Gathering at Tianxu Mountain

He knew that this was his Life-Bound Immortal Sword nourishing him; once Life-Bound Dharma Artifact reached the third rank, it would contain a trace of creation substance.

Life-Bound Immortal Sword of this level can already nourish the cultivator, helping them refine their True Essence and Law Power.

With the assistance of a third-tier Life-Bound Immortal Sword, Chen Nianzhi's True Essence will gradually be tempered by the sword, making its destructive power and refinement more than 30% stronger than that of other swords of the same tier.

Combined with his already formidable True Essence after Self-Foundation Establishment, his True Essence refinement was now almost on par with that of a cultivator in the Early Purple Mansion realm. The only difference was that he hadn't integrated the crucial Divine Sense to transform it into even more profound magical Law Power.

This amount of True Essence, far exceeding that of others of the same level, could increase Chen Nianzhi's chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion by 20-30%.

In addition, given the broad meridians and Divine Sense within his body that have already been tempered by the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he should have a 50-60% chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion in one go, even without the aid of external objects like the Blazing Fire Crystal.

"Even if it can't break through in one go, it should at least be able to penetrate more than 70% of the Purple Mansion Dao Meridian."

"If I can refine the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform, my chances of success will increase to at least 80% or 90%."

As Chen Nianzhi thought this, she took out the Ren-Water Azure Lotus, a sigh flashing through her mind.

The Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform has Bu Fan uses. This kind of Life-bound Magical Treasure can store True Essence, which can double the cultivator's True Essence Law Power, thus increasing the chances of success when breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

Unfortunately, to refine the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform, one also needs a Ren-Water Crystal. However, there is only a third-order Water Vein in the Chu Kingdom, which is also Kui-Water Earth Vein, so it is impossible to obtain Ren-Water Crystal.

"Perhaps after the Beast Turmoil ends, I should leave the Chu Kingdom."

"It is said that there is a Fourth-Order Water Vein in the Yan Kingdom, where Ren-Water Crystal are occasionally sold."

Chen Nianzhi thought this to herself, then suppressed the thought and began to cultivate her inner True Essence in seclusion.

Just three months later, he emerged from seclusion, only to find that Chen Qinghao had been waiting for him in Spirit Lake Isle for quite some time.

"News has arrived from Heavenly Ruins Mountain: the Heavenly Ruins Alliance is about to begin."

Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, the Third Elder said, "It's not convenient for the Clan Leader to leave, so it would be best if you went there."

"The Heavenly Ruins Alliance, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi poured a cup of tea for the Third Elder, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

He has made countless trips over the past few years to prepare for this Heavenly Ruins Alliance. He has met with the heads of the major Lineage throughout the Border Province and discussed the details many times.

The purpose of this trip to Heavenly Ruins Mountain is simply to finalize the alliance, so that when the Beast Turmoil, all forces can be united as one.

"With only three years left in the Beast Turmoil, the Heavenly Ruins Alliance should indeed be signed."

Chen Nianzhi said this, and he and Chen Qinghao drank a cup of tea. Then the two of them flew together on their swords to Heavenly Ruins Mountain.

The two flew at a considerable speed. After Chen Nianzhi's Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword was upgraded, it was already capable of traveling 30,000 li a day, which was even faster than the speed of an ordinary Purple Mansion.

Chen Qinghao had been working on the Foundation Establishment for over twenty years, and a few years ago, with the help of the Origin-Breaking Pill, he finally made another step forward, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer. After the breakthrough, his Bright Abyss Void Spirit Sword was promoted to the Tier 2 middle grade.

Although this is far from Chen Nianzhi's speed of traveling ten thousand miles a day, it can still cover five or six thousand miles a day.

Although Heavenly Ruins Mountain is 100,000 li away, the two of them only spent a little over 20 days to reach the Heavenly Ruins Mountain Range.

"Looks like we're late."

Upon arriving at Heavenly Ruins Mountain, Chen Qinghao looked at the people on the Heavenly Ruins Mountain and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

At this moment, over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators had gathered on Heavenly Ruins Mountain, which was completely unexpected by everyone.

