Immortal Master Xuan Qing looked at the intelligence report transmitted via the letter in his hand, a furious expression appearing on his face.

He immediately began an investigation within the Sect to find out who the person transmitting the information was.

Furthermore, he notified the other powers and Sects of this news. All minor powers wishing to go to the Fissure in the future must not go alone; they must go directly to one of the Ten Great Sects and travel with their people for a higher safety factor.

Heavenly Profound Sect only ranked seventh among the Ten Great Sects. They were once truly the first, but ever since Lin Tianxuan's Undergoing Tribulation, they have essentially been on a steady decline, slipping little by little until today.

Soon, the Spirit Boat arrived at the location of the Fissure. Below the Fissure was a massive town, a major city jointly governed by the Ten Great Powers, divided into ten districts, with each power managing one district.

The Spirit Boat slowly stopped outside the city. The purpose of this town was to store a large number of Powerhouses and supplies. If the defensive line at the Fissure above encountered any problems, they could provide immediate support and also send up resources and provisions.

At the same time, it was jointly maintained by all parties, serving as a transfer station.

The Heavenly Profound Sect members slowly entered the city. The Daoist Robes they wore showcased their status. Li Haotian and others of high standing rode in carriages, while only a group of Elders led the Disciples to make purchases and gather supplies within the district governed by the Heavenly Profound Sect.

They would officially head to the Fissure above tomorrow morning.

"Wow! Senior Sister! This town is incredible! It covers such a huge area, and almost everyone here is a Cultivator!"

Zhang Hai looked around excitedly. The food sold in the Cultivator's town was generally tastier than that of Mortals.

This was because the ingredients they used contained a large amount of Spiritual Qi, such as roasted Spirit Beast meat or vegetables infused with Spiritual Qi.

Both of their mouths were watering uncontrollably.

Du Xian looked at the two of them helplessly. Although his own craving was also aroused, he wasn't as bad as them.

Outside the city was a desolate area. The entire town was essentially built on wasteland. Outside the city, it was highly likely that no one lived for dozens or even hundreds of miles around.

A gust of wind could kick up a large amount of dust. The Cultivators in the city were all moving quickly; they generally had their own duties and posts here, and if the area above was attacked, they would even participate in the fighting.

At the same time, they also saw some strange and exotic items here, things they had never encountered before.

After Li Haotian arrived at the resting place, he chose not to go out but instead sat cross-legged to Cultivate. A few Disciples quickly returned to their lodgings to pay respects to Li Haotian.

"Revered Master! Revered Master!"

Su Yao excitedly knocked on the door, then walked in and plopped down on Li Haotian's bed.

In her hand was a box containing fragrant, tempting food.

Li Haotian smiled and accepted it. The other two also entered the room.

"Did you hear any useful information about the Fissure in the city? Your Revered Master doesn't know much about it either."

Li Haotian pondered the scroll he had read. That scroll was for the Chief Disciples who had never visited the Fissure to observe.

In fact, only he himself hadn't been; the other Chief Disciples had basically all gone. This was specifically prepared for him.

"We didn't hear any news about the Fissure, but we saw many strange and exotic items, supposedly obtained from within the Fissure."

Su Yao took out a crystal core she held. This item contained refined power, and the white liquid flowing inside was used to nourish the Divine Soul.

Although the Divine Soul doesn't have clear Realm divisions or Cultivation Techniques, its role in combat is still extremely significant.

As long as Cultivators Cultivate and their Cultivation improves, their Divine Soul will also naturally increase in strength. With this item, they can actively absorb the energy within it, making their Divine Soul even more powerful.

In combat, the Divine Soul can make your reactions more agile, and during Cultivation, it can also mobilize more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to surge into your body.

Li Haotian took the crystal core and nodded.

"This item is indeed a product of the Fissure. It contains a lot of energy and Cultivation resources. Once we reach the Fissure, you must find ways to obtain them yourselves."

The three Disciples all nodded.

This town usually sells a large quantity of these crystal cores, all brought down from above. The price of these crystal cores is extremely high because they contain the purest power, which Cultivators can absorb directly.

Thereby increasing their strength at the fastest speed.

Li Haotian had no particular thoughts about this; he didn't rely on such items for his Cultivation. However, his Disciples could certainly acquire some of these resources for their Cultivation.

While everyone was resting in the middle of the night, an alarm sounded in the sky.

All the Disciples who were Cultivating withdrew from their Cultivation, immediately came outside, and looked up at the sky.

A Quasi-Emperor level Heavenly Profound Sect Powerhouse was hovering above.

"All Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples who came for this rotation, prepare immediately! The Fissure is under attack! You must now head to the Fissure to provide reinforcement!"

A large number of Disciples quickly gathered and mobilized. After the Elders of each peak finished roll call, they immediately led the Disciples and flew toward the Fissure in the sky.

Li Haotian did the same, following the mighty crowd flying into the sky. Besides them, the Powerhouses of the other Ten Great Powers also moved.

Plunging into the spatial fissure, what met their eyes was not a vague, ethereal space. The sun hung high in the sky, and clouds and plants were abundant—it was just like an independent Small World.

Surrounding them was a massive city. Black and gray city walls stood tall, and dust continuously shook off them.

At this moment, fierce fighting was erupting on the city walls. A giant, a thousand zhang tall, was furiously assaulting the city wall with his powerful Physical Body. Behind him, a large number of Powerhouses were attacking.

Countless ranged Cultivators on the city wall were frantically attacking him, and Powerhouses specializing in Physical Body Cultivation were engaging him in direct melee combat.

This was only one-thousandth, or even one ten-thousandth, of the city wall on the battlefield; the other areas were equally intense.

Everyone emerged from the Fissure, looking at the scene before them with some shock.

Those who had participated in battles immediately ascended the city wall, found their respective camps, and joined the fight.

Heavenly Profound Sect Powerhouses also quickly ascended the city wall under the guidance of the Elders, beginning to repel the enemy.

After Zhang Hai and the other two greeted them, they immediately rushed onto the city wall to assist in the defense. Li Haotian, meanwhile, led the Great Emperor Powerhouses to the Command Center in the city.

This city has a history of tens of thousands of years. The various buildings inside were all constructed by the Cultivators of that era and have been used continuously until today.

These Powerhouses usually just need to be stationed near the Command Center. After all, they don't need to attack; they only need to defend. If a problem arises somewhere, they can hold fast at this location.
