Contrary to serene expression Cole had outside, his mental status was the exact opposite of it!

And that was because he was more than surprised after he reads the status of Groot, Bell and Pis-ces!

After all, among the three of them, only Bell had the lowest potential and that was even [Holy]! Eventhough Pis-ces only had [Emperor] potential as of now, he knew that they'll become [Divine] after they absorb enough sun and moon energy.

He can't help but be more amazed by the powerful [Immortal Purity True Phoenix Flame] he just acquired!

If not because he's busy and can't spare more time, he love to check the status of his other contracted creatures too!

Sadly, he can't focus on another thing lest he missed some important happening in the battlefield.

After a minute of checking the status of his pets inside his Sea of Consciousness, he open his eyes again and gave the three creatures he summoned a glance.

Bell floats in the air and use her skill [Void Bell]. Its ring soothes and heal the soul injury of their allies while damage those who are outside. This time, he knew why those corpse puppet plops down on the ground and lose control the moment the bell rings, and that was because Bell becomes a Tier-5 Elemental Spirit already!

Definitely, not those normal disciples of Corpse Refining Sect who had strength of Nascent Soul-Stage can endure her sound attacks now.

Pis-ces now becomes scarier. With its name, he can't help but think that among his contracted pets, only Blue can face them off in elemental battle!

On the other hand, if not because they saw Cole summon Groot, his allies might have attack the latter. Well, it can't be blame on them since Cole also think that the blood tree appearance of Groot is very scary.

However, he knew that Groot's appearance can be only be categorized as extreme opposites. Its very ugly appearance was its persona of good while that beautiful temptress was actually its evil side.

If ignorant people choose who to approach between the two, they'll definitely go towards the seductive woman instead of the bloody tree. However, should that happen, then they shall ready to die!

Fortunately, after his side saw that Groot help to heal their allies, they look at the latter in different light, specially those people who had having a hard time on having their blood flow in reverse.

Several minutes later, the battle was now siding on the righteous path cultivators. One won't need to be a genius to tell that the arrival of Cole change that.

And that was mainly cause by Bell's huge Area-of-Effect skill [Void Bell].

Then, what would happen after the Master itself along with the healed disciples join the frey?

The demonic disciples can't help but scrunched their face in annoyance after thinking that.

Should they fall back now and gave the other side time to recover themselves, then they will only face one outcome; being hunted. After all, most of their recovery pills and items was stored inside their spatial ring. Without it, and just recover naturally, recovery will become very slow. This means that they won't be suitable to prolong battle, specially now that they learn that the other side had a tamer that can summon spirits that can use, or even specializes, in healing.

Unlike using pills or medicinal herbs for recovery, spirits only needs to recover their spiritual energy and they could heal others again unlike the former that needs complicated process and long time to mature.

The sickly man who summon the Peak Tier-8 Seductive Corpse Puppet gnashed his teeth in annoyance before he face someone who had the same status as him, and luckily, the two was near him.

"We need to call the leaders..." He said with dark expression and annoyed tone when he remember how unreliable that leader was. When he said this, he mostly pertains with the leader of the other two sect, the leader from Poltergeist Cult and Blood Demon's Creed.

The other two gave Cole and his pets a glance before they nodded their head.

"We really to call them and the others for reinforcements." The paled face lady from Poltergeist Cult answered.

Majority of the disciples from three demonic sect was left behind to grind the barrier raised by Gu Xi and his fellow buddhist monk cultivators. Meanwhile, the leaders left temporarily to hunt those beasts from Holy Beast Mountain, specifically the bird who rumored to had a thick bloodline of Vermillion Bird.

The latter's fire was very effective on the three sect practitioners. Her Vermillion Bird Fire, though a little inferior, could still burn ghost in just a touch, could burn the Corpse-Energy along with Corpse Puppet and could also evaporate blood. All in all, that Vermillion Phoenix was the second most troublesome opponent from the righteous path cultivators. They had to stop her from meeting Gu Xi and cooperates with him.

Furthermore, they could even subjugate those beasts to become their slave. If that operation is successful, they could be additional manpower for their side. They could even be used as blood bank for Blood Demon's Creed disciple.

