Treating All Sides Fairly, Suspicions Made Public, and the State of the Northwest

"Although we can suppress those Three Houses."

However, if we reveal too much of our strength, the chances of my Xu Household being suspected will increase.

Some of those ancient Nascent Spirit Transformation might target us.

By then, we won't be in a good position.

For now, we can enjoy peace and stability for the time being.

If a crisis were to threaten the extermination of the entire clan, then lead all the people to live in Cave-Heaven.

"Father is right. No matter what, eliminating a major threat will also give the Xu Household the opportunity to continue to develop in a low-key manner."

The destruction of the Ascension Gate this time was well worth it.

Many of the Law Treasures obtained from the Ascension Gate can only be temporarily stockpiled; resources and materials are not a major issue and can be used gradually.

"You and Chonghui take good care of this matter and see what should not be revealed to the outside world."

Which resources can be used to populate the Xu Household's Treasure Vault and distributed as resources?

What else can remain in this Cave-Heaven, becoming part of the Xu Household's heritage?

"Yes, Father," Xu Mingyuan replied, bowing respectfully.

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Two days later.

Xu Chuan and Zhang Fan went to Featherfall City again.

The Ascension Gate was destroyed.

Featherfall City descended into chaos.

Several Nascent Soul cultivators within the City were locked in a fierce battle for control.

But.

At the Teleportation Plaza, order was maintained because Qingjun and the others had spoken.

Zhang Fan scanned the area with his Divine Sense and sighed, "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; it's only been a few days and it's already like this."

Before long, most of the Central Region will be vying for control of Featherfall City.

"That's normal. Whoever manages to occupy that position will establish the foundation of their Dominant Faction. If they cultivate it for over a thousand years, they might even be able to advance further."

Xu Chuan and his companion flew towards the outside of the city.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, don't you have any ideas?"

"The Mysterious Spirit Sect and the Su Household are the most likely to occupy Featherfall City in the entire Central Region."

The Su Household has kept their mountain gates closed, and almost no news has leaked out for decades.

Even when Heavenly Feather True Lord was breaking through to the Spirit Transformation, he did not appear.

I don't know what happened.

"We haven't heard from the Xu Household either. As for them, we can only wait and see."

The two soon arrived at the Ascension Gate.

The Sect-Protecting Grand Formation had not completely dissipated, but Grand Formation was riddled with holes, indicating that many people had come to see it.

After receiving a reply from Qingjun and the others, Daoist Wuchen left the place and disappeared without a trace.

The two used their Divine Senses to probe and discovered that there were actually some Golden Core cultivators wandering around Ascension Gate Mountain Gate.

They look like they're here to snag a bargain.

"It seems we're too late. Even if there are clues, they're all in Qingjun's hands, or they've already disappeared," Zhang Fan said.

"The traces of a large-scale battle between Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't dissipate so quickly unless they were deliberately cleared away."

Of course, if Qingjun and the others find it, it's possible that the other party didn't have time to clean it up or missed it.

As for who it is, that depends on what clues they have.

Zhang Fan nodded in agreement, and sighed, "A hegemon of thousands of years has become dust in history just like that."

"Fate is truly unpredictable."

"Next, I need to go to the Mysterious Spirit Sect. Would Fellow Zhang like to come along?"

"No, I'll return to my sect now."

"Good."

The two returned to Featherfall City and then parted ways.

The Su Household.

Although they had sealed off their Clan Grounds, they remained sharp-eyed and alert, and news occasionally reached Su Moyan's ears.

"Clan Brother Mo Yan, what are your thoughts on the destruction of the Ascension Gate?"

A young man dressed in a dark purple robe spoke softly; his face was handsome, and his eyes shone with a purple light.

Even the tips of her long hair were purplish.

"Clan Younger Brother Moyan, you represent the will of our Ancestor. Does my opinion matter?"

"It's not important, but you're familiar with outside affairs, so I, your Clan Younger Brother, would like to hear your thoughts."

"According to the information we received, a few days before the destruction of the Ascension Gate, Qingjun and his group clashed with Xu Chuan."

The two sides broke off relations.

Therefore, the Xu Household had this motive.

