Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"I must thank Fellow Daoists Liu and Lu for their help this time; otherwise, my Medicine Immortal Valley would probably have been destroyed by the evil cultivators of the Sacred Heart Sect!"

The moment the old man of ten thousand medicines finished speaking, he bowed down to Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun.

"Sect Master Yao, there's no need for that. We've only done what we should have done!"

Sui Gu Zhenjun immediately helped Wan Yao Laoren up and then said, "Our sect leader just left after Bing Lian Zhenjun, and we don't know how he is doing yet. I want to go after him and see how he is doing."

A look of worry appeared in Sui Gu Zhenjun's eyes. Although Qian Lian Zhenjun had indeed fled, he was still afraid that something might go wrong.

"Now that the crisis of my Medicine Immortal Valley has been resolved, I will accompany you to find Sect Master He!" the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines said immediately.

Lu Cheng'an had no objections either. He, along with Sui Gu Zhenjun and Wan Yao Laoren, sped off in the direction Qiong Miao Zhenjun had left.

Lu Cheng'an and his two companions had only been gone from the gate of Yaoxian Valley for a short while when they saw Qiongmiao Zhenjun returning.

"Sect Master, what's the situation?" True Monarch Suigu asked.

"Ice Scythe True Monarch had a Small Teleportation Talisman on him, and he used it to escape!" Qiongmiao True Monarch said helplessly.

The Minor Teleportation Talisman is a talisman involving spatial power, and its crafting is extremely difficult.

At least in Qingzhou, Hezhou, and Taizhou, there are currently no spirit talisman masters who can refine this type of talisman.

The small teleportation talisman in Ice Scythe True Monarch's hand is either an accumulation from the Sacred Heart Sect or an opportunity that Ice Scythe True Monarch obtained.

"Sect Master Yao, the Holy Heart Sect cultivators who attacked your Medicine Immortal Valley are almost completely wiped out. Now that True Monarch Ice Scythe has escaped, I'm afraid the Holy Heart Ancestor will soon receive the news."

A solemn expression appeared on Qiongmiao Zhenjun's face. She said in a deep voice, "I have already informed Wanjian Zhenjun of the situation here. Now we need to head to Tianjian Sect, so we will be leaving now!"

The news that the cultivators, including Ice Scythe True Monarch, who attacked Medicine Immortal Valley were killed by them must have already reached the Holy Heart Ancestor's knowledge, and the Holy Heart Ancestor will definitely do something else.

The reason why True Monarch Wenjian sent True Monarch Qiongmiao to the Heavenly Sword Sect at this time was to discuss how to deal with the attack from the Sacred Heart Sect.

"Sect Leader He, please be careful. I will head to the Heavenly Sword Sect once I have finished dealing with the sect's affairs!" said the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun nodded slightly. Without wasting any time, she summoned the Cloud-Crossing Shuttle and led Lu Cheng'an and Suigu Zhenjun towards the direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

As True Monarch Qiongmiao had said, True Monarch Binglian had already informed Ancestor Shengxin of the matter concerning Medicine Immortal Valley.

After receiving the message from Ice Scythe True Monarch, the Sacred Heart Ancestor immediately led the cultivators of the Sacred Heart Sect to evacuate from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

After they had traveled some distance from the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Holy Heart Ancestor led the sect's Nascent Soul cultivators ahead and rushed to the Purple Sun Sect.

The current situation has exceeded the expectations of the Sacred Heart Ancestor. His current decision is to gather the strength of the Sacred Heart Sect to destroy the Purple Sun Sect.

After plundering the wealth of the Ziyang Sect, he led the sect's cultivators directly back to the Shengxin Sect.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect, including Sword Inquiry True Monarch, did not immediately guess the intentions of the Holy Heart Ancestor. After the Holy Heart Ancestor left, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect, including Sword Inquiry True Monarch, began to deal with various matters after the war.

Although the Heavenly Sword Sect is the most powerful Nascent Soul sect in Qingzhou and Hezhou, it also bears the greatest pressure.

The Holy Heart Ancestor's strength is too formidable. He is single-mindedly attacking the Heavenly Sword Sect. Although he has not yet been able to break through the Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain gate, he has brought great pressure to the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect, including True Monarch Wenjian, also suffered some injuries.

After the Holy Heart Ancestor withdrew from the Heavenly Sword Sect, True Monarch Wenjian immediately informed True Monarch Qiongmiao of the news, instructing them to be careful on their journey.

"The Holy Heart Ancestor led the cultivators of the Holy Heart Sect to withdraw from the Heavenly Sword Sect. Has the Holy Heart Ancestor given up?" True Monarch Suigu exclaimed in surprise.

“The Holy Heart Ancestor has been preparing for so long and has joined forces with the Butterfly Demon King of the Hong'e Mountains. Now, the Holy Heart Sect has only suffered a setback in the Medicine Immortal Valley, and its overall strength has not been greatly affected. The Holy Heart Ancestor should not give up so easily!” Lu Cheng’an said with a frown.

"Why did the Holy Heart Ancestor withdraw from the Heavenly Sword Sect at this time? What exactly does the Holy Heart Ancestor want to do?" True Monarch Suigu asked in a deep voice.