When they gave Cole a glance and their allies that pass out from excessive soul damage done by sound based attacks, the remaining disciples face can't help but darken.

However, when they remember their leader, specially Levi of Poltergeist Cult and the weapon he wields, the Netherworld Ghost Flag, they regain their confidence. As long as he arrived here, he could summon an endless ghost from the flage and attack that light barrier!

The attacks of ghost might get weaken when attacking the light barrier, but what if a million of them attack at the same time? That troublesome light barrier might not even last for a second!

Immediately, they brought out the items that could call their group leaders.

Full of confidence, the paled face lady of Poltergeist Cult brought a some sort of yellow paper. Then, she inject her spiritual energy into it and it immediately flew to the distance.

If Cole could see that, he will know that it was flying at the direction of where he face Levi.

As for the disciple of Corpse Refining Sect, he brought out a circular glass vial which actually contains an ear. He injected his spiritual energy and speak telepathically. The sickly man knew that his message definitely got recieved by the other side but knowing her eccentric nature, she'll won't even care of they all die, much less help them.

While remembering this, the sickly man can't help but gnash his teeth in annoyance and his face darken.

As for the second-in-command disciple of Blood Demon's Creed brought out an blood orb. Like the others, he said his message telepathically, saying that their situation was getting graved. The blood orb churned for a second which indicates that the other side receive his message.

Then, they also joined the battle, pounding the light barrier more aggressively. They were even using their powerful attacks!

The second-in-command of Corpse Refining Sect already use his most powerful corpse puppet. It was a pity that it was being occupied with battling a ghost puppet the other side has. That corpse puppet also can't win since its specialty was corrosion of flesh body which the ghost definitely don't had. If it was a living creatures, perhaps his corpse puppet is already on the winning side.

However, when he remember that they already call their respective leaders, he knew that the odds will side to them again soon specially if Levi arrived here. No matter how powerful the ghost are, they won't stand a chance when faced with the Divine-Rank Netherworld Ghost Flag. Levi might not be able to command a ghost in that level, at least, it will be gone in the equation after it's absorb and sealed inside the flag.

Though it was still a wonder how the so called righteous cultivators had someone who could command ghosts amidst them. Wasn't they're angry with the Poltergeist Cult since they used those yin creatures as their weapon?

It's no wonder their Elders and Grand Elders from their sect always say that righteous cultivators were nothing but hypocrite. When used in their hands, it was demonic but will be called righteous in their hands...

While Cole focus on healing the others, he enter his Sea of Consciousness and ask Baldy, "Why is both Pis-ces and Bell already breakthrough to Tier-5?"

This was one of the question he had in his mind. After all, wasn't a creature needs to face tribulation before he can breakthrough Tier-5 or Void Sensing? He was very sure that both the elemental spirits didn't even face a zap of lightning much less a [Heavenly Tribulation].

"That was the very reason why spirits was dubbed as darling of heaven. It was a inherent nature of spirits to comprehend the truth of Heavens and recieve no punishment from it. Spirits only needs to face tribulation when they try to create an physical vessel, the same as Energy Crystallization when Elemental Spirits breakthrough to Tier-3."

After hearing Baldy's explanation, Cole can't help but think about the Angels and Heaven, or also known as the Paradise, back from Earth. It seems like the Spirits was the same as those angels. They were given access to the Heaven but they should follow the rules lest they want to be punished.

Subconsciously, Cole gave Pis-ces and Bell a glance. Even for him, he can't help but felt a little envy to this inherent characteristic of Spirtits. It was only a pity that it wasn't included in their information given by the [System]. Probably, this was done by the latter so that he can't copy this innate ability through [Soul Mimicry].

Or else, he'll become the very first human who will advance without needing to face the tribulation.

Even him felt very envious of not facing the barrage of lightnings when leveling up to Void Sensing-Stage.

Still, no matter how enviable that special ability, he still won't make himself change into spirit. It was already past his endurance of having bird's blood inside him and even given an ability to lay eggs! He don't want to become a soul only bodyless creature.

He's a human originally and he wants to remain human.

Several moments later, it dawn to Cole how naive his idea of fully healing the injured. It was already a big feat of stabilizing their status but fully healing them is impossible unless he wants to reveal all his secrets.

