After the first war between Soul Realm and Phoenix Villa, there was a truce for a long period of time.
However, during this period of time, although there was no large-scale battle between Phoenix Villa and the Soul Realm, minor frictions continued.
A few days ago, a small force under Phoenix Villa rebelled, killed the supervisor sent by Phoenix Villa, and defected to the Soul Realm.
The Soul Realm immediately sent people to occupy this small force, blocked the revenge of Phoenix Villa for the small force, and killed many people from Phoenix Villa.
Phoenix Villa finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the two sides were once again involved in a war.
This battle was even more intense than the first one. After a long period of preparation, Phoenix Villa thought they could overpower their opponent. However, after the fight, they found that the overall strength of their opponent's soul realm had also increased a lot, and they actually blocked their attack.
Since the two sides were evenly matched, a tug-of-war immediately began, and a fierce fight began.
At the beginning, there were only these two major forces attacking each other, but in a blink of an eye, the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect joined the battle and joined forces with the Soul Realm.
The Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect and Phoenix Villa have always been incompatible with each other, so the reason why they joined the war this time is very simple, that is, "they can't stand each other."
The attitude of the Great Snow Mountain Cult, which joined the Holy Land War with such a frivolous reason, almost drove the people of Phoenix Villa crazy.
As a last resort, they could only seek help from Prajna Mountain, with whom they had always been on good terms. After all, Phoenix Villa could not withstand the attacks of the two families alone. If they continued, they would definitely be destroyed by the two families.
Prajna Mountain initially tried to persuade the people from the three holy places to restrain themselves, but the Soul Realm and the Great Snow Mountain Cult did not take their words seriously, and even took the initiative to provoke and attack the people from Prajna Mountain. Prajna Mountain could no longer sit still and had to join the Phoenix Villa.
At the beginning, the Imperial City was still trying to persuade both sides and try to get them to live in peace. However, after some efforts, they found that it was in vain. The four holy places, which were already blood-thirsty, had no intention of stopping.
The Imperial City had no choice but to restrain itself and allow the four families to fight, adopting an attitude of not helping either side.
The scale of this battle far exceeded everyone's imagination.
In addition to the Four Holy Lands themselves, their vassal forces and allied forces began to be drawn into the war, and for a time the entire continent was in flames.
Except for the Imperial City itself and their alliances and vassal forces, almost all forces, big and small, were involved in the battle.
Some forces originally had no relationship with the major holy places, but because they were located near areas where battles frequently occurred, they were eventually forced to choose sides and joined the battle.
This change caused the development of many forces to stagnate, at least their business dealings were much worse.
The only force that was able to achieve rapid development in this chaos was the Traveling Merchants Association.
The Traveling Merchants Association itself is engaged in the business of low-level talisman masters, and most of their personnel are low-level businessmen.
Even in the event of war, it is impossible to block the movement of these grassroots merchants. They can always enter some blockaded areas through various channels and transport various goods into them.
Of course, when they come out, they will also bring out a lot of intelligence information. In this way, the powerful intelligence capabilities of the Traveling Merchants Association will be displayed to everyone.
For a time, the Traveling Merchants Association became the largest intelligence export agency, with countless organizations purchasing intelligence from them every day. As a result, the Traveling Merchants Association frantically increased its intelligence collection and integration capabilities and established the most complete intelligence team.
During the war, their intelligence capabilities in some areas even surpassed those of the four major chambers of commerce.
On the other hand, after the battle began, changes began to occur on the side of the four major chambers of commerce, and the Tao and Zhu families began to oppose the Guan and Zhao families.
The four major chambers of commerce that were originally united as a whole were directly split into two parts. The Tao and Zhu families favored and supported the Soul Realm and the Great Snow Mountain Sect, while the Guan and Zhao families supported Phoenix Villa and Prajna Mountain.
Their separation made the situation on the mainland even more complicated, and there was a feeling that everyone was in danger.
… … … … … …
As for Ye Li, after a day and a half of continuously absorbing spiritual energy, his bones had almost completely turned into jade.
The existence of the gold-inlaid bone characters increased the speed of his innate bone transformation many times.
The innate nature of the bones makes the bone marrow inside heavy and sticky, and it circulates like lead and mercury.
The blood and qi produced by these innate bone marrows, in turn, provide more powerful innate qi, increasing the speed of cultivation.
A cycle that was extremely beneficial to Ye Li's practice appeared in his body, making his cultivation level grow by leaps and bounds.
Soon, Ye Li felt that his bones had completely turned into the color of gold and jade, looking extremely luxurious.
Such changes increased the strength of the bones several times, and Ye Li's physical defense ability immediately entered the middle stage of the gestational period.
When his bones were completely turned into jade, his blood and energy suddenly became several times more vigorous, and the innate energy continued to flow out of his body.
These innate energies did not enter the bones again, but all gathered in Ye Li's dantian and began to flow into his elixir.
The embryo of the natal talisman in the elixir madly devoured the innate energy.
Immediately afterwards, the color of the embryo became more and more solid, and the remaining crystal shell of the elixir began to become thinner and thinner.
Ye Li knew that this was a sign that the fetus was about to break through the gestational period. As long as he absorbed enough spiritual energy and accumulated more innate energy in his body, the embryo would be able to grow completely and transform into a primordial fetus, replacing the elixir.
From the perspective of spiritual practice, the elixir is just food for the embryo to grow into the primordial fetus.
This physical force formed by the high concentration of spiritual energy will be completely consumed in the process of the embryo growing and developing into the primordial fetus.
As Ye Li continued to absorb the spiritual energy in the pool, the embryo grew a little bit bigger, and the purple halo on the surface completely retracted and turned into a purple hard shell.
There are runes of eight different colors engraved on the shell. Some of these runes are complete and some are incomplete. After Ye Li took a closer look, he found that these runes were actually the attribute origin runes of his rune root.
For every additional talisman root he had, a group of runes would be imprinted on the surface of the Yuantai during the Yuantai period. It was not until now that Ye Li discovered that the original runes of his soul-moving talisman root were also imprinted on the Yuantai shell.
Some of these runes are connected to each other, while others are disconnected. It seems that there are still many runes that have not reached the perfect state.
