Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 381 Protracted War

Beyond the Frozen Continent.

The two dragons, Ao Shan and Ao Tian, ​​looked at the creatures flying out of the teleportation array, and neither of them had a very good expression.

"Isn't this just some trash? With this stuff, it would be difficult to even conquer the mortal realm, let alone take down the Frozen Continent."

This kind of thing probably couldn't even deplete the Yi family's warships.

The old ice dragon's face was extremely grim.

The nine-headed dragon was the same, but it quickly sensed something. After carefully sensing it, it was overjoyed and said to the old ice dragon:
"These things are not entirely useless. At least they can slow down the human race's transformation of the Frozen Continent, and it's not bad to consume some of the Yi family's resources."

Moreover, we were all wrong.

The beings fighting us are not true spirits, but humans with weak bloodlines.

As far as I know, Yi Dong's lifespan is only three to five thousand years.

Even if he advances to the so-called Great Dao Golden Core stage, it usually takes him 30,000 to 50,000 years. With various methods to prolong his life, he will live for a little over 100,000 years at most.

Ten thousand years is nothing more than the time it takes for us to take a nap.

When Yi Dongshou passes away, those troublesome puppets and magical flying swords will probably no longer be under the control of other members of the Yi family.

Without those puppets and magical flying swords, even a mere warship can't stop us.

After all, the Yi family relies solely on the resources of the Frozen Continent to build warships, while our Dragon Clan possesses resources from all corners of the world, and the number of our warships is always limited.

It turned out that the Nine-Headed Dragon's attitude had changed drastically because it sensed that the Dragon Transformation Pool had already been activated and was operating on the Frozen Continent.

Originally, it was in a hurry to attack because it was afraid that Yi Yan would run away with the Dragon Transformation Pool, and then it would be helpless.

Now that Yi Yan has placed the Dragon Transformation Pool on the Frozen Continent, it is no longer in a hurry.

The Nine-Headed Dragon has planned to spend tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, in the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm against the human race.

After the Dragon Transformation Pool was lost, the Four Dragon Kings didn't care much about it in the Vast Sea Spirit Realm.

In the eyes of the Nine-Headed Dragon, even if Yi Dong advanced to the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage and his lifespan was practically endless, there was a high probability that turmoil would occur within the Yi family over such a long period of time, given that the human race is a short-lived species.

Even if the Yi family doesn't have internal problems, it's hard to say whether the Yi family will still be in control of the Frozen Continent after hundreds of thousands of years. After all, the human race is a short-lived intelligent species, which reproduces quickly but also rises and falls very rapidly.

If a large number of immortal cultivation families emerge within the human race of the Frozen Continent, chaos will inevitably ensue.

At this point, the nine-headed dragon no longer wanted to rush to the Frozen Continent to fight.

Seeing Ao Tian's sudden change in attitude, Ao Shan became even more furious, realizing that something must have happened on the Frozen Continent.

Among the human race on the Frozen Continent today, it is unknown how many are spies for various forces in the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm.

It's not just that the outside human race and the forces of the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm are colluding; even the human race from the Immortal Kingdom who originated from the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm has many whose true nature is hard to discern.

Humans, especially cultivators, are inherently selfish and self-serving; such things are unavoidable.

The fact that there are so many spies and instigators among the human race is mainly because Yi Dong doesn't care.

Once the Qingzhou Grand Formation is complete, all subsequent information will be recorded, and no spies will be able to hide from it.

When the time comes to settle accounts, Yi Dong will kill all those who have taken benefits from the forces of the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm or the powerful families, and take the benefits they have gained as spies.

Among the various forces in the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, the Ice Dragon Clan has the most spies, after all, the Ice Dragon Clan has been developing in the Frozen Arctic for so long, and has obvious geographical advantages. Next are the Four Seas Dragon Palace and the Nine-Headed Dragon.

The old ice dragon activated its spiritual treasure to check the latest news from the Frozen Continent. It found that there was nothing noteworthy in the various immortal cities. After thinking for a while, it quickly thought of the Dragon Transformation Pool it had refined in the Vast Sea Spirit Realm.

After all, the Nine-Headed Dragon only cared about the Dragon Transformation Pool that it had refined tens of thousands of times.

"So that's how it is. The Yi family didn't have the technology to untangle the connection between the Dragon Transformation Pool and the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm. It seems they activated the Dragon Transformation Pool on the Frozen Continent."

With that, Ao Tian was indeed no longer in a hurry.

That's it. Now that the Four Seas Dragon Palace isn't contributing and Ao Tian has no intention of attacking the Frozen Continent, the Ice Dragon Clan alone has little hope. Even if they succeed, the losses will be heavy, and they will find it difficult to establish themselves in the Vast Sea Spirit Realm in the future.

We can only wait and see what happens to the Yi family.

However, the most important thing now is to find the ice dragon that helped the Yi family suppress the Nine Heavens Ice Peak.

With this ice dragon present, the secrets our clan left behind on the icy continent may not be kept hidden for long.

According to Dragon Island's records, this time, no foreign dragons entered the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, nor was there any aura of a true dragon breaking through the boundary. Therefore, it was not brought by the Yi family from the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm.

This true dragon must have been recently born in the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas?

Has the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas already secretly made arrangements on the Frozen Continent?

True dragons have virtually no supernatural powers or secret techniques to enslave, and Ao Shan never imagined that the Yi family could forcibly enslave a true dragon.

There are naturally ice dragons in the Four Seas Dragon Palace, but because it suppresses ice dragons too much, the unsubmissive ice dragons are unwilling to face it. Ice dragons born in the Four Seas Dragon Palace usually go to the void or other worlds after they reach adulthood.

