Chapter 868: Yuanying comes to support the Kingdom of Yue!

Chapter 865: Nascent Soul True Lords Descend, Supporting Yue Country!

Liang Yue Battlefield.

The Liang Yue War lasted for several decades due to repeated changes in the war situation.

First, Heavenly Fiend True Monarch of Liang Country’s Heavenly Fiend Sect, along with Five Poison Sect Leader and Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse from Jin Country, went to interfere with Jiang Country’s Wilderness War and were slain by Xuanjian Zhenjun, causing Liang Country to suffer a great loss of Origin Qi.

Subsequently, when the Han Sha Illusion Domain opened, Heavenly Silkworm True Lord’s Dharma body from Liang Country’s Beast God Mountain was cut down, and Altar Enchantress True Monarch from Chi Shen Sect was severely wounded, interrupting the progress of the war which was nearing a great victory.

Yue Country even took advantage of this opportunity to launch a powerful counterattack, reclaiming many territories that had been previously occupied by Liang Country.

However, Liang Country reached a cooperation with Yuan Country and invited numerous Loose Cultivator forces to divide Yue Country’s territory, escalating the war further.

If not for Xuanjian Zhenjun leading Jiang Country’s full support to resist Liang Country, Yue Country would have already collapsed in this war.

Even so, Yue Country was still at a disadvantage.

They could only rely on Nascent Soul True Lords to barely maintain the situation, constantly seeking allies and trying to find a way to end the conflict.

After seemingly enduring for a long time and accumulating sufficient strength, the Demonic Path army on Liang Country’s front line suddenly launched a full-scale assault in recent days, continuously attacking Yue Country’s front-line strongholds and major towns, causing the war to suddenly intensify.

At this very moment, Crimson Peak Immortal City.

This was a crucial Immortal City on Yue Country’s front line.

It was personally guarded by Zi Guang Zhenjun of Yue Country’s Violet Radiance Sect.

But now, a Fourth-Order Beast King covered in scales, resembling a mountain-sized giant beast, along with an endless Demonic Path army, had completely surrounded the entire Immortal City, making it impenetrable.

Various Vicious Beasts, Demonic Path Cultivators, flying boats, and Magical Artifacts were arrayed, forming battle formations, sealing off the heavens and the Void Realm, and bombarding Crimson Peak Immortal City.

In addition, above the Immortal City, there were two Nascent Soul True Lords.

They were none other than Heavenly Silkworm True Lord from Beast God Mountain and the newly Advanced Nascent Soul from Liang Country’s Shura Sect, Burning Demise True Lord!

With two Nascent Soul True Lords and a Fourth-Order Beast King cultivated through Beast God Mountain’s secret techniques, even with Zi Guang Zhenjun guarding Crimson Peak Immortal City, the Cultivators within the city felt a sense of dread.

Inside the Immortal City, Zi Guang Zhenjun sat cross-legged atop the core of the great formation, connecting and controlling the formation’s central hub.

His Nascent Soul-level magical power surged, forming streaks of brilliant purple divine light that covered the weak points of the Immortal City’s great formation.

“Heavenly Silkworm True Lord, do you think you can break through this Immortal City of mine with just this Fourth-Order Beast King?”

Zi Guang Zhenjun said expressionlessly, though inwardly he was speculating about Liang Country’s intentions behind this large-scale attack.

Although Liang Country’s strength surpassed Yue Country’s.

If Nascent Soul True Lords were to descend, with the Nascent Soul combat power of Liang Country and Yuan Country, they still couldn’t easily annihilate his Yue Country without paying a price.

“Heh heh, Zi Guang Zhenjun, you should have received the news. It’s not just your Crimson Peak Immortal City facing an attack right now, so whether it can be broken through, just wait and see.”

Heavenly Silkworm True Lord, whose corpulent body resembled a small mountain, said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zi Guang Zhenjun’s expression darkened, and he secretly speculated: “Could it be the mysterious Nascent Soul of Beast God Mountain, or the hidden mastermind, who can no longer hold back?”

As a high-ranking Nascent Soul True Lord of Yue Country, he naturally knew that Beast God Mountain was very likely to produce a third Nascent Soul True Lord.

However, compared to a newly Advanced Nascent Soul cultivator, what they feared most was the mastermind behind this Liang Yue War.

