Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1286 - 1283: Requesting an Immortal Talisman
"Yao Annan, Li Fu, are you the only two who have returned?"
The Great Dao Sect’s other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, Zhou Zu Yu, saw the two and his eyes brightened before he hurriedly asked.
On the Spirit Boat returning from Earth to the Southern Domain were only two people, a man and a woman, both disciples of the Great Dao Sect.
Upon hearing their ancestor inquire, Li Fu and Yao Annan swiftly lowered their heads, with Li Fu respectfully speaking, "Yes, Ancestor. We have returned to report the news."
Yan Wuji said, "Why did it take so long to return with news, what is the situation?"
The attention of others also fell on the two, with a deep-seated sense of foreboding brewing within them.
For the expressions of Li Fu and Yao Annan carried an odd vibe.
If they were victorious, their emotions would be a touch more elated, not as dismayed as they seemed now.
With so many powerful experts staring at them, Li Fu and Yao Annan felt under great pressure, yet Li Fu forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Sect Leader, Great Uncle, we... were defeated."
Although the group comprising Core Formation Masters and Nascent Soul Stage Powerhouses had mentally prepared for such an outcome, hearing these words from Li Fu’s mouth still left them all in disbelief and confusion.
Ye Wuya inwardly sighed in relief, yet still found himself deeply surprised.
He had heard that the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators sent to Earth exceeded a hundred, many in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, wielding formidable Magic Treasures and talismans too.
Under such a powerful formation, for Earth’s cultivators to hold their ground and defeat the Southern Domain’s army is incredible indeed.
Since returning to the Southern Domain, those Earth cultivators have seemingly undergone rapid growth, what happened?
Zhou Zu Yu swiftly reprimanded, "Defeated? How could you, with so many, be defeated?"
Li Fu and Yao Annan felt ashamed but still forced themselves to answer, "Indeed defeated. Those Earth cultivators were far too powerful, and besides, they commanded dozens of potent demon beasts, furthermore refining several fellow members of the Flame Moon Sect into Spiritual Puppets. Plus, White Jade City possesses a Defense Array, which also has offensive capabilities, with multiple factors preventing us from breaching their defenses, and even led to thirteen of our comrades being slain."
"What?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"How could the enemy have slain over ten of our men? How many were slain on Earth’s side?"
"The strongest among Earth cultivators only have Foundation Establishment Cultivation, how can they refine Spiritual Puppets? And, given their strength, taming mighty demon beasts, how is that possible?"
An uproar arose.
Despite the crowd being mostly Nascent Soul Stage Powerhouses and Core Formation Masters, hearing this news unsettled them, leaving them bewildered and unable to believe.
Li Fu and Yao Annan rushed to explain, affirming that deceiving the elders was unthinkable.
The experts nodded in silent agreement as they regained composure.
Let alone Li Fu and Yao Annan daring to lie about such matters, even if they were inclined, there’s no reason for deceit.
Thus, all this is indeed true.
"This truly is incredulous," Yan Wuji said with a complex expression, "This world of Earth is really becoming more intriguing."
Jiang Yao cast a glance at him, then looked towards Li Fu asking, "Why have only you two returned, what of the others?"
Li Fu quickly replied, "Everyone felt returning with failure would be too embarrassing, so after deliberate discussion, we went to Penglai Immortal Mountain, completely breaking through its Sealing Barrier, releasing all the demon beasts within, and discovered a Spiritual Spring in the mountain."
He spoke while taking out a storage bag, retrieving numerous jars filled with Spiritual Liquid.
Ye Wuya’s heart was suddenly heavy again, his countenance growing tense quickly.
Though he was unaware about Penglai Immortal Mountain during his time on Earth, he was informed about this matter upon Wu You, Zhuo Donglai, and Zhou Hao’s return.
He knew tens of thousands of Ancient Demon Beasts were sealed within the mountain; though most had restricted power, their fighting prowess was still substantial, overwhelming for Foundation Establishment Cultivators alone.
With so many demon beasts released, Earth faces an inevitable demon beast calamity, causing tremendous human casualties.
"Well done, at least you showed some wisdom. With those demon beasts out there, you can maneuver them to attack White Jade City."
Ling Shuanghua nodded approvingly, waving her hand, taking two bottles of Spiritual Spring, sniffing them.
The rest of the Nascent Soul Stage Powerhouses also took samples of the Spiritual Liquid for verification.
"It truly is Spiritual Liquid."
"Indeed, and its concentration is remarkably high; surprisingly such a small world like Earth possesses abundant cultivation resources, furthering our need to conquer it."
"Indeed, a top-grade Spirit Ore, combined with a Spiritual Spring, Genetic Liquid Medicine as Divine Medicine, and Ancient Demon Beasts sealed ages past, as long as this Earth World is under our control, the Southern Domain Cultivation World’s overall power will eventually soar, giving our six forces a chance to vie for a One-star Sect or First class Family status."
These words stirred excitement among everyone.
"We must utterly conquer Earth, with such abundant cultivation resources, and the Divine Medicine capable of enhancing Spirit Root Grade and creating Spirit Roots from nothing, no matter the cost, it must be taken."
"Indeed."
Everyone nodded firmly, their resolve unwavering.
Ling Shuanghua said, "Not only must it be conquered, but swiftly. Our actions have already caused a noticeable stir, delaying any further would prove troublesome if word spread beyond the Southern Domain."
Yan Wuji nodded and said, "Very true. Brother Jiang, my suggestion remains to consult with the old ancestors from each family, have them intervene personally."
Jiang Yao frowned and said, "Didn’t they mention just now, the demon beasts on Earth have been released entirely, with their onslaught Earth’s cultivators can’t hold. We still have about a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators there, conquering Earth shouldn’t be problematic."
Ling Shuanghua pondered briefly, nodding, "Sect Master Jiang makes a point, Mr. Yan, we should observe the developments for a few more days."
Yan Wuji said, "Alright, let’s wait a while longer."
They must indeed consider their reputation; if such a matter cannot be resolved without troubling Divinity Transformation Realm ancestors, then they as sect leaders are incompetent.
Zhou Zu Yu turned to Li Fu and Yao Annan asking, "Is your return only for reporting this?"
Li Fu promptly said, "Besides reporting the battle’s status, disciples have returned hoping to request an Immortal Talisman from the elders; after analyzing the battle from that day, among Earth cultivators stand more than a dozen particularly powerful masters, charging at the forefront. Should we possess an Immortal Talisman, capturing them all at once becomes possible. Subjugating those few powerful masters would mean Earth’s remaining cultivators are easily defeated."
