Wu, disguising themselves as Civilian Earth Immortals. Among them, two Taiyi were recognized by Wang Wu as the ones who had killed the Little Cyan Dragon and extracted its sinew.
It seems they too were left destitute, pursued with no escape.
"Are those Daluo just standing by and letting this chaos happen?"
A seemingly bewildered Civilian Earth Immortal who had just co out of seclusion asked.
His friend beside him gave a wry smile and briefly explained, "The twelve Daluo Golden Immortals have already left the Cultivation Realm. They shut down the Nine Heavens Passage, saying they were going to establish the Twelve Celestial Immortal Realms in the Outer Heaven. From now on, only Taiyi True Immortals that et their requirents are qualified to leave the Cultivation Realm."
"So those who were left in the Outer Heaven before were lucky?"
"What are you talking about? Wandering Taiyi in the Outer Heaven were either captured and executed or sent back. Now, it's the remaining six Half-step Daluo who hold sway in the Cultivation Realm. They each ford two new Immortal Alliances, one called Heaven-defying Immortal Alliance and the other Heaven-Breaking Immortal Alliance. They are dissatisfied and want to reopen the Nine Heavens Passage, but we are the ones suffering for it!"
