Watching the disciples of the Tianwu Alliance flood into the transmission array in batches, the leaders of the major sects all waved and nodded to these disciples, their eyes full of concern.
Perhaps due to the arrival of great darkness, people have temporarily forgotten their grudges, and the Tianwu Alliance has developed unprecedented cohesion.
Whether it was the older generation of powerhouses or the new generation of disciples, they all deeply understood that if they did not unite, the Great Dark Age would be the last era of the entire Tianwu Continent.
The Tianwu Alliance was originally established because the righteous path was a scattered mess, and they longed to unite into a powerful collective self-preservation.
Today, the Tianwu Alliance has returned to its former state. Deep down, the older generation of strong warriors may still have some selfish thoughts. Although Qu Jianying made countless contributions to the Tianwu Alliance in their era, not everyone respected her.
Although Qu Jianying is powerful and willing to shed her blood for the Tianwu Alliance, she always lacks a domineering presence. So, almost everyone in the older generation of Tianwu Alliance recognizes her, but only a few truly admire her.
In this era where martial prowess reigns supreme, to admire someone, one must possess overwhelming power; sometimes character is only used as a reference.
This is also why some people have poor virtue, yet still have a group of loyal followers. Because cultivators worship the strong; as long as you are strong enough, whatever you say is right.
So, in Qu Jianying's era, she did not achieve a high degree of complete unification, but now the Tianwu Alliance has achieved it.
Because Long Chen emerged from the Tianwu Alliance. Although Long Chen is not the future leader of the alliance, everyone knows that Long Chen disdains competing for the position of alliance leader.
Long Chen pursued freedom and unrestrained; fame and fortune were nothing but fleeting clouds in his eyes.
But Long Chen once said he would obey Ye Lingshan completely. Although it sounded a bit like a joke at the time, everyone knew Long Chen wanted to express that as long as he was around, Ye Lingshan's status would be unshakable.
Nominally, Ye Lingshan was the future leader of the Tianwu Alliance, but in reality, Long Chen was the spiritual pillar of the alliance's disciples. As for whether he held the position of alliance leader or not, they no longer cared.
People actually admired Long Chen's modest pursuit of fame and fortune and his obsession with martial arts even more. They understood that true strong people never bothered to fuss over a single identity.
So whenever Ye Lingshan gives orders, they obey without the slightest disobedience. They know that Ye Lingshan's orders are equivalent to Long Chen's commands.
A full 800,000 disciples of the Tianwu Alliance set out. The scene was vast and immense. The teleportation arrays of the Tianwu Alliance flickered continuously, and disciples waved goodbye in waves as they departed.
Seeing the disciples' fearless expressions, many elders from the sect felt a pang in their hearts. The Star Domain Divine Realm was known as an ancient relic full of dangers, and not only was it full of dangers, but even forces like the evil paths and the Ancient Family Alliance had entered, and even the Sea Demon Clan would participate.
Not to mention how dangerous the Star Domain Divine Realm itself is, just these forces alone are dangerous enough. Once they go, who knows how many will never return.
Their hearts were filled with reluctance, wishing they could take their place. Unfortunately, this era was not theirs, so they could only smile softly and wave to encourage their disciples.
People were teleported away in batches, and soon, only the Dragon Blood Legion and Ye Lingshan, Chang Hao, Bao Buping, and the other main figures remained.
"Let's go."
Long Chen cupped his fists slightly to the old man and the others, leading everyone into the teleportation array.
Seeing Long Chen and the others about to leave, Qu Jianying wanted to speak but was pulled by the old man:
"Forget it, no amount of reminders is useless. The children are already grown up; they know what to do. All we can do is trust them."
After all, Qu Jianying was a woman, born with a motherly instinct. She had no children in this life, yet she treated all her disciples as her own. Now that all these children were gone, her heart felt empty and indescribably sad.
"Rest assured, Alliance Leader. With Long Chen here, they won't suffer losses." Li Tianxuan also smiled and comforted her.
Qu Jianying nodded and said, "Yes, I believe the children are the strongest. Alright, the kids have worked hard, and we old folks can't slack off."
Long Chen left me some barrier-breaking pills. Anyone who has reached the third step of the Tongming Realm and wants to break through to the fourth step can come and claim them. "
Barrier-Breaking Pill?" Everyone was shocked.
"That's right, it's a Barrier-Breaking Pill, and it's a top-grade twelfth-grade pill. As long as the power of death hasn't spread, you can take it." Qu Jianying said.
Yan Nantian and the other four Grand Elders couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. They hadn't caught the right time, and the Barrier-Breaking Pill was useless to them.
Yan Nantian added, "But you need to think carefully. This Barrier-Breaking Pill will instantly activate your death power."