"They want to gather their forces to attack the Ziyang Sect. I just received a message from the Tianjian Sect. They discovered that the Sacred Heart Ancestor and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect are rushing to the Ziyang Sect!"

A solemn expression appeared on Qiongmiao Zhenjun's face. The Ziyang Sect was stronger than the Medicine Immortal Valley, but the difference was still quite limited.

Currently, there are six Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect attacking the Purple Sun Sect, with the leader being a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Holy Heart Ancestor led eight Nascent Soul cultivators from the Holy Heart Sect, along with five rogue Nascent Soul cultivators from Taizhou, totaling fourteen Nascent Soul cultivators, in an attack on the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Heavenly Sword Sect has a total of seven Nascent Soul cultivators. With the addition of four rogue Nascent Soul cultivators, including True Monarch Youshui, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Heavenly Sword Sect has increased to eleven.

They still have three fewer members than the Sacred Heart Sect.

Moreover, the individual strength of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sacred Heart Sect, such as the Sacred Heart Ancestor, is stronger than that of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It is precisely because of this that even though the Heavenly Sword Sect has the advantage of geographical location, its situation is already extremely dangerous.

Now, the Holy Heart Ancestor is leading his thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators toward the Purple Sun Sect. If these Nascent Soul cultivators are added to the six Nascent Soul cultivators who were already attacking the Purple Sun Sect, then the number of Nascent Soul cultivators will reach a terrifying twenty.

The Ziyang Sect has only five Nascent Soul cultivators in total, and there is no Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator in charge.

Even if they rely on the sect's protective mountain formation for defense, they probably won't be able to hold out for long.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect wants us to go to the Purple Sun Sect to provide support first. They will arrive immediately. Should we do as the Heavenly Sword Sect says?" True Monarch Qiongmiao asked in a deep voice.

"Sect Master, you must think this through! We absolutely cannot appear in the sight of the Sacred Heart Sect before the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect show up!"

Sui Gu Zhenjun's face showed a hint of anger. He quickly said, "This time, we disrupted the Sacred Heart Sect's plans. If the Sacred Heart Ancestor discovers our existence, he will probably be the first to attack us and kill us to vent his anger!"

“Fellow Daoist He, I think Fellow Daoist Liu’s words make a lot of sense. We should stay in the border area between Medicine Immortal Valley and Ziyang Sect, and wait until the cultivators of Heavenly Sword Sect arrive at Ziyang Sect before we enter Ziyang Sect’s territory!” Lu Cheng’an said.

He had no good feelings towards the Ziyang Sect, and his willingness to help the Ziyang Sect this time was only because he did not want to see the Shengxin Sect grow too powerful.

However, he would never risk his life to support the Ziyang Sect right now. True Monarch Qiongmiao actually shared the same thought as Lu Cheng'an; if she wanted to support the Ziyang Sect at this time, she wouldn't have asked for their opinions.

“What you say makes a lot of sense. The three of us are too weak. Even if we go to the Ziyang Sect now, it won’t make any difference.”

Qiongmiao Zhenjun glanced at Lu Chengan and Suigu Zhenjun, and continued, "Let's do as Fellow Daoist Lu said. We'll stop after we reach the border area between Yaoxian Valley and Ziyang Sect, and then head to Ziyang Sect after Tianjian Sect arrives there."

After agreeing on their terms, Qiongmiao Zhenjun led Lu Cheng'an and the other person on a rapid journey towards the Ziyang Sect.

They stopped when the three of them arrived at the border area between Ziyang Sect and Yaoxian Valley.

The Sacred Heart Ancestor and the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sacred Heart Sect moved extremely fast. Lu Cheng'an and his two companions stopped for less than half a quarter of an hour before the Sacred Heart Ancestor led his thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators to the Purple Sun Sect.

After that, the Holy Heart Ancestor ordered an attack on the Ziyang Sect.

Faced with such an attack from a multi-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sacred Heart Sect, the Ziyang Sect had no ability to resist at all.

In fact, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ziyang Sect abandoned their thoughts of resistance after seeing the arrival of the Holy Heart Ancestor; they wanted to surrender to the Holy Heart Sect.

Perhaps due to excessive anger, the Holy Heart Ancestor did not accept the surrender of the Ziyang Sect, but instead ordered the destruction of the Ziyang Sect.

What happened next was no surprise. Faced with the siege of twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect, the Ziyang Sect, despite having a protective mountain array as support, could only hold out for a short while before the array was breached.

Five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ziyang Sect, including True Monarch Ziyun, were instantly killed by Nascent Soul cultivators such as Ancestor Shengxin.

The Holy Heart Ancestor also did not spare the cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm of the Ziyang Sect, and he directly ordered the entire Ziyang Sect to be slaughtered.

After destroying the Ziyang Sect, the Sacred Heart Ancestor offered up an earth-yellow pearl.

This earth-yellow pearl is called the Earth Spirit Vein Pearl, and it is a rare treasure.

It can draw upon the power of earth veins and spiritual veins, among other things.

