111: Should we attack the Myriad Spirits Sect directly?

Spirit Transformation Realm!

As the thought appeared in everyone's mind,

The two Old Ancestors, Jin and Huo, as well as True Lord Sanhai, all held their breath for a moment.

The atmosphere in the main hall was incredibly oppressive.

Spirit Transformation... How is this possible?!

"Fellow Daoist Wanjian, you and I both know that in this East Sea Region, a mighty expert of the Spirit Transformation Realm has not appeared for thousands of years."

After a long while, True Lord Sanhai slowly spoke, breaking the suffocating silence.

His face, which was originally full of majesty, was now filled with endless solemnity and... absurdity.

"Ever since the super-force 'Tidal Palace', which once dominated the entire East Sea, was annihilated overnight for unknown reasons, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in our East Sea Region has been declining day by day."

"To this day, the Spiritual Qi concentration in this region is no longer sufficient to support the existence of a Spirit Transformation Realm expert."

Old Ancestor Huo, clad in fire armor, also echoed in a muffled voice, "That's right, not only the Spiritual Qi, but even the Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill that could assist Cultivators in breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm has long since lost its Legacy."

"This is not because our generation of Cultivators lacks talent, but truly due to the limitations of Heaven and Earth and the scarcity of resources."

A trace of helplessness and desolation flashed in Old Ancestor Jin's ancient eyes.

"For thousands of years, this predicament has long become a... shackles (shackle) hanging over the heads of all Nascent Soul Cultivators in our East Sea."

"Back then, whether it was the founding Ancestral Master of my Beast Taming Sect, or the founding Ancestral Master of your Myriad Spirits Manor, or even the first City Lord of Three Seas City..."

"Which one of them wasn't an astonishingly talented Prodigy, capable of dominating an era?"

"But even powerful individuals like them, after Cultivating to the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, were still firmly stuck outside the threshold of the Soul Transformation Realm by the shackles of this world!"

"Ultimately, in order to seek that slim Opportunity for Breakthrough, they could only helplessly choose to leave this East Sea that nurtured them, and venture alone into the Endless Sea, which was full of infinite dangers and unknowns."

This was the most cruel and helpless reality of the East Sea Region for thousands of years.

Soul Transformation had long become a... legend that only existed in ancient texts.

But now... Daoist Wanjian actually said that Jianxin's death might be related to a Spirit Transformation Realm existence?!

This was simply a fantasy, shocking to hear.

However, facing the trio's doubts, Daoist Wanjian's ancient, unperturbed face showed no wavering.

He slowly rose, his ancient eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through all illusions in the world, slowly swept over the faces of the three.

"What the three Fellow Daoists have said, this Venerable naturally knows."

"But Jianxin's death is a fact!"

He changed the subject, and his voice, filled with endless coldness and chilling killing intent, slowly sounded.

"And the reason he died was because he had been secretly investigating a... strange matter that has recently been frequently occurring in our East Sea Region."

"The matter of Mortals' Divine Souls being seized from villages."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Sanhai and The two Old Ancestors, Jin and Huo, all felt a sudden chill in their hearts.

"To be frank, Fellow Daoist Wanjian," True Lord Sanhai spoke first, his expression equally solemn, "This matter also frequently occurs within the area governed by my Three Seas City."

"Many Mortal villages have turned into silent ghost realms overnight.

All villagers, regardless of age, died tragically, their Divine Souls seemingly forcibly extracted by some invisible, strange entity."

"This Venerable once dispatched many people to investigate, but ultimately found nothing!

The mastermind acted incredibly strangely, leaving no useful clues whatsoever."

"My Beast Taming Sect is also the same," Old Ancestor Jin said in a deep voice, killing intent fully revealed in his majestic eyes: "This matter is too strange and too malicious, utterly devoid of conscience."

Daoist Wanjian nodded slowly upon hearing this.

"It seems the three Fellow Daoists have all noticed this matter."

He paused, then said word by word,

"And all of this only started happening after the emergence of that newly rising mysterious force—the Myriad Spirits Gate!"

"Jianxin died precisely because he was investigating this matter!"

"Therefore, this Venerable can conclude that the mastermind must be the Myriad Spirits Gate."

"And Jianxin must have discovered some astonishing secret during his investigation, which ultimately led to him falling victim to that hidden existence's... poisonous hand."

Boom—!!!!

These words, like bolts of Chaos Divine Thunder, once again heavily struck the hearts of True Lord Sanhai and The two Old Ancestors, Jin and Huo.

Their faces were filled with unparalleled shock.

Could it be... that the Myriad Spirits Gate, which had just recently emerged, truly concealed a mighty Spirit Transformation Realm expert?!

But... but this simply doesn't make sense.

"No, that's not right."

Old Ancestor Jin suddenly thought of something, and a strong sense of confusion flashed in his majestic eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Wanjian, as far as I know, the Myriad Spirits Gate is an ally of the Blood Fiend Sect, and is currently confronting my Beast Taming Sect in Fallen Immortal City."

"If the Myriad Spirits Gate truly had a mighty Spirit Transformation Realm expert guarding it,"

"Why would it engage in a protracted battle with my Beast Taming Sect?!"

"Just let that supreme existence personally take action, and looking across the entire East Sea Region, who could possibly resist?"

This was also the doubt in True Lord Sanhai's heart.

Indeed!

The Spirit Transformation Realm was a supreme existence capable of crushing everything.

With a single thought, they could overturn mountains and rivers!

With a flick of a finger, they could suppress and kill Nascent Souls!

Possessing such absolute power capable of overwhelming everything, why would they need to play these schemes and tricks?!

For a time, the entire hall fell silent once again.

Everyone's hearts were shrouded in a thick fog.

"So..."

After a long while, Daoist Wanjian's voice, filled with endless determination and killing intent, sounded again, breaking the deadly silence,

"This Venerable invited the three Fellow Daoists today precisely to invite you all to join this Venerable in attacking the Myriad Spirits Gate's main headquarters."

"To personally unveil that mysterious veil covering it."

"To investigate who that hidden existence truly is!"

His ancient eyes, filled with endless Battle Intent, slowly scanned the three people present.

"With the combined strength of the four of us, even if we truly face a genuine Spirit Transformation Realm mighty expert,"

"We may not be without the power to fight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, huge waves were stirred in the hearts of The two Old Ancestors, Jin and Huo, as well as True Lord Sanhai.

Directly attack their headquarters?!

This... this was simply too crazy.

That was a terrifying force suspected of having a Spirit Transformation Realm mighty expert guarding it.

A slight misstep could lead to death and eternal damnation.

The three fell silent.

As the highest authorities of their respective forces, every action they took affected the future and destiny of their entire Sect.

They could not, and dared not, so easily stake their entire Sect on this gamble of unknown outcome.

Watching the three fall silent, Daoist Wanjian did not urge them.

He slowly closed his eyes.

"This matter is of great importance, and the three Fellow Daoists need time to deliberate and consider; this Venerable can understand."

"However..."

His voice, filled with endless majesty, slowly sounded.

"I hope the three of you can give a reply as soon as possible."

"After all, the time left for us may not be much."

The three fell silent.
