A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

The Battle at the Border (1)

Master Sunreach confidently said, “If it were the original Restriction Breaking Beads, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to the high grade restrictions. However, Brother Long doesn’t know that the Restriction Breaking Beads outside haven’t been completely refined. They are only half-finished products. The true Restriction Breaking Beads not only require a few precious materials, but they are also quite difficult to make. However, they are quite effective in breaking the high grade restrictions. Of course, they aren’t very useful in other aspects, so our sect hasn’t refined many of them. However, for the sake of the Fellow Daoists participating in the battle, our sect has found a way to gather ten of them. So long as they wear these beads, if the situation isn’t right, they can immediately use the beads to break through the restrictions. In that case, we won’t have to worry about anything.”

Old Devil Concord glanced at Master Sunreach and added, “I was wondering why Fellow Daoist Sunreach wasn’t worried about tomorrow’s battle. So it turned out that you have a backup plan. With the Restriction Breaking Bead, we wouldn’t have to fear any tricks. However, for safety’s sake, our Devil Dao’s Heavenly Fiend Sect has a secret medicinal pill called the Evil Returning Pill. After consuming it, your body’s true essence will be stimulated and your magic power will immediately recover by more than half. It will also greatly increase one’s cultivation. Of course, after the medicinal effect wears off, one’s vitality will be damaged. Let each of these Fellow Daoists take a pill. If the situation is truly dangerous, you can suddenly take it and use it as a trick.”

Long Han chuckled and changed the subject, “Wonderful. With these two methods, I’ll be at ease.”

“Next, we should consider how to deal with those black-robed men. These people cultivate Devil Dao techniques, so it would be better for the Righteous Dao Alliance to select a group of Fellow Daoists to deal with these devilish cultivators. After all, the Sublime Truth Sect has many techniques that specifically restrain devilish techniques. They should be equally effective against these devilish cultivators.”

As Long Han spoke, he glanced at Master Sunreach to see how he would respond.

Master Sunreach immediately agreed, “No problem. Leave these devil cultivators to our Righteous Dao Alliance. However, you will have to deal with most of the sages.”

“Of course! The three great factions will deal with the spell warriors. As for the specifics…”

When they saw Master Sunreach agree to deal with the Devil Dao cultivators of the State of Jin without any hesitation, the others were greatly satisfied. They discussed for a long time in the hall until sunset before dispersing in peace.

According to the results of their discussion, these people returned to make their own preparations.

…

The day of the final battle arrived in the blink of an eye.

Early on this morning, the patrolling cultivators saw the spell warriors’ campsite on the other side flash with multicolored light, followed by a thunderous drumbeat. Groups of spell warriors calmly flew out of the campsite, riding their magic tools towards the center of the border.

At this moment, the cultivators who were already prepared hurriedly sent back their voice transmission talismans.

A short moment later, a series of bell chimes sounded from the Heavenly South’s main camp. Soon after, many cultivators that had been cultivating for a long time left their camps and soared into the sky as streaks of light, covering the sky and the earth.

For a time, spiritual light of various colors filled the sky. Clear cries and long whistles rose and fell. Against the aggressive spell warrior army from the other direction, it was as if two huge waves were rushing towards each other. However, when they were more than five kilometers away, both sides suddenly came to a halt.

Regardless of whether they were spell warriors or cultivators, when they could faintly see the enemy, they all stopped in unison and looked at each other with hostility.

On one side, there was no way out. Only by fighting to the death would the entire clan be able to seek survival. On the other side, they had lived in their homeland for a long time and could not allow external enemies to invade. Their morale was also abnormally high.

Before the two sides had even begun to fight, an astonishing killing intent had already pervaded the air.

At this moment, Han Li was floating above a group of over a thousand cultivators, coldly looking at the spell warrior army in the distance.

As far as the eye could see, there were several hundred streaks of multicolored light converging on the other side. The multicolored light extended for over five kilometers.

It was clear that both sides had sent out their main forces. Although it was impossible to estimate the exact number, there were at least sixty to seventy thousand cultivators gathered here.

As for high-grade cultivators that were rarely seen under normal circumstances, they could be found everywhere here.

However, even though there were roughly the same number of people, it was still possible to see the differences and similarities between the two sides.

Although the spell warriors had different attires, the low-grade spell warriors only had a few simple weapons. They were either round bowls of light or fist-sized beads. However, the most common items were spell flags of different colors. As for sword-type magic tools, they were extremely rare.

As for the cultivators, the low-grade cultivators had all sorts of magic tools in their hands, but most of them were swords and sabers. However, these magic tools were all sparkling and translucent, and their spiritual Qi was oppressive. In terms of grade, they were far superior to spell warriors.

Although the spell warriors were far inferior to the Heavenly South cultivators in terms of magic tools, the spell warriors were orderly. Even though they were flying in the air, they still maintained a mysterious formation. All of them were silent and only looked over with hostile gazes.

