Chapter 1671
Join forces
"Our little schemes could not escape your discerning eyes, senior."
"We came here with the intention of helping your sect deal with that demonic python clan, and... to take the opportunity to make some profit."
"However, your sect is exceptionally powerful and in a very favorable situation. We have no intention of interfering, lest we seize your sect's benefits and cause misunderstandings."
To avoid conflict caused by Jin Yu Lao Dao Jun's intentions, the Ling brothers quickly said...
"You two are too kind."
"Old Taoist Master Jin Yu said with a smile."
He then recounted in detail the important matter.
Because the Golden Yuan Immortal Sect had grand ambitions, it did not simply deploy a large force to attack the small rocky mountain range in front of them.
Furthermore, it also arranged for several other armies of cultivators to attack some other important border areas of the 'Earthfire Golden Scale Python Clan'.
The battle situation in those areas was not bad.
But it's too tough to eat.
Who knows what might happen in the future?
The old Taoist master Jin Yu then planned to seek help from the Ling brothers, Cheng Xia and Ling Chengxia, to assist the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect's forces.
Moreover, he made a solemn promise.
During this period, the gains of the Ling brothers, Chengxia and Ling Cheng, did not belong solely to them.
Moreover, for every demon beast at or above the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm that they kill, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect is willing to offer some benefits as a token of their gratitude.
For example, a mid-grade fifth-tier spiritual treasure.
In addition, those border strongholds of the Earthfire Golden Scale Python clan are also extremely important.
Moreover, there are many spiritual veins.
However, the highest grade within it is only an ordinary mid-grade fifth-order spiritual vein, which is much less valuable than the Earth Rock Mountain Range.
During this period of great turmoil, the Earthfire Golden Scale Python clan did not send many powerful individuals to those areas.
The strongest among them are only some mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
'With Cheng Xia's and my abilities, this matter shouldn't be too dangerous.'
Ling Chengxia was confident because of her strong abilities.
"This is truly a blessing from heaven."
"Moreover, the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect has always been quite reliable. It would be safer to follow its other cultivator armies to attack other important border areas of the demon race."
'It's even possible that my cousin Cheng Xia and I could use this opportunity to kill or capture some Nascent Soul stage demon beasts.'
Ling Cheng felt a surge of joy in his heart.
The two brothers then reached a consensus and immediately agreed to the matter.
They quickly headed to another important border area of the Fire Scale Python clan nearby.
"With their help, the advantage in the other battles is likely to be much greater."
As the old Taoist priest Jin Yu watched their departing figures, he felt slightly relieved.
He then focused his attention back on attacking the Earth Rock Mountain Range.
……
at the same time.
Far beyond the battlefield of the Earth Rock Mountains, atop a desolate mountain, lie two incredibly elusive mid-stage Nascent Soul spirits.
And these were the Netherworld Hidden Assassins who had been secretly following the Ling Chengxia brothers.
In addition, there are many powerful individuals in the Earth Rock Mountain Range.
They dared not get too close to the battleground, lest they be discovered and cause trouble.
At first, seeing the Ling brothers getting closer and closer to the battlefield, they were filled with worry.
But the Ling brothers soon left that area.
They immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Young Master Cheng Xia and Young Master Cheng Mie did not participate in the battle at the Earth Rock Mountain Range."
"Otherwise, given the fact that there are many late-stage Nascent Soul experts fighting inside, if those two young masters were to interfere casually, they might easily find themselves in danger."
"Even if we are quite strong, we probably would have a hard time protecting the young master and his companion."
They sighed inwardly.
They then caught up with the Ling brothers again.
……
the other side.
The main battlefield of Tianhe Realm.
Deep within the Western Demon Realm lies the Yin Xuan Valley, the most important border stronghold of the Yin Ming Demon Sect, which is immense.
It stretches as far as the eye can see, with no end in sight.
Moreover, it contains a fifth-tier superior demonic vein with extremely strong foundation, so the Yinming Demonic Sect attaches great importance to this place and has dispatched many powerful experts to guard it.
The Yinming Old Demon, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, had also invited the Silver Moon Bear Lord, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage and was temporarily allied with the Silver Moon Barbarian Bear Clan, to jointly oversee the area.
In addition, a powerful fifth-tier top-grade magic array was set up inside.
Furthermore, due to its dense internal demonic energy, the demonic array can be perfectly activated, unleashing terrifying power that even a normal Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of their cultivation level would likely be unable to withstand.
Even so, the situation here is still not good.
The Radiant Star Immortal Sect's Nascent Soul Perfection Daoist Lord, along with countless cultivators, surrounded the area and launched a relentless attack.
However, the most proficient of the Hundred Arts of the Radiant Star Immortal Sect is, after all, the most profitable "alchemy".
His family was quite wealthy, and he not only provided each of the participating cultivators with a large number of recovery pills and talismans, but also greatly improved the strength of the participating cultivators.
Moreover, it has many powerful battle formations under its command.
Even tens of thousands of years ago, it had gathered countless high-level array resources, as well as the primordial spirit of a Silver Moon Savage Bear that had been killed in its early years.
