The war lasted for a year without anyone noticing. The demon race suffered heavy casualties, and the human and demon races also suffered many deaths and injuries.
The entire Tianyuan Domain has returned to its previous state, with occasional surprise attacks from demons, but the scale is not large.
Ye Sisi had faced death several times in the past year. As the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest stands out, and her performance was indeed somewhat conspicuous. However, she vaguely felt that someone was protecting her, but she didn't know if it was her senior brother, her master, or her junior uncle.
So, in fact, those seniors who were at the Fusion Realm or above did not make a move, but they were actually in the shadows, deliberately letting them familiarize themselves with the battlefield and using this battle as a whetstone.
As far as she knew, although most of the cultivators above the Integration Realm were suppressing the seal, there were also many powerful figures left outside. She just didn't know how many of these powerful figures would remain outside after the seal loosened.
But Gao Mu and Fu Yuanyuan both come from noble backgrounds, and it seems that there are powerful figures in their families. Moreover, their talents are terrifyingly amazing. Is the sect really willing to let such talented people die young? Wouldn't their elders at home really try to save them?
Or, to think about it on a larger scale, there is actually more to the seemingly small battlefield than meets the eye. Those who appear to be dead are not actually dead. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. Why kill so many people when a Mahayana cultivator could have solved the problem? Even if it was to help them adapt to the battlefield sooner, it doesn't make sense.
If you can't figure it out, ask your master first. After all, your master is a high-level person. She knows the inside story but won't tell others.
Meng Tianyuan chuckled and said, "As expected of my precious disciple, you really dare to think big. Not bad, not bad. Why don't you just say we're all acting?"
Ye Sisi remained silent. Her master was always the same master; when he got sarcastic and unpredictable, no one could handle him.
Meng Tianyuan's voice came again from the communication jade tablet: "No one in this world is immune to death, including you and me. What does it matter if you're a genius or an ordinary person? When the country is shattered, who won't die? It's just a matter of dying sooner or later. Even if you few are right under my nose, I still won't step aside to save you. If you die, you can only blame your lack of strength and inferior skills."
"Furthermore, these small battlefields can indeed be easily handled by two combined experts, and many people will die less. But why should the life and death of an entire world depend on such a small group of people, while the rest are to be turned into useless trash by these powerful individuals? When chaos breaks out, all they know is to run for their lives?"
Ye Sisi felt that Meng Tianyuan's words made a lot of sense, but she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. She felt that these were words that Meng Tianyuan shouldn't have said.
Moreover, given the Tianling Sect's overprotective nature, she didn't believe Meng Tianyuan would truly stand by and watch someone die, unless Meng Tianyuan and the others were in bad shape and unable to help, even though they were all very capable and none of them died on the battlefield.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Don't ask me anything you don't understand. What's the point of having a brain? Besides, the seal is loosening now, and the demons in the Void Refinement stage can move freely. We'll just need more people and more effort to suppress the seal."
Looking at the dimmed communication jade tablet, Ye Sisi remained silent for a long time before gripping it tightly. Time was indeed running out.
Ye Sisi went to the teleportation array to Qinglan Domain alone. He had arranged to go to Yunhai Cave Heaven with his senior brothers and sisters first.
The cultivators' quarters were deathly still and the atmosphere was very oppressive. Ye Sisi had already informed Xu Mo that she would be leaving the Demon-Slaying Land soon, and there were quite a few others who would be leaving with her.
As long as the demons don't launch a large-scale attack, the Demon-Subduing Land doesn't need so many cultivators stationed there. As for the cultivators stationed there, they will be rotated regularly so as not to delay their cultivation too much.
Yunhai Cave Heaven is a secret realm of the Miaofa Immortal Sect, open to all cultivators, but of course, it costs money. One spot costs 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and allows one to stay inside for three months.
The reason they dared to ask for such a price was because there was a Cloud Sea Enlightenment Map inside the Cloud Sea Cave. Legend has it that every white cloud in the Cloud Sea Cave contains a different Daoist charm, and those with the right destiny can see the Cloud Sea Enlightenment Map hidden within.
Of course, all of this depends on luck. Some people spend 100,000 spirit stones and return with a full load, while others gain nothing.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more one needs such opportunities. It's not that seeing the Enlightenment Diagram will elevate one's cultivation to a higher level, but rather that one can use the Enlightenment Diagram to solidify one's Dao and make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
Ye Sisi and the others had also come into contact with cultivators from the Miaofa Immortal Sect. When they first arrived, while they were hiding in the Jieyin Hall waiting for Ouyang Yanyu, a male cultivator named Lu Xueyi invited them to join the Miaofa Immortal Sect.
That male cultivator had a cold exterior but a warm heart, and she got a pretty good impression of him.
The four arrived at the entrance of Yunhai Cave and handed over spirit stones. Each of them then received a token engraved with the words "Yunhai".
There weren't many people here; only two people went in with Ye Sisi and her group.
Just like its name suggests, Yunhai Cave is as if the whole world is covered with ethereal clouds. Wisps of white clouds linger among the treetops, petals, and blades of grass, making it look like a dream.
The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, and breathing here makes one feel refreshed. It is undoubtedly a good place for secluded cultivation.
Ye Sisi's cultivation level was still at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, which made her quite worried. The tortoise-like crawling speed was making her somewhat irritable.
Lin Shuangluo was similar to him, her cultivation level hadn't improved much either, as was Ye Shubai, who had remained at the mid-stage of the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.
Only Ouyang Yanyu's cultivation was stable at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from the perfect Nascent Soul stage. Such speed was indeed very fast.
Ye Sisi knew Ouyang Yanyu's anxiety. She was the earliest to join the sect, the oldest, but the weakest in cultivation. How could she not feel pressured? But she couldn't say it.
In this battle, all four of them were on the verge of death. Ouyang Yanyu had one arm cut off, and if it weren't for the many treasures she had and the unexpected throwing of a handful of Heavenly Thunder Stones, she probably would have died.
Lin Shuang was stabbed in the neck after falling behind. If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have almost lost her head. Ye Shubai wasn't much better off; he was almost cut in half at the waist.
Although Ye Sisi didn't lose any limbs, she was almost stabbed through the heart. Fortunately, the knife was slightly off-target. Although she seemed to be used to the pain, she still couldn't help but grimace.
Fortunately, the Medicine Sect has a Limb Regeneration Pill; otherwise, how could Ouyang Yanyu continue as a sword cultivator? However, her newly grown arm is not as good as before and needs to be slowly nurtured. In short, regardless of their cultivation level, they are all in a terrible state. There's nothing they can do; they've all been put on that hunting list and are being targeted relentlessly.
Ye Sisi was so worried. She wished she had been born a few hundred years earlier, because she would have already passed the tribulation by now and wouldn't be bothered by this tortoise-like cultivation speed.
The Enlightenment Diagram in the Sea of Clouds has no fixed location or time of appearance; whether you encounter it depends entirely on fate.
So after the four of them had circled around in the sky and on the ground, they found a place that looked good and stopped. Ye Sisi quickly wove a few rattan chairs, and then the four of them sat on the rattan chairs and looked up at the sea of clouds above them in a daze.
