"Moreover, when a Divinity Transformation True Monarch acts, primordial energy of Heaven and Earth will riot, and certainly there will be anomalies. Did any of you see them?"
Nine Netherworld Master spoke coldly again.
The crowd was taken aback upon hearing this.
Indeed, if a Divinity Transformation True Monarch descended, the Heaven and Earth Law would tremble. As Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be impossible not to detect a single hint while comprehending the Heavenly Dao.
Even the slightest omen would be enough.
But before Li Yunjing sent someone to find them, they felt nothing at all. Does this mean a Divinity Transformation True Monarch did not act?
"Fellow Daoist Nine Netherworld, do you mean..."
Feiyun Master squinted, "Is this the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect's' supreme treasure?"
"Most likely."
Nine Netherworld Master crushed the crystal into powder and glanced at everyone, "'Celestial Net Dao Sect' has a legacy of hundreds of thousands of years. Legend has it that the founding master left behind a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. Among it is a 'Mountain and River Map,' capable of swallowing the sun and moon and settling the Qiankun. Today's strike matches the power described in ancient books."
"Mountain and River Map?!"
Saint Sound Fairy gasped, "Isn't that a treasure from myth and legend?"
"Heh!"
Nine Netherworld Master sneered, "Why are you panicking! This is merely a replica! If it were genuine, with one strike, the 'Celestial Wave Star' would be wiped out, what's there left to discuss?"
"Huff..."
Nine Netherworld Master's words weren't finished, but everyone understood the implication.
It seems that the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect's treasure isn't the real deal.
The crowd blushed with embarrassment, having been scared and losing their composure, lacking their usual wisdom, failing to see even this.
"Nine Netherworld Master, you come from an Upper Sect. How should we withstand such a powerful replica?"
Heart Lake Master asked, "Although we are stronger than the 'Setting Sun Archipelago,' it's at most three times their strength. We may not be able to block the 'Mountain and River Map'!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Please, 'Shenxiao Dao Sect,' think of a solution!"
"If we can't resist, we're doomed!"
...
Just as Heart Lake Master finished speaking, everyone started seeking advice from the well-experienced Nine Netherworld Master, one by one.
The crowd secretly planned that if 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' also fails, they should consider fleeing.
Can't stay here and let the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect' people flatten them, can they?
"What's the panic!"
Master Lei Ze suddenly grinned, "Mobilizing a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure consumes half a spirit vein each time. How many times can they dare to use it? I'll lead people to attack 'Celestial Net Island' now to force them to reveal their trump cards!"
"Seeking death!"
Nine Netherworld Master harshly inhibited, "Do you think the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect's Mountain Protection Array is for show? Moreover, can we possibly defeat over a hundred Nascent Soul Realm Masters of the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect'?"
"Uh... I was just speaking off the cuff..."
Master Lei Ze explained softly.
Seeing Nine Netherworld Master glaring at him fiercely, he couldn't help but lower his head in fear, not daring to speak.
This senior sister exuded a ghostly aura, which he feared somewhat, unwilling to provoke.
Silence fell over the crowd once more.
Combined, the experts of the "East Sea Alliance" only have thirty Nascent Soul Realm Masters. How could they dare to actively attack the "Celestial Net Dao Sect"?
Wouldn't the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" be eager for them to rush into the fire?
"Perhaps... seek peace?"
A tributor suddenly suggested in a low voice.
"That's bullshit!"
Master Lei Ze raged, his whole body exploding with Thunder Light, "We haven't even started fighting, and you're already scared, wanting to be a traitor?"
Just as the atmosphere grew tense, Li Yunjing suddenly raised his hand, creating a Spiritual Light Barrier that separated Master Lei Ze and the tributor.
"Enough!"
He said coldly, "Now engaging in internal strife, do you want to let the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect' enjoy the show?"
Silence prevailed, with Master Lei Ze coldly huffing, restraining the Thunder Light but still carrying anger in his eyes.
"Seek peace?"
Li Yunjing surveyed the crowd and said slowly, "'Celestial Net Dao Sect' clearly used the 'Mountain and River Map,' determined to obliterate us completely, leaving no room for negotiation."
"Then what should we do?"
Saint Sound Fairy's voice trembled slightly, "Are we to sit and await our doom?"
Initially, the "East Sea Alliance" thrived, emboldening everyone to resist the "Celestial Net Dao Sect." But witnessing the ruthless methods of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" today, their morale seemed to vanish.
"Of course not."
Li Yunjing, with a deep gaze, coldly said, "I mean, notify the Alliance Hierarch to take out the supreme treasure from the sect to confront the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect'!"
"This..."
Local cultivators of East Sea rejoiced one by one, while the Masters of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" showed difficulty.
"Celestial Net Dao Sect" possesses a replica of top-tier spiritual treasure, as a sect of equal standing. With Immortal Gods as a backing, how could "Shenxiao Dao Sect" lack formidable trump cards?
Apart from the artifact suppressing demons, "Shenxiao Dao Sect" also holds two powerful Big Killer Artifacts.
However, one is used to anchor the fortunes of "Shenxiao Dao Sect," not to be lightly used.
The other remains always active, suppressing the "Transverse Mountain Range," ready to counter any ultimate strike from other giant forces!
Which of these two supreme treasures should be deployed?
Are they to abandon the sect's ancestral court?
Or discard the hard-won "Transverse Mountain Range"?
It's utterly impossible to bring out the sect's Big Killer Artifact for the East Sea cultivators to recklessly confront the "Celestial Net Dao Sect," right?
"Yunjing, follow me!"
After a long silence, Nine Netherworld Master signaled Li Yunjing to follow her.
The two transformed into spiritual light, one ahead of the other, heading to the empty sky a hundred miles away.
"What are your thoughts?"
Nine Netherworld Master questioned.
"At this point, there's no retreat for us."
Li Yunjing gazed at the distant, turbulent sea waves and said deeply, "'Celestial Net Dao Sect' daring to use the replica of the 'Mountain and River Map' signals their intention to establish might, causing our alliance to lose without a fight!"
