After learning about the players' great victory by the seaside, some players also wanted to check on the Sea Race's situation. After all, the Sea Race was definitely a major plotline. Currently, players knew too little about the Sea Race. They only knew that the Sea Race had Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, along with the White Seahorse Military Advisor, but these were only the ones that had appeared in their region. To cope with this upcoming major plotline, players had started making preparations early.

Daytime Alms was invited over by A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice and his group. The members of the Construction Team were all Earth Element Players, fully capable of handling the current situation. The problem now was, how large a dam should they build? Moreover, the internal structure of the dam also needed to be planned in advance; the construction itself could be handled by their Construction Team.

For this purpose, Dung Beetle and the others had specially prepared a temporary command post, specifically to gather intelligence on the Sea Race. *Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without peril.* Players understood at least some of this philosophy. However, the current command post wasn't crowded with players; it was entirely managed by the military advisors from the various Halls.

Chaotic Dance Steps from Cloud Lament.

Neighbor Six from Lingxiao Hall.

Drunken Poisoning from the Second Legion.

Iron-blooded War Hero from the War Alliance.

Big Plate Chicken from Celestial Realm.

"First, we need to design the dam's structure. The simplest method is for Earth Element Players to directly use their magic to construct it," one suggested.

"No, this is a sandy beach. A dam built here would easily collapse," another countered.

"Then let's retreat a bit and use Hailong Town as the main site, then expand outwards from there."

"That method won't work either. Once the dam is opened to release floodwaters, Hailong Town will definitely be the first to be submerged. We have to find a way to build it further out."

...

A group of people was arguing heatedly.

After hesitating for a moment, Drunken Poisoning said in a deep voice, "Then let the Metal Element players take action. How about we directly lay a layer of iron sheets on the beach and then build our dam on top of those iron sheets?"

"What about managing the floodwater? It would still rush over here," Iron-blooded War Hero shook his head. Players, though not afraid of death, knew it was a poor trade to be directly washed away by the waves.

Laying iron sheets was feasible. The Profound Yellow Sect had plenty of iron. If it wasn't enough, they would simply go mining for more. The only trouble was the dam's construction. Building with magic was certainly good, but to create a perfect dam, someone needed to design a perfect blueprint. The Construction Team had to build it according to the dam's blueprint.

"We're just wasting our breath arguing here. Why don't we go offline and find an architect to help us with the design? After all, we aren't short on money," someone proposed.

Drunken Poisoning spoke up, "There's plenty of time. As long as we can get the construction blueprint as soon as possible, the dam can be built in at most a day."

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

"I'll find someone offline," said Chaotic Dance Steps in a serious tone. "I happen to be near Demon City University, so I'll go find a professor from the architecture department. We can split the cost among our groups. What does everyone think?"

Iron-blooded War Hero nodded in agreement. "Then it's up to you; it's not convenient for me to make contact from my end. Other players should search for iron ore within the Daqian Territory. We must ensure there is enough steel. Array Mages also need to speed up; the dam will require their arrays for reinforcement."

Once they had made a decision, they immediately sprang into action. There was no doubting the players' ability to get things done. As long as they were willing, they could even build the Great Wall. For this major plotline involving the Sea Race, they were truly going all out.

「Meanwhile」

The situation was challenging for the Celestial Splendor Sect. The invasion by the Sea Race was undoubtedly a fatal disaster for them. They faced not only Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals but also far stronger entities. Even Sea Race experts at the Divinity Transformation Stage had made appearances. As a result, the people of the Celestial Splendor Sect felt immense pressure.

Compared to the Profound Yellow Sect's methodical preparations, the people of the Celestial Splendor Sect were giving their all. They searched vigorously for Array Mages, even contacting the Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect. With the help of everyone from the Great Dream Immortal Sect, their Defense Array was finally enhanced. But the cost was painfully high for them.

Sect Leader Sun, looking up at the Defense Array overhead, asked solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, do you think this array can stop the advance of the Sea Race?"

"Difficult! Very difficult!" The Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect shook his head. "We've had too few encounters with the Sea Race, and it's unclear how strong they truly are. But based on what you've described, it will be very difficult for the Celestial Splendor Sect alone to withstand them, unless some miracle occurs."

A miracle? Sect Leader Sun thought. What kind of miracle could possibly occur now? The Celestial Splendor Sect was already prepared for death. If the Sea Race managed to conquer them, the Celestial Splendor Sect would become a laughingstock in the Northern Wilderness. Thus, this matter remained a difficult problem for them.

"By the way, did you mention that your Celestial Splendor Sect isn't the only one facing the Sea Race's attack?" the Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect asked curiously.

Sect Leader Sun nodded. "There's also the Profound Yellow Sect. I heard from Ruyan that you've met them too."

The Profound Yellow Sect? the Fifth Elder mused. The faction that possessed peculiar magic? He remembered the Profound Yellow Sect disciples who had constructed that Great Wall in the Demon Beast Forest. He couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and wonder. Such unusual magic, if taken outside for trade, could probably be exchanged for many valuable things. What a pity. The Profound Yellow Sect also has to face the Sea Race this time; it's uncertain whether they can hold on. The danger of the Sea Race is far greater than outsiders imagine.

"Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you could stay and help us?" Sect Leader Sun asked helplessly. "I hope that, considering we are all part of the Human Race, the members of the Great Dream Immortal Sect might lend a hand."

