Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 739 Ambush
The casting range of the Dragon Soars to All Things and the Vermilion Bird Profound Illumination Technique is 130-140 mu, while the casting range of the Thick Virtue Evolving Spirit Mantra is 200 mu.

With 100,000 mu of spiritual fields, Ji An needs to cast spells more than a thousand times and keep flying around, which is just the right time to practice the Golden Light Across the Ground.

These spiritual fields are divided into several large plots, and a spell is cast every few days. Combined with the more than 8,000 acres of spiritual fields on Crimson Flame Peak, a single spell casting cycle can provide the maximum amount of training.

Ji An explained in detail the scope of the spirit fields he had planned, "The spirit fields in the spirit vein derivative areas will receive the greatest nourishment, and low-grade spirit fields can be upgraded in grade within a few years."

If we call Foundation Establishment stage spells first-tier, then Nascent Soul stage spells are fourth-tier, and Great Perfection stage spells are fourth-tier top-grade.

His magical power quality is not as pure as that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but the effects of his spells should reach the fourth-tier high-grade level.

First- and second-tier spirit fields, nourished by fourth-tier spells, will naturally improve their grade rapidly, thus replenishing the earth's veins.

If he were to give up improving his cultivation and instead 'contract' the entire sect's spiritual fields, he could greatly accelerate the improvement of the spiritual vein's grade.

Of course, doing so would be putting the cart before the horse, and he wouldn't do it; cultivators are always ranked according to their cultivation level.

Lin Jiuxiao took out a blank jade slip and wrote it down, saying:

"I will convey the True Lord's decision to the Ministry of Agriculture, so that they can take the lead and coordinate with others to make overall arrangements."

"It's up to you to arrange it."

Ji An nodded slightly. He understood that the matter would ultimately be handled by the Ministry of Agriculture, but informing the sect leader showed his respect for Lin Jiuxiao.

If he directly tells Lin Lan to cooperate, the sect leader may not say anything, but it will definitely plant a thorn in his heart.

Internal unity is essential for the sect's rapid development, and he clearly understands how to maximize efficiency.

Cultivation provides confidence, but this confidence should not be abused.

Lin Jiuxiao put away the jade slip and changed the subject:

"Judging from the current situation, the demonic energy will be able to envelop us in at most three years."

At that time, all the major powers in the Western Continent will have to face the test of the True Demon Tribulation. You, True Lord, have had such an experience in the Central Continent; are our resources sufficient?"

He was always worried that once the demonic energy enveloped the mountain gate, the protective array would clash with the demonic energy, consuming the power of the spiritual veins.

This is like a ship entering the sea, inevitably facing constant corrosion from the seawater.

As the sect leader, he didn't want anything to go wrong.

Ji An smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"You don't need to worry too much. If it's just the pollution from demonic energy, it won't be able to break through the mountain-protecting formation's defenses in five hundred years."

What we need to guard against is the endless attacks from demons and true demons; this is the greatest test.

The emergence of the Xuan Yin Sect also had a positive side, as both the demon lord and the true demon were intercepted.

The entire West was safe until their defenses collapsed.

The sect has stockpiled enough strategic resources that, unless a high-level True Demon leads a large army to besiege the mountain gate for an extended period, there is no chance of failure.

This is also an important reason why he did not actively seek trouble with the Xuan Yin Sect after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage; the demonic cultivators still had value to him.

He didn't know how long the Xuan Yin Church would hold out, but for every year it held out, the sect would have an easier year, and other forces in the Western Continent would have more time to be safe.

After a pause, Ji An raised his fist and shook it before continuing:

"Besides, the sect still has me. I will participate in the battle when necessary. No matter how many Golden Core level demons and true demons come, it will be useless."

With his Nascent Soul cultivation, he unleashed powerful spells at the Great Perfection Golden Core level, such as the Heaven-Burning Fire, which would leave any weaklings below the mid-Golden Core stage utterly helpless.

Having experience fighting true demons, he was not afraid of these monsters invading the cultivation world.

The two talked for a long time about the future situation, and then Ji An left the Wuji Palace.

