After the nurous tower ships of the Beast Taming Sect and the dense flocks of Spiritual Beasts flew into the fortress of Cave Heaven, the Ghost Controlling Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, two other great forces, also followed suit and entered.
Following them were the large-scale Flying Escape Treasures of the various dium and small Sects, carrying their own disciples into the Cave Heaven in succession.
However, the procession was truly too large; even though the Cultivators had extraordinary thods and their flying speeds were not slow, it still took more than an hour before all the Sect forces had entirely entered.
In truth, this was deliberately done by the Beast Taming Sect as a ans to deter the surroundings, to prevent others from harboring ill intentions towards the Beast Taming Sect or the Sects allied with them after their departure.
Otherwise, there were not just one exit to this fortress Cave Heaven but as many as eight that had been opened by them; if all were opened, it wouldn't take long for everyone to enter.
Now, with their actions, those Sects that had been sowhat restless would most likely calm down a lot after witnessing today's grand event and dare not act rashly again.
Unless this expedition army of Cultivators fell in its entirety outside, if soone indeed caused trouble in their absence, they would certainly not let it go upon their return.
In fact, even though the forces left behind by each Sect were far from their peak strength, through the alliance, the Sects had reached an agreent to support each other in tis of trouble.
This was one of the most significant achievents of the alliance; with this alliance in place, even if the Beast Taming Sect lacked manpower at present, Taiyi Mountain and the Giant Spirit Sect might not dare to truly co provocate.
The surrounding Cultivators who ca to watch the excitent, witnessing the grand Flying Escape Treasures laden with disciples from various Sects entering the Cave Heaven Fortress, were also swayed with emotion.
Such powerful forces, such imposing montum, indeed made countless Cultivators both shocked and regretful.
Regretful that they did not have the opportunity to join.
Otherwise, following the expeditionary army of the Beast Taming Sect to campaign in Otherworlds, they could certainly make a na for themselves and achieve great deeds.
Even a few Sects were secretly regretting; had they known this would happen, they should have fostered closer relations with the Beast Taming Sect from the start, perhaps they too could now be part of the Beast Taming Sect Alliance, going on expeditions to Otherworlds to obtain resources.
Unfortunately for them, being sowhat distant from the Beast Taming Sect and situated between it and a few other great forces, they felt there was no need to get too close to the Beast Taming Sect, lest drawing the hostility of other Sects made life difficult.
However, this apparently neutral stance actually pleased neither side, so they were very directly excluded by the Beast Taming Sect.
Within the Cave Heaven Fortress, the large Flying Escape Treasures of various Sects, under the guidance of the Beast Taming Sect Cultivators, landed in various places within the Cave Heaven World.
Here, as long as they did not extensively damage the terrain or destroy Spirit Veins, they were free to station themselves as they wished.
However, each Sect had its own stationing range; after all, this was the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of the Beast Taming Sect itself, and it was not possible for the Sects to act freely within the Cave Heaven, or it would not reflect the status of the main Sect of the Beast Taming Sect Alliance.
Of course, if they wanted to wander around the Cave Heaven on normal days, looking for so opportunities, they were also allowed to do so.
After all, aside from a few Spiritual dicine Gardens that the Beast Taming Sect had protected with Forbidden Techniques, there were no good treasures left in the Cave Heaven now.
After all, when they transford the Cave Heaven into a War Fortress, they had already taken away the truly valuable treasures inside; what was left were mostly common Spiritual Objects or ordinary Spiritual dicine, not worth a few Spirit Stones. Not to ntion the Supre Elders disdaining them, even Cultivators with slightly higher Dao Cultivation did not value them.
However, if so ordinary disciples found them, it would still count as a little extra surprise for them.
The Cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect occupied the largest Spiritual Mountain in the center, also the place with the most abundant Spiritual Energy after the Supre Elders had integrated the Spirit Veins of the Cave Heaven World.
On the highest Moyun Ridge, there was a grand hall, which was the place for quiet cultivation of several Supre Elders.
Of course, the fundantal purpose of this Cave Heaven was for warfare, so they hardly had any ti for Cultivation here; it was more often used as a place for discussions with the leaders of other Sects.
Not far from the Beast Taming Sect, on several mountains, the Cultivators of the Ghost Controlling Sect and the Five Poisons Sect were stationed respectively.
The outer periter was occupied by the remaining Sects.
If a cultivator were to fly high into the sky, they would notice that although the various sects' settlents are scattered, they are not without pattern, but rather spread out gradually in the shape of the Eight Diagrams.
This was deliberately arranged by the Beast Taming Sect. When several Supre Elders re-examined the Spirit Vein and transford the Grotto Heaven, they had specifically discussed how to arrange for the sects' cultivators when they entered.
At the suggestion of Elder Gui Ling, when they combed through the Spirit Vein, they also slightly moved the mountain ranges and rearranged them according to the Eight Diagrams orientation.
