Li Chuping led the Sword Cultivators flying at the front. The current Blue Mountain sea area was already bustling, with Sea Clan members everywhere, blocking out the sky and covering the earth, endless.

The main force of the Sea Clan had truly arrived.

At this time, it was not wise to confront them directly. If they inadvertently angered the Sea Clan, not only would they suffer losses themselves, but it would also be detrimental to their greater plans.

The Sea Clan that had returned now did not have much fighting spirit. They were ordered to congregate quickly at the Blue Mountain Island Divine Mountain, rather than engaging in skirmishes at sea with humans, so they would not pursue this group relentlessly.

The familiar environment for Sea Demons was in the sea, while humans thrived on land, in the sky, where neither side held an advantage.

Through a series of real and feigned pursuits and blockades, they gradually distanced themselves from Blue Mountain Island, hovering hundreds of miles away, waiting. Encountering large groups of Sea Demons, they would hide, but if they found soft targets, they would attack, as part of their strategy.

In this position, they were not worried about missing the human cultivator army, as it was not just a single cultivator but an army of thousands of cultivators, incapable of concealing their presence.

During these few days out, they had encountered large groups of tens of thousands of demons several times, which then became increasingly sparse, signaling the end.

"It seems that the Sea Clan numbers should exceed a hundred thousand. They appear to block out the sky, but most are low-rank Foundation Establishment demons putting up a facade. We don't know how many Great Demons are among them," Yu Zhengxing said with experience.

Li Chuping gave a faint smile, "It's as if they've gotten smarter, even learning to hide their strength? But the Great Demons must be among them, otherwise they couldn't protect Blue Mountain Island."

Yu Zhengxing laughed, "The Demon Beasts from Outer Space are indeed very cunning, as if they've seen much of the world. This time we strive to defeat them and make them docile for hundreds of years."

Li Chuping sighed, "It depends on whether those three can break the seal of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain. Personally, it feels too difficult. That is the great power of nature, not something that individuals can shake, even if they come from the Upper Realm, they still must abide by the laws of the Cultivation World."

Yu Zhengxing disagreed, "Why do you say the two from the Upper Realm? I don't believe they can, but whether our Sect Hierarch can achieve it is uncertain. From his entire rise, not a single thing was according to natural law. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the same this time."

As they spoke, the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Master from Ying Platform above their heads transmitted, "They've arrived!"

The Masters' perception was more acute, and after a moment, everyone felt a surge of Spiritual Pressure rushing toward them, different from the aura of a large congregation of cultivation creatures: it was a unique phenomenon caused by large building rafts crushing the spiritual energy in the air.

Besides humans, no other races were adept at creating building raft artifacts.

They finally arrived, and hundreds raced forward, feeling anxious, unsure whether rallying the massive army was right or wrong.

The building rafts, like a tidal wave, numbered in the hundreds, large and small. This truly was bringing all of Southwest's assets. If anything went wrong, they would be criminals of history.

On the leading building raft, Li Chuping and the others saw the Masters from the various sects of the Southwest, along with preachers from a few smaller dao traditions, all gathered here, eager to know the specific situation of Blue Mountain Island.

Nine Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators had come, along with other Daoist Masters, including Taihao of Wei Country, Hun Cheng of Hu Xia, Yun Zhang from Blood Transformation, Wo Sect from Linhai, Bai Shen from Shangqiu, Anhe Daoist, Gaochang Buddhist Sect, Xinye Buddhist Sect; excluding the Wu Sect, this was the entirety of the Southwest Cultivation World.

Seeing the five Masters from Ying Platform, everyone sighed with emotion; once a strong sect with nine masters, now only five were left. Ying Platform had suffered greatly this time; but then again, Ying Platform had avoided centuries of internal strife on the continent, perhaps this disaster was a balance from the Heavenly Dao?

Master Xu saw them, and despite his usually calm Heart Realm, he could not suppress his eagerness, "How is it? Is it on Blue Mountain Island?"

Li Chuping replied solemnly, "The Sea Clan is setting up at the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain on Blue Mountain Island. They won't leave there, as inside the Divine Mountain are embryos of their bloodline being recreated, totaling tens of thousands of eggs. It's not something they can easily give up."

He briefly described the situation on Blue Mountain. This information had actually been mentioned by Aunt Nineteen, but not as thoroughly as he did.

Master Xu squinted his eyes, they seemed to have reached their goal, but whether they could ultimately succeed remained uncertain.

This Southwest alliance, thanks to prior communications and without the Wu Sect hindering them from behind, was progressing relatively smoothly; the entire Southwest Cultivation World reached a consensus that battling the Sea Clan at sea was far superior to letting them into the inland.

The only question was whether they could find the Sea Clan's main force?

Thus, as soon as Aunt Nineteen returned, the Southwest became abuzz with excitement, the building rafts long prepared, the cultivators ready, though there was a twist: the message they received requested them to bring along low-rank Foundation Establishment cultivators?

For an expedition to the high seas, this was a foolish move: low-rank cultivators could not determine the outcome of the war, they were just cannon fodder.

But for the first time in her life, Aunt Nineteen lied, telling the Masters of the various sects that Shangqing Tianfeng Daoist was confident of reopening the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain when the battle began, thus drawing the battle to the ground. If so, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators would be significant.

Ten Foundation Establishments surely couldn't kill one Golden Core in the air, but if they competed on the ground, perhaps a Golden Core wouldn't be able to withstand, and without divine skills and techniques, relying solely on courage and tenacity, a siege would be a messy affair.

Aunt Nineteen was quite talented at lying, even knowing to pin the blame on Shangqing's head. She knew if she said it was Hierarch Hou's idea, these people might not have believed it.

Since the plan changed, they delayed a few days, bringing all Foundation Establishment cultivators with some expertise, along with a large number of loose cultivators, promising great profits with rewards for themselves.

For mountain and field loose cultivators, it could be a journey of death but also a potential opportunity, for the Sea Clan was wealthy and every part of their body was a treasure, which naturally stirred excitement in people.

If not taking to the skies, but competing in martial skills and courage, cunning and shamelessness on the ground, these loose cultivators were all experts, and overnight, the armor types of artifacts in the Southwest Cultivation Marketplace were sold out. These guys donned all sorts of strange and peculiar armors, some bought and some self-forged, boarding the building rafts bound for Blue Mountain Island. Seeing the sect disciples similarly equipping themselves with all kinds of items, they knew they had come to the right place.

Therefore, for the Southwest Cultivation World, this truly was an all-out mobilization, with everyone aiming for a decisive battle to establish future peace in Qian Kun, securing at least five hundred years of tranquility for Lizhi Sea.

This meant even low-rank Foundation Establishment cultivators could venture into the deep sea to search for treasures in the coming centuries, which was enormously exciting.

As they journeyed, there were also large numbers of pirates and over a thousand visitors from Anchor Chain of the Upper Realm, whose intentions were undoubtedly impure, yet remarkably aligned in the mindset of slaughtering the Sea Clan.