The next day at dawn, Ji An left his cave and rode on auspicious five-colored clouds toward the northeast. The rising sun shone behind him, casting a long shadow.

He was traveling high in the sky, where there was no demonic pollution, about three thousand feet above the ground.

This place is only a hundred feet away from the first wisp of cloud, and the demonic energy is also only a hundred feet away from where we stand.

Theoretically speaking, if a certain faction builds a giant spirit ship, it can escape the calamity of the true demons if it has a sufficient supply of spirit stones.

However, a power with such a foundation must possess high-level spiritual veins, and no one would be willing to abandon their sect unless they had no other choice.

Ji An maintained a constant speed as he flew forward. When his mana was depleted by more than half, he would summon a magical artifact as a mount.

He preferred to use the Flaming Banner or the Plain Cloud Banner, for no other reason than that these two magical treasures had the fastest flight speed.

When sitting on the magical artifact, he would take out two high-grade spirit stones to absorb spiritual power.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, the violent spiritual energy within spirit stones is no longer a concern, and they can be used for cultivation.

If there is no high-level spiritual vein to serve as a temple, this is one solution.

However, the spiritual energy in high-grade spirit stones is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of Nascent Soul cultivators; only top-grade spirit stones are the true hard currency.

The spiritual energy in top-grade spirit stones is abundant and easy to absorb. They can even be used as consumables to quickly increase magical power, such as ten-thousand-year-old stone milk.

The sect possesses a spirit stone vein, but has never mined a single top-grade spirit stone. It is said that only fourth-tier spirit veins can stably produce top-grade spirit stones.

Three days later, Ji Anbi descended into the demonic energy facing the sun, and Yuanhe Mountain was roughly within a hundred miles.

No one had just broken through, and there were no tribulation clouds to use as a location, so he would have to search for a while.

Since no matter how much he tried to conceal his inner power, demonic cultivators at the Golden Core level and above could still sense it, he did not try to hide it.

After searching for about two hours, he landed beside a desolate cliff, which was only a dozen miles away from the edge of the Yuanhe Mountain protective formation.

After quickly digging a cave two zhang deep, Ji An set up the array plate and flags for the Xuan Turtle Armor Formation, summoned Golden Hair and Big Yellow from his spirit beast pouch, and instructed them:

"Notify me immediately if the magic array is attacked."

The Great Yellow Bloodline is quite strong, currently equivalent to a demon beast at the fifth level of the Chaoyuan stage. After a few more decades of refinement, it can definitely break through to the Golden Core stage.

The golden retriever's bloodline was much weaker, but he had been refining his body in a high-level spiritual vein, and with no shortage of earth spirit fruits, his cultivation level had reached the fourth level of the Chaoyuan stage.

Big Yellow growled. It was rather reluctant to carry out missions outside. Compared to the small world, this place was a spiritual wasteland. However, its master's orders were not to be defied, so it could only obediently follow them.

The golden retriever, on the other hand, stood up optimistically and squeaked.

The saying "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" is absolutely true.

While others grow together with their beasts, Ji An is a god with six legs, and all his beasts benefit from his influence.

Fortunately, the fact that the Azure Deer and the Five-Colored Deer could play an important role after reaching the Golden Core stage made him feel a little better.

The Five-Colored Deer, in particular, is a beast that can be compared to several Golden Core stage cultivators working together, making it the most popular star in the sect.

Han Shan had told him that the Five-Colored Deer now took on "private jobs," helping certain cultivators cast spells on their private spirit fields, for which the reward was third-tier spirit fruits. Ji An nodded slightly, entered the simple cave dwelling, took out the gourd stone, and entered the small world.

The five magical treasures flew out of the dantian, their hissing and roaring sounds filling the air, before quickly dispersing.

Yuanhe Mountain, the Demon's Den.

A cultivator hurriedly flew in, found Zhu Changhe who was cultivating, and said:
"Master, when I was leading my disciples on patrol just now, I sensed the kind of spiritual energy fluctuation you mentioned."

