A huge warship pierced through the sky and left. The people of the Sen Family finally felt relieved.
The Yin Family didn't make trouble for them. Qin Zhan and Gan Lin didn't hold grudges against them. Yin Qingsi took Lu Renhuang and the others away. The Sen Family could put their minds at ease.
Lu Renhuang and the others left in a battleship, a super battleship provided by the Yin Family. It was fast.
Of course, it was not as fast as teleportation or opening a spatial gate. That being said, there were too many warriors of the second tribulation. Opening a spatial gate was out of the question. Many people's souls couldn't stand it.
Teleportation was fast but after dozens of times, they would have to rest for a long time.
In that case, it would be about the same time as taking a battleship.
Teleporting so many people would consume a lot of divine stones. It was true that no force dared to collect divine stones from Lu Li's family. But it would be tiring to negotiate with them one by one.
Yin Qingsi brought many elixirs and materials, as well as some steles and other treasures to assist cultivation.
The battleship was fast. In three to four years at most, they could arrive at the Yin Family. Therefore, they could cultivate on the battleship for a few years.
They didn't have to worry about their safety along the way. Yin Qingsi had reached the Lord Realm and she was given a Sovereign Realm weapon by the Yin Family. She was strong.
The fact that the Yin Family sent two patriarchs of the sixth tribulation was enough to make sure that the average forces wouldn't mess with them.
Who would risk offending many emperors and attack Lu Li's family if they were from a major force?
Not even Phoenix Queen and Yang Emperor, who hated Lu Li, would dare to do this.
It would be pointless.
Lu Renhuang, Bai Qiuxue, and the others were worried but they were calm. After a few days on the battleship, they all went into closed-door cultivation.
Only the young disciples were in high spirits. Every now and then, they would stand on the deck in excitement.
They looked around and discussed the future. All of them were looking forward to the Third Heaven. They wanted to become the best, to make a name for themselves, and to return to their hometown in glory …
The battle at the Third Heaven was in a stalemate. The Asmodians' Abyss stopped expanding. Humans fought back several times. Though many Asmodians were killed, the Asmodians' Abyss suffered heavy casualties.
Therefore, both sides had to lay down their banners and rest.
However, thanks to the top-notch resources provided by the great clans, countless martial artists were improving their combat strength at a very fast pace.
Tens of millions of low-level martial artists were gathered in the Northern Plains Continent and the Chilly Winter Continent. These people were not innately talented or did not cultivate hard enough. They just lacked resources and opportunities.
Now, the great clans were providing an unlimited supply of pills, divine medicines, and top-grade treasured lands.
It allowed their divine power, soul, and corporeal body to improve rapidly. It also allowed them to comprehend the True Meanings in the various treasure grounds. This way, the increase in their combat power would be terrifying.
In theory, the super clans had the ability to produce a steady stream of Fourth Tribulation Warriors. As long as their talent wasn't bad, they could rely on their resources to produce a large number of Fourth Tribulation Warriors in a short time.
The Five Tribulations were more difficult and required time.
The great clans didn't think about nurturing fifth tribulation experts. Batches of warriors would advance to the fourth tribulation with the help of their resources. Then, they would rush to the frontlines to prepare for the next great counterattack.
Although the two sides had stopped fighting, the small-scale battles had not stopped.
Both sides were actually tempering their low-ranking soldiers, allowing them to familiarize themselves with each other's fighting style.
Blood was shed on the two battlefields every day. Every day, tens of thousands died. Their names were engraved on the Stele of Martyrs.
The Abyss of Demons was coming at them aggressively. They would not stop until the Third Heaven was occupied.
The human side was fighting for survival and dignity. There was no way back.
Unless one side lost all their powerful warriors and lost more than half of their warriors, the battle would never stop.
The powerful warriors of the human side were of the same mind. They would not admit defeat even if they had to fight to the last one warrior or one million warriors.
This was a fight for survival, a fight between races.
…
Lu Li and the others did not know the situation at the Third Heaven.
Lu Li had been cultivating in the Heaven Emperor Sword Formation in the Celestial Emperor Realm. Time flew while he was cultivating. Soon, a year and a half had passed.
Lu Li didn't come out. He had been cultivating. During the year, he didn't even move his body.
When he was tired or sleepy, he would sit down and sleep. When he woke up, he would cultivate again.
He had been studying for a year and a half. He had made some progress on the trace of the great path. Therefore, he was excited.
At the moment, he didn't care how many years had passed. All he wanted to do was to turn this little progress into a big leap.
There was nothing particularly big happening in the outside world. The only thing worth mentioning was that a month ago, the Saintly Lady Sect issued an announcement. They were going to hold a discussion at the Mount of Huayang.
The Saintly Lady Sect sent out invitations to all the major forces, inviting their young talents to gather at the Peak of Ingénue in three years. They would learn from each other, compete in martial arts, discuss, and make progress together.
This time, they even invited the major forces that published the List of Green Clouds to hold it together. The underlying meaning was clear: they wanted to re-evaluate the young generation's abilities and reformulate the List of Green Clouds.
The announcement caused a stir in the Endless Ruins of Gods. Many young talents responded at once. Some of the major forces stated that they would send their disciples to participate in three years.
In just a month, 13 of the 18 forces responded. The remaining five forces, including the Celestial Emperor Sect, did not respond.
It was a pity. If the top disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect did not participate, there would be nothing to see in the competition. They could not accurately formulate the new List of Green Clouds.
However, there were countless medium-sized forces that did not receive the invitation but mainly requested to participate. After the selection, the Saintly Lady Sect agreed to more than a hundred forces to participate.
There were even some descendants of old devils who requested to participate through various channels. Most of them were young people who were eager to get the opportunity to show off and wanted to become famous in one fell swoop.
More importantly, this time's Hua Yang dao discussion was organized by the Saintly Lady Sect. In fact, many people privately called this dao discussion as the Courtesan Selection.
It was also because they compared the Saintly Lady Sect to a brothel. Then, a group of young masters from the top clans would gather at the Saintly Lady Sect to select the courtesan they nominated.
Whichever young master was more outstanding and had a deeper background, they would marry their outstanding women to him and then form a marriage alliance with that force.
It was said that this time, the Saintly Lady Sect was preparing to take out thirty-five of the most outstanding female disciples of the outer sect to form a marriage alliance. Each of them was as beautiful as a fairy and could outshine the moon and the flowers. Furthermore, they were not just flower vases; they had a myriad of temperament and extraordinary strength.
The young experts of the entire Endless Ruins of Gods would gather together to compete. If they won, not only would they be famous, they would also be able to marry a beauty. Furthermore, they would be related to the Saintly Lady Sect and have a higher status in their clan.
How could those young masters who thought of themselves as virtuous and virtuous not flock to such a good thing?
It was understandable that the descendants of old devils and young masters from medium-sized families would try their best to participate in this discussion.
At the same time, Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong also received the final notice from the sect.
If Hua Yang didn't join the inner sect before the Dao discussion, they would be forced to marry out of the sect.
If they refused to marry, then sorry. The Saintly Lady Gu inside them would gnaw away at their bodies until only bones remained …