"That's the Xu family, the Xu Household who caused such heavy damage to my Su Household and the Ascension Gate."

The difference between having the ability to destroy and destroying silently is like night and day.

Can the Xu Household achieve the latter?

"It's highly unlikely, but it's not impossible, especially if they're hiding even deeper and have Spirit Transformation cultivator helping them."

Maybe we can do it.

"That makes some sense. Let's continue."

"However, I heard that Qingjun and the others went to Yunxi two days ago and returned empty-handed."

It seems they went to verify the possibility of the Xu Household.

But on that day, Xu Chuan went to the Mysterious Moon Sect to discuss with Zhang Fan the possibility of joining forces to fight against Qingjun and his group.

Furthermore, Moyue and Xu Deling also appeared immediately to resist.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the Xu Household was behind the Ascension Gate incident.

In addition, rumors circulated that Qingjun and his group possessed clues left behind by those who destroyed the Ascension Gate.

I think that after some time, they will inevitably gather many forces and release the clues publicly.

"Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, the entire Southern Heaven faction will not be at peace."

"Interesting. I'm equally curious about who did it. I'll go with you then."

"Okay," Su Moyan.

Mysterious Spirit Sect.

When True Lord Xuancheng learned of the news about the Ascension Gate, he was extremely surprised.

But without the Xu Household's orders, he dared not act rashly.

Now, Xu Chuan's arrival is to allow him to boldly and freely contend for ownership of Featherfall City.

With the resources of two immortal cities, the Mysterious Spirit Sect can further strengthen its foundation as a hegemon.

Currently, they are considered top-tier among sects of the same level.

However, it is still far from being Dominant Faction.

In particular, the accumulation of Nascent Soul Cultivators cannot be achieved overnight.

Xu Chuan returned to Yunxi.

We waited another four or five days.

Finally, they waited for the Heavenly Baleful True Lord and his group to return to the Blackwater Domain.

In less than half a day, the three of them parted ways.

After accurate calculation.

Xu Chuan entered the Cave-Heaven and, through his Mystic Spirit Clone, reached his side.

"My lord, the Heavenly Baleful True Lord is located six hundred li to the north of this place."

"Um."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly.

"This time, you will impersonate my disciple. I will use my Primordial Spirit, for we both originate from the High Antiquity Death Nether Sect."

"Should we kill the Heavenly Baleful True Lord?"

"No, he's still useful. We can severely injure him and then spread the news."

The Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Corpse Yin Sect will verify the authenticity of the information themselves.

Compared to planning for the Southern Heaven, the goal is to expand one's territory and increase one's strength in the Blackwater Domain.

They would be more interested.

After all, no one wants a power constantly looming over them.

"I will follow your instructions."

Half a day later.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord suddenly felt uneasy and immediately stopped his Escape Light, scanning his surroundings with his Divine Sense.

"Which fellow Daoist is playing a joke on this True Lord?"

"You're quite an interesting young man, so alert."

The disguised Xu Chuan and his Mystic Spirit Avatar appeared out of thin air dozens of miles away.

The deathly aura surrounding them caused Heavenly Baleful True Lord to frown slightly.

"This power is the will of death, could it be...?"

What are you doing following a junior, senior?

"Naturally, it's to finish what we didn't do last time," Xu Chuan said with a faint smile.

"Was that Avatar of you, senior, who ambushed me last time? Just who are you?"

"My Heavenly Baleful Sect is backed by Hundred Witherings Venerable. Could we please, for his sake, leave each other alone?"

Xu Chuan chuckled, and his Mystic Spirit Avatar had already made its move.

He used the Death Intent Divine Ability that the Heavenly Baleful True Lord was familiar with, but instead of the Death Intent Nether Python, he used a giant tree entwined with Death Intent.

The circumstances are different, but the essence is the same.

"I respect you as a senior, but this is not the High Antiquity times. Even Spirit Transformation cannot act arrogantly now."

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord's Sha Qi surged wildly, and he raised his hand to shatter the giant black tree that Mystic Spirit Avatar.

"Is that so? I, the Venerable One, have come in person today. Did you think it would be Avatar from last time?"

