Three Great Golden Cores

I originally thought that setting up the Teleportation Array would be very dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be completed so easily.

However, Chen Mobai and his three companions could not return immediately.

They need to stay here until the main force of the Divine Wood Sect moves over.

Because it is Small Teleportation Array, it can only teleport a maximum of ten people at a time.

However, most of the defense forces at this Spirit Stone Mine had been transferred to the front lines, so the entire Divine Wood Sect army did not need to be teleported over.

Weng Chuanyou didn't know what secret technique or Magic Artifact he used, but he was certain that only two Foundation Establishment Cultivator and thirty Qi Cultivation Cultivator were operating this defensive Grand Array.

Chen Mobai used his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye to take a look and found that although he could barely see through the defensive Grand Array outside the Spirit Stone Mine, he could not see the true situation inside.

It can only be said that the Divine Wood Sect's ability to become Eastern Wasteland Great Sect is due to its profound foundation.

The rest is quite simple.

Chu Zuoshu led the Divine Wood Sect's army to besiege Ji Dingjin's large force for seven days. At the beginning, they confronted each other, but later they surrounded the enemy without attacking, simply dealing with the situation.

Ji Dingjin thought his desperate strategy had hurt the Divine Wood Sect, but in reality, the front line had withdrawn four Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a hundred Qi Refining elites, which Ji Dingjin did not want to see through.

After Chen Mobai and his three companions joined the Divine Wood Sect troops who had arrived via the Teleportation Array, they were immediately led by Weng Chuanyou, a Third Grade Formation Master, to break through the defensive Grand Array of the small Spirit Stone Mine as quickly as possible.

Although the cultivators on the Mountain Shaking Peak resisted with all their might, the difference in numbers was simply too great. Even with the support of the Array Formation, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light still managed to blast a hole in the mountain within half a day.

Once the Array Formation was broken, the two Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the Mountain Shaking Peak were quite straightforward, allowing all the cultivators to scatter and flee with their storage bags.

To prevent the Raw Spirit Stone in this Spirit Stone Mine from being taken away, Chen Mobai and the others had no choice but to split up and pursue each person.

Fortunately, they had considered this in advance, and there were enough people to be teleported over.

However, things don't always go exactly as planned. Two Qi Cultivation Cultivator from the Mountain Shaking Peak unleashed their powerful strength and managed to escape from the encirclement of six or seven members of the Divine Wood Sect.

According to feedback from surviving Divine Wood Sect cultivators, both of these cultivators Mountain Shaking Peak had mastered the first level of the Nine Ren Dharma Body, possessing powerful physical bodies that made them no match for the other cultivators.

However, these unexpected events could not affect the great success of the Divine Wood Sect's strategy.

Chen Mobai and eight other Foundation Establishment cultivators personally took action, killing the two Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had escaped from the Mountain Shaking Peak, and obtaining raw ore worth more than 200,000 Wan Ling from their storage bags.

This is the monthly output of this Spirit Stone Mine. In addition to them, each Qi Cultivation Disciple also has a total of fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stone in their storage bags.

This raid yielded them nearly 300,000 Spirit Stone.

"As expected of a small Spirit Stone Mine, the raw ore here, after a little processing and cutting, becomes Mid-grade Spirit Stone."

Weng Chuanyou held a fist-sized piece of raw ore in his palm. A yellowish-brown light emanated from his palm. After examining it, he couldn't help but smile.

In the Sky River Realm, Spirit Stone Mine are divided into four grades: micro, small, medium, and large.

Among these, Rolling Thunder Mountain is Micro Spirit Stone Mine, which can only produce Low-grade Spirit Stone, with a total output of approximately several million Spirit Stone.

The core veins of small Spirit Stone Mine can produce Mid-grade Spirit Stone ore, yielding millions of Spirit Stone annually, with a total output of tens of millions of Spirit Stone.

Medium-sized ones are already quite remarkable, with core veins containing High-grade Spirit Stone; only four such veins have been discovered in the entire Eastern Wasteland.

There are two Five Elements Sect, one Blowing Snow Palace, and one Divine Wood Sect.

Among them, the one belonging to the Divine Wood Sect was taken from the Five Elements Sect by Golden Light Cliff sect when they split up.

Therefore, half of the Spirit Stone produced each year must be given to Golden Light Cliff.

Although there are no Medium Spirit Stone Mine on the Mountain Shaking Peak, there are two small Spirit Stone Mine and three Micro Spirit Stone Mine.

The Divine Wood Sect's occupation of this place has almost cut off half of the Spirit Stone source for the Mountain Shaking Peak.

So when Ji Dingjin heard the news brought back by the two disciples who had escaped, his eyes immediately turned red.

He immediately led all the surviving cultivators under his command to abandon this Micro Spirit Stone Mine and retake the small Spirit Stone Mine that Chen Mobai and his group had occupied.

However, Chu Zuoshu, who had anticipated this, immediately led his army to block the way.