However, the cultivators were clearly lacking in training. Although they were able to maintain their formation, it was chaotic and disorderly. Not only were there constant whispers, but there were also people who left their formation from time to time.

The high-grade cultivators had no choice but to come down and reprimand the wanderers from time to time.

When Han Li saw this, he frowned.

This was no surprise! In just a few months, how could they have trained so many unruly cultivators?

Just the formation of these cultivators was enough to give the high-grade cultivators a headache.

On the other hand, the opposing spell warrior army was different. Although they were also formed by many Moulan allied forces, they often fought with the Soaring Tribes. It was common for spell warriors of various tribes to form an allied army, and they would become well-trained after a bit of practice.

These matters were extremely clear to the higher-ups of the cultivators, but there was nothing they could do about it. Fortunately, they were cultivators, unlike the armies of the secular world. This wasn’t the key to determining victory or defeat, so they turned a blind eye to it.

As Han Li thought of this, he sized up the spell warrior army.

However, the most eye-catching thing was not the Moulan spell warriors, but the dozen or so abnormally huge wild beasts in the spell warrior army.

They were mixed in with the spell warriors, and their bodies were like small mountains. They were extremely eye-catching.

Many cultivators of the Nine Nations Union had seen the fearsomeness of these huge beasts before. As a result, they cast their gazes toward these huge beasts with a trace of fear.

Han Li raised his head and looked at the sky. There was not a single dark cloud in the clear sky. He then lowered his head and looked at the chaotic cultivators below him. He sighed and shook his head.

He then flipped his hand over, and two small objects appeared in his palm.

There was a thumb-sized jet-black bead and a pungent red square-shaped pill the size of an almond.

These two items had been delivered to him by someone from Master Sunreach last night, and he had explained their effects and uses. It was said that every cultivator participating in the battle of wagers had them.

Han Li was slightly surprised, but he accepted it without hesitation.

It seemed that in order to defeat the spell warrior army, the three great cultivators had gone all out with their magic treasures. This time, they had taken out quite a number of items that they had previously hidden.

However, the three cultivators weren’t the only ones who had done this!

Thinking of this, Han Li could not help but look down at the other group of cultivators.

There were about 1,000 cultivators in this group, and there were 16 male and female cultivators in red and green attire.

They each carried two huge coffins, one black and the other white, side by side.

The coffins were covered in talismans of all sizes, and there were several tens of them.

Han Li recognized these male and female cultivators. They were disciples of the number one demonic sect, the Harmonious Bond Sect. This made Han Li very curious about the two coffins.

Unfortunately, although he had probed the coffin with his spiritual sense on the way, someone had clearly placed an extremely powerful restriction on it, preventing him from penetrating it.

In addition to these two coffins, there were also a few strange and eye-catching items in the other cultivators’ ranks.

On the other side, a cultivator from a certain Righteous Dao Sect was escorting a bronze platform that was around 60 to 70 feet tall. On the platform was a huge gong that was around 10 feet in diameter.

The surface of the gong was shimmering with golden light, and white talisman characters would appear from time to time. Nearby, there was a bare-chested giant sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Further away, there were a dozen or so pitch-black statues that were around thirty to forty feet tall. They seemed to be in tatters, and they all appeared to be ancient ferocious beasts. They were being carried by flying carriages in a lifelike manner, and it was unknown what use they had.

As for the cultivators further away, there were also a few strange items that appeared.

Seeing this, Han Li felt much more at ease.

This meant that all of the sects knew that this battle was no small matter and had taken out some of their trump cards.

In this way, their chances of victory would naturally greatly increase.

Furthermore, apart from these superficial treasures, there were countless other powerful treasures that were hidden in the storage pouches of the cultivators.

Apart from those huge beasts, there was nothing else out of the ordinary in the spell warrior army.

Han Li naturally did not believe that this was the extent of the spell warrior’s tricks. There must be some powerful killer move hidden somewhere.

It was truly difficult to predict whether they would win or lose this battle!

At this moment, an endless stream of cultivators and spell warriors had finally arrived.

Afterwards, apart from a few people, most of the people landed on the ground at the same time and began to fall silent.

At this moment, there was a commotion among the spell warriors, and three people flew out.

The shriveled old man, the short man, and the middle-aged scholar. They were the three Divine Sages of Moulan.

Three streaks of light also flew out from the side of the cultivators. They were Master Sunreach, Wei Wuya, and Devil Concord.

When they were about 100 feet apart, they came to a stop.

The scholar surnamed Zhong looked at Wei Wuya and the others and coldly said, “How about it? It is not too late for you Fellow Daoists to regret your decision. So long as you hand over half of the Heavenly South Region to our Moulan Tribe, you will be able to turn enemies into friends. Otherwise, regardless of whether you win or lose, your Heavenly South Region will suffer great losses!”

Wei Wuya raised his chin and indifferently said, “What a joke. It’s true that the cultivation world of our Heavenly South Region will suffer heavy losses, but if you Moulan cultivators lose this battle, your entire race will be exterminated. I think you spell warriors should be the ones who should be cautious!”
