Li Shiming's phantom clone stood on the deck, and the shadow of the island could be vaguely seen in the distance.
He was riding on the large flying boat of the Luanfeng Palace. The Lord of the Phoenix Palace went out personally this time, and brought along five great late-stage cultivators, as well as hundreds of female cultivators of various realms.
These hundreds of female cultivators of various realms came to the Bitao Islands in order to gain combat experience.
The war started by the three superpowers this time is an extremely rare opportunity to hone their skills.
Although female cultivators are generally not good at fighting, Luanfeng Palace still needs to train a group of female cultivators with strong combat capabilities.
Li Shiming originally planned to let the phantom clone drive a flying boat alone, but Palace Master Feng took the energy problem of the clone into consideration and invited the phantom clone to ride on a large flying boat with them.
"Fellow Daoist Li, the battlefield that the Bitao Sect and we have prepared is not far from here!" Palace Master Feng came to the side of the phantom clone and said while looking at the island in the distance.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" asked the phantom clone.
“Not for now. According to the rules, we’ll start with the Jindan cultivators first, and then the Yuanying early and middle stage cultivators will fight, so that the younger generations will also have a chance to train!” Palace Master Feng explained with a smile.
"Okay, I just hope that the Bitao Sect can hand over Yi Xiao!" The phantom clone nodded and said.
This time, after the phantom clone sent Yin Shilan back to the Wanshou Sect, he immediately reunited with the Luanfeng Palace. He came for the great monk Yi Xiao.
Great Monk Yi Xiao's methods are extremely sophisticated. He is one of the very few great monks who almost suffered a great loss even though he was not at an advantage in terms of realm.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he is a phantom clone and cannot exert many of the abilities of the original body.
After returning this time, the phantom clone received a lot of support from the original body.
"The Guiyuan Sect seems to be too weak to send out even a top-level cultivator!" Palace Master Feng changed the subject and said dissatisfiedly.
Guiyuan Sect also dispatched six great monks and hundreds of monks of various realms this time, but there was not a single peak monk among the six great monks, which made the combat power of Guiyuan Sect far inferior to that of Luanfeng Palace.
When the phantom clone heard this, he was unable to speak.
Great monk Lin Yuan of Guiyuan Sect, this peak great monk was killed by him in the physical body, and later he was killed again. However, when he killed great monk Lin Yuan for the second time, he not only killed great monk Lin Yuan's physical body, but also his Nascent Soul.
Guiyuan Sect consumed a large amount of resources to train another top-level cultivator, Yi Xiao. It was also because of him that this top-level cultivator Yi Xiao is now wanted by Guiyuan Sect and Luanfeng Palace.
Today, Guiyuan Sect does not even have a top-level great cultivator, which makes the Guiyuan Sect's team seem very shabby.
Fortunately, they are acting together with the Luanfeng Palace, and the combined combat power of both sides is still very advantageous compared to the Bitao Sect.
"This war is related to me. Here are the twenty life-saving talismans I made. Consider it a little help from me!" The phantom clone shook his head, took out twenty talismans and presented them to the Phoenix Palace Master.
Palace Master Feng looked at the phantom clone in surprise. The life-saving talisman was an extremely precious thing. Due to the scarcity of materials used to make it, the life-saving talisman became a treatment only available to cultivators who were particularly valued by the sect.
The phantom clone took out twenty life-saving talismans at once. This generosity surprised even the extremely discerning Palace Master Feng.
"These are all life-saving talismans that can be used in one go. I didn't expect that fellow Daoist Li is not only a master of alchemy, but his skill in drawing talismans is also top-notch in the world of immortal cultivation. Also, this kind of talisman paper is the first time I've seen it!" Palace Master Feng used his spiritual sense to check it out and said in amazement.
"Just some practice work, I hope it helps!" said the phantom clone with a smile.
In fact, these "instant" life-saving talismans are not only slightly different from the life-saving talismans he prepared for the great monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
The twenty 'Instant Reach' life-saving talismans taken out this time were all made using blank talismans of ordinary great monks. Since the 'Divine Eyesight' was not solidified on the talismans, the space movement that the talismans could perform to 'Instant Reach' was only a distance of four hundred miles.
In his opinion, the 400-mile space movement was indeed insignificant compared to the 8,000-mile distance he achieved by performing the "Instant Reach" technique.
But in the eyes of Palace Master Feng, the value of these life-saving talismans is almost comparable to the life-saving talismans made by top-level great cultivators using precious fourth-grade top-level jade talismans. In fact, due to the special feature of "coming in one go", their practicality is even higher.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li. This can help prevent some promising talents who deserve attention from dying prematurely!" Palace Master Feng said as he put away the twenty 'Instant Achievement' life-saving talismans.