A jet-black Flying Sword appeared in Xu Chuan's hand, and with a single swing, he unleashed an attack comparable to that of Half-Step Spirit Transformation.

The black Sword Ray carried an intense aura of death, as if it would turn the surrounding area into the underworld.

"Spirit Transformation cultivator, how dare you?!"

"Aren't you afraid of incurring divine punishment?!"

Seeing the Sword Ray approaching, the Heavenly Baleful True Lord was terrified and immediately activated his Dharma Form Phantom.

Let the Dharma Form unleash its Divine Ability and activate the Law Treasure.

It took him two consecutive moves to block the Sword Ray.

"As expected of the recognized number one in the Blackwater Domain, his strength is indeed formidable, and he is already close to reaching the Half-Step Spirit Transformation cultivator."

"Why are you still hiding Spirit Treasures? Do you really think you can withstand my attack with that?"

The Mystic Spirit Avatar also repeatedly used the Death Intent Divine Ability.

However, his Divine Ability Powers are limited to the Nascent Soul Late Stage and the peak stage.

It poses a threat to the Heavenly Baleful True Lord, but it is not fatal.

Are you truly not afraid of divine retribution?

"As long as you seal your own Law Power and don't use your Divine Ability Dharma Forms, that's fine."

The Spirit Transformation form of the deity does not roam the world, truly believing it is out of fear of Lightning Punishment.

They simply disdain associating with ants.

Of course, among ants, you, Heavenly Baleful True Lord, are among the strongest.

"Shouldn't I thank you for your praise?"

A Dark Gold Law Seals appeared in the right hand of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord, his eyes filled with rage.

Why do you keep bothering me?!

"Can you guess?"

"You want to hunt down Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation?"

"He's somewhat intelligent."

Why me?!

"Naturally, the timing is right, and besides, your Physical Body is quite good. After killing you, I can refine you for several hundred years."

Perhaps we can obtain another Peak Fourth Tier Corpse Puppet.

"It seems that I, the Heavenly Baleful True Lord, am doomed today. Before I die, may I learn your name?"

"My Death Nether Sect has High Antiquity lineages. Even if you know this, what can you do about it?" Mystic Spirit Avatar sneered.

"Shut up!" Xu Chuan roared.

"Master, please calm your anger." Mystic Spirit Avatar quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Hurry up and do it!"

"Yes."

When the Mystic Spirit Avatar made its move, Xu Chuan used his Primordial Spirit's pressure to weaken Tiansha's strength.

Sensing this oppressive force that far surpassed that of Nascent Soul, Heavenly Baleful True Lord was finally convinced that the person before him was indeed a Spirit Transformation Venerable.

At the same time, when he was about to activate the Spirit Treasure, Xu Chuan used Spiritual Consciousness Secret Art.

The deathly serpent invaded the Sea of Consciousness of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

His Law Power instantly became disordered, and he failed to control the Spirit Treasure.

His body was attacked by the Mystic Spirit Avatar, his Sha Qi armor shattered, and he was sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

If his Physical Body hadn't reached the Fourth-Tier Middle Stage, this attack would probably have been enough to destroy his Physical Body.

However, his physical Physical Body is currently being extensively Death Intent Erosion.

A few breaths.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord's combat power suddenly dropped by 30%.

"This is the Divine Sense attack of Spirit Transformation Venerable. In front of their true form, we don't even have the power to fight back."

But is this person truly unafraid of incurring divine punishment?!

Xu Chuan unleashed another Sword Ray.

The True Demon Dharma Form Phantom atop it.

A moment later, the Dharma Form Phantom was shattered, turning into spiritual light and dissipating, unable to reassemble for a short time.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord was injured once again, his face as pale as snow.

The Mystic Spirit Avatar continued its relentless attacks.

The pain from the Death Intent Erosion far surpassed that from the Sha Qi, Heavenly Baleful True Lord quickly became exhausted.

He dared not use his Spirit Treasures casually, for each time he did, he would be attacked by Spiritual Consciousness Secret Art.

However, he also discovered Xu Chuan's flaws.

Spiritual Consciousness Secret Art and other attacks cannot be used simultaneously.

