“The Sea Clan has launched a large-scale offensive and is now attacking the border territories of the Eastern Domain and the edge of the Endless Sea,” Jiang Fan said with a grave expression, delivering the news.
At these words, Lu Yi raised an eyebrow. On the continent of Tianming, the Humans and demons dominated, but the Endless Sea was the domain of the Sea Clan.
Since the Ancient Era, the three clans had waged relentless wars, tearing heaven and earth apart.
After countless battles, the relationship between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had considerably softened compared to the past, and they had come to live in peace.
The same was true with the Sea Clan, who now resided in the Endless Sea, rarely setting foot on land, with their presence mostly limited to the islands within the sea.
Lu Yi had not anticipated that the Sea Clan would suddenly launch a large-scale attack on the Eastern Domain.
He was very surprised and asked, “Why would this happen?”
Jiang Fan and the other two looked at each other and all shook their heads.
“We’re also unclear on the exact reason, we just know that the Sea Clan started with a sneak attack on a powerful sect in the Endless Sea, wiping them out entirely. Afterwards, they continued to attack other sects, and they’ve even mobilized Great Mahayana cultivators, sinking many islands,” said Jiang Fan.
Lu Yi was astounded, “The Sea Clan is taking the initiative to attack? Are they trying to provoke a war?”“It’s unclear. Right now, battles are raging everywhere in the Endless Sea; almost every place there has become a battlefield. The sects are fighting with all their might, now united in battling the Sea Clan,” Tie Man said, scratching his head.
“Fortunately, we were planning to return anyway. The Sea Clan’s Great Powers have gone mad. It’s said that a Great Mahayana of the Sea Clan, regardless of the consequences, destroyed a coastal ancient city with a single palm strike, turning millions of residents within to dust,” Bai Yulong said, shivering at the thought.
Lu Yi’s face looked strange. It was outrageous; generally speaking, even in great battles, cultivators seldom deliberately destroyed cities as both sides had their own grand cities and Great Powers.
If you strike today and I retaliate tomorrow, then what’s the point if all our people below are dead?
That a Great Power of the Sea Clan would act so recklessly, they truly must have lost their minds.
Lu Yi had been planning on heading to the Endless Sea bordering the Eastern Domain in a while to search for Mist Island, but now he silently postponed the plan.
With Great Mahayana cultivators acting without considering the consequences, Lu Yi did not want to rush over and court death.
“Fortunately, we were already intending to return. Now that there’s unrest over there, we’ve come back,” Jiang Fan also felt a chill in his heart.
After all, any Cultivator would feel uneasy upon hearing that Great Mahayana Great Powers were slaughtering ordinary people and weak Cultivators without regard to the consequences.
Lu Yi said with a smile, “Now that the three senior brothers are back, it’s a good time to enter seclusion for a while.”
“That’s also what we’ve been thinking,” Jiang Fan replied with a smile.
Then, he took out two fruits swirling with sword intent and transparent throughout, handing them to Lu Yi with a smile, “These are Sword Origin Fruits we obtained from Mist Island, which might be useful to you, junior brother, so we brought them back for you.”
Lu Yi was taken aback, somewhat surprised that the three had brought back Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for him.
Sword Origin Fruits, much like other Taoist Spiritual Fruits, were immensely precious, coveted even by Divinity Transformation cultivators. That the three had given him two was a thoughtful gesture indeed.
Bai Yulong said with a laugh, “Junior brother, you’ve given us so much that without those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures you provided, we might have died already. All we can give you in return are these. You must accept them, junior brother!”
After giving it some thought, Lu Yi accepted them. While they were not particularly useful, they could still somewhat enhance his understanding of the Sword Tao Domain. Some was better than none.
Moreover, this was a gesture of their goodwill, and it would not be right for Lu Yi to refuse.
Lu Yi smiled, “During this time, I’ve also chanced upon some Cultivation Resources.”
Lu Yi presented some Spirit Milk for the three to cultivate with.
They initially declined the offer, but upon hearing that Lu Yi was now using Spirit Marrow, they were all struck with despair.
The resources they had risked their lives for paled in comparison to Lu Yi’s fortuitous encounters, who could they even complain to about that?
Thus, they stopped refusing and accepted the gift.
“Now that you’re back, let’s spar and let me test the current strength of the three senior brothers,” Lu Yi said with a smile.
Even the Sword Origin Fruits were not as precious to Lu Yi as the Practice Task of sparring with the three brothers.
Now that the three had mastered their own Conceptions, Lu Yi issued the Practice Task, with Conception itself as the reward.
Senior brother Jiang Fan had the Water Intent Realm, senior brother Bai Yulong the Wind Intent Realm, and senior brother Tie Man the Earth Intent Realm.
Every sparring session would enhance Conception, quite delightfully.
The three were naturally willing to spar with Lu Yi, as given his Cultivation Base and strength, sparring with him was beneficial for them too.
So, Lu Yi spent an afternoon ‘tormenting’ the three, increasing his understanding of the Water Intent Realm somewhat, successfully comprehending both the Wind Intent Realm and the Earth Intent Realm, and obtaining some Centennial Spirit Marrow. Only then did he joyfully let the three utterly exhausted senior brothers go.
Just a few days had passed when the news of the Sea Clan stirring up a great battle at the Eastern Domain border spread.
The inland cultivators of the Eastern Domain were astoundingly surprised, as the Sea Clan had usually been low-profile, and now they were actively initiating a fierce war, one fought with deadly intent, which was beyond everyone’s expectation.
Many Cultivators were now watching the Eastern Domain Coast, wondering why the Sea Clan had suddenly waged such a war.
Of course, while the battle with the Sea Clan was fiercely ongoing, the main fighting area was still concentrated at the coastal regions, and Qingzhou was far away from the East Sea coast, so Lu Yi was briefly surprised, then continued with his Cultivation.
