Is this really true?

The Manifestation Bow Spirit suppressed the tremor in his heart and asked with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

If Chen Beiwu could persuade the Void Refinement Dao Venerable of his Sect to expend his energy and bestow a treasure, he might truly have a chance to return to his Peak. However, the probability of that is extremely low!

The Manifestation Bow Spirit instinctively felt doubt.

"Do you think I need to lie to you?" Chen Beiwu asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Manifestation Bow Spirit took a deep breath, a fawning smile appearing on his face:

"Could my Lord perhaps give me a little hint? Just so I can feel at ease."

"Since you don't believe me, then forget it."

Chen Beiwu took a step back, because he didn't believe that the Manifestation Bow Spirit could resist the temptation to return to its Peak.

As expected, the more nonchalant Chen Beiwu appeared, the more hesitant and uncertain the Manifestation Bow Spirit's gaze became.

After a moment's hesitation, the Manifestation Bow Spirit gritted its teeth and said softly, "Has my Lord heard of the Artifact Spirit Shared Cultivation?"

"Of course I know." Chen Beiwu smiled slightly.

It's safe!

The Artifact Spirit Shared Cultivation differs from ordinary rituals; it is a special Secret Method developed by Half-Step Void Refinement cultivator of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

This Secret Method is extremely powerful, allowing the Artifact Spirit of the Creation Treasure of creation to Shared Cultivation with the Spirit Transformation Venerable Primordial Spirit of the Nascent Soul True Venerable, their energy connected and their minds in harmony, like a second Heaven and Earth Manifestation, where the power of the artifact can be unleashed Shared Cultivation every move.

However, this kind of refining Secret Method has extremely high requirements, requiring three conditions to be met simultaneously.

First, the Artifact Spirit recognizes it and actively cooperates in performing the Secret Method.

Secondly, the Origin energy of the Creation Treasure must be compatible with the cultivator who refined it.

Third, the strength of a cultivator's Primordial Spirit must be greater than that of Creation Treasure. If this condition is not met, Secret Method must be used to suppress the Artifact Spirit power.

Therefore, in Chen Beiwu's view, the Manifestation Bow Spirit took the initiative to propose the Artifact Spirit Shared Cultivation at this time indicated that it was willing to bet on him. "Are you sure? Once the Artifact Spirit Shared Cultivation is agreed upon, there is no going back," Chen Beiwu declared in advance.

"Yes, I trust my Lord."

The Manifestation Bow Spirit bending and stretching, immediately responded to the call.

"Good."

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, his eyes signaling for the Manifestation Bow Spirit to begin.

"Buzz!"

A day and a night later, the Manifestation Bow in Chen Beiwu's hand trembled, spewing out golden and silver light, and actively connecting with his Primordial Spirit.

A sudden, unsettling feeling of being connected to someone surged into Chen Beiwu's mind.

"That simple?"

Chen Beiwu raised his hand and tried to pull the bowstring, discovering that he did not need to activate the "Divine Manifestation Dao Resonance"; he could simply pull the Manifestation Bow to its limit with a gentle pull.

"Now that I've drawn my bow to its fullest extent and activated the first two levels of the ' Ancient Huang Fallen-God Yi Heavenly Dao Instruction, ' can I shoot down Cultivation Magnate?" Chen Beiwu asked the Bow Spirit with a thought.

"No, at most we can only suppress them."

At this point, noticing Chen Beiwu's slight disdain, the Manifestation Bow Spirit quickly explained, "If I cooperate fully and unleash the power of the silver bullet, there is a certain probability that I can instantly kill Cultivation Magnate and repel Half-Step Void Refinement cultivator."

"But that would be very taxing, requiring you to enter the Dharma-Image Calamity Transformation state to coordinate."

"I see." Chen Beiwu nodded and continued, "What if you're facing a self-imposed Cultivation Magnate or Half-Step Void Refinement cultivator?"

Upon hearing such an absurd question, the Manifestation Bow Spirit was taken aback.

Half-Step Void Refinement cultivators and Cultivation Magnate are mostly focused on Void Refinement and have no time to care about worldly affairs, so why would they limit their own cultivation realm for no reason? Could it be that those self-proclaimed cultivators are crazy, complaining that their lifespan is too long, and wanting to add unnecessary difficulties to the Void Refinement stage when they eventually attain enlightenment? "The Manifestation Bow can shoot down a thousand people, let alone self-proclaimed cultivators," the Manifestation Bow Spirit said truthfully.

