Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 254 Preparing for War
Yi Dong controlled an origin crystal box to open, and a force of the celestial river floated from it towards the Huangtianxian vine inserted in the soil.

In the past, once the power of the Milky Way touched the white jade silver tree, its appearance would quickly become abnormally distorted.

Now, the power of the Heavenly River has been integrated into the Huangtian Immortal Vine, but the Huangtian Immortal Vine has not undergone any changes.

"Could it be that the power of the Heavenly River cannot cause the Yellow Heavenly Immortal Vine to twist and evolve?"

Just as Yi Dong was thinking this, he sensed that many fine tentacles appeared on the surface of the Huang Tianxian Vine.

After a while, dense tentacles covered that section of Huang Tian Xian Vine, making the Huang Tian Xian Vine on the ground look like a worm covered with tentacles moving irregularly. The strange appearance made Yi Dong feel uncomfortable.

It seems that even a seventh-level spiritual plant cannot resist the erosion of the power of the sky river.

Yi Dong was just wanting to see what changes the Huangtianxian Vine would undergo next.

However, he found that after a long time, there was no further change in the Huangtianxian Vine.

So, Yi Dong took out a few more strands of Heavenly River power and let the Huangtian Immortal Vine absorb them one by one, but there was still no new change.

"Forget it. Anyway, it has grown roots now."

Although those tentacles have the characteristics of flesh and blood, they can barely be considered the roots of the Huangtianxian vine.

After watching for a while, Yi Dong's consciousness left.

After Yi Dong's consciousness left for a while, the Huangtianxian Vine, which had not changed at all, suddenly had its tentacles on its trunk separate, revealing a large eyeball with a golden pupil.

The pupil of that big eye moved around, as if it was looking at the surrounding environment. After looking for a long while, it closed again and then the tentacles covered the eye again.

In the next few days, the tentacles of the Huang Tian Xian Teng buried in the soil continued to grow and spread around like a coil.

Ever since Yi Dong planted the Huangtianxian vine, he had wanted to observe its changes carefully.

But something unexpected happened, attracting his attention.

The fleets of ten second-rank families, which are the Tianjun family, the second echelon of meritorious families, rushed towards Qinghai from the direction of the provincial capital.

Yi Dong had long known that the appearance of sixth-level spiritual plants in Qinghai would attract forces from other states.

However, no one could have imagined that there would be ten second-rank families entering the scene at the very beginning.

Over the years, Yi Taizhen has bribed many immortal officials, so the Yi family also received general information about the fleets of the ten second-rank families.

"Each company has millions of warships, and each company's fleet is commanded by a Dao Yuanying."

Yi Dong put down the jade slip in his hand.

Dongfanghong and Mumu were both waiting for Yidong's reaction.

Seeing Yi Dong put down the jade slip and didn't speak for a long time, Mu Mu couldn't help but said:

“Based on the information we have gathered in the past few days, it has been basically confirmed that the target of the ten second-rank families is Yaochi Fairy Island.

Now, Yaochi Fairy Island is occupied by our Yi family, and they will definitely clash with us when they arrive."

Dongfanghong added:

“On the surface, these are the ten great second-rank families. In fact, there are also many ancient families who have secretly come to Qingzhou, and their target is also Yaochi Fairy Island.

In my opinion, we should avoid their attack and have our family members evacuate Yaochi Fairy Island."

"That's right. We have obtained most of the valuable things on Yaochi Fairy Island. Giving up Yaochi Fairy Island is nothing to us."

The ten fairy islands in Qinghai are very strange. Even with the exploration methods of the fairyland, it is difficult to find their traces.

Now only the Yao Chi Fairy Island is exposed, and Yi Dong naturally knows what the goals of those second-rank families are.

Yi Dong didn't listen to what Dongfanghong and Mu Mu said at all.

After all, Yi Dong never considered the losses of the Yi family, he was thinking about the cause and effect puppet.

“My orders to the Twelve Causal Avalokitesvaras are, first, not to let them massacre the mortals of Yaochi Fairy Island, and second, when facing the enemy, give priority to promoting those Causal Vajras to higher realms.

Originally, I was planning to make people from outside forces the sacrifices for the promotion of the Karmic Puppet.

However, the enemy now is much stronger than I expected. I don’t know if the Karma Puppet can stop them.”

Nearly tens of millions of warships would be enough, the most important thing is the ten Great Dao Yuanying.

Just the Dao Yuanying alone made Yi Dong feel a little unsure.

With ten Yuanying of the Great Dao, I’m afraid that the Yao Chi Fairy Island can’t be defended.

Yi Dong was considering whether to let the Cause and Effect Puppet kill the enemy in Qinghai as originally planned before leaving, or to let the Cause and Effect Puppet withdraw directly.

After thinking for a long time, Yi Dong made a decision.

This opportunity is rare, and it is worth it even if we lose some causal puppets in this battle.

If they miss this opportunity, when will the remaining one thousand or so Causal Vajras be able to be promoted to the realm of Arhat or even Guanyin? The remaining Causal Arhats are also in urgent need of sacrifices to be promoted to the realm.

Yi Dong is not a beast without bottom line. He believes that his values are normal and he would not do such a thing as killing innocent people. Therefore, even though there are hundreds of millions of human beings on the Yao Chi Fairy Island, he did not allow the Karma Puppet to start killing because they are not his enemies.

After making up his mind, Yi Dong looked at Dongfanghong and Mu Mu.

“There are tens of millions of cultivators in our Yi family. How can we retreat before the battle begins? You two should quickly refine the foundation-building pills and golden pills to help our clan members quickly improve their strength and go to the Qinghai battlefield.

