Foundation Establishment Late Stage, Immortal Sword Advancement

Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly.

Unlike the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, these Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan have very weak self-protection capabilities and still need to look out for each other to increase their chances of surviving the Beast Turmoil.

"Since that's the case, then I'll get straight to the point." Chen Nianzhi said, a serious expression on his face. "My Yu Commandery has already discussed this and wants to sign a Mutual Defense Pact with Fengling Commanderies."

"The Azure Sun Sect members have stolen the Blazing Fire Crystal the Zhang Clan of Yang Province, and the matter has caused quite a stir. It's now difficult to trust them anymore."

"Therefore, we are also preparing to abandon the Azure Sun Sect and go to Heavenly Ruins Mountain to re-sign the blood alliance."

After listening, Liu Jueyan nodded and said seriously, "Azure Sun Sect is unreliable. If we want to survive, we can only rely on Heavenly Ruins Mountain."

"In fact, even our Xu Clan, the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan of Feng Commandery, is already working on this matter and preparing to go to Heavenly Ruins Mountain to sign an alliance."

The two chatted in the reception pavilion for the entire afternoon, discussing the general outline of the three-county contract before Chen Nianzhi finally left.

Next, the Liu Immortal Clan will naturally return to Feng Commandery to convey the intentions of Yu Commandery. Once the intentions of the various Lineage are confirmed, a contract for mutual assistance and cooperation will be signed.

To finalize the alliance agreement, dozens of immortal clans from the Border Province negotiated back and forth seven or eight times, spending a year or two in the process, before finally signing a treaty.

According to this covenant, during the Beast Turmoil, all the major immortal clans in the Border Province should unite as one, set aside past grievances, and work together to fight against the Beast Turmoil.

Furthermore, to prevent Devil Cultivator from taking advantage of the chaos to launch attacks, the covenant also stipulated that during the Beast Turmoil, if any family is attacked by Demon Beast and Devil Cultivator, other immortal clans in the vicinity should provide support immediately.

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Call--"

On this day, Chen Nianzhi refined the last Spirit Peach in her hand and slowly opened her eyes.

He took a slight breath. Years of arduous cultivation had finally allowed him to advance further, perfecting his True Essence and reaching the limit of the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer.

"Finally, I can attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

A flicker of joy crossed Chen Nianzhi's mind as she took out a Qingyuan Pill from her Storage Bag.

Five years ago, under Jiang Linglong's guidance, he successfully refined two Qingyuan Pill in one go. With these two Precious Pill in hand, he was almost certain to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

The Old Clan Leader was able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage so early because a piece of the Lineage's Azure Origin Ganoderma matured, which he used to refine a batch of Qingyuan Pill, thus enabling him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Chen Nianzhi took a deep breath and swallowed a Qingyuan Pill. He felt a surge of powerful True Qi rush into his meridians, instantly igniting the vast True Essence within his body.

Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, he had been tempered by the Hongmeng Purple Qi for many years, so the toughness and breadth of his meridians far surpassed those of other cultivators at the same level.

In addition, the powerful True Essence gained from Self-Foundation Establishment makes him far superior to other cultivators of the same level in both combat strength and body tempering effects.

Therefore, by now, Chen Nianzhi's True Essence essence is no weaker than that of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer. With such a foundation, after the Qingyuan Pill exploded, it immediately transformed into a mighty torrent that opened up his meridians, breaking through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage with unstoppable momentum.

It's done.

Feeling her True Essence surge by 50%, Chen Nianzhi smiled.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, it becomes much easier to refine True Essence. It only takes him a few months to complete the True Essence.

"Let's refine our Life-Bound Immortal Sword first."

Instead of immediately refining his True Essence, he directly summoned the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword.

Then, the Geng-Metal Divine Radiance and Lihuo energies are extracted and refined. A third-grade low-level Law Artifact is often worth at least 30,000 Spirit Stone.

However, Life-Bound Immortal Sword only needs the Five-Elements Qi to be upgraded. Chen Nianzhi's Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword needs 49,000 strands of Geng-Metal Lihuo Essence Qi to be promoted to the third-tier low-grade level.

Although these Five-Elements Qi cost Chen Nianzhi more than 10,000 Spirit Stone, compared to the value of a third-tier Law Artifact, the cost was already very low.

Upgrading a flying sword is a painstaking process. Chen Nianzhi painstakingly infused the immortal sword with the Geng-Metal Lihuo Twin Essences, taking three months to succeed.

"Clang--"

Three months later, a sword's cry rang out.

The Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword unleashed a sword aura over thirty feet long, its dazzling azure light illuminating the entire Spirit Isle Lake, causing an astonishing phenomenon that startled the surrounding area for miles.

In the darkness of the night, a streak of azure sword energy soared into the sky and plunged into the vast clouds. Faint blue light pierced through the sea of clouds, illuminating the hazy night.

"What happened?"

Startled by the astonishing phenomenon, Chen Xianyan looked up at the blue, magnificent sword light in the sea of clouds and couldn't help but exclaim.

At that moment, Chen Nianzhi stepped forward, looked up at the blue sword light crisscrossing the Nine Heavens, and revealed a smile.

"Come back!"

The Life-Bound Immortal Sword possesses a spirit; legend has it that the Tier 6 Life-Bound Immortal Sword of the Sword Saint Dao Lord can even fight against a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord on its own.

The Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword truly Higher Vehicle a superior immortal sword. Although it is still far from reaching that level, its intelligence has already become extraordinary after advancing to the third tier.

A beam of azure sword light descended from the Nine Heavens, circled intimately around Chen Nianzhi, and then transformed into a ray of light that flew into his brow.

"Uncle Nianzhi"

Chen Xianyan looked at Chen Nianzhi, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Your Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword, could it be...?"

"Um."

"I never imagined that advancing to the level of Life-Bound Immortal Sword would produce such an astonishing phenomenon."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and smiled slightly, "Fortunately, Spirit Isle Lake is located in a remote area. If I had advanced in Qingyuan Mountain, it would probably have become common knowledge."

"Keep what happened today to yourself; don't tell anyone."

"Yan'er understands." Chen Xianyan revealed a look of ecstasy. "Congratulations, Uncle Nianzhi! With a third-tier immortal sword in your hand, you are probably considered a high-ranking figure in the Chu Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly. After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, once he takes the Mysterious Origin Pill, the True Essence in his body will be equivalent to most of the Purple Mansion.

With my Life-Bound Immortal Sword and the Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword in hand, I should be able to put up a fight even against a cultivator in the Early Purple Mansion realm. Even if I'm no match for them, I should be able to escape with the help of my Life-Bound Immortal Sword.

In the entire Three Provinces of the Azure Sun Sect, the Azure Sun Sect and seven or eight Purple Mansion Immortal Clan combined only have about thirty Purple Mansion cultivators.

"I'm going into seclusion now. You'll keep watch for me for a while, and don't disturb me."

Chen Nianzhi gave his instructions, then turned and returned to his Seclusion Chamber.

After returning to the Spirit Spring, he first swallowed the Mysterious Origin Pill. Only after discovering that his True Essence essence had increased by 30% did he finally show a slight smile.

He closed his eyes and slowly sensed his Life-Bound Immortal Sword within his body, discovering that strands of True Essence within him were being absorbed by the Life-Bound Immortal Sword and then transformed into more condensed True Essence.
