The Heaven Origin Race's Predicament

Heaven Origin Mountain Range, Heaven Origin Garden.

Yin Shi, Yin Hao, Yin Qing, and a burly old man in a golden robe were sitting around Zhang Qing tea table, talking about something.

"Still no news from Bi Yuan?"

The old man in the golden robe frowned and asked.

Yin Jie, Spirit Transmutation Mid-Stage.

Bi Yuan and two other Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators took the Heaven Origin Sword to the Purple Eye Realm and then headed to the Green Plum Realm Purple Eye Realm to find out where the cultivators of the Green Plum Realm were traveling from to the Heaven Origin Realm.

The Heaven Origin Sword is Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure capable of breaking through interfaces; the Heaven Origin Race currently possesses only this one Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure capable of breaking through interfaces.

"Not yet. They've most likely had an accident. The Life Soul Lamp of two clansmen have gone out, only Fellow Daoist's Life Soul Lamp is unharmed."

Yin Qing said.

"What did the Purple Charm Race say? Fellow Daoist, you traveled to the Green Plum Realm through Spatial Node provided by the Purple Charm Race. Could it be that the Purple Charm Race Clan is behind this?"

Yin Shi said with a gloomy face.

The Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure that breaks through the interface is extremely precious, so it's not surprising that the Purple Charm Race Clan covets it.

"No, our people witnessed them opening the spatial passage. They encountered trouble while entering the passage; perhaps they ran into Space Storm, or maybe they encountered Strange Beast living in the Boundary Domain."

Yin Qing said.

Their original intention was to destroy the Spatial Node connecting the Green Plum Realm to the Heaven Origin Realm, thereby cutting off the Green Plum Realm's retreat route. This would trap the Human Race cultivators who had invaded the Heaven Origin Realm, allowing them to mobilize their forces and annihilate them.

Plans can't keep up with changes, and they can't cut off Human Race's escape route now.

"His Life Soul Lamp hasn't gone out yet, so he should be fine. We just don't know where he's hiding. Let's gather our experts to fight the Human Race! They've mobilized a million cultivators, and the southern part of the Heaven Origin Realm is already under Human Race control."

Yin Hao frowned and said.

The Gan Yang Realm and Green Plum Realm have been sending people to the Heaven Origin Realm, and the number has reached one million, including as many as thirteen Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, pushing forward step by step.

"Two fellow Daoists have perished, and the whereabouts of the other fellow Daoist are unknown. There are only twenty Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators in the Heaven Origin Realm. If a real battle breaks out, the advantage is not significant. After all, the Human Race can mobilize troops, and who knows how many Nascent Spirit Transformation the Human Race actually has?"

Yin Qing analyzed.

Thirteen Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Human Race have shown their faces, but it cannot be ruled out that some Spirit Transformation cultivators have not shown their faces. The Heaven Origin Race is not entirely confident in achieving victory in one battle.

"The Purple Charm Race Clan! They are our allies. With their help, we can destroy or repel the Human Race cultivators."

Yin Jie frowned and asked.

"Our people in the Lingxu Realm have suffered a great calamity, and the Purple Charm Race's attitude has become ambiguous. They are refusing to participate in the war for various reasons, and they are currently asking for passage. If we are defeated, even passage will be difficult."

Yin Qing said.

The Lingxu Realm also has the Purple Charm Race, who are allies of the Heaven Origin Race. Now that the Heaven Origin Race is facing a great calamity, the Purple Charm Race in the Lower Realm has begun to distance itself from the Heaven Origin Race.

"They've already deployed a large force to guard the Spatial Node connecting the Heaven Origin Realm to the Purple Eye Realm. They say they're providing security, but aren't they just worried about the Human Race traveling to the Purple Eye Realm from there?"

Yin Shi said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, the Purple Charm Race is truly foolish. If the Human Race takes over the Heaven Origin Realm, do you think they would let the Purple Eye Realm go?"

Yin Jie sneered, then, as if struck by a thought, said, "Send someone to the Purple Eye Realm and tell them that if they don't send troops to support us, we will immediately join forces with the Human Race to attack the Purple Eye Realm. If they don't believe us, they can try."

"Join forces with the Human Race? That's not a good idea!"

Yin Qing frowned and said, "The Heaven Origin Race and the Human Race have a blood feud."