According to their extensive analysis and speculation, Liang Country’s initiation of this war and their persistent unwillingness to cease hostilities strongly suggested the involvement of an envoy from the Seven Demonic Sects behind the scenes!

It was precisely because of this mysterious mastermind, the Demonic Path envoy, that they dared not act rashly by ambushing the Nascent Soul True Lords of Liang Country and Yuan Country to end the war.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

As Heavenly Silkworm True Lord finished speaking, he and Burning Demise True Lord simultaneously attacked, bombarding the great formation of Crimson Peak Immortal City, causing the formation’s spiritual light to fluctuate wildly, flickering between bright and dim.

“The Fourth-Order Beast King is fearless, and there are two Nascent Soul cultivators, Heavenly Silkworm True Lord and Burning Demise True Lord. If we don’t receive support, this Immortal City will eventually be breached.”

Zi Guang Zhenjun looked at the current battle situation, knowing that continuously defending meant waiting for defeat, and he had to find a way to break the deadlock.

However, he was not in a hurry.

He used a secret Talisman to contact Hunyuan Zhenjun and Sword Saint Monarch, inquiring about their situations.

He asked Sword Saint Monarch, Xuanjian Zhenjun, and Caiyun Zhenjun of Jiang Country’s Qingyun Sect if they could quickly come to provide support.

“I have already sent a message to Senior Brother. As for Caiyun Zhenjun…”

Sword Saint Monarch said in a deep voice, not expecting that he would encounter a large-scale attack from Liang Country and Yuan Country just after arriving in Yue Country to replace his Senior Brother.

Although his combat power was considerable.

He was still a level below his Senior Brother, Xuanjian Zhenjun.

“Let’s wait and see for now. I have already notified True Lord Yuan Qi to come. At that time, I will be able to free up my hands to provide support.”

Hunyuan Zhenjun spoke.

In these years, his Mixed Origin Sect had poured all its efforts into successfully cultivating a second Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, this True Lord Yuan Qi had only recently broken through to Nascent Soul and had been stationed in the Sect, Cultivating his Divine Abilities and methods.

Now that the situation was urgent, Hunyuan Zhenjun had no choice but to summon him to help preside over the great formation and stabilize the situation.

As soon as True Lord Yuan Qi arrived, he would be able to free up his hands to assist Zi Guang Zhenjun in repelling Heavenly Silkworm True Lord and Burning Demise True Lord, holding out until Xuanjian Zhenjun arrived.

However, just as the three were discussing, Zi Guang Zhenjun’s expression suddenly tightened, and his gaze swept towards the distance.

He saw a surging yellow muddy wave Rolling in from the horizon, and wherever it passed, endless yin winds howled, as if myriad spirits were wailing.

As a Nascent Soul True Lord, Zi Guang Zhenjun’s eyesight was astonishing, and he instantly saw the true nature of the muddy wave.

He saw within the Yellow Springs, a tall young man stood, with Dragon horns on his head and Yellow Springs Dragon patterns coiled around his shoulders.

Beside him was a tall, exquisitely beautiful woman dressed in revealing attire, wearing only a purple bandeau and a purple mini-skirt.

“Jiaolong Shengzi, Youyue Zhenjun!”

Zi Guang Zhenjun’s pupils suddenly constricted as he recognized the two.

But the next moment, he sensed that the Qi of the two was not right.

It seemed they had both broken through to Nascent Soul!

“How is this possible!?”

Zi Guang Zhenjun couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

They had already been mentally prepared for Jiaolong Shengzi to break through to Nascent Soul.

But for both Jiaolong Shengzi and Youyue Zhenjun to break through to Nascent Soul was simply impossible, completely beyond their expectations!

Although Jiaolong Shengzi’s talent and innate abilities were astonishing, possessing great Luck, and Youyue Zhenjun also had extraordinary talent.

Where did Beast God Mountain get so many Nascent Soul resources to simultaneously Cultivate two Nascent Soul cultivators!

This was simply impossible!

“Seven Demonic Sects Emissary!?”

A thought flashed through Zi Guang Zhenjun’s mind.

The fact that both of them had reached Nascent Soul was very likely related to the mastermind behind the Liang Country war, the envoy from the Seven Demonic Sects.

For some reason, the other party found it inconvenient to act personally.

Therefore, they expended resources to Cultivate Jiaolong Shengzi and Youyue Zhenjun to Nascent Soul, thereby aiming to end this war.

