Chapter 343 Battle against the Small Sects of Central Region begin
The battle for the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion became a chaotic dance of combat and strategy.
On one side stood the determined disciples and formidable elders of the three great sects—Heavenly Lotus Sect, Spirit Affinity Sect, and Wind Cloud House.
They were unwavering in their mission to protect the critical 5 Earth Veins, 19 Yin Veins, and 17 Yang Veins that sustained the Immortal Dominion.
Elder Lu of the Spirit Affinity Sect, an embodiment of unwavering resolve and masterful martial arts, led the charge as the initial wave of attackers approached one of the Earth Veins.
Her Three-Flower Strike technique unleashed a rapid flurry of precision strikes, each seemingly guided by nature's own hand. She deftly fended off the attackers and erected a protective barrier around the Earth Vein.
However, the small sects weren't easily deterred. A group of their experts devised a clever strategy, attempting to overwhelm Elder Lu by sheer numbers.
They unleashed a coordinated assault, hoping to break her defenses through sheer force. Yet, Elder Lu's composure and precise strikes disrupted their efforts. She swiftly adapted, her martial art's elegance becoming a shield that thwarted the attackers' advances.
Across the dominion, Elder Hu of the Heavenly Lotus Sect showcased her unparalleled mastery of the Celestial Lotus Blades.
Her Lotus Dance of Radiance technique was a mesmerizing spectacle, as she adroitly manipulated the ethereal blades, creating a radiant display that dazzled and disoriented her foes.
In response to the mesmerizing display, the small sects organized a pincer attack, closing in from two sides. They hoped to exploit the momentary disorientation caused by the radiant dance.
However, Elder Hu's disciples rallied, forming a protective barrier as they adapted their movements to counter the attackers. The dazzling display transitioned into a formidable defense, repelling the assailants.
Elder Fan, the unyielding guardian of the Wind Cloud House, stood firm at one of the Yin Veins. His formidable Tempest Fist technique sent shockwaves through the air with each thunderous strike. The attackers struggled to approach, buffeted by the relentless gusts of wind created by Elder Fan's assault.
Undeterred, the small sects devised an intricate strategy, summoning a group of experts with the power to manipulate the very earth itself.
They attempted to create barriers of stone and earth to shield themselves from Elder Fan's tempest.
Yet, Elder Fan responded by intensifying the ferocity of his wind attacks, countering their stone constructs with piercing gales.
As Elder Shui of the Spirit Affinity Sect led her disciples, she demonstrated her mastery of water-based techniques.
With synchronized precision, they unleashed the Torrential Serpent Formation—a dance of water and power. Waves of water surged forth, drowning the attackers in a torrent of watery assaults.
In a desperate bid, the small sects rallied their strongest water manipulators to counter the torrent.
They attempted to create a massive water barrier, but it was in vain.
Elder Shui and her disciples altered their strategy, channeling their water techniques to freeze the water barrier in place. The tide turned, as the attackers found themselves encased in their own icy prison.
Elder Ming, a prominent figure in the Heavenly Lotus Sect, exhibited her prowess with the Blossom Blade Technique. Her graceful movements concealed deadly strikes, weaving an intricate web of enchanting petals that entrapped and bewildered her foes.
The small sects, recognizing the beguiling nature of Elder Ming's petal dance, attempted to launch ranged attacks, hoping to disrupt her graceful maneuvers.
Elder Ming's disciples formed a protective ring, using talismans to create a dazzling barrier of light. The attackers' projectiles were harmlessly deflected.
On another front, Elder Ji of the Wind Cloud House demonstrated his formidable skill with the Cyclone Swordplay.
His swordsmanship created a tempestuous battlefield, with swirling winds and lightning striking terror into the hearts of the enemy.
The small sects summoned a group of aerial experts, attempting to engage Elder Ji in the sky. They aimed to disrupt his control over the tempestuous winds.
Elder Ji's disciples, however, unleashed wind-controlling talismans that amplified the cyclonic storm. The attackers were met with a maelstrom of wind and lightning, unable to breach his defenses.
The battle raged on, with the small sects constantly adapting and strategizing to gain an advantage. It was a testament to their resilience and resourcefulness.
The elders and disciples of the three great sects responded with unwavering determination and precise countermeasures, upholding their commitment to safeguarding the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion.