This is a treasure that the Holy Heart Ancestor prepared for his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm. According to the Holy Heart Ancestor's plan, he intends to extract all the earth veins and spiritual veins of Qingzhou and Hezhou using the Earth Spirit Vein Pearl.

Unfortunately, the situation has changed now, and he may only be able to draw power from the earth veins and spiritual veins of the Ziyang Sect.

The power of the Earth Spirit Vein Pearl is extremely terrifying. After the Holy Heart Ancestor activated this extraordinary treasure, the power it released instantly enveloped the entire Ziyang Sect.

At this moment, the power of the earth veins and spiritual veins that had been cultivated within the Ziyang Sect for many years was being rapidly drawn out by the power released by the Earth Spirit Vein Pearl.

Of course, it wasn't just the power of the earth veins and spiritual veins; the power contained in the corpses of the deceased Ziyang Sect cultivators, as well as the power of the spiritual herbs and grains planted within the Ziyang Sect, were all completely drained by the Earth Spirit Vein Pearl.

As the Earth Spirit Vein Pearl absorbs more and more power, the area covered by this extraordinary treasure also expands, and the extraction speed also increases.

Just as the once spiritually rich Ziyang Sect's mountain gate was about to become a place devoid of spiritual energy, True Monarch Wenjian led the cultivators of the Tianjian Sect to Ziyang Sect.

After discovering the situation at the Ziyang Sect, True Monarch Wenjian did not hesitate and immediately led the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tianjian Sect to swiftly retreat from the Ziyang Sect.

The Ziyang Sect has already been destroyed by the Shengxin Sect, so even if they rush into the Ziyang Sect now, it will be of no use.

After the cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect left, True Monarch Wenjian immediately informed True Monarch Qiongmiao of the situation at the Purple Sun Sect, instructing True Monarch Qiongmiao to go to the Medicine Immortal Valley at once.

The Sacred Heart Sect has already destroyed the Purple Sun Sect, and their next target is likely to be the Medicine Immortal Valley.

The Sword Inquiry True Monarch witnessed the actions of the Sacred Heart Ancestor. This time, the Sacred Heart Ancestor launched an attack on them in order to plunder resources.

The resources of Ziyang Sect, a Nascent Soul sect, are certainly not enough to satisfy the Holy Heart Ancestor, and he will most likely continue to target Yaoxian Valley.

After receiving the message from Wenjian Zhenjun, Qiongmiao Zhenjun did not waste any time and rushed to Yaoxian Valley with Lu Chengan and Suigu Zhenjun.

At this time, the cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley had also received news of the destruction of Ziyang Sect. When the Nascent Soul cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley, including Elder Wanyao, saw Lu Cheng'an and his two companions arrive, they immediately asked them about the destruction of Ziyang Sect.

"We don't know the specifics of what happened. We only learned that the Ziyang Sect had been destroyed by the Sacred Heart Sect after receiving a message from True Monarch Wenjian!"

Qiongmiao Zhenjun looked at Wanyao Laoren with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "Wenjian Zhenjun is worried that Shengxin Ancestor will lead the Nascent Soul cultivators of Shengxin Sect to Yaoxian Valley. He told us to prepare for battle. Wenjian Zhenjun will also be arriving soon with the Heavenly Sword Talisman!"

The Heavenly Sword Talisman is a low-grade fifth-order secret treasure. This treasure can unleash a sharp sword aura comparable to the full-force attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages. It is the most treasured artifact of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

This was left behind by a Nascent Soul Realm predecessor of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Sect has another secret treasure like the Heavenly Sword Talisman.

Although the Sacred Heart Sect is extremely powerful now, it has never produced a Nascent Soul cultivator, so its foundation is far inferior to that of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Heavenly Sword Talisman is the most precious treasure of the Heavenly Sword Sect. If it weren't for the ruthless actions of the Holy Heart Ancestor in destroying the Purple Sun Sect, the Sword Inquiry True Monarch would not have thought of using this secret treasure.

"It's actually a Heavenly Sword Talisman! I never expected the Heavenly Sword Sect to have such a profound foundation!" the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines exclaimed in surprise.

He obviously knew what the Heavenly Sword Talisman was, but what surprised him was that the Heavenly Sword Sect had such a profound foundation.

The situation of Haoyang Sect is similar to that of Tianjian Sect; their ancestors also produced cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

The Haoyang Sect currently possesses a secret treasure called the Haoyang Mirror.

The Haoyang Mirror was originally a natal magic weapon refined by a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Haoyang Sect. When that Nascent Soul cultivator of the Haoyang Sect passed away, Qingzhou and Hezhou had already lost contact with the outside world.

In order to preserve the power for the Haoyang Sect's self-preservation, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Haoyang Sect reforged their natal magic treasures into secret treasures.

Even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can activate the Haoyang Mirror in its treasured state, but it consumes the power accumulated by the Haoyang Mirror over many years.

Once the power accumulated in the Haoyang Mirror is exhausted, this treasure will need to spend an extremely long time to recharge its power.

The Haoyang Sect and the Heavenly Sword Talisman are the foundation of their power; they will only use them in a life-or-death situation. (End of Chapter)