She immediately turned around and entered the cabin of the large flying boat, preparing to distribute twenty "Instant Arrival" life-saving talismans.
She also planned to distribute two "Instant Achievement" life-saving talismans to each of the other five great monks to increase their self-protection capabilities.
The Luanfeng Palace seldom engages in wars of this magnitude. The Palace Master of Feng Palace attaches great importance to this war, and many of the cultivators brought by him are elite cultivators of various realms.
She doesn't want too many elite monks to die in this war. These female monks are all good seedlings and the hope for the future of Luanfeng Palace.
About half an hour later, the large flying boat stopped, descended to a height of one hundred meters, and activated the defensive formation. At the same time, the scanning formation on the large flying boat was fully turned on, constantly scanning all movements nearby.
Fifty meters away from this large flying boat, Guiyuan Sect’s large flying boats were parked side by side, and their defensive formations were also activated.
Since the battlefield set by the Bi Tao Sect was above an uninhabited island, for safety reasons, both the Luan Feng Palace and the Gui Yuan Sect chose to use the large flying boat as a temporary safe point.
With the scanning formation of a large flying boat, the monks sitting in the flying boat can detect the situation on the battlefield and make various adjustments in time.
The phantom clone released four late-stage golden corpses, which scattered to all sides of the large flying boat.
Although the Bi Tao Sect has set the battlefield, no one can guarantee whether the Bi Tao Sect will send out great monks to attack the large flying boat.
According to the rules, this kind of war between super powers is fought in levels. The battle between Jindan cultivators will only be fought between Jindan cultivators, and the battle between early and middle Yuanying cultivators will only be fought between Yuanying cultivators of the same level.
It is also allowed for great monks not to attack those low-level monks, but to directly attack the unprepared great monks in the large flying boat.
The Bi Tao Sect is best at water-related things, and the seawater is their natural cover for escape in the ocean.
Without much communication, the Jindan monks from Luanfeng Palace and Guiyuan Sect flew into the battlefield. A concave cave appeared on the sea surface on the other side of the island. One Jindan monk after another flew out of the cave and entered the battlefield.
The phantom clone stood on the deck. He was no stranger to this kind of war in the world of immortal cultivation. Li Shiming had also participated in this kind of war in the past.
Generally speaking, when there is an irreconcilable conflict between two forces, it will be resolved through war.
This kind of war is also a stage for the two forces to train low-level monks, allowing them to contribute to the sect and at the same time satisfying their needs for actual combat.
But before, he was a participant, not a spectator.
The Jindan female cultivators of Luanfeng Palace have quite good combat capabilities. In addition, the Jindan cultivators of Guiyuan Sect always help the Jindan female cultivators from time to time, making it rare for the Jindan female cultivators to suffer much damage.
One more thing to say is that most of the Jindan cultivators in the Bi Tao Sect are male cultivators, and most of the time these male cultivators will not kill the female cultivators in the Luan Feng Palace.
The phantom clone couldn't help but smile when he saw this situation. Although the world of immortal cultivators does not care about gender, in fact the ratio of male to female cultivators is seriously unbalanced, and female cultivators are always inadvertently taken care of.
"Only one top-level monk from the Bitao Sect has come!" At this time, Jiang Hao, a top-level monk from the Guiyuan Sect, flew over from the large flying boat next to him, landed on the deck, and said in a deep voice.
His gaze swept across the four late-stage golden corpses around him, and horror flashed in his eyes.
He had received reports about Li Shiming's strength. In the later period, the golden corpse was a kind of combat force that Li Shiming often used.
According to the analysis and judgment of the Intelligence Department, the combat power of a late-stage golden corpse is almost equivalent to that of a peak great monk.
Li Shiming's phantom clone actually brought four late-stage golden corpses this time. The combat power alone was even more powerful than the combined combat power sent by Luanfeng Palace and Guiyuan Sect.
No wonder the immortal cultivation world was unwilling to offend Li Shiming. Even though Li Shiming had demonstrated value beyond imagination and mastered the ultimate level of alchemy, the various superpowers only expressed a friendly attitude and had no intention of capturing Li Shiming in their hands.
Even the various superpowers allowed the Wanshou Sect in Dongqi Continent to become the only dominant force and occupy the resources of an entire continent.
Even though Dongqi Continent has relatively fewer resources, the Wanshou Sect's occupation of Dongqi Continent has definitely affected some superpowers' indirect control over some of Dongqi Continent's resources.
