The Earth Spirit Alliance

In the royal palace of the Fire Kingdom in the Southern Domain of Profound Heaven Prefecture.

"What? You want me and Sister Ling'er to be the alliance leaders?"

Mu Qianning almost thought she had misheard.

Huo Ling'er frowned and said, "Qian Ning and I are far from qualified, both in terms of cultivation and experience. How could we possibly be the leaders of the entire prefecture..."

Upon hearing this, the Yuanyang Holy Lord smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Ling'er, Miss Qian Ning, if you are unwilling to become the alliance leaders, I'm afraid... Profound Heaven Prefecture will be completely lost!"

Dugu Chenlu also spoke up, saying, "Now the Four Great Alliances are eyeing us covetously, and the Earth Spirit Alliance is a direct threat... We can no longer remain a disorganized mess; we must organize ourselves."

"And you two can earn the trust of everyone in Profound Heaven Prefecture!"

They all stared intently at Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning.

"I see..."

Huo Ling'er pondered for a moment and said, "But we can't make this decision on our own; we must consult Senior Li!"

"That's what we think too."

The Yuanyang Holy Lord and others also spoke up.

"Qian Ning, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning hesitated for a moment. She really didn't want to be the so-called leader of the alliance, but she also understood that the situation was urgent and she had no choice but to do so.

"I agree... Shall we go ask Senior Li first?"

Before long, they arrived at the Small Mountain Village again.

In the Unique Leisurely Courtyard Small Courtyard.

During this period, with the help of the Peach of Immortality and others, Li Fan's disciples have made further progress in strength!

Nan Feng's understanding of the "Emperor's Formation Breaking Song" deepened further, and her temperament became increasingly transcendent. Once the music started, a fierce and murderous aura swept through the air, and she was almost at the Immortal Realm.

Ziling was not to be outdone. In recent times, she had been studying how to paint sunsets every day and had already achieved a certain level of artistry, reaching the eighth level of the Mysterious Immortal realm!

Qing Chen swept the floor every day, and his Buddhist heart became increasingly clear, reaching the sixth level of the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

Long Zixuan was even more terrifying. He imitated the koi in the pond, and when his dragon soul was unleashed, it suppressed all directions, faintly rivaling Ziling.

Dugu Yuqing has been able to write the character "" completely, which is exactly the moment he has broken into the realm of Xuanxian.

Lu Rang the only one still stuck at the Ninth Heaven True Immortal, but recently he has been obsessed with planting plants!

The grass seeds were given to him by Li Fan, who said they were "pasture grass," but Lu Rang discovered that those grass seeds were quite extraordinary.

If planted properly, even a single blade of grass can kill an immortal.

He was already planning to lead a terrifying sea of grass across the immortal realm.

Even Gongya, a powerful demon general, couldn't help but admire the rapid growth of his disciples in this Small Courtyard.

"Sigh, even a good-for-nothing could grow into a renowned figure by following such a peerless master, right?"

She murmured.

As for Xin Ning, she would spend her free time munching on peaches or asking Lu Rang for a carrot or something. Her physical condition improved more and more, and her vital energy recovered rapidly during her dormancy.

Gongya suspected that it wouldn't be long before Xin Ning would be able to recover to the Devil Lord level again.

"Qian Ning and the others have come to pay their respects to Senior Li."

At that moment, Mu Qianning's voice rang out from outside.

"Come in."

Li Fan spoke.

Mu Qianning and the others then pushed open the door and entered.

When they saw Long Zixuan and the others, they were shocked once again.

"After just a few days, Senior Li's lands have reached an even more terrifying state..."

The Yuanyang Holy Lord murmured to himself, thinking that it wouldn't be long before one terrifyingly powerful figure after another would emerge from this Small Courtyard.

"Qian Ning, what brings you here?"

Li Fan spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qian Ning immediately said, "Senior, it's like this... Due to the formation of the new world, the celestial realm has now formed four alliances..."

"These four alliances are all very powerful, and they want to seize the resources of our Profound Heaven Prefecture, forcing us to Profound Heaven Prefecture..."

"Therefore, Senior Yuan Yang proposes that we also form an alliance!"

"Therefore, we have come to ask for your permission, senior. Is this permissible?"

Mu Qianning was a little nervous.

An alliance? Li Fan was immediately puzzled.

But then he realized what was happening.

Yes, Huo Ling'er and the others, as well as Yuan Yang and the others, are in the calligraphy and painting business.