It was not a exaggeration to say that cultivators would choose of having their arms severed than to recieve a damage tl their souls. Tangible items is much more easier tp recover than intangible like souls.

Bell's sound therapy is very effective but it won't be enough to recover mental damage for a short period of time.

As for those who recovered from the corruption of Corpse-Energy, their affected flesh die afterwards. Not only they need to remove the dead flesh, they even have to regenerate their body to recover.

Those who only got inflicted with Coprse-Energy for a short while was already alright and recovered and could also aid in battle again but not all of them. There were even had half of his body corrupted with Corpse-Energy. If not because of cultivators' strong vitality, he might have been dead already.

Of course, there were severe cases too who've got their blood counter flow. It was either their blood vessels or internal organs heavily damaged. Or even both.

All in all, only half of injured people is ready to battle again. And this already are not bad.

The mental damage was the very hard to heal and followed by the corrupted flesh.

And so, after Cole saw that their situation stabilized, he commanded Bell and Pis-ces to focus those with injured blood vessels and internal organs. This way, he could add manpower more faster for their side.

When Cole open his eyes, he saw that there's three familiar person in front of him.

The first was the cold lady with noble temperament. Back at the ice ship, this lady didn't even spare him a glance.

The second was the burly man that hold a massive broadsword. The broadsword looks scary that it could cut a man in half in just a swing. This man was also no different from the lady back at the ship. In fact, he even show his dissatisfaction clearly to him.

As for the third, it was someone he knew.

It was the leader of the three sects. The leader of Cold Jade Palace, Nine Yang Sect and Five Element Sect, respectively.

They were vastly different this time. Not only the prejudice gaze to him gone, they were also also looking at him with thankful gaze.

Cole smile inwardly. At least, they were not one of those arrogant pricks that don't even felt thankful if someone they considered lower helps them.

"The disciples of Cold Jade Palace are sincerely thankful for healing them. Please receive our heartful gratitude." The leader of Cold Jade Palace said, her cold voice now sounds a little humble. She still sound very noble though.

"The Nine Yang Sect are also thankful for healing my fellow disciple." He said with his gruff voice. He was more on using brute force than using his mind.

Cole was never a prideful person.

With a smile, he answer, "No need for courtesy fellow cultivators. Helping them means saving myself. After all, they could fight again after they were healed."

If Cole said this in other situation, he might've gotten their dissatisfaction as his tone somewhat imply that he'll use the others as tool to save himself. However, it was different this time. They also can't deny the fact that they greatly needs assistance they could get.

In any case, being healed by Cole can already be considered as their second chance. It was only normal they pay for that. If they wanted to truly live for this second chance of life, they had to help on fighting the demonic sects' disciples. It will be all for naught if they'll just waited to be killed.

Everyone's face can't help but darken when they thought of their current situation. Base on flow of things, if there's no miracle happen, they could only wait to be slaughtered after they're weakened.

There was no doubt that Gu Xi was the most powerful out of all of them. However, even with his best state, he can't defeat the demonic sects on his own.

As for the others, although they could resist the main arts of the others, like Nine Yang Sect had high resistance to Corpse-Energy as they cultivate a superior fire-type cultivation method, they can't defeat those lunatics that fights without regards to their own life.

The most troublesome among the three demonic sect was the Blood Demon's Creed. Even if they don't focus on offense, their ability to disrupt blood flow was very deadly in the situation. As long they are present, the probability of righteous side winning is very low.

It was a pity that they were greatly limited as majority of their possession waa sealed inside their spatial storage.

Just by looking at the face of the three sect leaders, Cole could tell that they were not having a good time.

Still, he ask them, "Does our side had some kind of plan already?"

He wants to know whether they come up some kind of plan to help their current predicament.

It was Ryan who respond to him, "Nothing yet. We only hope that the Holy Beast Mountain arrived here. Their little saintess are known to had a trace of Vermillion Bird Bloodline that was very effective to the three demonic sects. Gu Xi and her, along with us three team leaders, can cooperate and our chance of winning will definitely get higher!" He try to makes his tone sound confident but the shakiness can't be hidden by them who had very sensitive hearing.

