Chapter 147: Worry(1/2)
The demon clan's attack on the Yudu Sect's mountain-protecting formation has been going on for more than a hundred years.
During these more than a hundred years, no matter how fiercely they attacked the Yudu Sect's mountain-protecting formation, the Yudu Sect's mountain-protecting formation remained unmoved.
They couldn't see any signs of breaking through the formation at all.
And for more than a hundred years, these top groups have been dragged to this place. Although they have rest time, it is very little.
Even during the rest period, monks still need to be sent in turns to block the mountain gates of the Taoist sects and cut off their access to resources from the outside world.
Tired.
And it’s not just exhausting, it’s also taking a lot of risks.
It has been more than a hundred years since the dividing line disappeared, and ten heavenly demons have died at the hands of human monks.
The two most powerful tribes, the dragon tribe and the Yin-Yang beast tribe, both suffered huge losses.
The ethnic groups related to Mingwang Temple also suffered some losses to some extent.
If the Dragon King hadn't sworn to them that such an attack was actually effective and that it would only take a few thousand years to break the opponent's formation, they really wouldn't want to continue.
Because I can't see any effect at all.
Although their attack actually caused huge losses to the Yudu Sect, and even attracted half of the Dao Sect's Void-Returning monks to come over for support, they were outside the mountain-protecting formation and could not sense the situation inside at all.
The attack on the Yudu Sect has already dragged them all here, and they can't do anything else if they want to.
In this situation, they are indeed feeling very tired.
But there is no way to get them to retreat.
We have been wasting here for more than a hundred years and have made so many sacrifices. To retreat now would be to waste all our efforts and sacrifice in vain.
And what should we do after retreating?
There are no dividing lines now.
The dividing line not only protects the safety of the human race, but also protects their safety.
Even if they are willing to give up the Cangming Continent and retreat to the Shanhai Continent, there is no guarantee that the monks of the various Taoist sects will let them go.
This feud has been severed.
And it's not just a matter of hatred. The biggest problem is that those top leaders have no way to restrain the low-intelligence races in the demon race from attacking the human race, and they don't even have the ability to restrain the low-intelligence races in their own race.
This means that there is no possibility for the two sides to reach a peace agreement, and it has become a dead-end situation.
Between the demon clan and the Taoist sect, one of them must perish, and only then can the rest be able to live in peace and contentment - or be thrown into internal battles.
The reason why so many ethnic groups have united to deal with the human race is because the two sides are inherently enemies and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
You cannot retreat even if you retreat.
If they retreat, their alliance may no longer exist. In front of the relatively united Taoist sect, they will be like a piece of scattered sand, and it will be easier for them to be defeated one by one by the Taoist monks.
Although the Dao Sect has many sects, they all belong to the human race, and no matter how divided they are, they are more united than the demon race.
If the top groups like the Monster Tribe really give up such an attack and retreat to the Mountains and Seas Continent, they will split into small groups one by one, giving the Dao Sect an opportunity to defeat them one by one.
This also makes them dare not retreat at all.
Now the Taoist sects are besieged by them and dare not come out, looking very embarrassed.
But if they give up such a containment and retreat to the Shanhai Continent, their situation will be even more embarrassing than that of the Taoist sects.
Because each Taoist sect has a strong mountain-protecting formation, but they do not.
There is no other choice but to continue the attack.
Some ethnic groups have even begun to complain that the Taoist sect is not good at learning and building a large boundary formation, but it can only be preserved for tens of thousands of years.
If it could continue to exist forever, with humans and monsters each occupying their own realm, and never interacting with each other until death, then no one would have to worry.
What the Dragon King said was that if this kind of attack continues for thousands of years, the Yudu Sect's mountain-protecting formation will inevitably be unable to withstand it and will be broken by them.
But? Thousands of years are not so easy to pass.
Is this no different than living in the Mountains and Seas Continent before the boundary line disappears? In this place, every one of their heavenly demons must be on tenterhooks, guarding against whether a returning cultivator will suddenly appear and start self-destruction on them.
