I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 627 Another Uprising
The rear hall of the Temple of the Earth God.

Xia Daoming held a bead of blood in his hand.

The dragon's shadow swirled within the blood bead, emanating an ancient and domineering aura.

This is the essence of the true dragon blood that Cang Shunyi and others have cultivated throughout their lives.

"Compared to the essence blood bestowed by Senior Cang Yuan back then, it is still far inferior, but it is still quite rare... enough to enhance the power of the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body by a little."

He murmured softly, pressing the blood droplets into his chest.

The blood droplets transformed into the phantom of a blood dragon, slowly merging into his body.

The true dragon essence blood and half-ancestral dragon blood that Cang Yuan gave back then have long been exhausted.

The current advancement of the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body Divine Power is basically achieved through arduous cultivation based on the foundation of True Martial Divine Weapon Body Refinement.

A while ago, Xia Daoming broke through his body by using the True Martial Divine Weapon to refine his body, and successively gave birth to two divine weapons. His Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body Divine Power also rose with the tide, breaking through to the eleventh level.

Progress then slowed down.

After Xingyi captured the True Immortal of Cangfu in the battle on the upper reaches of the Jianhe River, how could Xia Daoming let go of the opportunity to force out the True Dragon's essence blood and enhance the Ancestral Dragon's Overlord Body Divine Power?

Of course, Xia Daoming would not suppress and coerce the dragon race in order to cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body Divine Power.

Although this method is quick, it goes against one's true nature and can easily lead to death and endless troubles.
A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way!

Xia Daoming will only go with the flow!

The Crimson Palace Fire burned fiercely, continuously refining the essence of the true dragon.

Strands of pure dragon blood energy rose up and merged into one.

In the side hall.

The Netherworld Flame Lord and the Crimson Flame Lord stood on the left and right, spewing out Netherworld True Fire and Solar True Fire from their mouths, enveloping Flame Feather and the five rising stars of Azure Raven Ridge.

The flames intertwined to form a purgatory, which Yanling struggled to endure while sitting cross-legged. The five rising stars had already transformed into their original fire crow forms, flapping their wings and flying about, emitting mournful cries.

To quickly overcome the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and enter the realm of True Immortal, one must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear!
The soul is tempered by the fires of the underworld, and the body is refined by the fires of the sun.

The intertwining of Yin and Yang, two great true fires, not only made their spirits and bodies stronger, but also greatly enhanced their understanding of the Way of Fire.

If it weren't for the Red Fire Crow Mother's commendable loyalty and the Green Feather Fire Crow clan's potential for development and important use, why would Xia Daoming have gone to such great lengths and effort to cultivate them?

Several days later, Princess Yaolan used Yang Water and Innate Ren Water, while True Lord Yanhuang used Nirvana Sacred Fire to help nourish and repair their injured true bodies.

A few days later, the five rising stars of Biya Ridge successively traveled to the evil miasma swamp where Xia Daoming had once undergone the tribulation of divine soldiers. They passed the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation without any major incident and were able to attain the position of True Immortal. Then they quietly returned to the Situ Temple.

His breath was deep and his spirit was radiant.

Xia Daoming, who had regained a large amount of immortal stones and various resources, sat firmly in the back hall of the Si Tu Temple, focusing on cultivation in order to enter the Five Realms as soon as possible.

Two months have passed since the battle upstream of the Jianhe River.

Seeing that the Si Tu Temple remained inactive and made no move for a long time, all parties assumed that the Si Tu Temple was content with its current situation and did not want to escalate the matter further and make enemies with many True Immortal forces.

The people also thought the turmoil had subsided.

However, on this day, a chilling aura suddenly rose into the sky from the direction of the Temple of the Earth God.

Banners fluttered in front of the temple, swords and spears stood like a forest, and the military formation was imposing.

Xingyi rode on her snow-white steed, while Lvtan and Heiling each rode iron-maned wolves on either side.

Dark clouds swirled in the sky, and six blue-feathered fire crows circled outside the clouds, emitting sharp cries.

The wind howled, and the people, pale-faced, watched this scene: "They...they really intend to continue sending troops?"

"If the Cang family has already fallen, will the Dou family also suffer?"

"The Grand Tutor is as majestic as a god, yet he dares to challenge two prefectures in succession!"

This time is different from the last.

Various forces have been paying close attention to the movements of the Si Tu Temple.

The sudden commotion at the Si Tu Temple caused a sensation not only in Yu Jian, but also among the common people, and all factions received the news from their scouts immediately.

In a short time, various forces, including many illusory immortals and true immortals, flew to the middle reaches of the Jian River to watch the battle, eager to see the true nature of the Si Tu Temple and the people behind it.

The middle reaches of the Jian River are the residence of the Dou family.

