Divine Ability Dharma Form, a strike that severed ties, master of the Northwest, Zhang Fan's conditions

"That's right, that's right."

The Netherworld True Lord, not wanting to miss out on a good show, said, "Moyue, why don't you have a match with Fellow Daoist Qianyu?"

"Netherworld True Lord, if you're here to observe the ceremony, then stay put. If you're here to cause trouble, you've probably come to the wrong place."

"This is not your Blackwater Domain," Mu Qingfeng said sternly.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I've heard you've condensed Dharma Form Phantom, but you're probably not qualified to contend with me."

"Yeah?"

Mu Qingfeng flicked his wrist, and a Flying Sword appeared in his hand.

"The Spirit Treasure Flying Sword!" The Netherworld True Lord's pupils contracted slightly.

Is that enough?

Mu Qingfeng has now condensed his Dharma Form and is in charge of the Azure Cloud Sect Spirit Treasures. Even though he has not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul Perfection, he is already not much weaker than Netherworld True Lord and the others.

It would be extremely difficult for the Netherworld True Lord to harm Mu Qingfeng.

Moyue chuckled and said, "Netherworld True Lord, why are you silent now? Weren't you just trying to sow discord between me?"

Why don't you spar with Mu Qingfeng first and see?

As for when I will make my move: that's none of your business.

The smile vanished from the Netherworld True Lord's face, replaced by a grim expression.

But if he were to make a move carelessly, the dozen or so Great Cultivators present would likely immediately launch a coordinated attack.

No matter how strong he is, he will inevitably suffer a severe blow, and if he lacks the means to escape, he may even perish here.

"Very well, Mu Qingfeng, Moyue, I'll remember this debt."

The Netherworld True Lord remained silent.

Although the Heavenly Baleful True Lord and the Old Man Myriad Souls did not dissuade him, it was indeed possible for the Netherworld True Lord to be besieged.

They will definitely take action.

It wasn't because of personal relationships, but because of the bigger picture.

With the rapid rise of the Xu Household, the overall strength of the Blackwater Domain and Southern Heaven regions has become somewhat unbalanced.

Especially in terms of top-tier combat power.

They were happy to see the Xu Household and the Ascension Gate Life and Death, and the loss of a top expert would be a good thing for the Blackwater Domain.

But that doesn't mean they want to get involved easily.

"Fellow Daoist Netherworld, say less. After all, we're on their territory," the Old Man Myriad Souls said calmly.

Qingjun gazed quietly at Xu Chuan, "Fellow Daoist Kurong, your Xu Household is quite adept at concealing its true nature."

"It's not that I'm good at it, but that I had to do it this way in the past. Fellow Daoist Qingjun, do you really think it's easy to climb up from Foundation Establishment Lineage?"

If the powerful forces in your territory become displeased with you, your entire Lineage could be brought to ruin.

Talent and potential are meaningless until they are fully developed.

If they could resolve their mortal enemy, which of the factions present wouldn't be annihilated immediately?

They will only compromise if they are unable to destroy the enemy, thus prolonging the battle and gradually wearing them down.

However, there are also risks involved.

It is possible that one's own efforts will be wasted and destroyed.

"What you say is true... I really can't comment on it without having witnessed the growth of your Xu Household."

It also doesn't convey the same sense of urgency that your Xu Household.

Xu Chuan glanced around, his gaze finally settling on Li Qianyu. "I will explain this to everyone today."

"The Ascension Gate, my Xu Household will surely destroy it. All forces that aid the Ascension Gate are my Xu Household's enemies."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Those Great Cultivator had solemn expressions, seemingly lost in thought.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators trembled slightly, their intuition telling them to stay as far away from this matter as possible.

Li Qianyu gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Chuan, if you have the guts, come at me. Do you want to destroy my Ascension Gate?"

It will also inevitably cause your Xu Household to suffer a significant loss!

"Mr. Xu will wait and see."

The two companies openly clashed.

Qingjun, True Lord Xu Yan, and Mu Qingfeng all had serious gazes and slightly furrowed brows.

"Amitabha Buddha, why bother? We are both rulers of the Southern Heaven; if one of us is missing, it will surely cause turmoil in the Southern Heaven."