Therefore, he was waiting for the opponent's decisive blow.

That will be his chance to escape.

Half an hour later.

Xu Chuan said calmly, "That's enough. Let me finish him off. This Physical Body still has great use."

"Yes, Master."

The Mystic Spirit Avatar stepped aside.

"It's your luck that you died from my Quasi-Greater Divine Ability power."

Xu Chuan used his Life-and-Death Divine Ability, integrating the Life Force to unleash the power of death to its fullest extent.

The Death Intent Nether Python Transformation into a Flood Dragon.

The deathly aura surged again, reaching a certain limit.

This move has reached the level of Quasi-Greater Divine Ability power, at the beginner level.

"Now!"

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord flipped his hand and took out a Jade Talisman. He activated it with his Essence Blood, and the Tiansha condensed into a hundred-foot-long black-gold spear.

Dark Gold Flood Dragon coiled around the gun.

This is a Fifth-Tier Talisman, the trump card for Heavenly Baleful True Lord to protect himself.

Now facing Life and Death crisis, he has no choice but to use it.

"Not good!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Chuan exclaimed in surprise.

He immediately grabbed the Mystic Spirit Avatar and flew away at high speed, releasing the "Heavenly Passage Tower" to block the aftershocks of the attack.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord then took out a Fourth Tier Escape Talisman and fled tens of thousands of miles away.

The black-gold spear collided with the Netherworld Dragon in mid-air, and the terrifying impact completely destroyed the trees within a radius of Baili.

The entire hill was completely leveled.

Final.

The Netherworld Black Dragon was pinned to the ground by the black and gold spear.

Xu Chuan and Mystic Spirit Avatar were protected by the Heavenly Passage Tower and were safe and sound.

"This is probably the only Fifth-Tier Talisman card in the hands of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord; it is indeed Badao."

Its power is comparable to a strike from a Nascent Spirit Transformation.

Even without using Spirit Treasures, I would need to employ Greater Divine Ability to block it.

"The High Antiquity Death Nether Sect is enough for him to investigate, not to mention the double injury to his Physical Body and Divine Sense this time."

It will take decades to recover.

The Blackwater Domain are destined to remain turbulent.

"It still depends on how greedy the Corpse Yin Sect and the Heavenly Ghost Sect are, but they will definitely not have time to interfere with Southern Heaven in the short term."

My Xu Household destroyed the Ascension Gate, so naturally we cannot show favoritism.

"A bowl of water must be kept level."

The Mystic Spirit Avatar chuckled twice, "My true self, you've really gone to great lengths for the peace and stability of the Two Domains."

The two flattered each other, then burst into laughter.

A short while later.

After erasing all traces of the battle, the two returned to the Cave-Heaven.

Continue to comprehend the Power of Heaven and Earth, the Kurong Profound Meaning, and cultivate the Five Lightning Divine Ability.

Several days later.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord has not yet returned to the Heavenly Baleful Sect.

Rumors circulated in many parts of the Blackwater Domain that he had been severely injured and that his strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.

The news spread rapidly.

Many forces were taken aback.

When the Old Man Myriad Souls and the Netherworld True Lord heard this on their journey, they both found it absurd.

The Heavenly Baleful Sect didn't take it seriously either.

Until two days later.

Despite his injuries, Heavenly Baleful True Lord returned to the Heavenly Baleful Sect, a fact witnessed by many disciples.

Xu Dewen strictly forbade his disciples to spread the word.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord immediately went into seclusion, intending to remove the death energy from his Black Sea of Consciousness.

Unless they are removed, the injury will never heal.

Now, they are merely suppressing it by force using their cultivation level.

I don't know why.

News spread that the Heavenly Baleful True Lord had returned to the Heavenly Baleful Sect with serious injuries, suggesting a possible leak from an insider.

The Corpse Yin Sect, the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and the Joyous Union Sect were all shocked.

The Netherworld True Lord even personally went to the Heavenly Ghost Sect to find the Old Man Myriad Souls.

"Brother Myriad Souls, do you think this news is true?"

The first time it was spread, it was considered absurd, but the second time, the third time...

