It's time to become a fairy.

"We will be in constant contact with representatives from the other three directions for the next three days to inquire about the situation and make appropriate adjustments until the demonic tide ends."

"This is the latest detailed plan for this operation..."

The demonic tide of the Blood Moon Day did not attack from one direction. All directions of the Yankang Divine Dynasty would be the focus of the demonic tide's attack. However, in other directions, the Yankang Divine Dynasty had almost pushed its national border to the edge of the world, so it did not suffer much from the demonic wave. In comparison, the southern region, which was under the control of the Taicang Sect, was the main target of the demonic wave's attack.

During the years that the Taicang Sect has suppressed the southern region, demonic cultivators have never once broken through its borders, remaining firmly blocked outside the borders of the Yankang Divine Dynasty. This is one of the key reasons why the Taicang Sect has consistently maintained its position as the leader of the righteous path. No other sect has achieved such a feat!

During Ye Qingge's cultivation period, all the elders, protectors, and even countless disciples have been dispatched to guard various important locations. Except for a few elders, protectors, and disciples who remained, they have all left this place.

Only Ye Qingge, because she wanted to break through the final barrier between Celestial Immortal and True Immortal, lingered for a while. Unable to break through even in the final moments, she embarked on her journey, becoming the last of the Taicang Sect's high-ranking members to leave. This meeting was convened to finalize and confirm the border arrangements before the arrival of the demonic cultivator wave on Blood Moon Day, in order to prevent any problems from arising.

Ye Qingge received the illusory diagram of the array projection and carefully examined it. While listening to Shen Fengyu's gradual explanation, she mentally sought guidance from Feng Lingxiu. Ye Qingge didn't know much about complex matters like troop deployment, but Feng Lingxiu seemed extremely knowledgeable in this area, so she simply entrusted the matter entirely to Feng Lingxiu's judgment.

One hour later

After Ye Qingge finalized the basic strategy for this great battle and completed the final review before the battle, Feng Xiling smiled and said, "Besides the battle arrangements being finalized, the number of disciples in Yun Yaozhu who have achieved the Spirit Platform Immortal Realm has been tallied, and the number is terrifying!"

Ye Qingge raised her head and asked curiously, "How many Immortal Realm disciples did Yun Yaozhu give birth to in our Taicang Sect this time? How many could Elder Feng find terrifying?"

"A total of one hundred and twenty-three!"

Feng Xiling's words were astonishing.

"so much!"

Even Ye Qingge's eyelids twitched violently the moment she heard the number, and she exclaimed in shock, "A full one hundred and twenty-three disciples at the Spirit Platform Immortal Realm? I remember that before this, even with the accumulation of my sect over many years, the number of immortals and gods above the Dao Realm was only eighty-seven!"

Feng Xiling nodded and smiled, "This number seems like a lot, but it's actually just a burst of talent from the disciples. Originally, there were indeed only eighty-seven immortals above the Dao Realm in my sect, but the number of disciples stuck at the hurdle of becoming an immortal was in the hundreds, and the number of disciples at the Refining Void and Merging Dao Realm was as high as a thousand."

"Our old cultivation system has extremely high requirements for talent, and it is far less effective in developing physical potential than the new system. The new system emphasizes the accumulation of knowledge and skills before unleashing them. Although there are more realms than the old system, it also differentiates the difficulty of becoming an immortal. Reaching the Spirit Platform Immortal Realm is the time when one has accumulated knowledge and skills before unleashing them, and many disciples take this opportunity to step into the Immortal Realm in one fell swoop."

"Many disciples who had given up on cultivation heard about the power of the new Daoist method and abandoned their cultivation to try their luck. In addition, the Yun Yao Pearl that the Holy Master took out was really powerful, which is why we have such amazing data."

Even so, it's still amazing.

Ye Qingge took a deep breath, digesting the shocking news: hundreds of Lingtai Immortal Realm beings—what did that even mean?

Every immortal in the Spirit Platform Immortal Realm has the strength to fight against a second-level Dao Realm expert. This is equivalent to the Taicang Sect having more people who can influence a war. With the Blood Moon approaching, this news is definitely a heavyweight piece of good news, enough to lay the foundation for victory in the battle!

Feng Xiling spoke calmly again, "But this is only the beginning. In addition to this incident, the elders of our sect who were previously seriously injured have finally broken through their seclusion. In this Blood Moon War, our Taicang Sect has gained another fighting force!"

