After a series of messages were sent out, the Golden Core Cultivators stationed at the Seven Sects Alliance Headquarters finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It was only then that they finally had the opportunity to probe their Divine Thoughts and communicate with each other:

"I never thought that Qingxu and Nether Abyss could actually break out from the deepest layers of Mo Yuan!"

"Indeed, after so many years, everyone thought they had long since perished below."

"To actually break through the third layer of the Magnetic Barrier, whether it was a breakthrough in their Cultivation in those deepest layers or some other fortuitous encounter, is unknown..."

"In any case, these two are certainly enemies, not allies; everyone must not let their guard down!"

Just as everyone was intensely exchanging their Divine Thoughts:

"Fellow Daoists, the call for help has been sent, and reinforcements should arrive soon."

From the Chentian Sect, an Elder, in an unyielding posture of leadership, issued orders via Divine Thought:

"However, those two may very well break out of Mo Yuan within half an hour."

"During the period of holding the fort and awaiting reinforcements, we cannot remain idle; besides gathering disciples and fully operating the Array, we must also come up with feasible strategies, including contingency plans..."

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of several Golden Core Cultivators varied, with some already furrowing their brows.

Over the past decade or so, the seven sects and Noble Families that had relocated to Da Mo had all made significant progress, relying on the treasured land of Mo Yuan, but Chentian Sect remained the one that benefited the most.

As of today, their influence within the alliance has grown larger and larger, secretly causing discontent among some sects and Noble Families, and tensions have gradually accumulated.

But at this critical moment with a formidable enemy before them, everyone endured.

"Elder Wei."

After he finished speaking, an Elder from the ’Changluo Xu Clan’ spoke up:

"Not to overestimate others and underestimate ourselves."

"But those two have a significant reputation. Nether Abyss Ancestor was a Late stage Golden Core Powerhouse before entering Mo Yuan, and Elder Qingxu is also as powerful as a Late stage Golden Core Cultivator."

"Not to mention, them being able to break the third layer of the Magnetic Barrier reveals a profound and unfathomable no less power. We lack the manpower to stop or entangle them!"

As soon as the Divine Thought was transmitted, a Golden Core Cultivator agreed:

"Elder Xu is right."

"We seven Golden Core Cultivators don’t even have a Late stage Golden Core Powerhouse; the headquarters’ array is hardly reliable, making it extremely difficult to stop them!"

The Seven Sects Alliance is wealthy and well-connected; the headquarters’ array was indeed established by a Level four Array Grandmaster from the Celestial Continent.

A Fourth grade Array is enough to connect the landscape for over a thousand miles. Its strength is naturally unquestionable as long as there are enough Golden Core Cultivators stationed within; even an attack by a Lord Nascent Soul could be resisted for a time.

But the problem is, this array is forward-facing, not inward-facing.

Because of the Black Tide’s periodic eruptions, the array was not designed or constructed with internal defenses in mind; instead, it focused on the rapid closure and disciple relocation control hub in critical moments.

The internal obstruction might trap a general Late stage Golden Core Powerhouse, but no one believes it could trap the two formidable foes, Qingxu and Nether Abyss!

"What Elder Xu said, I naturally thought of long ago."

The Elder from the Chentian Sect revealed a hint of confidence in his tone:

"Regardless of what fortune they have had in the deepest layers, breaking through the third layer of the Magnetic Barrier must have greatly exhausted them."

"If they are indeed eager to escape, rushing out from Mo Yuan, then that is our chance."

"And if they act cautiously and restore their strength first, it also gives us time to mobilize and gather power!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

It is hard to blame them, as the shocking news of the third layer of the Magnetic Barrier being shattered had thrown them into turmoil, making them dread Elder Qingxu and Nether Abyss Ancestor excessively, to the point of hidden fear and panic.

It is worth noting that the Seven Sects Alliance had not attempted to continue exploring the deepest layers without trying before, but over twenty Golden Core Cultivators combined were unable to break through that layer of the Magnetic Barrier!

It was not that their combined strength was insufficient, but that the forces, when concentrated, were dispersed and neutralized upon hitting the Magnetic Barrier, ultimately barely shaking it and leaving them awestruck.

Yet what they couldn’t achieve together, Qingxu and Nether Abyss managed, so how could they not be terrified?

It wasn’t until Elder Wei of the Chentian Sect pointed out this mentality that everyone finally understood—

No matter what progress those two have made in their Cultivation or what methods they rely on, as long as they haven’t broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, they must have paid a great price!

"Elder Wei is truly spot on..."

The numerous Golden Core Cultivators’ thoughts spun rapidly, and the apprehension and fear in their hearts were greatly alleviated.

Furthermore, someone seized the key point and tentatively asked:

"Elder Wei, since they’ve greatly exhausted themselves and their strength has diminished, should we take the initiative and seize the chance?"

Who would have thought that as soon as these words were transmitted via Divine Thought, several Golden Core Cultivators opposed it:

"That suggestion is inadvisable!"

"The risk of going on the offensive is too great; how do we know what choices they’ll make? If they bide their time below, we’ll likely suffer!"

"Yes, it’s better to hold our ground and wait for reinforcements! Taking the initiative means abandoning our remaining geographical advantage!"
