715: Chapter 715 Turmoil on All Sides

"Seems like I might have overdone it…"

Liu Xuan was worried that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converging toward the East Sea would make the Joyous Union Sect a target for everyone, so he tried to see if he could expand the wither-thrive life-death cauldron's range of devouring vitality.

The wither-thrive life-death cauldron did not directly devour Spiritual Qi; rather, it devoured the Origin vitality of Heaven and Earth. The flow of Spiritual Qi was merely an indirect compensation under the rules of the world's Origin.

Therefore, Liu Xuan thought: if he could directly devour the Origin of the Cangwu Realm indiscriminately, would the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi not flow abnormally?

His idea was correct, and the facts were indeed so, but it caused a bit too much of a stir.

Just now, the water veins of the entire Yin-Yang Archipelago had suddenly trembled, directly causing the Yin-Yang Great Formation to fail for a moment, almost causing him to suffer a backlash from the power he was using to control the formation.

"Fortunately!"

"Fortunately, it recovered in just a moment. Otherwise, if the Spiritual Veins were damaged, the Foundation of the Joyous Union Sect would collapse!"

Liu Xuan secretly rejoiced in his heart, but what he didn't know was that the tremor of the Spiritual Veins was not limited to the water veins of the Yin-Yang Archipelago; rather, all the Spiritual Veins in the entire world had trembled!

"Husband, what kind of Spirit Treasure is this? My Divine Sense actually cannot get close to it!"

Jiang Xingwan held Liu Xuan's hand and stood side by side with him. Their Divine Souls were connected by a secret technique. Logically speaking, any Magical Artifact Liu Xuan could manifest, she should also be able to control simultaneously. However, she was surprised to find that when her Divine Soul power was under her control, it simply could not get close to the small cauldron.

"These roots are stabbing into the Void Realm, as if they are sucking on something?" Jiang Xingwan stared at the roots extending from the cyan small cauldron, a trace of wariness in her eyes.

"It's nothing!"

"Just a treasure used to suppress the formation eye."

Liu Xuan brushed it off casually, then manipulated the Yin-Yang Great Formation to connect with the cave heaven inside his body.

"Hum~"

A spatial vortex opened in front of Liu Xuan, and the spatial vortex rapidly expanded into a huge, stable spatial mirror surface.

The wither-thrive life-death cauldron sank into the spatial mirror surface and disappeared. Subsequently, the Yin and Yang Qi rose up and merged into the spatial mirror surface one after another.

At the same time, wisps of silvery-white spatial power spread and extended, merging with the huge Yin-Yang Taiji diagram manifested above the Yin-Yang Archipelago.

"Done!"

Liu Xuan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. By connecting the cave heaven with the Yin-Yang Great Formation and using the wither-thrive life-death cauldron as the formation eye, he was invincible within the Yin-Yang Archipelago!

Once the four-vein formation of the Joyous Union Sect was completely integrated into one, the entire East Sea coastal area would be his invincible Domain.

"Good, good, good!"

"From today on, unless the Dao Court attacks with all its might, no one who comes to cause trouble will be able to leave without giving an account."

"However, this forced operation of the wither-thrive life-death cauldron to devour the Origin vitality of the world cannot be maintained for long. Once the Divine Soul overlap with Xingwan separates, its devouring effect will gradually weaken, eventually becoming like when it devoured the vitality of the Southern Border—only devouring the vitality of the East Sea."

Liu Xuan carefully sensed it and found that the problem was not major. Now that it was supported by the Medium Grade Spiritual Vein of the Yin-Yang Archipelago, even without his active Divine Soul control, the devouring ability of the wither-thrive life-death cauldron would only slowly decay. It only needed to fuse with Jiang Xingwan every once in a while to input enough Divine Soul power to maintain it generally.

"The general trend is set!"

"All matters in the East Sea region are under my control!"

Liu Xuan waved his hand to hide the cave heaven and the formation, then took Jiang Xingwan's hand and pulled gently, lifting her up by the waist.

"Wife, today is a joyous occasion, how about we celebrate properly?"

Jiang Xingwan didn't quite understand Liu Xuan's operation; she only knew that the Sect's Yin-Yang Great Formation had strengthened a bit. Judging from Liu Xuan's expression, perhaps this strengthening was much greater than what she had seen.