Cole agreed that what Ryan said was probable since any fire-type attacks are very effective to the three demonic sects and Vermillion Bird are known to be a very superior innate fire.

On the other hand, Gu Xi practice Buddhist Arts and it will definitely be very effective to their enemy.

If the two really cooperate with one another, their chance of survival will become higher.

However, if they only have this plan, Cole could feel that they won't be able to get out of this medicinal garden alive. After all, he already faced Levi he think that those leaders of three demonic sects should be no have vast difference in their strength.

Although he could save himself by hiding inside the [Inner World] or the void through Shelly's [Void Stealth], he only want to resort to this option if he don't had any other choice. He still want to save the others as long as he can.

It was a pity that he can't hide them inside his [Inner World] or else, he'll be hunted by greedy cultivators. His [Continental Shell], on the other hand, house the evolved form of Tree of Life, the Nine-World Elven Ancestral Tree.

However, what the three leaders didn't say was that the Holy Beast Mountain had a problem of their own. Minority of the disciples of three demonic sects separate from the group to hunt those scattered people, specially those beasts. And among those hunters... was the leaders of three demonic sects.

If miracle don't happen, those beasts should be hunted by now... Including Saintess Scarlet.

Cole just nodded and didn't comment on their plan.

Instead, he contemplate for a moment before he raise his head and look at the three people in front of him, "Follow me." He said as he flew towards the formation of monks. They were currently maintaining the giant phantom of golden monk that produce the light barrier that protects them.

Gu Xi was in the middle of the nine other monks and was currently sitting on big golden lotus which was actually a Divine-Rank Equipment called Golden Lotus Throne.

When Cole saw all of its ability, he can't help but be amazed. It was purely a support type and don't even had any offensive skill but he knew that its value won't even fall compare to his Purifying Evil Radiance Orb.

And one of its ability, and one of the reason the light barrier is still sturdy was it could increase the cultivation speed and energy recovery by three times. With it, Gu Xi acts as an battery with endless charge.

Only, he could see that it put a great strain to the user. Gu Xi now had his brows furrowed due to it, probably because of pain.

Cole could tell that the latter was very focused on maintaning the light barrier, however, he knew that he's still aware of his surrounding.

After thinking for a second, he said with straightforward manner, "I want to us to take the initiative and attack the other side."

He decided to consult Gu Xi first since he knew that the latter had more voice to the other sect compare to him. If he agree, the others will most probably agree too to attack.

Much to Cole's surprise, it wasn't Gu Xi who respond to him but the team leader of Nine Yang Sect's disciple.

"Yes, I agree! We must attack them now since their leader is not here yet!" He hollered, not even fearing that the other side heared him.

The leader of Nine Yang Sect look at Cole in different light. At first, he look at the latter with contempt since Cole basically lack all the characteristics of men despite being one. He even carry himself like those pretentious cold woman!

But it all change after Cole said of attacking the other side. For him, or perhaps by all the Nine Yang Sect disciples, dying after fighting is much better than dying without fighting at all!

A much should just attack without thinking of consequences!

"It is true that attacking now is beneficial for us since their leader are currently hunting our scattered members and also the Holy Beast Mountain. We can also use this chance to weaken their forces!" The leader of Cold Jade Palace said her analysis.

Ryan and the other leader nodded their head, agreeing with her.

It was only then Gu Xi said his worry while shaking his head, "We can't. We don't have someone who can face those powerful ghost and corpse puppet."

The barrier produced by the Golden Lotus Throne was very powerful that should those demonic cultivators don't have those Tier-8 and above Ghost and Corpse Puppet, they won't be able to break it even if they were given a whole month. Furthermore, they can't attack continuously for a whole month since they also need to recover.

However, although those Corpse Puppet and Ghost are inferior compare to true Tier-8 and above, the damage they deal is definitely more powerful than those normal disciples. They could only hold out for weeks before they collapse from exhaustion.

And what worried him the most was that the team leader of Poltergeist Cult who seems to hold a Divine-Rank Equipment just like him... If he summon a horde of even just a Peak Tier-4 Vengeful Ghosts, they may not be able to last for a day.

