Chapter 867: Entering the Combat Zone
ly. She then took out a tiger talisman from her storage bag and placed it in a groove beneath the stone slab. With a hum, something seemed to activate. Lu Xia Tian's face changed. His previous feeling...Two days later, Tianjian Mountain was as bustling as ever. Blood light erupted everywhere, surging towards the stars. Heaven unleashed its killing intent, the constellations shifted, and the earth rumbled with a murderous aura. Dragons and snakes stirred from their slumber, humans revealed their bloodlust, and heaven and earth churned in chaos.
The current upheaval, a culmination of countless battles that have shaken the great world of cultivators, is undoubtedly a tribulation brought upon humanity itself.

The Zhan Yue League, formed by the three major cultivation worlds, has been relentlessly advancing, capturing nearly a hundred immortal cities such as Xuan Ye City and Wang Yue City. Their military force has swept to the doorstep of every sect and faction. The previous attack on Lingxiao Palace by Amusang and a group of Jindan cultivators is a testament to this. But this was only a small portion of their forces. Currently, the Tianjian Mountain region has become the last stronghold for the Wang Yue cultivation world.
Once Tianjian Mountain Range is lost, the entire Wangyue Cultivation Realm will have no defenses left. Having lost the advantageous terrain cultivated over many years, with the current manpower of the Wangyue Cultivation Realm, they are completely unable to withstand the direct confrontation with the Zhan Yue Alliance. They will inevitably be crushed and most will be destroyed, while a small portion will scatter to some areas with thin spiritual energy, barely clinging to survival. They might even fall back into being scattered cultivators again.

At this time, the cultivators from various sects in the Immortal Cultivation World were engaged in a fierce battle with these extraterrestrial cultivators, just as they had always done.
The various factions of the Zhan Yue League were also mobilizing large numbers of troops to organize wave after wave of attacks. However, no one noticed that a flying warship adorned with the banner of the Xingyue Demon Sect was rapidly approaching the middle ground between the Xingyue Demon Sect camp and the Jie Sheng Jiao camp from afar in the sky.
On the rugged mountain path beneath their feet, a large number of Qi cultivators were transporting massive spirit trees to create various spiritual weapons and artifacts. The spirit stones for these artifacts were also being mined and transported. While Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators served as high-level combat forces, their daily consumption of spiritual materials was astronomical. Although Qi cultivators lacked combat prowess, they were essential for countless mundane tasks.
Even after so many years of fighting, the losses among low-ranking cultivators have been extremely severe. Both sides even forcibly requisitioned some secular armies from between secular nations to carry out the most rudimentary tasks.
At the foot of the mountain, there were hundreds of thousands of black-clad soldiers, both men and horses, like wild beasts. They dragged heavy siege weapons such as mountain-shattering crossbows, which could threaten the lives of cultivators, to their strongholds.
Lu Xia Tian stood with his hands clasped at the bow of the ship, gazing down at the bustling scene below. His brows furrowed in thought before relaxing again. Perhaps human existence was nothing more than a history of war, whether it be cultivators or ordinary people.
He was just a tiny speck struggling in this world. Throwing those heart-wrenching thoughts out of his mind, Lu Xia tian's eyes returned to normal.
Some Foundation Establishment cultivators who flew past the ship glanced at it, with its Starmoon Demon Sect battle flag flying high, but they didn't have any suspicions.
"Master, over there is Heavenly Pool Valley," Hu Xiangsheng pointed forward, his voice slightly trembling. Although the golden elixir was now in hand, he still had to live to have a chance to find a good place to cultivate. Therefore, Hu Xiangsheng racked his brains and persuaded some people from the captives to help Lu Xia Tian plan this surprise attack, making it as perfect as possible.
“I’ve seen it,” Lu Xia Tian's lips curled up, looking down from above. There were indeed two flying warships parked in the Tianchi Valley as expected, and there was also a rather damaged and worn-out Feiyan warship. It was really unexpected.
As he sailed towards them aboard his warship, with the surrounding cultivators acting as if nothing was amiss, it seemed his infiltration had been successful this time. Flying warships were too costly to deploy directly into battle, and this war wasn't a short one.
Warships of all schools and factions only ever leave the harbor in emergencies.
Most of the time, we stay at the rear camp, reducing the number of battles and trying to save spirit stones. After all, with so many cultivators in the major cultivation worlds, the daily consumption of spirit stones is terrifying. It's simply impossible to fully meet the enormous appetite of the flying battle ship.
Just like the Feiyan warships in Lingxiao Palace before, if it weren't for Lu Xiaoteng's accumulation of spirit stones within the barrier, they could only barely maintain the normal operation of the Feiyan warship. They wouldn't even be able to fire many shots from the spirit cannons before running out of spirit stones.
And the captured celestial warship was in slightly better condition. From Hu Xiangsheng, he learned that it was mainly transporting a ship full of valuable spirit herbs, but it wasn't much better than Lingxiao Palace.
Inside the valley, there were two flying warships. One of them belonged to the Xingyue Demon Sect. Lu Xia Tian casually glanced at the two flying warships and found that although there were cultivators on board, the number was not large, and their cultivation levels were not high. Only one cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core sat in command.
"Lord, do you think that such a heavy weapon as this Flying Heaven Battleship should have more guards" At this time, a middle-aged woman named Qiu Ruyi mustered her courage and spoke.
"Well, what are your thoughts" Lu Xia tian glanced at Qiu Ruyi. This woman had also followed closely behind to submit herself.
“If this junior manages to help the Palace Master capture another flying warship, I wonder if the Palace Master would be willing to bestow a Jin Condensing Pill” Qiu Ruyi took a breath.
"Okay, what can we do" Lu Xiaotian said. The other party had already discovered the flying warship above their heads. Even though they weren't prepared, if Lu Xiaotian wanted to get closer, there would be many variables.
Facing him were two flying warships, and one more injured but still operational Sparrowhawk warship. While he had a backup plan, he wasn't prepared to take that kind of risk. Even though he was currently the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace, would it really make him go all out
“On top of that flying battle ship, there is my elder brother. I'm flying over now, the Palace Master is following behind. As long as we get on the warship, with the Palace Master's strength, it would be easy to deal with those cultivators above.” Qiu Ru Yi said, “However, please ask the Palace Master to show mercy to my elder brother.”

"Well, at that time I'll leave him a life. That's how it will be done." Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment and transmitted his voice to Yuan Min, "Yuan Dao friend, I'll go and seize another flying battle ship. You first destroy the one from the Jie Sheng Jiao. If the situation isn't right, immediately fire on the other one in the valley belonging to the Xing Yue Demon Sect. When I get it done, send me a message, and then arrange for a group of people to come over and take control of the newly seized ship."
“Alright, Daoist Lu, be careful yourself.” Yuan Min responded crisply. Before, she thought only that Lu Xiaoteng was a meticulous person, but from today’s actions, this man is not only meticulous, he's simply bold and daring. If any other Golden Core cultivator were in his place, they probably wouldn't have the courage to do this. To seize two enemy flying warships in succession, what a feat! Perhaps only someone like Lu Xiaoteng could accomplish such a thing.
“Let’s go.” Lu Xia Tian urged Qiu Ruyi, and the two of them went towards the Star Moon Demon Sect flying warship in Tianchi Valley, one after the other.

Qiuy如意's heart pounded in her chest. Her talent within the Xingyue Demon Sect only ranked in the middle, so it was impossible for her to obtain the Jindan under normal circumstances. Seeing Hu Xiangsheng receive a heavy reward, Qiuy如意 also began to have ideas. At this moment, Qiuy如意 had never felt the Jindan as close as she did now.
