Elder Zhang paused and continued, "The rest of the cultivators who are not on the list must pay corresponding merits or spirit stones according to their cultivation level to finance the battle!"
Xu Chunniang nodded, "When will the battle begin?"
Elder Zhang shook his head slightly. "There is no definite news at the moment. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take no more than ten days."
Ten days may seem like a long time, but in reality, for a war of this magnitude, a lot of preparation needs to be done and the time is very tight.
From this, it can be seen that the nine great families are determined to compete with the sea clan this time.
Xu Chunniang watched Mr. Zhang leave, then turned and walked towards the exchange office.
This time, she did not exchange it for top-grade spirit stones, but instead exchanged tens of thousands of merit points on her body for various healing and recovery medicines.
The Jiaohuang Palace is the territory of the sea clan, far away from the human islands. It is better to prepare more pills to be prepared.
After learning that all the monks on the merit list must go on the expedition, otherwise they would have 100,000 merits deducted, most of the monks expressed their support for this move.
"The sea tribe destroyed an entire continent of our human race. This is simply too much. Instead of waiting for them to drive the sea monsters to devour our human forces, why not unite and fight to the death!"
"If we lose this battle, the human race will face an unprecedented crisis. Rather than defending in vain, we'd rather fight!"
In such an environment, the few opponents could not make any waves and had to pay a fine of 100,000 merits.
As for the other monks who are not on the list, anyone who takes part in the battle will receive corresponding rewards.
Those who do not wish to go into battle must pay a large sum of spirit stones in order to be exempted from the battle.
Among the ten continents, Yanzhou is the closest to the Jiaohuang Palace. In the next few days, a large number of cultivators will rush to Yanzhou from the other eight continents to join up.
Some of these cultivators came from aristocratic families, while others were independent cultivators without any sect or school.
Many people only have the foundation-building level of cultivation, but they show no fear towards the coming war.
In just seven days, under the leadership of the nine great families, the monks of Jiuzhou completed their pre-war assembly.
At the hour of Mao on the eighth day, hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators, led by the nine great families, led tens of thousands of Golden Core cultivators and hundreds of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and boarded warships and headed towards the Jiao Emperor Palace.
Dozens of warships were filled with a solemn and tense pre-war atmosphere.
Many sea monsters felt this power and retreated far away.
The warship sailed smoothly all the way towards the deep sea.
Xu Chunniang is currently on the Suzaku warship.
She opened the window and looked out at the sea ahead.
Yanzhou is not far from the Jiaohuang Palace. With the speed of the warship, it will take less than five or six days to reach the territory of the Jiaohuang Palace.
The human race is so powerful, I believe the sea race must have received the news long ago. I wonder how they will respond.
After a little thought, Xu Chunniang activated her spiritual energy and began to calculate using the Dayan technique.
In the Dayan technique, three changes make up one line, and eighteen changes complete the hexagram.
However, just as she worked out the second change and before she could work out the first line, she was suddenly attacked back and vomited blood, and the Dayan technique was forced to be interrupted.
Xu Chunniang calmly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. This was her third attempt in these days to use the Dayan technique to infer the outcome of this battle.
But all three attempts failed without exception.
The cause and effect of this battle are too complicated to be deduced with her current level of cultivation.
Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi sensed the disorder in her spiritual energy and looked at her worriedly.
"It's okay, just take a breath for a while."
Because the Dayan technique failed shortly after it was started, the backlash that Xu Chunniang suffered was not strong.
As soon as she finished regulating her breathing, her Sea Walk Order began to tremble slightly.
She probed her spiritual sense into it to check the message, and after a moment of thought, she instructed Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi.
"You wait here, I'll be back soon."
There were a large number of cultivators who went to attack the Jiaohuang Palace. In order to facilitate management, the nine major families divided tens of thousands of Jindan cultivators and hundreds of thousands of foundation-building cultivators into hundreds of teams.
In each team, there are hundreds of Jindan cultivators and five thousand foundation-building cultivators.
These cultivators will be led by Yuanying Zhenjun.
The news Xu Chunniang received was the assembly order issued by the team leader, Yuanying Zhenjun.
She walked out of the room and headed towards the fifth floor of the Suzaku warship. Following the instructions, she found the room numbered Renyin.
Many monks had already arrived in the room. When they saw someone coming in, they all looked towards the door.
When they saw the person coming, their eyes lit up.
"It's actually the Fairy Miaofa. I didn't expect that I'm on the same team with the fairy!"
"I have heard of the name of Fairy Miaofa for a long time. Now that I have seen her today, I can see that she is indeed extraordinary and has the appearance of a Nascent Soul."
"In the next battle, I will have to rely a lot on the fairy."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly as a greeting.
The cultivators in front of him were all from Fenglei Island. Many of them looked quite familiar, and they must have been seen on the battlefield before.
She found a place to sit down and began to close her eyes and rest.
Upon seeing this, the other cultivators were very tactful and did not say much. Instead, they whispered about the Yuanying Zhenjun who was leading the team.
“The leader of the team is the Yuanying Zhenjun of the Zhou family, who has reached the middle stage of the Yuanying cultivation.
But I heard that she was seriously injured in a battle a hundred years ago and has not recovered yet. I am afraid that the strength she can exert is extremely limited."
"Although the Zhou family ancestor has an old illness, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. He should be stronger than a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage."
“I don’t think so. The strength of the Yuanying leader is crucial and is closely related to our lives.
The strength of this Yuanying Zhenjun of the Zhou family is probably only below average among all the Yuanying cultivators."
While everyone was discussing, a cold snort was heard, and a purple-robed female cultivator who looked no more than forty years old walked in.
She was dressed simply and looked ordinary, but she had a unique temperament that could not be ignored.
This purple-robed female cultivator was none other than Zhou Ruoying, the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Zhou family that everyone was talking about.
"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with my strength?"
Zhou Ruoying swept his eyes indifferently over the group of cultivators, his expression showing no emotion.
The monk who was caught by her gaze suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and subconsciously straightened his body and lowered his head.
Especially the few people who had just questioned her ability, they were so nervous that they were sweating profusely and their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
Even the weakest Nascent Soul cultivator is not someone they can afford to provoke.
"I dare not. How dare I doubt your strength? What I just said was just hearsay."
"I know I was wrong, please don't hold it against me."
Zhou Ruoying sneered, "If I had argued with you, do you think you could still sit here peacefully? But if I let you go, wouldn't others think that Yuanying Zhenjun is someone you can talk about at will?"
Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, their hearts began to tighten again when they heard the second half of the sentence.
"Please forgive me, my Lord. I really know I was wrong."
"Please forgive me, Master. I won't do it again next time."
