Two days later, within the Chaotic Star Sea,
The members of Penglai Sect looked at the raging thunder and rain outside the protective array, their eyes filled with fear.
But looking at the grade III quartz stones scattered everywhere underfoot, he couldn't help but show excitement.
A quartz island spanning hundreds of miles... how much contribution would that be worth?
Looking at Ye Feng ahead, everyone remained silent, awaiting instructions.
"Everyone! You can all see the quartz stones beneath your feet. Within a radius of 100,000 li, there are five islands, and each of them has this much resource!"
"Whoosh!"
There are actually four more mineral-rich islands around here!
"My God... Where are we... Are we just picking up money off the ground? In the Northern Wilderness, the most you could find were open-pit level one ore, but here we've found a level three island!"
"The surface is at level three, but there are probably level four or five mines underground!"
"Level 3 quartz is only hard, making it easier to use as a foundation stone for formations. It only sells for two thousand spirit stones per kilogram, which is considered low among level 3 ores. I wonder what kind of mineral veins are in the other four places."
...
Basically, all disciples recognized by the system are diligent and eager to learn, and each of them has undergone the test of business.
They are acutely aware of and sensitive to price fluctuations, and have already begun calculating how much contribution they can earn and how many items they can exchange for.
However, a few people are worried about the external environment of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
"However, there's one problem: the environment here is quite harsh. Outside, there's lightning comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator's tribulation, and sea beasts comparable to those at the Fusion stage..."
"However, there's no need to worry. I've set up level nine formations on all five islands, so even a Mahayana demon beast wouldn't be able to break through them!"
"Each island has a teleportation array, so even if there's an unexpected situation, we can escape in time!"
...
After Ye Feng finished speaking, another wave of gasps of amazement rose from the audience.
A level nine formation, what level is that?
No one could imagine...
At this moment, everyone looked curiously at the surrounding protective barrier, wishing that a combined sea beast would appear right now and rush over to test it.
Seeing that the crowd didn't seem too emotional, Ye Feng stopped talking and turned to give instructions to Yang Xueling and the others.
Everything else is manageable, but the most crucial issue is the island's "fluidity," which is completely unpredictable.
"I'll come back to pick you up once I've set up the teleportation array to the Five Elements Sect!"
Seeing the somewhat resentful looks in their eyes, Ye Feng felt a little helpless.
Especially seeing the bamboo sword standing next to them...
But the Black God Cult is a pressing matter, and Feng Zhen and Ye Wenyuan are also in imminent danger. If a solution is not found soon, Ye Feng may regret it for the rest of his life!
"Let's go!"
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he took one last look at everyone, and then he and Ling Fengxue vanished in a flash.
———
The Nine Venerables Hall exists because of the Heavenly Ladder.
As long as the Nine Sects Establishment Tokens are in place, the person can be changed at any time.
Liu Ruyan of the Creation Sect and Zhang Tiancheng of the Supreme Sect betrayed them.
Jian Sheng of the Wan Jian Sect died in battle, while Liu Tiejun of the Gui Ming Sect and Liang Wendao of the Cang Jian Sect were captured.
These people definitely won't be able to attend the Nine Venerables Meeting.
However, the sects still exist. Even if the Great Immortal Venerables of the Creation Sect and the Supreme Sect betrayed them, it cannot prove that their entire sects have sided with the Evil God Cult.
Of course, even if they surrendered... the remaining Great Evolution Immortal Venerable and Shadowless Immortal Venerable probably wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
Now, with strange beasts running rampant and the divine cult in power, the Cultivation Alliance is practically defunct.
Left with no other choice, they had to notify all sects to shut down the teleportation arrays, hoping to slow down the advance of the two major enemies.
But anyone with eyes can see that
The cultivation world is no longer in the era of the Nine Venerables...
Dayan Sword Sect
The Great Evolution Immortal Venerable looked at the notice for the Nine Venerables Meeting displayed on the sect's token and remained silent for a moment.
After a long while, a smile appeared on his lips.
