It’s just the Celestial Net Dharma Boat, its aura vast as the sea, isolating the eyes of the crowd, making it difficult for anyone to clearly see how many Golden Core cultivators are actually seated within.

And beneath the Celestial Net Dharma Boat lie three Flying Smoke Dharma Boats.

This Dharma Boat is specifically designed for conquest, composed of two layers. The first layer can accommodate over a thousand Qi Refining Disciples, while the second layer contains forty-nine Spirit Discs, able to host up to forty-nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Forty-nine Foundation Establishment cultivators, combined with this boat, possess might as vast as mountains, delaying even Golden Core cultivators for several days. It is a formidable weapon of the Daoist School, seldom deployed lightly.

However, at this moment, the Daoist School has already set the strategy for conquest. On the three Dharma Boats are cultivators of different realms within Foundation Establishment Three Turns, led by a late-stage Foundation Establishment to steer the Dharma Boat.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

As the bell rings, rays of light stream from all directions, descending into respective Dharma Boats based on cultivation levels.

When Ma Wu and others arrived, on the second layer of the first Dharma Boat, over twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators were already seated cross-legged on Spirit Discs, all possessing early stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

And in the upper seat of the Dharma Boat, there sat an old man with hair and beard all white, with what seemed like golden light flickering in his eyes.

His aura was extremely profound, strands of hair seemed to spill gold light, radiantly shining. He had remarkably reached the peak of late-stage Foundation Establishment, touching upon a hint of Gold-Attribute.

Yet this step is as hard as climbing to heaven, countless cultivators have perished in the striving.

At this time, the old man sat cross-legged in silence, eyes closed.

When Ma Wu and others arrived, he did not even cast them a glance.

But Ma Wu and his group dared not show disrespect, respectfully bowed, and then found a corner to sit down.

Subsequently, more Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived, yet the old man kept his eyes shut.

Even Bian Chuyao, Feng Anping, Ji Mobai, and other disciples from Noble Families were not given a look.

It was only when disciples from Yingyue Peak arrived, that he opened his eyes to take a glance.

The Yingyue Peak disciples instantly respectfully saluted, with joy evident on their faces.

On the Dharma Boat, everyone’s expressions varied.

Evidently, this old man was an elder from Yingyue Peak, and Yingyue Peak clearly had already seized the advantage this time.

As time went by, the number on the Dharma Boat steadily increased.

The forty-nine seats were nearly all filled.

And most notably, was the Su Family, occupying eight seats alone, forming a separate force.

Besides, Ma Wu and his companions were also quite conspicuous, five seated together.

However, noticing their unstable aura, many cultivators present coldly sneered and paid no further attention.

"The hour approaches. Missing the conquest will result in being handled according to the Daoist Academy Decree!"

The old man’s gaze was sharp as electricity as he looked at the two absent seats beside Ma Wu and his group, speaking coldly.

Ma Wu and his companions immediately showed signs of tension.

They had originally intended to travel to Earth Flame Island with Gu Yuan, yet unexpectedly, Gu Yuan was no longer on Earth Flame Island, his whereabouts unknown.

Seeing that he still had not arrived, a sense of panic arose within them.

Their breakthrough into Foundation Establishment was too recent, they currently lacked sufficient handy spiritual artifacts. Without Gu Yuan, they feared this venture might not yield any success, or they might even face the risk of perishing.

"Swish!"

At that moment, a golden light swiftly arrived and settled on the flying boat.

A white escape light followed closely behind, gracefully arriving.

"Quickly take your seats!"

The old man waved his large sleeve, urging.

Gu Yuan and Jiang Ningxue bowed to the old man, then took seats on Spirit Discs beside Ma Wu and his group.

With all forty-nine Foundation Establishment cultivators present, the restrictions on the Dharma Boat suddenly shone brightly, cold and stern, as a thick spiritual mechanism descended, enveloping the entire Dharma Boat.

In the first layer of the Dharma Boat, numerous Qi Refining Disciples nervously watched as the Dharma Boat slowly swayed below, transforming into streaks of light, shooting rapidly towards the distance.

The expedition on Red Moon River has finally begun.