With a simple sweep of his divine sense, Chen Nianzhi detected over a hundred powerful beings, all of whom were cultivators at or above the Foundation Establishment.

"Almost all of the sixty-odd Foundation Establishment cultivators from Heavenly Ruins Mountain have arrived."

"Nearly twenty Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan from the three prefectures, each sent at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Chen Nianzhi's reputation has grown increasingly prominent over the years, and almost every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Border Province knows him.

As he greeted the acquaintances, he glanced into the distance and saw two figures, their auras restrained, sitting cross-legged on a pavilion, playing chess.

His eyes twitched slightly, then he whispered to Chen Qinghao, "Those two are both Purple Mansion Ancestors. The one in purple is Yang Yuanhe, the Purple Mansion Ancestor of the Yang Clan, and the one in black robes is Xu Daoyuan, the Ancestor of the Xu Clan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qinghao's expression shifted slightly.

Both major Purple Mansion Immortal Clan in Border Province have two Purple Mansion Ancestors each, and Yang Yuanhe is the Purple Mansion Ancestor of the Spirit Commandery Yang Clan.

Back then, at the Border Province Exchange Fair in Feng Commandery, the Yang Clan went so far as to offer the Azure Wood Longevity Art in exchange for a Purple Mansion Cultivation Method with the attributes of metal and water, all for the sake of this ancestor, Yang Yuanhe.

Ancestor Yang possesses Metal-Water Dual Spirit Root, and it has been less than thirty years since he broke through to the Purple Mansion. Coupled with the lack of a suitable Cultivation Method, he has not even broken through to the First-Layer Purple Mansion realm realm.

With such strength, Chen Nianzhi figured that even if he couldn't defeat him, he should still be able to match 70-80% of his strength by relying on the power of his Life-Bound Immortal Sword and the Thunderclap Blazing Fire Sword.

At least they can fight before their True Essence is exhausted; they still have some survival skills.

The other Xu Daoyuan was also in the Early Purple Mansion realm. He was only 160 years old and was the most outstanding genius of the Xu Immortal Clan in the past two hundred years.

It is said that Xu Daoyuan broke through to the Purple Mansion at the age of 110, and his cultivation level is now at the Third-Layer Purple Mansion realm. He has learned the Xu Clan's Divine Ability divine power, the Earth Wu Earth Divine Thunder, and has also refined the Xu Clan's Life-Bound Dharma Artifact, the ' Void-Refining Wu-Earth Cauldron '.

The ' Void-Refining Wu-Earth Cauldron ' is Law Artifact with both fire and earth attributes. It is born with two Divine Ability, one of which is called the Kun-Origin Wu-Earth Shield. When this Divine Ability Divine Ability is activated, it will transform into a protective shield with power no less than that of a top-tier Defensive Magic Instrument of the same level.

The other is called the Void-Refining Divine Fire. That Void-Refining Divine Fire Bu Fan in power, and in terms of destructive power, it is three times stronger than Law Treasure Divine Ability of the same level.

"I might be able to put up a fight against that Elder Yang."

"But if I become enemies with Xu Daoyuan, unless I join forces with the Old Clan Leader, I'll have to flee for my life."

By secretly comparing the combat strength of these two Purple Mansion Ancestors, Chen Nianzhi had a rough idea of his own combat strength.

Chen Nianzhi led Chen Qinghao to an inn to rest, and then said, "The Heavenly Ruins Alliance Assembly won't start for another half month. I have some things to take care of."

After bidding farewell to Chen Qinghao, he flew on his sword to the front of Jiang Linglong's Spirit Pool Cave Abode.

Jiang Linglong seemed to have anticipated his arrival. She glanced at Chen Nianzhi and said with a smile.

"Being able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage before the Beast Turmoil, it seems I can rest assured about your safety."

"It's all thanks to the Qingyuan Pill."

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, she paused slightly, then couldn't help but ask, "The Beast Turmoil is imminent, Heavenly Ruins Mountain will face the greatest pressure and is in dire need of manpower. Why was I assigned to Yu Commandery?"