"besides……"

One piece of news after another came from Feng Xiling, all rare good news before the battle. For example, Ye Qingge's cultivation method had been fully implemented in the sect, and the entire Taicang Sect had no fewer than 280 cultivators at the Flying Immortal Realm, nearly a thousand at the Spirit Embryo Realm, and many more at the Five Gods Realm…

In a short time, the new method has stirred up countless waves in the Taicang Sect. With the help of Yun Yaozhu, the entire Taicang Sect has begun to undergo a complete transformation. If it weren't for the fact that the elders' cultivation had already reached the fourth level of the Dao Realm and there was the threat of the Blood Moon Day, many elders would probably have chosen to abandon their cultivation and start cultivating the new method again!

And this is only the change within the Taicang Sect. After Emperor Yuye and the sect leaders of many righteous sects returned to their own sects, the storm brought about by the new law has only just begun!

Under Emperor Yuye's vigorous promotion, many ordinary people in the Yankang Divine Dynasty have begun to practice and come into contact with the new cultivation methods. Those who were originally eliminated due to their aptitude have had their hopes of embarking on the path to immortality rekindled, and more and more people have begun to try the new cultivation methods.

Among these, the southern region, where the Taicang Sect was mainly stationed, was the main focus. The entire southern region was led by the Taicang Sect. With the tireless propaganda of many forces, almost everyone in the southern region who had been eliminated by the old cultivation system due to their lack of talent began to try the new cultivation methods, and most of them had already entered the meditative state.

"The seeds of the new law have been sown. Judging from the current situation, with vigorous promotion, it will take no more than ten years for this seed to take root and sprout on the land of the Yankang Divine Dynasty, growing into a towering tree and providing a continuous stream of fresh blood for our righteous path. More importantly, the people on the verge of the demonic territory will finally have the power to protect themselves and will no longer need to worry about the demonic path's possible raids at any time!"

Feng Xiling spoke with great enthusiasm, and together with the other elders, reported to Ye Qingge the latest intelligence gathered by the Taicang Sect during her seclusion.

The meeting was already more than halfway through, and the remaining briefings would take less than half an hour before it came to an end.

The last elder finished his concluding remarks, and just as Ye Qingge was about to end the meeting, a familiar chill swept over her once again.

This chill was much stronger than ever before. In an instant, Ye Qingge felt as if she were a small boat on a vast ocean, about to be capsized by the waves of the chill. At the same time, a warning flared up in her heart, as if something big was about to happen.

"Xiaoxue, where are we now?!"

Ye Qingge activated another part of the formation's function by making a hand seal with one hand, and transmitted the sound to her cousin Feng Mingxue, who was riding in the carriage next to the imperial carriage and traveling with the group.

Soon, Feng Mingxue's voice came over: "Reporting to the Sect Leader, we have only traveled less than a third of the way. We are currently within the territory of the Qianqing Sect, which is under the jurisdiction of the Tiancang Sect. Not far ahead is the Phoenix Cry Valley, which is the border with the Changsheng Sect... What's wrong?"

"Tiancang Sect, Phoenix Cry Valley... Damn it!"

Ye Qingge suddenly realized something, reached out and slapped her spiritual ring, and a map of the southern region of the Yankang Divine Dynasty was unfolded. When she saw the terrain of Phoenix Cry Valley, her pupils shrank, and she looked sharply in Feng Xiling's direction and asked, "Elder Feng, you just said that my sect has given birth to hundreds of Spirit Platform Immortal Gods. How many of them are near me?"

Feng Xiling also realized something, and her expression became serious. After asking the disciples beside her, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Many of the disciples who have entered the Spirit Platform Immortal Realm set off not long before the sect leader. There are as many as fifty-seven immortals who can arrive at the sect leader's location in less than half an hour. Do we need support?"

"Yes, I need to gather all the nearby gods and immortals to me. I feel..."

Ye Qingge spoke urgently, but before she could utter the words "there are enemies," the surrounding phantoms suddenly blurred, as if some unknown interference had occurred, and they all abruptly collapsed and dissipated.

At the same time, a huge roar came from the front, and a terrifying shockwave suddenly swept through the entire procession. Ye Qingge felt as if the entire palanquin was being swept away and overturned by a powerful force, and countless staff members cried out in alarm.

Ye Qingge's pupils contracted slightly, and she suddenly flew out of the carriage, looking ahead.

What comes into view is a huge canyon, where howling winds create a sound like the cry of a phoenix, hence the name of the canyon.

