Chapter 2926: Frontline Battle Report

The Feilong Mountain stronghold contained many valuable items, including a complete seventh-tier turtle shell and two pieces of Ice Soul Divine Crystal. If refined into a mid-grade Spirit Treasure, the turtle shell's defense would undoubtedly be very strong.

The Sea Suppressing Palace's treasured artifact, the Mysterious Jade Spirit Suppressing Peak, was refined with a large amount of Ice Soul Divine Crystal, making it a powerful high-grade Spirit Treasure.

Given Wang Changsheng's current artifact refining skills, he couldn't refine a high-grade Spirit Treasure, nor did he have enough materials. However, incorporating Ice Soul Divine Crystals into an artifact could significantly increase its power.

Other valuable items included a sixth-tier ice-attribute spiritual flame, a seventh-tier Golden Thunder Turtle's inner core, a batch of Nine-Origin Stones, two pieces of Seven-Star Jade, a seventh-tier Wood Demon crystal core, three mid-grade sixth-tier Thunder-Absorbing Orbs, three sets of seventh-tier formations, five Heaven Illusion Grasses over 20,000 years old, one 50,000-year-old Golden Epiphyllum, one bottle of Jade Rhinoceros Pills, two bottles of Reversion Pills, and two bottles of Revival Pills.

They had previously eliminated a mid-stage Integration Realm Blazing Fire Tribe member and obtained a sixth-tier spiritual flame, which they gave to Wang Ruyan to refine. This ice-attribute sixth-tier spiritual flame would naturally be given to Wang Changsheng to refine.

It is very difficult for a sixth-tier spiritual flame to advance to the seventh-tier. It's not simply a matter of the Glazed Ice Flame devouring a few more sixth-tier spiritual flames to ascend to the seventh-tier.

To Wang Changsheng's knowledge, even among the Integration Realm cultivators of the Blazing Fire Tribe, very few possessed seventh-tier spiritual flames.

The Vermillion Bird Bottle, which counters fire-attribute dao techniques, was perfectly suited for collecting spiritual flames.

The Golden Thunder Turtle's inner core could be given to the Qilin Turtle, aiding its advancement. Nine-Origin Stones could be used to construct a Flying Spirit Platform, though activating it would consume Seven-Star Jade. The seventh-tier Wood Demon crystal core could be used for array formations and to repair the foundation of the Immovable Water Immortal Apricot.

Before this, Wang Changsheng had already acquired one seventh-tier Wood Demon crystal core. With another seventh-tier Wood Demon crystal core, the Immovable Water Immortal Apricot tree would have no problem resuming its growth.

The three mid-grade sixth-tier Thunder-Absorbing Orbs could be incorporated into formations, making it much easier for clan members to overcome lightning tribulations when advancing to major realms in the future. However, using formations to advance to major realms would require a significant amount of merit points, so clan members would need to undertake more tasks and accumulate these points.

The three sets of seventh-tier formations could be deployed at critical locations within the family territory to enhance defenses.

The ten-thousand-year Heaven Illusion Grass was the primary ingredient for refining the Heaven Illusion Pill, a seventh-tier elixir suitable for Integration Realm cultivators specializing in illusion techniques. The Golden Epiphyllum Pill, refined primarily from a 30,000-year-old Golden Epiphyllum, was suitable for Mahayana cultivators and had the effect of enhancing magical power.

Jade Rhinoceros Pills could assist Void Refinement cultivators in advancing to the Integration Realm. Reversion Pills allowed Integration Realm cultivators to rapidly recover their magical power. Revival Pills were used by Integration Realm cultivators for healing.

The Lizard Tribe truly lived up to its reputation as an ancient clan on the Xuanling Continent, possessing profound heritage. If a single stronghold contained so many resources, wouldn't the Sky Lizard Mountain Range hold even more?

The only drawback was that this stronghold did not contain a Sky Lizard Pendant.

The racial war had a long front line, and to facilitate supplies, all four tribes established strongholds at the front to stockpile resources. If a stronghold was breached, the stockpiled materials would fall into enemy hands.

The types and quantities of supplies stored in different strongholds varied; it was impossible for every stronghold to have a Sky Lizard Pendant, and Wang Changsheng was already content.

Leng Yue was killed by Bayin, so her possessions naturally belonged to Wang Changsheng. If Leng Yue and Wang Changsheng had been on good terms, Wang Changsheng might have returned her belongings to her disciples.

However, Leng Yue's sect, the Cold Flame Sect, was on bad terms with the Wang family. After arriving at the front lines, Leng Yue had frequently opposed Wang Changsheng. Thus, Wang Changsheng would certainly not return Leng Yue's possessions to the Cold Flame Sect.

