Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1321: Chapter 1096: Joining the Battle

Southern Continent.

High on the mountain altar, surrounded by jade buildings and immortal cranes and divine birds, it felt like an immortal realm.

There were Ye Xiaose from Taishang Sect, Ge Baoyang from True Yang Sect, Lin Qiluo from Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, Zhan Tianyi from Yixian Dao, Ren Xiaoyao from Five Directions Temple, Yu Lei from Qiankun Sect...

Numerous top experts of the Daoist Sects gathered here, standing at one corner of the altar.

Among them, Ge Baoyang from True Yang Sect had a solemn and profound look. His square face and dark red eyes like bronze bells gave off a strong aura of oppression.

Lin Qiluo from Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, with her plump figure and beautiful appearance, still had a touch of grace, yet there was no lack of authority between her eyebrows.

Ren Xiaoyao from the Five Directions Temple was an old man with a youthful face, white hair, tall and robust.

On the other hand, Yu Lei, the Great Elder of Qiankun Sect, known for body cultivation and physical prowess, appeared rather short and thin, wearing a big yellow robe, giving a somewhat comical appearance.

At this moment, Yu Lei glanced around at everyone and smiled, ”It’s been 800 years since Fellow Daoist Zhan personally set up the High-level Primordial Spirit Shadowing Barrier at Supreme Dao, right?”

Lin Qiluo spoke as sweetly as a swallow, ”Friend Ye gathered us with this formation, there must be something important to discuss?”

Both Ge Baoyang and Ren Xiaoyao looked towards Ye Xiaose.

Ye Xiaose smiled, ”Indeed, it concerns the entire continent... or should I say, the entire Blue Sea Star.”

Everyone present immediately thought of something upon hearing this.

”Spirit Venerable Ye is talking about that issue in the north again?” Ren Xiaoyao asked.

Ye Xiaose nodded slightly, ”That’s right.”

Ren Xiaoyao, puzzled, asked, ”It’s only been two or three months since Friend Ye mentioned this again. Is there some new development?”

Previously, after Su Yuan and others from the East Continent left, Taishang Sect indeed informed all the Daoist Sects about this matter.

Moreover, Lou Zhen from Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect and others even came in person to explain the major crisis of the Grey Realm invasion after the downfall of the Northern Continent.

However, even though Taishang Sect, the leader of the Daoist Sects, remained passive and detached, True Yang and the other sects, lacking a Divine Artifact to stabilize their sects, naturally were reluctant to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Ye Xiaose used the High-level Primordial Spirit Shadowing Barrier to summon everyone.

Before Ye Xiaose could speak, Ge Baoyang glanced at an empty seat beside him and asked, ”Shouldn’t we wait for the people from Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect?”

Ye Xiaose replied, ”No need to wait, those fellows were not informed for this meeting.”

Upon hearing these words, Ge Baoyang, Ren Xiaoyao, and others all frowned slightly.

But Lin Qiluo chuckled lightly and said, ”The Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect seems to have formed an alliance with the East Continent, and on the matter of the Grey Realm, they have reached a consensus with the Demon Sect like Demon Sky Palace, so it’s best to avoid them for now.”

Ge Baoyang gave Lin Qiluo a glance, then looked at Ye Xiaose, nodded, and said, ”Alright.”

Yu Lei asked, ”So what are the changes in the northern demon calamity that you wanted to tell us, Friend Ye?”

Ye Xiaose said to everyone, ”You all know that previously, friends from the East Continent came over and discussed the issues of the Grey Realm with us at Taishang Sect.

However, this matter involves substantial risk and is quite far from the Southern Continent, so we at Taishang Sect decided to remain passive.

Yet, although it’s far, it’s a significant concern and likely one of the three tribulations, the Beast Tribulation.

So after the friends from the East Continent left, I personally went to Yixian Dao to request Fellow Daoist Zhan to keep a close eye on it.”

Saying this, Ye Xiaose looked at Zhan Tianyi.

Zhan Tianyi nodded slightly and said, ”Recently, combining observations and divination, I calculated the war between the East and North Continental demon beasts.

Integrating Spirit Venerable Ye’s intelligence, now both major powers of the East Continent have sent many King-level experts to assault the Northern Continent and engage with the Grey Realm.”

The expressions of everyone present changed slightly, ”All the kings have mobilized and launched an assault on the Northern Continent? So quickly!”

Every King-level expert is a critical combat force for any power.

Engaging in such a cross-continental war should involve cautious, detailed planning, even if there is action.

Who would have thought the East Continent would act so fast, escalating to a King-level battle with the Grey Realm!

Moreover, weren’t the two major countries in the East Continent just arch-enemies? How did they lay down their grudges so quickly?

Yu Lei smiled slightly, but there was a hint of gravity in his eyes, ”It’s simple; it shows that the crisis felt by the East Continent is greater than we imagined!”

Everyone else got even graver upon hearing this.

This world invasion was unprecedented.

The Southern Continent’s apprehension was understandable given the situation.

After a while, Ren Xiaoyao looked at Ye Xiaose and asked, ”So, is Spirit Venerable Ye gathering us this time to assist the East Continent against the Grey Realm Demon Beast in the Northern Continent?”

Ye Xiaose shook his head with a smile, ”Regarding the Grey Realm, it is not to aid the East Continent.”

Everyone looked over with curiosity, not knowing what cards Ye Xiaose had hidden.

Ye Xiaose explained slowly, ”With the East Continent and the North at war, we’ve received news that... the Grey Realm contains countless treasures, spirit trees, and spirit fruits are everywhere, with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures aplenty!”

”Hmm?” Everyone was taken aback, showing expressions of surprise.

Yu Lei immediately asked, ”Is this true? With so many good things, wouldn’t the Grey Realm Demon Beasts use them themselves?”

Ye Xiaose smiled, ”You’re unaware, the demons of the Grey Realm are quite different from ordinary demon beasts; they cannot directly assimilate Law Treasures.

Additionally, they are not knowledgeable in the Four Arts and cannot refine many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into Elixirs or Star Devices.

So, a lot of treasures are just gathered or carried as auxiliary items to enhance Law concentrations.”

”Is that so...” Several Spirit Venerables’ eyes sparkled.

Though the account sounded quite mystical, many present believed a fair bit, as Ye Xiaose wouldn’t deceive everyone with this.

Firstly, the prestige of the Taishang Sect as the leader of the Daoist Sects ensured that Ye Xiaose as a leading figure wouldn’t easily mislead others.

Secondly, the truth of this can be verified simply by venturing into the Grey Realm, or even directly sending an envoy to the East Continent to inquire.

Ge Baoyang pondered slightly and said, ”Spirit Venerable Ye mentioned there are many treasures in the Grey Realm, but can you be more specific about how many there are?”

”Certainly.” Ye Xiaose chuckled, stroking the sparse stubble on his chin, ”The official power within the Grey Realm is the Imperial Court, beneath which are numerous Royal Courts.

The treasures in a typical Royal Court are equivalent to those in several King-level Sects.

A High-level Royal Court’s accumulated treasures over countless years are likely not below those in our Ten Great Sects!

And in the Grey Realm... there are nearly a hundred Royal Courts!”

At these words, the pupils of many Spirit Venerables in the room shrank.

Could the treasures from a High-level Royal Court rival those from the Ten Great Sects?

And there are so many Royal Courts in the Grey Realm?

That’s an unfathomable amount of resources!