That is to say, the mountains within the Cave Heaven World aren't too vast, so when they deployed their Supre Divine Power to move the mountains, it didn't take much effort. If the mountains were as massive as those where the Beast Taming Sect was located in the Manghuang Mountain, they would not have been able to move them.
Qin Feng and Liu Xuanling followed behind their master, and after Ning Wuxu had settled the disciples of the Spiritual Snake Lineage, he then took his two disciples to a palace that belonged to him.
This palace was actually a Magical Treasure. When those Supre Elders transford the Grotto Heaven, they would not ask the disciples to do such heavy labor. If they wanted a palace, they'd have to build it themselves.
Ning Wuxu did not want to go to the trouble, so he simply procured a palace treasure and placed it here.
Even his disciple Liu Xuanling had the chance to obtain his own palace. Given his status, identity, and Dao Cultivation, he would naturally not be lacking in such items.
In fact, cultivators from various sects all have more or less such treasures, whether they be palaces, towers, or mansions, they are nurous and varied.
After all, the elders of the sects are people of status; they cannot be expected to crowd into tents with their disciples.
"This ti, the alliance of the various sects is embarking on an expedition to the Void Otherworld, aside from our Beast Taming Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, the Ghost Controlling Sect, there are sixty-four small and dium sects."
Ning Wuxu sat in the main seat and looked at the two disciples in front of him and said, "Among them, our Beast Taming Sect sent eight Supre Elders, and the Five Poisons Sect and Ghost Controlling Sect each dispatched five Supre Elders. From the remaining small and dium sects, fifteen have Supre Elders who will also join the expedition, adding up to thirty-three individuals who have reached the Immortal Dao."
"Master, you ntioned before to your disciple that the number of Divine Demons in a dium World varies, with as few as a dozen or as many as potentially hundreds. Are the Supre Elders on our side a bit too few?"
Qin Feng expressed his hesitance, "In the event we encounter a strong dium World, wouldn't that be…"
"Hehe, don't worry."
Ning Wuxu laughed, "Do you think the Art of Prediction of Ancestor Gui Ling is for nothing? The ancestor has long since made several predictions, roughly estimating the strength of the opposition's world. Although there is bound to be so deviation, the difference should not be too great.
Even if there are many Divine Demons in the otherworld, we will not fear them. Moreover, this ti, we have dispatched five Profound Immortals."
"Five?"
Qin Feng gasped in surprise, "That many?"
"Indeed."
Ning Wuxu said, "Besides Ancestor Gui Ling and Elder Kongkong of our Beast Taming Sect, there's also Elder Heavenly Spider of the Five Poisons Sect, Xia Chunyang, the Five Ghost Heavenly King of the Ghost Controlling Sect, and the Fiery Fire Ancestor of the Fiery Fire Sect from Fire Cloud Mountain—altogether, five Profound Immortals.
Besides the Fiery Fire Ancestor, who has rather singular thods, the other Supre Elders certainly have their own unique abilities."
Seeing his disciple's eyes widen in anticipation of what he would say next, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Can't you guess that? Our Beast Taming Sect specializes in Beast Taming. The two Supre Elders have survived since the end of the Ancient Great Tribulation; during such an extended period, they must have nurtured potentially powerful Spiritual Beasts.
The Five Poisons Sect is renowned throughout the world for its techniques of poisoning and placing Poison Insects. Elder Heavenly Spider's Lifebound Poison Insect is a Heavenly Spider Poisonous Insect that has been nurtured for tens of thousands of years. Its venom is incomparably deadly, and it possesses other miraculous abilities.
In addition, he must have many powerful Poison Insects on him. Even a Profound Immortal of the sa realm must be careful and cautious when encountering such a being, or they will find themselves at a disadvantage in an unguarded mont.
As for the Five Ghost Heavenly King of the Ghost Controlling Sect, his thods are even more remarkable. It is rumored that he has refined five Heavenly Ghosts, equivalent to the realm of a Heavenly Immortal—just imagine how formidable that is.
The Supre Elders of our three major sects should not be regarded as ordinary immortals; they are much stronger than those from small and dium sects. With so many powerful beings, there's no need for you to worry about anything, is there?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng imdiately relaxed quite a bit.
After thinking for a mont, he asked again, "Master, I heard earlier from the Gui Ling Grandmaster that if one establishes sufficient rit in the otherworld, one might be blessed with Qi Fortune by the Heavenly Dao. Is this true or false?"
Upon hearing this, even Liu Xuanling, who was nearby, beca interested.
Clearly, if there really was a chance to be blessed by the Heavenly Dao's Qi Fortune, she would not want to miss it.
"Of course it's true."
Ning Wuxu glanced at his two disciples and shook his head, "However, don't get your hopes up too high. Gaining favor from the Heavenly Dao is not so easy.
It's not about killing a certain number of powerful enemies in the Otherworld, as that's not directly related to our world's Heavenly Dao.
To be favored by the Heavenly Dao, you must do sothing beneficial for our own world."
"What kind of actions would be beneficial for our world?"
