Chapter 781 - 91: We Pay Our Respects to Alliance Leader Zhou!

Chapter 781: Chapter 91: We Pay Our Respects to Alliance Leader Zhou!

This has already happened,

just a few months ago during the ghostly mist outbreak, a Tier Three Core Formation Sect in the Eastern Wilderness has already been covered by the ghostly mist,

and now they have fled to other places, reduced to Loose Cultivators.

"You have already witnessed the dangers of the ghostly mist; even Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivators face the risk of falling within!"

"Currently, there are still seventeen places in the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm not yet sealed; just over a month ago, the ghostly mist erupted,"

"three sects were directly swallowed, and over twenty more are in jeopardy!"

"This is a calamity affecting the entire Eastern Wilderness, and only by working together can we overcome this challenge!"

After speaking, he glanced at the group of sects seated below, those located far from the ghostly mist.

"Previously, I had personally investigated the source of the ghostly mist,"

"and there’s exceedingly bad news; the ghostly mist is continuously strengthening, and perhaps one day it will strengthen to a point where even a Tier Four Array cannot stop it!"

"By then, when over sixty ghostly mist locations erupt simultaneously across the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, the consequences are imaginable!"

"In light of this, after discussions with True Monarch Tianci and others, we have decided to unite all the sects in the Eastern Wilderness to form an alliance,"

"to jointly deal with the disaster of the ghostly mist!"

"I am sure none of you wish to become exiles one day, do you?"

As soon as the words fell, the audience changed their expressions.

They were all shocked by Zhou Xun’s words.

The ghostly mist continuously growing stronger means that even those sealed by a Tier Four Array cannot rest easy—the disaster is merely delayed.

"Does True Monarch have any solutions?" At this time, Master Yuyuan asked.

Their Jade Spring Valley is located thirty thousand miles around a place of ghostly mist, and if Zhou Xun hadn’t helped seal the area,

it’s feared that Jade Spring Valley would have already disappeared.

"The only way is to kill the ghostly creatures and block the source!" Zhou Xun slowly said.

"But the ghostly mist has an extremely strong restraining effect on us human Qi Refiners; if a Qi Refining Cultivator enters, within at most an hour, they will be eroded and die by the ghostly mist,

Foundation Establishment Cultivators fare slightly better but are still greatly limited, unable to exert even twenty percent of their power,"

"Even we Core Formation Cultivators can only retain fifty to sixty percent of our divine techniques within!"

"Under such conditions, self-preservation is already an issue, let alone cutting down the ghostly creatures?"

True Monarch Yuyuan expressed concern.

This is also the reason why human Qi Refiners in the past retreated step by step in the face of the ghost army.

It’s truly because the ghostly mist has too strong a suppressive effect on mana.

It needlessly weakens most of their strength.

Zhou Xun was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth:

"I have already considered this matter!"

"During my travels, I discovered an array device—a heavyweight treasure that integrates arrays and the Path of Artifact Refining,"

"It is the Tier Four War Flying Ship!"

"Led by Core Formation Cultivators, combined with thousands of Qi Refiners and hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators to drive the flying ship,"

"such combat power can rival a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

"If we can refine a dozen or so War Flying Ships, then we can enter the ghostly mist to slay and drive away those ghost creatures!"

"And thereafter utilize restrictions to seal the ghostly mist entrance; only then can the ghostly mist be resolved!"

Zhou Xun slowly stated.

It’s just a pity that the Eastern Wilderness today no longer has the inheritance of the Tier Four War Flying Ship,

even Tier Three Flying Ships are only possessed by a few sects.

"Could it be that True Monarch already has the method to refine the flying ship?" Yet another person asked.

"Indeed!" Zhou Xun nodded.

The War Flying Ship in Sea Suppression Immortal City was created by True Monarch Celestial Star in conjunction with several Tier Four Refiners,

thus, within his inheritance, there also exists this complete refining method of the Tier Four Flying Ship!

It just so happens that it has come into Zhou Xun’s possession, and unexpectedly, there’s truly a day it will be of use.

"But such a treasure, neither Wangchuan Lake nor Tianhan City can craft it, nor do they have enough cultivators to man it!"