At the same time,
Li Xiaoran, the successor to the throne of the Creation Sect, and Zhang Mingzhi, the successor to the Taiyi Sect, are together.
A hint of surprise appeared on Li Xiaoran's face.
"Frost Immortal Venerable didn't die... She survived her tribulation in Tiannan, could she have also become a puppet of the Black God Cult?"
Zhang Mingzhi shook his head.
"While being corrupted is still a possibility, becoming a puppet certainly means you won't be able to enter the Nine Venerable Hall."
"So, does that mean she's become a Seven Tribulation Immortal Venerable? The undisputed number one among the nine Venerables?"
Li Xiaoran's face showed horror. Liu Yunyan, a mere Fifth Tribulation Loose Immortal, was enough to make him feel suffocated.
How strong must a Seven Tribulation Immortal Venerable be?
"The Frost Immortal's talent is a divine body that is hard to find in the cultivation world. Coupled with the Ice God Sect's transcendent skills... even if she is a fourth-tribulation loose immortal like you and me, we are no match for her."
"So you mean we still have to go to the conference?"
"Of course we have to go! If we don't, wouldn't we be offending people for no reason!"
Li Xiaoran still had some reservations, worried that he would be purged because of Liu Yunyan's betrayal.
"If this Frost Condensation Immortal Venerable only has this much magnanimity, she wouldn't be the number one cultivator in the cultivation world. Rest assured, everything will be done according to my plan. Right now, our two sects are in the same boat, and we must advance and retreat together!"
"Alright! Then we'll have to rely on Brother Zhang!"
———
The Nine Venerable Palace reappears in the Great Evolution Immortal City.
This means that the Nine Councils will convene again!
Inside the immortal city, countless high-level cultivators from level seven or eight sects remained. Upon witnessing this scene, they were immediately excited.
"Go quickly! The Nine Venerable Palace has appeared, and the Great Immortal Venerable is about to hold another council meeting!"
"With the teleportation arrays of all the major sects now closed, it's impossible to gather personnel. I wonder what the Great Immortal Venerables are discussing this time..."
"It's not just that we can't gather enough people; I've heard that the strange beasts have already taken over their territories and become kings, supported by more than a dozen sects around them, eating whomever they want!"
"This strange beast is even worse than the demonic beasts of my cultivation world! I've heard that those who survive the Immortal Tribulation can awaken intelligence, so how could it still have the habit of eating people?"
"These strange beasts are all raised in the Immortal Realm. They are at the bottom of the Immortal Realm and have no civilization to speak of. Especially after being kept in captivity for countless years, they are filled with resentment towards humans. Now that they are invincible in the lower realm, they naturally act arrogantly and domineeringly..."
In the Great Yan Immortal City, most of the worries still come from the alien beasts.
That's an absolute difference in strength; encountering it means certain death!
But there were also some dissenting voices in the crowd.
Have you heard of the Black God Cult?
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
The matter of the Black God Cult is strictly forbidden to be discussed in the Immortal City.
But judging from the enigmatic expressions on everyone's faces, it wasn't hard to guess...
Actually, everyone already knows...
Now, all hopes are pinned on this meeting.
Hopefully, the Nine Venerables can come up with a solution!
———
The other seven arrived early, and the last to arrive was actually the convener, Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang.
And Ye Feng of the Five Elements Sect...
Even though Ling Fengxue completely trusted Ye Feng, she couldn't help but feel a little worried at this moment.
The Nine Venerable Hall—those who can enter are fellow practitioners.
If we can't get in, then we're the enemy!
Not only Ling Fengxue, but Ye Feng himself is now a little worried... worried that Ling Fengxue won't be able to get in!
Fortunately, none of the things I was worried about happened.
The two walked in one after the other.
Once inside, the two breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a knowing smile.
Just then, a voice of discontent rang out from inside the hall.
"What qualifications does a newly promoted Mahayana cultivator have to enter this Nine Venerable Hall and sit with us?"
"His aura is still so weak; he's probably not even as strong as a Nascent Soul disciple from our sect..."