In an instant, Zi Guang Zhenjun’s heart sank to rock bottom.

“Yellow Springs True Lord, Youyue Zhenjun! You’ve arrived.”

Heavenly Silkworm True Lord immediately called out with a beaming smile.

Although he and Jiaolong Shengzi and Youyue Zhenjun were both Nascent Soul cultivators from Beast God Mountain, and he was even their Senior.

He knew that Jiaolong Shengzi was highly regarded by the Superior Emissary and Nine Spirits True Lord, and his future prospects were limitless.

And Youyue Zhenjun would soon marry Jiaolong Shengzi.

Under such circumstances, he naturally wouldn’t act arrogant or put on airs as a Senior when facing them; he took the initiative to greet them.

“Greetings, Yellow Springs True Lord, Youyue Zhenjun!”

Burning Demise True Lord also did not dare to be negligent, knowing that this Yellow Springs True Lord was far superior to himself, who had broken through to Nascent Soul by forcefully overdrawing his life potential through the Shura Sect’s heritage, so he behaved very politely.

“Hmm.”

Jiaolong Shengzi crossed his arms and nodded slightly, then his pale yellow vertical pupils looked down at Crimson Peak Immortal City, and he said indifferently: “Zi Guang Zhenjun, do you dare to come out and fight?”

“In the past, you attacked me with your Nascent Soul cultivation. Now that I have broken through to Nascent Soul, I wish to experience True Lord’s Divine Ability once more!”

Since the start of the Liang Yue War, assassination attempts between the two countries had never ceased.

Once, Jiaolong Shengzi, still a Core Formation cultivator, led the Liang Country army into Yue Country and encountered Zi Guang Zhenjun.

If not for the remnants of the Yellow Springs Dragon Soul and Nine Spirits True Lord arriving to rescue him, he would have almost died at Zi Guang Zhenjun’s hands.

Now that he had broken through to Nascent Soul and his strength had greatly increased, he directly challenged Zi Guang Zhenjun, an old-brand Nascent Soul.

Zi Guang Zhenjun’s expression was solemn, his hand in his sleeve clenched tightly.

Any old-brand Nascent Soul cultivator being provoked by a junior, a newly Advanced Cultivator, in public was a great insult.

If it were any other time, he would naturally choose to go out and fight.

But now, Liang Country had four Nascent Soul cultivators on their side.

Even if Jiaolong Shengzi, Youyue Zhenjun, and Burning Demise True Lord were all newly Advanced Nascent Souls who had not broken through long ago.

With their numerical advantage, he was not confident.

Especially since Jiaolong Shengzi’s provocation was likely a ploy to lure him out of the city.

Once he was without the protection of the Immortal City’s great formation, he would be even more passive!

“Jiaolong Shengzi, Youyue Zhenjun? They’ve broken through to Nascent Soul!”

“Four Nascent Soul True Lords!”

“It’s over, it’s completely over!”

At the same time, the Cultivators in Crimson Peak Immortal City saw the Jiaolong Shengzi and Youyue Zhenjun, who had broken through to Nascent Soul, and their expressions changed, their faces filled with fear and tension.

Four Nascent Soul True Lords, who were rarely seen on weekdays, appeared all at once today.

If there were only two Nascent Soul True Lords and a Fourth-Order Beast King, with Zi Guang Zhenjun, they might still have hope of defending the city by relying on the immortal city’s grand formation.

But with four Nascent Soul True Lords, they had no idea how to defend, and only despair remained in their hearts.

“Four Nascent Soul True Lords.”

On the city wall, Lu Qingxuan, dressed in a crimson Lightning Fire Robe and holding a Scepter, also had a solemn expression as he saw the Jiaolong Shengzi and Youyue Zhenjun, who exuded a powerful pressure.

When he first came to the Yue Country front line years ago, he had heard of the great names of the Jiaolong Shengzi and Youyue Zhenjun.

However, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he was not qualified to meet them at all.

Now, he had broken through to Core Formation, achieved the status of an Immortal Master, and was qualified to be stationed in an important immortal city in Yue Country.

But when he saw these two famous Saints of Beast God Mountain again, both of them had already broken through to Nascent Soul!

Looking at the pale yellow vertical pupils of the Jiaolong Shengzi, Lu Qingxuan felt all the hairs on his body stand on end, as if he was looking at a primordial Vicious Beast.