Although Ji Dingjin was blinded by rage, he had not lost his mind. After two failed attempts to break through, he had no choice but to retreat back into the Micro Spirit Stone Mine due to the overall situation.

He really had no other options.

They could only place their hopes on the sect's patriarch.

The sect that Mountain Shaking Peak is located in Gorge between two high-altitude mountain ranges.

Legend has it that the sect's patriarch shook the mountain range with a single punch, creating this Gorge, and thus chose this place as their base and named the sect after it.

At the top of the mountain Mountain Shaking Peak, a Golden Sun Spirit Tree with branches and leaves as green as clouds stands tall, reaching into the sky and covering most of the Gorge.

This is precisely the realm where the Longevity Scripture of Ancestor Zhou of the Divine Tree Sect unfolds.

At the top of the mountain range on the right, a thick black spear was planted on the mountaintop, and a young man in a golden robe stood with his hands behind his back, coldly staring at Zhou Shengqing opposite him.

This person was none other than Ji Zhenshi, the Core Formation True Person Mountain Shaking Peak.

A month ago, Zhou Shengqing came and blocked the door.

Ji Zhenshi naturally couldn't stand this insult, so he immediately came out fully armed and started fighting with Zhou Shengqing.

But there was no way around it; the Longevity Sutra was too grueling, and Zhou Shengqing's cultivation level was a bit higher. Although Ji Zhenshi relied on his strong physical body and sturdy Lifebound Artifact to barely withstand it, he was still trapped inside the sect for a whole month.

Zhou Shengqing didn't stop the other Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Disciple from entering Mountain Shaking Peak, but Ji Zhenshi couldn't leave through that door.

However, even if Ji Zhenshi could leave, he would never dare to step out of the top of Mountain Shaking Peak with Zhou Shengqing blocking the entrance.

The two of them just kept at it like that.

The news of the battle at the border was constantly reaching Ji Zhenshi's ears, and at first, this ancestor who Mountain Shaking Peak could barely accept it.

After all, he had lived for hundreds of years and witnessed countless partings and deaths; the Nine Peak Masters had changed no less than three or four times.

But today, when Ji Zhenshi learned that his family's small Spirit Stone Mine had been occupied by the Divine Wood Sect, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Zhou Shengqing, are you trying to start a full-scale war against me Mountain Shaking Peak?"

Ji Zhenshi gripped the black spear beside him, and a terrifying surge of blood energy erupted, Mountain Shaking Peak Gorge trembled continuously, as if an earthquake was about to occur.

"You guys were the ones who started it, weren't you, the ones Mountain Shaking Peak?"

Zhou Shengqing remained expressionless, casually waving his sleeves. The Golden Sun Spirit Tree beside him shone brightly, instantly suppressing the trembling mountain range beneath his feet.

"Can't you see through this tactic of sowing discord?"

Ji Zhenshi was able to annex the entire Mountain Shaking Peak with his own strength and then develop it into the Eastern Wasteland Seven Great Sects today. He used almost every kind of conspiracy and trick.

The conflict between the Divine Wood Sect and the Mountain Shaking Peak faction was clearly instigated by someone, and he didn't believe Zhou Shengqing couldn't see it.

In general, in these kinds of situations, the subordinates exchange a few words, and after a brief exchange, everyone saves face and that's it.

If Two Sect War, the entire Eastern Wasteland would likely be dragged into it, resulting in widespread suffering and unrest for another hundred years.

"Of course I can see that, but last year you killed the internal affairs elder I sent to Eastern Yi and took away nearly a million Spirit Stone stones worth of Void Stone, which was a bit too much."

Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing's words, Ji Zhenshi's pupils constricted sharply. He stared wide-eyed at the white-haired, youthful-looking boy opposite him in disbelief.

"Those are your people?"

"Hey, don't you know he's one of my men?"

Zhou Shengqing sneered and asked in return, "Last year, in order to help Zhou Wangshen cultivate the Longevity Dao Body, I sent one of my disciples to Eastern Yi Region with the newly mined Void Stone to exchange for another kind of Core Formation Spiritual Object."

Little did he know that he had just completed a transaction with a large pharmacy and left the city when he was killed by Ji Zhenshi.

It's also strange that the place where this internal affairs elder exchanged for the Core Formation Spiritual Object happened to be the headquarters of the Xuanxiao Great Merchant Association, where Ji Zhenshi still had some influence.

This is the Cultivation World of the Sky River Realm. Even a major sect like the Divine Wood Sect can be overtaken by local bullies or powerful outsiders if they're not careful.

For Zhou Shengqing, the loss of Spirit Stone was a minor matter, but the delay in Meng Hong's Core Formation, coupled with the exposure of the Void Stone Mine, was a major issue.

"Your Divine Wood Sect found the Void Stone Mine, but you won't share it with Golden Light Cliff. Don't blame us for being greedy and wanting a piece of the pie."

After Zhou Shengqing exposed the matter, Ji Zhenshi's expression calmed down. He pulled out the black spear in front of him, and the originally vast and powerful Qi and Blood on his body suddenly broke through the limits, as if it had turned into a long river of blood energy, which colored half of the sky.

