Heavenly Demon Sect
From the moment the Jade Demon True Monarch's soul tablet shattered, the entire sect entered a state of war preparedness.
The grand formation was activated, and disciples outside were recalled.
The combat airships are ready to take off at any moment!
However, the operation was stopped at the last minute by the Nascent Soul Ancestor and the Blood Demon Venerable.
Sharp, piercing laughter echoed through the Blood Demon Cave.
"Han Li! A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to kill an elder of my Heavenly Demon Sect... It seems that young people these days really don't even know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Penglai?! Let's see if your sect can withstand these Blood Demon Gauntlets, hehehe..."
"However... the one who should be most furious is probably that old man Tianjue! That old bastard plotted for two hundred years, only to end up doing all the work for someone else... I wonder what kind of expression he's making right now? Hehehe..."
......
Outside the gates of Penglai Mountain, the great battle continues.
Each attack from both sides unleashed sword energy that stretched for over ten miles.
The low-level cultivators who were watching the battle had all retreated to a distance of fifty miles.
Standing at a distance, apart from a faint glint of sword light, almost no human figure could be seen.
The only ones who could still see something were the Golden Core cultivators who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Between the three sects of Qingyun, Luoshui, and Heiyun, there are actually quite a few beautiful mountains and rivers.
Nine people from this family have established their own Golden Core cultivation caves in this area.
They either worshipped the Black Cloud or relied on the Azure Cloud and the Luo River.
But now, this entire area is likely to change hands...
"I never imagined that this True Monarch of Penglai Sect could fight three Nascent Soul cultivators from Chunyang Palace!"
"Hmph, this is not as simple as fighting three people. This is the famous Pure Yang Three Talents Formation, and it is the ultimate Nascent Soul formation that combines Heaven, Earth, and Man, and is worthy of the name of the Three Talents True Monarch!"
"Indeed, it is said that each of these three True Monarchs is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Even if they encounter a newly promoted early-stage Deity Transformation cultivator, they can escape unscathed. When the three of them join forces and form an array, they are no less powerful than a Deity Transformation cultivator!"
"Truly impressive! This True Lord of Penglai... can actually fight three people who are no less than Nascent Soul cultivators to a standstill..."
Of the nine people, one early-stage Golden Core cultivator remained silent.
But his gaze as he looked towards the battlefield was filled with fervor.
[It's him! Lord Han from the Purple Edge Secret Realm!]
This person is none other than Zhong Yun, who obtained the Golden Fruit in the Purple Edge Secret Realm!
At that time, Ye Feng collected the travel fee, but did not take the Golden Fruit. Instead, he chose a Golden Pill recipe.
Without a high-level alchemist, the value of a Golden Core Pill formula is negligible compared to the value of a Golden Core Fruit.
It was thanks to that Golden Fruit and his savings of many years that he was able to obtain the Golden Core and successfully form his core!
Han Li gently raised his hand, which, to him, was a stroke of divine inspiration.
Becoming a Golden Core cultivator, a rare and precious treasure that was once unattainable, can now be obtained with just a little effort.
In the past six months, his earnings have already exceeded two million spirit stones.
This already represents the majority of his accumulated wealth from the first half of his life!
He had originally planned to repay this kindness someday if he had the chance.
Unexpectedly... when they met again, "Han Li" had already become a Nascent Soul True Monarch!
He is a top-tier True Lord whom even the three of them from the Shangzong Chunyang sect could only defeat by joining forces!
Zhong Yun's initial desire to repay the debt quietly faded away, replaced by fervent admiration and worship.
"Hmph, so what if he can be compared to a cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage? That's still just a Core Formation cultivator! If he wants to establish a sect here, he'll offend the three major sects at the same time, and then he'll be fighting against a true Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"Indeed! The Venerables of the Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Sword Sects... are not as simple as those in the early Nascent Soul stage... They want to establish their own sects? I doubt it!"
Zhong Yun's eyes were filled with excitement, and he murmured to himself,
"Lord Han Zhenjun can definitely do it. Since he has established his sect here, he must be fully prepared! Look at that formation over there. Even if their attacks hit it, they can't shake it at all! With such a formation in place, even if they can't win, Nascent Soul cultivators can't kill Lord Han Zhenjun!"