"Great monk, you're wrong," Moyue said. "Dominant Faction only emerged in the Northwest Region a few hundred years ago."

In the past, there were only four dominant powers in the Southern Heaven, which maintained a balance with the Blackwater Domain.

What impact would the loss of one Ascension Gate have on the overall situation?

Moreover, the Central Region has the strongest foundation, and among so many forces, there must be one that can replace the Ascension Gate.

It just takes a little more time.

"If all else fails, you can hand it over to my Xu Household."

The True Lord Xu Yan said, "The major overlords have an agreement that they shall not arbitrarily invade the territories ruled by other Dominant Faction."

If we lose our order, the entire Southern Heaven will likely descend into chaos.

This will only allow others to succeed.

After a pause, True Lord Xu Yan continued, "Fellow Daoist Xu, are you going to take action against the Ascension Gate today?"

"It depends." Xu Chuan smiled faintly, then said no more.

At this time.

The celestial phenomena changed again.

A vortex several hundred feet in diameter appeared in the sky above Ascension Peak.

The center of the vortex is bottomless.

A short while later.

The Spiritual Qi from within a thousand miles flocked to Ascension Peak.

A hundred-foot-tall phantom gradually appeared above Heavenly Feather True Lord.

This moment.

All eyes were drawn to that figure, and no one dared to argue anymore.

Heavenly Feather True Lord has finally completed the connection between his Divine Sense and the heavens and earth.

He opened his eyes, and a sharp glint shot out from them.

"Gather the Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power!"

Using Divine Sense as a bridge and the understanding of the Power of Heaven and Earth as its core, it continuously gathers the surrounding Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power.

Ordinary Nascent Soul would find it impossible to detect the existence of the Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power.

However, as the Heavenly Feather True Lord gathered in large numbers, even they were able to observe the existence of the Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power with their Divine Sense.

Someone murmured, "This is the Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power; even refining just a trace of it would benefit oneself."

"It is said that only the Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power can unleash the true power of Divine Ability Dharma Form and manifestations."

"Not only that," someone else said, "Breaking through to the Spirit Transformation, the Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power cleanses the Physical Body Divine Soul."

This allows the Nascent Soul to transform into Primordial Spirit, while also significantly enhancing the Physical Body.

Even if one was originally only at the Second Tier, one can still reach the Late Third Rank, the peak.

If one's physical Physical Body is not weak, one can even use this baptism to break through to the Fourth Tier.

However, the effect of the baptism of Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power is limited for Physical Bodies above the Fourth Tier.

It's mainly about the Divine Soul.

"This is just the Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power gathered by us cultivators ourselves."

Only when we truly break through to the Spirit Transformation and are recognized by Heaven and Earth will Heaven and Earth help us undergo baptism and complete the final Spirit Transformation Transformation.

However, this hurdle...

The Great Cultivator had spoken let out a soft sigh and said no more.

The gathered Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power poured into the Dharma Form Phantom of the Dharma Form Phantom gradually solidified.

This stage can be disrupted.

However, forcibly interfering with trials of heaven and earth such as Tribulation Lightning and Heart Demon Tribulations will also bring misfortune upon oneself, resulting in the arrival of trials of the corresponding level.

Xu Chuan's initial assistance to Xu Mingwei in achieving a breakthrough was also a clever tactic.

Fortunately, the main body was far away.

It was merely the annihilation of Divine Sense; if one were closer, one might have to undergo another Heart Demon Tribulation.

In addition, Xu Chuan preemptively made Xu Mingwei experience the illusion before the Heart Demon Tribulation truly began.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't constitute excessive interference.

The moment the Heart Demon made its move, his wisp of Divine Sense vanished into thin air.

"18%, close to 19%, is almost the same as mine."

However, my Kurong Profound Meaning is only one-tenth away from Transformation the True Intention into Profound Meaning.

After success, I can reach the combat power of Half-Step Spirit Transformation cultivator without using Spirit Treasures, and I can withstand the power of Spirit Treasures with my Top Divine Abilities.

However, it seems that the Greater Divine Ability skips the Profound Meaning and can touch the level of Principle once it reaches perfection.

