Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

"Activate, 'Bloodstained Spirit Corrosion Array'."

Following his order.

The hundreds of demonic cultivators who had been hovering on the edge of the battlefield and had not participated in the frontal assault suddenly sprang into action.

They took out array flags from their storage bags, each as black as ink and covered with countless twisted runes.

They planted the battle flags on the ground around the valley.

hum!
As the last battle flag fell.

The entire land of Wangyue Valley trembled violently.

Beams of black and red light shot out from the array flags, outlining a huge and sinister array on the ground.

A foul, stench, and corrosive odor emanated from the formation.

The spiritual energy in the valley quickly became turbid and violent under the erosion of this aura.

Some Qingyun Sect disciples with lower cultivation levels felt dizzy and their spiritual energy circulation became sluggish after just one breath.

"not good!"

Qin Mingyuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He could sense that this evil formation was frantically corrupting the spiritual veins beneath Wangyue Valley.

Spiritual veins are one of the foundations of a sect's protective mountain formation.

Once the spiritual veins are completely polluted, not only will the defenses of Wangyue Valley collapse, but it may even affect the operation of the entire mountain-protecting formation.

"Send half of your forces to attack those battle flags with all your might!"

Qin Mingyuan made a decisive decision and issued a new order.

However, it's too late.

The Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator with the strongest aura revealed a cruel smile.

He formed a seal with his hands and muttered words.

"Use my blood to nourish my demonic spirit!"

puff!
He spat out a mouthful of blood essence into the void in front of him.

The mass of blood essence writhed and changed in the air, eventually forming a blood-red figure identical to him, composed of pure filthy blood and demonic energy.

The aura of that blood-red figure had actually reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Go, hold him off."

The demonic cultivator pointed at Qin Mingyuan and said coldly.

The blood-red figure let out a silent roar, transformed into a streak of blood light, and charged towards Qin Mingyuan.

Meanwhile, the demonic cultivator's true form flashed to the side of the burly demonic cultivator, and the two joined forces to attack Qin Mingyuan, who was entangled by the blood-red figure.

The situation deteriorated again in that instant.

Qin Mingyuan fought against three opponents single-handedly.

He had to face the frenzied attacks of two Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators, and also had to be distracted by the harassment of the fearless, blood-red figure.

Even more deadly is that the power of the "Blood-Corroding Spirit Array" is constantly weakening him and all the Qingyun Sect disciples.

Meanwhile, those demonic cultivators seemed to thrive within this formation, their strength increasing rather than decreasing.

One goes down and the other goes up.

The light of the Aoki Battle Formation began to dim.

Disciples of the Battle Hall were constantly being attacked by demonic cultivators, suffering serious injuries or even dying on the spot.

Several gruesome wounds were also added to Qin Mingyuan's body, and blood soaked through his blue armor.

His breathing became increasingly heavy.

But the sword in his hand remained steady.

His eyes still held an indomitable fighting spirit.

"For the sect!"

Qin Mingyuan roared, completely abandoning his defenses, and his spiritual power burned wildly within him.

The cyan longsword in his hand burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light.

A sword is swung out.

The target was the strongest Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator.

He was willing to risk his life for a chance to survive.

Wangyue Valley is in grave danger.

The pressure on the main peak of Qingyun Sect suddenly increased.

Everyone knew that if Wangyue Valley fell, the three thousand demonic cultivators would be like a sharp knife, piercing deep into the heart of the sect.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

The legendary leader of the demonic cultivators, the mysterious man wearing a silver mask, has yet to appear.

He was like a venomous snake lurking in the deepest darkness, waiting for the most fatal blow.

The main peak of Qingyun Sect, in front of the mountain gate.

The air seemed to have frozen.

The massive mountain gate, hundreds of feet high, was carved from a single piece of blue rock, and its surface was shimmering with the light of an ancient array that had lasted for millennia, giving it an ancient and majestic appearance.

However, this majesty was somewhat dimmed by the two enormous auras outside the mountain gate.

The Sky-Piercing Sword Sect's cloud boat is made entirely of a silvery-white metal. Its hull is long and narrow, resembling a drawn sword, exuding a chilling aura.