Han Zhenjun?
Judging from Zhong Yun's tone, it seemed as if he knew the True Lord of Penglai.
The group immediately became interested and urged him to tell them about it.
Normally, Zhong Yun, a newly promoted early-stage Golden Core cultivator, is considered by everyone to be merely a bottom-tier individual.
He used to be the type who couldn't get a word in edgewise when people were talking, but now, because everyone is out of the loop, he's suddenly the center of attention.
"Speaking of Han Zhenjun...we have to go back to half a year ago..."
Are they blocking the entrance to the Purple Edge Secret Realm and demanding a toll from the upper sect?
Unrivaled in Foundation Establishment, a genius in array formations!
"Are you... sure the Han Li you're talking about is this True Monarch?"
"How is this possible?"
"It's more likely his elders..."
Hearing everyone's doubts, Zhong Yun also became somewhat uncertain.
Half a year...from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul!
He is a master among the Nascent Soul stage, capable of fighting three opponents at once, comparable to the Divine Transformation stage.
But Zhong Yun just felt that that calm and composed demeanor... couldn't be wrong...
"Hmph! Don't care if they are a family of array masters or not. So what if their array can withstand a Nascent Soul cultivator? If they want to establish a sect, they can only come out and accept challenges from others. What kind of sect is a sect that can only stay in an array?"
"Yes! Sect disciples always need to go out and about. If the sect's patriarch can only stay inside the formation, wouldn't others be able to attack and kill his disciples at will?"
"The top sects... are not so easy to reach. There are over a hundred mid-level sects, and some of them might even have Nascent Soul cultivators. But the top ten sects... could be wiped out. Ascending to the top is not so easy!"
...
Almost none of the cultivators present were optimistic about the newly established Penglai Sect.
Even Zhong Yun began to doubt his own judgment.
Will this really work?
If only Lord Han had chosen a mid-level sect when he first started looking for a location...
The battle in the sky continues.
The Three True Lords of Chunyang Palace are a unified force, each strike imbued with the power of all three.
If Ye Feng hadn't been holding a magical artifact, he might have suffered a loss.
Ye Feng's attacks were always blocked by the Earthly Genius True Monarch.
Their defense also relies on the combined efforts of three people.
This intense battle has been going on for almost half an hour now.
Even the Three Talents True Lord, whose magical power far surpasses that of others of the same level, is finding it somewhat difficult to cope at this moment.
In contrast, Ye Feng remained energetic and spirited.
Moreover, his swordsmanship is constantly becoming more fluid and natural.
The sword intent he had just grasped had also merged with the sword techniques.
Every move he made carried an aura of world-destroying power.
The three felt that they had never felt so frustrated, not even when facing a true Nascent Soul cultivator.
"boom!"
"Whoosh!"
After the first sword strike, the two switched positions again.
Ye Feng returned to his original position before the formation.
Meanwhile, the three pure Yang talents also stood above the flying boat.
"Han Zhenjun's strength is astonishing; I admire him!"
The square-faced genius True Lord spoke solemnly.
At this point in the battle, ordinary moves were no longer effective against Ye Feng.
This is an indisputable fact, but...
"If Han Zhenjun can withstand our next move, the three of us will call it quits!"
Looks like they're about to unleash a major attack...
Ye Feng nodded calmly as always.
It is said that Chunyang Palace has more than one Nascent Soul cultivator, while the other side only sent three Core Formation cultivators.
All things considered, they've already loosened their grip on the issue.
However, if you look closely... the Qingyun Sect itself is Ye Feng's sect.
By seeking refuge with Chunyang Palace, they received virtually no support beyond empty threats.
Since the Qingyun Sect was not forced, it wouldn't be a problem for the Chunyang Palace not to intervene!
but,
The reputation of a sect can be a matter of great importance or insignificance!
Seeing Ye Feng nod, the three of them no longer hesitated.
He pointed his longsword to the sky, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.
In an instant, the sky and the clouds changed color.
The sky, already darkening with the setting sun, became so dark that one could barely see their hand in front of their face.
All that could be seen were the three people whose bodies were shimmering with light!
It affects celestial phenomena!
This is a true strike from the Nascent Soul stage!
