The number of Sea Clan returning from the coastal areas gradually increased. Compared to humans, the organizational level of the Sea Clan was on a different tier. Their sea tide was just a rough timing and direction, and then everyone converged on that point, eventually forming a Beast Tide.

Hoping for the Sea Clan to line up neatly, dividing into the vanguard, the main army, and the rear guard was unlikely. When benefits were present, everyone wanted to be in the vanguard, and during a retreat, nobody was willing to guard the rear. That's roughly how it was.

Therefore, when the news of reinforcements spread, those who received the news early started returning, while those who received it late were slower. Of course, this referred to the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Sea Demons; the Nascent Soul Great Demons would not act rashly because they understood the risks.

The interception by the Sword Cultivators started from scattered groups. Intercepting ten or dozens of Sea Demons was not difficult; they typically wouldn't fight to the death and would dive into the water upon seeing a losing battle…

Fighting near their home had its advantages, but one thing to note was that they wouldn't run onto the island. This was due to the Sea Clan's assessment of dangerous environments, much like how humans would retreat to the land when things went wrong.

In the first three days after the Sea Clan started appearing, the interception was relatively easy. After three days, the pressure began to increase, and a hundred cultivators from Ying Platform joined in, but for such a large island, it was like a drop in the ocean.

But the interception was still meaningful because, being uncertain of the situation, the Sea Demons did not dare land easily so they couldn't discover the Blue Mountain Island filled with locals rushing about, armed and bearing a strong sense of revenge.

In the Sea Clan's landing seven years ago, almost every tribe suffered immense losses. For Blue Mountain, a place of simple life unified by Witchcraft, it was a tremendous disgrace and a deep-seated hatred.

Now, they finally got the opportunity. Seeing human cultivators fighting the Sea Clan in the sky, their courage was renewed. Thus, persuading the Blue Mountain natives to fight was not too difficult.

Every nation has the determination to protect their home and country, as long as they can see a glimmer of hope.

The returning Sea Demons increased, with groups of several hundred now appearing, showing intent to approach Blue Mountain. Meanwhile, human cultivators began suffering injuries during interceptions, marking the seventh day of the Sea Clan's reinforcements.

Luckily, the large-scale movement of the Blue Mountain natives was fully in place. They plunged into the ubiquitous caves of Blue Mountain, effectively disappearing from sight from the sky, and the Sea Clan was not meticulously precise either.

Human cultivators began contracting towards the two Divine Mountains, forming groups to resist, and had indeed won a few battles. Under the assault of the Sword Sect, the performance of Ying Platform cultivators was also commendable.

However, such victories held no significance in the face of the boundless Sea Clan army. On the tenth day, the first Sea Clan Beast Tide exceeding ten thousand appeared, prompting the human cultivators to make their final decision.

No discussion was needed; nothing could be changed, they could only charge forward blindly.

Hou Niao held the highest position here, naturally making the decision, "I have decided. The Sword Sect and Ying Platform divisions will head out to sea and locate the main force of the Southwest cultivator army. It has been twenty-five days, and the destination is clear; they should not be far now.

Find them, lead them over here, the battlefield is at the two Divine Mountains!"

A few nodded, and Li Chuping, who was involved in the decision-making process, certainly understood their true aim. It seemed that their goal to seek a decisive battle had been reached, but whether they could decimate the enemy depended on the capabilities of these three. If they could only scatter the Sea Clan, it wouldn't be of much significance, as the Sea Clan could regroup and return, causing endless trouble.

No farewells were exchanged. For cultivators, this was just another regular choice in their cultivation journey, for humanity and themselves. To fully articulate it was impossible.

The Sword Cultivators and Ying Platform cultivators ascended into the air one after another, flying off the island and disappearing in no time, leaving the three of them staring at each other,

Finally, Hou Niao forced a smile and said, "The Sea Clan Great Demons will soon gather at the Heavenly Pit. Shall we each resort to our methods and entrust our fate to the heavens?"

Tianfeng, "As you wish."

Hong Xiu, "As it should be."

Given the choice to stay here, do not expect assistance from others; that's the rule. If any should be discovered by the Sea Clan due to inadequate hiding, they must handle it themselves. Likewise, do not expect others to lend a hand; it is a personal matter.

The three came to an agreement and disappeared into the Heavenly Pit, leaving their next moves to their own capabilities.

Daoist Tianfeng merged into the darkness, his body slowly transforming into Pure Qi, openly attaching itself to the energy barrier. There is a name for this technique: Pure and Turbid Qi Create the Void. As long as there was a place with energy fluctuations, it could serve as his hiding place. The Primordial Magnetic Power was vast and unparalleled, though somewhat mottled, which was an inevitable phenomenon of natural energy. As long as there were such blemishes, he had a chance to attach himself.

He was waiting for the Sea Clan's reinforcement to meet with the Sea Demons inside the barrier. In all likelihood, since the threat of human cultivators was no more, the Sea Clan inside wouldn't keep themselves locked in. Prominent Great Demons outside might also enter to check the egg cases. Once any from the Sea Clan came and went, it would be his opportunity.

Fairy Hong Xiu chose a different path. Inside the Heavenly Pit, there were countless low-lying areas filled with water due to the oceanic climate with abundant rainfall, providing her, an expert in Water Element, the perfect hiding spots.

Taking out a piece of tortoiseshell stone, this was actually an independent hidden space. As long as there was water, she could activate her solitary space and move freely. Among the water-pitted areas were numerous such stones, blending in indistinctly, emitting no trace of presence.

This item was not the crafting of a Nascent Soul Master, but the work of a True Monarch or possibly some Yang God able to thread beads, given to her before departure. Thus, she had no worries about having her hiding place detected. There were no such cultivation creatures on Jinxiu Continent, be they Sea Clan or humans.

She too was eyeing the opportunity when the Sea Clan would transition. The energy barrier couldn't remain indefinitely, as it consumed a vast amount of Primordial Magnetic Power, detrimental to the incubation of egg cases. Over this month, the tens of thousands of egg cases inside constantly suffered from an insufficient energy supply. She had seen some egg cases showing faint black lines, which was due to lack of energy. Such egg cases were essentially considered wasted. She doubted the Sea Clan would disregard such losses.

For those like her and Tianfeng from the Upper Realm, their observation focus and personal insight were unlike that of Jinxiu indigenous people. So even viewing the same situation, they could discern different insights.

Now she began her watchful wait, a bit curious about what Sect Hierarch Hou would do?

She had seen this troublemaker use Earth Escape to drill underground. But to think such a crude method would allow infiltration was nothing short of naive dreaming.

Underestimating the Sea Clan and underestimating those Outer Space Demons.

There would be lessons to learn!