"We've been out for so long, and we don't know how our clan members are doing. Let's go back! With the military merits we've earned, we won't need to go to the battlefield for a hundred years," Wang Changsheng said gravely; he had already passed his period of weakness and was fine.

Wang Ruyan nodded and left the underground cavern with Wang Changsheng.

In the Seven-Star Mountain Range, at the Sky River Palace.

Heavenly River Sword Sovereign sat on the main seat, while more than a dozen Integration Realm cultivators, including Lin Tianlong, Xu Xiang, Layman Feixue, and Guo Yulin, stood on either side, all beaming.

"The Lizard Tribe has completely retreated, abandoning a vast amount of territory," Heavenly River Sword Sovereign instructed. "I've already spoken with the Mahayana cultivators of the Blazing Fire Tribe and the Yaksha Tribe; whoever occupies the territory claims it. Immediately dispatch personnel from the rear, so the Blazing Fire Tribe and Yaksha Tribe don't gain an unfair advantage." Although it was stated that whoever occupied the land relinquished by the Lizard Tribe would claim it, friction was inevitable between the Human, Blazing Fire, and Yaksha Tribes.

Expanding territory was good, but these lands required experts to guard them. Eighteen strongholds were not enough, and there weren't enough personnel at the front lines, necessitating another conscription.

Unlike previous times, this conscription was primarily for seizing territory on a first-come, first-served basis.

If the Human Race didn't occupy the territory, they would be handing it over to the Blazing Fire and Yaksha Tribes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianlong and the others readily agreed. After years of conflict and many casualties among cultivators, they were finally seeing a return on their efforts.

"Always be on guard," Heavenly River Sword Sovereign gravely stated. "Be wary of the Blazing Fire Tribe and the Yaksha Tribe. There's no need to engage them in direct conflict. Our common enemy is the Lizard Tribe. It won't be too late to contend with them after we've eliminated the Lizard Tribe."

"Eliminate the Lizard Tribe!" Lin Tianlong and the others exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.

In their view, if it couldn't be confirmed that the Lizard Tribe's Mahayana cultivator was dead, occupying some territory would suffice.

"Whether the old ghost Yi is alive or not is irrelevant," Heavenly River Sword Sovereign explained, seeing their confusion. "If he dares to retaliate while our three tribes are allied, we will all act together against him."

If the Lizard Tribe's Mahayana cultivator was still alive, the three tribes would naturally share the risk. If the Lizard Tribe's Mahayana cultivator was dead, the three tribes would divide the Lizard Tribe's territory and resources among themselves.

Share the benefits, bear the risks together.

By this point, whether the Lizard Tribe's Mahayana cultivator was alive no longer mattered. Furthermore, all signs indicated that the Lizard Tribe's Mahayana cultivator had perished.

Currently, it was necessary to conscript more personnel to occupy the territory relinquished by the Lizard Tribe, to prevent the Blazing Fire and Yaksha Tribes from gaining an advantage.

"Yes, Senior Lin." Lin Tianlong and the others readily agreed, bowed, and withdrew.

As soon as Lin Tianlong returned to his residence, he saw Lu Wei and Song Yuchan talking at the entrance.

Lu Wei looked excited, while Song Yuchan appeared somewhat sad.

"Junior Sister Lu, weren't you at the main headquarters? Why have you come to the front lines? Did something happen in the rear?" Lin Tianlong asked with a frown.

"No, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Uncle Chen has advanced to the Mahayana stage! Our Sea Suppressing Palace now has a Mahayana cultivator!" Lu Wei excitedly transmitted her voice.

Lin Tianlong gasped, his expression turning solemn. He invited them into his cave dwelling and activated the protective formations.

Lu Wei briefly explained the events. Learning that Song Yiming had died during a great Heavenly Tribulation, Lin Tianlong frowned deeply and let out a soft sigh.

If Chen Yueying hadn't been attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage, and the formation with the seventh-tier Thunder-Absorbing Orb had been available, Song Yiming should have been able to survive the great Heavenly Tribulation.

"By the way, how are the battles on the front line? How much longer will they last?" Lu Wei asked.

Lin Tianlong truthfully explained that, given the current developments, the war would not last much longer.

The share of benefits the Sea Suppressing Palace would receive would differ depending on whether Chen Yueying was present at the front lines or not.

Even if Chen Yueying merely made an appearance at the front, it would exert greater pressure on the Lizard Tribe and undoubtedly yield significant benefits.

"Try to delay things, don't let the war end too quickly. I'll return to the main headquarters immediately to report to Senior Uncle Chen. Oh, and do you have any news of the Azure Lotus Immortals?" Lu Wei inquired.

Lu Wei was asking about Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

The Azure Lotus Immortals belonged to the Ascension Faction and were Chen Yueying's people. After returning, Chen Yueying might inquire about them, so Lu Wei needed to know their status.