A sudden gust of mountain wind arose, and the scout fell outside the main hall: "Elder, the army has set off from the Temple of the Earth God and is heading this way!"

"How dare you! You actually dare to raise an army to attack! Send down the order: all troops must move thirty miles away from the river and form ranks to meet the enemy!" Dou Xuange's expression hardened, and he stood up abruptly, issuing the order in a stern voice.

In the last battle, the Cang family was unaware that Xingyi possessed the extraordinary treasure, the Taiyin Cold Bottle, which allowed her to manipulate the waters of the Jianhe River with Taiyin True Water. In the first exchange, all the elite troops of the central army standing on the waves of the Jianhe River were frozen solid.

Learning from past mistakes, Dou Xuange would certainly not set up an array on the Jianhe River to meet the enemy again.

Before long, the war drums of Dou Mansion thundered, and thousands of troops poured out of the camp, their banners fluttering like an iron torrent, and lined up to kill the enemy thirty miles away.

In the distance, dust billowed across the sky. The army of the Si Tu Temple, exuding murderous intent, slowly approached like a mountain pressing down.

Further away from the county town, four beams of light tore through the sky like shooting stars at dawn.

As the auspicious light approached, a middle-aged cultivator clad in silver armor, whose features bore a striking resemblance to Dou Xuange, descended. He was none other than a Fourth-Order True Immortal. Behind him followed a Second-Order True Immortal and two First-Order True Immortals.

The four of them spared no effort to expend their immortal power, riding their magical treasures at breakneck speed, and arrived ahead of the army of the Si Tu Temple.

"Brother, why have you come in person?" Dou Xuange was overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet him.

“While your troops are certainly capable of dealing with the Si Tu Temple army, we must be wary of the person behind her. That’s why the clan leader sent me here to keep watch and prevent that person from making a move. Actually, it’s not just me who’s come; my third uncle will also arrive later to oversee things from the shadows!” the silver-armored man said in a deep voice.

"Third Grand Uncle has also emerged from seclusion? Good, good! Today we must suppress that mermaid woman and her backer!" Dou Xuange's eyes revealed murderous intent.

"Given the lessons of the past, how can our Dou family repeat the mistakes of the Cang family? Hmph, in fact, not only has our Dou family sent powerful figures, but other forces will most likely also send powerful figures to observe the battle from the shadows and wait for their opportunity to act," said the silver-armored man.

“Brother is absolutely right. I think that old man Cang Hanyue has been holding back for so long, and he will definitely come secretly this time!” Dou Xuange said in a deep voice.

"Old Cang is cunning and treacherous. He has been patiently waiting for this day. Once our Dou family wins, he will show himself, take revenge legitimately, and seize the opportunity to reclaim the immortal stone mining area upstream of the Jian River. However, while his wishful thinking is brilliant, how could our Dou family be so easily swayed by Cang's scheme?" the silver-armored man said coldly.

"Does Brother mean we should also take over the Immortal Stone Mining Area upstream of the Jianhe River?" Dou Xuange's heart stirred slightly, and he blurted out.

"Otherwise, do you really think that Third Uncle came here in person only for the person behind that mermaid Si Tu? That person is ultimately just a Second-Level True Immortal. Even if he has some ability, I am confident that I can keep him in check. There is no need for Third Uncle to come out of seclusion. Third Uncle came here in person mainly for Cang Lao'er."

"That old man has already stepped halfway into the Fifth Realm, his true essence and immortal power are astonishingly strong, far beyond what I, his brother, can match. If he knows what's good for him, fine, but if he doesn't and still tries to reap the benefits, I'm afraid Third Uncle will take the opportunity to kill him and seize the entire Cang Manor," the silver-armored man said coldly.

"It is said that Cang Han Yue came from a large sea dragon clan, and for some reason, he led his clan to migrate here!" Dou Xuange said.

"Does my Dou family have no background or connections? They're all just distant relatives. If it doesn't involve any major interests, who would really care? Take the matter of Jiao Ting being wiped out earlier, for example. If it hadn't involved the immortal stone mine, would the Cang family have taken his death to heart?" the silver-armored man said coldly.

As Dou Xuange and the silver-armored man were talking, a scout came to report that the Si Tu army was only twenty miles away.

"Perfect timing!" Dou Xuange sneered, raising his hand towards a nearby immortal stone mine, and said, "Brother, why don't you take a group of men and ambush inside the mine? When I'm fighting with that woman Xingyi, you can suddenly attack, lest she escape!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking too. That woman is holding a rare treasure made of true water, and this place is near a stream, so we can't be careless!" The silver-armored man nodded, and then led several True Immortals to conceal their auras and hide in the underground mine.

　That concludes today's update.
