Chapter 1893 Actions of all parties
The day after the Three Realms Dragon Slaying Tournament concluded, a flurry of preparations for the war swept across the eight wastelands and four continents.
Following Lin Jichen's plan, the various sects of the four states and the various races of the three realms performed their respective duties, turning the grand plan of slaying the dragon into concrete actions.
With Muxian Prefecture as the core of defense, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect took the lead in action.
Although Li Changsheng had his own selfish motives, he dared not reveal them, at least not for the time being.
He displayed the might of a super demonic sect, dispatching more than a dozen elders of the sect, each leading tens of thousands of disciples, to establish branch altars in the four border regions of Muxian Prefecture, namely the Netherworld Qi Mountains.
At the same time, Li Changsheng also withdrew the defensive forces he had previously deployed to prevent the Sword Sect from attacking his Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and also gave up all the cities of the Hidden Dragon Royal Family that he had previously occupied.
Li Changsheng even sent his deputy sect leader, Li Wuliang, to personally search the Nether Qi Mountains.
This decisive action surprised and shocked everyone in the Eight Desolations.
Originally, no one was optimistic about the Ten Thousand Demons Sect becoming the commander, but unexpectedly, they proved to be the most promising among all the less optimistic people.
Having contributed effort, money, and manpower, Li Changsheng was like a bad student receiving praise from his teacher for the first time, full of energy and eager to make a good impression.
His initiative also spurred all the major righteous sects in Muxian Prefecture to get busy, fearing that they would fall behind even the Demonic Sect.
As for the other demonic sects, they were even more worried. Li Changsheng had taken the lead, so how could the other demonic sects not follow suit? Their leader had yielded, so their underlings had to cooperate!
Meanwhile, the Tianyan Sword Sect took charge of the central area. Lin Jichen ordered the seven elders, including Tianming and Tianshu, to personally lead more than forty outer hall elders and nearly 300,000 sword sect disciples to activate the "Tianyan Sword Formation." The formation's cores were spread across thousands of main peaks along the border of the Mingqi Mountain Range in Muxian Prefecture.
The silver-white sword energy emanating from the sword formation intertwined to form a net, which could serve as both an early warning system and a first line of defense in times of crisis; the other sword sect disciples dispersed to various defense zones to assist in adjusting the sword formation.
At the same time, the three major forces—Putuo Temple, the Demon Clan, and the Ghost Clan—simultaneously activated their respective geomantic techniques.
Heavenly Eye Technique, Hundred Beasts Sky Patrol Technique, Ghost Mirror Technique
The three most powerful geomancy techniques were activated one after another, forming a geomancy network connecting the three realms, constantly searching for the existence of Zhu Jiuyin.
At the same time, Master Xuan Kong also dispatched Buddhist disciples from the Buddhist and Taoist mountains to cross the barrier and travel to the Western Underworld to search for traces of Zhu Jiuyin.
Like Muxian Prefecture, Huafeng Prefecture, Yuehua Prefecture, and Yongning Prefecture are all making intensive preparations for defense exploration.
At this moment, all the sects of the human race demonstrated an unprecedented level of cohesion.
This is the most united humankind has ever been since the beginning of its existence.
Meanwhile, the ghost race and the demon race were not idle either.
On the mountain of the demon realm, as soon as the Tiger Emperor returned, he summoned the demon kings of all races to discuss matters and dispatched powerful demons to either guard the territory of ten thousand demons or go out of the mountain to explore.
The Ghost Realm was not to be outdone. The Empress, her black robes billowing, mobilized 100,000 Yin soldiers and ghost cultivators to form ranks, opened a passage to the human realm, and wave after wave of ghost cultivators were transferred to various parts of the Ghost Realm.
Throughout the four seas, the king of the fish-men, Tie Shengyi's father, also mobilized a large number of troops and personally took charge, not only setting up a temporary command camp at the East Sea Pass.
