第二百四十四章 天灵州大战

"Who knows what's happening on the other side of the Five Elements Grand Void Heaven?"

According to Li Fan, the Great Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association had not engaged in open warfare for about three hundred years.

There were occasional skirmishes, but they generally stayed within a single state.

Such a full-scale mobilization for war was extremely rare.

Li Fan continued to ask his friends about the reasons behind the outbreak of hostilities, hoping that his guesses were correct.

Unfortunately, it seemed the war was highly classified, as all he received in response were "not quite sure."

The shadow of war loomed over everyone. The peaceful atmosphere on Immortal Ten Thousand Islands had turned somber and tense.

Everyone's faces reflected a mix of anxiety and unease.

As an array technician for the Strategy Hall, Li Fan also received his assignment: to patrol the borders of Cunyun Sea with members from the Martial Arts Academy in small teams.

He was tasked with setting up arrays and constantly guarding against Five Elders Association spies.

The team he led was a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator named Shan Wu. Other base-level Foundation Establishment cultivators like Han Su were also part of the patrol force.

There were numerous such patrols, almost all the available forces on Immortal Ten Thousand Islands had been mobilized, indicating how seriously the Great Immortal Alliance viewed this conflict.

Jiang Zhengji and Du Xingchang were reportedly summoned to the front lines by headquarters.

"Jiang and Du working together can deploy the ultimate technique [Lustrous World], comparable to a regular Golden Core cultivator."

"And Master Zhang Zhiliang, the Array Master, seems to have been deployed to the front as well."

"So, it's the Golden Core cultivators who are the main force in this war..."

Li Fan pondered. The scale of this conflict was clearly larger than he had anticipated.

"Everything else is fine, but what if Ye Feipeng notices any discrepancies between his memories and reality at the 'Reborn'?"

"He's so cautious that he might just abandon his plans to kill the Crimson Flame."

"In that case, all my efforts in this life would be for nothing..."

With a mental shift, Li Fan's thoughts turned to the chubby Ye Feipeng.

Fortunately, Cunyun Sea was large enough. Since Ye Feipeng had been avoiding the Great Immortal Alliance during his missions, he hadn't noticed any signs of war yet.

"I hope the war ends soon and doesn't affect Cunyun Sea."

The saying "powers cannot reach beyond their destiny" held true for Li Fan, who could do nothing but accept this turn of events.

Indeed, the Great Immortal Alliance had strong control over its base-level forces. The secrecy of the war was almost perfect.

From a surface perspective, Cunyun Sea only seemed tense; there were no signs of actual warfare.

If not for his rapidly rising merit points constantly reminding him, Li Fan would have been completely unaware that a massive battle was unfolding far away.

Months passed as the sixteenth year drew to a close. Apart from occasionally repelling small groups of Five Elders Association invaders, the war had not affected Cunyun Sea much.

Under continuous completion of wartime missions, Li Fan's authority level increased to Derivative Eighteen.

One day, the reminder from the Heavenly Dao Mirror finally came: the eight-month-long state of readiness was over.

The Great Immortal Alliance had won the war as expected. After intelligence was declassified and discussed by all cultivators, Li Fan finally understood the full story.

Nine months ago, a team of Great Immortal Alliance cultivators tasked with developing an Earth attribute heaven discovered that the Earth attribute qi in this heaven did not diminish over time; it was constantly replenished from some unknown source. This discovery thrilled the cultivators because the qi clearly didn't originate from their own heaven or the Xuanhuang Realm.

After analysis, they concluded that this Earth attribute heaven was a rare composite heaven, with its rapid generation of qi coming from other heavens.

Through a series of twists and turns, the Great Immortal Alliance team finally discovered the complete traces of the Five Elements Grand Void Heaven. This was a significant achievement!

While elated by their discovery, the team also felt uneasy due to the location of this heaven. It lay in Lingyu State, adjacent to the Five Elders Association territory.

Such a precious treasure placed on the front lines was unsettling. So they contacted headquarters and requested support to relocate the Five Elements Grand Void Heaven back to the interior, near Tianyu State.

Before the support could arrive, however, Five Elders Association forces appeared first.

Somehow, word had leaked out. The Five Elders Association's surprise attack caught everyone off guard.

The expedition team in the Earth attribute heaven was completely wiped out.

According to their last transmissions before death, three Core Formation cultivators were among the attackers. Under the concerted efforts of these three Core Formation cultivators, the Five Elements heaven was dragged and moved towards the Five Elders Association's territory.

Not only did they sneak into enemy territory, but during broad daylight, they slaughtered numerous Alliance members and seized precious heaven resources. It was a grave humiliation!

The Great Immortal Alliance immediately entered Level Two combat readiness. Eight Core Formation cultivators and several Spirit Transformation cultivators were dispatched to pursue the Five Elders Association's forces.

They aimed to reclaim the Five Elements Grand Void Heaven at all costs.

Orders were given for each state to remain vigilant, preventing the Five Elders Association from making a feint attack with ulterior motives.

Relocating the heaven was no easy task. Even Core Formation cultivators had difficulty doing so. When eight Core Formation cultivators caught up with the Five Elders Association forces and prepared to engage, they discovered that their opponents were well-prepared.

In addition to three Core Formation cultivators who launched the surprise attack, five more were hidden as ambushes. Eight against eight, a major battle erupted.

The details of the fight and its outcome remained unknown.

What was known was that after this battle, the Five Elements Grand Void Heaven still remained in place. The Great Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association recalled their surviving Core Formation cultivators with great coordination.

Subsequently, a war primarily involving Spirit Transformation and lower-level cultivators centered around the Five Elements Grand Void Heaven.

The conflict lasted nearly eight months, resulting in countless fallen cultivators. Strange phenomena in the sky never ceased day or night.

When both sides were exhausted, the war inexplicably ended. The Great Immortal Alliance claimed victory internally because the Five Elements Grand Void Heaven was indeed relocated to the interior, near Tianyu State.
