Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1372 - 584: Golden Core Realm Third Heaven

The crowd filed in, the hall filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

"This operation went very smoothly! Thanks to the dedication of the ten fellow Daoists, and we must also thank Li Yunjing, as it was he who calculated the meeting place of the enemy, giving us a target!"

After everyone took their seats, the Five Elements Master first praised the contributions of the experts present.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the Five Elements Master removed the teacups from the table, and a flash of gold appeared in his palm, revealing a map of the East Sea region, with the location of "No Return Island" heavily marked in cinnabar.

"This place has now become a dead zone."

His fingertips brushed over the densely marked red dots on the map, "We don’t have the power to deal with this matter at the moment."

The Five Elements Master, aware of the situation from Li Yunjing’s report, immediately spoke decisive words, persuading the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the Council Hall to abandon the idea of exploring out of curiosity.

"What Five Elements Brother says is true, our current biggest adversary is still the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’."

The Peak Master Alchemy Tripod, struggling to sit on the meditation cushion, sighed, "Although the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ suffered significant losses, Lu Tianluo escaped, and there’s a chance he’ll return..."

Inside the Council Hall, the flickering candlelight reflected the solemn expressions of everyone.

The words of the Five Elements Master and the Peak Master Alchemy Tripod made a lot of sense.

No matter what happened on "No Return Island," it was far from everyone.

They had just killed three Supreme Elders of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect," forming a blood feud, ensuring the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" would madly attack the forces obstructing their path.

They needed to open a path to connect with the "East Sea Alliance" for a decisive battle in the shortest time possible.

This was a matter of life and death!

The Five Elements Master lightly tapped, and several dozen red arrows appeared pointing towards the location of "Shenxiao Island" on the East Sea map.

"Latest intelligence indicates that the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ has allied with the ’Four Seas Commerce Association,’ the ’Cyan Dragon Association,’ ’Watercloud Pavilion,’ and other seven forces, mobilizing manpower."

His voice low, "At most three years, they will clear the surrounding sea area and directly border the ’Holy Sound Sea Region’."

"Hmph! Let them come!"

Master Lei Ze slapped the table, making it buzz and tremble, "Perfect to catch them all in one trap!"

"We must not be careless."

The Saint Sound Fairy said seriously, shaking her head slightly, "Although Lu Tianluo was defeated, the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ has a profound foundation, with at least thirty-one Nascent Soul Realm masters, a number far exceeding ours!"

The "Holy Sound Sea Region" was the domain of the "Holy Sound Sect," and in three years, the enemy would invade her territory, naturally making the Saint Sound Fairy anxious.

Her words further dampened the atmosphere inside the hall.

Thirty-one Nascent Soul Realm masters!

That number was daunting.

Including the ten Nascent Soul Realm masters of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," the entire "East Sea Alliance" had only twenty-three Nascent Soul Realm experts!

The visible number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from just the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" already surpassed the people of the "East Sea Alliance."

Adding the seven sects like the "Four Seas Commerce Association," "Watercloud Pavilion," and the "Cyan Dragon Association," their number of Nascent Soul cultivators must exceed forty!

This was publicly known information!

What about the loose cultivators and clan Nascent Soul experts secretly allied with the "Celestial Net Dao Sect"?

Perhaps when the two sides truly clash, the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" will field over fifty Nascent Soul cultivators!

This number is at least double that of the "East Sea Alliance!"

The outcome is still uncertain.

The "East Sea Alliance" is already at a disadvantage.

Li Yunjing stood in the corner, quietly observing the expressions of the masters.

His heart sank, as the masters, particularly those native to the East Sea, seemed to fall silent.

The words of the Saint Sound Fairy caused the previously raised morale to plummet once again.

Reluctantly, but that’s the harsh truth!

The disadvantage in numbers is not something that can be resolved in the short term.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" also cannot, nor dares to deploy more Supreme Elders to the East Sea.

As for the Nascent Soul Realm masters from various forces of the "Great Ming Cultivation Realm"?

Those people certainly won’t come!

Their main efforts are currently focused on the "Transverse Mountain Range," striving to mobilize forces and consolidate their territory.

That’s their own domain, naturally requiring their full attention. Expecting them to come to the East Sea to help others conquer the world? Wait for that!

"The ’Holy Sound Sea Region’ guards the throat of the East Sea. If we establish the ’Nine Luminaries Dragon Sealing Formation’ here, we can attack or retreat at will."

After a moment of silence, Feiyun Master supported the table and pointed to the "Holy Sound Sea Region" on the East Sea map, saying solemnly, "If the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ wants to seek revenge, they must first pass through here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lamplight from the bronze lantern flickered on everyone’s faces, making their expressions even more solemn.

"The ’Nine Luminaries Dragon Sealing Formation’ requires nine Nascent Soul cultivators to guard it day and night, and it consumes an enormous amount of Spirit Stones."

Nine Netherworld Master suddenly sneered, "If we really need to establish a defense line in the ’Holy Sound Sea Region,’ the resource consumption is not just the matter of a single sect."

Her concern struck the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer, instantly solidifying the atmosphere in the hall.

With the involvement of massive resources, no one dared to speak casually.

Such a large number of Spirit Stones is astronomical, even to Nascent Soul cultivators.

How much will each sect contribute?

In what manner?

There’s a lot to consider here; human nature is selfish, and besides the "Holy Sound Sect," no other power would willingly pay the cost without caring about the consumption!

"Are we just going to wait for death?"

Master Lei Ze slammed the table and said loudly, "If the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ really attacks us, and we’re scattered and disorganized, we’ll definitely be doomed! If you don’t have an alliance mentality, we might as well withdraw to the ’Great Ming Cultivation Realm’!"
