Chapter 1123 Avoiding the real and attacking the virtual
The original five major god-transformation forces of the Seven Star Alliance, except for the Shendan Sect, each lost a mid-level god-transformation monk on Qizhen Island last time.
Moreover, these four people are not very old.
Younger monks in the middle stage of divine transformation have a chance to break through to the late stage of divine transformation.
Breaking through to the peak of divine transformation in the later stages of becoming a god requires the ability to control the laws to an extremely high level, laying the foundation for future breakthroughs in Mahayana enlightenment.
The law is the projection of the Tao. To understand the Tao through the law, you need to transform the virtual into the real.
It is extremely difficult to take this step.
There are no seventh-level spiritual objects in the Immortal Realm of the Seven Star Sea. The core inheritance of the Shenlian Sect is all in the Ziwei Palace, and they have not been able to get it.
Therefore, if the monks here want to break through to the peak of divine transformation, they are more likely to try their luck.
In the absence of cultivators at the peak of Divine Transformation, the latter stages of Divine Transformation are already at the top of their game.
Such monks are the future helmsmen that the sect has vigorously cultivated. Losing one of them will be a heavy loss.
If there is no replacement, the entire sect may decline in the future.
The Earth-Splitting God Lord's disciple, the Iron Arm God Lord, is the next leader of the Tianshu Sect.
Lord Duanhun asked: "I have been discussing cooperation with the Wen family and the Wang family these days. What's happening on Qizhen Island?"
Baibao Shenjun replied: "Here at Tianshu Island, I have been handling various affairs recently.
According to reports from spies on Qizhen Island, after we retreated, the blood shark pirates began to deliver large quantities of supplies to Qizhen Island.
Moreover, the defensive formation has also been strengthened a lot."
After hearing this, everyone looked a little unhappy.
Things happened suddenly on Qizhen Island back then, and neither side was well prepared.
After the Blood Shark Pirates captured Qizhen Island first, the Seven Star Alliance responded very quickly.
Tianshu Sect quickly sent out men to surround Qizhen Island.
There is not much preparation work on Qizhen Island, and there are not many resources.
Therefore, the Seven Star Alliance has always adopted a strategy of siege and consumption.
Now the Blood Shark has freed up space and transported a large amount of supplies there.
The most terrible thing is that the defensive formation has been strengthened.
As the most important commercial island in the Seven Star Sea Immortal World, Qizhen Island itself has a complete defense system, with various defense formations laid out layer after layer.
The Seven Star Alliance dared to attack Qizhen Island before because the Seven Star Alliance also participated in setting up these formations.
It is clear what the weaknesses of the formation are, and the possibility of breaking the formation is relatively high.
But now the Blood Shark Bandits have strengthened their defensive formations. With this effort, they will definitely change the original formations.
The Seven Star Alliance's advantage in understanding defensive formations was completely gone.
Now in terms of the high-level combat power of both sides, the Seven Star Alliance has a small advantage.
But the Blood Shark Thief has a golden furnace over there, which is not easy to deal with either.
For Nascent Soul and below, the Seven Star Alliance still has the upper hand.
Lord Duanhun Shen sighed: "So, if we want to capture Qizhen Island, it will be very difficult."
Lord Tian Gong also said: "There is already a large sixth-order middle-grade spiritual vein on Qizhen Island, and the island has a complete defense system.
As long as some major changes are made there, we can only attack by force.
There is not much advantage in the high-level combat power now. It will be difficult to win through a strong attack, and a lot of manpower may be lost.
After the previous defeat, our Seven Star Alliance can no longer afford a major defeat."
The last defeat resulted in the loss of four monks in the middle stage of divine transformation, and also lost many warships and monks.
Most of these warships became the trophies of the Blood Shark Bandits, and the monks also became the Blood Shark Bandits' people, who in turn dealt with the Seven Star Alliance.
If such a situation occurs again, the combat power of both sides may be reversed.
Baibao Shenjun asked: "If other fellow Taoists have good ideas, you can also share them."
The Earth-Splitting Divine Lord was the most anxious: "Our Seven Star Alliance does not have monks who are proficient in formations. Fellow Taoist Wen Xuanyan is a master of formations.
I heard that Fellow Daoist Wang is also proficient in formations, so with the two of them here, it shouldn’t be a problem to find flaws in the formations.”
He was eager for revenge and somewhat lost his mind.