The news seems very detailed and reliable; there's a 60-70% chance it's true.

"Brother Myriad Souls, don't you think the Heavenly Baleful Sect has been sitting on the throne of the number one power in the Blackwater Domain for too long?"

"You want to take advantage of Tiansha's severe injuries to destroy the Heavenly Baleful Sect?"

"To completely destroy them is impossible, but weakening their strength is still possible."

"Want to take a gamble?"

"If we join forces, what will happen to the Joyous Union Sect?"

"They can join if they want, or we'll force them to remain neutral if they don't."

"Alright." The Old Man Myriad Souls nodded and said, "But before that, we need to test the Heavenly Baleful Sect again."

It was confirmed that Tiansha Sha had indeed suffered a severe injury.

Otherwise, we two might end up losing more than we gain."

"That's natural."

The Southern Heaven is not peaceful, and the Blackwater Domain is equally chaotic.

However, the news of Heavenly Baleful True Lord being severely injured did not reach Southern Heaven.

Two weeks later.

The Azure Cloud Sect sent invitations to all the top powers, Featherfall City in five days.

They discussed the matter of annihilating the Ascension Gate Sect.

If Nascent Soul True Lord is interested, they may also go and listen in.

Time flies.

Featherfall City.

Featherfall Plaza.

The Five Great Hegemons and more than twenty top forces gathered together.

The Azure Cloud Sect had arranged for people to set up the venue and set up Formation Path well in advance.

Only those at the Nascent Soul or above are allowed to enter.

Only those with invitations can sit in the seat of honor.

The rest could only listen in.

White Bone High Person, Xu Chuan, and Zhang Fan sat side by side, followed by Xu Deling and Zhang Xuanzhi.

Those with invitations may bring one person and may also be given a seat in the head seat.

Anyone else would have to sit in the audience.

"The Su Household is here too. Zhang, have you seen the person beside Su Moyan?"

Zhang Fan looked over and frowned, saying, "No, perhaps it's a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator from the Su Household."

Their Nascent Soul cultivation foundation is definitely no less than that of the dominant sects; it's perfectly normal for them to have hidden Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"Nascent Soul Middle Stage?"

"Is there a problem?"

"De Ling, what do you think?"

Xu Deling felt that Xu Chuan wouldn't say such a thing without reason, and immediately her eyes flashed with Golden Radiance.

Just then...

Su Moyan also looked at Xu Deling and gave him a wicked smile.

"Grandfather, this person is extraordinary; he has actually mastered the superior and perfected Divine Ability of concealing one's breath."

My pupil technique is not yet perfected; I cannot see through everything.

But he is definitely not in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Zhang Fan was slightly surprised, but upon looking again, he still couldn't find any flaws.

"Judging from his attitude towards Su Moyan alone, this person's strength and status are above Su Moyan, the head of the Su Lineage."

"Still above Su Moyan, could it be related to the Su Household's Spirit Transformation Ancestor?"

"Perhaps it was his direct disciple. By the way, does Zhang know anything about the Ancestor of the Su Household?"

"I don't know much, but Senior Xuanxin told me that the Spirit Transformation Ancestor of the Su Household is very mysterious."

His true strength is extremely high at the Spirit Transformation stage.

Zhang didn't know the specifics either.

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. I understand now."

After half an incense stick's time.

All the invited forces arrived.

Mu Qingfeng personally oversaw this matter.

Besides him and Qingjun, Vast Sun True Lord was also present, making them the strongest force on the surface.

"The main reason for gathering you all here today is to discuss the recent sudden destruction of the Ascension Gate."

Enough of my I, Mu, I won't say any more.

Let's get straight to the clues.

With a flick of his sleeve, numerous stones, broken magical Law Artifacts, and Law Treasures floated in mid-air.

"These are the pieces of evidence jointly found by our Azure Cloud Sect, Void Clarity Sect, and Thunderclap Temple."

Mu Qingfeng said, "Before the incident, Tianyu had asked our Three Sects for help."

Therefore, we were the first to arrive.

The time interval was only about an hour.

But in such a short time, the entire Ascension Gate was wiped out, most traces were erased, and all resources, treasures Medicine Gardens, Spirit Veins were looted.