Perhaps this is why it is so difficult to comprehend Greater Divine Ability.

While Xu Chuan was making his assessment, Qingjun and the others were also judging Heavenly Feather True Lord's understanding of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, compare it with itself.

If Heavenly Feather True Lord can achieve enlightenment in this way, then they might also be able to do it.

If that doesn't work, then to break through to the Spirit Transformation, one must have a deeper understanding than Heavenly Feather True Lord.

The Divine Ability Dharma Form solidifies very quickly at first, but slows down after it reaches 50%.

Once it reaches 70%, the speed becomes incredibly slow, like a snail's pace.

Xu Chuan, Zhang Fan, Qingjun, and Tiansha guessed that Heavenly Feather True Lord's Dharma Form condensation would stop at 80%.

The remaining 20% is like an insurmountable chasm; if it cannot be overcome, the entire process will be in vain.

It doesn't mean that the current stage will be retained.

If that's true.

Even if Heavenly Feather True Lord fails, with his 70% condensed Dharma Form, he will still far surpass Zhang Fan and Qingjun.

The three Heavenly Baleful True Lord watched Heavenly Feather True Lord break through, gaining a deeper understanding of the process of breaking through to the Nascent Spirit Transformation.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

It's like knowing what conditions are truly needed to break through to the Spirit Transformation.

Of course, the other Nascent Soul, even the Great Cultivators, did not have this feeling.

Only those powerful individuals who have a considerable understanding of the Power of Heaven and Earth can make judgments based on their own abilities.

"Let's do it, Moyue, use the Spirit Treasure directly."

"Good."

Moyue suddenly transformed into a streak of black light, and the Spirit Treasure "Azure Horn" appeared in his hand as he charged directly towards Heavenly Feather True Lord.

You dare!

Li Qianyu's attention remained focused on Xu Chuan and the others.

They immediately followed Moyue.

At the same time, it condenses into Dharma Form Phantom, and raising its hand is Superior Divine Ability of the Ascension Gate.

"Get out of my way!"

Moyue also manifested Black Dragon Phantom, and with a sweep of the black dragon's long tail, he sent Li Qianyu flying hundreds of feet away.

In a few breaths.

Moyue arrived a few miles outside of Ascension Peak and activated his Spirit Treasure.

"Azure Horn" transformed into a giant Silver-Patterned Bangle, tens of feet long, and pierced towards the phantom of Heavenly Feather True Lord.

Heavenly Feather True Lord was completely absorbed in his Divine Ability Dharma Form, leaving no time to spare.

The chest of the Dharma Form, which was more than 70% solidified, was directly pierced.

Pfft~

Heavenly Feather True Lord coughed up blood on the spot.

The Dharma Form Phantom in the air quickly dissipated.

Li Qianyu rushed to his side and asked with concern, "Senior brother, are you alright?"

My junior brother was incompetent and couldn't stop him.

"If you can stop one, can you stop a second?"

Heavenly Feather True Lord looked towards Moyue.

The Spirit Treasure "Azure Horn" had already shrunk and flown back into his hand.

"Xu Chuan sent you, why doesn't he do it himself?" Heavenly Feather True Lord said calmly.

"I alone am enough."

"Then today I'll behead you, you wicked beast!"

Heavenly Feather True Lord took out a silver Flying Sword and swung it out, unleashing a silver- Sword Ray that stretched for dozens of feet.

The Sword Ray light was incredibly powerful, showing no signs of the injury he had just sustained.

Xu Chuan's figure transformed into a dark shadow, instantly reaching several miles away.

In just a few breaths, they were already close to the battlefield.

Qingjun, Zhang Fan, Heavenly Baleful True Lord, and others followed closely behind.

Xu Chuan glanced at it a few times, then raised his hand and formed a hand seal, condensing the four seals of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Then the four seals merged into one, transforming into the new Withering-and-Blooming Divine Ability, "The Four Seasons Reincarnation".

The power of a single seal was originally only comparable to Mid-Level Divine Ability.

However, when the four seals are combined, their power surges dramatically, subtly exceeding the scope of Superior Divine Abilities.

Great Seal, over ten feet in size, was pressed towards Li Qianyu.