Watching Sect Leader Sun's sincere demeanor, the Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect hesitated. We've been searching for Luo Yuan in the Northern Wilderness for so long with no trace of him. Some disciples even suspect he's already dead. But the Sect Leader of the Great Dream Immortal Sect sent word that Luo Yuan's life lamp is still lit, indicating he hasn't died. He must still be in the Northern Wilderness. In this vast Northern Wilderness, finding one person isn't easy. Moreover, Luo Yuan probably knows he caused trouble and might be intentionally hiding. Looking for someone? We definitely wouldn't find him anytime soon.

"Alright," the Fifth Elder said gravely after a moment. "We won't find that renegade disciple anytime soon anyway. Let's stay and help the people of the Celestial Splendor Sect. I also want to see just how formidable these rumored Sea Race people are!"

"Thank you!" Sect Leader Sun expressed his gratitude. "On behalf of the entire Celestial Splendor Sect, I thank all members of the Great Dream Immortal Sect for their assistance. Should you ever need it, the Celestial Splendor Sect will not hesitate to reciprocate!"

With the help of the Great Dream Immortal Sect, the people of the Celestial Splendor Sect felt a surge of confidence. This was the foremost sect of the Southern Continent, a sect that had produced immortals! Any sect that could include the word 'immortal' in its name was undeniably a top-tier power. Their heritage was far beyond what the Celestial Splendor Sect could compare to.

"Sect Leader, there's news from the Profound Yellow Sect!" A disciple hurriedly ran over and delivered the latest message.

While the Celestial Splendor Sect was preparing for the Sea Race's invasion, they were also investigating the mysterious faction known as the Profound Yellow Sect. Sect Leader Sun took the message and frowned as he read it.

The Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect, also curious, asked, "What's the news about the Profound Yellow Sect?"

Sect Leader Sun said somberly, "All their members in the Demon Beast Forest have disappeared. In the past, there were many of their disciples in the Demon Beast Forest, but now not a single one remains. They must all be preparing for the Sea Race invasion."

This faction is too mysterious, and the information we have is very scarce, Sect Leader Sun thought. Therefore, to get more specific news about the Profound Yellow Sect, we might need to find another way. However, with the Sea Race invasion imminent, the Profound Yellow Sect is probably overwhelmed as well.

The Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect, on the other hand, maintained a calm expression. He was very curious about this Profound Yellow Sect. However, he only knew that this faction was located in the Demon Beast Forest, near the Endless Sea. They are definitely caught in the middle. Their geographical location isn't very favorable. However, they are a faction capable of creating miracles. During this Sea Race invasion, the powerful experts should all be with the Celestial Splendor Sect. The Profound Yellow Sect... they should be able to survive.

"Other than some places where spiritual qi is sparse, the Northern Wilderness is still quite good," the Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect randomly mentioned.

Sect Leader Sun was somewhat baffled but only managed to nod slightly.

...

「Inside the Profound Yellow Sect.」

The Blood Demoness, who had been in seclusion, also emerged at this time. From the initial Qi Cultivation Realm, she had broken through to the Golden Core Realm in one go. This was all thanks to the rich spiritual qi within the Profound Yellow Sect. The moment the Blood Demoness came out of seclusion, Xu Nian had already sensed it. He immediately left the Great Hall to welcome her.

Luo Yuan was at a table, studying the acupuncture books given to him by Profound Yellow Sect disciples. He was also somewhat curious. He had long heard that there was a woman in seclusion within the Profound Yellow Sect, and this woman was the former Sect Leader of the Blood Demon Sect. What he didn't know was that Xu Nian had already subdued this Sect Leader of the Blood Demon Sect. Furthermore, Luo Yuan had not yet met her.

Just as he looked up, Xu Nian walked in, holding the Blood Demoness's hand. The two of them were acting affectionately, stunning Luo Yuan where he stood.

Good heavens! Luo Yuan thought. Are they doing this just to mess with me?

"I'm saying, there are other people here!" Luo Yuan said, his face dark.

The Blood Demoness also noticed Luo Yuan leaning on the desk. Sensing his powerful aura, she couldn't help but be a bit surprised. Who is this person? she wondered. Could he also be a member of our Profound Yellow Sect?

Xu Nian ignored Luo Yuan and personally poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for the Blood Demoness. "You've been in seclusion for so long, you must be hungry. I've already asked Little Boss to start cooking. This time, it's spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables we grew ourselves. It's really beneficial for your body!"

Xu Nian sat beside her, saying, "You've had this Spiritual Tea before; you know its effects. Drink more of it in the future. If there's not enough, I'll have Antarctic get some more."

The Blood Demoness smiled charmingly, her allure fully evident.

Luo Yuan, his face terrifyingly dark, glared at Xu Nian with resentment. Is this guy specifically trying to mess with me? The previous Heavenly Dao Oath already prevented me from returning to my sect. And now he's parading this woman in front of me, flaunting their affection. It's as if he desperately wants everyone to know he has a wife! What kind of stunt is this? If Luo Chenjun knew his opponent was such a person, he'd probably laugh himself awake! No, wait! It seems in Luo Chenjun's eyes, the Profound Yellow Sect isn't even his rival! Wait. This Blood Demoness... something seems off about her!

"TSK, TSK. A Flower Charm Body, a natural-born cultivation cauldron," Luo Yuan remarked.

He narrowed his eyes, staring at the Blood Demoness, then said to Xu Nian, "I was wondering why you were so affectionate. So, it's because you have a cultivation cauldron right beside you, eh?"