It’s ok in other places, but in Qingzhou, let alone a second-rank family, even if it’s a first-rank immortal family where the immortal emperors of all generations are from, our Yi family has no chance of bowing down.”

Because of the Bu Tian Pill, the Yi family has very few mortals in the family. It can be said that there are as many immortal cultivators as there are family members, so there is no need to worry about lack of military force.

Dongfanghong saw that Yi Dong had made a decision and stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he said:
"During this period, many families in Qingzhou have been showing goodwill to our Yi family, either openly or covertly. It's a good opportunity for those noble families to send people as well, so that we can see which family in Qingzhou is truly following our Yi family." Mu Mu also said:
“Yes, but we can go further.

This is an invasion of Qingzhou by forces from other states. All the immortal cultivation families in Qingzhou have the responsibility to expel foreign enemies and defend Qingzhou. Our Yi family can form a coalition in the name of expelling foreign enemies.

If that family does not join the coalition, they will be expelled from Qingzhou after this battle.

Or maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity to have some of our family pretend to be foreign forces and eliminate those families that don't obey our orders."

Dongfanghong agreed after hearing Mu Mu's words, so the two discussed how to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate some opponents of the Yi family branch.

Ok?
The Yi family mobilized in full force, and Yi Dong's original intention was to help the causal puppet share some of the pressure.

Now, as Dongfanghong and Mumu chatted with each other, it seemed that the nature of the war had changed.

However, they both had good intentions.

Even if the Qingzhou coalition forces finally turned against the Yi family on the battlefield, it would not be entirely a bad thing. At least the coalition forces could be used as sacrifices for the karma puppet.

"Okay, the battle in Qinghai is now left to you."

Seeing that the two had made good analysis, Yi Dong didn't care whether they were just talking on paper and directly left these trivial matters to them.

After Dongfanghong and Mumu left.

Yi Dong looked towards the direction of Dajue Lingshan Mountain and transmitted a message to Taichu Zixing.

Soon, hundreds of warships carrying a large amount of resources flew from Zijin Mountain to Dajue Lingshan.

These resources are intended for those Buddhists who practice Buddhism and create magical instruments and treasures.

Dajue Lingshan.

Duo Luo looked at the warship docked in front of the mountain gate with a slightly cold look.

Before, Yi Dong wanted to get more than 30 million Buddhist practitioners from Dajue Lingshan to enter Qinghai to fight for him.

Duo Luo went to Zijin Mountain and argued with Yi Dong several times before the number was reduced to ten million.

Now that Yi Dong has brought so many resources over, it’s clear what the other party means.

Several old monks walked towards Duo Luo, and after performing a Buddhist salute, one of them said:

"Duo Luo Ming Wang, now that Taoist priest is forcing us to go to the battlefield again.

Our strength has not yet fully recovered, and if we go to the battlefield, the losses will be huge."

After reincarnation, Buddhist practitioners are basically in the Vajra realm, and now only a small number have recovered to the Arhat realm.

As for the realm of Avalokitesvara, there is only one person, Dora.

Duo Luo took a look at the Arhats and knew that they did not want to go to the battlefield.

If possible, Duo Luo naturally didn't want to go to the battlefield now.

You should know that every Buddhist practitioner who has reincarnated now had at least reached the level of Guanyin in his previous life.

These more than 30 million Buddhist practitioners are the foundation for Venerable Kashyapa to establish the Buddhist kingdom. The loss of even one of them would make her extremely uncomfortable.

However, the current situation is that Yi Dong forced them to go to the battlefield.

Obviously, the longer Venerable Kashyapa was away, the tougher Yi Dong's attitude towards them became.

Duo Luo didn't want to go to the battlefield, but this time, Duo Luo didn't intend to refuse Yi Dong.

She knew that Yi Dong could still barely maintain superficial harmony with the Buddhist practitioners of Dajue Lingshan.

If Venerable Kashyapa really encountered an accident in the void, Duo Luo had no doubt that Yi Dong would directly attack these Buddhist practitioners.

Moreover, Qinghai seems to have abundant resources.

With sufficient resources, these people can quickly recover their cultivation.

There is another reason why Dora wants to leave.

That is, she discovered that the Immortal Kingdom's Evil Suppression Bureau seemed to have also set its sights on the Dajue Lingshan Mountain.

Obviously, there has been no news from Venerable Kashyapa for a long time, and the ones who want to take action against them are not only Yi Dong, but also the Immortal Country's Evil Suppression Bureau.

Even though these Buddhist practitioners had their blood transfused and were nominally considered members of the Yi family, the immortal officials of the Evil Suppression Bureau clearly had no intention of letting them go.

Qinghai is not yet considered a fairyland, so it is just the right place for Buddhist practitioners like them to hide from the Evil Suppression Bureau and practice in seclusion for a while.

As for arriving in Qinghai, it was good enough that Duo Luo and his men did not launch a counterattack against the Yi family. It was completely impossible for them to help the Yi family fight.

Thinking of this, Duo Luo began to make arrangements with several Arhats.

If everyone wants to evacuate Dajue Lingshan, they must hide it from Yi Dong and Zhenxie Si.

Fortunately, Yi Dong’s method of monitoring Dajue Lingshan was to place several family gods around Dajue Lingshan.

The Evil Suppression Department has not yet officially arranged for gods to monitor Dajue Lingshan.

Trying to hide the mortal-born gods from the Yi family was nothing to Duo Luo.

Especially since she had just been promoted to the Guanyin realm, and Yi Dong had no idea about this news, which resulted in the fact that the gods monitoring Dajue Lingshan had not been replaced.

Following Duo Luo's orders, many Buddhist practitioners used the supplies sent from Zijin Mountain to refine pagodas and a large number of Buddhist magic weapons.
