Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

"I agree with that. We can just continue to deal with it using the same methods as before."

This approach was met with nods of agreement from others, and even Fox Twenty-Four didn't see anything wrong with it.

Although there are 100,000 sea beast demon kings, with the strength of their palace, they only need to send out 1,000 people to slaughter most of them.

This is not arrogance, but rather a reflection of their genuine strength.

After all, the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Hall are positioned to be equivalent to ordinary high-level True Spirits and royal bloodlines among sea beasts.

Ordinary demon kings are no match for this group.

"You really think so?"

Luo Yan asked again, his tone unchanged, still standing with his hands behind his back.

"What does the young master mean?"

At this point, all the cultivators present noticed something amiss and dared not continue.

Given their young master's personality, he would never interrupt their opinions unless there was something fishy about the matter.

In other words, there must be some hidden story behind this matter that they did not consider.

Luo Yan did not explain, but instead shifted his gaze slightly, finally landing on the map of the void sea.

To the northeast, there was indeed a layer of mist, within which countless dark shadows clustered.

With a light tap of her finger, Luo Yan borrowed the power of the Ancient Mirror of Heaven, which quietly reflected all things.

The next moment, hundreds of king beasts of the horse-faced snake-fish clan suddenly appeared in the Void Sea Map.

This miraculous power of reflection shocked all the cultivators present, which is the most important reason why they had to leave a part of their consciousness here.

With the young master of the observatory taking action, no creature in any direction of the sea can escape being reflected and manifested.

It should be noted that there are many powerful beings among the sea creatures, and concealing their secrets and blocking the perception of their aura is a common practice.

Nevertheless, their young master was still able to perceive the specific conditions of each sea area.
The terrifying power involved is enough to send chills down the spines of anyone who knows the inside story.

Their young master is truly extraordinary!

"Killing a group of demon kings is easy, but completely wiping out this race is very difficult. The chances of you returning unscathed are also very small."

"You must remember, we are only here to aid the Wuchi lineage, to help them defend or repel the sea tribe's attack."

"Turning the tables and taking control is not a good habit."

Luo spoke softly, offering guidance to the cultivators present, prompting many to ponder deeply.

Luo Yan was teaching them how to save their lives, not to act rashly, and to consider their own safety as much as possible, even when war was imminent.

"As for the situation, we're just here to help. The main participants in this great battle are still the people from his Wuchi lineage."

"They haven't even considered taking the initiative, so why should we waste our energy?"

"Logically, it's not difficult to mobilize a thousand people, but the difficulty lies in ensuring that not a single person is killed or injured."

“You are all treasures of my Heavenly Mystery Hall. It takes at least fifty years for your second spiritual body to be formed.”

"If anything goes wrong, it could really mean losing your life."

Luo Yan gave an example to make predictions about the current war situation.

A person who only knows how to fight and whose mind is filled with killing is not suitable to be the leader of a powerful force.

Now that Luo Yan is in this position, he has to consider the needs of his subordinates. Showing off is fine, but there's no need for it if it doesn't bring any benefits.

His Heavenly Secrets Hall has no shortage of reputation!

No one knows how long this war will last—decades, a hundred years, or several hundred years.

Even a thousand years
Until the mystery is fully revealed, no one can guarantee that they will know the final answer.

Don't underestimate these 30,000 people; their strength is terrifying. Any one of them could easily dominate and be respected in the outside world.

But war is cruel. It will continue for a while, but if we extend the timeline, how many of today's 30,000 or so people will still be left in ten years?

What about a hundred years, or several hundred years?
Once this batch of Tianji Hall disciples is wiped out, will Luo Yan be left to fight alone in future wars?

At that point, he will most likely be stripped of his command and placed under the command of one of the Supreme Elders, becoming one of them.

Whether or not a fight breaks out, or whether or not it goes on until the very end, is none of Luo Yan's business; he can only carry out orders.

Therefore, in saving the lives of these Heavenly Mystery Hall disciples, Luo Yan was also saving himself.
"Does the young master mean that regardless of whether we kill these sea monster kings or not, this war is unavoidable and will continue?"

