Alliance

The Ancient Realm of Creation has two restrictive rules.

First, those who have entered the Ancient Realm of Creation cannot enter it a second time.

Second, those who have entered the Ancient Realm of Creation must not reveal the contents of the trials within.

The purpose of both rules is to ensure that the Ancient Realm Trials are fair to the greatest extent possible.

Therefore, neither the Demon Race nor the pure-blooded humans present knew anything about the Ancient Realm of Creation.

These two rules are not absolute restrictions. If the senior sister were here, she would probably be able to enter and leave the ancient realm without any hindrance.

However, this method is too difficult for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to learn.

"This ancient realm comes from High Antiquity, it must be very extraordinary. Should we find an ally?" Lu Yang suggested.

The Golden Core stage has the highest potential for development. How well a cultivator cultivates during Golden Core stage and how well they form their core will affect their entire life.

A prime example is the Immortal Fairy. Although the Invincible Pill has shattered into a Nascent Soul, its profound influence continues to this day.

Therefore, the Ancient Realm of Creation limits cultivation levels to the Golden Core stage.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are outsiders to the entire Demon Realm. Even if they are capable of fighting, the Demon Realm's geniuses will swarm them, and even the Invincible Pill won't be of any use.

The safest approach is to find allies.

"Alright." Meng Jingzhou nodded steadily.

Not only are they human, but they also have the dual identities of the Ask Dao Sect and the Meng family. If their identities were exposed, the prodigies of the Demon Realm would likely be in grave danger.

"What about the Phoenix Clan? The Phoenix Clan has some connections with the Ask Dao Sect, and I also have acquaintances in the Phoenix Clan," the Third Senior Sister suggested from the side. She now had a pair of tiger ears, was blindfolded, and had a tiger tail swaying behind her.

She temporarily impersonated a member of the Qiongqi tribe.

"The Phoenix Clan... Senior Sister, do you know who wrote 'The Dragon-Phoenix Change'?"

"Have no idea."

"Written by our master."

The third senior sister was stunned for a moment; she really didn't know that.

She once again sensed that her master's evil deeds were numerous and countless, and that one might suddenly resurface at any moment.

She then sighed, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone too far when I fought the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan last time."

"How heavy was your fall?" Meng Jingzhou asked cautiously.

"I fear that the inner demons I will face in my future spiritual practice will resemble my own image."

"Let's not talk about that anymore; it's irrelevant to the current situation. The Dragon-Phoenix Clan probably doesn't know about Master's evil deeds yet, so we can join forces."

"Where are the dragons?"

"The dragons aren't very good. Back then, in order to advance in battle, I often challenged dragons to one-on-one duels, so I don't have a good relationship with them."

"At that time, I was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage. In order to seek a breakthrough, I wandered around the Dragon Clan's territory, challenging those of similar strength and hiding from those I couldn't defeat."

"Not just the Dragon Clan, I've fought the White Tiger Clan, the Zhu Yan Clan, the Taotie Clan, and so on."

"..."

The two felt that their third senior sister's reward was still too low.

"The Phoenix Clan was captured that time, so they could only ask their senior sister for help. She was in charge of dealing with the elders, and I fought against my peers."

"The Phoenix Clan knows my identity and has never revealed it, so they are quite reliable."

"Then let's cooperate with the Phoenix Clan."

Lu Yang and his companion nodded in unison, trusting their third senior sister's judgment.

The three approached the Phoenix Clan, but were met with suspicion by the Phoenix Clan and the avian clan that followed them.

"Halt! Who are you?"

Jiang Shan shouted, looking at the three of them warily.

Especially when I look at my third senior sister, I always feel like she's in danger.

"It's me, Gan Tian," the third senior sister said coolly, introducing herself.

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Shan stumbled back several steps.

Not only Jiang Shan, but also two other members of the Phoenix Clan, upon recalling the day they were pinned to the ground and beaten by their Third Senior Sister, turned pale and took several steps back.

The person escorting Jiang Shishi, the Phoenix Clan's prodigy, was an elder of the Phoenix Clan. He had exchanged views with the eldest senior sister about cultivation and knew the identity of the third senior sister.

"We have something we'd like to discuss with the Phoenix Clan. Would it be possible to find a quiet place?"

The "Third Senior Sister" refers to the Phoenix Clan's followers. While the Phoenix Clan can be trusted, these followers are a different story.

"Good."

