Island 1

A disciple from the Divine Wood Sect immediately took out a prepared “Renewal Talisman” from his storage bag and reconnected the arms of the two Qi Practitioners.
“It’s our first time in battle and everyone is still quite inexperienced, but it’s great that no one died,”
Manager Wang indicated for the two injured Qi Practitioners to rest. If they wanted to continue in the battle, they could return and the Spirit Stones reward would still be available.
One of them immediately shook his head, indicating that he didn’t want to participate in the battle anymore.
The other one hesitated, feeling that he was unprepared this time. He was certain that he wouldn’t get injured again if the same situation occurred next time. So, he decided to stay.
As for the one who left, Manager Wang was gracious. He not only had one of his disciples send him back with the Flying Boat, but also gave him two more “Renewal Talismans”.
Meanwhile, the practitioner who stayed received five “Renewal Talismans” and even an additional Spirit Stone as consolation.
Both of these are at Level-3 Qi Cultivation, which is rather low.
Manager Wang’s spending spree to reward minor contributions slightly eased the downcast mood caused by the injury.
“After this battle, I noticed some problems with our coordination. Why don’t we split into teams?”
Manager Wang, whose full name is Wang Yuanwu, demonstrated his impressive skills during the battle. Everyone had faith in his capabilities, hence they all agreed to his proposal of dividing the 27 remaining people into five smaller teams.
A disciple from the Divine Wood Sect would lead each team, while the rest of the participants could freely form their own teams according to preference.
Chen Mobai was invited to join Wang Yuanwu’s team, along with three independent cultivators, one of whom was Gao Tuo who decided to stay after being injured.
The other two members of the team were a pair of fellow cultivators.
The male was named Shi Pengyi and was at Level-5 Qi Cultivation.
The female was named Luo Lin and was at Level-3 Qi Cultivation.
They were from a small cultivation sect and were the two that Chen Mobai had protected earlier. They had volunteered to join this team.
Wang Yuanwu agreed without much further discussion.
“Brother Chen, I can’t thank you enough. If it weren’t for you, my fellow cultivator and I might have gotten hurt,” Luo Lin said.
Luo Lin was only in her early twenties, although her clothes had been stained with blood, her bright eyes and white teeth, along with her attractive features, added a touch of beauty to their team.
If only her cultivation level was higher, she would probably have a lot of admirers.
Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm are very realistic, even when choosing a cultivation partner, they seek someone with a similar talent and cultivation level.
This way, they can mutually promote each other and have a positive effect.
Especially since after reaching the Divine Sense stage, their desire for physical beauty decreases dramatically. Of course, this doesn’t apply to those who particularly enjoy such pleasures of the senses.
“It was nothing, there’s no need for excessive formalities,” Chen Mobai said.
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Wang Yuanwu waited for his junior brother who was sending people back to return, gave the remaining five independent cultivators to him, and then walked over to his own team.
He first comforted Gao Tuo, who was injured, then asked each person to introduce their skills and magic artifacts to form a preliminary coordination plan for the team’s future battles.
Shi Pengyi possessed a Flying Sword inherited from his sect and five talismans. He was skilled in swordsmanship.
Luo Lin, a fellow practitioner from the same sect, practiced the same Cultivation Technique but didn’t possess a Flying Sword. She only had a Defensive Magic Weapon made from the shell of a Black Armored Turtle, which she bought from the Green Light Island Market.
Gao Tuo, on the other hand, despite being a solo cultivator, had a hook-shaped Magic Artifact, a Hand Crossbow and eighteen Spirit Arrows. Each arrow was powerful enough to kill a cultivator below Level-3 Qi Cultivation.
Surprisingly, Gao Tuo’s wealth seemed to surpass Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, which might explain why he dared to stay even after his unsuccessful cultivation.
“I have a few talisman, one offensive and one defensive Magic Artifact,” Chen Mobai said, conservatively commenting on his equipment. He had just used an umbrella to block a barrage of wind blade and wind arrow attacks and a Flying Needle to kill two Black Plague Birds.
Shi Pengyi and Brother and Sister Luo Lin had previously seen his equipment and knew it was exceptional.
“Friend Chen, how many talismans do you have on you?”
Wang Yuanwu asked the most crucial question.
After the battle started, talismans would become consumables; use one less one. He needed to know the precise number to grasp their actual fighting strength on their side.
“Well, I did not count them specifically, probably dozens of them.”
Chen Mobai hesitated and still didn’t tell the truth.
But even so, it surprised the cultivators of this squad. Wang Yuanwu, as the leader of this team guarding the Spiritual Tree Array Banners, also only had about eighty talismans, including those distributed by the sect.
“Don’t worry, Friend Chen. I will keep in mind the talismans you consume in battle, and once the demonic beasts are repelled, I will apply to the sect to compensate you.”
Wang Yuanwu’s words made Chen Mobai very comfortable. After all, he was receiving five Spirit Stones as daily wages. The loss of talismans during battle already included that.
But to lift the team’s morale, Wang Yuanwu was generous, or perhaps it was the sect that paid the spirit stones, and he was just saying it.
“During our team’s fight, Friend Chen and I will take the lead and end, and the other three Friends will be positioned between us. Will this work?”
As it was their first time cooperating and they lacked mutual understanding, this straightforward tactic was perfect.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai and the other three immediately nodded their agreement.
At that moment.
With a “swoosh” sound!
A talisman flew towards Wang Yuanwu. His face changed slightly, and he immediately caught it.
“Prepare for battle, many Water Serpent Bulls and Black Armored Turtles have been detected in the east-side water pool of the island. These Black Plague Birds may cooperate with them and attack the island.”
After reading the information contained in the talisman, Wang Yuanwu immediately shouted out loud.
All the cultivators that were originally resting began to move without hesitation, each stuffing a pill that could restore spiritual power into their mouths.
Afterward, everyone stood in their assigned positions around the Spirit Tree according to newly formed squads, effectively occupying all areas of this cliff.
A rumbling noise!
On the east side of Green Light Island, five beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light, like divine swords stretching toward the sky, heavily struck the surface of the boundless pool. This caused enormous waves, carrying countless carcasses of demonic beasts to the shore.
Not far away, nearly a thousand remaining Black Plague Birds rose from the wasteland, spreading wide. With angry, piercing screams, they started to roll towards this side.
“These damn beasts really don’t fear death!”
One of the Loose Cultivators spat and then picked up a Black Armor Shield, imbuing it with spiritual power and positioning it at the front of their team.
Chen Mobai’s eyebrows furrowed, surprised that these casualties at this magnitude did not cause the Black Plague Birds to shrink back in fear. Or perhaps the death of their king made these demonic beasts go utterly mad.
Regardless, the most important thing now was to deal with this upcoming battle.
In this area, they still had five beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light left unused.

But Wang Yuanwu had stated earlier that unless a Rank-2 demonic beast attacked or their western line came close to collapsing, they absolutely would not use them again.
That is to say, they at least needed to hold on for two hours while the Spiritual Tree Array Banners recharged.
“Protect yourselves well, and leave the protection of the Spirit Tree to Manager Wang and me.”
Chen Mobai reminded the three people stationed between him and Wang Yuanwu. After that, he pinched four Green Arrow Talismans with his right hand and, stimulated by spiritual power, flung them into mid-air.
A total of 24 green Spirit Qi Long Arrows appeared behind him from thin air..