"Oh, you've actually broken through to the Core Formation Late Stage?"

This was somewhat unexpected for Zhou Shengqing, and he frowned slightly.

"Hey, there are many more things you haven't thought of."

A cold laugh echoed in the void, and a Faceless Man in black robes with a white cloth covering his face appeared beside Ji Zhenshi.

"Nan Shidao!"

When Zhou Shengqing saw the Core Formation Ancestor of Six Armor Mountain, his brows furrowed even more. He had actually joined forces with the Mountain Shaking Peak without any hesitation.

"Where is Fu Zongjue? I could smell that rotten wood from a long distance. Wasn't he hiding it just to wait for me?"

Nan Shidao's lips trembled behind the white cloth, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips.

"You'll be disappointed, Junior Brother Fu is still Suppress Demon Beasts at Wind Rain Dock and hasn't come here yet."

Despite facing two opponents alone, Zhou Shengqing's expression remained unchanged, still calm and confident.

"If he hadn't come, you would probably have died at the hands of the two of us today."

Nan Shidao reached out and a sword with only a blade burst forth from his palm. The blade was slightly blue, and the air around him suddenly cooled down several degrees the instant it appeared.

"I'm quite confident in my defensive abilities. The two of you alone probably wouldn't be able to kill me."

Zhou Shengqing spoke these words calmly and composedly.

"Oh, it seems you're used to being arrogant and haven't faced the power of his Core Formation Late Stage Void Body."

Nan Shidao seemed to have experienced it before; his two eyes behind the white cloth glanced at Ji Zhenshi beside him with a hint of unease.

It was precisely because he had witnessed his strength, and because of that person, that Nan Shidao decided to join forces with Mountain Shaking Peak to fight against the Divine Wood Sect.

"Then I'll have to see what you've got today."

Zhou Shengqing spoke calmly, then flicked his finger, and two more tree species bloomed.

Three towering Golden Sun Spirit Tree formed the Three Powers position, surrounding him at the center. At the same time, they suppressed part of the earth vein operation on the Mountain Shaking Peak, causing the Mountain Protecting Great Formation that should have been aimed at him to start operating slowly.

"Since I broke through to the Core Formation Late Stage, I have not encountered an opponent who can block me head-on."

Ji Zhenshi spoke slowly, pointing the black spear in his hand towards Zhou Shengqing.

The void seemed to open up a vortex, sucking his spearhead into it.

Zhou Shengqing's expression changed slightly. He tilted his head and saw a black spearhead appear out of thin air in front of him, leaving a bloody mark on his fair cheek.

"Void Body, truly worthy of being the Eastern Wasteland's Number One Body Tempering Method."

Seeing this, Nan Shidao sighed slightly; he had been defeated by this very move.

"That's interesting."

But Zhou Shengqing, on the other hand, reached out and touched the scar on his cheek. A flash of blue light appeared, and the wound had healed.

Then a Heavenly Wood Divine Light burst forth from his fingertips, splitting in two in mid-air and hurtling towards Nan Shidao and Ji Zhenshi.

Ji Zhenshi didn't move his feet or body. With a flick of his spear, he sent the Heavenly Wood Divine Light flying into the air, like a blue meteor being knocked away. It was incredibly dazzling and beautiful.

Nan Shidao stretched out his left hand, his five fingers reassembling like pieces of wood, transforming into a shield that blocked the Heavenly Wood Divine Light. At the same time, his entire body involuntarily retreated more than ten meters before he could barely neutralize Zhou Shengqing's spell.

"I'll help you kill him as soon as possible, otherwise things will get complicated when Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang arrive."

Nan Shidao rearranged his left-hand shield into five fingers, his lips trembling beneath the white cloth, putting pressure on Zhou Shengqing as he spoke.

"This guy is right about one thing: the two of us might not be able to kill him."

Ji Zhenshi suddenly spoke up and said those words.

"I believe your Void Body is capable of doing that."

Nan Shidao, however, had great confidence in Ji Zhenshi.

"If I go all out, it will be difficult for you to cooperate with me."

Ji Zhenshi spoke, but Zhou Shengqing did not make a move, seemingly waiting for the two opponents to finish their discussion.

Nan Shidao, "So you mean..."

Ji Zhenshi: "Now that I have revealed my true cultivation level, I will naturally have a good fight with him. Since you are here, please do me the trouble of clearing out the Divine Wood Sect cultivators within the territory of the Yan Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengqing's expression finally changed.

Nan Shidao burst into laughter, then flew directly into the sky, heading towards the border between the Yan Kingdom and Lei Kingdom.

"Stop!"

Just as Zhou Shengqing was about to fly up to stop Nan Shidao from leaving, he was stopped by the spearhead that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I also want you to experience the pain I felt the other day when I heard about the death of a disciple of my sect and was powerless to do anything about it."

Ji Zhenshi looked at Zhou Shengqing and said, word by word.