Before Wang Daoyuan could refute, Wen Xuanyan said: "If you can guarantee to suppress the Qizhen Island formation for three to five days, I can try to break the first layer of the formation.
But you know how many layers the Qizhen Island formation has.
Even if I can break them all, can you withstand the Blood Shark Thieves for so long?"
After saying this, others understood that this method was simply unrealistic.
Originally, the high-level combat capabilities of both sides were almost the same. It was unreasonable to think about suppressing the opponent within the coverage of the opponent's formation.
Other monks also put forward a lot of opinions, and everyone's idea was to continue to make a fuss around Qizhen Island.
Qizhen Island was originally a strong fortress, and the Blood Shark Bandits reinforced it.
There is no suitable place to stay in the surrounding waters. If you want to visit Qizhen Island, you can only cross the sea route of more than 300,000 miles from Tianquan Island.
In the process of traveling home, a lot of spiritual energy was consumed.
The blood shark thieves have already taken advantage of the territory. If they can crush them with strength, they can attack them no matter what.
But now we don't have much advantage in terms of strength, and if we have to go head-to-head, there is no reason not to fail.
Seeing that he remained silent, Lord Duanhun asked: "Qizhen Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I wonder if my friend Wang has any clever ideas?"
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "The trick is not to attack Qizhen Island."
He wanted the Seven Star Alliance and the Blood Shark Bandits to fight tooth and nail and consume the strength of both sides, but he didn't want the Seven Star Alliance to be defeated.
After all, destroying the blood shark thieves and killing their son of destiny is Wang Daoyuan's first goal.
The matter of dominating the Seven Star Sea can be slowed down for a while.
When the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce grows up, it will not be too late to establish hegemony.
After all, there are already many conflicts within the Seven Star Alliance, and the Wen family and the Wang family cannot pose much of a threat on the surface.
Once the Blood Shark Bandits are destroyed, the Seven Star Alliance will surely fall apart.
Earth Splitting God snorted coldly: "Young friend Wang, are you just entertaining us? Those who died in the battle on Qizhen Island were not your Wang family."
Lord Duanhun Shenjun was worried that the two of them would quarrel and ruin their harmony.
He quickly came out to smooth things over: "Fellow Daoist Wang, it's probably not aimless. I don't know why you say that?"
Earth Splitter God Lord's life is short, and he has lost his beloved disciple. It is human nature to have a bad temper, and Wang Daoyuan has no intention of arguing with him.
"The Qizhen Island is run like an iron barrel by the Blood Shark Pirates. We are on the offensive side, so the expedition will cost more.
The blood shark thieves' high-level combat power is only slightly inferior to ours, and they also have such a big killer weapon as the golden furnace.
Even if we meet on the vast sea, we are not completely sure of winning.
Fellow Taoists, think about it, if we start a war on Qizhen Island, do we have the slightest chance of winning?"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
If we were to go head-to-head on Qizhen Island, there really would be no chance of winning.
Lord Tian Gong said helplessly: "Friend Wang Dao is right. Even in the open sea, the blood shark pirates cannot take advantage of the geographical advantages, and we do not have a complete chance of winning.
If you are near Qizhen Island, the opponent's monks in the early stages of becoming gods can use the formation to exert their combat power in the middle and late stages of becoming gods.
Under such circumstances, we really have no chance of winning if we go to Qizhen Island."
Lord Earth Splitter also knew that this was something that could not be done: "Are we just going to drag it out like this? Three of our late-stage God Transformation warriors are short of life.
If we continue to consume it, it will be even harder to fight after we die."
Wang Daoyuan shook his head: "Of course we can't just let it go. If the blood shark thieves are given a chance to breathe, they will take the opportunity to raid the surrounding area.
The Blood Shark Pirates' backhand in the Ten Thousand Demons Islands has also been exposed. In the future, the development potential of running the Ten Thousand Demons Islands is no less than that of our Seven Star Alliance.
If it really drags on, it will be a legacy of raising tigers."
"You can't delay it by dragging it, and you can't fight it by fighting it. So what should we do?"
Wang Daoyuan secretly smiled in his heart, the environment here in Qixing Sea is much simpler than that in Beiyuan Immortal Realm.
Without the complicated terrain in Beiyuan, the battles between the various forces are basically based on hard power.
There are very few tactical applications, usually just hiding a few high-end combat forces and suddenly attacking the opponent.
