After the other four cultivators on the Spirit Ship chased away, they returned to attack White Jade City, but the cultivators were not faring well.

Although under their relentless attack, the whole Mountain Protection Array of White Jade City became more and more fragile, already on the verge of being utterly breached, there were just too many 'Peak of Qi Refining Stage' cultivators on White Jade City.

While Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators can crush all Peak of Qi Refining cultivators in single combat, and even when outnumbered, they can still maintain an advantage.

But they can't withstand the sheer number of enemies.

Even in the world of cultivation, there's a saying about the tactics of overwhelming numbers.

Any cultivator of a certain realm can potentially be killed by numerous cultivators of a lower realm.

It all depends on the numbers.

For example, ten Peak of Qi Refining cultivators have more than a fifty percent chance of surrounding and killing an early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

If there are twenty Peak of Qi Refining cultivators, then as long as they are united, cooperate appropriately, and are brave and fearless, they have a one hundred percent guarantee to kill an early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators from three cultivation aristocratic families dared to indiscriminately assault the enemy headquarters at White Jade City because, in their eyes, apart from the seven from Lingxiao Sect and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators like Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, the rest of Earth's cultivators were too weak.

Take, for instance, the three hundred and seventy-two people they previously killed, the strongest was Innate Realm, whose combat power at most equaled a QI Refinement Realm cultivator at the fifth or sixth level.

Such QI Refinement Realm cultivators for these Foundation Establishment masters were simply ants, easily slaughtered like cutting vegetables.

But little did they know, among the more than seven hundred people at White Jade City, there were over thirty Divine Travel Realm cultivators.

Most importantly, the Divine Sense of Divine Travel Realm cultivators was as strong as late-stage Qi Refinement, and some (old Divine Travel Realm cultivators) had Divine Sense that was not much weaker than these early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In such a situation, ten Divine Travel Realm cultivators teamed up against one of them, plus the defensive effect of the Mountain Protection Array to some extent, meant they couldn't do anything against this group of 'weak ants' in a short time.

With one person's Divine Soul injured and fleeing, the others grew more alarmed as they fought.

Just at this moment, the return of the Spirit Ship stirred from afar, and these few cultivators who returned to attack White Jade City dared not continue fighting, immediately fleeing.

The Spirit Ship returned over White Jade City. Sensing the Mountain Protection Array was on the verge of collapse, almost completely breached, Qin Yanyang and the others felt a silent fear.

Fortunately, it returned in time; otherwise, if the array were breached, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, as everyone quickly understood the real battle situation, they were all shocked.

Unexpectedly, so many Divine Travel Realm cultivators working together could resist the powerful combat strength of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The few from Lingxiao Sect were secretly astonished and had to reevaluate the strength of Earth's existing Divine Travel Realm cultivators.

"After all this trouble, although only one enemy was killed, the enemy's overall strength was reduced somewhat, and now they're somewhat exhausted and dare not provoke easily again," Linglong said.

Everyone silently nodded.

Yun Zong said to Qin Yanyang, "I suggest we stop chasing for now. The enemy already understands our intentions; they will act separately and, while we chase certain individuals, others will come to attack White Jade City, forcing us to return for aid."

"Yun Zong is right. The urgent matter is to have Lu Chen repair and improve the Mountain Protection Array, and cooperate with those Divine Travel Realm cultivators for defense to better resist the enemy's next wave of attack," Ye Wuya said.

Qin Yanyang sighed inwardly.

Originally hoping to use the Spirit Ship for assistance, they could continuously chase and exhaust the enemy, ultimately achieving total annihilation.

Now it seems rather naive.

As long as the enemy fights guerrilla, they can break the deadlock, but the effect of such actions is too small.

Even if the enemy gets slowly exhausted to death, it's something far in the future.

During this process, even if they have time to rest on the Spirit Ship, the overall cultivation time for everyone is very limited.

Moreover, if the time drags on too long, the third Southern Domain squad might arrive, bringing new enemies, increasing in numbers, entering a vicious cycle.

She made a quick decision, saying, "Let's follow Ye's idea. We'll first repair the Mountain Protection Array, everyone take a few days to rest, and once the array is restored, go south to support our arriving allies. As for the enemy, as long as they don't cause trouble, we'll ignore them, focus on cultivation, and enhancing strength is the most important."

"Indeed, only by improving our overall combat power or by cultivating more Foundation Establishment cultivators can we change the current predicament."

"If we could promote one or several Core Formation masters, then even if the Southern Domain couldn't send any Core Formation masters, Earth's absolute safety would be secured," Gan Qian sighed.

Everyone secretly swallowed.

Core Formation masters!

Who doesn't want to advance to become a Core Formation master as soon as possible?

But it's easier said than done?

Although Earth discovered an ultra-large top-grade spiritual ore resource, other cultivation resources might not be abundant, and to successfully form a Core, besides the cultivation reaching the Peak of Late-stage Foundation Establishment, it's best to have both Chao Yuan Pill and Gathering Peak Pill as auxiliary elixirs.

Since the people from Lingxiao Sect entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, they've been preparing for the future Core Formation Stage, collecting more or less some materials related to refining Chao Yuan Pill and Gathering Peak Pill over the years.

But combined, the materials collected by the seven are far from enough to refine even one pill.

For other herbs and materials, they can only rely on what they find on Earth.

However, Earth has this huge top-grade spiritual ore and even Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, an ancient Divine Beast, plus the powerful legacy left by Li Er, surely there are plenty of other rare natural treasures related to cultivation.

The Plane World, with spiritual energy just starting to revive, is in a stage of flourishing development, with any possibility.

In the following time, Lu Chen, with the help of Tong Yunshu and Zhuge Cang, worked hard to repair the Mountain Protection Array.

They didn't disturb Yang Fei because even without Yang Fei, Lu Chen could successfully create such a Mountain Protection Array singlehandedly.

Now with the assistance of Tong Yunshu and Zhuge Cang, three days at most, they could complete repairing the array.

Lu Chen even guaranteed that if given enough time, he could further enhance the array's defensive levels.

As for the others, they seized the time to cultivate.

The five hundred Martial Artists and the Military Department elite worked overtime, crazily mining Spirit Stones, and Qin Yanyang issued an order, distributing all Genetic Liquid Medicine brought to cultivators above Divine Travel Realm, meanwhile, the Spirit Stone resources allocated to Divine Travel Realm cultivators were doubled.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

During this time, the enemy never reappeared, and White Jade City experienced a brief period of peaceful days.

Only Helian Zhan, Ouyang He, and Zhao Wannian were worried.

Because, calculating the time, the teams from Poison Sect, Helian Family, and Qingtian Sect were about to arrive.

A few more days passed, and one night, a strong aura suddenly emerged from the Spirit Ship.

On White Jade City, everyone was awakened by this powerful aura, rushing out to investigate the situation.

"It's Yang Fei!"

"Such a strong aura, is...is this a breakthrough?"