The unique Intent and oppressive force made him feel considerable pressure.

Moreover, the difference in their Law Power was several times greater.

Li Qianyu could only condense another Dharma Form Phantom to resist.

However, activating the illusory Dharma Form Phantom consumes a considerable amount of Law Power, while Xu Chuan only used a few ordinary Divine Abilities.

By combining and evolving these elements, they can far surpass their original rank.

The Law Power consumed is equivalent to that of casting Mid-Level Divine Ability.

Qingjun and the others did not make a move.

Heavenly Feather True Lord did not request assistance.

"I refuse to believe I can't control you!"

Moyue roared angrily, and his body surged with dark light, instantly transforming into a Flood Dragon several dozen feet long.

It can become larger.

However, for Heavenly Feather True Lord, whose strength may be slightly superior to Moyue's, growing larger would only make him a target.

The Spirit Treasure Flying Sword in his hand was no joke; it could easily slice through Moyue's scaled Physical Body.

Unless his Physical Body reaches the Peak Fourth Tier, with his Bloodline Talent, he can withstand the Spirit Treasure without being seriously injured.

If it were Fifth Tier, Heavenly Feather True Lord's Flying Sword would probably only leave a white mark when it struck the Flood Dragon's A-Plus.

Heavenly Feather True Lord dared not easily take Moyue's dragon claws or tail head-on, just as Moyue would not use his Physical Body to withstand it.

Both sides are making concessions and are constantly looking for opportunities.

When top experts clash, victory or defeat hinges on the slightest difference.

Even the slightest oversight can affect the outcome of a match.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Clang!

The clash of Divine Ability Law Treasures produced a deafening sound.

Within a radius of several hundred feet, the space was in constant turbulence, and rocks on Ascension Peak were constantly cracking.

All around, the impacts created ripples that spread outwards.

As for Li Qianyu, he used Divine Ability, Dharma Forms, and Law Treasures, which, in the eyes of outsiders, made him appear to be being tricked by Xu Chuan.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord had just fought with Xu Chuan and knew that he hadn't even fully unleashed his Top Divine Abilities.

Not to mention the Nine-Pattern Treasure Umbrella, which is comparable to Spirit Treasure, as well as the Sword Formation and the true Spirit Treasure.

In his view, without using Spirit Treasures, Xu Chuan's foundation was already unparalleled in Two Domains.

Even he himself felt he was slightly inferior.

Even more frightening is that Xu Chuan has not yet condensed his Dharma Form.

Or rather, it has been internalized, but never made public.

The other Great Cultivators, including those at the Nascent Soul, were all terrified.

Even Great Cultivator can condense Dharma Form Phantom is like a child in front of Withered Glory True Lord.

Then wouldn't we be even worse off?

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage murmured.

"Fellow Daoist Kurong's Cultivation Realm was originally weak, which is why he was once inferior to Heavenly Feather True Lord."

Mu Qingfeng said, "Now that we have reached perfection and made up for the gap, coupled with Top Divine Ability, it is normal for us to have this strength."

Moreover, his Law Power was extremely strong, seemingly far exceeding that of others in the same realm.

"Having leaped from the Middle Stage to the Nascent Soul Perfection Withered Glory True Lord encounter any bottlenecks in his Cultivation Realm?"

Ji Beichen was deeply moved.

The True Lord Xu Yan said, "If I am not mistaken, his top-tier Withering-and-Blooming Divine Ability has already reached perfection."

If he were to further condense the Kurong Dharma Form, he would surely surpass our sect's ancestor from thousands of years ago, the Withering-and-Blooming High Person."

"We should thank Mysterious Moon Fellow Daoist for his protection in our early years."

"If the Xu Household lived in other areas of Southern Heaven, I'm afraid no power would have allowed them to grow up safely until now," Qingjun said calmly.

Zhang Fan stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "Fellow Daoist Qingjun, you flatter me. The Xu Household has Fortune; they can reach this level no matter where they are."

Zhang simply went along with it.

"Aren't you afraid that the Northwest will eventually become entirely Xu Household territory?"

"The Northwest is currently divided into three parts; if he has the ability, he can unify it."

Zhang was happy to see this happen.

