“Chen my friend, this is today’s spirit stone share.”

Wang Yuanwu handed over a small cloth bag. Chen Mobai was a little puzzled as he took it and felt that it contained more than 5 stones.

“In the latest order from Uncle Zheng, the reward for killing a rank-1 peak demonic beast is an additional 4 spirit stones.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but reveal his surprise.

When he opened the small cloth bag, he found 11 spirit stones inside.

In addition to the five-stone reward for responding to the summoning order today, he had killed a black plague bird alone yesterday, and together with Qi Rui, they killed another one, which gave him an extra 6 spirit stones.

“The feathers of the black plague birds are excellent materials for artifact refining as well. After collecting these spirit stones, we at the Divine Wood Sect will handle the bodies of these beasts.”

Wang Yuanwu explained further. Chen Mobai then realized that these spirit stones were actually payment for the materials from the beasts.

However, he wouldn’t know how to handle these materials in the first place, so even if they fell into his hands, the most he could do was roast some wings to eat. If he handed them over to the Divine Wood Sect and even got a few spirit stones in return, then it was a win-win deal.

Compared to this, Chen Mobai is now even more impressed with Zheng Deming, who managed the distribution of the stones.

Well, he saw that the cultivators guarding the spiritual tree array banners today seemed to be a lot happier after receiving more spirit stones, despite the fact some had frowned due to their comrades’ deaths and injuries the day before.

Those loose cultivators who were hesitant about whether to pull out and fight for survival before, couldn’t speak up now.

At least at the moment they received the spirit stones, all the loose cultivators were full of energy and united in their resolve.

“Someone’s coming!”

After Wang Yuanwu handed out the spirit stones and was about to discuss the cooperation tactics with everyone, a bright sword light landed on the cliff.

“I am Ning Leshan from Golden Cliff, who is the leader here?”

The sword light faded, revealing a middle-aged man with a square face and three long straggling beards.

“Divine Wood Sect’s Wang Yuanwu, I pay my respects to Uncle Ning.”

Chen Mobai recognized this sword light, which was the same as the one that rushed out of the teleportation array and killed a rank-2 demonic beast yesterday. This was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

“Hmm, Brother Zheng assigned me to guard the west bank’s defense line, and I came to meet with you.”

After saying these words, Ning Leshan nodded his head and flew away on his sword, heading towards the location of the next spiritual tree array.

Although this cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage came and went in a hurry, it nonetheless gave the team immense confidence.

Indicating that even if the “Sacred Tree Divine Light” was used up and a rank-2 beast rushed onto the island, there would be at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed behind them. This immediately gave them a different sense of security.

“Golden Cliff is full of sword cultivators and they are generally among the strongest within the same rank.”

Qi Rui knew that Chen Mobai was a loose cultivator who had come from the small place of Cloud Dream, and was not very familiar with the knowledge about the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, so he started explaining to him.

Among the Five Veins of the Five Elements Sect, the Metal Vein has always been the strongest.

After the Hun Yuan Ancestor passed away, if it weren’t for the alliance with Golden Cliff, the Gold Core ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect would not have the confidence to form their own sect.

“What realm is Uncle Ning in?”

“I have heard before that he broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment just five years ago. I don’t know if he has practiced the two-phase technique. If he is a gold-water dual cultivator with this kind of progress, he might have a chance to attempt Core Formation before his life limit.”

The Divine Wood Sect would organise an exchange program every once in a while where disciples who practiced sword techniques would be sent to Golden Cliff to learn. Qi Rui, who was practicing Crimson Flame Sword Decree, had the fortunate opportunity to stay at Golden Cliff for a period of time, and he remembered the name Ning Leshan very clearly.

“If practicing the two-phase technique increases the chance of Core Formation, why wouldn’t one cultivate it?”

Chen Mobai found it very strange. Given Ning Leshan’s status as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he certainly would want to reach Core Formation.

This Dual Phase Technique increased the odds of achieving Core Formation so significantly, he would have definitely cultivated it if he were in that place.

“Most of our Divine Wood Sect disciples who meet the requirements will practice the Dual Phase Technique, but it’s different for the sword cultivators of the Golden Cliff.”

“Many of them believe that sword cultivation needs a pure Sword Heart. Cultivating the Dual Phase Technique would impure their hearts. They would rather focus on a Sword technique that aligns with their own Spiritual Root and temperament, which allows them to forge ahead bravely and vigorously.”

“In fact, among the Five Veins of the Five Elements Sect, only our Divine Wood Sect places such great importance on the Dual Phase Technique. That’s because the ‘Longevity Sutra’ can increase lifespan, and after Foundation Establishment, cultivators can get an extra lifespan of sixty-year cycle to breakthrough the bottleneck. In the other four veins, nine out of ten cultivators who practice the Dual Phase Technique would end up dying of old age.”

After hearing Qi Rui’s explanation, Chen Mobai could not help but admire the unique advantage of the Divine Wood Sect.

No wonder they had the audacity to split after the Ancestor Hun Yuan’s passing.

At this point, Wang Yuanwu gathered everyone again and had them set up defensive lines as they had been divided into teams the day before.

Chen Mobai led Brother Shi Pengyi to the same spot they had fought in yesterday. Qi Rui was standing on the outermost edge, forming the first line of defense with the other Divine Wood Sect disciples.

Attack!

As expected, in a short while, the two Rank-2 Bird Kings led thousands of Black Plague Birds. It seemed they scattered around the nearby waters and in the sky to avoid being wiped out altogether by the Sacred Tree Divine Light.

There was no more poking and prodding; they went straight into the most dangerous stage of the battle.

The place where Chen Mobai and his group had set up the Spirit Tree Array Banners was still the primary target of the flock of Black Plague Birds.

It seemed they had tested the limits of this team’s power yesterday, so today the two Bird Kings sent thirty Rank-1 Peak birds to besiege them with a fierce momentum.

If it were up to Chen Mobai and his group alone, they could only face these demonic beasts with heavy losses.

If they fought to the death, no one might survive.

But today, everyone was full of confidence.

Wang Yuanwu nodded to his junior brother Liu beside him. Without any hesitation, Liu released the Sacred Tree Divine Light, which had recovered after being energized overnight.

Amidst the loud rumbling noise,

The thirty Rank-1 Peak Big Black Plague Birds, which rushed in front of them, were mostly vaporized into a mist of blood by this sudden burst of Sacred Tree Divine Light, despite their careful dispersion.

“Attack! Don’t let any of these beasts escape!”

Under Wang Yuanwu’s command, Qi Rui and other Divine Wood Sect disciples charged off the cliff with him.

Attack!

At this point, the Bird King who was supervising from the distant clouds above uttered a harsh cry.

Seeing that they had used the Sacred Tree Divine Light, the uninjured Rank-2 Bird King in his peak state, flapped his wings, revealing his true form, and charged towards them.

“Evil beast, how dare you!”

Ning Leshan, who had been hiding on one side, flew over with his Sword Control Technique and directly blocked the Bird King in mid-air.

The thunderous roar occurred once again!

Meanwhile, Sacred Tree Divine Light broke out on the other shores of Green Light Island too, cleaning up the surface of the lake.

After that, bursts of Sword Lights lit up, and they began to engage with the approaching army of demonic beasts..