Every day is on tenterhooks.
These days are difficult.
Moreover, after thousands of years, whether the Yudu Sect can really be destroyed is also a big question mark.
Anyway, now they see no hope of success? They just have no other choice? They can only continue like this.
Even if it took thousands of years to destroy the Jade City, would they have won?
This may not be possible.
There are five Taoist sects in Sandao, and the Yudu sect is just one of them.
Destroyed one Yudu sect? There are still seven sects, all with such strong mountain-protecting formations.
If each of them is as difficult to fight as the Yudu Sect, and they are eliminated one by one? It will take tens of thousands of years.
Thinking that this cautious life might last for tens of thousands of years, many sky demons felt unusual headaches.
The Dragon King told them that each sect of the Dao sect has something like a teleportation array that can be connected to each other. Although they are separated in eight places, the personnel and materials of the eight sects can be gathered in one place.
Probably, destroying the Yudu Sect is equivalent to crippling the entire Taoist sect, and the remaining ones can be eliminated one by one in a few hundred years at most.
However, they have never seen something as incredible as the teleportation array, and there is no way to believe that it really exists in this world.
According to what they learned, the Dragon King had no chance to see that kind of thing.
Although the Dragon King is very powerful, they will not blindly believe everything the Dragon King says.
I can only say that I am hesitant and hope that what he said is true, but I don't have much hope.
Regardless of whether it is thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, these days are quite difficult anyway.
Sometimes they even envy the human monks hiding in the mountain-protecting formation - although hiding is embarrassing, at least they can sleep peacefully and live every day without fear.
Of course they don't know what kind of life the monks of the Yudu Sect live in the mountain-protecting formation of the Yudu Sect.
These more than a hundred years of continuous attacks have consumed a large amount of the Yudu Sect's formation materials.
Under the fierce attack of hundreds of heavenly demons and a large number of high-level demonic beasts, the various materials of the Yudu Sect's mountain-protecting formation were consumed quite quickly.
The array base is damaged every day and needs to be repaired every day.
In about two or three months, all the materials of a mountain protection formation will be replaced.
Countless spiritual stones were consumed.
The large movement formation also held back many monks.
Without the support of the monks from other sects, and relying solely on the monks from the Yudu sect to run the formation, they would not be able to survive such an attack for a month.
In terms of materials, all Taoist sects also have support.
Not only will they simply provide supplies, but they will also provide master refiners to refine various formation materials.
This is not a matter of lack of loyalty, but a matter of whether everyone can survive.
Everyone knows that if the Yudu Sect cannot survive, they will be even more unable to survive.
Everyone's interests are tied together. If we want to live, we must live together, and if we want to die, we must die together.
Helping the Yudu Sect means helping themselves.
This is a consensus that has long been reached by all parties.
Every time the formation materials are replaced, the monks of the Yudu Sect will feel huge movements from the sky, and can even feel the earth shaking, as if the formation will break at any time.
This also brought huge psychological pressure to them.
The core disciples trained by the Yudu Sect, the monks who have the opportunity to return to the realm of spiritual transformation, will not choose to retreat in the Yudu Sect during retreat, but will go to other sects through the teleportation array.
Because there are violent vibrations every day, which will affect the state of mind during cultivation.
It’s not just the Monster Clan that’s having a hard time, the Yudu Sect is also having a hard time.
It's even more difficult for them.
The demon clan finds it difficult and it will take a long time to achieve the final victory.
As for the Dao Sect, after a long period of torture, they may not be able to see the hope of victory.
They know that they have the possibility of victory, but that possibility is quite small.
Not even a 10% chance.
Many people are desperate.
Over the years, some monks have even chosen to commit suicide.
There are monks from various sects who choose to commit suicide in this kind of despair, among which the Yudu sect has the most monks.
The most famous one among the monks who committed suicide was also the one with the highest cultivation level, that was Zhuge Mingzhu.
The sect did not take any measures to stop this behavior from happening.
To be continued...