Based on my understanding of him, unless he is a mortal enemy, Fellow Daoist Xu will not act ruthlessly.

"Mysterious Moon Fellow Daoist is truly magnanimous," Heavenly Baleful True Lord said with a sneer.

In his view.

The unification of the Northwest was almost inevitable.

Even if the Mysterious Moon Sect and the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty join forces, they can only temporarily restrain each other.

The Mysterious Moon Sect and the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty already had conflicts.

When they joined forces, it was rumored that the Xu Household was the one who mediated between them.

Both families have a close relationship with the Xu Household.

If a joint boycott doesn't work, the Xu Household will take this step in just a few years.

Suddenly.

Xu Chuan launched a sneak attack, Heavenly Feather True Lord threw the "Azure Dragon Stele," while Li Qianyu was still restrained by his Divine Ability.

Entangled with Moyue, Heavenly Feather True Lord could only hastily release Top-Tier Magic Treasure to condense Movement Method shield.

However, the light barrier of the Top-Tier Magic Treasure was directly shattered, and the Law Treasure itself, after holding on for a few breaths, was also knocked away, its power greatly reduced.

That's it.

"The Azure Dragon Stele smashed through the Movement Method barrier of Heavenly Feather True Lord, sending him flying."

He suddenly vomited blood, and his breathing became noticeably weaker.

"Die!"

Moyue controlled the "Azure Horn" and stabbed at Heavenly Feather True Lord.

A flash of Sword Ray streaked across the sky.

The Spirit Treasure Flying Sword in Mu Qingfeng's hand knocked "Azure Horn" away.

"Mu Qingfeng, are you really willing to offend the Xu Household for the sake of the Ascension Gate?"

Moyue roared at it, its Dragon's Roar's cry shaking the heavens.

"Moyue, we were invited to attend this ceremony; there's no need for us to take their lives."

Xu Chuan stopped and looked over. "Fellow Daoist Qingjun, what do you mean?"

"I benefited greatly from this observation, and I feel indebted to Fellow Tianyu for his kindness."

"Could you please, for the sake of my Azure Cloud Sect, leave the Ascension Gate untouched today?"

"That's what I meant too," said True Lord Xu Yan. "I am indeed grateful for your kindness today."

This has shown me the threshold of the Spirit Transformation stage and the path ahead.

This debt of gratitude must be repaid.

Xu Chuan then looked at the three Heavenly Baleful True Lords.

"Fellow Daoist Kurong, don't look at us. We were not invited here by Tianyu."

Even if the gates of the Ascension Gate Sect are tightly closed, we can still break in.

"Even without lifting a finger, the three of us have already repaid the favor of those who watched."

They didn't want to get involved in Southern Heaven's own internal strife, otherwise they risked getting themselves into trouble.

Having clearly seen the first step of the Spirit Transformation, this trip was not in vain.

"Master Zhenchan, what do you mean?" Xu Chuan asked again.

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk feels that the current stable situation in Southern Heaven is hard-won, so it's best to avoid committing further killings."

"Thank you for your kind words, fellow Tianyu. I will remember this favor and repay it when I have the chance."

However, it is best that you all refrain from interfering in the feud between my Ascension Gate and the Xu Household.

Otherwise, if we anger the Xu Household, we might end up in the same situation as my Ascension Gate."

What seemed like admonition was actually a reminder that those who were in the present might very well become the next Ascension Gate.

In the past, although there were differences in strength among the major powers, none of them could gain a significant advantage.

If a major war breaks out between the two sides, the other side will inevitably suffer heavy losses as well.

As for the Mysterious Moon Sect back then...

Zhang Fan is strong, but the Mysterious Moon Sect's foundation is only rising moderately. Zhang Fan will eventually pass away.

The Mysterious Moon Sect is at most top Nascent Soul power.

To continue the reign of a dominant power, one must at least have a successor with comparable talent.

And it's quite obvious that the Mysterious Moon Sect didn't have that.

This is also why, for hundreds of years, no other overlord has ever caused trouble for the Mysterious Moon Sect.

But the Xu Household is different.

Two hundred years to become a hegemon.

Two hundred years later, there are already three or four or more Great Cultivators with combat power.

