The respected Bamboo disregarded whether it was talking to itself, as if there were two familiar friends separated by a barrier in front of him, speaking softly,

"Now it's fine, you have achieved your purpose, and we have achieved ours. So let's see, in the end, who exactly has achieved their goal? If you reveal yourselves, I think perhaps we can have a good conversation, talk about the story of the Sea Clan. Here is the center of the Sea Clan's large formation, if you do not recklessly run out to report, I won't do anything to you either. After all, we both come from the Upper Realm; we are different from them, we have our own way of interacting within us."

Silently, in the darkness of the Heavenly Pit, two human figures appeared. Tianfeng and Hong Xiu revealed their presence. For them, this game was lost, and losing means accepting, rather than refusing to admit. This respected Bamboo had not opened the barrier for more than ten days since the army's arrival, which fully explained his stance. Trying to sneak in again was destined to be impossible, so it was better to be straightforward. At least they could understand why all this was happening?

They were not worried about safety; first, they relied on their own skills, second, as the respected Bamboo said, they were both guests from the Upper Realm, with their own unique way of interacting in their circle. Even though the Jinxiu people lay dead across Blue Mountain Island, for them it was still a graceful contest.

Whether it was the respected Bamboo, or Tianfeng and Hong Xiu, even if they never showed it, deep down inside they did not see themselves as the same as the Jinxiu people. That's why it was like manipulating pieces on a chessboard.

The three of them sat facing each other across the barrier, even if they were close at hand, they seemed far away beyond the sky, unreachable.

Daoist Tianfeng showed no trace of frustration at his failure, "I'm very curious about your purpose in doing this? Even if these seventy or eighty thousand egg shells really hatch something remarkable, what do you think you can change? Besides provoking the entire continent's collective rage, you gain nothing."

The respected Bamboo's words were shocking, "No reason, because they are nothing at all, so why should I worry?"

Tianfeng's gaze became fierce; he understood, "So these egg shells were just for show?"

The respected Bamboo made a harsh scraping sound with bamboo strips, "Of course! To enhance the Beast Clan's bloodline by thousands and make them stronger, with greater potential, and in greater numbers, without any side effects, has there been such a heaven-defying method in the Universe Cultivation Realm in a million years? If there were, it would have been eradicated long ago, leaving no room for us in the Ancient Territory to survive until now.

This is an act against the Heavenly Dao, we dare not do it, nor does anyone dare to do so; it's a forbidden area."

Daoist Tianfeng's heart began to sink; he truly felt something was amiss, but now the entire situation could no longer be stopped. As the respected Bamboo said, the two of them couldn't get out at all, they were at the center of the Sea Clan's array of two hundred thousand, beyond their ability now. Perhaps for this reason, the respected Bamboo wanted to talk to them, as a show of boasting after achieving his plan.

Generally, for Demon Beasts, merely defeating humans by force is nothing to be proud of, but to outwit humans in strategy is a lifetime boast for them.

"The truth is, the Sea Clan also wants to invite us for a final battle on Blue Mountain Island, isn't it?"

The respected Bamboo chuckled, "Of course, it's a contest within the rules, no need to worry about divine retribution, each relying on intelligence and strategy; but we needed an excuse. Humans are too cunning, if we acted first, humans would surely overthink, and in the end, it would result in nothing, like drawing water with a bamboo basket. So we designed this place, such a scenario...

The failure of Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain on Blue Mountain Island will surely be noticed by humans. Seven years, even the dullest would not be completely ignorant. Then you would come here to investigate, discover these numerous egg shells, worry about their real impact on humans after hatching, and conclude that this is the Sea Clan's unavoidable weakness. Your army would then arrive as expected."

The respected Bamboo shrugged, "Of course, what happened on Ying Platform surprised us a lot. We originally had other methods arranged for you to discover the secret of Blue Mountain Island, but we didn't expect you to reinforce Ying Platform first and beat those Sea Clan members until they cried out for their parents, hmm, truly impressive.

But it could be considered a means to the same end, right? Otherwise, why do you think the Sea Clan would obediently retreat? We actually have better responses, like everyone doing a scene on the sea during the retreat? Or you attack Blue Mountain, and we invade the Southwest Continent?

We returned because we wanted to return, not because you tricked us, and there's a big difference in that."

The respected Bamboo was quite talkative, evidently enjoying all this, but while he was having a good time, the two Daoists were not,

"I have observed Jinxiu's past sea tides and beast tides, chaotic, without any highlights, just rushing in a swarm, then being controlled and turned dizzily, and finally suffering a disastrous defeat. So, this time, I want to fight a different war; I want humans to know that the Demon Beast Clan does not fear decisive battles. They just don't know how to fight, not that they lack the strength to fight."

Tianfeng frowned, "Good strategy! But your application of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain is not without reason, I guess, Daoist Bamboo, you turned Primordial Magnetic Power into an array battery, is that right?"

The respected Bamboo laughed heartily, "You understand me, Daoist Tianfeng! I can fool these Jinxiu bumpkins but not fellow visitors from the Upper Realm! Indeed, so there's not much of a so-called earth-shattering conspiracy. Humans always overthink, what started as a simple thing, a military art, gets dragged into discussions of human survival and Jinxiu's future, isn't that tiresome?

Once my array activates, and when humans gather into formations, I will sweep across them. What do you think? The essence of human warfare is organization and discipline, something that the Demon Beast Clan can never compare to, so what I strike at is your organization, your discipline.

Or, shall humans and the Sea Clan engage in chaotic warfare? Compete in numbers?"

Even Tianfeng was momentarily speechless, having to admit that this respected Bamboo truly had a unique talent. Being a Demon Beast yet possessing such skillful and exquisite military art was truly peculiar. The crucial part was that its method was very effective; when both sides form ranks and fight, sweeping human cultivator formations with the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light would cause inevitable chaos, regardless of how many could be killed.

If the human cultivator army loses the advantage of their formations and descends into chaotic fighting, their advantage in individual capabilities would be offset by the Sea Clan's numbers, with the outcome self-evident.

"I want to know, were the Beast Tides erupting across the Jinxiu Continent pre-planned by you?"

The respected Bamboo waved his hand, "That's another question, unrelated to today's battle on Blue Mountain. I won't answer you."