Aoshan recently confirmed that the Nine Heavens Ice Peak is guarded by an ice dragon, but the identity of that ice dragon is still unknown.

Thinking of this, Ao Shan felt somewhat helpless.

The area surrounding the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, is the most heavily guarded area by the Yi family.

The defenses were tight enough, but the key issue was that, apart from Yi Dong and his group, no other human could get close within that area. It had lost a large number of spies, yet couldn't even approach the Nine Heavens Ice Peak. It didn't even know the identity of the ice dragon on the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, so no matter how powerful it was, it had no way to deal with it.

Just then, the Nine-Headed Dragon Ao Tian continued:

"In the past, we blocked the human race from entering the Frozen Continent in order to reduce the potential of the Frozen Continent."

It seems that this approach needs to change.

In the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, many humans possess dragon blood. These humans are inherently subject to our dragon race. Sending these humans to the Frozen Continent to stir up trouble and weaken the Yi family's control over it is the right strategy.

"That's true. The Yi family has built so many cities on the Frozen Continent, and these cities need people to operate them."

Rather than letting humans of foreign bloodlines fill the area, it's better to let humans with dragon bloodlines move in and seize living space.

"The problem is, if we send humans, will the Yi family accept them?"

"Whether we accept it or not, we'll just send it over. In any case, humans are just one of the sacrifices in the Vast Sea Spirit Realm. Whether they are there or not makes no difference to us."

The two dragons quickly came up with a plan.

Soon, the two dragons arranged for their demon beasts to receive all sorts of cannon fodder creatures sent from all corners of the world, while simultaneously searching for humans throughout the vast spiritual realm.

The two dragons will not return the creatures sent by the Four Seas Dragon Palace. In their eyes, these creatures are just trash, but even trash has its uses.

Throwing them into the Frozen Continent would consume some of the Yi family's spiritual resources, thereby slowing down the Yi family's progress in transforming the Frozen Continent.

If the Yi family captures these creatures, that would be even better; the more diverse the creatures on the Frozen Continent, the better for them.

When it comes to migrating humans, the two dragons don't relocate all the humans from one place at once. Instead, they always relocate a portion of the humans from one place, leaving those who migrate with various attachments.

The two dragons also understood that not only human cultivators, but most beings who cultivate longevity have very detached emotions. Fortunately, they did not expect all the humans they sent to have any old feelings; it was enough as long as some humans thought of their roots.

Purple Mountain, three months after Yi Ling and the others left.

As expected, the war broke out again during this period.

At first, Yi Dong was a little nervous and didn't dare to go into seclusion. He was always ready to run away and even spent his daily life inside the Spirit Slaughtering Tower.

However, as time went on, Yi Dong began to have some doubts.

"What does the Ice Dragon Clan mean by this?"
Even with the aid of formations, those third- and fourth-tier demonic beasts and intelligent races cannot destroy even a single warship.

These creatures are utterly useless except for consuming the warships' firepower.

Yi Dong looked at the documents and images sent from the battlefield and fell into deep thought.

Originally, according to his plan...

The Vast Ocean Spirit Realm doesn't even need to unleash its full war potential. It only requires any one of the Four Seas Dragon Palaces to diligently gather its troops, and it will likely be able to drive itself out of the Frozen Continent.

However, the current situation seems to be somewhat unexpected.

"Could it be that the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas is afraid that I will reveal the coordinates of the Vast Sea Spirit Realm to the Immortal Kingdom after I leave?"

Yi Dong didn't believe that the dragons wouldn't have noticed the changes on the Frozen Continent. After thinking it over, this was probably the only possibility.

"However, the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm should not be afraid of the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm."

Although the combat power of the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm is far inferior to that of the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, the Dragon Clan is a powerful true spirit race in the void. With the Dragon Tomb, they can easily summon thousands of true dragons from the myriad realms of the void to provide support.

Why would they be afraid of the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm?

Does this mean that the opening of the Dragon Tomb is beyond the control of the Dragon Clan?
True dragons don't descend to provide support lightly.

Yi Dong's eyes flickered. Originally, he had no intention of revealing the coordinates of the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm to the Immortal Kingdom.

After all, he couldn't exchange for the precious knowledge within the Immortal Kingdom, but he didn't lack basic spiritual items.

The future of the Immortal Kingdom has absolutely nothing to do with Yi Dong.

However, now that the Four Seas Dragon Palace is wary of this, if I am really expelled, I might as well reveal the coordinates of the Vast Sea Spirit Realm to the Immortal Kingdom.

Yi Dong did this simply to make the Four Seas Dragon Palace suffer.

"Since the Four Seas Dragon Palace has no intention of expelling me, the transformation of the Frozen Continent can continue."

"Perfect timing! There are many intelligent races waiting to be captured on the battlefield. With these laborers, the Frozen Continent will soon become Azure Continent."

Yi Dong still harbored a sliver of goodwill towards humans; in his eyes, other races were no different from dirt.

This kind of thing needs to mine for itself while alive, and its soul will become material for the Immortal Emperor Banner after death.

Well, after talking with Yi Jun, Yi Dong roughly understood what the Immortal Emperor Banner was all about.

Ultimately, it is somewhat similar to the Ancient Cultivator's Myriad Soul Banner, only with a larger capacity and greater power.

The Immortal Emperor Banner is a supreme treasure acquired later in life. Yi Dong doesn't even have the technology to manufacture acquired spiritual treasures, so naturally he can't make it.

However, Yi Dong planned to have the Great Awakening Puppet be refined according to the Human Emperor Banner, refining it tens of millions or even more times, in case one day a flash of inspiration suddenly came and it was successfully refined.