Having gleaned the general answer from the Manifestation Bow, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Don't resist, I'll take you somewhere." Buzz!

Before the Manifestation Bow could react, it was instantly tossed into the Chaos Heaven and Earth by Chen Beiwu.

"What the heck is this?"

Staring at the colossal Bronze gate before him, a thousand feet wide and of unknown height, radiating an ancient aura, the Manifestation Bow Spirit's eyes widened, and the spiky braid on his head swayed wildly.

No, no wonder Chen Beiwu's cultivation has progressed so quickly; it turns out he actually possesses a Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact!

The next instant, under the watchful gaze of the Manifestation Bow Spirit, the Bronze gate slowly opened, spewing forth endless Chaos light that enveloped it. February 2nd, the Dragon Raises its Head.

Southern Wild Region, Southern Yan Territory, Lu Divine Mountain.

"Bass...!"

As the loud and magnificent bell tolled, all the cultivators from the Southern Wasteland present changed their expressions slightly and looked towards the source of the sound.

The next instant, the sacred mountain, which was perpetually shrouded in mist and protected by the Creation Origin Formation, suddenly burst forth with brilliance, dispelling the mist and revealing a majestic and precipitous peak. At the summit, a series of Jade Steps led down to the Mountain Gate, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

"Lu Divine Mountain is now open. We invite all powerful figures from various sects to ascend the mountain for a meeting."

As the deep voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, the leaders of the major cultivation sects couldn't help but frown slightly, their hearts filled with apprehension.

Is this the power of Spirit Transformation Venerable?

With just a casual Primordial Spirit message, these Nascent Soul Perfection True Lord felt a deadly threat.

"Strange, it's one thing for the Mirror Moon Sect not to close its Mountain Gate, but it even dares to send its acting Sect Master to participate in this alliance meeting."

A Nascent Soul True Lord's gaze flickered as he looked in the direction of the Mirror Moon Sect's group, quite surprised.

Could it be that today's alliance meeting will encounter some setbacks?

Noticing the gazes of the powerful figures around her, Shu You remained calm, accompanied by Jiang Yuyan, Yu Pan, Mo Li, and other Sect True Lord and Elders. Before the arrival of her Lord, to ensure the Mirror Moon Sect Mountain Gate's survival, she would not have accepted the invitation to participate in this alliance meeting, even at the cost of losing face. Conversely, now that her Lord was her backer, Shu You looked at everyone else as if they were worthless, without a ripple in her heart. "Let's go, climb the mountain," Shu You said casually. "I want to see what tricks the Eight Desolations and Heavenly Saint Two Sects can pull today." "Whoosh!"

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

As Shu You activated his Escape Light to ascend the mountain, a Nascent Soul expert with high status and influence in the Southern Wild Region also followed suit.

The reason is simple: the Eight Desolations Sect and the Heavenly Saint Sect are Spirit Transformation cultivators, and they cannot afford to offend them.

The Mirror Moon Sect is a branch of the Ancient Dao Sect sect with a powerful foundation, and they cannot afford to offend it.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Nascent Soul True Lord from various sects are here today is simply to witness whether the Southern Heaven Alliance meeting will proceed smoothly, or whether the Heavenly Craft Talisman Sect and the Mirror Moon Sect will be able to join forces to reverse the situation.

Boom!

As soon as she reached the summit and entered the Mountain Gate, Shu You sensed a terrifying Might that was indescribable.

"A show of force, huh!"

Shu You's eyes flashed, and she saw Jiang Yuyan holding the Cold Origin Dragon Saber in front of her, shielding the Sect's cultivators from the terrifying Might that was both divine and demonic. As for the other cultivators of the Eight Realms of the Southern Wasteland ( those in the Profound Evolution Realm did not participate), their pupils contracted, and their gazes were all fixed on the powerful figures above the Eight Desolations Mountain Gate, their eyes filled with awe.

In the extremely barren Southern Wild Region, Nascent Soul Perfection True Lord is already a powerful figure capable of commanding First Realm, let alone Spirit Transformation Venerable who surpasses even Nascent Soul True Lord.

"Those who do not reach the Spirit Transformation will ultimately remain as insignificant as ants."

