Chapter 1703: Chapter 868: Top Strength of the Tianhe Realm

“When I entered here, I saw Zhu Jun and that demonic beast were unsealing, deeply fearing that the Poisonous Dragon would wreak havoc in the Mortal Realm, and worrying for the safety of the nine fellow daoists, in my haste, I directly got rid of her and the beast…”

Chen Mobai explained to Ye Qing, while Xiang Xieyuan and the others beside him listened with faces of gratitude, thankful for having bought a house in Northern Abyss City.

“Sect Leader Chen, this matter also requires you to accompany them on a trip with me.”

After collecting the relevant evidence, Ye Qing did not linger in the Eastern Wilderness, intending to go directly to the Golden Crow Immortal City, and have Chen Mobai confront Baiwu Ancestor with everyone.

The Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Sect usually allows both sides to explain their side of things when dealing with matters related to devil cultivators.

Chen Mobai understood this and nodded without hesitation.

With Ye Qing accompanying him, he didn’t believe that Baiwu Ancestor would dare to make a move.

If Baiwu Ancestor really had such courage, Chen Mobai would have to admire him.

Soon, the Five Elements Sect prepared a flying boat, and this group set off from Northern Abyss City, heading towards the Eastern Barbarians.

“If only there was a large-scale transmission array.”

On the flying boat, Yuan Zhen looked outside at the ruins’ environment, and unintentionally voiced a heartfelt wish.

“This is also what troubles me. The Eastern Wilderness, as one of the borders of the East Continent and adjacent to the ruins, holds quite an important strategic position. If the several Holy Lands plan to open up the wilderness in the future, without a large-scale transmission array in the Eastern Wilderness, moving resources and cultivators will be inconvenient.”

For the Five Elements Sect, the most important thing right now is having a large-scale transmission array.

This way, the Eastern Barbarians and Eastern Wilderness can be completely connected.

For Chen Mobai, the focus will definitely still be on the Eastern Wilderness in the future, needing to utilize the resources originally from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to enhance the local strength of the Five Elements Sect in Eastern Wilderness, but the ruins between the two areas are a great hindrance to this.

Even cultivators like Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen find the journey from the Eastern Barbarians to the Eastern Wilderness somewhat lengthy.

Let alone ordinary cultivators.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Sect is now powerful enough to ensure safe passage through the ruins.

Even so, transporting resources from the Eastern Barbarians to Northern Abyss City, unless a Golden Core Cultivator makes a direct run, typically takes half a year on average.

The solution to this, aside from a large-scale transmission array, is to develop and open a passage through the ruins between the Eastern Barbarians and the Eastern Wilderness.

Chen Mobai has always been advancing the latter, and as for the former, with the Five Elements Sect now having two Nascent Soul cultivators, it is qualified to purchase a large-scale transmission array from Taixu Miaomiao Palace.

Unfortunately, there’s no connection.

Chen Mobai doesn’t want to owe a favor to the Star Heaven Dao Sect, so he could only send Yue Zutao from the East Land to Taixu Immortal City to find the shop set up by Taixu Miaomiao Palace, but was told that only medium and small transmission arrays are sold there.

Large-scale transmission arrays, as strategic resources, can only be sold through introductions by acquaintances or guarantees by major forces, according to Taixu Miaomiao Palace.

Chen Mobai only knows Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen from the East Land, so when Yuan Zhen mentioned this matter, he naturally spoke up.

“Sect Leader Chen speaks rightly, I’ll check with Taixu Miaomiao Palace when I return.”

Ye Qing nodded. The Five Elements Sect, now a Nascent Soul major faction, meets the requirements for setting up a large-scale transmission array.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai gratefully thanked Ye Qing with a face full of joy.

He was very clear that with Ye Qing intervening, this matter was pretty much settled.

Next, the three of them talked about matters related to opening the wilderness.

The Golden Flame Manticore, located deep in the ruins, besides its powerful cultivation level, also possesses the true spirit bloodline of the Golden Lion Royal Court of the Demon Tribe.

Back when the Eastern Emperor Court fought fiercely against the Eight Great Demon Royal Courts led by the Nine-Headed Great Saint, three royal courts, including this Golden Lion Royal Court, were destroyed.

Though it was destroyed, many still fled into the vast ruins; this Golden Flame Manticore is one of them. By today, its bloodline has revived, capable of contending with Huashen Zhenjun.

The choice to open up the ruins where the Golden Flame Manticore resides was made with this in mind.

Because, in the ruins, this true spirit-blooded demonic beast loves preying on human cultivators, actively hunting them.

The event began when a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Dao Morale Sect went herb collecting in the ruins and was discovered and killed by the Golden Flame Manticore.

The Dao Morale Sect couldn’t tolerate this, so they, along with the Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Sect and Taixu Miaomiao Palace, launched a reclamation order under the pretext of refining the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, determined to skin and draw out the sinews of the Golden Flame Manticore.

“In the Lands of East Continent, the human race has two major threats: one is devil cultivators, and the other is the Demon Tribe.”

“Previously, our Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Sect was renowned for both slaying demons and devils, but after the tragic battle between the East Land’s Human Emperor and the Nine Great Saints, both sides needed time to recuperate, so our Holy Lands and the Imperial Court signed a non-aggression agreement with the remaining five major royal courts of the Demon Tribe.”

“Since then, our sect has been famous for slaying devils mostly, with seldom mention of demon-slaying.”

Upon hearing Ye Qing’s explanation, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. These are things only known to the major factions and Holy Lands of the East Land, such as the fact that the five major royal courts of the Demon Tribe each have a living true spirit bloodline, equivalent to the human race’s Huashen Zhenjun.

It’s precisely because of this that Eastern Barbarian cultivators dare venture beyond the Mysterious Sea.

In name, the Mysterious Sea beyond the Eastern Barbarians belongs to the Xuanjiao Royal Court’s territory, but due to the agreement, as long as human cultivators aren’t too excessive, gathering herbs, pearls, and minerals from the seabed doesn’t bother the Xuanjiao Royal Court.
