A One-Strike Pact, Endless Marriage Alliances

With the sun already high in the sky, Soaring Cloud Peak grew even livelier. Emerald bamboo crackled, and rosy clouds rolled and surged.

Birds soared into the air, spirit beasts danced.

Cheers rang out continuously from the mountain. With beast tides occurring so frequently, Taiyi Sect had sold quite a few Foundation Establishment Pills during this period.

Thus, newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators had sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain, with many making breakthroughs.

Although no Purple Palace families or Purple Palace factions had emerged in Taihang Commandery, several more Foundation Establishment families had appeared. Unlike before, when they stood toe-to-toe with the Ye Family, the current Foundation Establishment families came to Soaring Cloud Peak every year to pay their respects.

They even bore a rather striking resemblance to Wei Dazhong, and the treasures they presented were quite respectable as well.

The territories occupied by these newly advanced Foundation Establishment families were also very small, located closer to Jade Dragon Valley.

Beyond Taihang Commandery, quite a few newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators had also emerged in Taiqing Commandery and Heavenly Descent Prefecture.

The two sects now faced roughly the same crisis. The more Foundation Establishment cultivators there were, the more cultivators might rise above the rest.

Moreover, while they claimed to the outside world that the Foundation Establishment Pills had been refined from Heavenly Origin Fruits, the Ye Family had bought several themselves and knew perfectly well that they had clearly been refined from demon cores.

Evidently, Taiyi Sect also possessed the Eastern Sea Foundation Establishment Pill formula; it simply had not been circulated.

At last, as the cheers from the Foundation Establishment cultivators subsided, the voice of Azure Cloud Nunnery rang out as well.