The leaders of all the sects sighed inwardly, their eyes slightly lowered, keenly sensing the absolute gap between Nascent Soul True Lord and Spirit Transformation Venerable.

Shu You's gaze swept across the sky, landing on the terrifying figure with a slender build and the rising and falling of the sun Sun and Moon around him.

Without a doubt, that figure must be the patriarch of the Eight Desolations Sect, the Eight Desolations True Venerable Ning Xuanji!

Not far from the Eight Desolations True Venerable, three cultivators stood calmly, not at a disadvantage, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

The leading cultivator was tall and imposing, wearing a magnificent Daoist robe bearing the insignia of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and possessed an elegant demeanor.

"Could this be the Heavenly Saint Sect's patriarch, Heavenly Saint True Venerable Bai Tianxing?" Shu You's mind stirred slightly, and she held her breath to avoid revealing her thoughts. "This acting Sect Master of the Mirror Moon Sect does have some courage." A glint flashed deep in Bai Tianxing's pupils.

He had already prepared for the absence of all Earth Evolution Realm Five Great Sects from this Southern Heaven Alliance meeting.

Unexpectedly, this so-called acting Sect Master of the Mirror Moon Sect has quite the audacity to lead the Sect's experts to the alliance meeting.

"The tide cannot be turned. Even if the higher-ups of the Mirror Moon Sect remain stubbornly unyielding, what can they do?"

Ning Xuanji swept his divine Divine Sense across the area, then took a step forward with an indifferent expression and slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoists, the Southern Wild Region is vast and boundless, containing Nine Realms. Our major cultivation sects have each occupied First Realm, and have not interfered with each other for eighty or ninety thousand years."

"The world in the Southern Wild Region is changing, Heaven-Severing and Earth-Isolating Grand Formation and covers the entire region is about to collapse."

At this point, Ning Xuanji paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators present:

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If the Heaven-Severing and Earth-Isolating Grand Formation Collapses, the Southern Wild Region will be connected to the Eastern Land, the Western Heaven, and the Northern Profound Domains. Can you all be confident in Guarding the One and protecting your Mountain Gate's Dao Lineage?"

Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures from various factions present fell silent.

"The Nascent Soul sects sound impressive, but compared to the top cultivation forces of the Eastern Lands, Western Heavens, and Northern Xuan Realms, they are no different from ants on the road." "A chaotic era is approaching. If you fellow cultivators wish to preserve your sects' lineages, you should cooperate to establish the Southern Heaven Alliance, sharing resources and opportunities. Only in this way can you remain safe amidst the clash of the three realms. What do you all think?"

As soon as Ning Xuanji finished speaking, the high-ranking members of the Immortal Sects affiliated with the Eight Desolations and Heavenly Saint Two Sects immediately chimed in, believing that the establishment of the Southern Heaven Alliance was imperative; otherwise, under a collapsed nest, how could any egg remain intact?

Upon seeing this scene, the leaders of all the sects turned their gazes toward the direction of the Mirror Moon Sect.

If the higher-ups of the Mirror Moon Sect do not object, the alliance can be finalized today.

Conversely, if the higher-ups of the Mirror Moon Sect object, then it will come down to who has the better skills.

To put it bluntly, whichever cultivation faction wins, the higher-ups of the various sects will decide which side to side to support.

"As expected, I was still afraid!"

Looking at the silent Shu You, an Old Man at the Nascent Soul stage sighed inwardly.

If the acting Sect Master of the Mirror Moon Sect doesn't openly oppose it, how can they take this opportunity to gain merit in front of the Sect Spirit Transformation Venerable?

"The alliance will benefit future generations and maintain stability in the Southern Wild Region."

Heavenly Saint True Venerable Bai Tianxing spoke gently, "If any fellow Daoists have any objections, they may raise them now."

"If we don't bring it up now, once the alliance is successfully approved, anyone who dares to raise objections will face my ruthlessness." Bai Tianxing looked at Shu You, his tone slightly cold.

In an instant, the high-ranking Nascent Soul Nascent Soul from various sects trembled, feeling a biting cold wind, and they all spoke up in agreement.

"The various sects in the Southern Wasteland are usually too loosely organized. It is undoubtedly a good thing that they can form an alliance and unite as a force to fight against the Eastern Land, Western Heaven, and Northern Profound Regions." Shu You's red lips parted slightly, expressing her support under Elder Mirror Moon's surprised gaze.