Therefore, we can infer this.

The enemy annihilated the entire Ascension Gate in less than half an hour.

"Sha Qi, Corpse Qi, Ghost Creature Yin Qi, True Demon Qi..." someone murmured. "Could it be the work of the Blackwater Domain?"

The three of them, Heavenly Baleful True Lord, were indeed in Southern Heaven at that time.

"It's possible. With the strength of those three, if they join forces, they could still kill Heavenly Feather True Lord within half an hour."

"What about the rest? Don't forget Fellow Daoist Li, a Middle Stage Nascent Soul, and a large number of Golden Core cultivators."

"They can kill Heavenly Feather True Lord, but do they have enough time to completely wipe out the rest of the sect and loot all of Ascension Gate's resources within half an hour?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

"If it's not the Heavenly Baleful Sect, then who could it be? Perhaps they have infiltrated a large number of Nascent Soul experts into Southern Heaven."

True Lord Yuan Zhen said, "My disciples of the Void Clarity Sect personally witnessed Heavenly Baleful True Lord and the other two leaving Void Clarity City."

Of course, I don't deny that they have the ability to disguise themselves and quietly return.

Then, they returned to Heavenly Feather City via the Teleportation Formation.

Therefore, Three Sects them are suspects.

They might even Primordial True Demons.

"Able to pass through Fourth-Tier High-Grade Grand Formation silently, have any of you fellow Daoists ever heard of such a treasure or method?"

"Unheard of! True Demon Race possesses such a thing, wouldn't we all be living in constant fear?"

Qingjun said, "Please be patient, everyone. It doesn't necessarily mean it's them. It could also be some High Antiquity force."

Most of them possess the power of Spirit Transformation cultivator, have profound foundations, and are therefore capable of accomplishing such a feat.

"Spirit Transformation cultivators? Why are they like this?"

"This matter is not a secret, and some fellow Daoists have probably heard of it. There are many factions among those who have reached the Spirit Transformation."

Some advocate changing the course of the universe to allow the cultivation world to return to its High Antiquity glory.

Others prefer to maintain the status quo.

As long as no new Spirit Transformation are born, they will remain at the top.

In fact, as long as you are careful, you won't be struck by the Spirit Transformation Tribulation Lightning.

This is recorded in many ancient books.

In High Antiquity, Envoy above the Spirit Transformation stage had no Lifespan Great Limit.

However, it would be struck by Tribulation Lightning every so often.

The next Tribulation Lightning will definitely be one or two parts stronger than the last one.

If it doesn't keep breaking through.

One day they will perish under the Tribulation Lightning.

This is the balance of heaven and earth.

In the High Antiquity golden age, there were countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and numerous powerful beings above the Spirit Transformation.

But the more powerful beings there are, the greater the burden on heaven and earth.

Therefore, Tribulation Lightning only occurs above the Spirit Transformation.

Below the Spirit Transformation lies the Great Limit of Lifespan.

But this era is different. Heavenly Dao does not allow new Spirit Transformation to emerge, and resources are limited, making our breakthroughs far more difficult than in High Antiquity times.

Of course, the High Antiquity Spirit Transformation were also subject to restrictions; once they unleashed their Spirit Transformation battle power, they might trigger Tribulation Lightning.

Moreover, it is even more powerful than the Tribulation Lightning of High Antiquity times, and for them, it is a matter of life and death.

But as long as they are careful, these Spirit Transformation can live forever.

As you all know, not long ago, Heavenly Feather True Lord attempted to break through to the Spirit Transformation, but failed.

However, success is not impossible.

We suspect that this is why the Ascension Gate has suffered such a calamity.

"Fellow Daoist Qingjun, you said that the High Antiquity Spirit Transformation could not unleash their Spirit Transformation battle power. Would things be different if we broke through to the Spirit Transformation?"

"Although unconfirmed, this rumor has been circulating among Spirit Transformation for a long time, and it applies to all Spirit Transformation who have broken through in this era."

The Heavenly Dao has no limitations and can unleash its full power without restraint.

However, the rumors also say that this situation will last for a hundred years.