There's also Ancestor potential far surpasses that of the world's top tier.

And in just two hundred years, they have transformed this potential into strength.

By the time the Azure Cloud Sect realized what was happening, the Xu Household was no longer someone they could easily control.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Azure Cloud Sect and Void Clarity Sect are arrogant and don't pay attention to the Xu Household.

Rather, it's because the Xu Household has kept things too secret and has been gradually revealing their strength to the outside world.

They didn't perceive much of a threat.

Even Zhang Fan, who was also in the Northwest, was unaware of the Xu Household's true strength, let alone others.

After the battle in the Northwest, the Xu Household revealed most of its strength and had truly become comparable to any Dominant Faction.

Furthermore, it has formed an alliance with the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty and the Mysterious Moon Sect.

The entire Northwest is like an iron barrel.

They are no longer a Dominant Faction that can be easily offended.

They also need to assess whether they can bear the consequences of going to war with the Xu Household.

It's been delayed again and again.

Now that Xu Chuan has displayed the prowess of the top person in Southern Heaven, their hopes have vanished even further.

Once the relationship between the two parties becomes unequal, their power will gradually become estranged.

Unless they form an alliance or defect to another country.

This is true not only in Immortal Sects, but also within the Aristocratic Clan, sects, and among ordinary people.

"Fellow Daoists should have also understood the implication in Tianyu's words. Are you all going to turn a blind eye to such blatant provocation?"

"The favor I have done for those who witnessed this today must be repaid by my Azure Cloud Sect, otherwise it will be detrimental to my future cultivation."

As for what Tianyu said, it may not necessarily be provocation.

Qingjun stared at Xu Chuan and said, "But if Fellow Daoist Xu is willing to agree to one condition of mine."

"Our Azure Cloud Sect stands unconditionally with the Xu Household."

"What are the conditions?" Xu Chuan asked calmly.

He already had a guess in his heart, but he also wanted to hear it from the other party himself, so that he could have a legitimate reason to launch an attack later.

"In front of many fellow Daoists, I swear that after the Ascension Gate, the Xu Household will never interfere in matters outside the Northwest."

Once the oath is made, my Azure Cloud Sect will no longer interfere.

Even if the Xu Household were to unify the Northwest, no one would stand in their way.

"Even my Azure Cloud Sect can offer assistance."

"Fellow Daoist Qingjun, don't you think it's excessive for me to imprison my Xu Household in the Northwest?"

"This is the best way," Qingjun said. "Ascension Gate was previously the number one power in Southern Heaven."

But if he dares to attack my Azure Cloud Sect, I am confident that we will perish together.

But your Xu Household is truly frightening.

Even if I myself am not afraid, I still have to consider the future of the sect.

We old folks are still around now, and we can still stop the Xu Household for a while, but what about hundreds of years from now?

Fellow Daoist Xu, can you guarantee that the Xu Household will not plot against my Azure Cloud Sect, Void Clarity Sect, or Thunderclap Temple?

As long as you swear it, we'll all be at peace.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Yan, Master Zhenchan, is this also the intention of your two sects?"

The two looked at each other, a wry smile on their faces.

Having said all that, there was no way they could smooth things over anymore.

Because the Azure Cloud Sect alone is indeed unable to contend with the current Xu Household.

Not to mention, the Xu Household also has two powerful allies: the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty and the Mysterious Moon Sect.

"What Fellow Daoist Qingjun said is also what we are worried about."

True Lord Xu Yan said, "Considering our past Fellow Daoist Xu, if Fellow Daoist Xu makes a public oath, we can all live in peace."

"So be it, there's no such thing as a lasting friendship between powerful factions."

Xu Chuan sighed softly, "I only have one question: if in the future your Azure Cloud Sect also produces a large number of Heavenly Pride..."

They have the ability to unify the Southern Region, and even the entire Southern Heaven. Will you give up, confine yourselves to one place, and wait for the opportunity to slip away?

Or, would you make every disciple who enters the Azure Cloud Sect swear an oath never to interfere in conflicts outside the Southern Region?

Qingjun remained silent, as did True Lord Xu Yan and Master Zhenchan.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord and his companions looked on with expressions of amusement.

