But these three factions, apart from the Heavenly River Sect, Wind and Thunder Path, and Jade Toad Path, were all reluctant to exert much effort to support the Western Domain Five Sects.
In reality, they only sent some manpower to ensure the inheritance of the Five Sects was not extinguished.
To expect them to send troops and exert effort, risking heavy casualties to attack the Earth Immortal formation of the Changqing Immortal Sect, was merely wishful thinking.
The only one willing to make an effort was the Heavenly River Sect, whose School Leader, Huang Yuanxiu, was also tied down by powerful enemies nearby and could hardly spare many people.
In such a situation, the Nine Provinces had only regained enough strength to defend themselves against the Changqing Immortal Sect, but to say they had a strong ambition for advancement would be an overestimation.