“I have just confirmed that the gathering place of the cultivators of the Bi Tao Sect is in the sea, which makes the scanning of the formation much more difficult!” Palace Master Feng also nodded.
"There is only one peak great cultivator, does that mean Yi Xiao is not here?" The phantom clone frowned slightly.
The purpose of his coming here was for Great Monk Yi Xiao. He felt that Great Monk Yi Xiao was like a poisonous snake, and he would always feel uncomfortable if he didn't get rid of Great Monk Yi Xiao.
As for this war between superpowers, to him it was just like children playing house.
"It should be. The Bi Tao Sect did not bring Yi Xiao to the battlefield as agreed!" Great Monk Jiang Hao said gritting his teeth.
His goal was the same as Li Shiming's, both were for the great monk Yi Xiao.
He wanted to get rid of Master Yi Xiao even more than Li Shiming did. No sect would tolerate Master Yi Xiao's treasonous behavior.
If the traitors are not killed by force, then where is the dignity of Guiyuan Sect?
When Guiyuan Sect and Bitao Sect agreed to go to war, they agreed that great monk Yi Xiao would be present.
"Open a communication channel with the Bi Tao Sect. If they really want to breach the contract, we will make the matter public!" said Master Feng in a deep voice.
The communication channel with the Bitao Sect was opened very quickly, and a communication request was sent to the other side through the communication formation of the large flying boat. This is a frequently used communication method on the ocean.
After the other side established communication, they first reported their identities to each other.
"Fellow Daoist Hua Ying, the Bitao Sect did not keep its promise. Yi Xiao did not come to the battlefield!" After introducing each other's identities, Palace Master Feng went straight to the point.
Do not underestimate the credit of a sect. If the news that the Bi Tao Sect does not keep its word gets out, the other sects cooperating with the Bi Tao Sect will consider whether to continue the cooperation.
It is very unsafe to cooperate with a sect that has no credibility.
If the Bi Tao Sect wants to continue to survive in the world of immortal cultivation, it cannot let the news of the sect not keeping its word get out.
"Feng Xianzi, Brother Yi will just be a little late. He will definitely come tomorrow!" Great Monk Hua Ying explained hurriedly.
He was also helpless in his heart, as Great Monk Yi Xiao suggested arriving one day later when they set out.
Considering the special situation of Great Monk Yi Xiao and the fact that the first two days of the war were fought between low-level monks, he agreed.
Unexpectedly, Luanfeng Palace and Guiyuan Sect had a way to detect the situation in the sea and discovered that the great monk Yi Xiao did not arrive.
"Fellow Daoist Hua Ying, if Yi Xiao does not arrive tomorrow, Luanfeng Palace will retreat immediately and announce to the immortal cultivation world that the Bitao Sect does not talk about faith!" said the Phoenix Palace Master in a deep voice.
"It's the same in my Guiyuan Sect. Without Yi Xiao's arrival, this war is meaningless!" Great Monk Jiang Hao followed.
This war was fought to resolve the issue of Great Monk Yi Xiao. If the person involved, Great Monk Yi Xiao, did not show up, there would be no need to fight this war.
The exchanges between the three great monks did not affect the fighting on the battlefield.
Once the female cultivators at Luanfeng Palace are injured, they will take the corresponding high-level elixir for treatment.
This was due to the relationship between Luanfeng Palace and Li Shiming. Li Shiming never made this kind of healing elixir for any other sect except the Wanshou Sect, Luanfeng Palace and Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
Different from the elixirs used for cultivation, this high-level elixir for treatment has a greater effect and can often save a cultivator's life.
If a cultivator is seriously injured, he can save his life by taking a high-level healing elixir of the same level.
This is a strategic resource, and Li Shiming would not refine it casually. In the world of immortal cultivation, this kind of high-level healing elixir is also quite rare.
In this war, the total number of cultivators sent by Luanfeng Palace and Guiyuan Sect was equal to the number of cultivators sent by Bitao Sect. This was a war that seemed fair.
However, under the effects of the high-level healing elixirs of the female cultivators of Luanfeng Palace, as well as the natural advantages of the female cultivators, the number of cultivators injured and killed in the Bitao Sect increased.
Before the day was over, the Jindan monks of the Bi Tao Sect were driven out of the battlefield.
In the first round of the Jindan level war, the Bitao Sect was defeated. This defeat also made the immortal cultivation world realize the strength of the future cultivators of the Bitao Sect, and had a certain impact on the status of the Bitao Sect in the immortal cultivation world.
Don't underestimate a war at the Jindan level. The significance of this kind of war lies in the future potential of a sect. This is a recognized criterion in the world of immortal cultivation.