"Since my husband is happy, this concubine will naturally accompany you to the end."

Jiang Xingwan hooked her arms around Liu Xuan's neck, her eyes, bright as stars, carrying a hint of charm.

While Liu Xuan was happily celebrating, the entire Cultivation World was thrown into chaos because of his actions just now.

...

Half an hour ago.

Western Desert.

Immeasurable Pure Land.

Golden Buddha light spread across the land like a scorching sun. In each Buddhist temple, countless Buddhist Cultivators sat cross-legged, and many dignified pure-gold Buddha statues condensed in the sky.

Outside the east side of the Immeasurable Pure Land, the Dao Court's army of Cultivators was densely packed, covering the sky and earth. Spiritual lights of various colors shot straight into the sky, like heavenly soldiers and generals descending to the mortal world. From time to time, spiritual light would crash into the golden Buddha statues of the Immeasurable Pure Land.

The Dao Court's army increased every day, and the offensive grew stronger day by day. Even though the Immeasurable Pure Land occupied the advantage of the Spiritual Vein formation, it could not hold out for long.

Therefore, the Buddhist Sect's strategy was very clear: use the advantage of the Spiritual Vein formation to consume the Dao Court's strength while delaying time, preparing for the evacuation to the Southern Border.

The Dao Court was clear about the Buddhist Sect's plan, but they did not stop it. Their goal was only to conquer the Western Desert, not to exterminate the Buddhist Sect. It was even better if the Buddhist Sect fled.

Originally, both the Dao Court and the Buddhist Sect knew the progress of the war. Once the Buddhist Sect had finished transferring, the Immeasurable Pure Land would be conquered.

Then, an accident happened!

The Buddhist Sect's many Spiritual Veins suddenly rioted, causing the formation to fail instantly. Even the golden light of the Immeasurable Pure Land dimmed for a moment, and most of the dignified Buddha statues in the sky shattered.

The Spiritual Qi of the Buddhist Sect's Spiritual Veins was originally mixed, and the formation's technical content was not high, relying entirely on quantity to support it. Although the Spiritual Qi riot only lasted for a moment, it caused the formation to collectively fail for quite a while.

Fortunately, the Dao Court side was also startled, fearing that the Buddhist Sect had a trap, so they did not seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack immediately. Otherwise, they would definitely have been able to inflict heavy damage during this opportunity.

Even though the Dao Court reacted a beat slower, the Buddhist Sect's losses were still not small. The evacuation plan was disrupted, and many temples and resources had to be abandoned.

...

Beast Taming Sect Main Mountain.

The sudden change made the Peak Soul Transformation Sect Leader's heart jolt. He immediately released his Divine Soul to spread in all directions, while simultaneously ordering the Sect members and Disciples to be on alert immediately.

In just a few breaths of time, countless rays of spiritual light shot into the sky. Many Soul Transformation Dao Lords and Demon Saints, including Lady Yaoguang, gathered at the Heaven and Earth Palace where the Sect Leader was located.

The Beast Taming Sect reacted so strongly because their relationship with the Dao Court had been very tense recently.

In such a sensitive period, the Sect's Spiritual Veins suddenly rioted for no reason, and the Sect Grand Formation failed. With a little association, it was highly likely that the Dao Court intended to take action against them first.

The Beast Taming Sect faced a formidable enemy. It was only after the Spiritual Vein riot subsided and the Sect Grand Formation returned to normal that they all showed expressions of confusion and bewilderment.

"It seems… it wasn't the Dao Court who came; is it that our Spiritual Veins have a problem here?"

The Spiritual Vein was one of the Foundations of a Sect. Even if it was just a Spiritual Vein anomaly, it was not a small matter. The Beast Taming Sect Leader ordered everyone to investigate the specific cause immediately.

...

Central Plains.

Dao Court.

The Dao Court did not escape unscathed either. Although it did not cause great turmoil like other places, it still led to some losses, large and small.

Spiritual Veins all over the world rioted and lost control at the same time. Everyone was curious about what caused it, and whether there was any omen hidden within it?

Regarding this, the Dao Court did not provide any explanation; only one decree was issued.

"Accelerate the progress of the war. Occupy the Western Desert within one month, and the Dao Court army must reach the Southern Border within one year. Anyone who obstructs the war will be executed without exception!"
