"I do not lack this little bit of Mana."

Shen Wang spoke indifferently.

Celestial Cloud True Monarch wisely ceased the topic and turned to say, "Fellow Daoist Wu Xing, this Main Vein is our last stronghold, when the time comes, we still need your assistance."

"Let's talk about it once they've broken through the Array."

Shen Wang remained noncommittal.

Celestial Cloud True Monarch secretly cursed the old fox and wisely said no more, turning to make arrangements.

In the upcoming battles, these sect leaders must personally take action. Their strategies against the enemy require careful consideration, because their trump cards are dwindling.

While Celestial Cloud True Monarch and others observed the movements of the Demon Beast army, Shen Wang secretly monitored the actions of the Celestial Travel Sect's leaders.

Since his arrival, the Nascent Soul Cultivators here rarely made an appearance. The rare occasions when they took action were directed at him, giving Shen Wang reason to suspect that these leaders didn't want to fight to the death against the Demon Beast army, meaning they wouldn't hold this place to the end.

"They must have considered retreat; need to guard against being used as a rearguard."

Shen Wang looked afar. Now that the second line of defense was lost, the Celestial Travel Sect essentially lost the means to fight the Demon Beast army.

The Eight Meridians area used to be a hundred times larger, producing basic food and medicinal herbs, preventing starvation.

The Array area was vast, absorbing a large range of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, barely maintaining the cultivators' fundamental consumption, all of which is gone now.

"The Eight Meridians are the foundation of the overall Array. Now that it's broken, I feel some changes."

Shen Wang closely monitored the entire situation's changes, not just the Demon Beast army outside, but also the movements within the Celestial Travel Sect.

During this time, his control over the Array improved further; apart from the core region, he controlled every move in other locations.

Before long, with the Arrays collapsing everywhere, the Main Vein's Array was affected, causing intense vibrations.

Shen Wang suddenly detected a surge of Demonic Qi emanating from below the Main Vein. This Qi was subtle and isolated by the Array upon appearing.

If not for Shen Wang's hidden control over more arrays and monitoring these places with thoughts, he might not have discovered it.

"Again with the Demonic Qi; it seems the Demonic Qi is beneath the Main Vein."

Thinking of something, a glint appeared in his eyes.

"I understand now; this sect's Array is originally a sealing formation..."

Shen Wang looked down at the Main Vein. Earlier, he had been searching for the source of the Demonic Qi and suspected it was at the Main Vein. Now it's confirmed.

The source of Demonic Qi requiring such a large array to suppress must certainly be larger than the Demon Cave at the Shen Family's ancestral residence.

"If one were to establish a Demon Country here, it's not a great place. Once Demonic Qi leaks, few can absorb it here."

Shen Wang couldn't quite comprehend whether the Wolf Venerable was unaware of the Demon Cave here or purposes it specifically for the Demonic Qi.

His heart skipped, then he shook his head, finding it unlikely, since Demonic Qi is inherently poison to beings of this world.

Celestial Cloud True Monarch entered the hall and asked Cyan Leaf, "Are you ready?"

"Ready, but are we really going to do this?"

"If we don't, it'll be too difficult to get away when the time comes."

"Alas, pressed too tightly from outside, some stand by idly."

"Don't overthink, the Celestial Travel Sect's legacy must not be severed."

Dong!

A deep bell toll interrupted their conversation.

Outside the Main Vein, a figure emitting black flames appeared. Its formidable aura made the warning bell on the mountaintop vibrate violently, the sound echoing nonstop.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Each Demon Emperor followed, releasing potent pressure, causing many to change their faces.

"The Demon Venerable has shown up again!"

"Are they launching a full-scale attack now?"

The Elders of each vein wore solemn expressions, steadily locking onto these Demon Race powerhouses.

As Shen Wang thought these figures were about to make a move, they remained suspended in the air, coldly overlooking everyone, causing significant psychological pressure.

Even after a long wait, they did not act; Shen Wang secretly cursed their cunning, coming purely to apply psychological pressure, more skilled at heart attacks than humans.

Numerous Demon Beast armies pressed in, enclosing them in shadows, then began digesting food on the spot, surrounding without attacking.

Though they did not attack, many in the Main Vein dared not relax, forced to expend energy in vigilance against the Demon Race army, activating all arrays in full status.

Celestial Cloud True Monarch stepped out, seeing Wolf Venerable's intentions, led to block their imposing presence and coldly said, "Only you can intimidate?"

He triggered some technique: "In this case, let's show you the foundation of our Celestial Travel Sect!"

Zheng!

A chiming sound, the Celestial Palace shook violently, as if something was about to burst forth.

The next moment, under everyone's gaze, white light shot to the sky, a pillar-like Sword Qi pierced the cloud, illuminating all directions.

A terrifying sharpness quickly spread, causing everyone to feel cold, as if a sword hung above their heads. It made hearts tremble, souls shake.

Many forgot the threat of the Demon Beasts outside, turning their attention to the light pillar, and those aware of some circumstances showed excitement.

The white pillar connected heaven and earth, causing weather changes and Spiritual Qi turmoil, carrying mighty righteousness far beyond Nascent Soul level strength.

The Sword Intent within the Sword Qi broke the pressure from the Wolf Venerable and other Demon Race powerhouses, stabilizing some people's frightened hearts.

Shen Wang glanced aside, his gaze fixed on the palace within, sensing a mighty aura, surpassing ordinary Magical Treasures, as if about to pierce the sky.

Spiritual Artifact?

Shen Wang's eyes wavered, "This aura is unlike any typical Spiritual Artifact, not inferior to my Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror."

He discerned the level of this thing, it should be one of Celestial Travel Sect's foundations.

Inside the light pillar, magic patterns transformed into an Eight Trigrams Map. In the central area, space distorted, a jade-colored long sword slowly emerged.

Its surface densely covered with Spirit Patterns, seemingly alive, emitting light. Sword Qi across all directions, effortlessly suppressing Golden Core Cultivators.

Shen Wang saw for the first time a second complete Spiritual Artifact besides the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror.

"The Spirit Sword has been born; we're not afraid of these beasts."

"The Celestial Sword traverses heaven and earth; it will surely slay demons and banish evil!"

Many Celestial Travel Sect leaders regained confidence, fervently watching the sect's trump card, the sect's Spirit Sword, the Celestial Sword!

This is a Spiritual Weapon, wielded by Great Power Cultivators beyond Nascent Soul, with power shaking the world.

Whenever the sword is unsheathed, it clears away troubles.

They trust this time will be the same.

Wolf Venerable's eyes slightly narrowed, his face filled with wariness, staring at the Spirit Sword and sneered, "Nice sword, but a sword alone is not enough; someone needs to wield it!"

The sword is indeed sharp, but merely that, without Divinity Transformation Cultivators, he's not afraid at all.

"We'll see if you're afraid to die."

Celestial Cloud True Monarch spoke coldly, did nothing more, letting the Celestial Sword float and release Sword Qi, intimidating Demon Race strongmen, offsetting the psychological pressure they brought, preventing their side's people from mental collapse.
