Chapter 405: Retreat to the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh

"Que Yu, it seems there has been a change…"

Lord of Luo sat in the royal palace.

Before him stood a figure shrouded in White Mist, with only a pair of blue-feathered wings extending from its back, reporting the battle conditions.

This was Que Yu, a cultivator who existed before the founding of the Luo Dynasty, and not even Transforming Dark Eternal Silence could harm him in the slightest.

"Lord of Luo, the New Dao used new weapons to shatter space, resulting in the deaths of eight spirit generals."

After listening to the report, Lord of Luo stood up and stretched: "Shattering space, huh? It seems we need to launch a stronger offensive. If this continues, with their special rules of the Dao Artifact, they will definitely gain greater power. At that time, even I will find it troublesome."

"Lord of Luo, what should we do?" Que Yu, although encountering a crisis, did not exhibit much additional emotion.

He understood the foundation of the Luo Dynasty and recognized the terrifying strength of Lord of Luo, believing they would not be defeated.

"Notify the Holy Lord to join forces with us to cut off all paths for the New Dao. It’s a bit troublesome, but a continuous offensive is necessary. We must exhaust the New Dao’s war potential in the shortest possible time," Lord of Luo said lightly.

"Are we finally going to join forces? This is indeed the method with the least cost, but is it enough? That kind of power seems to require at least thirty years to be worn down," Que Yu said, not surprised by this outcome, but feeling it still wasn’t sufficient.

"In this joint effort, we can only abandon the spirit veins of Huangzhou. Otherwise, the New Dao’s development will not stop," Lord of Luo chuckled.

"What?" Que Yu suddenly looked up, showing a look of shock.

Super spirit veins are the basis for dividing a province!

If they lose the super spirit veins, Huangzhou will merge with Shuizhou and Lozhou, which is their own foundation in the Luo Dynasty, to be abandoned?

"We must start destroying the foundation of the Spirit Marsh’s spirit veins from the outside. The New Dao relies on resources far less than we do; we cannot avoid this."

Another True Being stepped forward, surrounded by sharp sword energy, making it nearly impossible to see his true form. A hint of golden armor covered his whole body, with only a pair of indifferent eyes visible.

This was Jin Cang, a True Being of the Holy Lineage. Because Yun Ye had slain his disciple, he had confronted Yun Ye from afar and was an unknown entity in terms of power limit.

"This is a super spirit vein; destroying it will reduce our share by a third!" Que Yu exclaimed.

"If we don’t destroy it, what future do we have? The Extreme Spiritual Law that Lord of Luo has deciphered should be quite clear by now. Even with our foundation, we can break free from these three provinces within a thousand years; how much more so for the system the New Dao implements? As long as we eliminate them and monopolize the Extreme Spiritual Law, why worry about the loss of one province?" Jin Cang stated.

"Such a pity," Que Yu shook his head. "The spirit veins that have endured for ten thousand years will be buried by us; who knows when they will revive."

He did not say anything more, flicking his fingers as a feather shot away, vanishing in Lozhou and racing tens of thousands of miles toward Shuizhou.

It was very easy to have the Holy Lord take action.

Using war as a threat would suffice.

Although the New Dao was the New Dao, it had an essential conflict with the old ways; even if the New Dao wanted to cooperate with the Pure World Holy Land against them, the Pure World Holy Land would not agree.

Even if the Pure World Holy Land were to lose against the Holy Lineage, they could rely on the super formations to defend Shuizhou. But if it were the New Dao, with their special Dao Artifact and terrifying development speed, the Pure World Holy Land would have difficulty holding their ground, likely facing complete destruction just like the two sects.

The difference in costs between these two choices was too great to consider.

They could only accept the alliance.

…

Just as planned, the Pure World Holy Land finally stopped being passive and dispatched a large force to support the Holy Son of Pure Water, surrounding Tomorrow Nation.

Due to the minimal difference in the forces dispatched, the pressure on Tomorrow Nation increased several times, as they had too many directions to defend; it wasn’t just a simple doubling.

This time, Tomorrow Nation completely abandoned most of Huangzhou’s territory and retreated to the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh.

In this area, Yuexin could use the Force of Freedom to protect everyone.

If they moved beyond this range, the speed of support would not be enough.

As they retreated to the Spirit Marsh, a persistent dark cloud gradually shrouded the entire Tomorrow Nation.

Yang Yu: "The spirit veins are being destroyed. If this continues, the total spirit energy in the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh will decrease more and more. By that time, even if we complete the super formations, the power of Night Dawn might not increase significantly."

Yong Fa: "Who is responsible for the super formations?"

Wang Yao: "It’s me…"

Yang Yu: "Ah?"

Tang Si: "Ah?"

Yong Fa: "So, it’s Brother Wang. Can you explain the details?"

Tian Jialun: "Wang and I have managed the spirit veins for a long time. If the situation continues like this, the spirit energy will drop to the warning line in about thirty years, making it difficult to support millions of cultivators. At the formation level, we will completely lose the ability to resist the Luo Dynasty."

Wang Yao: "That’s about right, but I want to add that with the spirit veins being destroyed, our territory will become increasingly narrow. The resources from the demons will likely be exhausted as well. Before long, we will really be out of ammunition and supplies."

Everyone: !!!

The situation was indeed too tough; they needed to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Yun Ye was also in the True Heaven Instrument’s chat room, which was established for the higher level to communicate seamlessly. In addition to group chats, one-on-one conversations were also possible, allowing for long-distance dialogue without needing to use Spirit Law.

However, this time, Yun Ye went silent, contemplating a bold plan.

Ordinary methods to break the deadlock seemed too difficult; perhaps it was time to use that item…

The Dusk Setting Sun Chaotic Dawn, which had once been ended by the two sects!

Tomorrow Society was significantly lacking in time.

The Dusk Setting Sun Chaotic Dawn was capable of creating space-time rifts, and the remnants and demon cores left behind still contained these powers.

Unlike Time Spirit Law, this was similar to Innate Spiritual Law, possessing effects that ordinary Spirit Laws could not achieve.

Creating Time Spirit Law armaments from the remnants of the Dusk Setting Sun would be akin to using Nether Fire to create unique Nether Fire, able to transform decay into the miraculous.

Yun Ye proposed this idea in the chat room, and after a moment of silence, several researchers responded:

"It seems we can’t keep hiding this any longer. Currently, our technology might not fully unleash the effectiveness of the remnants, but we should manage at least twenty percent."

Twenty percent.

This was a striking figure.

In recent years, Tomorrow Society had been developing Spiritual Law and achieving excellent results, even completing Transforming Dark Eternal Silence.

However, Spirit Law and Physical Law were entirely different; these two paths required significant resources, making it difficult even for Tomorrow’s cultivators to bear.

Not to mention, Time Spirit Law is among the most challenging categories in the Spirit Law system, with few researchers in Tomorrow and naturally limited results.

Counting over the years, there was only the Time Tower as a practical technology, which was used to accelerate the growth of Spiritual Herbs.

As for Transforming Spiritual Law: Speed of Flow, it was a fire element variant and not purely a Spirit Law; furthermore, its focus differed from the Dusk Setting Sun’s attributes.

Now, for Tomorrow Nation to improve the utilization rate to twenty percent was already thanks to the accumulation of Extreme Spiritual Law.