Furthermore, 300,000 "sea patrol yaksha" were deployed to patrol the continental shelf along the coastline day and night;
The fish-men of the South China Sea weave warning nets using sound waves. Their sound wave transmission is even more effective than sound transmission jade pendants. Once they detect abnormal fluctuations on the seabed, they can sound out a warning, and the fish-men in almost a large area of the sea can receive the message.
In short, from the tight defenses of the various sects in the four states to the coordinated preparations of the various races in the three realms, an unprecedented cohesion is forming across the eight wastelands.
Whether they are righteous cultivators, fierce demon generals, or ghost soldiers from the underworld and various races from all over the world, they are all striving towards the same goal.
This alliance, transcending race and grudges, foreshadows a great war concerning the survival of the entire realm, which is already imminent.
As the supreme commander and the currently recognized leader of the alliance in the Eight Desolations and Three Realms, Lin Jichen was not idle either. Although he stayed in the Sword Sect to oversee the command, he still had to deal with intelligence and progress reports from various places in the Eight Desolations and Three Realms every day.
They often consulted Lin Jichen for advice on many matters, as they dared not make decisions on their own.
They only dared to proceed after Lin Jichen said it was okay.
Therefore, Lin Jichen had to deal with thousands of problems every day, and at the same time, he also had to make arrangements for his own sect. He was busy from morning to night, and would sit in the main hall all day long.
Lin Jichen finally understood why most emperors in ancient times died young; the workload alone was something no ordinary person could handle.
Those with poor health will develop illnesses within a few years.
Fortunately, these cultivators have strong enough physical fitness that they can sit for several years without needing to rest.
Of course, it is indeed boring.
Every day, besides replying to information and intelligence from all sides, I also coordinate and arrange the deployment of defenses at various locations.
Lin Jichen felt like he had become a customer service representative, dealing with one case after another, with almost no respite.
Fortunately, this situation is only troublesome in the early stages. Once everyone is in place, he won't need to do everything himself.
But judging from the current situation, this will likely continue for at least another two weeks.
This forced Lin Jichen to decline his plan to find the nun Jingyi.
The worst part is that the Yin-Yang Holy Scripture within him is stirring restlessly.
Since breaking through to the Feather Transformation Realm, the foundation that the Yin-Yang Sacred Scripture had accumulated for him was completely depleted during his breakthrough. Now he is completely empty and is eager to replenish it.
But because the task was so important, he had to endure it.
Even though Nangong Yue was in the sect, the couple were both too busy to even see each other.
Yun Lanyi and Ren Lan also returned to their respective sects.
Lin Jichen has now truly become a homebody who never leaves the house; having a wife is practically the same as not having one.
"Is the establishment of a branch altar in the Mingqi Mountains north of Yongning Prefecture, with 30,000 troops stationed there, sufficient in number?"
"can."
Lin Jichen replied to another message, and then another message popped up instantly. He sighed and could only continue.
This message came from China.
"Sect Leader Lin, we also want to do our part. We plan to send our newest robotic exploration team into the Nether Qi Mountains to search. What do you think?"
This was sent to him by Shang Wanhe yesterday, but Lin Jichen only saw it today.
There's no way around it, there are just too many messages, and dealing with them one by one will take time.
The main problem is that he can't ask anyone for help with this information, since no one else knows how he envisions building the defense network. So Lin Jichen has to handle it personally.
Upon seeing this news, Lin Jichen shook his head and chuckled. A machine exploration team? What a joke! Do they really think that the inanimate objects in the Nether Qi Mountains are unaffected?
Not to mention machines, even satellites can't get close to the airspace of the Netherworld Mountains.
"It's no use. The machine will become scrap metal once it reaches the mountains."
As soon as Lin Jichen replied, the other party responded instantly.
"Really! We just tried it today, it didn't work. The most advanced robot dog was destroyed as soon as it arrived, and two of them were destroyed by satellites."
Shang Wanhe chuckled and said, "Looks like I can't be of any help."
Lin Jichen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "There's a favor you can do for me: help me find someone."
"Sure, who should I contact?"
