Chapter 1584: Chapter 1261: Success

The Heavenly Immortal of the Immortal Xia Sect tossed aside the demon cultivator’s corpse, devoid of its Spiritual Soul, with an ice-cold expression. The oppressive aura around him froze the nearby air currents, rendering them immobile.

“Exterminate all these demon cultivators, leave none alive!”

Although the cultivators present didn’t know what the old ancestor discovered, it was obvious that he was extremely furious. None dared to slack off, and they hastily took action to cut down the demon cultivators around them.

The great power himself left first, returning to Xiaxian Mountain.

The first thing he did was summon the elders.

“There is a very urgent matter that needs to be communicated to the other Immortal Dao influences immediately. Therefore, I plan to activate the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array.”

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the elders present suddenly changed.

The Sect Leader couldn’t help but ask, “Ming He, may I know the specifics of this urgent matter you speak of?”

Note that the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array is an immense formation that encompasses the entire East Continent!

One can imagine that activating such a formation requires enormous Spiritual Energy and a huge price.

Even a power as strong as the Immortal Xia Sect would feel the pinch.

Ming He relayed the secret he learned through special means to search the soul and then said, “This matter involves the entire East Continent Immortal Tao, even the Primal Spirit Realm. The strength of the Immortal Xia Sect alone cannot resolve it; we must have the cooperation of several major forces!”

“You’re right, old ancestor. We’ll activate the Heavenly Pillar Array now!”

Due to the significant consumption of the array, the key to activating the formation is divided into three parts, held by the Supreme Elders, Sect Leader, and elders.

This time, it was Ming He’s turn to guard the Immortal Xia Sect, so the key was naturally in his hand, which was why he had to summon the Sect Leader and elders.

The situation was urgent; not a moment could be wasted. Soon, they reached the core of the formation and quickly activated it.

With a buzzing sound, a massive pillar of light shot into the sky and then split into beams of light, darting towards various parts of the East Continent.

At this moment, if one looked down from high above the East Continent, they would see numerous light pillars lighting up — some dazzlingly bright, others faint and difficult to detect.

The former belong to major forces like the Immortal Xia Sect, Cave Abyss Sect, and Yumen He Family; the latter to some Earth Immortals, Human Immortals, and Loose Cultivator forces, including the Li family.

“What happened for the Immortal Xia Sect to activate the Heavenly Pillar Array?”

This was the first reaction of all the Immortal Dao influences upon seeing the formation activation, and they hurriedly went to the formation’s core to receive the message.

They all knew that if it weren’t for an extraordinary matter, the Immortal Xia Sect would never activate the Heavenly Pillar Array.

Then they learned that the demon cultivators were establishing Underground Palaces all over the East Continent, secretly attacking various living beings, using their blood, flesh, white bones, and souls to cultivate demon creatures — all to pollute Spirit Veins and alter the environment of the East Continent.

“Damn demon cultivators!”

“Are they insane? How is this different from polluting the Primal Spirit Realm? Don’t they fear the Heavenly Dao’s wrath will destroy the Demonic Tao directly?”

Even if sealing off those demon powerhouses, leaving low-level demon cultivators alive would lead to an excess of Yang and a deficiency of Yin, and an imbalance of Yin and Yang. Still, it’s better than letting these demon cultivators run amok, ravaging the world.

“Enough!”

An aged voice interrupted the crowd’s angry curses, “The Heavenly Pillar Array is not easy to activate; we should quickly discuss how to resolve this matter to prevent the East Continent and the Immortal Tao from suffering.”

“Elder Qing speaks truly.”

This Heavenly Immortal is extremely old, rumored to have experienced the late Ancient Times, so everyone held him in high regard.

“Currently, there is only one solution: to thoroughly inspect every corner of our own territory, find the demon cultivators, eliminate them, and destroy those demon creatures to prevent further trouble!”

“But this solution is only temporary. As long as the Demonic Tao has the methods to refine demon creatures, if they fail this time and proceed in secret in the future, how shall we know? We can’t just list this inspection method as a routine action; no force can sustain that.”

That’s what is commonly referred to as treating the symptoms but not the cause.

“What high opinion do you have then?”

“While the demon cultivators are currently targeting us, who can guarantee that if they succeed, their ambitions won’t expand further? Therefore, I suggest making this news public, letting the Divine Path, Human Dao, Devil Race, Sea Clan, Ghost Clan, and even those ancient remnant races in the Northern Domain know about it and gather all forces to jointly pressure the Demonic Tao, destroy this method, and vow never to allow its refinement again.”

“But will they participate as you say?”

Although other forces know of the Demonic Tao’s ambition, they know that currently, the Demonic Tao only targets the East Continent Immortal Tao, and this cannot be accomplished in a short time.

Moreover, in this process, there will be numerous intense battles and killings between the two sides. By then, both sides will suffer greatly, providing them with the perfect opportunity to grow stronger?

From the Immortal Tao’s perspective, that’s being shortsighted, but from their own view, it is preparing for their own growth.

Other cultivators also spoke up, offering their suggestions and views, but none gained others’ approval.

“Enough!”

Elder Qing spoke again, “There is no perfect solution, there will always be flaws and problems; at this rate, we won’t get an answer even if we discuss it for three days and nights.”
