Heavenly Ruins Alliance

Thanks to this connection, the Meng Clan has developed very quickly, and now has seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, including two in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Meng Xingwan is an outstanding one among them. At such a young age, she has already reached the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. Who knows, she might be able to break through to the Purple Mansion twice in the future.

It is said that Chen Nianchuan had some feelings for her, but his affections were unrequited, Meng Xingwan gently rejected Chen Nianchuan.

The Old Clan Leader glanced at Meng Xingwan and the several Foundation Establishment from the Meng Clan beside her, nodded, and smiled.

Why haven't I seen Cousin Star River today?

"Chieftain..."

Meng Xingwan hesitated slightly, but still said, "The clan leader has been bedridden for many days, and I'm afraid he's not going to make it."

"How is that possible?"

The Old Clan Leader's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't I give him a few Life-Extending Spirit Apricot a few years ago?"

"The clan chief, feeling sorry for his grandson, gave the Spirit Apricot to his cousin Luo Yuan."

A Foundation Establishment from the Meng Clan, standing nearby, looked somber and spoke in a low voice.

The Old Clan Leader sighed, his eyes dimming slightly. Just as people are born, grow old, get sick, and die, so too does the moon wax and wane.

Many members of the Nian Generation in the Lineage, such as Nianyong, Nian Yuan, and Nian Gan, are running out of lifespan. There are quite a few cultivators who need longevity-extending treasures, so he cannot keep giving away the Lineage's treasures to others.

A few years ago, Mu Xuanming, the patriarch of the Mu Clan, purchased a Five-Elements Treasure Crystal to attempt to break through to the Purple Mansion but failed. In the end, he exhausted his lifespan and passed away in his cave. Now, Meng Xinghe is also about to pass away, and there are very few cultivators left in his generation.

The Old Clan Leader was in a bad mood and had no desire to continue the conversation.

Chen Nianzhi glanced at everyone, casually tossed a bottle of pills to Meng Xingwan, and then said, "I will have someone send another Longevity Apricot over. No one is allowed to touch this one."

"Thanks..."

Meng Xingwan accepted the jade bottle and quickly expressed her gratitude, only to find that he had already walked away.

She could only stand there quietly, watching the white-clad figure recede into the distance until it disappeared at the ends of the earth.

I will never see you in this life, for I have only crossed the mortal world in vain.

Seeing you once in this life has ruined my entire existence.

A person's life is always full of regrets and helplessness.

"..."

Upon ascending Heavenly Ruins Mountain, one finds numerous pavilions and towers nestled among its slopes.

One by one, the Purple Mansion Ancestors and Foundation Establishment cultivators had been waiting for a long time, gathering in twos and threes, clearly anticipating the start of the alliance meeting.

Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi arrive, four or five cultivators from Border Province, including Pan Boyuan and Xu Ganyang, came over.

Standing beside Pan Boyuan was a young man named Pan Lingran, a newly promoted Purple Mansion cultivator of the Pan Clan. Chen Nianzhi had seen this man before.

Xu Ganyang, whose cultivation had now broken through to the Seventh Purple Mansion Layer, said with a joyful expression, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Chen, on your great progress in cultivation. You have broken through to the Mid-Purple Mansion realm; I'm afraid even I may not be your match."

"Not at all, fellow Daoist, your cultivation has reached the Purple Mansion Late Stage; perhaps you'll even have a chance to reach the Golden Core realm in the future."

Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly and said, "Xu Ganyang is not even three hundred years old yet. At this Purple Mansion Late Stage will most likely be able to break through to the Golden Core realm twice in the future."

If one is willing to invest in Longevity Pill, living past five hundred years is a certainty, and there might even be a 20% chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm in the future.

However, the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation to overcome; at least several Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure must be destroyed to have any chance of surviving the tribulation. This depends on whether the Xu Clan has the resources to do so.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Chen Nianzhi looked into the distance.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Ganyang introduced them to him, saying, "Those gentlemen are all fellow Daoists from the Purple Mansion realm of Azure Sun and Liangzhou."

With Xu Ganyang's introduction, Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader gained a general understanding of the origins of these cultivators.