A hundred years later, the world has changed.

The restrictions on High Antiquity Spirit Transformation will no longer apply.

"Those High Antiquity Spirit Transformation weren't even at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage, so how can the newly promoted Nascent Spirit Transformation compete with them?"

True Lord Xu Yan said, "These are all things to be discussed later, fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry too much."

After all, in the past ten thousand years, no one has ever truly broken through to the Spirit Transformation.

Moreover, not all those who have reached the Spirit Transformation stage are bloodthirsty.

The Spirit Transformation elders of the West Boundary Palace have always followed the High Antiquity, guarding the Southern Heavens.

They have never interfered in any power struggles in Southern Heaven.

Many people nodded in agreement.

Originally, almost no one knew about the West Boundary Palace, but after the battle of the Death Sand Sea Demon Tide, the West Boundary Palace became known to everyone.

Some people even Teleportation to the edge of the Death Sand Sea, wondering if they could possibly be admitted there.

"The first two are inferences based on traces left at the scene."

Mu Qingfeng said, "Besides that, there is another possibility: it was done by the Xu Household."

As soon as he finished speaking, many cultivators looked at Xu Chuan and his companions.

"It is common knowledge that the Ascension Gate and the Xu Household have become mortal enemies, and they have their motives for this."

However, according to our investigation...

During that period Withered Glory True Lord and his companions spent almost all of their time in the Northwest.

Some people, though not showing their faces, are also in seclusion.

The most important thing is still a matter of time.

Unless, of course, the Xu Household possesses Grand Transmission Array that directly reaches the entrance of the Ascension Gate.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to annihilate the Feathered Ascension Gate and travel to various parts of the Northwest within an hour.

"This statement is indeed absurd. Even if Heavenly Feather True Lord were the most foolish, he would never allow others to Teleportation into his sect at will."

"Fellow Daoist Mu, does your Azure Cloud Sect still doubt my Xu Household?" Xu Chuan looked at Mu Qingfeng.

Mu Qingfeng remained silent, but Qingjun said, "The Xu Household is indeed highly suspicious, but it cannot be completely ruled out."

"Fellow Daoist Kurong, are you willing to publicly swear an oath with your Daoheart, stating that this matter has nothing to do with the Xu Household?"

Xu Chuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he said, "Last time, Qingjun, you asked me to swear an oath, but I refused."

Our two families have broken ties.

"If I refuse today, will your Azure Cloud Sect attack my Yunxi tomorrow?"

"Fellow Daoist Kurong is too kind."

"You're joking. If you want to suppress the Xu Household, you can do it openly."

However, it is absolutely impossible to force Xu to make Daoheart Oath.

Even if you believe that the Ascension Gate was destroyed by my Xu Household, so be it.

I'd like to test the strength of the Azure Cloud Sect against the combined forces of the Ascension Gate and the Su Household!

"Fellow Daoist Qingjun, you have indeed gone a bit too far," said True Lord Xu Yan.

Qingjun stared at Xu Chuan, then sighed softly and clasped his hands in a fist, saying, "It was my impatience; please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Kurong."

Today, we will only discuss the speculation surrounding the destruction of the Ascension Gate.

After all, there are many doubts, and unless a survivor or the murderer confesses, it will be difficult to truly identify the killer.

However, the destruction of the Ascension Gate was not a matter of a single day.

Fellow Daoists, upon your return today, you must thoroughly investigate any unfamiliar cultivators within your own territories.

Everyone's expressions were solemn.

"Now that the first thing has been said, let's talk about the second thing. The Ascension Gate was destroyed, but Featherfall City did not suffer much loss."

Many fellow cultivators are probably quite interested.

Let's discuss this matter today.

How should we negotiate? Should it be based on our strength?

"Since Featherfall City is a remnant of the Ascension Gate, it naturally belongs to the major powers in the Central Region."

Our Azure Cloud Sect proposes that forces outside the Central Region should not participate in the struggle for Featherfall City.

Whether they seized it jointly or a single force took it alone is irrelevant to the forces in other regions.

