Chapter 404: Chapter 297: Expansion, Obstacles, Battle Against an Earth Immortal

"PS: Brothers, asking for the guaranteed monthly votes at the beginning of the month.

A month later, Ten Thousand Poison Island’s Thousand Star Hall officially announced their external expansion notice, requiring all large guilds within a radius of 5 million kilometers around Ten Thousand Poison Island to either disband, relocate away from the East Sea, or be dissolved and merged into Thousand Star Hall within half a year.

The news caused a stir throughout the East Sea.

"Thousand Star Hall is finally showing their ambition."

At the Feixing Islands, Feixing Guild Alliance internal meeting, Ten Thousand Dragons Association Chairman Wang Hongwei slammed his fist on the table, saying gravely:

"In recent years, Thousand Star Hall has rapidly expanded, their personnel swelling six to seven times, producing four to five hundred loose immortals, clearly aiming to move against the surrounding areas."

Sea God Gang Leader Deng Hongyu nodded, saying deeply: 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Although there are many islands around Ten Thousand Poison Island, their scale and resources are limited, completely incapable of supporting a super guild with four to five million official members. They will surely deal with us after conquering the surrounding areas."

Another member guild chairman spoke:

"Given Thousand Star Hall’s current scale, paired with Chairman Su Yu’s powerful strength and status, neither we nor the Divine Ship Alliance are their match."

He looked at Alliance Leader Kong Luoshu at the head, speaking loudly:

"I believe our conflict with the Divine Ship Alliance should be set aside for now, and we should unite to drive Thousand Star Hall out."

Kong Luoshu lightly tapped his fingers on the table, speaking only after everyone finished:

"Divine Ship Gang’s Zhang Bonan has already contacted me regarding this matter. If Thousand Star Hall truly intends to advance towards Feixing Islands, the two alliances will unite."

"This matter is temporarily confidential, let’s first observe Thousand Star Hall’s actions, perhaps their target is not the East Sea but the Endless Forest instead!"

No one responded, because everyone knew this was impossible.

Two months after the announcement, more than four million Thousand Star Hall members split into three routes, launching attacks towards the east, south, and north of Ten Thousand Poison Island.

Each direction had one million guild members, with three main forces each responsible for one route, each having a Tier Seven Celestial Strike Ship.

The rear central army consisted of one million guild members, stationed with one Tier Eight Celestial Punishment Immortal Ship and one Celestial Strike Ship, ready to support any route at any time.

Su Yu didn’t make a move, the three armies swept through, crushing every guild in their path, forging straight ahead...

"Chairman, the southern army sent intelligence."

Su Yu, who was cultivating in the Five Elements Grotto Heaven, received information from Gu Zhiqiu:

"The southern army was stopped 3.2 million kilometers southeast of Ten Thousand Poison Island at Red Gate Island, which is a dojo of an Earth Immortal named Master Chixia, with many disciples. The southern army may find it difficult to capture."

"What is Master Chixia’s strength, what is his reputation like, how many disciples does he have, are there any experts, are there any affiliated guilds?"

Gu Zhiqiu immediately replied:

"Master Chixia is level 237, an exceptional template, possesses a Tier Ten Treasure, has a good reputation, and has over two hundred thousand players who have joined him. However, he has only thirteen direct disciples, the rest are disciples collected by his disciples."

"Among the thirteen disciples, eight are natives, five are players, the highest level is 186, the strongest player named Di Zhengfeng is level 142, has a Second-Layer Dao Foundation, and established a large guild named Chixia Guild which basically encompasses all disciples."

"Hmm..."

Su Yu pondered for a moment, replied:

"Have the fleet remain on standby at their current location, I’m coming over immediately."

"Okay."

Closing communication, Su Yu rubbed his temples and transmitted a message to Qingchan, who was visiting at Gengjin Peak with Chu Xinyue:

"I’m heading out."

"Husband, stay safe."

"Mm."

Ending communication, Su Yu transformed into a radiant stream, flew out of the Grotto Heaven, determined the direction, and vanished in a flash of Primordial Magnet Radiant Escape.

The speed of Primordial Magnet Radiant Escape is extremely fast, covering over 3 million kilometers in just a few hours.

In the void, a flash of light appeared, and a silhouette materialized, eyes meeting the vast ocean with a large island afloat.

The island is not very big, only about four to five hundred kilometers in diameter, its terrain quite elevated, averaging seventy to eighty meters above sea level, with a mountain peak thousands of meters high at the center, lined with buildings both on the island and the mountain. At this moment, the entire island is enveloped by a massive defensive barrier.

Outside the island, the air is filled with countless figures, arranged in neat formations, tightly surrounding the entire island.

Su Yu had just appeared when his second in command led his subordinates to greet him, all of whom saluted:

"Chairman!"

His second in command spoke solemnly:

"Di Zhengfeng from Chixia Guild just sent a message, saying that if we agree to one condition, he’s willing not only to have Chixia Guild surrender and join us but also to persuade Master Chixia to become a patron for us, assisting in conquering Feixing Island."

Su Yu didn’t hesitate and shook his head, saying:

"I don’t agree, directly breach the island, kill Master Chixia."

Su Huan expressed surprise:

"That’s an Earth Immortal, having another Earth Immortal on our side would greatly ease the pressure when dealing with Divine Ship Sect and Feixing Sect."

Su Yu let out a light chuckle and said:

"Even without him, I can directly break through two sects."

"Moreover, you only see the advantages brought by an Earth Immortal, but you don’t see the disadvantages they bring. If they use this as a condition to join the guild, they will definitely demand some degree of autonomy, like wanting to become the fourth main force group of our guild."

