Chapter 636 - 636: Danger in the Southern Wilderness
Hearing Heavenly Lord Purple Flame’s words, the other three Heavenly Lords present had no objections and thanked Jiang Chengxuan.
They were obviously people who knew what was good for them.
They knew that Jiang Chengxuan was already very generous to be willing to give them 200 spots.
After that, the group chatted for a while more. Heavenly Lord Purple Flame and the others did not stay any longer and bade farewell.
Three days later.
The cultivators of the Jiang family, the Purple Sun Palace, the Hidden Sword Palace, the Everlasting Palace, and the Black Sea Pavilion entered the trial ground in order.
According to the rules, every time the trial ground opened, it would last for a month.
In this month, how much the people who entered would gain would depend on themselves.
As it turned out, this trial ground was indeed used to nurture cultivators in ancient times.
By the time the trial ground closed, everyone who had entered had obtained great benefits.
Over 30% of the participants achieved breakthroughs, and even those who didn’t still accumulated enough foundation, either grasping new techniques or advancing their divine powers.
In short, when those who entered the trial ground came out, they all felt that this trip was not in vain.
In addition, it was worth mentioning that in the following period of time, when the Jiang family began to excavate that super-large spiritual stone mine, they suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a Level 6 spiritual vein buried in the depths of this super-large spiritual stone mine.
This news shocked Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
The two of them immediately entered the super-large spiritual stone mine.
After some exploration, the two of them finally confirmed that the Jiang family’s disciples’ previous discovery was not wrong.
In the depths of this super-large spiritual stone mine, there was indeed a Level 6 spiritual vein buried.
This prompted Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to decide to connect Mount Mystic Tai where the Jiang family was located to this Level 6 spiritual vein and open up the passageway between the two.
In other words, they wanted to expand the entire Jiang family’s territory.
This super-large spiritual stone mine, this Level 6 spiritual vein, and the trial ground would all be included.
This would obviously be of great help to Jiang Chengxuan when he broke through to Soul Formation.
“Now, with this Level 6 spiritual vein, you don’t have to worry about spiritual
Qi shortage anymore when you try to advance to Soul Formation.”
Shen Ruyan smiled at Jiang Chengxuan and said happily.
After all, they had used up most of their supreme-grade spirit stones when Shen Ruyan broke through to Soul Formation.
It was obviously not enough to support Jiang Chengxuan to break through to Soul Formation.
Even if they currently had such a huge spiritual stone mine,
However, it was also impossible to dig up enough supreme-grade spirit stones in a short period of time.
“Yes.”
Jiang Chengxuan also smiled and nodded.
“After we expand the range of Mount Mystic Tai to this place, I can almost begin my seclusion.”
Shen Ruyan was excited by Jiang Chengxuan’s words.
“Husband, are you…?”
“That’s right.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded again.
“If nothing goes wrong, this will be the opportunity for me to break through to Soul Formation.”
“Really?”
Shen Ruyan was pleasantly surprised.
However, she quickly thought of something and could not help but smile bitterly.
“Then, I’m afraid we’ll have to continue troubling Purple Flame and Senior Xuan Yang this time.”
“There’s no need.”
However, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head.
“This time, I should be able to avoid the human tribulation after breaking through to Soul Formation.”
“Hmm? Husband, you want to…”
Shen Ruyan subconsciously thought that Jiang Chengxuan was planning to use the Golden Lotus of Merit.
However, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head again and said, “I also obtained some treasures in the trial ground this time. Wife, look at what this is.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan had already taken out the Tribulation Avoidance Pearl he had obtained from the system.
Looking at the Tribulation Avoidance Pearl, Shen Ruyan suddenly remembered something. She couldn’t help but say in surprise,
“Could this be the Tribulation Avoidance Pearl we once used back then?”
“That’s right, that’s it.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded.
“With this, I don’t even need to use the Golden Lotus of Merit to survive this human tribulation.”
Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but smile in relief.
With this Tribulation Avoidance Pearl, the human tribulation that her husband needed to experience to advance to Soul Formation would definitely be foolproof.
As the couple was talking to each other, a huge commotion had already been stirred up in the Eastern End and the Central Plain.
No one expected that mighty Soul Formation Heavenly Lords would perish in the Northern Border, a place considered ‘a remote and backward region’.
What’s more, even the Soul Formation Heavenly Lords of the Great Ling Imperial Palace and the Heaven’s Gate Sect did not fare well in the Northern Border this time.
Not to mention the injuries sustained by Xiao Shenji and his two companions, they even had to abandon their Level 6 Pure Yang defensive treasures behind.