Then, Mu Qingfeng looked at Xu Chuan and the others, "Fellow Daoist Kurong and Mysterious Moon Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"

"Regarding the matter of Featherfall City, my Xu Household can refrain from interfering, but as for the rest, let's leave it at that."

I guess you're going to propose again that other forces should not interfere in the conflicts between forces in other regions.

But now that my Xu Household has come this far, we will not give up easily.

If the Azure Cloud Sect, Void Clarity Sect, and Thunderclap Temple wish to stop it, they are free to take action.

My entire Northwest is suffering.

"Mysterious Moon Fellow Daoist, aren't you going to try to persuade Fellow Daoist Kurong?"

Zhang Fan smiled faintly, "Now that all the forces Qi Quan, I have something to announce."

My Mysterious Moon Sect has decided to acknowledge the Xu Household's status Lord of the Northwest.

From now on, in matters concerning the Northwest, they will be at the Xu Household's beck and call.

"My lord and the emperor also agree," said the White Bone High Person expressionlessly.

"Acknowledging the Xu Household as the Lord of the Northwest?!"

This caused an uproar.

The other dominant sects, top forces, and even the Nascent Soul cultivators who were listening in were all shocked.

The Northwest was previously divided into three parts.

But now it is truly unified.

This means that anyone who attacks the Xu Household again will be facing the power of the entire Northwest.

Even dealing with a certain power in the Northwest requires considering the Xu Household's opinion.

If they do not agree.

Even the most powerful sects couldn't touch the Golden Core forces in the Northwest.

True Lord Xu Yan asked in astonishment, "Mysterious Moon Fellow Daoist, have you thought this through?"

"Zhang has made up his mind. Once he returns, he will formally notify all forces in the Northwest."

My Mysterious Moon Sect was previously the leader of the Northwest, but it did not make any significant contributions to the entire Northwest cultivation world.

The Xu Household excels at business development.

In just two hundred years, the weakest Azure Dragon Prefecture has been elevated to a level comparable to my Mysterious Moon Prefecture.

This demonstrates its unique strengths in this area.

Zhang firmly believes that under the leadership of the Xu Household, the entire Northwest will become increasingly prosperous.

He will catch up with the other cultivation worlds in Southern Heaven sooner or later.

Qingjun and his group looked ashen-faced. Their alliance had not yet been formally agreed upon, but the entire Northwest had already become united.

"Thank you for your trust, Zhang and Demon Heaven Fellow Daoist. My Xu Household will not let you down."

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, "Fellow Daoist Mu, Fellow Daoist Qingjun, if you have nothing else to do today, we will take our leave."

There are still many things to attend to in the Northwest.

Of course, if you intend to take this opportunity to attack my Northwest, my Xu Household will also lead all the cultivators of the Northwest to meet the enemy.

However, if the Azure Cloud Sect cannot unify the entire Southern Region cultivation world...

Don't try to scam me in Northwest China.

Faced with the overwhelming trend, even if the Three Houses Dominant Faction joined forces, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

That's all I wanted to say. Farewell!

Xu Chuan got up and left, followed by Zhang Fan, Xu Deling, White Bone High Person, Zhang Xuanzhi.

The destruction of the Ascension Gate was a major event that shook the Southern Heaven.

However, compared to the Xu Household's impending unification of the entire Northwest cultivation world, the rise and fall of a single power is utterly insignificant.

Even if it is Dominant Faction.

Xu Household makes a move, the entire Southern Heaven will follow suit.

Otherwise, given the overall situation in the Northwest, it would be impossible for one or two forces to withstand it.

"Clan Brother Mo Yan, this Xu Household is truly interesting."

Su Moyan stared at the backs of Xu Chuan and the others, his eyes flashing.

But deep within his eyes, another gaze was watching everything present.

The Xu Household should not be underestimated.

"I know there's nothing much to see at the end of the conference, let's go."

It's time for my Su Household to really get moving."

The two members of the Su Household left.

Many factions also stood up, their expressions solemn.

"Southern Heaven, the wind is about to pick up!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator murmured something under his breath.

Less than half a cup of tea.

All the forces left, leaving only the Azure Cloud Sect, the Void Clarity Sect, and the Thunderclap Temple Three Houses.
