Chapter 680 Three Major Events
"Is it because of the good training?"

Xu Wei said with a sigh, "I wonder how long it has been since my brother and Sister Furong practiced the Great Music of the Intercourse of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, otherwise Sister Furong would have already achieved divine enlightenment."

She leaned her bloated body against Xie Huan, squinted her eyes and stared at him, stretched out her tone and said in a strange voice: "Brother can only see sister Furong entering the Nascent Soul stage, but can't see me entering the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Tsk tsk, no wonder, it's been so long, I don't know which girl out there has been taught by brother to become a god?"

"Ahem, just kidding."

Xie Huan used both hands to push away the greasy body and said, "Why don't you turn into something else? Why don't you turn into a fat pig? I'm going to be suffocated by all this fat."

"I'm going to squeeze you! I'm going to squeeze you until you can't breathe! I'm going to teach you to hate ugliness and love beauty. If I hadn't pretended to be rich, bold and difficult to deal with, you and your slaves would have been dragged out by the people from the Chamber of Commerce long ago."

Xu Wei angrily squeezed Xie Huan with her fat flesh, venting all her dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work. Thank you, sister Weiwei."

Xie Huan hurriedly comforted him, "Let's talk about something serious."

Xu Wei then stopped her actions and snorted coldly. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she turned around on the spot. A faint light flowed through her body, and her fat shrank instantly, transforming into a fair-skinned, bright and beautiful woman. Although it was still not her real appearance, it was four or five points similar to the real one.

"A lot of big things have happened in the past year or so. What do you want to hear about, brother?"

Xu Wei said seriously, with some seriousness and melancholy between her brows.

"Pick up what you think is important."

Xie Huan sat up straight and spoke calmly.

"Well, let's talk about the Ancient Beast Islands first, about the deep sea."

Xu Wei nodded, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "There are mainly a few things. The first priority is naturally the establishment of the Ten Thousand Islands Holy Alliance. With the Holy Island as the core, our tribe united all the forces in the territory to form the Ten Thousand Islands Holy Alliance to fight against the Sea Clan.

"The Holy Alliance nominated the nameless island master as the leader, with two deputy alliances under him, and then the elders' council composed of thirty-three elders, and then the council composed of the masters of the seventy-two spiritual islands, collectively known as the Holy Alliance's top leaders.

“In addition, various functional departments have been established, filled with personnel selected and transferred by the top leaders. The entire Yuanyanghai cultivation world has been mobilized to carry out large-scale unified operations.

“The second major event is the arrangement of the Zhenhai Xuantian formation.

“The Holy Alliance dispatched a large number of masters who are proficient in formations to the Ancient Beast Islands. They used their great magical powers to directly deploy 81 artificial islands to form the Xuantian Sea Suppression Formation, which blocked 20,000 miles of sea area and formed the first huge line of defense for our tribe against the sea tribe.

“Each island is guarded by a Divine Transformation cultivator. It is said that there are more than 300 Divine Transformation cultivators in the entire defense line, and there are even some at the end of the Divine Transformation stage.

"Currently, the monks sent to the first line of defense are mainly deployed by the top leaders of the Holy Alliance. The second is to recruit independent monks to fill the shortage of personnel. The ratio is about 50-50."

"Fifty-fifty?"

Xie Huan's eyes narrowed slightly as he repeated the ratio with a hint of thought in his tone, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xu Wei was stunned for a moment. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the ratio, but when she saw Xie Huan in deep thought, she started to think about it too.

"The monks of the Ten Thousand Islands Holy Alliance belong to various major forces. Whether in terms of overall strength, financial support, or combat training, they are stronger than independent cultivators. However, the proportion of independent cultivators is so high. There may be two reasons:
"First, the Holy Alliance is not united and internal strife is serious. Each party has many small ideas and is afraid that their own strength will be consumed. Second, there is no risk of a real war yet. Each faction is conserving its strength and letting these independent cultivators who are in need of money and food take over and consume the power for a while."

Xie Huan shook his head slightly, a faint bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

When he was just reborn, he was a cultivator at the lowest level, a three-nothing cultivator, and became a consumable by other evil cultivators.

"Brother's analysis is really amazing!"

Xu Wei clenched her right fist, clapped her left hand heavily, and praised with amazement, "That's right. Although there are constant conflicts on the front line, there has not been a real war. Even the Divine Transformation cultivators among the sea people rarely show up. It seems that they are using their numerical advantage to consume us. Those low-level species are being sent to die in waves."

Xie Huan suddenly remembered a saying, "In prosperous times, we are cattle and horses, but in troubled times, we are cannon fodder." He sighed softly and continued to ask, "Any news about the nameless island owner and others?"

"Not yet."

Xu Wei shook her head and replied, "There is a lot of news about Haidu and the Hidden Land, but they are all very fragmented and boring. They were brought out by the cultivators who have entered there, including the battles in the fragments of the fairyland, etc. I sorted them out, but they are of no use to my brother.

"As for the second-step cultivators such as Pan, Chao, the nameless island master, and the Corpse King, no news has been heard. There is also no news from the Tiangong Pavilion, Sister Yunli, and even Daoyin. Maybe the channel I use to obtain information is too low-end."

Xu Wei said helplessly.

There is no Yunshang Chamber of Commerce here, and they cannot reveal their identities. What’s worse is that they have no money, so they can only ask around every day. The channels for obtaining information are indeed limited.

"go on."

Xie Huan nodded.

"The third major event is the further civil unrest in the Merchant Alliance."

Xu Wei said in a low voice, looking somewhat lonely and worried.

"The party led by my father changed the name of the Merchant Alliance to 'Heavenly Path Alliance', implying that the path of heaven cannot be violated. Now, not only has he launched a full-scale trade dispute, he has also conquered seven first-level spiritual islands to form his 'Merchant Emperor' force.

"The alliance of Canglong Chamber of Commerce, Tianyi Chamber of Commerce, and Dongfang Chamber of Commerce is simply called the 'Potian Alliance'. The meaning is self-evident. They are also frantically recruiting troops, snatching resources, competing for trade routes, and engaging in various propaganda wars, framing opponents, and other means.

“The direct consequence is a surge in prices, especially the shortage of magic weapon materials and elixirs. The difficulty for independent cultivators to survive has increased dramatically. This is also an important reason why a large number of independent cultivators have been recruited and attracted to the Zhenhai Xuantian Array.

"Also, during this chaos, the black market became extremely popular, and the power of Shadow Market expanded rapidly. With the power of one company alone, it became the third largest force in the entire Yuanyanghai trade map, making the other two companies wary. However, no core conflict broke out. After all, the two business alliances are still regular businesses, at least on the surface, there is not much conflict with the business of Shadow Market."

“This is too messy.”

Xie Huan rubbed his temple and asked again: "The power of the Chamber of Commerce should not be underestimated. Didn't the Ten Thousand Islands Holy Alliance pull them in?"
