Chapter 1605: Chapter 593: North Sea Barrier, Nine-Star Demon Hunter_2

This is also one of the reasons why the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering was able to rank among the top four.

However, according to Liu Fu’s introduction, the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering was actually established a long time ago.

This "long time ago" was before the destruction of the Yuan Mo Sect.

It was only after the destruction of the Yuan Mo Sect that the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering took the opportunity to split up much of Yuan Mo Sect’s territory and truly expand.

Another reason why the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering could remain safe under the eyes of the Canghai Alliance and Mo Luo Sect is unknown to Cultivators from other regions.

"According to the High-Order Cultivators from Divine Yuan City, the big army of the Demon Clan indeed paid a heavy price when they breached the Yuan Mo Sect. Not only were there countless deaths, but the army was also trapped in the Beiji Yemo Sky."

"It is said that a Great Power of the Yuan Mo Sect Soul Refining Lineage, before dying, used his Natal Magic Item, the Million Soul-Consuming Banner, combined with special geographical conditions, to set up the Million Soul-Consuming Array that shrouds the entire Beiji Yemo Sky. This Great Power, tried to refine the millions of Demon Army alive by himself!"

"Although it is unknown whether he succeeded, he indeed managed to trap strong individuals of fourth Order and above from the Demon Army there, no entries or exits allowed!"

"Because of this Great Power’s dying strike, it provided North Sea Cultivators a hundred years of breathing space."

"However, while high-order Demon Clan members can’t come out, lower-order Demon Beasts are not greatly affected and occasionally, groups of Lower Order Demon Beasts escape from Beiji Yemo Sky."

"These Demon Beasts, having survived fierce battles with the elite of Yuan Mo Sect, are few in number yet extremely fierce. Often, as soon as they come out, they carry along surrounding Lower Order Demon Beasts to strike human territories."

"And the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering is the first force to bear the brunt!"

"Their Three Oceans Defensive Line is known as the blood and flesh grinder, with countless Cultivators dying there every year."

...

After learning this information, Luo Chen finally understood why the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering could gradually grow under the noses of the three major forces.

The three major forces, they are using the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering as a barrier against the Demon Clan!

After all, if Rogue Cultivators die, they won’t feel sorry.

Moreover, through this opportunity, the three sides can fight for supremacy and ultimately unify the North Sea Cultivation World.

It’s said that over the years, the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering barely withstood the impact of Lower Order Demon Beasts several times, and aside from the newly returned Penglai Immortal Sect, both the Mo Luo Sect and the Canghai Alliance sent quite a few reinforcements there.

Even the Tianyuan Commercial Alliance from Divine Yuan City has provided a lot of resources as support.

Because of the existence of the Three Oceans Defensive Line, due to the crisis of the trapped Demon Army in Beiji Yemo Sky, all Rogue Cultivators who joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, without any regulations to restrain them, have only one rule.

That is, when the Beast Tide strikes, all Rogue Cultivators must unconditionally join the Three Oceans Defensive Line to fight and resist the Demon Clan!

"This term, to me, is quite lenient."

Luo Chen felt cheerful, fighting the reckless and ignorant Lower Order Demon Beasts is simpler and more straightforward than battling with cunning and deceitful Immortal Cultivators.

He likes this mode.

Presumably, other Rogue Cultivators like it too!

True enough, as he eavesdropped with his Divine Consciousness, the other Rogue Cultivators aboard who wanted to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering seemed to share this thought.

However, there are exceptions.

Luo Chen quietly glanced at an old and a young man standing on the upper deck.

They are the owners of this ship, the Divine Yuan Gao Family.

Though cultivators born and bred in the North Sea, they managed to expand their business beyond Divine Yuan City because their ancestors had some connections with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

At the moment, the old and the young were conversing upstairs.

"Grandfather, is the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting really that good? Why don’t these Rogue Cultivators think about joining our Immortal Cultivation Clans or Sects, but instead run all the way there?"

"Xiao Yuan, you don’t understand the hardships of Rogue Cultivators! If they don’t catch the attention of the master clan, even if these Rogue Cultivators join us, they would just be treated as pack mules. Especially now, during the great battle between righteous and evil, it’s highly likely they’d be used as cannon fodder. Tell me, would they still be willing to join us?"

"That explains it! No wonder our Gao Family has offered such terms, yet over these years we’ve only gathered a few Golden Core Sacrificial Officials, with scarcely any Foundation Establishment Guest Elders."

"Haha, Xiao Yuan, don’t think too highly of the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting either."

"Grandfather, what do you mean by that?"

"They do not know about the rumored horror of the Three Oceans Defensive Line! It’s said to be a life and death grinder, an ocean of blood and flesh. Very few Rogue Cultivators that go there survive. In fact, the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting, in this regard, has even partnered with the three major forces to establish a Star Level title, specifically to reward those strong Rogue Cultivators who survive numerous battles and don’t die."

"Could it be the Nine-Star Demon Hunter?"

"Correct, such Cultivators, are not judged by their cultivation Realm. Instead, they are judged by Star Level, if an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator receives the Nine-Star Demon Hunter title, even a Late Stage Great Cultivator would have to show respect!"

The youth’s eyes revealed a longing as he heard this.

"A Nine-Star Demon Hunter, does that really exist?"

"There was one before, but not now."

"Ah! Did he fall?"

"Not exactly, it’s just that this Lord already advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and achieved the True Master rank fifty years ago, automatically relinquishing the Nine-Star Demon Hunter title."

"A True Master!"

The elder stroked his beard, speaking solemnly, "Why else do you think this Star Level Demon Hunter title is set by the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering in conjunction with the three major forces? It’s said that those who achieve the Nine-Star title, upon reaching Golden Core Great Finalization, will receive enormous rewards from the four major forces, including a share of Nascent Soul Resources. This seems to be a special compensation for those Rogue Cultivators who have made significant contributions to the Human Clan!"
