If they knew the opponent's full details, it would be fine, but now that they haven't even figured out the opponent's details and are already thinking of attacking them directly, what difference is there between this and seeking death?
If the opponent is truly weak, destroying them would be fine, but if the opponent is very powerful, then they would definitely be the ones to suffer.
Thinking of this, Wuya Sword Master asked, "Then what should we do? Let them be?"
Tianxing City Lord slightly frowned and said, "Let's ignore them for now and wait for the Tiannan Continent side to make a move."
Wuya Sword Master nodded and said, "That's the only way."
Tian Yuan Island Lord smiled and said, "Actually, we can use the surrounding small forces to test their bottom line."
Tianxing City Lord asked, "Are you talking about the forces around the Heaven's Gate Archipelago?"
Tian Yuan Island Lord nodded and said, "Yes, we can use those useless wastes to test Luoxia Merchant Guild and see how the Li Family of Heaven's Gate Archipelago reacts."
Wuya Sword Master suddenly laughed and said, "That Li Family has quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivators. Aren't you afraid they'll target you?"
Tian Yuan Island Lord waved his hand and said, "If they are truly strong enough, we can only give up the Heaven's Gate Archipelago and attack the Tiannan Cultivation World from the Heavenly Devil Archipelago and Nanyuan Archipelago."
Wuya Sword Master nodded and said, "They are also people of our South Sea. We are just testing their strength and won't make enemies of them."
Just at this moment, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator ran in.
"Old Ancestor, something big has happened! There's a change with the Li Family of Heaven's Gate Archipelago. They destroyed the major surrounding forces overnight, leaving only the Heavenly Devil Archipelago and Nanyuan Archipelago."
"After destroying them, they plundered them and then retreated back to the Heaven's Gate Archipelago."
Wuya Sword Master frowned slightly and said, "It seems we don't need to test them anymore. They've put their strength out in the open themselves, so we don't need to test them at all."
Tian Yuan Island Lord sighed and said, "This Li Family is quite strong. They are showing off to both of us, indicating that they don't want to get involved in the conflict between our two major forces and want to stay out of it."
Tianxing City Lord asked, "Do you think it's possible they are a force supported by other sects?"
Wuya Sword Master nodded and said, "That's possible. Otherwise, they wouldn't have risen so suddenly and have so many Nascent Soul Cultivators in such a short time."
He was clearer than anyone else about the rise of the Li Family. It only took less than two hundred years to go from a Qi Refining Stage Family to a Nascent Soul Family.
Tian Yuan Island Lord shook his head and said, "Let's bypass the Heaven's Gate Archipelago. Leave that area as their reserved territory. If they dare to help the Tiannan Cultivation World, then kill them without mercy."
The other two nodded, indicating their agreement.
There was nothing they could do. The strength the Li Family displayed now definitely included Deity Transformation powerhouses. Unless absolutely necessary, they would not make a move on the Heaven's Gate Archipelago.
Just like Wanbao Pavilion and other major forces in the Tiannan Cultivation World, although they also belonged to the forces of the Tiannan Cultivation World, their Pavilion Lord was a Middle Stage Deity Transformation Cultivator, and no one said anything about their neutrality.
After all, now was the time to face external enemies, and falling out with forces like Wanbao Pavilion would be very troublesome.
In case Wanbao Pavilion and other powerful forces suddenly launched a sneak attack on their base while they were fighting with the three major forces of the South Sea, they would definitely suffer a crushing defeat.
After the leaders of the three forces made their decision, they began to attack the Heavenly Devil Archipelago.
To attack the Tiannan Cultivation World, they must take down the Heavenly Devil Archipelago and Nanyuan Archipelago.
The Nanyuan Archipelago had always been in their hands, but the Heavenly Devil Archipelago was different; it had always been controlled by the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Originally, they hadn't taken back the Heavenly Devil Archipelago because they felt they controlled the Nanyuan Archipelago and Heaven's Gate Archipelago. If the Heavenly Demon Sect dared to attack the South Sea Cultivation World, they could seize the initiative and take down the Heavenly Devil Archipelago.