A new world has emerged, so in order to compete for markets, people from other places are banding together to develop!

That's definitely it!

Faced with this situation, if Yuan Yang and the others from Profound Heaven Prefecture continue to fight individually, they will definitely be gradually eroded.

The only option is to join forces and become bigger and stronger!

The fact that they needed to consult me on even something as simple as this clearly showed that they hoped I could provide assistance in their competition with the external alliances.

After all, Li Fan's calligraphy and paintings are undoubtedly masterpieces; having good stuff is essential for competitiveness!

Li Fan understood the whole story and immediately smiled, saying, "Of course that's possible."

"If you need any help later, feel free to contact me."

He was happy with this arrangement, thinking it might allow him to sell more of his works in the future.

Moreover, he was able to take on apprentices thanks to Huo Ling'er and others for their help in promoting the program.

Thinking of this, Li Fan suddenly felt a headache coming on again.

The system's task for me is to take on ten apprentices. However, Ziling and Nan Feng were already taken on before, so they are not counted. Therefore, I only have four apprentices at most.

Six more are needed!

Currently, we still need to support Huo Ling'er and others to grow stronger, so that they can help us find apprentices later.

Huo Ling'er, Mu Qianning, and the others were overjoyed upon hearing this!

Senior Li agreed, and even promised to help!

This is fantastic!

"With Senior Li's words, Profound Heaven Prefecture is safe!"

"Haha, even if Four Great Alliances come together this time, we have nothing to fear!"

They were overjoyed.

"By the way, senior, one of the alliances came knocking on our door, saying they're coming to cause trouble in three days..."

Huo Ling'er then spoke.

Although Senior Li has now agreed to let them form an alliance, the threat from the Earth Spirit Alliance three days later still leaves them extremely worried.

After all, Profound Heaven Prefecture's current strength is far too weak compared to the Earth Spirit Alliance.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan pondered for a moment. Did this mean those people were actually planning to resort to underhanded tactics?

Doing business with connections to both the Heibai is very troublesome.

"How strong is the enemy? How many people do they have?"

Li Fan asked a question.

The Yuanyang Holy Lord replied, "Reporting to Senior, in terms of both strength and numbers, they far surpass our Profound Heaven Prefecture!"

They are stronger and more numerous... the disparity is too great. Even if I send my four male disciples out to help, it will be a drop in the ocean...

It seems that, under these circumstances, the only option is to lay low for now!

Li Fan immediately said, "Why don't you stay in the Small Mountain Village for a few days first?"

If you can't beat them, just hide for now.

This is Li Fan's idea.

Upon hearing this, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were shocked, but then overjoyed!

"Okay, thank you very much, Senior Li!"

"That's wonderful!"

They were all extremely happy.

You must know that this Small Mountain Village contains terrifying Dao Rhyme and laws; cultivating here for one day is better than cultivating in the outside world for a year!

"Senior Li is helping us improve our strength."

"It's easy to imagine that our overall strength will reach a new level by then!"

They were overjoyed.

Soon, they left, and then organized elites from various Great Sects to cultivate in the Small Mountain Village!

At this moment.

The underground of Profound Heaven Prefecture.

Where the magma flows, flames rise.

A huge heart gradually emerged from the magma.

"Thump--"

My heart gave a deep, resonant sound!

Beside the lava, a blood-red shadow suddenly appeared.

"Reborn... The Heavenly Realm Undying... I will Yu Tian Realm and become immortal king..."

The blood-red shadow murmured softly, and suddenly moved closer to the enormous heart.

"Thump--"

His heart skipped a beat, and a golden ripple instantly spread out. The blood-red figure let out a shrill scream and hurriedly retreated.

"No... impossible! I was born from the blood of billions of beings in the Heavenly Realm. I am the rightful heir to the First Heavenly Realm. How can you refuse me!"

Blood Shadow stared at the heart with a chilling gaze, his words gradually turning venomous:

You must acknowledge me!

"I sense it. Your scattered body is nearing its end. Many lower realms have merged, and I will occupy the remaining parts... At that time, you will have no choice but to acknowledge me!"

Blood Shadow murmured softly.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the First Heavenly Realm was annihilated by the Immortal Realm, and countless indomitable beings perished.

Amidst slaughter and bloodshed, the Blood Shadow was born, embodying madness and twisted nature, filled with violence and evil.

It, along with this heart, was blasted into the void of the ocean.

After lying dormant for tens of thousands of years, it was almost decaying, but some time ago, the Profound Immortal's blood awakened it, and also awakened its heart.

