The decision made, the colossal machine of the Sacred Land immediately began to churn.
Soon, everyone was aware of the impending great battle.
Concurrently, the treasure vault exchange list was disseminated to all factions affiliated with the Taiyi Sacred Land.
For a time, everyone's emotions were ignited.
No one was not excited.
The exchange list provided by the Taiyi Sacred Land was simply too abundant.
It encompassed virtually everyone, from the weakest warriors to the most elite within the entire Xuántiān.
Most of these resources and treasures were supplied by Xu Chuan.
They were items he couldn't use, obtained from the enemies he had slain.
However, just because Xu Chuan couldn't use them didn't mean others couldn't.
On the contrary, these resources were top-tier, essential for a warrior's advancement.
In the past, such resources would have been the most prized possessions of a Sacred Land's sect, reserved only for those with monumental contributions, never to be offered for exchange.
Yet now, the Taiyi Sacred Land had laid them all out.
And without any restrictions.
As long as one possessed sufficient Sacred Land contributions, anything could be exchanged.
In an instant, the disciples of the various major and minor factions in the Eastern Region were utterly devoted to the Taiyi Sacred Land.
Those who had harbored reservations about their sect leader's submission to the Taiyi Sacred Land could now no longer voice any dissent.
"Joining the Taiyi Sacred Land was the wisest decision our sect leader ever made."
"Indeed, such abundant resources, any single one of them could be considered a monumental opportunity, yet now they are here for us to exchange."
"I've decided, I will participate in the war, I will earn Sacred Land contributions, and I will become stronger!"
"Count me in!"
...
Throughout the Eastern and even the Southern Regions, countless warriors, without even needing the Taiyi Sacred Land's mobilization, formed vast and formidable ranks.
With a single command, they would willingly march to the Northern and Western Regions to fight for the Sacred Land.
The original disciples of the Taiyi Sacred Land were also assembling, each eager and ready to shine in this battle.
The benefits gained by the disciples who had accompanied Xu Chuan to the Southern Region earlier had filled everyone with envy.
This time, they would absolutely not miss such an opportunity!
They would definitely perform at their best to catch the Sacred Lord's attention!
Unlike the excitement of these disciples,
The experts at the Heavenly King realm and even the Half-Emperor realm were utterly ecstatic.
This was because at the very top of the exchange list were three wisps of Chaos Origin, with their descriptions following.
An opportunity to break through to the Emperor Venerable realm!
After countless years, it had finally reappeared!
With such an opportunity laid before them, how could they not be driven to madness?
Warriors who could cultivate to the Heavenly King realm were all prodigies among prodigies.
Their lifelong goal was to break through to the Emperor Venerable realm.
Now, this goal was within their grasp.
None could suppress the tremors in their hearts.
"I must obtain one of these three wisps of Origin!"
The moment they received the exchange list, countless experts secretly swore this vow.
A silent conflict had thus begun.
Although the Sacred Land contributions required to exchange for these three wisps of Origin were immense, it was no obstacle to them.
Xu Chuan, on True Yang Peak, quietly observed the surging tides of the Eastern and Southern Regions, feeling no surprise.
People live for their own interests.
With such immense benefits presented before them, it would be strange if no one was moved.
However, Xuan Sa's tactic had completely won over those factions.
From this day onward, there would be no other powers; only the Taiyi Sacred Land's voice would be heard in the two regions.
Just then, Xu Xingli arrived at Xu Chuan's palace.
"Brother... I want to participate in the war too!"
Xu Xingli looked at her brother, biting her lip slightly as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan was slightly surprised and asked, "What's wrong? Are you running out of resources?"
"Just tell me directly, and I'll give them to you. Why risk going to the battlefield?"
However, Xu Xingli shook her head. "No, Brother. The resources you've given me are enough for me to cultivate to the Half-Emperor realm. I just want to gain some experience."
"Having cultivated this far, I haven't even participated in many battles. My practical combat experience is severely lacking."
"I don't want to be a flower grown in a greenhouse. I want to be like Brother, a powerful individual with supreme strength and combat prowess!"
"This great war is the best opportunity for me to train, so I want to participate!"
Xu Xingli voiced a long-held thought.
Though her voice was soft, it carried an unyielding tone that left no room for Xu Chuan to refuse.
Furthermore, it was incredibly firm.
It seemed her visit to Xu Chuan today was the result of careful consideration.
Xu Chuan fell silent for a moment after listening.
Indeed.
The death of his parents in this world had always been a thorn in his heart. Therefore, to protect his only remaining sister, he had restricted Xu Xingli to cultivating within the Sacred Land.
Even during the initial invasion of the Demon Race, Xu Xingli had not gone out to fight them.
It could be said that possessing the strength of a Heavenly King realm second level, yet lacking commensurate practical combat experience, was not much different from being useless.
Precisely because she knew this, Xu Xingli proposed seizing this opportunity to gain combat experience through actual battles.
But battlefields were unpredictable, and anything could happen. Honestly, Xu Chuan did not want her to take such risks.
So what if she lacked combat experience? With him, her elder brother, present, who would dare bully her?
He, Xu Chuan, would be the first to object!
Seeing her brother's prolonged silence, Xu Xingli grew anxious. She pouted and said, "Brother, I know you mean well, and you are powerful enough to protect me, but you can't be here all the time!"
"I want to become strong too, to protect those I want to protect!"
"I don't want to see Mother and Father fall before me again, with me being powerless to do anything!"
As she said this, Xu Xingli's body trembled, evidently recalling that intensely painful memory.
Xu Chuan was also moved by her words.
Yes, he would eventually have to leave Xuántiān and enter the Chaos.
He could not, and would not, remain here forever.
He still needed to find a way back to his original world and seek greater strength to revive his parents in this world.
He couldn't stay by Xu Xingli's side forever.
She had grown up; she was an independent individual now, and she wanted to stand on her own.
After a long pause, Xu Chuan sighed and finally spoke, "Alright, then you shall accompany Elder Zhu to the Northern Region."
The danger level in the Northern Region was significantly lower than in the Western and Central Regions, making it safer.
Thus, Xu Chuan chose to send Xu Xingli to the Northern Region.
Seeing Xu Chuan relent, Xu Xingli's face lit up again. "Thank you, Brother!"
She rushed into Xu Chuan's embrace and hugged him tightly.
Xu Chuan dotingly stroked her hair. "However, for your safety, Ling'er will accompany you on this journey!"
"I will leave a mark on you. In a life-or-death situation, it will transport you directly back to the Sacred Land."
"Apart from that, I will not provide any other assistance. You must think carefully!"
Xu Chuan said earnestly, still attempting to dissuade her.
"I understand, Brother. I will not disappoint you!"
After receiving Xu Chuan's consent, Xu Xingli skipped out of the hall, waving back.
Watching her retreating figure, Xu Chuan sighed once more, wondering if this decision today was good or bad.
He waved towards the shadows, and Feng Qingyang's figure emerged.
"Qingyang, you will follow her on this journey and secretly protect her safety."
Xu Chuan instructed.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Qingyang will swear to protect the Princess's sister with his life!"
Feng Qingyang knelt on one knee and solemnly promised.