At this moment, at the front of the convoy

More than ten figures suddenly rushed out from their hiding place, blocking the way for everyone to reach the border. They released terrifying demonic energy, and each of them was actually at the Dao Realm level, each one a Dao Realm demon god!

Among them, a three-headed, six-armed demon god at the fourth level of the Dao Realm charged at the forefront, wielding a massive, door-sized blade with one arm, and slashed fiercely down at the group. Instantly, the crisscrossing blade energy caused the void to tremble slightly, and even though the blade energy did not touch the ground, the entire ground was cracked open, creating a huge fissure tens of meters deep.

A terrifying blade of light attacked the group, splitting them in two. The disciples at the front didn't even have time to fight back before being killed by the blade energy.

"Three demon gods at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, four at the third level, and ten demon gods at the second and first levels... What a fine Heavenly Cang Sect! They really have impressive methods!"

Ye Qingge was so angry that she laughed. She really didn't expect that the Tiancang Sect would do such a thing so blatantly.

The demon has entered!

This is a grave betrayal of the entire righteous path. If these demon gods were to launch a sudden attack from behind, it would tear through a defensive line, potentially causing the entire southern region to collapse. Having witnessed the Tiancang Sect's actions in later generations, Ye Qingge had assumed that while the Tiancang Sect might have problems, they would at most remain within the power struggles of the righteous path. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to continue until the Yan Kang era, thirty thousand years later. But she never expected them to be so audacious!

"It seems that the Heavenly Azure Sect is no longer necessary..."

She made a ruthless decision in her heart.

Beside her, Feng Mingxue's figure rapidly approached, and she cautiously asked, "Holy Master, should we retreat...?"

"No need to retreat, just fight our way out. I'm quite curious about their purpose in blocking our path to the border with so many demons blocking our way."

Before Feng Mingxue could finish speaking, Ye Qingge interrupted her.

She revealed a slightly excited smile and said, "Since entering the Spirit Platform Immortal Realm, I haven't had a proper battle yet. Let me see what these guys are capable of!"

If the lineup of three fourth-level Heaven cultivators, four third-level Dao cultivators, and a full ten Dao-level demon gods had been present before, Ye Qingge, who had just finished preaching, would have turned around and left without hesitation, waiting for the immortals and gods of the Taicang Sect to gather before turning back to deal with these demon gods.

However, Ye Qingge is now different from before, having already reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm!

With the blessing of the fifth level of the Heavenly God Transformation, her strength has already reached the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm. The Spirit Platform Immortal realm is inherently stronger than the ordinary Dao realm. Coupled with her perfected righteous energy and various methods to restrain demonic cultivators, it is uncertain what level of demonic cultivator she can defeat.

"Disciples of the Taicang Sect, listen to my command! All of you, form ranks and prepare for battle!"

With a low shout, Ye Qingge ordered everyone to form a battle formation. A sharp sword appeared in his hand, and after activating the fifth level of the Heavenly God Transformation, he charged out without hesitation.

The leading demon god at the fourth level of the Dao Realm also noticed Ye Qingge's actions. He sneered and said, "The Celestial Immortal Realm is equivalent to the sixth level of the Dao Realm? I've heard you have the strength to fight against a fourth-level Dao Realm expert. Let me see just how much strength this little yellow-haired girl really has!"

He roared, and the weapon wielded by his three heads and six arms floated up, seemingly unleashing a special battle technique. A surge of surging demonic energy erupted from him, causing the temperature of the entire world to plummet. Countless frosts surged from the mountains and land below, freezing the moving flowers, birds, fish, and insects before they could react. Endless frost power erupted from the weapon held by his six arms, hurling it towards Ye Qingge's spirit sword.

Ye Qingge remained calm, gathering all her strength into the tip of her sword, and thrust it towards the demon god.

bang

A terrifying sound resounded, and the surging power swept in all directions, instantly uprooting countless plants in the canyon and turning an area of ​​more than ten kilometers into a desolate wasteland. Among the Cang Sect disciples who followed closely behind, those with weaker cultivation were almost unable to stand, but fortunately, they had formed an array in time, so they were not seriously injured.

Once they regained their footing and looked back at the battlefield, Ye Qingge had already charged into the midst of the demons, while the demons who had been at the forefront remained motionless in mid-air.

"This demon..."