In the heart of the Wind Cloud House, a solemn meeting hall had become a focal point of strategic deliberation. Wang Jian, flanked by the Sect Master of the Wind Cloud House, Xue Yi, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Fairy Qian Shui, and the Sect Leader of the Spirit Affinity Sect, Fairy Ming Lan, sat in a formation at the center of the chamber. Before them, arrayed on a long table, were twelve remarkable mirrors, each inscribed with intricate symbols and glowing faintly.
These mirrors, known as the "Mirrors of Celestial Insight," possessed the extraordinary ability to peer into the unfolding battle near the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion. Six of them were attuned to the disciples and elders of the Wind Cloud House, another six to the Heavenly Lotus Sect, and the remaining six to the Spirit Affinity Sect. It was through these mirrors that they observed the state of their forces and devised strategies accordingly.
As Wang Jian calmly surveyed the images reflected in the Mirrors of Celestial Insight, he remained the picture of composure, his gaze fixed on the unfolding battle. Each mirror displayed a different sector of the battlefield, and the images shifted in real-time, revealing the fierce clashes and intricate maneuvers taking place.
Fairy Qian Shui, however, couldn't hide her growing unease. "The small sects have become more organized and resourceful than we anticipated," she remarked, her voice laced with concern. "Our disciples are holding their ground, but the situation is growing increasingly precarious." n./o/)v/-E-/l-(b//1--n
Xue Yi nodded in agreement, his brow furrowed. "Indeed, they've displayed unexpected coordination. Their numbers are beginning to overwhelm us in certain areas."
Fairy Ming Lan's eyes remained fixed on the images, her thoughts racing. "We must adapt our strategies swiftly. Our disciples and elders are our strongest assets, and we cannot afford to lose ground."
Wang Jian's response was measured, his voice steady. "The Mirrors of Celestial Insight allow us to monitor the entire battlefield and make informed decisions."
As the battle unfolded before them, the sect leaders and sect master exchanged rapid-fire observations and strategies, their voices echoing through the chamber.
Fairy Qian Shui pointed at one of the mirrors, where the Heavenly Lotus Sect's disciples faced mounting pressure. "We need to reinforce this area immediately. Deploy our elite disciples and use the Celestial Lotus Formation to hold the line."
Xue Yi nodded in agreement, his fingers tracing a formation in the air. "I will send Elder Shen with a contingent of disciples to support them. We cannot afford to lose that Yin Vein."
Fairy Ming Lan added her insights. "Our water-based formations can be used to create defensive barriers where needed. We must also focus on disrupting the coordination of the small sects."
Wang Jian's eyes glittered with resolve as he took command. "Initiate a coordinated counterattack, targeting their leaders and core formations."
The chamber buzzed with urgency as they fine-tuned their responses based on the mirrors' insights.
Amidst the intense battle for the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion, the three Sect Leaders—Fairy Qian Shui, Fairy Ming Lan, and Xue Yi—reached for their respective Telephone Artifacts, ornate devices enchanted with communication spells that allowed them to connect with their elders in the midst of combat.
Fairy Qian Shui's voice carried a commanding tone as she spoke into the artifact. "Elder Shen, we're sending reinforcements to your location. Hold the line at the Yin Vein and deploy the Celestial Lotus Formation for added protection. Focus on disrupting their coordination. We will regain control."
Meanwhile, Fairy Ming Lan swiftly issued orders to her elders. "Elder Qian, mobilize our disciples to create water-based barriers around the Earth Vein. Use the Torrential Serpent Formation to deter the enemy's advance. We must secure this vital point."
Xue Yi's voice was resolute as he directed his elders in the Wind Cloud House. "Elder Zhang, prepare for a coordinated counterattack. Target their leaders and core formations. We will show them the strength of our unity. Hold the line at the Yang Vein."
Their communication was efficient and focused, with each sect leader relaying strategic instructions to their respective elders. The elders, experienced and battle-hardened, acknowledged the orders and acted swiftly to implement them.
Wang Jian, observing the exchange, remained silent during this phase of the discussion. He understood that the strategic matters were in the hands of the Great Sects, and his role was that of an observer. The Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion held no direct significance for him, but he recognized the importance of maintaining the balance of power in the Central Region.
As the battle raged on and the disciples and elders executed their orders, the leaders continued to monitor the situation through the Mirrors of Celestial Insight. The clash of elemental forces, the intricate dance of martial techniques, and the coordinated efforts of the sects painted a vivid tapestry of combat and strategy.