They also found a top-tier fifth-level array master and a dozen ordinary fifth-level array masters to work together to create an incomparably powerful top-tier fifth-level 'Silver Moon Savage Bear Battle Array'.
Not only is it extremely simple and can be deployed at any time, but it can also forcibly refine the power of multiple cultivators and turn it into one's own power, making it a powerful weapon in battle formations.
Moreover, its power is extraordinary, far surpassing that of ordinary formations of the same level.
At this moment, countless disciples of the Radiant Star Immortal Sect continuously poured their spiritual power into it.
It then instantly conjured a powerful, fully-fledged Nascent Soul Silver Moon Bear spirit.
The array spirit was enormous, tens of thousands of feet tall, making the surrounding mountains appear tiny and insignificant.
Even as it stood in the air, seemingly able to blot out the sky and the sun, the surroundings suddenly darkened.
Moreover, with its extremely domineering physique, it continuously swung its claws, blocking all the powerful attacks launched by the protective formation of Yin Xuan Valley.
It even had some spare power left to bombard the defensive light barrier erected by the formation.
Boom boom! ! !
Roar!
That spirit formation seemed capable of tearing apart mountains and rivers, no less powerful than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.
Moreover, this level of battle formation is unique even in the entire Tianhe Realm.
Aside from him, Yaoxing Daojun's achievements were also exceptional.
The wounds it suffered centuries ago have finally healed.
He also received a complete set of Golden Element Bows and Arrows from the Golden Element Immortal Sect, which made him even stronger than before.
Moreover, the gold-plated bow and arrows he wielded were exceptionally powerful.
It stood in the air, constantly drawing its bow and nocking arrows, firing powerful golden arrows that ordinary attacks could not withstand.
Furthermore, because those golden arrows contain extremely strong energy-breaking power, a single strike can easily shatter a fifth-grade high-level spiritual treasure.
In addition, Daoist Yaoxing also activated two supreme fifth-grade treasures of the Yaoxing Immortal Sect: the "Yaoxing Furnace" and the "Yaoxing Bronze Bell".
The Radiant Star Bronze Bell is a versatile artifact, possessing immense power and serving as a valuable offensive magical treasure.
Moreover, it possesses formidable defensive capabilities, directly erecting a massive defensive light barrier that enveloped the entire Radiant Star Immortal Sect army, greatly increasing the safety of the participating cultivators. As for the Radiant Star Furnace, it is an extremely special small furnace, containing the domineering Radiant Star Treasure Fire.
The Radiant Star Fire is formed from the combined energy of the stars in heaven and earth; it is righteous and luminous, and is the purest form of pure Yang energy.
It not only possesses a powerful restraining effect when facing demonic methods.
Moreover, once it comes into contact with something, everything in heaven and earth will become its fuel, constantly strengthening it.
In fact, its power is comparable to that of ordinary powerful attacks, yet it requires less energy to activate.
When Daoist Yaoxing used this treasure to fight his enemies, he gained a significant advantage.
In fact, he single-handedly defeated the Yinming Old Demon and the Silver Moon Bear Lord in Yinxuan Valley.
'However, at the current pace, eliminating them in a short period of time will be quite difficult.'
Yaoxing Daojun looked at his own situation, which was very good, but Yinxuan Valley's defensive strength was not bad either.
It will probably take at least another hundred years before we can hope to shatter the protective array of Yin Xuan Valley.
While such a period of time would be extremely short on a normal day.
But in these times of great turmoil, it takes a while.
The army under the command of the Shining Star Immortal Sect requires an enormous amount of resources every day.
If this continues for a century, the resources consumed will likely be astronomical.
Even if the Radiant Star Immortal Sect can handle it, other righteous forces will likely not be able to, and may even have objections.
The reason why the Shining Star Immortal Sect was able to attack the Yinming Demon Sect's important border area so smoothly was not because of its own efforts, but also because of the help of countless righteous forces throughout the Heavenly River Realm, who helped to entangle the other demon forces.
In addition, the ancient ghost realm, which occurs once every thousand years, will open in a few decades.
If, during the attack on Yin Xuan Valley, the Yin Ming Old Demon and the Silver Moon Wild Bear realize the situation is dire and flee inside, that would be a real problem.
Although the Ancient Ghost Realm is considered part of the Heavenly River Realm, it is filled with evil spirits and is extremely chaotic.
Moreover, the world is filled with ghostly energy. If a righteous cultivator enters and consumes too much of their energy, they can only rely on spiritual objects to replenish it and cannot stay there for long.
They also cannot use the power of heaven and earth to perform supernatural or great supernatural abilities.
The strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, even the Radiant Star Dao Lord didn't have much confidence to enter it.
They then wanted to quickly break through Yin Xuan Valley.
In this way, even if the Yinming Old Demon Silver Moon Bear King escapes, they will have a hard time getting to where they are.
'We'll have to seek help from other righteous forces.'
Yao Xing Daojun suddenly had an idea.