"After this batch is finished, will there be another batch?" a disciple from the Star Gazing Platform suddenly realized.

The reasons behind this are indeed straightforward, and since it concerns the lives of each and every one of them, it is far more complex than it appears.

After all, who can guarantee that they won't be one of those thousand people, or that their second spiritual body won't be destroyed by the sea beast king?
Once their second spiritual body is gone, if anything else happens to them, it will truly be the end, their souls returning to heaven.
No one is immune to the fear of death!
With a smile on his face, Luo Yan pointed out the essence of war and said meaningfully:

"The outbreak of a war often hides many deeper meanings, and is by no means as simple as the fighting and struggle on the surface."

"In the mortal realm, behind every war lies politics, or the continuation of a certain ideology."

"We are cultivators, a group of cultivators who defy fate yet follow the laws of heaven. But in essence, we are not much different from mortals."

When Luo Yan got to this point, you could see the confusion on many people's faces, while only a few people seemed to be deep in thought and had some understanding.

He knew very well that if even a small group of people could understand his words, then it wouldn't have been in vain.

A single spark can start a prairie fire; once an idea is born, others will naturally follow to expand it.

"In my opinion, whether it is the mortal world or the cultivation world, they actually have the same nature in certain operating rules."

"I do not expect most of you to know what you are fighting for, or what your reasons are for risking your lives to fight."

"But you must always remember this: the sea creatures cannot be exterminated. Even if the Horse-faced Snakefish clan is gone, the Multi-eyed Fish, the King Thief, and the Seahorse clan will appear."

"Therefore, even on the battlefield, maintaining a brief and delicate balance is a very important aspect."

You must learn to observe the situation.

There are some things that Luo Yan can't say too bluntly.

Someone in his position can't exactly use plain language to teach his subordinates to cherish their lives and hide behind the scenes, can he?

Therefore, Luo Yan spoke very tactfully, implying that once some people understood, the others would naturally change.

Looking back on past and present lives, the individual power in the True Spirit Realm is truly immense, capable of flying through the sky and plunging into the earth, overturning mountains and seas, and chasing stars and grasping the moon.
There are almost every creature that possesses such great power.

That is why the wars in the True Spirit Realm seem to lack a certain charm compared to the wars of the previous life.

It's very straightforward, very crude, and very thoughtless. It feels like both sides are pulling their own people out and then starting a group brawl.
It's so rough it's almost unbelievable!

At least in matters of war, while intrigue and scheming exist, they are merely superficial.

The 100,000-headed sea monster king is not scary; the Heavenly Mystery Palace can suppress it by mobilizing 1,000 people.

But this is a racial war, and many things cannot be judged by appearances alone.

This war is not a matter for one party or one force, but involves the strategy of four major directions: Tianmen Sea, Ying Sea, Feng Sea, and Chi Sea.

Since there are four directions of attack, there must be a need to deploy troops.

In addition, the number of sea creatures is endless. Not to mention the number of powerful sea creatures, the number of sea creature groups alone is in the tens of thousands!

With such a strong foundation among the sea creatures, it would be impossible to completely eradicate them without the combined efforts of dozens of top human forces.

From this, Luo Yan could roughly deduce a fact.

The more sea creatures killed in the four directions of Tianmen Sea, Ying Sea, Feng Sea, and Chi Sea, the more attention they will attract from other sea creatures.

After all, the area of ​​these four sea regions is limited, and the number of sea monsters and spirits they can accommodate is also limited.

The reason why so many sea creatures are appearing now is not because the sea creatures don't want to, but because the sea area is too large to contain them.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for one person to kill all the sea monster kings.

Since the sea creatures cannot be killed or exterminated, then we should selectively exert our efforts.

Luo Yan's idea was simple: maintain the existing pace of the war and continue fighting the sea tribes at a normal speed.

The Wuchi lineage was about to be overwhelmed, so the disciples of the Tianji Hall stepped in to help, not pressing their advantage but simply maintaining a balance.

Luo Yan knew without a doubt that once the Horse-faced Snake-fish clan was wiped out, the next sea clan to take their place would make a grand entrance within a day.