The Wanbaoge Cloud Boat resembles a golden palace floating in the air, glittering with jewels and displaying its immense wealth.

Master Xuanyang remained standing with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

But behind him, several elders, led by Elder Zhou, had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

The pressure exerted by these two super sects working together is simply too great.

It wasn't just the pressure from cultivation level, but a despairing sense of oppression from the overwhelming strength of the sect.

"Sect Leader Xuan Yang, are you really sure about this?"

Li Jianyi of the Tianqing Sword Sect spoke again, his voice now tinged with impatience.

"You are probably already aware of the battle situation in Wangyue Valley on the west side."

"The strength of those demonic cultivators far exceeds our imagination. Your Qingyun Sect is now beset by internal and external troubles and is too busy to take care of itself."

"If we were to make a move now, how long do you think your Qingyun Sect's protective formation could hold out?"

His words were like invisible swords, piercing the hearts of everyone in the Qingyun Sect.

Even as he spoke, a faint yet powerful pressure, belonging to the late Nascent Soul stage, was silently released, pressing down on Xuan Yang Zhenren like a mountain.

He wanted to use this method to force Master Xuanyang to submit.

However, the mountain-like pressure vanished without a trace as soon as it approached within three feet of Xuan Yang Zhenren.

Master Xuan Yang's robes didn't even twitch.

"Elder Li, are you threatening me?"

Master Xuanyang spoke slowly, his tone remaining calm.

Li Jianyi's pupils contracted slightly.

He hadn't expected that his aura would have no effect on True Person Xuan Yang.

"Hehe, Elder Li's temper is still as fiery as ever."

Qian Wanli, the representative of Wanbaoge, stood to the side and tried to smooth things over with a smile.

His chubby face was beaming with smiles.

"Sect Leader Xuan Yang, we at Wanbaoge are business people, and we believe in making money through harmony."

"Fighting and killing only damage harmony."

"In my opinion, this matter should be resolved in a different way."

He took two steps forward, lowered his voice, and spoke with an air of seduction.

"Why don't we cooperate?"

"With your sect responsible for opening the Star Gate, my Wanbao Pavilion can provide your sect with massive resource support, including top-grade spirit stones and rare pills, enough to ensure your sect's safety during this crisis."

“We can even use the connections of Wanbaoge to ask the other major sects in the Eastern Continent to join forces and wipe out those demonic cultivators.”

"And all we need is a spot to enter the Stargate, and 30% of the resources gained after entering." "How about it?"

Qian Wanli's proposal sounded very sincere.

He was not only willing to provide resources, but also to help resolve the threat posed by the demonic cultivators. The price he asked for did not seem excessive.

The eyes of Elder Zhou and the other elders lit up instantly.

This is like a windfall.

If we can get help from Wanbaoge, the current crisis of Qingyun Sect can be easily resolved.

"Sect Leader, this method is feasible!"

Elder Zhou said excitedly.

"Cooperating with Wanbaoge will be entirely beneficial to our sect!"

However, Master Xuan Yang laughed.

It was a laugh tinged with mockery and coldness.

"Manager Qian, you've got a good plan."

His gaze, as if it could pierce through one's heart, stared directly into Qian Wanli's eyes.

"Your Wanbaoge wants more than just 30% of the resources, doesn't it?"

"You want to use this 'cooperation' to extend your reach into the interior of my Qingyun Sect."

"You are using your resources to corrupt my sect's disciples and bribe my sect's elders."

"Once the Star Gate opens, my Qingyun Sect will probably have to change its surname to Qian."

Master Xuan Yang's words were incisive and merciless.

The smile on Qian Wanli's face vanished completely, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Elder Zhou and the others' faces turned deathly pale instantly.

They then realized what a vicious trap was hidden behind this seemingly tempting offer.

"It seems there's no point in talking."

Li Jianyi snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand emitted a clear and melodious sword sound.

A soaring sword intent rose up once more, this time undisguised, aimed directly at True Person Xuanyang.

"Since Sect Leader Xuan Yang refuses to listen to reason and will instead suffer the consequences, then don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

"Today, this Star Gate belongs to my Heavenly Sword Sect!"