The Lightning Fire Scepter in his hand glowed with a pale red luster, emitting a scorching Qi.

However, Lu Qingxuan felt no warmth at all, only feeling that this war was likely to spiral out of control.

And he himself might not be able to survive this war.

In a major town on the Yue Country front line.

Lu Lingxiao, dressed in a dark gold robe embroidered with dragon patterns, stood tall and straight on the high building of the city wall, gazing into the distance.

He wore a gilded mask on his face, making it impossible to see his features, only revealing a pair of pale golden eyes.

At this moment, his pale golden eyes radiated an unprecedented brilliant luster.

In the depths of his pupils, it seemed as if the sun and moon were rising and circulating.

After fusing with the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Dharma Seed, he obtained a Natal Divine Ability, the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Art.

This Divine Ability could not only discern others’ weaknesses and flaws, and influence the circulation of their magical power, but also observe the Qi flow of mountains, rivers, and the world’s Luck.

After all these years, Lu Lingxiao’s application of the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Art had long reached the pinnacle of perfection.

He could observe the Qi flow of all things in the world through the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Art, thereby discerning certain situations.

For example, when he was guarding this important town, he could use the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Art to observe and sense the movements of the Qi of military calamity and demonic malevolence, thereby judging the war situation and whether there was danger.

At this moment, he clearly sensed a highly concentrated ominous calamity Qi rushing towards him from the front.

This ominous calamity Qi far exceeded any previous Demonic Path army attack he had faced.

It was very likely that there were multiple Late Stage Core Formation cultivators!

Even if Lu Lingxiao had several top-tier Rank three Talismans and was integrated with the grand formation, he could barely contend with Late Stage Core Formation cultivators.

However, facing multiple Late Stage Core Formation cultivators would be extremely dangerous.

Just then, Lu Lingxiao’s chest suddenly felt hot, and he pulled out a red glowing Talisman.

This was a Talisman he and other Lu family disciples, such as Lu Qingxuan, used for communication and warning.

The color of the Jade Talisman indicated the level of danger.

Red glow represented the highest level of danger, a near-certain death!

“Qingxuan is in Crimson Peak Immortal City, and Zi Guang Zhenjun is stationed there, so how could there be danger?”

Lu Lingxiao looked at the red glowing Jade Talisman in his hand, then looked up ahead, his pupils shining with golden light, realizing that the battle situation had changed.

He tightly gripped the Jade Talisman in his hand, his expression extremely solemn.

Lu Qingshan was not stationed at a certain major town stronghold, but was responsible for patrol, enforcement, and support.

At this time, he received an urgent message from Jin Yang Sect.

It stated that the Nascent Soul True Lords of Liang Country and Yuan Country had already entered the fray and begun a large-scale offensive, cautioning him to act carefully and not to be overly ambitious or rashly provide support.

“Damn it, what’s going on with Liang Country? Nascent Soul True Lords are directly making a move?”

Lu Qingshan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

The Nascent Soul True Lords of Liang Country and Yuan Country had not entered the fray because they lacked absolute certainty.

After all, if a Nascent Soul battle broke out and there were even slight losses or an ambush, it would be a net loss, possibly leading to a complete defeat.

Now, the Nascent Soul True Lords of Liang Country and Yuan Country had chosen to personally enter the fray, indicating that they had absolute certainty.

Either a new Nascent Soul True Lord had been born in Liang Country, or a new Nascent Soul True Lord had come to support Yuan Country, or both countries had invited Nascent Soul-level external aid.

Regardless of which, it indicated that Yue Country was in a very dangerous situation now.

“Nascent Soul entering the fray, this is troublesome.”

Although generally, Nascent Soul True Lords would not attack Core Formation or Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But now that Nascent Soul had entered the fray, it meant the war had entered its final, heated stage, and no one could guarantee that they wouldn’t resort to any means necessary for victory.

In this situation, he was very passive.

Especially since Jin Yang Sect had no Nascent Soul True Lord, once Yue Country was defeated, Jin Yang Sect would be like meat on a chopping block.

“I wonder if Jiang Country can send support in time.”

Although Lu Qingshan did not know about the rotation between Sword Saint Monarch and Xuanjian Zhenjun, he knew the news of Caiyun Zhenjun of Qingyun Sect in Jiang Country breaking through to Nascent Soul.

