True Lord Haoran

Although this battle did not yield many victories, being able to kill such a powerful enemy can be considered as relieving a long-standing worry.

Chen Nianzhi looked at the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels, smiled, and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture. "If it weren't for the help of these two seniors, we wouldn't have been able to keep this person here today."

"This junior thanks you both, seniors."

The light from the Slanting Sun Wheel gradually faded, and it spoke calmly, "There's no need for that. Daoist Guixu and Tianxu Daoist are both of our generation. As sword masters, you naturally don't need to be of lower seniority. From now on, we can treat each other as equals."

Without much small talk, Chen Nianzhi nodded and they all returned to the ruins.

In the days that followed, they continued to refine the Netherworld Qi. After that, there were no more unexpected events, and after several years of hard work, they finally refined all the Netherworld Qi in the Netherworld Stone.

After refining the Netherworld Qi, the Netherworld Stone has been transformed back into Void Gemstone of the Spirit Treasure level, which can now be used to advance the Yin-Yang Void Mirror.

Chen Nianzhi's Five Elements Essence was insufficient, so he was temporarily unable to upgrade this natal Life-bound Spirit Treasure.

He took the Void Gemstone, then looked at the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels and said, "I intend to return to the Chu Kingdom. I wonder if you two plan to stay here for the time being, or leave with us?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible now," the Slanting Sun Wheel said calmly. "I obtained the remains of the Scarlet Flame True Lord, and I need to go into seclusion for a period of time to repair the damaged body and restore it to the power of Mid-Grade Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure."

Clear-Moon Wheel also said, "If we want to restore our power, we can only do so by serving as Array Instrument here and relying on the power of the array."

"Once you leave this place, even with the nurturing of Tier-4 Earth Vein, it will take a hundred years to regain the strength to fight, and hundreds more years to recover to your peak condition."

"I see."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. Now, there are only a little over ten years left before the next monster rampage. The Ji clan will definitely take this opportunity to kill a major enemy for their clan leader, thereby increasing his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This process will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous and chaotic; he needs to return to his clan to make preparations as soon as possible.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi said, "Then I won't stay any longer."

"..."

After bidding farewell to the two demon -Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong flew towards the Ji Continent on their swords.

As they passed through the territory of Haoran Ridge, they noticed that many cultivators were flying towards Haoran Ridge, and they all showed expressions of joy.

Chen Nianzhi pulled over a Foundation Establishment cultivator and asked with a strange expression, "It's not the day True Lord is giving a sermon, so why is everyone going to Haoran Ridge?"

"Greetings, esteemed seniors."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator sensed that the two men possessed unfathomable auras, so he quickly bowed and asked with some curiosity, "You two seniors must have been in seclusion for many years, right?"

"I'd like to inform you, senior, that True Lord Haoran broke through to the Seventh Nascent Soul Layer three years ago, becoming one of the most powerful True Lord in the Vast Expanse Hundred Continents."

Chen Nianzhi's pupils contracted slightly. She exchanged a glance with Jiang Linglong, then revealed a look of surprise.

True Lord Monarch in the Nascent Soul Late Stage possesses extraordinary strength; such a being could even defeat five True Lord single-handedly.

It is said that True Lord Haoran still has a relatively long lifespan. Now that he has broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he will be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection in the future, and there is even a glimmer of hope that he can connect with the Heaven and Earth’s Two Souls and break through to the realm of Primordial Spirit.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi also ascended Haoran Ridge to offer her congratulations to True Lord Haoran.

As soon as they reached the top of Haoran Ridge, they saw a man in blue robes fly out and say from a distance, "Who is it that requires this old man to personally greet you? It turns out to be two fellow Daoists."

The newcomer was none other than Qingling True Person, a disciple of True Lord Haoran. He smiled and grabbed Chen Nianzhi, saying, "It's only been a little over a hundred years, and you two have already cultivated to the late Golden Core stage. You truly deserve to be the top geniuses of the Ji Continent."

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

Jiang Linglong smiled slightly and said calmly, "I think you're not far from reaching the Nascent Soul realm, so I might have to start calling you 'senior' someday."

More than a hundred years have passed. Not only have Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong's cultivation levels increased dramatically, but Qingling True Person has also made rapid progress, actually advancing from the Eighth Golden Core Layer stage to the Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm go.

True Person Qingling shook his head, then said with a wry smile, "It's a pity that I failed to break through to the Nascent Soul twice, wasting two invaluable Nascent Soul Formation Pill."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh that Qingling had the advantage of having a True Person True Lord as his backer for cultivation.

That Skystar Zi had a great fortuitous opportunity. He committed all sorts of heinous acts, and only by exhausting his wealth could he obtain two Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

With the powerful Nascent Soul Late Stage Qingling True Person True Lord Haoran True Lord to take out two or three Nascent Soul Formation Pill, it wouldn't cause him serious injury.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist is not yet eight hundred years old, and your lifespan is still quite sufficient. The matter of forming a Nascent Soul should not be difficult."

"It's not that easy. I still need to take one or two Tier 4 Longevity Pill to have enough lifespan and energy to break through to the Nascent Soul realm."

True Person Qingling shook his head, but he was already quite confident. He had the aptitude of Middle-grade Golden Core cultivator, and if he obtained another Nascent Soul Formation Pill next time, his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul should be quite good.

With that thought in mind, he changed the subject and said with a smile, "You two have come here today to congratulate my master?"

"Exactly."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and handed over a jade bottle.

The True Person Qingling glanced at the bottle and discovered that it contained three precious Precious Pill, likely worth more than five million Spirit Stone.

He immediately broke into a smile, pulled Chen Nianzhi along, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you've gone to so much trouble. Please come with me."

The two followed True Person Qingling to the top of Haoran Peak and were placed in a Spirit Mountain cave.

They waited on Spirit Mountain for more than ten days until the banquet of True Lord Haoran finally began. When the two arrived at the banquet, they found that there were already tens of thousands of cultivators attending.

These people all had at least Foundation Establishment cultivation Foundation Establishment, and most of them came from the Heaven's Spine Mountains and several surrounding continents. There were even more than a dozen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators among them.

Chen Nianzhi didn't recognize many of the dozen or so True Lord, but True Person Qingling stayed by their side and introduced the True Person to them.

As he explained, Chen Nianzhi gradually understood the origins of these people.

There are twelve True Lord in total. Among these twelve True Lord, three are True Lord of the Ji Clan: Non-Night True Lord, True Lord Feiyan, and True Lord Feikong.

Chen Nianzhi, the Non-Night True Lord, naturally recognized him. This person was Earth Dao Nascent Soul, and his talent and potential were rare even among Nascent Soul.

The True Lord Feikong Kong is Human Dao Nascent Soul. It is said that he has already passed through one tribulation and lived for more than five thousand years. However, due to the limitations of the Human Dao Nascent Soul, his cultivation level is only at the Sixth Nascent Soul Layer, and he is stuck at this level and can no longer advance.
