Chapter 772: Southern Zhuque Zhendi

These thirty-six islands in the East Sea were not just thirty-six; it was just that these thirty-six were the largest, all having Tier 5 high-grade spirit veins, and not just one or two Tier 5 high-grade spirit veins.

Additionally, after so many years, the four main islands—Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, Xuanwu, and White Tiger—already had Tier 6 spirit veins, which could allow Primordial Spirit stage cultivators to sit and cultivate.

Apart from this, among these thirty-six islands, there were countless large and small islands surrounding them.

When the Profound Heaven Sect's Red Dragon arrived within the Vermilion Bird position, it was discovered early on.

"Who goes there?"

Several Golden Core stage cultivators flew in front of the Tier 5 Red Dragon warship.

"We are disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect, here by order."

Lu Qingshan released the aura of the Nascent Soul stage, flew over, and said calmly.

"Do you have the summons?"

Despite sensing the Nascent Soul stage pressure on Lu Qingshan, the several Golden Core cultivators still asked with unchanged expressions.

"Here."

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan withdrew his aura and then threw out a jade talisman. This was given to him by the two Immortal Alliance Nascent Soul cultivators earlier.

Originally, they were supposed to be led to the Vermilion Bird position by the two Immortal Alliance disciples, but because of problems in the north, the two had left one after another.

They could only come over themselves.

Fortunately, they had the route, so there was no problem.

A few months later, the Profound Heaven Sect's Red Dragon treasure ship arrived at the border of the Vermilion Bird position.

Along the way, they naturally encountered many islands and cultivators. The several Golden Core cultivators before them did not look simple either; facing the pressure released by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they were actually very calm.

"Senior, forgive me. The Immortal Alliance has regulations; we are just executing the Immortal Alliance's orders."

"Since Senior is here to support the Vermilion Bird position, please come this way."

The several Golden Core cultivators, after seeing Lu Qingshan's jade talisman, immediately changed their attitudes significantly, and respectful expressions appeared on their faces.

"Hmm!"

Lu Qingshan nodded warmly upon hearing this.

"Senior, your sect is here by order to the Vermilion Bird position. You need to first go to Zhuque Dao to hand over the jade talisman, and then the main island will arrange for your sect to go to the defensive area."

Chifang looked at Lu Qingshan and then explained in a low voice to Lu Qingshan. Facing a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Chifang dared not have any negligence.

It was because of the Immortal Alliance's regulations that he had to go and stop them.

Since he knew these people were here to support their Vermilion Bird position, they were friendly forces, and a Nascent Soul level power at that. He was just a captain of a thousand-man team on Chongshan Island and dared not provoke the other party.

Although he was also a member of the Immortal Alliance, if he really angered this sect, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

One look at this sect and it was clear they were not simple; being able to possess their own Tier 5 warship, they were clearly not a simple Nascent Soul level power.

"Senior, the Vermilion Bird position has nine major islands, among which Zhuque Dao is the main island, having one Tier 6 spirit vein and four Tier 5 high-grade spirit veins."

"The remaining eight major islands also have Tier 5 high-grade spirit veins, but the quantity varies. Among them, the one with the most is Huoying Island, which has a full nineteen Tier 5 spirit veins, three of which are Tier 5 high-grade."

"Next is Kanyuandao..."

Listening to this person introduce the situation of the Vermilion Bird position, Lu Qingshan was very satisfied.

Especially these nine major islands of the Vermilion Bird position and some of the powers within them.

Inside the Immortal Alliance, it was not a harmonious group; there were various powers composed of each other, and coupled with the various sects and families coming from outside, it was naturally even more chaotic.

Fortunately, the Immortal Alliance high-level members also understood this, so they directly let various powers guard one side. Powerful Nascent Soul level powers would guard the major islands, and weaker powers would go to the small islands.

This could also achieve maximum fairness.

The joint forces led by the Profound Heaven Sect, placed in the Southern Vermilion Bird position, could not be considered very strong; they could barely even be considered first-class.

Of course, this did not count Su Fan.

The standard for first-class was to possess ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Whether individual or joint forces, in short, they must have ten Nascent Soul stage combatants.

And among the ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators, there must be one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

If the Profound Heaven Sect counted Su Fan as an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they only had three, and even joining other forces and vassals, it was only four.

So they could not be considered a first-class power at all, only top-tier second-class.

To occupy one of the nine major islands, unless Su Fan showed his strength, then entering any of the nine major islands would be fine, and even Zhuque Dao would probably be no problem.

However, others did not know Su Fan's true strength.

After Lu Qingshan obtained the information from Chifang, he also began to think about how to choose.

After heading to Zhuque Dao, choosing the defensive position was not entirely ordered by Zhuque Dao; there were still ways to operate within this.

If they could not choose the nine major islands, they could choose a better island. Surrounding the nine major islands, there were thousands of islands, among which there were dozens of islands possessing Tier 5 spirit veins.

Among these, there were even a few islands that were not much worse than the weakest of the nine major islands.

Choosing a good garrison for the Profound Heaven Sect disciples had great benefits.

This war would not last for a short time; it would last for hundreds of years at the longest, and even the shortest would be several decades.

For those in Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, how many decades were there in a life?

Staying in the treasure ship was naturally unrealistic. Was he supposed to open the spirit pool in the treasure ship to supply the disciples for cultivation? That was unrealistic.

The spirit pool was the foundation of the treasure ship. If the spiritual energy in the spirit pool was gone, once the Demon Race attacked, wouldn't it be dangerous?

Don't look at the Vermilion Bird position not being the front line, but that did not mean there were no Demon Race attacks. Once the Demon Race army entered the Yuanyang World,

the Northern Xuanwu position could only block a part. Other Demon Race members would still invade. The Four Great Positions were the front line to block the Demon Race from penetrating deep into the Yuanyang World.

Therefore, the spirit pool in the treasure ship had to be kept in a full state at all times.

So choosing a garrison was not only for the disciples' cultivation but also for the treasure ship's recharging.

All of this was considered by Lu Qingshan. Before coming, everyone had already discussed it, and the command of the battle was also left to him.

Su Fan's strength was the strongest, but when the time came, what he needed was to find the strongest among the Demon Race and behead them.

Secondly, Su Fan would eventually have to leave. His cultivation had progressed very quickly over these years; he was now at the first layer of the Primordial Spirit stage, and as for his soul realm, it was already at the sixth layer of the Primordial Spirit stage.

For him, ascending to the upper realm was not a big problem.

Therefore, he could not let the Profound Heaven Sect have a heart of reliance on him. Over these years, he had always let the Profound Heaven Sect be, at most taking out a few resources, also with such considerations.

This battle command was also the same.

After all, by the next Demon Race invasion, he would inevitably have ascended. By then, the Profound Heaven Sect would still need to resist on its own.

It was better to train them early. ===== CHAPTER 773 =====