"With you, I can stand tall in heaven and on earth..."

Blood Shadow murmured softly, seemingly sensing something.

"I have sensed the rest of you... I will obtain them!"

The Blood Shadow's voice echoed in the lava, but the next moment, it had vanished.

After the blood shadow left, a faint sigh seemed to linger in his heart...

And at this moment.

Earth Spirit Prefecture.

Between Earth Spirit Prefecture and Profound Heaven Prefecture lies a Profound Character State and two Yellow Character State, making the distance vast.

Even though Wang Juan was already at the Immortal Realm, it took him half a day to travel from Profound Heaven Prefecture to Earth Spirit Prefecture.

He headed directly towards the central region of the Earth Spirit Prefecture.

The Earth Spirit State Central State.

On this majestic land, stand magnificent palaces.

Originally the Earth Character Realm, it contains many powerful lineages.

There are two Golden Immortal level ancient powers.

Purple Light Mountain, Ancient Peak Sect!

There are more than a dozen other Heavenly Immortal level powers, such as the Wind Fire Sect, the Blood Mist Sect, and the Red Star Gate.

There are even more Profound Immortal level powers, numbering in the hundreds!

The Earth Spirit Alliance was established by the two major forces, Purple Light Mountain and Ancient Peak Sect, with the Sect Master of the two major sects serving as the alliance leader.

The Sect Master of other Heavenly Immortal level powers are Supreme Protector.

All the powerful beings at the Immortal Realm serve as protectors.

Their power is immense!

Within just one month, Earth Spirit Prefecture had conquered nearly twenty other states.

Ordinary Profound Character State and Yellow Character State had no ability to resist at all.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Ancient Peak Sect, the two leaders of the Earth Spirit Alliance, the twelve Supreme Protector, and the sixty-four Protectors were all present.

They are discussing something important.

"Alliance Leader Yin, Alliance Leader Yue, we have conquered more than a dozen states in succession. Now, shouldn't we head towards Profound Heaven Prefecture?"

An old man spoke up; he was none other than the Blood Mist Sect Master and the Supreme Protector the Earth Spirit Alliance — Blood Mist Venerable!

The Red Star Gate Sect Master, Red Star True Person, smiled faintly and said, "Conquering a hundred states is not as good as taking over Profound Heaven Prefecture!"

"This state is too important; it must contain a great fortuitous opportunity!"

"We can't let them get away!"

"If we're too late, it's very likely that the Earth Wind Alliance or the Earth Origin Alliance will take it!"

Everyone readily agreed.

It can be said that a major reason for forming the alliance was to take over Profound Heaven Prefecture!

Many forces are already impatient.

At the head of the table sat two elderly men side by side.

One of them, with his white hair and thinness that made him almost skin and bones, but with eyes as sharp as lightning, was Yin Xingde, the Mountain Lord of Purple Light Mountain.

The other was an old man who, though aged, was muscular and showed no signs of fatigue. He was as imposing as a mountain, and he was Yue Poshan, the Sect Master of the Ancient Peak Sect!

The two men concealed their auras, yet they were incredibly terrifying; they were both Golden Immortals!

"What you all say is absolutely right, the time has come."

Yue Poshan said calmly, "Brother Yin, what do you think?"

Yin Xingde smiled slightly, then looked at one of the Supreme Protector and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhu Xuan, how are things going on your end?"

Zhu Xuan, the Sect Master of the Wind Fire Sect, is also a Celestial Immortal.

Zhu Xuan stood up and said, "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, I have already sent an envoy to Profound Heaven Prefecture. If they are sensible, the person I sent should be returning with their letter of submission by now..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

"Great, it would be best to win without bloodshed!"

"Hehe, that's the fastest way. Alliance Leader Yin is indeed a brilliant strategist."

They were full of praise.

"Wang Juan Wind Fire Sect requests an audience with the two Alliance Leaders and all the Protectors!"

Just then, a loud shout came from outside.

"Pass!"

Yue Poshan immediately waved his hand.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked in from outside; it was none other than Wang Juan.

"Wang Juan, how is it? Has Profound Heaven Prefecture submitted?"

Zhu Xuan spoke with anticipation in his eyes!

In his view, Profound Heaven Prefecture had no choice!

Only submission.

However, Wang Juan's expression was somewhat grim as he said, "Reporting to the Supreme Protector... Profound Heaven Prefecture has refused!"

I refused!

Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces instantly darkened!
