Chapter 241 War
Li Qingshan, Li Hanqiu, Alkaid, and others presided over the meeting, and soon after its commencement, the entire Nine Cauldrons Sect was set into motion.
In the decade or so following the conclusion of the Eastern Sea battle, everyone knew that the sect had entered a precious opportunity for peaceful development.
Everyone, from daily life to everyday matters, could feel the changes within the sect.
For example, the previously expensive floating carriages entered thousands of households, and nearly everyone could afford one.
Those magical artifact-level flying swords, worth millions, or even tens of millions, were no longer exclusive to high-ranking cultivators and the wealthy middle-ranking cultivators.
Ordinary middle-ranking cultivators could also afford them if they bit the bullet.
Furthermore, the price of the low-level elixirs needed for cultivation rapidly dropped.
Formations like Purifying Heart Formation, Stimulating Spirit Formation, and Spirit Condensing Formation, which originally required a hefty sum for a single use, also saw a significant reduction in their usage threshold.
The slightly wealthier middle class could even have these formations inscribed in their own yards, enjoying the conveniences of these formations at all times, ensuring that they and their children could quickly complete their initial and middle stage cultivation.
As for the wealthy class, it goes without saying that a villa equipped with a set of basic cultivation formations and protective formations had become the standard.
These changes in life made all members of the Nine Cauldrons Sect aware that the sect was getting better and better.
But as to how much better it had become, and what level it reached on the world stage, they couldn't say.
In the Void Divine Realm, there was some data about the Nine Cauldrons Sect, but the credibility of this data was worth examining.
In such circumstances, when the Nine Cauldrons Sect officially released its ten-year performance report, highlighting that the sect now had over 1.2 billion individuals who had developed Divine Sense and a total production of spirit stones reaching 464.1 million, the whole sect was astounded.
When enthusiasts presented the total production of spirit stones of all the countries in the world in tabular form, the entire Nine Cauldrons Sect erupted in excitement.
The figure of 464.1 million, only second to the Limitless Star Palace's 821.1 million and the Immortal Alliance's 625.8 million!
Below that, Myriad Beasts Sect, Supreme Yin Sect, Heavenly Law Pavilion, Golden Temple, their total outputs were basically between 200 million to 400 million.
Of course, there are also some large sects with high spirit stone yields, reaching a level that could compete with these Immortal Sects, but none of them, compared to the Nine Cauldrons Sect, were a step behind.
The Nine Cauldrons Sect had truly surpassed all other sects, becoming the world's third-largest economy!
Suddenly, an unprecedented sense of pride and honor filled everyone's hearts.
It was not long after these numbers were released that the Nine Cauldrons Sect announced another shocking piece of news.
The Nine Cauldrons Sect would hold a grand military parade in three months' time.
The specific number of participants and the scale of the parade would be announced in a month.
At that time, all the Patrol Heaven Warships independently produced by the sect would appear at the parade ground.
As for the specific performance and quantity...
Let's look forward to it for now.
The emergence of this news also provoked intense discussions in the Void Divine Realm.

Everyone was speculating how many Patrol Heaven Warships the Nine Cauldrons Sect would bring out this time.
Meanwhile, forces from the same Heavenly Star Continent as the Nine Cauldrons Sect, such as the Great Sun Sword Sect, Primordial Yang Sect, Brahma Heavenly Kingdom, Star Sea Sect, Ancient Immortal Sect, Xuanming Sect, Dayue Dynasty, etc., convened emergency meetings following the release of this news from the Nine Cauldrons Sect.
These words effectively choked back the statement that was almost blurted out by Longze Chuan.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of disgust, thinking that all the Hall Masters of the sect were fools.
He then regained his composure, realizing the cause of his disgust.
A sense of powerlessness.
Because he knew in his heart that he was unable to do anything, which led to that emotion.
The Nine Cauldrons Sect...
Had truly become stronger than the Great Sun Sword Sect without anyone noticing.
After a long time, he said somewhat dejectedly, "Then we might as well inquire with Limitless Star Palace and see what their response is."
"Yes."
The various Hall Masters responded actively.
...
In fact, there was no need for them to inquire.
The moment Limitless Star Palace obtained this public data, they had already convened a meeting.
Shortly after, the Golden Cores reached a consensus— they needed to suppress the rising momentum of the Nine Cauldrons Sect.
But the lessons from Black Feather Sect made them realize that with Myriad Beasts Sect eyeing them, if they took action against the Nine Cauldrons Sect now, they would surely follow in Black Feather Sect's footsteps.
Therefore, before suppressing the Nine Cauldrons Sect, they had to first tie up the Myriad Beasts Sect, preventing them from interfering.
After discussion, the Golden Cores promptly gave an order to the current Palace Master of Limitless Star Palace, Chuan Yunhai.
Subsequently, Chuan Yunhai made a three-day visit to the Immortal Alliance.
No one knew what the Palace Master of Limitless Star Palace discussed with the eight major families of the Immortal Alliance or what agreements were reached.
All that was known was that less than half a month after this visit, the Witch Sect, located near the Myriad Beasts Sect's headquarters — or rather, less than thirty thousand miles away — suddenly announced plans to convene a meeting to discuss joining the Immortal Alliance as the ninth major "family."
As a Sect with narrow and long territory, the Witch Sect was closest to the Myriad Beasts Sect's headquarters at less than thirty thousand miles.
Should the Witch Sect truly join the Immortal Alliance...
The previously opposing Immortal Alliance would effectively be right under the nose of the Myriad Beasts Sect.
At that time, all they needed to do was to arm the border of the Witch Sect, set up numerous formations, and prepare ample supplies, and it would be tantamount to going to war with the Myriad Beasts Sect in their backland.
If it came to that step, the situation for Myriad Beasts Sect would become unprecedentedly passive.
For this reason, Myriad Beasts Sect strongly objected.
However, the Witch Sect was determined to join the Immortal Alliance, with a resolute attitude.
Thus, within a mere half a month, the climate on the continent shifted dramatically.
The great behemoth that had recuperated for just over a decade—Myriad Beasts Sect—was stirring once again.
A war deliberately provoked by the Witch Sect, or rather, against the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace, suddenly erupted.
