Chapter 3517: The Human Race's Scheme

On the Mystical Spirit Continent, on Green Lotus Island, stood a blue palace over ten zhang tall. On its square plaque, three large characters read, "Canghai Hall."

The main hall was spacious and brightly lit. Wang Shenming sat cross-legged on a green meditation mat, engrossed in a thick book on formation arrays. Not far away, a massive formation array, over a thousand zhang in size, contained tens of thousands of grooves of varying sizes. In the center of the array was a huge groove, holding a large piece of Void-Absorbing Stone.

Wang Shenming was a formation master, specially cultivated by the family. He was temporarily responsible for guarding the large communication array, awaiting contact from Bai Yuqi.

After a while, the formation array began to shake slightly, illuminating countless mysterious array patterns.

Wang Shenming put down the book, took out a blue square token, and with a gentle flick of his wrist, a blue light flew out and disappeared into the formation array.

Countless runes flew out from the array, swirling to form the likeness of Bai Yuqi, though it was merely an illusion, not a physical entity.

"Ancestor Yuqi!" Wang Shenming bowed respectfully.

"We have arrived in Canghai and set up the large communication array," the illusory Bai Yuqi said. "If there are important matters, you can contact us through this array."

"Yes, Ancestor Yuqi, I will contact the family head immediately." Wang Shenming took out his communication plate and notified Wang Yongqian.

It wasn't long before Wang Yongqian arrived.

Bai Yuqi briefly recounted their journey and the situation in Canghai.

Previously, the Human Race and the Fiery Spirit Race had unified Canghai. Now, the Wang family had unified it, allowing them to mobilize more resources.

After organizing the ancient texts in the archives of both the Fiery Spirit Race and the Human Race, they gained a deeper understanding of Canghai.

To the east, south, and west of Canghai were thunder domains. To the north, there were numerous spatial rifts, where space was unstable.

Therefore, to enter Canghai, one could only come through the thunder domains. The thunder domains varied in size; the eastern one was the largest, and the southern one was the smallest.

Wang Mengbin divided Canghai into eighteen regions, dispatching Wang family descendants to govern them and construct various arrays: warning arrays, communication arrays, illusion arrays, and so on. If any outsiders were found stranded in Canghai, it could be reported immediately.

After Huo Yanzhang annihilated most of the human cultivators and the Wang family destroyed the Fiery Spirit Race, vast territories in Canghai became vacant, allowing them to cultivate more immortal cultivators.

Wang family descendants formed dual cultivation partnerships with Canghai cultivators and recruited excellent cultivators from other clans. Wang Qingfeng guided artificers in refining puppet beasts and artifacts, Liu Hongxue instructed alchemists, and Bai Yuqi taught array formations, cultivating various skilled individuals.

They intended to transform Canghai into a talent cultivation base. The lower realms were also talent cultivation bases, but the highest cultivation level there was typically the Spirit Transformation stage. Canghai was different; cultivating Mahayana cultivators would not be an issue.

Wang Yongqian nodded and said with a smile, "It's good that you've arrived safely in Canghai. If there are important matters, we will notify you through the large communication array."

"Alright, then that's settled." With these words, Bai Yuqi's illusion dissipated.

"Shenming, you don't need to guard this place anymore. I'll assign someone else." Wang Yongqian instructed. She had asked Wang Shenming to guard the large communication array primarily because he could assist with repairs or adjustments. Now that the array could be used for communication, Wang Shenming's constant presence was no longer necessary; a Spirit Transformation cultivator could guard it.

Wang Shenming acknowledged, bowed, and withdrew.

Wang Yongqian took out a communication plate shimmering with blue light and cast a spell. Wang Yihong's voice rang out: "Family Head, representatives from the Profound Green Sect, Zhenhai Palace, and Myriad Spirit Sect have arrived, stating they have important matters to discuss."

"Please escort them to the reception hall; I'll be there shortly." Wang Yongqian instructed, then put away her communication plate and left Canghai Hall.

She arrived at the reception hall, where Fang Ming, Xu Bingbing, and a slender young man in green robes were chatting casually.

