The Heavenly Pillar Sect Arrives

"*Sigh* the sect is too nice to me. But then again this is probably because I came back with such important news."

Rubbing the Sky Serpent Cane with his hand Ye Gui Feng smiles. He grasps the cane by the portion that is slightly beneath the serpent's skull.

With a single wave of the cane in his hand Ye Gui Feng's feet lifts off a few meters off the ground. A few eye blinks later Ye Gui Feng finds himself capable of flying through the air.

When Yang Jian Hao had taken him back to the sect through flight Ye Gui Feng was quite envious of such a convenient ability that mostly anyone above the Qi Condensation realm can use.

At this time Ye Gui Feng's mood is extremely good. Now that he can finally fly on his own it made it quite convenient. But there is also the added benefit for the next time that he might have to make a run for it.

Deep down Ye Gui Feng really hopes that that sort of situation won't happen again.

Flying through the air Ye Gui Feng returns back to the Awakened Corpses Faction. By the time that he got back his magic energy is almost completely drained.

"Patriarch Wei was right. This is taxing. But if I can increase my cultivation to the 21st level of Qi Condensation this shouldn't be that big of a deal."

Grade four magic treasures are generally for those at the Core Formation realm. It wasn't too surprising to Ye Gui Feng of how taxing this can be to use considering how his cultivation is only at the 13th level of Qi Condensation.

Regardless this treasure in battle will definitely give Ye Gui Feng an edge over others in the Foundation Establishment realm.

Walking around the place Ye Gui Feng greets his senior brothers who are busily toiling away at making Jiangshis for the upcoming war.

News of the war has already spread throughout the sect making everyone on edge.

The Five Pills Faction and the Black Steel Faction are especially busy. They were making Qi replenishment pill and body restoration pills while the Black Steel Faction are crafting more and more weapons. Every single crafting faction are essentially cracking out as much supplies as possible.

At the same time in the Rainy Blood Faction and the Nine Ghosts Faction all the disciples there are busy cultivating. If they can make even a minor breakthrough that would help with their chances of survival.

The Core Formation realm disciples such as Long Huangrong who usually never show their faces around the sect are even more busy at work than everyone else as they try to maintain a peak level body conditions.

Everyone knew that war is coming and that there is no avoiding it. As cultivators all of the sect's longtime disciples have chosen to abandon their relationships in the mortal world. There was nowhere for them to return to if they abandoned the sect and become a rogue cultivator.

Together they stand and together they shall fall. Where the sect is, is where they will be. Their debts of gratitude towards the sect must be repaid.

Old enmities between fellow disciples are put on hold as they all prepare to the best of their abilities by either contributing to the war supplies or raising their cultivations.

After finished with his round of quick greetings to his senior brothers Ye Gui Feng returned to his Immortal Cave. First he prepares all of his Jiangshi by giving them a round of routine maintenance.

Setting Xiao Ju Hong by his side Ye Gui Feng sat down crossed legged. He practices controlling the Sky Serpent Cane by having it move according to his will.

There was no time for Ye Gui Feng to really go to the sect's technique pavilion and pick out some manuals. Even if he did he won't have the time to comprehend them.

With the time that he is given Ye Gui Feng practices with the Sky Serpent Cane and trains in his control of the Ice Demon Grand Magic.

Ye Gui Feng knew that this magic technique of Ling Zang Mu is powerful but with his current cultivation level it is far too weak to be useful.

With his current cultivation and understanding Ye Gui Feng isn't quick enough to reduce the temperature of his environment. He needed to accelerate the speed of the temperature drops in order to fully use it.

Outside of training in these two things Ye Gui Feng also works hard on raising his cultivation base. He didn't have to worry about the ghostly voices as much anymore due to his training in the control abilities of the Ice Demon Grand Magic.

Time passes.

Throughout the day elders and sect disciples would change out in their role of being the watchers outside of the sect gates.

Other than that the elders would reinforce the defensive arrays of the sect.

While everyone is on edge a month goes by without any incidents. But on the day of the new month a change happens.

In the distance, within the forest grounds thunderous footsteps can be heard coming towards the direction of the Burial Grounds Sect.

In the air are practitioners above the Qi Condensation levels. All of them held flying swords and other magic treasures in hand.

What's even more shocking sight is the giant sword that measures 1,000 meters in length. On the flat surface of the giant sword are over 100 Core Formation realm sect disciples.

The more noticeable individuals are the ten elder class figures that stand at the tip of the giant sword.

But none of these individuals truly mattered that much in this war because within this war the highest realm of cultivation are the Soul Separation realm experts. They are the central figures of this war that determines the sect's victory.

To the dread of the Burial Grounds Sect on the enemy side are four patriarchs of the Soul Separation realm. The four of them approaches in carefree while causing the skies behind them to darken.

"That's...!"

"It's the Heavenly Pillar Sect!"

"Sound the alarms!"

An elder quickly responded to the situation as he calls for the alarms. Immediately all the remaining elders and the sect disciples that were in secluded meditation opened their eyes.

Long Xing He along with the other elders of the sect emerges from the gates as a flood of disciples pour out.

Yang Jian Hao and Wei Hailan appears in the air above the Burial Grounds Sect. Their expressions are grave as they look on towards the approaching forces of the Heavenly Pillar Sect.

"*Sigh* this will be quite a difficult storm to get pass."

"Agreed."

Yang Jian Hao sighs while Wei Hailan looks towards the enemies with cold eyes. The two of them take a single step forward and teleports to appear a few hundred miles from the Burial Grounds Sect.

Similarly the four patriarchs of the Heavenly Pillar Sect does the same. These four are the strongest experts in their own native land. With the four of them together like this they are even more fearsome.

The two sides looked at one another silently. Although they weren't fighting yet everyone can tell that tension is already building up between the six.

"Brother Yang, sister Wei, greetings to you two."

"Heh brother Sun, Yu, Lu, and Dun no need to put up a kind front. We know what you all want."

From right to left the patriarchs are Sǔn Tiě Mén (笋铁门), Yù Wéi Tiān (誉为天), Lù Yúnzi (路云子), Dùn Míng Hào (盾明号).

"It looks like you were expecting us."

"We've waited for you all to come here but it's not to give you our land."

"Then..."

Without any more words to say Yang Jian Hao's eyes turn cold as he draws out the dark sword causing a black sword beam to form.

"This is war!"
