Chapter 895: Defending the Eastern Sky, Repairing the Array Platform
Editor: Henyee Translations

This time,

A war between the Tianyao Realm, Tianling Realm, Changhai Realm, and the Floodgate Realm had become inevitable.

After finalizing the last details of the pre-war arrangements, the high-ranking officials of various sects returned with the final decisions.

The new world concerned the core interests of the Floodgate Realm, and even if it would trigger a war across multiple realms, it was considered worth the sacrifice.

Moreover, the deepsea race, eldarian clan, and demon beast race have historically been at odds with the human race.

This historical background paved the way for a comprehensive war, leaving no reason for a ceasefire.

On their way back, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan temporarily parted ways to prepare at the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, respectively.

Under the arrangement of the Pantheon Sect, both the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley were responsible for defending specific regions, and it wouldn’t be long before the two could meet again.

Upon returning to the Haoran Sect, Jiang Chengxuan first met with Sect Master Xue Ping to inform him of the Pantheon Sect’s decisions.

Although Xue Ping had anticipated the decisions of the sects within the Floodgate Realm, he was still very satisfied.

The war across the four realms was an unprecedented battle that could determine the rise and fall, the survival or extinction, of a race!

Previous conflicts with the demonic sects and the struggle for the new world between good and evil paled in comparison to this grand war.

If the Floodgate Realm was not united internally, it would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage before the war even began.

The current situation was precisely what he had hoped to see.

“Chengxuan, you’ve done well! You’ve bolstered the morale of our Haoran Sect.

There’s no turning back in this war; only through the unity of all sects can we ensure the safety of the Floodgate Realm,” Xue Ping praised Jiang Chengxuan for his efforts.

“Sect Master, you flatter me. I’ve only done what was expected,” Jiang Chengxuan modestly replied.

“I’ll arrange the specific battle strategies one by one.

You can start by familiarizing yourself with the Eastern Sky Domain. Elders and others will join you there soon,” Xue Ping instructed Jiang Chengxuan.

He had great faith in the capabilities of this newly risen Dao Integration Saint and vice sect master.

Instead of directly commanding Jiang Chengxuan, he preferred to let him think and act freely.

After all, Jiang Chengxuan was now seen as his successor and one of the core figures of the Haoran Sect.

“Yes.”

…

On the borders of the Floodgate Realm lies the Eastern Sky Domain, the furthest eastward stretch of this vast cultivation world.

Far removed from the hustle and bustle of the cultivation sects, it’s a place seldom trodden by cultivators.

The Floodgate Realm is divided into nine major domains, and the Eastern Sky Domain is one of these pivotal regions.

Bordering other worlds, it’s separated by formidable barriers known as realm walls, which are as intrinsic to the Floodgate Realm as the void itself, born from the world’s very essence.

These walls, impregnable to all but the mighty Dao Integration Saints, carry the weight of the world’s rules, rendering them unassailable without significant preparation.

The expanse of the Eastern Sky Domain is vast, reflecting the grand scale of the Floodgate Realm.

With its sparse population, most sects are concentrated in the world’s heart, leaving the borders desolate, with hardly any sect presence.

Amidst a flash of rainbow light on a modest teleportation platform, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan materialize, having rendezvoused before venturing into the Eastern Sky Domain.

“This is the Eastern Sky Domain? Despite my time with the Haoran Sect, this marks my first visit,” Jiang Chengxuan remarks, sensing the slightly tumultuous Primordial Spiritual Qi around.

“It seems a fitting stage for a grand battle,” Shen Ruyan observes, gazing across the desolate landscape dotted with barren peaks.

This small teleportation platform was all the Haoran Sect had invested in this place.

Usually, there would be someone in charge of maintaining it. It served as an escape route.

If one day they really could not stay in the Floodgate Realm, they would escape to the Eastern Sky Domain through this small teleportation platform.

However, none expected that this retreat route would be used in war first.

“Let’s start by repairing this teleportation platform,” Jiang Chengxuan suggests, patting the ancient surface with a chuckle.

Such a small structure could hardly support the war efforts to come.

Under the hands of two Dao Integration Saints from formidable sects, a luxurious, advanced teleportation platform, equipped with various arrays, rises from the ground—marking the first strategic deployment of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley in the Eastern Sky Domain.

After repairing the platform, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan jointly scout the Eastern Sky Domain, including repairing Thunderclap Valley’s teleportation platform.

They gather intelligence on the terrain, realm wall composition, and even identify the locations of array anchors.

Unwittingly, through countless battles, both have evolved into adept war strategists for their respective sects, mastering the intricate details necessary for vital war preparations.

Three days pass in diligent preparation until the teleportation platform stirs to life once more, signaling the arrival of a contingent from the Haoran Sect amidst spatial fluctuations and a burst of radiant light.

Leading the Haoran Sect’s arrival was none other than Leng Yuehua along with the sect’s other Elder Saints, followed by a host of disciples forming the backbone of the sect’s strength.

With the exception of those tasked with guarding the abyssal demons in the new world and those stationed at the sect, more than half of the Dao Integration Saints were present.

This was just the first wave; as the war progressed, many more were poised to rotate in.

In this four-realm war, every sect was committing fully, sparing no effort.

This was not just a war against foreign races.

Per the arrangements of the Pantheon Sect, each sect was responsible for defending its own territory.

A breach would equate to the sect being overrun, with immeasurable losses.

Under such circumstances, whoever slacked off was equivalent to committing suicide.

“Vice Sect Master…”

Leng Yuehua saluted Jiang Chengxuan.

The others, momentarily taken aback by the reminder of Jiang Chengxuan’s new position, made a salute as well but were stopped by a gentle force from Jiang Chengxuan.

“Elders, please, there’s no need for such formalities with me. Although I’m handling the duties of a vice sect master, we don’t need to be so formal. Just call me Chengxuan,” he said with a smile, earning nods of approval from everyone.

In a world where strength was paramount, maintaining respect for seniority without overemphasizing it was a sign of good character.

“Alright, elders and fellow sect members, let me first update you on the situation in the Eastern Sky Domain,” Jiang Chengxuan then said, pulling out a carefully prepared map to give everyone a detailed briefing.

Though some of the elders had been to the Eastern Sky Domain before, none had conducted thorough reconnaissance.

In war, every bit of preparation could be the difference between life and death.

Jiang Chengxuan’s meticulousness undoubtedly earned him further respect.

The newly appointed vice sect master was not only amiable and strong but also attentive to detail, making him the ideal choice by Xue Ping and Qin Shenwu to lead the new generation of the Haoran Sect.

Amidst the tense atmosphere of impending war, the Floodgate Realm began an unprecedented mobilization, weaving a detailed web of defense that quietly unfolded across the land.