"The best way is to obtain a significant amount of Treasures from the Otherworld to supplent our world's Heavenly Dao Origin. Doing so will surely gain you the favor of the Heavenly Dao."
Ning Wuxu smiled faintly, "Secondly, for example, if you could slay powerful enemies during an invasion from the Otherworld, you would also receive the Heavenly Dao's Qi Fortune."
This left Qin Feng and Liu Xuanling looking at each other in astonishnt.
Enemies capable of crossing the Endless Void to invade the interior of the world were not within their ability to confront.
And as for ordinary invaders that they could handle, it was unlikely they would elicit much response from the Heavenly Dao.
"I thought Gui Ling Master had pointed us to a shortcut in cultivation, seems like it's unfeasible."
Qin Feng sighed, "Well then, disciples will just concentrate on their cultivation honestly."
"Hehe..."
Ning Wuxu laughed, "Let alone you, even your master currently has no chance of such an opportunity, so you better not indulge in such daydreams."
While they were talking, the various Sects outside had also nearly finished their preparations.
Just then, the sky suddenly brightened.
Qin Feng curiously looked outside and after a while, he realized that the sky of the Cave Heaven World had turned transparent, allowing the light from the outside world to enter.
Above the Cave Heaven World was originally the shape of a fortress, which was moved to the outer layer of the Cave Heaven space by several Supre Elders, and this was the scene they had seen before they entered.
If needed, the cultivators inside the Cave Heaven could rapidly move to the fortress to battle with external foes.
At this mont, the fortress still hung high in the sky, but the other directions were unobstructed. Looking far out, one could clearly see the scenery outside the Cave Heaven.
Of course, one must have a profound cultivation and strong vision to do so.
Ordinary cultivators could at most see the sun outside and the distant mountains.
In the grand hall above Moyun Ridge, the Gui Ling Ancestor and the Supre Elders of various Sects had gathered here.
They had extrely sharp eyesight and could easily see far-off scenes, even the many cultivators not far from the Cave Heaven outside were clearly visible.
"Gentlen."
Gui Ling Ancestor spoke softly, "Now that everything has been arranged, let's set out."
"Good!"
The other Immortals from various Sects nodded in agreent.
By this ti, it was not allowed for them to withdraw, as it would definitely have a significant impact on the morale of the expeditionary forces.
Gui Ling Ancestor glanced at Elder Kongkong.
Elder Kongkong understood and slightly nodded. With a flash of Spirit Light from his hand, the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm trembled and then began to rise slowly.
At this mont, a multitude of cultivators outside, who were curiously surrounding the War Fortress, suddenly felt the massive fortress before them shake.
Then, the fortress took flight.
The disciples of the various Sects inside the Cave Heaven did not feel much, but the cultivators outside felt an imnse and powerful presence.
Although the fortress did not make any other movents, rely taking off.
But the re movent of the hundreds-of-miles-large War Fortress stirred up an incredibly strong Gang Wind.
As the movents of the War Fortress beca faster and it rose to the clouds above with just a few motions, it reached beyond the clouds.
The howling Gang Wind tore through the surrounding clouds, and the cultivators below could only watch as the fortress flew higher and higher. Even at tens of thousands of feet in the air, the silhouette of the fortress remained distinctly visible.
High above, at ninety thousand feet, a crack suddenly opened where the Biluo Great World connected to the outer Void.
From below, it appeared to be nothing more than a small fissure.
But it was through this seemingly insignificant crack that the hundreds-of-miles-large War Fortress easily passed.
It wasn't until after the War Fortress had left that the crack gradually healed. After a while, it would probably disappear without a trace.
"They've left!"
A few cultivators observing in secret watched the War Fortress that had already entered the Void above and the world's mbrane that was healing.
"Should we strike now and give the Beast Taming Sect an early headache?"
"Do you have a death wish?"
Another voice coldly scoffed, "The Beast Taming Sect just dispatched those people and is currently on high alert. Making trouble at this mont is seeking death, do you really think there's no one left in the Beast Taming Sect?"
"We could target a few smaller Sects to weaken their alliance."
"Don't be foolish, leave that to others. We must not personally intervene in these matters."
"Why?"
"Now that the Beast Taming Sect Alliance is fully ford, if you strike against their allies now, it will surely be traced back to us. If they trace it all the way back here, the Beast Taming Sect is likely to mobilize a large force again in collaboration with other Sects to deal with us.
Although the strength of the other Sects is not as it was before, they will be more united at this ti, so it's best for us not to stir up trouble personally."
"What's there to fear? Now that the Old Turtle has left the Beast Taming Sect, and even Elder Kongkong, that big rat, has also gone with him. As long as Jue Tian doesn't personally take action, we don't have to worry about any serious danger."
"Hmph, how do you know Jue Tian won't take personal action? Once that old ghost loses his temper, he becos ferociously unpredictable and wouldn't care about the consequences. If we really get caught by him, do you think either of us could escape with our lives?"
"Alright then, let's find soone else to do it."
The voices faded away, silent and traceless, and no one knew that soone had been there.
