Chapter 244: Cold Mist Camp
The vegetation was sparse, and wild beasts had disappeared.
Countless ordinary beings perished in the war of the immortal cultivators, reduced to ashes.
In some inconspicuous corners, remnants of animals could still be seen.
The natural ecosystem had been forcibly altered, and the lower species had to leave their homes to survive.
The law of the jungle, where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, was vividly displayed!
On this land that had been "cleaned," camps formed by small wooden houses were rooted, divided into five large encampments occupying the five corners of the "emptied land."
There was a distance of two to three zhang between each wooden house; the further out the houses were, the more rudimentary and cramped they appeared, while those closer to the center were more ornate and spacious.
The largest house in the center of the camp covered an area of about ten zhang, exuding a solemn and grand atmosphere.
A large flag was hoisted on the roof, bearing the insignia of the various sects.
Walls of different colors and styles, adorned with various runes, surrounded the wooden houses, reinforced by powerful formations that created a faint light shield to protect the walls within.
It had evidently become a small fortress!
Teams of allied cultivators patrolled the camp with resolute and cold expressions, and if they discovered any suspicious activities, blood was likely to spill on the spot.
Although the camp did not reach the level of having sentries every three steps or posts every ten steps, it was not far off; with the cultivators' spiritual consciousness, they ensured that there were no blind spots.
The overall layout of the five camps was similar, with only minor differences in detail, and there was at least a distance of over ten miles between each.
In the camp directly to the south, a flag depicted a cluster of burning deep red flames, the symbol of the Yuan Yang Sect.
A square hole copper coin magical treasure flew above this camp, stopping instantly before slowly descending to the ground before the camp.
It showed no signs of inertia, demonstrating the profound cultivation of its owner and their precise control over magical power and artifacts.
Liu Yu, along with the foundation establishment cultivators in Cold Moon City, knew a bit about the Cold Mist Camp and understood they had arrived at their sect’s large camp.
Without needing to say more, numerous foundation establishment cultivators leaped from the magical treasure and stood in place, waiting for the Golden Core Elder's orders.
Liu Yu constantly surveyed his surroundings, taking everything in.
He noticed that merely ten miles away from their sect's camp was a camp of comparable scale, with a flag depicting a slender, exquisite sword that still radiated sharpness despite lacking a blade tip.
"Crescent Moon Valley?" Liu Yu thought to himself.
In Crescent Moon Valley, sword cultivators accounted for about half of the population, forging their life-bound swords and pursuing the philosophy of "one sword breaking ten thousand laws."
The Yuan Yang Sect and Crescent Moon Valley had always been allies, and it was normal for them to be in proximity for mutual support.
Elder Yan landed before Liu Yu and the others; after he landed, the copper coin magical treasure swiftly shrank in an instant, reducing to the size of an inch and landing in Elder Yan's palm, which was then placed into a storage ring.
It was clear that this was not a life-bound magical treasure, as it had not been cultivated within his body; its primary purpose was to transport Liu Yu and the other foundation establishment cultivators.
Because Golden Core cultivators have the magical power to escape the gravity of the world, they do not need to rely on magical artifacts and can fly unaided by their physical bodies.
Due to the war, many foundation establishment cultivators from Moonlit City had seen Elder Yan a few times.
Such a massive artifact and commotion naturally attracted the attention of the cultivators in the camp, and soon a foundation establishment cultivator emerged.