"I will be responsible on stopping them." Cole said.

The others look at Cole for a second before they gave Shiela a glance. It seems that he really have the ability to stop and defeat those powerful ghost and corpse puppet of the other side.

At first, they can't accept the fact that Cole could command a ghost to his bidding and even think that he had something to do with Poltergeist Cult. However, after he show his ability to command even a spirit and sentient plant, can even command a demonic looking tree to heal their allies, they thought that it should only be normal for him to use a ghost too. After all, ghost could be considered a Spirits too.

Only, ghost had a bad reputation and were often associated with Poltergeist Cult.

And seeing that Shiela do looks like playing the Tier-8 Corpse Puppet, they think that they'll be able to defeat those demonic sect disciples.

Furthermore, disciples of Blood Demon's Creed also can't defeat a ghost since they don't have a flesh body much less a blood that they could manipulate and control.

If they stall enough time, they could make the ice ghost to do the killing job!

Including the focused monks, most of the people near the circle nodded their head when they thought of that.

Then, they all look at Gu Xi and wait for his confirmation.

The latter look at Cole for a second before he nods his head, "I'll put down the light barrier a minute later."

What he means is that all of them should get ready for a minute and they will attack!

Ryan and the leader of Cold Jade Palace wore a solemn look while they nodded their heads and flew towards their respective group to inform them of what will happen a minute later.

The phantom monk dim considerably seconds after as Gu Xi and the other nine monk cultivators divide their attention to recover themselves.

The whole Golden Perseverance Temple disciples devoted themselves to maintain the light barrier and that should had consume a huge percentage of their spiritual energy. Although all of them practice flesh cultivation, Cole knew that spiritual energy is still crucial for all of them.

However, if they rely on absorbing the spiritual energy in the surrounding, they won't be able to recover a good amount of it in just a minute.

And not just the monks, the others also needs to recover their spiritual energy specially the disciples of Cold Jade Palace who attacks using ice and that definitely consume a huge amount of spiritual energy.

Since he already started it, it seems that he should also help them on recovering their spiritual energy...

Immediately, he commanded his remaining contracted creatures inside the [Inner World] to to load some Spiritual Stones to Shelly's back.

The Spiritual Stones he acquire from the spiritual mine he found in the Flowerhead Forest, and also from the mines the elves own in their territory, creates a little hill inside the [Inner World].

The concentration of spiritual energy inside the [Inner World] are far more richer and purer than those Spiritual Stones contains. Furthermore, most of them also likes to consume liquefied spiritual liquid near the Messiah Tree since it contains more trace of its unique aura.

Thus, most of the Spiritual Stones are still untouched until now. Even Hunter, the Treasure Hunter Rat, spats the Spiritual Stones it put inside his [Dimensional Storage] not long after.

In addition, due to the rich concentration of spiritual energy inside the [Inner World], those Spiritual Stones passively absorb and level up. As of now, the most lowest Spiritual Stone he had are Tier-4 that even after he paid for the items he bid at the auction house, only an small amount of it was used.

It should not hurt his pocket if he gave his allies a Tier-4 Spiritual Stones each or two... In any case, those were just accumulating dust inside...

Though there's no dust inside the [Inner World] since there was a neat freak that was Elves inside.

And those forest of Crook Witch Tree too.

Cole also commanded all of his pets through their soul connection that they should enter Shelly's back so that he only need to summon the latter.

The flow of time inside the [Inner World] is more faster than the outside because of [Time Dilation]. Only a second had passed and all of his pets are ready to be summoned.

Cole immediately summon Shelly. The latter came out of the summoning circle with the same size of a car which is quite small but he knew that the space at the turtle's back was as massive as a city. And this will become more bigger as the latter level up more and his comprehension of [Concept] deepen.

Most of the people already saw the spectacle created by Cole's summoning and only few of them look at it the second time as they were all busy with their own task.

Since the time was tight, he take Perfect Tier-4 Spiritual Stone and make it float on front of the ten monks with two pieces each.

"Take it and use it to recover your spiritual energy." He said.

He didn't wait for their reply as he teleports continuously and gave two the same Spiritual Stones to all of the people inside the light barrier.
