At this moment, Yunhai Continent has fallen into a turbulent situation. Ever since the four monks of the Yunhai Sect died in the Nine Sky Starry Sky, the entire Yunhai Continent began to be turbulent. Each sect is ready to take action, and the situation has become extremely tense and complicated.
Countless monks on the Yunhai Road are paying close attention to the development of the situation, trying to find their own foothold in this troubled world.
Although Yunhai Sect also has an Ascension Realm monk sitting in charge, which has brought some stability to the situation, this calm is only temporary. Although various sects have temporarily stood still due to this, undercurrents are surging and may cause new turmoil at any time.
Although this Ascension Realm monk is powerful, it is difficult to maintain peace for a long time in the face of the cooperation of many sects.
The Yunhai Sect has lost control of the Nine Heavens Star Sea, and even the Nascent Soul monks who have been stationed here for a long time have become inseparable and no longer under the control of the Yunhai Sect.
The abundant resources in the Nine Heavens Star Sea have been left unmanaged for many years. Some Yunhai Sect monks became greedy and put all these resources into their own storage bags instead of turning them over to the sect.
As time went by, their ambitions gradually expanded, each occupying a sea area and secretly developing their own power. Nowadays, they are no longer satisfied with the constraints of Yunhai Sect, and intend to dominate this vast sea of stars.
Nowadays, the only area that Yunhai Sect can control is the hilltop where those fallen gods are located, and their disciples can still be intimidated for a while. The other affiliated sects no longer depended on them and focused on developing their own strength.
Chengyue Island, adjacent to the Nine Heavens Star Sea, is now in turmoil. Shortly after Fairy Fengling left Xishan Island, Wei Changqing, a cultivator in the apotheosis stage of the Xinghai Alliance, occupied Xishan Island. He originally thought there would be a fierce battle with Zhang Tianyi, but Xishan Island had already been deserted and did not encounter any resistance.
Wei Changqing originally planned to use the information about Gu Jianfeng as a cover to launch a sneak attack on Zhang Tianyi, who was dying. However, he did not expect that Zhang Tianyi also did not return to Xishan Island, which allowed him to easily occupy the entire island.
Wei Changqing did not know that if he had set foot on Xishan Island a few years earlier, he would have met Fairy Fengling. At that time, it was unknown whether he could escape unharmed. It was his caution that allowed him to escape, and also allowed him to encounter no resistance during the occupation of Xishan Island.
When Gu Jianfeng did not return for a long time, the Xinghai Alliance unanimously believed that Gu Jianfeng had fallen, and his power in the Xinghai Alliance was divided between Yang Tianci and Wei Changqing.
With the fall of Gu Jianfeng, Chengyue Island's internal forces have reached a state of balance. The original tripartite situation has now been reduced to negotiation and cooperation between two people. All resources are equally distributed between these two forces, ensuring each other's rights and status.
Over the years, the Star Sea Alliance has paid a huge price for infighting over Chengyue Island's resources, resulting in its strength being much weaker than before. Today, Chengyue Island has been divided into two parts by Yang Tianci and Wei Changqing. Yang Tianci controls the southern area, while Wei Changqing occupies the northern area.
At present, these two forces are independent and form a delicate balance. Together, they divided Chengyue Island's resources and sphere of influence, ensuring a relationship of both competition and cooperation between them.
This balance has made the situation on Chengyue Island temporarily peaceful, but it has also planted many variables and uncertainties for future development. Both Yang Tianci and Wei Changqing are secretly accumulating strength with the intention of occupying a more advantageous position in future battles.
There are actually two reasons why Wei Changqing chose to occupy the northern region with relatively poor resources. First of all, his strength is still slightly lacking compared to Yang Tianci. If there is a life and death fight, the possibility of defeat is very high, which is not worth the loss for him.
Secondly, the northern area is close to Lingyun Island, and now Lingyun Island has a good development momentum and is relatively rich in resources. If this area can be brought into his own sphere of influence, Wei Changqing's strength will be greatly improved, laying a more solid foundation for future battles.
After successfully occupying Xishan Island, Wei Changqing placed his capable disciples here as the cornerstone of a stable power. Although he is a cultivator in the transformation stage, with his current strength, if he rashly leads his disciples to attack Lingyun Island, it will be difficult to achieve a quick victory.
If he cannot take Lingyun Island for a while, it is likely that Yang Tianci will take the opportunity to seize the northern area he occupied. In this way, Wei Changqing will fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. Therefore, he would never allow himself to take such a huge risk.
Over the years, Wei Changqing would only come to practice in person when the spiritual energy vortex reached the sky above Xishan Island. Despite this, the development of Xishan Island has not stalled. In order to accelerate the development of his power, Wei Changqing spent a lot of resources to introduce many mortals and casual cultivators to inject new vitality into Xishan Island.
Wei Changqing's strategy aims to fully prepare for future attacks on Lingyun Island and ensure that he has sufficient strength and resources to cope with challenges at critical moments.
Today's Xishan Island has doubled in size compared to before Fairy Fengling left. As time goes by, the number of mortals on the island continues to grow, showing a vigorous development trend.
However, Monk's growth rate is relatively slow. This is because most casual cultivators have been absorbed by Lingyun Island in the past years, causing Xishan Island to face certain challenges in terms of cultivator resources.
What troubles Wei Changqing the most is that over the years, monks often died while hunting monsters in the sea. However, he could not completely stop these monks from going out to sea to hunt. After all, they also need training resources to improve their strength.
However, it was really difficult for Wei Changqing to do it while watching the monks risk their lives. He knew that the casualties of the monks would seriously slow down the development of Xishan Island, and might even cause his plan to attack Lingyun Island to be shelved.
For this reason, Wei Changqing took a measure, requiring all monks who planned to hunt monsters away from Xishan Island to inform the sect in advance. In this way, the sect can arrange travel in a unified manner to ensure safety and efficiency and reduce unnecessary losses.
Zhang Yumo already learned about it the first time Wei Changqing set foot on Xishan Island. She has already arranged for her disciples to monitor nearby to ensure that any movement on Xishan Island cannot escape the control of Lingyun Island.
Through this kind of strict monitoring, Zhang Yumo can not only grasp Wei Changqing's movements in a timely manner, but also provide a strong basis for future decisions to ensure the safety and stability of Lingyun Island.
From the beginning, Zhang Yumo was highly vigilant about Wei Changqing and took preventive measures. Most of the disciples who died when the monks from Xishan Island went to sea to hunt monsters were actually assassinated by the Yuanying monks from Lingyun Island.
The monks on Xishan Island have always been kept in the dark, thinking that their demise was due to an attack by monsters from the outer sea.
This covert operation allowed Zhang Yumo to gradually weaken Wei Changqing's power while avoiding direct conflict, buying valuable time for Lingyun Island.