Then she changed the subject. "But a dragon can't walk without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head."

"Who do you all think is qualified to become the Southern Heaven Alliance Leader and preside over the overall situation in the Southern Wasteland Wilderness?"

As soon as Shu You said this, all the powerful figures from various sects looked at Ning Xuanji and Bai Tianxing.

Without Spirit Transformation Venerable realm, who would dare to compete with these two powerful Big Shot for the position of Alliance Leader?

Boom!

Just then, a powerful aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator descended, causing all the experts present to tremble.

Heavenly Art True Venerable Su Xinghe appeared, tearing through space, his voice like thunder:

"I think that's not advisable. The position of Alliance Leader is too powerful and could easily lead to chaos and unforeseen events. It would be better to elect three Alliance Leader according to the Three Origins Order to jointly manage the affairs of the Southern Wasteland."

"Absurd! How can an alliance have three Alliance Leader?" Ning Xuanji spoke indifferently, his Spirit Transformation aura overwhelming the heavens and earth, causing the Heavenly Art True Venerable to take a step back. "Indeed, Venerable Ning is right. How can the lord of a group of dragons have three heads?"

Shu You chuckled lightly, "Since you all can't reach a conclusion, why not determine a winner according to the rules of the Southern Wasteland Cultivation World? The strongest among us will naturally be the one everyone desires and will become the Southern Heaven Alliance Leader."

Su Xinghe's eyes flashed as he looked at Shu You, then laughed heartily, "That's right, Sect Master Shu is right."

"The position of Alliance Leader naturally belongs to the virtuous. Are you two perhaps afraid?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Xuanji and Bai Tianxing exchanged a glance, both sensing that something was amiss.

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Tianxing decided to follow the arrangement of that being, taking a step back and giving up his position. "I have no interest in the Southern Heaven Alliance Leader."

"If you two fellow Daoists are interested, you are welcome to have a duel and determine the victor," Bai Tianxing said with great interest.

Su Xinghe's gaze darkened slightly.

In a one-on-one fight, he is no match for the Eight Desolations True Venerable.

You may have misunderstood.

Having received instructions, Shu You spoke calmly, her gaze sweeping over the assembled experts. "Forgive my bluntness, but the position of Southern Heaven Alliance Leader cannot be held by Non-Self sect Sect Master. Who among you agrees, and who disagrees?"

These words shocked everyone present.

"Has this Female Cultivator gone mad? How dare she say such a thing in front of my sect's True Venerable!" The Nascent Soul Old Man of the Eight Desolations Sect Nascent Soul raised an eyebrow, greatly displeased. "Could it be that Chen Zi'ang, the sect Sect Master of the Mirror Moon Sect, has already attained the Spirit Transformation Venerable?" The Sect Master of the Ancient Sage Sect took a deep breath and chose to remain silent.

Su Xinghe's attitude changed drastically, and he directly stood up for the Mirror Moon Sect:

"That's right. Whether it's cultivation level or temperament and conduct, I believe the position of Southern Heaven Alliance Leader belongs to Chen Zi'ang, the Sect Master of the Mirror Moon Sect!"

"Chen Zi'ang? As the Sect Master of a sect, how dare he not even participate in this alliance meeting? What qualifications does he have to serve as the Southern Heaven Alliance Leader?"

Ning Xuanji's eyes narrowed, and he was about to speak to suppress Shu You and the other Mirror Moon cultivators when he suddenly sensed a terrifying murderous intent that made him Heaven and Earth Manifestation and nearly collapse.

Who is it?

Ning Xuanji Primordial Spirit trembled, and the dark golden figure reflected in the Heaven and Earth Manifestation behind him suddenly opened its eight eyes.

The Dharma-Form Profound Ability; the Eight Desolations Return to Silence and are suddenly activated.

Rumble!

The heavens and earth trembled, and a flash of silver light appeared, as if a star had fallen from the sky, causing the Void to crack.

Ning Xuanji's pupils contracted, a silver crack appeared on his forehead, and the eight eyes of the Dharma Image behind him slowly collapsed, losing their luster.

"Thump!"

The Dharma Image collapsed, the Spirit Transformation knelt on the ground, the spirit perished and the body died.

Seeing this unbelievable scene before them, all the cultivators from various sects felt their scalps tingle, were shocked, and stared blankly.