When the kingdoms of the Beiyuan Immortal Realm were competing for hegemony, it was a bit like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the previous life, where all kinds of strategies and tactics could be used.
What's more, Wang Daoyuan also knows some classic battle cases from his previous life.
Wang Daoyuan said directly: "Qizhen Island is like the fist punched by the Blood Shark Thief, most of the Blood Shark Thief's power is concentrated here.
But when the fist is extended, the weakness is exposed.
Let's avoid the real and attack the weak and attack the weak points of the Blood Shark Thieves.
For example, Qingmu Island at the eastern end of the southern sea has many spiritual fields and is an important source of elixirs for the Blood Shark Pirates. It is more than 800,000 miles away from Qizhen Island.
We are attacking Qingmu Island, how do you think the Blood Shark Bandits will react?"
This tactic is to attack the enemy and save it, then encircle the enemy and bring reinforcements.
Aoki Island is very important to the Blood Shark Bandits. Although the island is not very big, with a diameter of only six to seven thousand miles, it is not very big among medium-sized islands.
However, there is a sixth-level medium-grade wood attribute spiritual vein on the island. The entire island is very flat, and the spiritual fields opened up are second to none among medium-sized islands.
The Blood Shark Thieves also attach great importance to Aoki Island, deploying a large number of sixth-level formations and guarding it by an early-stage god-transformation monk.
When the Seven Star Alliance was sweeping the outer sea, they also tried to attack.
But at that time, the Seven Star Alliance's power was all on Qizhen Island, and they could not send enough force to break through the defense of Qingmu Island, so it was nothing.
A monk in the middle stage of divine transformation asked: "What if the Blood Shark Bandits also attack Tianshu Island?"
Earth Splitter God also reacted at this time: "If this is really the case, we will have won without a fight."
Others also agreed, saying that there are sixth-level high-grade or even peak spiritual veins on the seven big islands.
The defensive formations of all the major forces are also of the sixth level, and multiple formations form a defense system.
As long as there are early-stage god-transformation monks in charge, they can easily contain several late-stage god-transformation monks.
If the blood shark thieves dare to come, the geographical advantage will be on the side of the Seven Star Alliance.
Everyone also opened their minds, and Wen Xuanhai smiled and said: "This is a very clever plan. As long as we, the mid- to late-stage god-transformation monks, don't show up at the same time, the blood shark thieves will worry that we will attack Qizhen Island.
Even if you want to rescue Qingmu Island, you don't dare to send all the god-transforming monks there.
If we don't send out the God Transformation monks, we will wipe out Qingmu Island, and then attack Turtle Island and Xuanlin Island to the west.
If we send out the cultivators of the Transformation of Gods, we will attack the few with more and keep them all."
Earth Splitter God became excited now: "When we attack Aoki Island, I must participate.
I must kill a few of the Blood Shark Bandits’ beasts to avenge my iron-armed disciples.”
Soul-Destroying Lord asked: "Fellow Daoist Wang, how many people should we send to attack Qingmu Island?"
Wang Daoyuan did not answer directly, but asked: "On Qingmu Island, can I communicate freely with Tianshu Island?"
Lord Tian Gong replied: "That's no problem. There are several small islands within tens of thousands of miles northeast of Qingmu Island that we have occupied.
There is also a communication array we have deployed on the seabed, so there will be absolutely no problem in sending messages."
Wang Daoyuan nodded: "All the combat forces in the late stages of divine transformation will go. On Tianshu Island, just leave the early stages of divine transformation and the two mid-stage divine transformation forces. Everyone else will go to Qingmu Island.
If the blood shark pirates dare to take risks and try to lose Qizhen Island, we will be caught off guard on Qingmu Island.
If there are less people there, blood sharks may take advantage of us.
Since we have decided to attack Aoki Island, we must be prepared to annihilate all the blood shark stealing god monks on Aoki Island."
Baibao Shenjun repeatedly praised: "This strategy is indeed good. There are not enough blood sharks to steal the warships and monks, so they dare not go to Tianshu Island to fight us head-on.
And our Seven Star Alliance's industries are basically on the big island.
Even the blood shark thieves have no ability to take down our weak points.
All the combat power in the late stage of becoming gods has been brought out, and the blood shark thieves don't dare to do anything to us.
If we use this move on Qingmu Island, the Blood Shark Thief will either suffer a loss or lose the cultivator of the Transformation God."