It was truly a complete and utter defeat.
At this moment.
Inside a grand imperial palace in the Central Plain.
A figure, seated high on the imperial throne and emanating a terrifying and intimidating aura, slowly spoke.
“Second Uncle, it’s about time to bring the Southern Wilderness under our control.
This time, you will join forces with Fourth Uncle and General Luo to completely take over the Southern Wilderness.
After dealing with the Southern Wilderness, send a message to the Sect of Infinite Boundaries of the Western Desert to ask what their intentions are.
If they are willing to cooperate, so be it. If not, then they too have no reason to continue existing.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
A middle-aged man, who bore a slight resemblance to Xiao Shenji, nodded in agreement.
He quickly left the palace with his people.
Throughout the entire conversation, neither of them mentioned the Northern Border.
Because it was no longer necessary.
Since they had given the other party a chance which was not taken, there was no need to give another.
Once they annihilate the Supreme Celestial Sect of the Southern Wilderness and take control of the Western Desert, the remaining Northern Border will be like fish in a barrel, with nowhere to escape and no chance of causing any trouble.
A few years later.
In the Southern Wilderness.
A fleet of battleships rapidly approached the domain governed by the Supreme Celestial Sect.
Disciples from the major sects of the Eastern End and Central Plain swarmed like locusts, instantly converging on the domain of the Supreme Celestial Sect.
In an instant, the clouds of war completely enveloped the entire sky.
The terrifying aura and oppressive atmosphere made all the native cultivators of the Southern Wilderness who felt and saw this unconsciously show a look of horror on their faces.
What… what exactly do they want to do?
Could it be that they intend to tear up the agreement and carry out a final siege against us, the native cultivators of the Southern Wilderness?
In the Ice Jade Palace.
An Qinyao looked at the distant sky, at the army of cultivators continuously pressing into the core area of the Supreme Celestial Sect, her eyes filled with unease.
She turned to her senior sister Wu Bingyun beside her, her voice tinged with a bit of trepidation:
“Senior sister, are the Eastern End and Central Plain really going to make a move against the Supreme Celestial Sect?”
As soon as she spoke, An Qinyao suddenly realized that her voice had become incredibly hoarse without her noticing.”
Clearly, she too was shaken by everything that was happening before her eyes.
Wu Bingyun looked at her and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Just as she was about to say something, a beam of light suddenly approached from the distance.
The aura of this light was incredibly strong.
As it drew near, Wu Bingyun and An Qinyao’s expressions changed drastically.
Fortunately, at that moment, a familiar voice came from the light.
“Fairy Wu, my Shifu has ordered you to leave the Southern Wilderness with me immediately and head to the Northern Border.”
Accompanied by that voice, Perfected Lord Nether Star appeared.
Seeing him, Wu Bingyun and An Qinyao couldn’t help but look stunned.
Wu Bingyun said, “Fellow Daoist Nether Star, what does Senior Scripture Abyss intend to…?”
Perfected Lord Nether Star shook his head with a dejected expression.
“We can’t do anything. My Shifu asked us to try our best to preserve our strength. We have to go as far as possible.
Fairy Wu, hurry up and make the arrangements. We only have ten minutes.”
Hearing this, Wu Bingyun and An Qinyao finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
The two of them did not dare to hesitate anymore and immediately gathered their disciples, preparing to leave with Perfected Lord Nether Star.
Similar things happened in many other places.
However, some were a bit slow to react or were not quick enough in their actions.
Before they could fully initiate their evacuation, they were surrounded by the cultivators from the Eastern End and Central Plain.
BOOM!
At this moment.
In the sky.
Suddenly, four figures shone with blazing light.
One of them.
Dressed in a Confucian robe, wearing a tall crown, and holding a book in his hand, he looked towards the three people opposite with a cold expression.
“Xiao Shencong, and Luo Tianba, I didn’t expect it to be you.”
Xiao Shencong, wearing a brocade yellow robe of the Great Ling Imperial Palace, also had a cold look in his eyes.
“Scripture Abyss, you should have known that it was impossible for you to defend the cultivation world of the Southern Wilderness alone.
Today, we can give you a chance. Give up resisting and submit to our Central Plain. We might be able to spare your life.”
“Humph…”
Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss snorted.
“Such psychological tactics are unnecessary between you and me.
What I want to know now is, how exactly did you bypass the backlash of the contract we signed initially?”
“You don’t need to know that.”
Xiao Shencong replied calmly.
“Why ask so much when you are about to die?”
“Oh, really?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the four figures in the sky collided.
In an instant, an endless might swept in all directions.
The sky instantly became dazzling..