However, due to differences in personal aptitude, and having stayed at the third stage for too long, he could not achieve life-and-death balance or form reincarnation. Not only could he not enter the Reincarnation Realm, but he might even solidify the power of life and death, making him unable to use it for life, leaving him a cripple. "
Yan Nantian was warning everyone that taking this Barrier-Breaking Pill carries great risks, so think carefully before using it.
An old man stepped forward and said, "Alliance Leader, please grant me one. I'm already old and weak—if I don't fight now, I'll be buried in the earth."
If we're done with it, so be it. In this era, we old men are just barely promoting, half-useless, basically useless in assignments, so it's fine to just cripple them all.
If it succeeds, it might not help much on the battlefield in the future, but at least it can take a knife for the children. As
soon as the old man spoke, all the powerful figures present were deeply moved. This was a sect leader who had risked breaking through to the fourth step of Tongming, already mentally prepared.
Old men like them, who missed out on their era, went from the original Tongming Realm to the current third step of the Tongming Realm—all due to the changes in heaven and earth.
But the third step was already their limit. At this stage, they would no longer be blessed by the Heavenly Dao and would never be able to break through again.
Now that they had the supreme Barrier-Breaking Pill, they had a slim chance to advance to the fourth step of Tongming. But even if they succeeded, their combat power would still not compare to a true fourth-step Tongming Realm expert.
Because of the lack of talent and aptitude, pills couldn't make up for it. Taking such a big risk was not worth it.
But this sect leader made it very clear: if he took the risk of promotion and succeeded, he could become a human shield for the children at a critical moment on the battlefield, taking a hit.
If he didn't break through, he wouldn't even have a chance to withstand a single blow from the children. His fearless spirit inspired everyone.
"Alliance Leader, are the Barrier-Breaking Pills enough? Can you give me one too? "
I want one too."
For a moment, every strong figure who had reached the third step of the Tongming Realm stepped forward, their eyes filled with determination. Qu Jianying and the others were deeply moved—who says righteous cultivators are all selfish? When disaster strikes, the brilliance of humanity shines forth.
"There are plenty of pills, don't rush. Once you've made up your mind, come and collect them." Qu Jianying handed out each pill to everyone, and with each one, a trace of warmth filled his heart.
Although this oneThe era was not theirs, but they proved through their actions that the older generation also had their own faith and integrity, willing to sacrifice everything for the Tianwu Continent. This was a form of pride, and at this moment, life actually became less important.
"Old man, you have one too." Qu Jianying asked.
The old man shook his head: "I don't need it. I'll leave this one for someone else. I'm confident that with my own strength, I can break through the shackles and break through the cycle of reincarnation." The
old man's eyes were full of confidence. His cultivation had been stuck at the Mingxing Realm for so many years, yet now he was showing endless benefits. This time, he had benefited greatly from this heavenly and earthly upheaval, benefiting even more than others. He was determined to rely on his own strength to break through to the fourth step of Tongming.
Looking into the old man's confident eyes, a trace of tenderness appeared in Qu Jianying's eyes. This guy with a terrible temper might have been exactly what had captivated her back then.
"Let's go, each of us in seclusion."
The old man waved his hand, and the crowd slowly dispersed.
...
"Rumble rumble... Heaven
and earth roared and exploded. Hundreds of flying boats, filled with disciples of the Tianwu Alliance, sped through the void. The piercing sonic booms shattered the world's silence.
A massive flying boat sped at the front—the vessel carrying the Dragonblood Legion. All the Dragonblood warriors were full of spirit, spirited, and full of excitement.
"Why are you all so excited? Judging by your attitude, it looks like you're going into a group fight. Long Chen looked at the Dragon Blood warriors, each eager to get ready, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
A sergeant stood up and replied, "Boss Guo Ran said that this time we're heading to the Star Domain Divine Realm, we need to step up our efforts and try to capture Feng Fei to serve as your anchor... Guo Ran, boss, why are you pinching me? "
Guo Ran, if I don't loosen your bones today, you won't know your boss once did a massage session."
Long Chen was so angry his teeth itched. This bastard must be out of his mind. Mengqi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, Ye Zhiqiu, Dong Mingyu, and the others were all on the flying boat. Hearing the sergeant's words, they all looked at him with strange expressions. There's no way to trick people this much.
"Boss, don't buddie. Actually, I'm just here to boost morale... I was wrong, I won't dare again... Help me... Help... Soon
, a pig-like cry came from Long Chen's flying boat. Gu Yang and the others burst into laughter, while the disciples on the other flying boats watched in confusion, not knowing what was happening.
"Serves you right, a classic case of not fighting for three days, tearing off the roof of the house." Watching Guo Ran being dealt with by Long Chen, Tang Wan'er cheered from the side, ignoring Guo Ran's miserable screams.
"Long Chen, stop messing around, we're here."
Mengqi looked ahead and suddenly spoke.