"Additionally, if we let Chixia Daoist become an enshrined member of the guild, Di Zhengfeng is his disciple. If master and disciple unite, they will gain significant influence in the guild. In the future, if I’m away for a long time, you are the main force group. If they cause trouble, how will you suppress them?"

With the strength and growth speed Su Yu has shown, the possibility of them causing trouble is low, but there’s always a chance, so why not nip that possibility in the bud?

After listening to his explanation, Su Huan nodded and said:

"I understand."

"Go deliver them the final notice, and we will launch the attack in one incense stick’s time."

"Alright!"

Su Huan turned and flew towards Chixia Island, loudly conveying Su Yu’s decision to the Chixia Society.

There was no room for negotiation in this matter. The guild could not possibly have a fourth main force group, not even Fourth Sister and Ninth Brother would have that opportunity.

Su Yu already had arrangements for Fourth Sister and Ninth Brother. He planned to have them start as small squad leaders, gradually learn management, and then evaluate their strengths. If they were practical, they could become big team leaders; if they were theoretical, they could hold positions like department heads within the guild in the future.

In the future, when they have spent enough time in the guild and gained enough experience or merit, Su Yu planned to provide each of them with a dojo as their foundation and family asset.

Su Yu didn’t expect them to help him much in the future; he hoped they would have children and expand the family soon.

"Hmm?"

While he was contemplating, a sudden white light flew out from Chixia Island, transforming into an old man with white hair and beard, who respectfully cupped his hands towards Su Yu from a distance and said in a deep voice:

"I am Chixia, having lived in seclusion here for many years, uninvolved with worldly matters. I humbly ask Profound Truth Daoist to show mercy. I am willing to swear never to oppose you."

Su Yu focused for a moment and then asked:

"Your eighth disciple told me he would persuade you to become an enshrined member of our guild. Are you willing?"

Chixia Daoist’s heart stirred, recalling his disciple’s words. This Thousand Star Hall is powerful, but has no enshrined Earth Immortal. Becoming one would bring high status and abundant resources. Collaborating with his disciple, wouldn’t it be...:

A smile appeared on his face as he said:

"Invited by you, Daoist, it would indeed be unwise for me to refuse."

Su Yu smiled, and Chixia Daoist felt a sense of relief, ready to mention his conditions, when he saw Su Yu’s expression suddenly turn serious as he loudly declared:

"You claim to be uninvolved with worldly matters, but you have hidden motives. Our guild is too small to accommodate the unity of master and disciple like yours."

With a wave of his large hand, he shouted loudly:

"Under my command, Thousand Star Hall, attack!"

The well-prepared members of Thousand Star Hall immediately launched an attack, countless flying sword treasures falling like meteors, countless poison users releasing Gu Clouds, tens of millions of Gu insects transforming into a vast cloud of insects, blotting out the sky and the sun.

Witnessing this scene, Chixia Daoist was both shocked and furious:

"You young one, you go too far!"

With a motion of his hand, he summoned a golden ring, holding it in his hand, and shouted sternly:

"Today I shall teach you, youngster, what it means to be an Earth Immortal!"

With a wave of his hand, the world’s energy surged violently, instantly condensing into a towering hand several kilometers wide, striking down.

The Grapple was not large but extremely solid, likely to capture a Loose Immortal with one palm.

At the same time, he threw the golden ring into the air, rapidly spinning it, with beams of golden light exploding like blades.

He also summoned a pagoda, throwing it above his head, instantly transforming into a thousand-foot giant tower, with a whirlpool appearing at its base, as a strong gravitational force fell, attempting to hold Su Yu in place.

"Good timing!"

Su Yu’s form blurred into a battle true form with four heads and eight arms. He pointed above his head, and a stream of green energy rose to form a Cyan Cloud Cover, directly nullifying the gravitational force of the giant tower.

The first pair of arms clasped the Sky-Cleaving Divine Axe, cleaving down with it. A hundred thousand mana were injected into the divine axe, drawing out a pitch-black axe gang horizontally, slicing the towering hand in half with one axe blow.

The second pair of arms drew the Sun-Shot Divine Bow, pulled the string with one hand, and one second later, a dazzling stream of light burst forth.

The third pair of arms wielded a sword, slashing continuously, unleashing Sword Qi towards the incoming golden ring, resulting in a series of explosive sounds, with golden light shattering and Sword Qi breaking, ending up in a stalemate.

"Quite the means!"

Golden Glow Zhenren snorted coldly, his form swelling rapidly, instantly transforming into a thousand-foot Earth Immortal Dharmakaya, spewing out tens of thousands of divine thunder strikes, which formed and fell, gripping the thousand-foot giant tower and smashing it down on the Cyan Cloud Cover.

"Boom!"

The mountain-like treasure smashed down, the Cyan Cloud Cover unmoving like a mountain, without even a flicker, only the green cloud rippled, instantly losing 3.25 million in defense.

But the next second, 3,250 mana were injected into the treasure, restoring the lost defense instantly.

The Cyan Cloud Cover has a mana conversion rate of 1000, 1 point of mana can recover 1000 points of defense, and 3.25 million defense requires only 3,250 mana to restore fully.

Given his current Dao Foundation with 550,000 mana and a mana regeneration speed of 350, even standing still he could endure for a long time.

This is the premium value of Tier Ten Defense Treasures, and it’s top-notch; only Immortal-grade Defense Treasures can surpass the Cyan Cloud Cover.