Immediately, he sent a telepathic message to a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Radiant Star Immortal Sect who specialized in gathering intelligence from various regions, inquiring about the situation of the clashes between the other righteous forces and demonic forces in the Heavenly River Realm.
Among them, the Cangxuan lineage, which destroyed the old and superior Nascent Soul demonic sect 'Vajra Demon Rock Sect', is the most dazzling.
"It's truly unexpected that this great chaos only lasted for a short period of a dozen years, yet the Cangxuan lineage managed to destroy such a formidable demonic sect."
"His skills are quite impressive..."
Yao Xing Dao Jun was somewhat surprised.
In addition, since the old Daoist Zhengyuan of the Cangxuan lineage had previously made a move in public, it was inevitable that news of his entry into the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm would spread.
Upon closer examination, this also includes Ling Pengyun and the Star Sea Ancestor.
The Cangxuan lineage has a total of three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
And this level of strength is quite impressive.
Immediately, Daoist Yaoxing took out a high-level communication treasure, intending to contact the Cangxuan lineage.
……
Soon after.
The territory of the recently destroyed Vajra Demon Rock Sect, deep within the Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm, atop the fifth-grade high-level spiritual land, Demon Rock Mountain.
Inside a cave.
'A message from Daoist Yaoxing?'
Ling Pengyun, who was cultivating, noticed a change in a high-level communication artifact on his body. After examining it carefully, he immediately discovered that it was a message from Daoist Yaoxing, who wanted to discuss something important.
Moreover, soon after, another major figure from the Cangxuan lineage, the Star Sea Ancestor, came looking for them.
He also received a message from Yaoxing Daojun.
'That's strange.'
'But this estimate isn't necessarily a good thing.'
Ling Pengyun and the Star Sea Ancestor both guessed something, and their brows immediately furrowed with seriousness.
However, Yaoxing Daojun is indeed powerful, and since he has important matters to discuss, it would be inappropriate to refuse him at this moment.
Then, they simultaneously activated the communication artifacts in their hands.
Immediately afterwards, the face of Daoist Yaoxing appeared on the communication treasure in their hands.
"Fellow Daoists, it's been quite a few years since we last kept in touch."
"I recently heard that your lineage has achieved remarkable success; this is truly something to congratulate you on..."
After a few polite exchanges, Yaoxing Daojun expressed his intention to have the Cangxuan lineage assist him in attacking the Yinming Demon Sect.
Moreover, he had long ago discerned that Ling Pengyun and the other person had ample lifespans and guessed that they had some aspirations for the perfect Nascent Soul realm.
Therefore, they took advantage of this to offer huge profits.
As long as they can lead the Cangxuan lineage to provide full support to the Yaoxing Immortal Sect.
After the matter is settled, he is willing to give each of them a fifth-grade high-level breakthrough spiritual item, the Radiant Star Breaking Profound Pill.
Furthermore, they were even willing to share some high-level demonic lands, or even fifth-order superior-grade demonic lands, of the Yinming Demonic Sect with the Cangxuan lineage.
'As expected, that's why they came to me and the Ancestor; their methods are truly grand.'
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was immediately tempted.
A fifth-grade superior-quality Radiant Star Breaking Profound Pill can increase a cultivator's chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage by at least 20%.
Moreover, its effects are mild and can protect the heart.
If one fails to break through to a higher realm using this pill and suffers a backlash, it can offset some of the damage.
In addition, it is extremely difficult to refine and the spiritual materials required are extremely rare.
Even if the Radiant Star Immortal Sect has a top-grade fifth-level alchemist in charge, it would probably be very difficult to obtain such a precious pill.
Not to mention, he took out two at once.
Moreover, even if the two pills have the same effect and cannot be taken at the same time, given the value of those pills, they can be quickly exchanged for a breakthrough spiritual item that does not conflict with them.
Upon closer examination, those two pills were actually more than enough to help a cultivator break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
However, the Radiant Star Immortal Sect did not actually possess such a thing, but it was not trying to deceive the Cangxuan lineage.
Yaoxing Daojun's alchemy skills were extraordinary, and like Xinghai Ancestor, he possessed the ability to refine breakthrough spiritual objects using the primordial spirit of a powerful being as the main ingredient.
Moreover, its abilities are several times stronger.
Furthermore, if the Radiant Star Immortal Sect achieves a great victory, it will surely be able to kill a large number of powerful members of the Netherworld Demon Sect.
At that time, there will be no need to worry about the primordial spirit of the powerful. As for the auxiliary materials for alchemy, they are quite common, and the Radiant Star Immortal Sect has even planted a lot of them.
Therefore, everything is just waiting for the right opportunity.
As for high-level magic lands, their value is also considerable.
It was precisely for this reason that Ancestor Xinghai was quite tempted by the benefits offered by Yaoxing Immortal Sect.
He and Ling Pengyun were inclined to agree to this.
However, the Cangxuan lineage is composed of various forces in the Cangxuan Realm, and it is not something that belongs to them alone.
They did not reply immediately, but after ending their communication with Daoist Yaoxing, they immediately summoned all the powerful members of the Cangxuan lineage to discuss the matter. (End of this chapter)