Currently, there are eight Purple Mansion Immortal Clan in Azure Sun and Liangzhou, with a total of fifteen Purple Mansion cultivators, which is six more than the Purple Mansion cultivators in the Azure Sun Sect.

Among these fifteen Purple Mansion cultivators, two are Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivators, while the rest are early- to mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators.

This time, the eight great immortal clans of Azure Sun and Liangzhou sent eight cultivators of the Purple Mansion, including two patriarchs in the Purple Mansion Late Stage.

The two ancestors in the Purple Mansion Late Stage were Fang Qingmei from the Fang Immortal Clan of Yunyang Commandery, Yang Province. She was a female cultivator at the Seventh Purple Mansion Layer, with the same cultivation level as Xu Ganyang. In fact, she had only recently broken through.

The other person is the Patriarch Qian from the Qian Immortal Clan of Azure Province. His cultivation level is as high as the Ninth Purple Mansion Layer. The Qian Clan has four Purple Mansion cultivators and is one of the top three Purple Mansion Immortal Clan in the Chu Kingdom. They are not much worse than the Yan Immortal Clan of Yan Old Devil.

This Patriarch Qian is now 460 years old, but because he took three third-tier Longevity Pill, he still has 30 years of life left.

At this moment, Patriarch Qian actually came to Heavenly Ruins Mountain in person, clearly intending to settle this score with the Azure Sun Sect before his Essence Blood were exhausted.

In the previous Beast Turmoil, the Qian Clan lost two Purple Mansion Ancestors and almost all of the more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators who participated in the battle. However, the Xu Patriarch of the Azure Sun Sect fled without a fight, which shows how much hatred the Qian Clan has for the Azure Sun Sect.

In the short time it took for them to get to know each other, the Heavenly Ruins Alliance finally began.

After Jiang Linglong emerged from seclusion and met with everyone, Lin Qianshu, who was standing to the side, spoke up, "Everyone, the Azure Sun Sect holds the greatest interests in the Three Provinces, yet it does not think about protecting the territory of the Three Provinces."

"We fought valiantly for the Human Race on the front lines, while they received the spoils but received no compensation. They even fled without a fight from the Demon Race, while sitting in the rear enjoying the Spirit Vein Earth Vein."

"Now that Master has broken through to the Golden Core realm, he can no longer tolerate the existence of Blood Ghost like the Azure Sun Sect."

"The purpose of this Heavenly Ruins Alliance is to make an agreement with you all to jointly attack Azure Sun Mountain and seek justice for the countless cultivators who died in battle."

As Lin Qianshu finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, clearly having waited for this moment for many years.

Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Lin Qianshu handed each person a contract.

Chen Nianzhi was fully aware of the contract; it was essentially an extension of the old Border Province Heavenly Ruins Mountain Alliance, with only some modifications.

After confirming that there were no unforeseen circumstances, Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader signed a contract on behalf of the Chen Immortal Clan.

The alliance meeting lasted for three hours, and Heavenly Ruins Mountain hosted a banquet to entertain everyone, keeping them busy until the next day.

After the event concluded, the group did not leave. At that moment, more than twenty Purple Mansion cultivators gathered together, preparing to hold an Exchange Fair.

The Exchange Fair was held at the Heavenly Ruins Pavilion. Lin Qianshu, representing Heavenly Ruins Mountain, was the first to step forward, and she brought out three treasures.

These three treasures are a bottle of third-grade Precious Pill, a Tier 4 Low-Grade spirit talisman, and several Tier 3 High-grade spirit talismans.

With a major battle imminent, the importance of these talismans and pills goes without saying.

Patriarch Qian spent 400,000 Spirit Stone to buy the Tier 4 Low-Grade Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword Talisman, while the Precious Pill fell into the hands of Fairy Fang of Yunyang Commandery.

The three Tier 3 High-grade spirit talismans were bought by Xu Ganyang at a high price.

Chen Nianzhi was the second to step forward, taking out two Violet-Qi Cloud-Pattern Pill and five Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill.

"Gentlemen, I'm sure you all understand the value of these two treasures."

"Two Violet-Qi Cloud-Pattern Pill in exchange for a Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure; you can name your price for the Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill."
