Not only humans, but also demons and other beings who reach the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm will be suppressed by the laws of the Canglan Realm. It is extremely difficult for them to break through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement Realm in the Canglan Realm.
Even after reaching the initial stage of fusion, the chance of taking it a step further is extremely slim.
Can there still be late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in this Canglan Realm?
"The idea of a late-stage Integration Realm cultivator is just speculation, and perhaps the rumor is exaggerated. But to be able to subdue so many forces and even make the entire Western Regions submit, even without a late-stage Integration Realm cultivator, one must have other extraordinary methods," Lu Xiuwen said, such as mid-grade or high-grade immortal artifacts.
Master Dongxuan agreed with Lu Xiuwen's words. Master Dongxuan stood up and looked into the distance: "The Phoenix Alliance seems to want to unify the Canglan Realm. Their ambition is huge, and their madness is insane."
“Now that the Ancestor has re-entered the Integration Stage, I’m not worried. But other forces must be on tenterhooks right now!” Lu Xiuwen said.
He's right. Right now, whether in the Southern Region or elsewhere, all the major powers are deeply worried, all because of the Phoenix Alliance. Currently, all the major powers are considering joining forces to resist the Phoenix Alliance.
————
Seven days later.
Southern Regions, Lu Family.
Inside the main hall of Lingxiu Palace, high-ranking figures from major powers in the Southern and Northern Regions gathered to discuss resisting the Phoenix Alliance. The Phoenix Alliance's expansion of territory was simply too fast, too terrifying. Before anyone could react, they had already occupied 60% of the entire Canglan Realm.
"The Central Plains, like the Western Regions, have all submitted to the Phoenix Alliance. The situation in the Eastern Regions is also precarious, with few forces left to resist. Only our Southern and Northern Regions are in a better position right now." The speaker was Sect Master Song of the Glazed Tile Sect.
Song Yan stood behind Sect Leader Song, her gaze fixed on A Yao sitting next to Lu Xiuwen. She still couldn't believe that the Senior Jin who saved her was the same person as A Yao.
Although Song Yan is the eldest daughter of the Glazed Tile School, she doesn't have a place at this event. A Yao is different; she is the young master of the Lu family and has already reached the Void Refinement stage, so she has a place of her own.
"Feng Yao, where did this girl come from? Why was there no word about her before?" The speaker was the Palace Master of Tianshui Palace.
After the Palace Master of Tianshui Palace finished speaking, many people looked at A Yao. They had all heard that A Yao had been instructed by a Nascent Soul stage expert surnamed Feng, but A Yao had already denied that the Alliance Master of Feng had instructed her senior Feng.
The leader of Mingxin Sect said:
"According to the intelligence I have, she first appeared in the Tianshan Sect in the Central Plains. After defeating the original leader of the Tianshan Sect, she became the leader herself. Later, she formed the Phoenix Alliance with Fengtianshan, Huanmeng Sect, and Xinyue Sect."
"After that, the Phoenix Alliance began to expand its power rapidly. Strangely, not long after the Phoenix Alliance was established in the Central Continent, the Palace Master of the Phoenix Palace in the Western Regions also began to expand its power in the name of the Phoenix Alliance. Even the Rain Flower Pavilion and Qingyang Academy in the Eastern Region, the Tai Zhen Sect, Water Mist Manor, and Langya Pavilion in the Northern Region, and the Shattered Star Tower and Lingyue Palace in the Southern Region immediately began to act in the name of the Phoenix Alliance."
"Do you suspect that the Phoenix Alliance was actually established a long time ago, but only recently came to light?" The speaker was the sect leader of the Wuji Sect.
"Yes. That is indeed what I think," said the Sect Master of Mingxin Sect.
"What's the point of discussing the origins of the Phoenix Alliance now?" asked the leader of the Iron Flag Sect.
All eyes turned to Lu Xiuwen, the head of the Lu family. The Venerable Dongxuan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, was not present, but the reason why everyone chose to hold the meeting at the Lu family was because of the Venerable Dongxuan, a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Lu Xiuwen looked around at everyone and said slowly, "I think none of you here are thinking of compromising with the Phoenix Alliance, are you?"
Everyone immediately responded.
"Of course, compromise is impossible."
"The leader of the Phoenix Alliance uses the slave seal to control everyone. My Mingxin Sect will never submit to him."
"If it weren't to join forces against the Phoenix Alliance, what would I be doing here?"
"I have lived for nearly ten thousand years and have never compromised with anyone."
Upon hearing this reply, Lu Xiuwen said, "My determination is the same as yours."
The head of the Nangong family looked at Lu Xiuwen with a playful gaze, then at A Yao beside him. Nangong Qi sat next to the head of the Nangong family; he had already told the head of the Nangong family everything and had persuaded his parents to join the Phoenix Alliance.
The head of the Nangong family suddenly spoke, looking at A Yao: "What does Miss Lu Qi think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, their gazes turning to A Yao, and then to the head of the Nangong family.
Although everyone knows that Lu Xueyao of the Lu family has amazing talent and is now the young master of the Lu family, and has already entered the Void Refinement stage, the Lu family is still in charge of Lu Xiuwen. Why did the Nangong family head ask her a question?
Everyone had doubts.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ayao slowly spoke, saying, "I think..."
"Let's just surrender!"
surrender!?
What?!
Everyone stared at A Yao in disbelief, their faces changing color in shock, especially Lu Xiuwen, whose expression turned extremely ugly. He angrily rebuked, "Xiao Qi, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Miss Lu is boosting the morale of others while diminishing her own."
"You're already thinking about surrendering before even starting a fight? Is that all the backbone Miss Lu has?"
"Brother Lu, although your daughter is incredibly talented, she is indeed a bit too timid!"
"To think of surrendering without even fighting is just cowardice!"
Not only did the leaders of various powerful sects cast disdainful glances at A Yao, but the younger generation who had come with them also looked at her with contempt. Originally, A Yao's cultivation level had filled them with jealousy and envy, causing them extreme resentment. Now, they instantly consoled themselves: "Although I don't have Lu Xueyao's cultivation, I have far more backbone than her."
Standing behind Xu Lianxin, Lu Yunchuan coldly looked at A Yao and sneered, "Seventh Sister is afraid of death, she should just hide herself. How dare you say the word 'surrender'? Although I, Lu Yunchuan, do not have Seventh Sister's cultivation, I would rather die than surrender to that Phoenix Alliance. At worst, I'll just die."
Since Lu Xuening disappeared, Lu Yunchuan has been cultivating diligently for many years, and recently broke through the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage. He is now at the early Divine Transformation stage.
He hated A Yao, he resented A Yao. She could have told him about Lu Xuening's affair secretly, but she insisted on revealing it in front of his mother and the elders, and even saved the lives of Lu Ji and his lovers. She trampled on his self-esteem like this, and he hated it! He hated it immensely.
Over the years, he had been trying to change his father's opinion of him. Now, seeing Lu Xueyao say such a spineless thing as surrendering, he immediately came out to mock her and expressed his determination, hoping to make everyone look at him with new eyes.
His words indeed drew admiring glances from many high-ranking members of various sects.
A younger person even remarked:
"Though I am not talented, I am absolutely not afraid of death."
"Although I am only at the Nascent Soul stage, I would dare to fight the Phoenix Alliance leader to the death if she came."
Standing behind his parents, Gu Huaiyuan couldn't help but sneer, "I didn't expect Junior Sister Lu to be such a coward. I misjudged her."