War is imminent.

Behind the mountain gate, all the disciples of Qingyun Sect gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with a determination to die.

However, at this moment.

Master Xuanyang moved.

He simply raised his right hand slowly.

He extended one finger.

He gently touched the soaring, incomparably sharp sword intent.

hum!
Space seemed to stand still at that moment.

A purple, seemingly insignificant point of light flew out from Xuan Yang Zhenren's fingertip.

The light spot swells as it faces the wind.

In an instant, it transformed into a thousand-foot-long, purple giant sword composed of pure lightning and sword intent.

Purple lightning crackled around the giant sword, emanating a terrifying aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

That aura had far exceeded the scope of the Nascent Soul stage.

That is... the power of the Nascent Soul stage!
Boom!

The purple, thunderous greatsword clashed violently with Li Jianyi's sharp sword intent.

There is no suspense at all.

Li Jianyi's sword intent shattered like fragile glass before the purple giant sword.

The purple, thunderous giant sword, undeterred, hovered directly above the cloud boat of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

The two enormous cloud boats trembled violently under this oppressive force, groaning as if they were about to fall from the sky at any moment.

On the cloud boat, all the disciples were pale-faced, trembling under the oppressive force, unable to even stand steadily.

Li Jianyi and Qian Wanli were struck dumb, spitting out a mouthful of blood, their eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

"Nascent Soul stage...you...you're actually a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!"

Li Jianyi's voice trembled violently with fear.

The Xuan Yang Master, whom they had always thought was just an old Taoist priest in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, was actually hiding his true abilities so well.

He was actually a super strong expert in the Nascent Soul stage!
Throughout the entire Eastern Continent, the number of publicly known Nascent Soul stage experts is extremely limited, and each one is a figure who can suppress an entire era.

They never dreamed that Qingyun Sect, a sect that seemed to be in decline, would actually be hiding such a powerful figure.

"Now, do you two still want this star gate?"

Master Xuanyang withdrew his finger and asked calmly.

The purple lightning sword that had been hanging in the sky slowly dissipated.

But that terrifying pressure, capable of destroying everything, remains etched in everyone's heart.

Li Jianyi and Qian Wanli's faces turned pale and then red, looking extremely unpleasant.

They knew they had met their match today.

With the powerful Nascent Soul stage expert, True Person Xuan Yang, in charge, it's absolutely impossible for them to forcibly seize the Star Gate.

However, they did not retreat.

They simply directed the cloud boat to retreat another hundred miles.

Those greedy eyes remained fixed on the Qingyun Sect.

They are waiting.

They were waiting for news from the group of demonic cultivators in the west.

They couldn't believe that Xuan Yang Zhenren could be distracted by such a large army of demonic cultivators.

If Qingyun Sect reveals even the slightest flaw, they will pounce on them without hesitation, like sharks smelling blood.

Master Xuanyang watched their departing figures with a deep gaze.

His attack just now, while stunning his opponent, also took a huge toll on him.

He was not a true Nascent Soul cultivator after all.

Only with the support of the sect's protective array and the sect's accumulated fortune over a thousand years could that one strike be barely unleashed.

That strike was his limit.

He, too, was waiting.

On the precipice of Waiting for Heaven, the young man on whom he placed all his hopes was able to create a miracle.

Finally, it was noon on the third day.

A magnificent spectacle, a sight rarely seen in a thousand years, appeared in the sky.

The sun, which had been blazing overhead, suddenly softened its light.

Immediately afterwards, seven dazzling stars appeared clearly in the bright sunlight.

It is the Big Dipper.

Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang.

Seven stars, aligned in the sky, shone with a brilliance even brighter and more radiant than the sun.

A vast and pure stellar power transformed into seven enormous, visible beams of light that descended from the sky and landed with perfect precision on the ancient altar atop the Heavenly Cliff.

Seven stars shine like the sun!
The perfect time to open the stargate has arrived!

"It's now!"

A glint of light flashed in Luo Qingchen's eyes.

He rapidly formed hand seals, unleashing the chaotic power within his body with unrestrained abandon. (End of Chapter)