The young man in green robes was Shen Qing, a disciple of Immortal Jade Talisman, currently in the early Integration stage.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, Immortal Xu, Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time," Wang Yongqian greeted with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fang Ming brought up the main topic: "Immortal Wang, Uncle-Master Chen, Senior Talisman, and Senior Gongsun have discussed it. They plan to eradicate the Yaksha Race and unify the Mystical Spirit Continent. What are your Wang family's thoughts on this?"

The Human Race in the Mystical Spirit Continent now had nearly ten Mahayana cultivators. Eliminating the Yaksha Race, let alone the Golden Scale Race and the Silver Shark Race, would not be an issue.

"Unify the Mystical Spirit Continent!" Wang Yongqian was slightly stunned.

She had actually mentioned this to Wang Changsheng before, but he had refused.

Wang Changsheng preferred to remain low-key and not draw attention. He thought it wouldn't be too late to eliminate the Yaksha Race once his Spirit Domain reached minor completion. However, plans couldn't keep up with changes; Gongsun Yang and Immortal Jade Talisman had successively advanced to the Mahayana stage, greatly enhancing the Human Race's strength.

The Human Race now possessed the full strength to unify the Mystical Spirit Continent. This was also in the interest of multiple factions; the Myriad Spirit Sect and Zhenhai Palace also needed to expand their territories.

The Wang family held considerable power, and their assistance would make the endeavor relatively easier.

"That's right, with our current strength, the Human Race can certainly accomplish this," Fang Ming explained. "Of course, this isn't like past racial wars where we had to conquer stronghold by stronghold. We'll directly assault the Heaven-Shattering Mountain Range, eliminate the Yaksha Mahayana cultivators, and high-level cultivators will be responsible for dismantling important Yaksha strongholds."

Previously, there were only two Human Mahayana cultivators in the Mystical Spirit Continent, while the Fiery Spirit Race and Yaksha Race combined had three Mahayana cultivators. Coupled with the threat from the Golden Scale Race, it was impossible to eliminate the foreign Mahayana cultivators directly. They could only clear out strongholds one by one and retreat after seizing some territory.

Now, it's different. With nearly ten Human Mahayana cultivators, we need a different strategy: directly eliminate the Yaksha Mahayana cultivators. The remaining Yaksha cultivators won't be able to cause any major trouble. If we were to clear out strongholds one by one, there's a risk that the Yaksha Mahayana cultivators might simply flee, leading to endless future troubles.

"Directly assault the Heaven-Shattering Mountain Range? When do you plan to act? What if the Yaksha Mahayana cultivators escape?" Wang Yongqian asked, puzzled.

With so many Mahayana cultivators emerging from the Human Race, and Xuanqingzi also in the Mystical Spirit Continent, if Luo Xiao isn't foolish, he should have already left the Mystical Spirit Continent.

"That doesn't matter," Xu Bingbing stated gravely. "In any case, we must eradicate the Yaksha Race and expand our territory. How can we allow others to snore beside our bed?"

Wang Yongqian's willow-like brows furrowed. This was too significant a matter for her to decide. Only a Mahayana cultivator's involvement could secure greater benefits.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment," Wang Yongqian said, excusing herself as she left the reception hall to notify Ancestor Qingshan.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were the clan's ancestors. Since Wang Qingshan had already advanced to the Mahayana stage, notifying him would suffice. If Wang Qingshan couldn't resolve the matter, then Wang Changsheng or Wang Ruyan would be informed.

She arrived at Green Bamboo Peak and sent a sound transmission talisman.

A moment later, Wang Qingshan flew out from Green Bamboo Peak, his expression grave.

He was still comprehending the Spirit Domain and had not yet mastered it. Wang Changsheng had already helped upgrade his nine Azure Glaze Swords to top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures.

Wang Yongqian briefly explained the situation. Wang Qingshan pondered for a moment, then said, "Understood. I'll make a trip to Zhenhai Palace to speak with Fellow Daoist Chen. You can discuss the troop deployment matters with them. We'll handle the Mahayana cultivators, and you'll deal with the foreign cultivators."

Wang Yongqian agreed. Wang Qingshan then left Green Lotus Island and headed for Jade Dawn Mountain Range.
