Ji Feixue
Chen Nianzhi emerged from the Seclusion Chamber.
He watched calmly, his heart filled with ever-growing emotions.
In spiritual practice, talent, comprehension, and resources determine the lower limit, while what truly determines the upper limit is often one's determination, perseverance, courage, and talent.
Chen Nianchuan has honed extraordinary perseverance, courage, and decisiveness along the way.
Such a person, if not to perish on the Dao Path, might have gone very far.
"..."
The Heavenly Python Treasure Ship took more than ten days to fly over Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wilderness before finally arriving at Azure Sun Mountain.
Chen Nianzhi did not leave immediately, but instead used the Subterranean Fire Vein of Azure Sun Mountain to refine the Black Abyss Ancient Gold.
This Black Abyss Ancient Gold is Fourth-order Heavenly Material, but it contains a large amount of Demon Baleful Intent. Chen Nianzhi will need to put in a lot of effort to refine the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword.
Indeed, this was the case; even with the help of Subterranean Fire Vein, Chen Nianzhi's process of forging this sword was extremely troublesome.
He first used the power of the Earthfire, spending forty-nine days to completely refine the Demon Baleful Intent within the sword.
Then, it was smelted with Tier 4 Earthfire for a full 108 days before the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword was smelted into a mass of liquid.
At this point, the difficulty was not great. Chen Nianzhi began to reshape the sword body, spending seven days engraving the array patterns of the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword into it, and finally forging the Sword Embryo of the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword.
Once this sword is forged, its grade will reach the near- Tier 4. It only requires slaying a Golden Core realm demon Demon Beast and refining its soul into it to advance it to the Tier 4.
"What a wonderful Legend of Sword and Fairy!"
Looking at the black Sword Embryo before him, Chen Nianzhi felt a surge of joy. This sword was the bane of demons and monsters, and with it in hand, his abilities would be greatly enhanced.
With a touch of joy, he stepped out of the Seclusion Chamber, ready to go find Jiang Linglong.
As soon as he stepped out of his Seclusion Chamber, he saw a sword light fly from the sky to Azure Sun Mountain. When the light landed on the mountaintop, it transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman with a slender and graceful figure.
Who is this visitor?
Chen Nianzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. The woman's aura was restrained yet magnificent, even stronger than that of a cultivator at the Golden Core Grand Completion.
Just then, Jiang Linglong came out, greeted the woman, and then called Chen Nianzhi over as well.
"..."
Inside the main hall of Azure Sun Mountain, the three sat facing each other.
Jiang Linglong looked at the woman and introduced her to Chen Nianzhi with a smile, "This is Ji Feixue, also my close friend."
"She came here because of the Demon Cave."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes widened slightly as she recalled the origin of the name.
Ji Feixue is a renowned peerless fairy in Jizhou. She is the legitimate daughter of the Ji clan leader. Although she is about the same age as Jiang Linglong, she has already cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm.
Although she possesses Three Element Spiritual Root, she was born with the Dao Body ' Profound Yin Body ' and has refined High-grade Golden Core.
Relying on her Divine Ability Law Treasure, as well as the formidable Law Power of her High-grade Golden Core, Ji Feixue once fought against a demon emperor in the Nascent Soul Early Stage without being at a disadvantage.
Ji Feixue carefully examined Chen Nianzhi and nodded slightly.
After exchanging greetings, Jiang Linglong got straight to the point. "How should we handle the matter of the Demon Cave this time?"
"This was a joint scheme orchestrated by the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor and the Black Fiend Devil Lord; they had already prepared a backup plan."
Ji Feixue shook her head and said this, and as she finished speaking, the two of them felt a slight gloom in their hearts.
Sure enough, Ji Feixue continued, "The Black Fiend Demon Ridge is not peaceful, it's holding back several of our True Lord."
"Several demon Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor have also made their moves, keeping us True Lord occupied."
"So this time, they only sent me."
Chen Nianzhi frowned and asked, "Is it really impossible to eradicate the Demon Cave?"
"It's not impossible."
Ji Feixue shook her head and said, "But if a great war breaks out here, no matter the outcome, the Chu Kingdom will be riddled with holes, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people will be displaced. Are you willing to accept that?"
"Moreover, both my father and the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor have already stepped one foot into the Primordial Spirit realm."
"My father is currently in a critical period of seclusion. If we act rashly, all our previous efforts may be in vain."
Chen Nianzhi paused for a moment, and the doubts in her heart suddenly became clear.
The Ji clan patriarch and the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor, one with immortal blood flowing through his veins and the other a descendant of the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, their bloodlines having undergone a transformation to the point of almost becoming dragons.
Both of these beings are extraordinary, and whoever steps into the Primordial Spirit Realm first will be able to change the landscape of the Eastern Wilderness.
Once the Ji clan leader breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, he will surely be able to integrate the power of the hundred continents surrounding Ji Continent, and the entire Ji Continent will become a holy land of Dao Lords.
At that time, would the Ji Immortal Clan, a being on the verge of transforming into a dragon, allow such a powerful being to occupy their bedside?
The main reason why the demon kings of Bibo Lake plotted against the Chu Kingdom was to force the Ji clan leader out of seclusion and postpone his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Dao Lord level.
"If that's the case," Chen Nianzhi's expression turned grave, a bad premonition rising in her heart, "Then isn't the Chu Kingdom in grave danger?"
"Um."
Ji Feixue nodded and said calmly, "Back then, my father and the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor signed a three-thousand-year contract, and two thousand five hundred years have passed now."
"In the next few hundred years, as my father's breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit stage draws ever closer, they will become increasingly impatient."
Even if they dare not break the contract and take action, they will continue to find ways to intervene.
She sighed, and said with a touch of pity, "For the Chu Kingdom, the future Beast Turmoil will be even more perilous."
Chen Nianzhi remained silent, her heart trembling slightly.
He understood perfectly well that compared to a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, a mere small country was truly nothing special.
Let alone a small country falling into war, even if ten Chu Kingdom were destroyed, it would be a huge gain to have a single Primordial Spirit Dao Lord born in exchange.
The Eastern Wilderness stretches for hundreds of millions of miles, with over eight hundred continents as expansive as Ji Continent, yet there are only three Dao Lord Holy Land.
The three holy lands combined only have eight or nine Dao Lord among the Human Race, and most of these Dao Lord are stationed on the East Sea Shore.
With one more Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, the peace of the Hundred Continents can be protected, allowing billions of Human Race to thrive and multiply. Their very existence is the greatest achievement.
At this moment, the Chen Clan family was located on the edge of the Chu Kingdom, and faced with this situation, they were in their most dangerous moment.
Even though Azure-Wave Lake was wary of the Ji Clan's Pure Yang Supreme Treasure, the ' Immortal-Refining Furnace,' and dared not wage war against them, a small move like the Demon Cave was enough to cripple the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World.
"You don't need to worry too much."
Ji Feixue shook her head and calmly said, "Back then, the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor swore a blood oath to break the agreement. If he were to tear up the agreement and fight directly, he would find it difficult to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage in the future."
"Moreover, it's not far from transforming into a dragon, so it probably doesn't have much energy to deal with these things."
"So he'll only resort to underhanded tactics to indirectly support his Demon Beast; he won't actually launch a full-scale attack against us."
"If they really go too far, we will summon the immortal races from other kingdoms in the Ji Continent to join the war."
Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, he was also well aware that the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan would not easily conscript cultivators to participate in the war.
Because if these forces were to clash, a large number of Golden Core realm cultivators, and even Demon Emperors and True Lord, would likely perish, both sides are exercising great restraint.