But the situation was different now. The Heaven's Gate Archipelago did not belong to them. They only had the Nanyuan Archipelago, and it was not easy to take down the Heavenly Devil Archipelago.
The combined army of Cultivators led by the three major forces of the South Sea Cultivation World used the Nanyuan Archipelago as a stepping stone and advanced towards the Heavenly Devil Archipelago.
...
On the other side, after the two Deity Transformation Cultivators from the Demon Sect and the Righteous Path Alliance learned about the Li Family's actions, they also broke out in a cold sweat.
If the Li Family only remained neutral, it wouldn't be a big deal for them, but if they helped the South Sea Cultivation World, that would be different.
The Li Family's power was very strong. Being able to annihilate more than ten Nascent Soul forces overnight without them noticing showed that the Heaven's Gate Archipelago was indeed very powerful.
"Old Demon, what do you think we should do?"
"Forget it, the Heaven's Gate Archipelago is a hard nut to crack, not something we can handle. Let's wait until the envoys from the higher sects arrive."
"That's right. Perhaps only when the envoys from the higher sects arrive can we take down the Heaven's Gate Archipelago. Let's take down the Nanyuan Archipelago now and open the gate to the South Sea Cultivation World."
"Yes. Since that's the case, then issue the order. Tell the Tiannan Cultivator army to get ready. Tell them that this time, all the resources they seize by killing enemies belong to them."
"You old fox are quite cunning. Even if you give them these small benefits, what we get will always be the big share."
"Hahaha, let's go. Let's go out and give the order."
Just at this moment, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator rushed over frantically.
"Two Seniors, something big has happened! The South Sea Cultivation World has gathered a large army and is starting to attack the Heavenly Devil Archipelago."
The two Deity Transformation Cultivators exchanged glances, not expecting the three major forces of the South Sea Cultivation World to make a move before they did.
"Good. You pass on the order. Tell all the armies to assemble. Tell them that after killing the enemy, the resources on their bodies all belong to you. No one will snatch a single bit."
"But if anyone dares to desert in battle or disrupt the morale of the army, don't blame this Old Ancestor for being impolite."
That Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator quickly nodded and said, "Yes, two Old Ancestors, this subordinate will go and make the arrangements now."
In this Tiannan Alliance army, there were many rogue Cultivators, most of whom were forced to join.
If they knew this news, they would probably fight with all their might.
After all, what they fought for with their lives was their own, and there was no reason not to give their best.
...
Heaven's Gate Archipelago, Li Zixuan stood on the peak of Luoxia Peak, his gaze looking towards the direction of the Heavenly Devil Archipelago.
"Immortal Xian, do you think they will come looking for trouble with us?"
Li Xianxian shook his head and said, "Family Head, before they figure out the Li Family's strength, neither side dares to attack the Li Family. This is exactly the time for us to seize the opportunity to improve our cultivation."
"No matter how good puppets are, they are ultimately just puppets. If they don't have spiritual origin crystals to power them, they are useless."
"The spiritual origin crystals left by the Old Ancestor are not many. The less we use, the better. Unless it's a critical moment, personal cultivation should still be the priority."
Li Zixuan nodded and said, "You're right, kid. But use the puppets when you should. The Old Ancestor said that the Li Family is never short of spiritual origin crystals."
"Let's go. Come with me to see their great battle and see what a real Cultivator battle looks like."
Li Xianxian nodded, and the two disappeared from Luoxia Peak. They took a teleportation array to the edge of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago.
On the edge of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago, there was a small island. Li Zixuan had people build a teleportation array here and also developed the area.
This place was not far from the Heavenly Devil Archipelago. The battlefield wouldn't spread here, making it a good place to watch the show.
After the two arrived here, they saw that the battle between the two sides had already begun.
Li Xianxian couldn't help but widen his eyes and ask, "Family Head, there are probably more than a hundred thousand Cultivators, right?"
Li Zixuan nodded slightly and said, "This is just the vanguard of both sides. The South Sea Cultivation World and the Tiannan Cultivation World are very large."
"Watch, it won't be long before more Cultivators join the battle. This is probably going to be a long war."