The Phoenix Clan Elder, Jiang Shan, and Jiang Shishi were called aside by their third senior sister.

"Let me introduce you. These two are my junior brothers, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou."

Upon hearing the names of these two people, Jiang Shishi was moved and looked them up and down in surprise.

As a prodigy of the Phoenix Clan and the future patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, she always held herself to the highest standards and was therefore very concerned about the situation of the great prodigies of the world, especially those of her generation.

These two were the two people mentioned most frequently in the intelligence she had gathered.

Lu Yang possesses unparalleled Technique Method and is rumored to be a swordsman, but no one has ever seen him draw his sword.

Meng Jingzhou Pure Yang Body, capable of warding off evil spirits and demons. He has diligently cultivated his body and integrated his martial arts techniques, but his true strength remains uncertain.

She considered herself exceptionally talented, yet she wasn't confident she could defeat the two of them.

"What are you going to do?" the Phoenix Clan elder asked.

"Let's form an alliance and enter the ancient realm together."

The Phoenix Clan elder did not immediately refuse, but instead carefully considered the matter and weighed the pros and cons.

These two are the strongest Golden Core stage duo in the Great Xia Dynasty, and their combat power is definitely much stronger than that of the Phoenix Clan followers.

Moreover, these two are from the Ask Dao Sect. Jiang Shishi has been carefully protected and adored since birth. She is too pure-hearted and shy, so she is not suitable to be the clan leader.

This is a good opportunity for the Ask Dao Sect to be infected.

Although the Ask Dao Sect had a terrible reputation in the Demon Realm, the Phoenix Clan elders knew that the Ask Dao Sect did not cheat its own people and its credibility was guaranteed.

"Can."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please give me your guidance." Lu Yang smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Jiang Shishi was a beat slow to react before returning the greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please give me your guidance."

"Senior Brother Jiang Shan, we meet again." Meng Jingzhou clasped his hands in greeting. Now that they had formed an alliance, according to the customs of the Great Xia Dynasty, they could address each other as fellow disciples.

"It's been a long time. The last time I saw you two was when you were in the Foundation Establishment Realm. I could have imagined that you would shine brightly in the Golden Core stage, but I never expected you to be this strong." Jiang Shan said with great emotion.

"Shishi, who are these two?"

A hearty laugh rang out; it belonged to the young master of the Nine Infant Clan, followed by his protectors, all radiating a subtle yet palpable aura of power.

His laughter was hearty, but his eyes held a hint of gloom as he swept his gaze back and forth between Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

Jiang Shishi frowned, displeased with the young master of the Nine Infants Clan: "Qin Feng, I've told you many times, our relationship isn't that close, don't call me that so intimately!"

"Who is this?" Lu Yang asked Jiang Shan via voice transmission.

"Qin Feng, the young master of the Nine Infant Clan, was taken in as a closed-door disciple by the clan's Tribulation Transcendence Ancestor, and his status is no less than that of the clan leader."

"He's been pursuing Shi Shi ever since his debut, but without success. He probably sees you two as rivals now, so you should be careful."

"Good."

Qin Feng didn't linger with Jiang Shishi. After giving Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou a warning look, he left.

The Nine-Headed Serpent Clan protector remained silent throughout, but the aura he deliberately exuded spoke volumes.

The third senior sister frowned slightly upon witnessing this scene.

Two more hours passed, and the ancient realm opened. Lu Yang and his companion followed Jiang Shishi into the ancient realm.

Protectors from various ethnic groups remained outside the ancient borders.

After the two junior brothers entered the ancient realm, the third senior sister left the Phoenix Clan's group.

Before leaving, he told the Phoenix Clan, "When I come back, just pretend you don't know me."

Another half hour passed, and the Third Senior Sister flew in from afar on a beast skin, swaying back and forth. Blood was still dripping from the beast skin; it was the Third Senior Sister's blood.

Third Senior Sister was seriously injured.

"Look, that's the Demonic Sound Celestial Maiden!" A sharp-eyed expert recognized the Third Senior Sister.

"It's her! How did she get hurt!"

Third Senior Sister was badly injured. Biting her lip, she had only managed to fly here through sheer willpower. She roared angrily:

"Qiongqi Clan! You have broken your promise! You invited me to explore the ancient tombs of various clans to uncover their secrets, but now you've used me and discarded me, sending assassins to kill me!"

Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!

The second update will be at 11 PM.