"Therefore, the second matter for which I have convened all of you is to discuss forming an alliance, to guide the various factions of the Eastern Wilderness in jointly confronting the ghostly mist disaster. What do you all think?"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun turned his gaze toward the audience.

"The ghostly mist is a calamity for the entire Eastern Wilderness, each cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness bears a responsibility to confront it. True Monarch Tianci and True Monarch Iron Mountain,"

"had already left the Eastern Wilderness, unaffected by the ghostly mist, yet they have returned to advance and retreat together with us!"

"As those residing here, what face do we have to not join? On behalf of Celestial Star Sect, I express our support!"

True Monarch Xingqiu declared resolutely right then.

"Indeed, with the four True Monarchs present, how could we hesitate to give our lives? Our Jade Spring Sect also supports it!"

As soon as True Monarch Xingqiu finished speaking, True Monarch Yuyuan also expressed support.

"I also support!"

"Support..."

Soon after, representatives of all factions agreed to the proposal,

"Good, in that case, today we shall unite to form the Eastern Wilderness Cultivator Alliance!" Zhou Xun announced.

Without a head, a snake can’t move; since the alliance has been established, we need Elder Zhou to assume the position of Alliance Leader!"

Following that, True Monarch Yuyuan immediately spoke.

"Indeed, let us have Elder Zhou become the Alliance Leader!" Everyone requested.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded.

"Since all of you are in agreement, I, Zhou Mou, will certainly not decline. From today, I shall assume the position of Alliance Leader!"

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed their heads in deference.

The alliance leader will be me, and the other three True Monarchs are also the supreme of the Eastern Wilderness. I propose that the three True Monarchs serve as Vice Alliance Leaders!"

"The strength of the three True Monarchs is great, we have no objections to that!" everyone said one after another.

"Since the alliance is formed, let’s now discuss gathering manpower and resources from each sect!"

"The ghostly mist is a disaster not seen in the Eastern Wilderness for thousands of years, and we must give it our all to stand a chance!"

"All sects should set aside past grievances!"

Then Zhou Xun looked at everyone:

"The Alliance Leader will be me; as for the other three True Monarchs to serve as Vice Alliance Leaders in our Eastern Wilderness, what do you all think?"

"The three True Monarchs are very powerful; we have no objection!" everyone said collectively.

Having said this, Zhou Xun continued:

"Now that our alliance is established, let’s discuss the personnel and resources of each faction involved in the alliance!"

"We need to put full effort into taking on this ghostly mist catastrophe that hasn’t been seen in the Eastern Wilderness for several millennia. Only with united effort can we overcome this trial,"

"It is essential that all factions set aside any past grievances!"

"Does anyone have any objections?" asked Zhou Xun, looking towards the crowd.

"The ghostly mist is a calamity that should be addressed by all cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness. We shall certainly comply with the Alliance Leader’s command!"

Following that, Master Xingqiu firmly declared, "I represent Celestial Star Sect, and we express our support!"

"With the four True Monarchs leading us, we should not hesitate to join; our Jade Spring Sect also supports this!"

As soon as Master Xingqiu finished speaking, Master Yuyuan immediately voiced his support.

"Now that the alliance has formed, let us proceed to discuss the manpower and resources required by the various sects!"

"All of you present, a total of one hundred and thirteen places, basically encompass all Core Formation Cultivators!"

"We must allocate according to the sect; draw one in three, and recruit Golden Core Cultivators to join the Cultivator Army!"

"For those not participating, the Spiritual Mist Fee will be enforced: High-Grade Spirit Stones are priced at 100,000, Middle-Grade at 50,000, Low-Grade at 10,000 for Tier Three Spirit Veins!"

"According to these regulations, we can collect at least once enough resources for six to seven billion, which is sufficient for the refining of ten War Flying Ships!"

"Once the alliance is established today, let’s also finalize the details without delay so that we all may return to prepare our sects’ personnel and resources for the alliance summoning!"

After discussing some detailed rules, everyone then left their offer, returning to their sects, preparing for the call of the alliance, both in human and material resources!