"Let's see how the Purple Charm Race responds first. We simply can't withstand it with the power of our single realm."

Yin Jie said in a deep voice.

Yin Shi and the other two had no objections and agreed.

······

Qingyang City, in the southern part of the Heaven Origin Realm.

In the Sun and Moon Garden, Song Lianyue and Zhao Yang sat around Zhang Qing tea table, while Wang Feng reported to them.

"Still no news of Buyu? Junior Brother Xu is already back."

Song Lianyue frowned and said.

Chu Buyu and Xu Xin represented the Sun and Moon Palace in the expedition, forming the first echelon. However, they were ambushed in the Endless Sand Sea and scattered to escape.

Chu Buyu has also broken up with Xu Xin, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

"No, thankfully Senior Sister Chu's Life Soul Lamp hasn't gone out yet; she's probably hiding somewhere."

Wang Feng said that he had already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"The Heaven Origin Race has mobilized a large force and surrounded us completely. It will be very difficult for Buyu to come and join us."

Zhao Yang said.

The Heaven Origin Race cultivators surrounded the Human Race cultivators to prevent them from causing trouble, making it difficult for any lone Human Race cultivators to rejoin the main force.

"I hope she's alright! I don't know how long the war will last, or even if we'll be able to return to the Gan Yang Realm alive."

Song Lianyue sighed.

Wang Kun personally gave the order, and Song Lianyue and Zhao Yang dared not disobey, leading their team into battle.

"I'm afraid the war won't end so easily. Both realms have mobilized a million cultivators to fight in another world. Judging from their posture, they intend to annihilate the Heaven Origin Race."

Zhao Yang's expression was solemn.

Both the Green Plum Realm and the Gan Yang Realm have dispatched a large number of cultivators to participate in the war, and the southern part of the Heaven Origin Realm has been controlled by the Human Race.

Human Race cultivators are mining veins, establishing Spirit Herb Garden, and planting spirit medicine Spirit Wood; it seems they intend to stay in the Heaven Origin Realm permanently.

The two sides now have a tacit understanding, and they fight every once in a while, each sending out a group of cultivators to fight, and both sides suffer casualties.

"It's not that easy to wipe out the Heaven Origin Race. As long as the Heaven Origin Race still has Spirit Transformation cultivators, it's impossible to destroy Heaven Origin Race. Since the start of the war, our Human Race Spirit Transformation cultivators have clashed with the Heaven Origin Race's Spirit Transformation cultivators several times, but Fairy Xuanbing has perished."

Song Lianyue said.

Even Spirit Transformation cultivators fear death. They are not currently engaged in a life-or-death battle, but rather sparring and testing each other.

Fairy Xuanbing died at the hands of Bian Shang, and is currently the only Spirit Transformation cultivator to have fallen.

In this battle, Spirit Transformation cultivators directed from behind the scenes, while cultivators below the Spirit Transformation fought each other, resulting in heavy casualties.

The pawn can only advance and never retreat, while the general can advance or retreat at will.

"Now we can only hope that our Human Race will win. If the Human Race is defeated, we will probably all die in the Heaven Origin Realm."

Zhao Yang said in a deep voice.

After chatting for a while, they went about their own business.

······

In the northern part of the Heaven Origin Realm lies a continuous, Emerald Green Mountain Range.

A deafening explosion came from deep within the mountains, and a huge ball of golden fire shot into the sky, shaking the earth.

A streak of Cyan Escape Light flew out from the depths of the mountains, but before it had gone far, a Golden Rainbow followed closely behind, catching up with the Cyan Escape Light.

The Cyan Escape Light stopped, revealing a panicked young man in a blue robe with a bloody hole in his head, from which blood was flowing incessantly.

As soon as the Nascent Soul left the body, a Red Rosy Clouds descended from the sky, enveloping the Nascent Soul and storing it in a Red Jade Bottle.

A crimson flame lit up the sky, Chu Buyu appeared, with a pair of red wings shimmering on his back, exuding astonishing Spiritual Qi.

Chu Buyu waved his hand, and the Red Jade Bottle flew towards her, disappearing into her sleeve.

A gust of wind blew by, and Shen Long appeared, a smile on his face.

"Fairy Chu, what a coincidence!"

Shen Long greeted him, explaining that he had come out to gather information but hadn't expected to run into Chu Buyu.