If this Caiyun Zhenjun, along with Sword Saint Monarch and the Great Dream City Lord, all came to support, it would be enough to stabilize this war.

But the only problem was that Jiang Country needed a Nascent Soul True Lord to be stationed there to guard against Jin Country and Yinming Ghost Sect.

“I wonder if my father will come. If he does, he can take Xiao Zhu’er back.”

Lu Qingshan’s greatest concern was still his younger sister Lu Qingzhu’s situation.

She was currently at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Stage and was preparing for Core Formation.

Now that the Liang Yue War was intensifying and Nascent Soul True Lords were entering the fray, his younger sister definitely couldn’t attempt Core Formation here anymore; it would be best for her to go home.

“Let’s wait and see. If the situation isn’t right, I’ll go back immediately!”

Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, deciding to first observe the situation from the periphery. If things went south, he would immediately rush back to Jin Yang Sect and send his younger sister Lu Qingzhu to the rear, or to Jiang Country, Qingluan Immortal City.

Otherwise, if the front line fell, Jin Yang Sect would certainly be in great danger!

Jiang Country, Bihu Mountain, Xumi Grotto-heaven.

Lu Changsheng watched with delight as his daughter Lu Wangshu continuously refined her Golden Core, making the final push towards the Great Dao Golden Core.

Just then, he felt something, and a Jade Talisman flew out of his storage ring, displaying a line of information.

“The war in Yue Country has changed, come quickly!”

This was a message from Xuanjian Zhenjun.

Although it couldn’t provide real-time communication, it could transmit general messages, and the urgency of the matter could be categorized by the frequency and color of the message.

At this moment, the Jade Talisman flickered on and off, indicating that the matter was extremely urgent.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng frowned as he looked at the Jade Talisman in front of him.

Although both Sword Saint Monarch and Xuanjian Zhenjun had previously said that the Liang Yue War was currently in a dangerous state with more ill than good, and could erupt at any time.

But this was too fast, wasn’t it?

Lu Changsheng quickly calculated the situation in Yue Country with his fingers.

He immediately felt that Yue Country was shrouded by a Qi of military invasion, causing the Heavenly Secrets to become chaotic and the resistance to be immense.

He paused slightly in his heart and immediately used the Bloodline medium between father and children to calculate the situation of his children in Yue Country.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

The divinations for all his children were largely similar.

Fluctuating between good and ill, and mostly ill!

This meant that they were all enveloped by this war crisis, facing danger at any time!

Even though his daughter Lu Wangshu only had ten days to half a month left to completely form her Golden Core.

However, considering that it would also take time for him and Xuanjian Zhenjun to rush to Yue Country, Lu Changsheng did not wait and transmitted a message to his daughter’s Divine Soul: “Wangshu, Father has some urgent matters and needs to go now. Remember, just maintain your current state; there’s no need to be overly ambitious!”

Lu Wangshu knew that her father’s sudden departure at this time must be due to an urgent matter.

She was in a state of subtle Dao Heart, and her voice was devoid of sorrow or joy, calm as an ancient well, as she said, “Father, you can go and attend to your matters.”

After speaking, she continued to immerse herself in the Core Formation and the Fusion with her Dao Foundation, her body surrounded by shimmering Talisman patterns, profound and incomparable.

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter, took a deep breath, and his figure instantly disappeared, reappearing in Lu Miaoge’s Immortal Cave.

He told her that there was a situation with the war in Yue Country and that he needed to rush there now.

“Changsheng, what happened to Yue Country?” Lu Miaoge, seeing Lu Changsheng’s urgency, immediately asked with concern.

After all, judging by the Core Formation celestial phenomena, Lu Wangshu had not yet broken through to Core Formation, yet Lu Changsheng had set aside Lu Wangshu’s Core Formation matters, indicating extreme urgency.

And in Yue Country, there were not only his daughter Lu Qingzhu, but also Lu Qingshan, Lu Lingxiao, Lu Qingxuan, Xiao Xiyue, and others.

“The war has likely escalated and become completely heated. I’m going there now with Xuanjian Zhenjun.”

Lu Changsheng did not speak much more, telling Lu Miaoge to rest assured at home.

Then, he dripped a drop of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew onto the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, and taking Qian Zhuyan and Golden Winged Roc, he rushed towards Heaven Sword Sect.