Little did they know that their Blackwater Domain would soon descend into chaos as well.

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.

"If Heaven grants something and you don't take it, you will suffer the consequences."

"I understand what you fellow Daoists mean. Considering our past friendship, I will let the Ascension Gate go today."

What happens next depends on individual methods.

"Alright!" Qingjun said.

"Fellow Daoist Qingjun, how can we miss such a golden opportunity? Let's join forces and capture them..."

Xu Chuan turned his head and looked at him, his gaze sharp as lightning.

A short while later.

Li Qianyu screamed in agony, blood flowing from her seven orifices.

"I'll teach you a lesson today: remember that loose lips sink ships!"

Xu Chuan's eyes were icy cold, and then he said, "Tianyu, not bad."

Mr. Xu has witnessed this today.

And Fellow Daoist Qingjun, Fellow Daoist Xu Yan, you wouldn't interfere in the power struggles within the Central Region, would you?

"Of course not." Qingjun frowned.

"I hope you keep your word, Fellow Daoist Moyue, Zhang, let's go."

Moyue put away the Spirit Treasure, flew to Xu Chuan's side, and left with the two of them.

True Lord Xuancheng and his companions followed closely behind.

However, True Lord Yuanmo, Ji Beichen, and True Lord Yuanfu all wore worried expressions.

The Three Houses factions of the Azure Cloud Sect joined forces, along with the Ascension Gate, whose top experts were still present.

They worried whether the Xu Household could withstand the pressure.

Furthermore, if the Ascension Gate were to recover, it would be a catastrophic disaster for all of them.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanmo, Fellow Daoist Beichen, Fellow Daoist Yuanfu, what are your thoughts on what just happened?"

True Lord Yuanmo said, "Heavenly Feather True Lord himself released the message to lure us here."

This was also intended to force the Azure Cloud Sect, Void Clarity Sect, and Thunderclap Temple to choose sides.

If it weren't for what happened today...

Even if the Azure Cloud Sect was wary, they shouldn't have gotten to this point so quickly.

Ji Beichen also said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanmo is right, but judging from today's situation..."

The Azure Cloud Sect and the others had long intended to unite and counterbalance the Xu Household.

"The future of Southern Heaven will likely be anything but peaceful, and it's estimated that the vast majority of Nascent Soul forces will be drawn into it."

True Lord Yuanfu sighed softly.

"What are your plans? Will you continue your alliance with the Mysterious Spirit Sect, or do you have other intentions?"

"Our First Demon Sect will not back down. We have finally waited for the opportunity to destroy the Ascension Gate."

Even if it means mutual destruction, I'm willing to do it.

But I implore Withered Glory True Lord to protect the Fire Seed my First Demon Sect, lest its lineage be extinguished.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanmo, are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"In that case, fellow Daoist, you may take some people to the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty to meet Imperial Lord You Hao."

He will give me, Xu, some face and take in the disciples of the First Demon Sect.

The Heavenly Fortune Dynasty is a mixed bag, and its predecessor was Demonic Path force, making it even more suitable for the First Demon Sect.

"Many thanks to Withered Glory True Lord."

Ji Beichen was somewhat surprised by True Lord Yuanmo's decision. He pondered for a moment and said, "Is this battle truly unavoidable?"

Moyue chuckled and said, "Do you want my Xu Household to imprison themselves in the Northwest, or can you persuade the Azure Cloud Sect to bow down?"

True Lord Xuancheng also sighed, "Fellow Daoist Beichen, even though we are both overlords, we will eventually have to determine who is superior."

If you withdraw, my Mysterious Spirit Sect will not make things difficult for the Ji Household.

"But if the Ji Household helps the Ascension Gate, and the Azure Cloud Sect comes to deal with us, then I will not consider past favors."

"This matter is of great importance, and I need to consider it carefully. Withered Glory True Lord, Fellow Daoist Xuancheng, could you perhaps grant me some time to consider?"

The True Lord Yuanfu said.

"I also need time to think about it further, after all, this doesn't just involve the Northwest, but the entire Southern Heaven."