The problem is that during this process, there will be casualties among the people of the Heavenly Mystery Hall.

The advantage of the sea race lies in their sheer numbers; they are inexhaustible. If the people of the Heavenly Mystery Hall were to confront them head-on, wouldn't that be using their own spear against their own shield?

In the end, they are the only ones who get hurt.

Luo Yan wouldn't do anything that didn't bring him any benefit.

Keeping it as it is is fine.

Luo Yan's words also touched the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Hall below, who all felt the difference in the way this young master of the Star Gazing Platform handled things.

At the same time, one can also sense that this young master is genuinely concerned for their lives and safety.

Who wouldn't respect a leader like that?

"Alright, that's enough about this matter. I've already reminded you of everything I needed to."

"I believe you have your own ways of dealing with the invasion of those horse-faced snakefish."

Luo Yan nodded to Fox Twenty-Four. He believed that the guy understood what he meant and knew what to do next.

His position is sensitive, and there are some things he can't say too bluntly, otherwise it will cause a series of troubles if it gets out.

But when it comes to having subordinates carry out the orders, there are absolutely no problems.

Those were their thoughts and suggestions, and they had nothing to do with Luo Yan.

"Furthermore, it's one thing for the disciples of the Chibu tribe to say such things, but how come even people from your own Observatory can say such things?"

"I'm starting to wonder if you guys even have brains?"

Luo Yan looked straight ahead, her face full of disdain. They even claimed to be good at interpreting heavenly secrets, yet they were already trapped in a dead end without realizing it!
These words silenced all the disciples on the observatory below, who felt ashamed and instinctively lowered their heads.

They considered themselves wise men, with lofty ambitions, and looked down on the disciples of the Chi tribe, regarding them as a bunch of brutes.

One day he will die a violent death.

But after hearing what their young master said today, they were immediately moved. Without brains, how were they any different from the disciples of the Demon Clan?
After all, although his previous words were not straightforward, the meaning he conveyed was quite clear.

If they still don't understand, they don't deserve to stand here.

But it was precisely because they understood these words that the disciples of the observatory felt ashamed and embarrassed.

The scene before them was practically a scene where the young master was about to point his finger at them and yell: "Are you all a bunch of brainless idiots?"

"You must always remember that although this war is unavoidable, our Heavenly Mystery Hall must set an example."

"But there's one thing you shouldn't forget."

"You only have two lives, but this war will last for hundreds of years."

"In just two years, a small portion of you have already had your second spiritual bodies destroyed, losing your chance to save your lives."

"Then five years from now, ten years from now, fifty years from now."

"How many people do you think are still able to stand here?"

Luo Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's hearts like a resounding bell.

Those cultivators who have severed their own cultivation and firmly controlled their cultivation level between the Refinement Realm and the Integration Realm have a deep understanding of this.

Despite their extraordinary strength, there are many powerful individuals among the sea race, including some exceptionally talented demon kings with ancestral bloodlines who can fight them to a standstill.

They slashed their own bodies in the hopes of escaping the calamity of the True Immortals descending upon the world hundreds of years later, but the current war situation still made them feel uneasy.

If one is careless, one could very well die in this war.

At that time, all talk of the future and the path ahead will be nothing but fleeting clouds.

A puddle of foam.

After all, in such a major battle, the role that an individual's great power can play is indeed very limited.

After Luo Yan's reminder ended, the identity token space returned to silence.

Those disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Hall who were not required to participate in the battle for the time being still had their consciousness within the illusionary space, while the other disciples involved in the war became preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Like parting the clouds to see the sun, it gave us a clearer understanding of the future war situation.

"You're saying so much to them, it doesn't seem like you at all."

On an island, the faint sound of the exquisite pagoda drifted over and landed in Luo Yan's ears.

Meanwhile, outside, there were continuous tsunamis, sounds of fighting, and a blood-red mist that obscured the sky.

The battle continued, filled with the roars of magic, screams, and howls of beasts.
Like the deepest hell, the sound echoed through the heavens. (End of Chapter)