A disciple instinctively spoke, but before he could finish, a thin sword mark appeared on the demon god's forehead. The mark was small, yet it pierced through his skull, piercing his primordial spirit and soul. The weapons held on his six arms also showed clean cracks.

next moment

The six weapons held by the six arms slid off the broken surface, and the demon's stiff figure fell to the ground, collapsing into the desolate ruins left by the aftershocks of the battle.

……

……

Taicang Religion

Not long after Ye Qingge left, a magnificent palanquin flew swiftly from the horizon. The steward guarding the gates of the great sect was about to intervene when a panicked voice came from within the palanquin: "Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has come to report! I am Fang Ziye, the sect master of the Tiancang Sect. Something terrible has happened at the front lines, and I must see the guarding elder immediately!"

Since submitting to the Taicang Sect and changing its sect name, the Tiancang Sect has always been a capable assistant to the Taicang Sect. Even though it had participated in oppression before, it is still trustworthy to the people of the Taicang Sect when it comes to important matters.

The gatekeeper was taken aback, but after clearly seeing the Tiancang Sect mark on the imperial carriage, he immediately disregarded any suspicion, made way, and took out his communication device to urgently contact the elder guarding the peak.

"Thank you for your understanding, fellow Daoist!"

Fang Ziye's excited voice came from the imperial carriage. The carriage flew straight in and flew all the way to the top of the peak. The guarding elder had already flown out.

Guarding the Taicang Sect was an elderly man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His hair and beard were white, but his aura was extremely powerful, indicating that he had reached the peak of the fourth level of the Dao Realm. He quickly came to the front of the precious carriage and said urgently, "What major event has occurred at the front that requires Fellow Daoist Fang to come so urgently to inform us? Please stop the carriage quickly and let the disciples put it away."

The imperial carriage stopped abruptly, and Fang Ziye, disheveled, stepped down. Without even bothering to steady himself, he bowed and said, "Elder Zhang, the front lines have collapsed, a widespread collapse! The demonic tide has advanced unimpeded, and just recently it reached the Holy Master's imperial carriage... The Holy Master has fallen!"

"What did you say? I didn't receive the message..."

The elder's expression changed drastically, and he was about to question Fang Ziye when he saw Fang Ziye suddenly raise his head, his eyes having changed.

A pure purple hue covered his eyes, which seemed to transform into butterfly wings with countless patterns. An indescribable spiritual power emanated from them, and the elder's gaze froze for a moment before quickly returning to normal.

"The Holy Leader has fallen, the Holy Leader has fallen... How is this possible?"

Elder Zhang was completely distraught, as if he had lost all his energy and spirit.

Fang Ziye said at the opportune moment, "This matter is of great importance and we must notify the other defense lines."

Elder Zhang's spirits lifted, as if he had found the next solution. He nodded repeatedly, "Sect Master Fang is right. We must spread this message and announce it to the entire Yan Kang Divine Dynasty!"

He hurried towards the communication hall. The other protectors and heavenly kings who had rushed over upon hearing the news were already there and immediately inquired about the situation. Elder Zhang simply gave a brief explanation and then quickly headed towards the communication hall.

"Elder Zhang, what are you doing!"

Several guardians and heavenly kings changed their expressions drastically, trying to stop Elder Zhang, but they couldn't do it at all.

Within just five minutes, Elder Zhang burst into the communication hall and began preparing to contact the others.

Fang Ziye followed silently behind, a look of pity on his face, pretending to comfort Elder Zhang from behind, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

This was exactly the plan that the demonic figure had told him a few days ago: to let the demon god enter the country to suppress the Holy Sect Master Feng Lingxiu, while the news of Feng Lingxiu's demise spread throughout Yankang, damaging the morale of the other defense lines.

Several demon gods at the fourth level of the Dao Realm might not be able to kill Feng Lingxiu. Given Feng Lingxiu's combat strength at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, escaping shouldn't be a problem. He had already prepared a backup plan to prevent Feng Lingxiu from escaping to the border. All other routes were blocked, and the only place she could seek help from was the Taicang Sect.

"As long as the Holy Leader comes to the Taicang Sect..."

A cold smile crept into his heart as he glanced at a symbol on his left hand that only he could see. It was the backup plan that the Demon Shadow had left for him, waiting for Feng Lingxiu to arrive before unleashing it.

"At that time, you'll die whether you live or die!"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, telling himself, "This is all for the good of the righteous path, all for the good of the righteous path of the world. The Demon God of the sixth level of the Dao Realm is about to unleash his full power, and the righteous path will surely be unable to withstand it."