One wrong move, and not only will you perish, but your Lineage will be wiped out.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, "Of course, but don't take too long. Once you've thought it through, just explain it to Fellow Daoist Xuancheng."

You should all understand that it wasn't easy for the Xu Household to get to where it is today. If you were in the Xu Household's situation, you would understand.

I doubt they'll give up easily.

"Of course." The three of them bowed in greeting.

Halfway there.

The three, True Lord Yuanmo, departed.

Xu Chuan and the others returned to Mysterious Spirit City.

"Withered Glory True Lord, what should be done about my Mysterious Spirit City?"

"Nascent Soul and their Nascent Soul Seeds should not go out. The Ascension Gate has received assistance from the other sects, and they might risk targeting you."

As for the Golden Core...

They all knew that even if some died, it wouldn't make the Mysterious Spirit Sect feel any real pain.

We can simply wait for news from the Xu Household.

"I see."

A short while later.

Xu Chuan, Moyue, and Zhang Fan Teleportation back to Yunxi.

"Zhang, if you're not in a hurry to go back, why don't we find a place to chat?"

"Alright." Zhang Fan stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

A private room on the second floor of a nearby Restaurant.

Zhang Fan asked directly, "What would Fellow Daoist Xu like to talk about?"

"Zhang should know that, in truth, I, Xu, also did not expect things to come to this so quickly."

"It was a bit hasty, and Tianyu might have been behind it all," Zhang Fan said. "Actually, your Xu Household shouldn't have attacked the Ascension Gate this time."

You should be able to see that even if Moyue doesn't intervene, Heavenly Feather True Lord will still be unable to complete the first step of the Spirit Transformation.

"The first step is indeed quite challenging; even in High Antiquity, it would have eliminated a large number of Nascent Soul Heavenly Pride prodigies."

Not to mention the second step of the Tribulation Lightning, which is truly a matter of life and death.

At this point, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Actually, I really want to see Tianyu undergo the Tribulation Lightning."

Given his foundation and resources, he will most likely perish under the Tribulation Lightning.

This will save a lot of trouble.

"Yes, if he had perished, things might not be like this today."

He must have calculated everything correctly.

Zhang Fan looked at Xu Chuan, "Fellow Daoist, you possess the ability to deduce Heavenly Secrets Divination; can you calculate what kind of foundation is needed to survive the Tribulation Lightning?"

"Zhang, do you really want to know?" Xu Chuan asked, "What price are you willing to pay?"

"Since the Xu Household has mastered the Fortune Secret Art, unifying the entire Northwest must be of great importance to Xu Household."

"If the Azure Cloud Sect and the others don't join forces, the Xu Household probably won't be in such a hurry."

"Zhang is indeed insightful and discerning."

"No need for flattery," Zhang Fan said earnestly. "Fellow Daoist Xu, since you've allowed them to join forces, you must be confident in your ability to fight back."

"What happened today was too sudden. You also know that my Xu Household still has a debt of Fortune over a hundred years."

We would absolutely not dare to make any rash moves within the next hundred years.

"There's only a little over a year left. If you don't give me a definite answer, I won't easily back down."

Xu Chuan was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "It's a 50/50 situation right now, but the longer it goes on, the better our chances become."

"Is it because of those Heavenly Pride generations of your Xu Household?"

Xu Chuan nodded. "Zhang, it's your turn to make a decision."

"I had long suspected this day would come, but the speed of this event still far exceeded my expectations."

I can publicly declare that the Xu Household is the Lord of the Northwest, and that the Mysterious Moon Sect will follow the Xu Household's orders during the great war.

But you must agree to three conditions.

"Zhang, please speak. Given our friendship, I can agree to anything as long as it's not too excessive."

"First, tell me how I can overcome the Spirit Transformation Tribulation Lightning."

Secondly, he promised not to deliberately send my Mysterious Moon Sect disciples and elders to their deaths.

Third, I desire three High-Grade "Nine-Revolution Profound Origin Pills," as well as Pills truly suitable for enhancing Law Power in the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

The High-Grade "Profound Void Pill" has some effect, but it is too weak.

"You've cultivated to the Nascent Soul Perfection so quickly; besides your own Talent, you must have also benefited from these kinds of Pill."
