Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 83 – Monsters Incoming

The battle between Xuan Ling Sect and Zhen Ling Sect only seemed to grow fiercer as the days went by. It also felt like the battlefield had become a training ground for the sects’ disciples to hone their skills.

Every day, Lu Ping would see a constant stream of people traveling through the teleportation formations, either new faces joining the combat or old faces leaving the battlefield.

Several cultivators had put up shops on Xuan Qi Island, treating it like the new central marketplace and logistical base. Lu Ping, who had recently earned a fortune, would visit this marketplace for spirit herbs and charm papers to practice his charm-crafting and alchemy.

Master Immortal Liu had participated in several battles himself. He was rumored to have accumulated an impressive amount of merits by killing at least six Xuan Ling disciples at the Mid and Late Blood Condensation Realm. Now, he had already left the battlefield and entered closed-door cultivation.

Lu Ping initially thought he returned because of injuries. But after paying a visit, he learned that Master Immortal Liu only left because of a bottleneck in his cultivation—he was now preparing to break through to the Eighth Layer Blood Condensation Realm.

Some days later, Xuan Ling Sect finally couldn’t endure the stalemate anymore and made the first move. Xuan Ling Sect’s Feng Xu-Dao entered the battlefield and destroyed the cultivation base of a Zhen Ling Late Blood Condensation disciple.

His reason was that the disciple had publicly challenged his authority and threatened Xuan Ling disciples in front of his face. Hence, as a Core Forging Enlightened Master and a Xuan Ling cultivator, Feng Xu-Dao had to punish him to maintain their sect’s reputation.

When the news came out, it caused an uproar in the Zhen Ling Sect as the reason was absurd and completely unacceptable. They immediately condemned Xuan Ling Sect’s actions at the North Ocean Alliance.

Zhen Ling Sect’s Jiang Xuan-Lin entered the battlefield and confronted Feng Xu-Dao. A battle thus broke out between the two Enlightened Masters.

In the midst of the battle, the aftershocks from the Core Forging Realm attacks “accidentally” dissipated to the sides and “coincidentally” killed three Xuan Ling disciples watching nearby. The victims were all at the Mid and Late Blood Condensation Realm.

The arrival of Core Forging Enlightened Masters pushed the tension between the sects to its peak. The struggle between the Blood Condensation disciples seemed to be a mere prelude to the real battle between the Core Forging Enlightened Masters.

With this clash between Enlightened Masters on Xuan Qi Island’s waters, the war soon spread to the other sea regions bordering the two sects. These regions were Xuan Sheng Island, Xuan Yun Island, Xuan Chang Island, and Xuan Yuan Island.

According to Hu Lili, the battles were controlled to just these five sea regions, yet both sects had each dispatched more than a thousand Blood Condensation disciples.