Later, the tremor stopped at a certain point and then abruptly disappeared. I suspected that the enemy had gone into hiding.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator moves within demonic energy, it will cause extremely subtle vibrations in the demonic energy. A Golden Core stage demonic cultivator can detect these vibrations from a great distance.

Zhu Changhe opened his eyes and asked happily:

"Good, timely report. In which area is the enemy located?"

He was injured in the last battle a few days ago and was forced to amputate his own arm. He informed all the Golden Core cultivators in the sect and told them to report immediately if they encountered a similar situation.

The enemy came again and was detected, but he no longer dared to investigate.

Although the Holy Sect had two Nascent Soul cultivators, him and Yun Nianrong, together they were not enough to defeat the enemy.

He ordered Yun Nianrong to scout from a distance. After the enemy left, they searched the target area and found traces left by the enemy.

He didn't know why the enemy who came last time had come, or whether they would come again, but once they came, they wouldn't have to leave again.

He lacked confidence when facing the enemy, but now he had a powerful backer; he could simply ask his "boss" for help.

The disciple gave the approximate location, and Zhu Changhe nodded slightly, "Wait here for a moment, and I will lead the way."

He flew to the place where Han Shanyue was cultivating and respectfully said:
"Lord Han, the disciples patrolling outside have sensed a Nascent Soul level cultivator intruding. Should we notify Lord Morag?"

The two True Demon Realm cultivators who came to Yuanhe Mountain are Han Shanyue, who is at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage and is currently seeking an opportunity to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage; and Molag, who is at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage and is accumulating resources to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

Han Shanyue suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with a sharp light:
"It's best not to disturb Lord Mo. Do you know what level the enemy is at?"

"Uh, it should be the first level of the Nascent Soul stage. This enemy has invaded us before; he is very powerful, and I am no match for him."

Zhu Changhe briefly recounted the situation, but he mentioned that he had fought the enemy for a long time but was narrowly defeated, and he also had to save face.

He paused, then smiled cautiously:

"I think it would be better to inform Lord Mo, so that even the enemy's Nascent Soul stage cultivator will not be able to escape."

When Nascent Soul cultivators engage in battle, even if they destroy the enemy's physical body, it is extremely difficult to leave behind an escaped Nascent Soul.

Han Shanyue lowered his eyes, a hint of disdain flashing in them, and said indifferently:

"The two of us are enough. I have a magic weapon that is very effective against Nascent Soul cultivators. If the enemy's Nascent Soul doesn't appear, it's fine, but once it does, it will surely be captured."

"Lead the way, let me see what great abilities those cultivators in this world, passed down from our ancestors, possess!"

Yun Nianrong was able to learn a secret technique that allowed her to refine demons into bloodthirsty demonic souls. These souls could pounce on cultivators and absorb their blood and souls, making them extremely domineering.

Now, Yun Nianrong is leading the Xuan Yin Sect disciples and several late-stage Golden Core demon souls to sweep away the surrounding human forces.

In Han Shanyue's view, the reason why Zhu Changhe was no match was simply because he was too weak. If Han Shanyue, who was at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, were to make a move, he would surely kill the enemy as easily as catching a turtle in a jar.

This is an area shrouded in demonic energy, the home ground of demon cultivators!
Fighting here, he was able to hold his own against a human cultivator at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Sir, please come with me."

Zhu Changhe sighed inwardly and stopped trying to persuade him.

Although Han Shanyue was very strong, he did not believe that the other party could pose a fatal threat to that enemy.

The enemy is not only powerful in attack, but also extremely fast in its flight technique.

Logically speaking, a Nascent Soul Stage 1 cultivator shouldn't be this powerful, as this is completely illogical.

He wouldn't have believed his own description if he hadn't experienced it firsthand.

Zhu Changhe and the messenger's disciple flew ahead, while Han Shanyue followed three miles away. They had already reached their target area.

After searching for a moment, the disciple said softly:

"Master, the enemy should be within this area of ​​about five miles."

He was somewhat terrified. As a cultivator at the seventh level of the Golden Core stage, the Nascent Soul cultivator still wielded considerable power.

If the enemy suddenly appears and targets him first, it will be difficult to dodge, and he doesn't want to die here meaninglessly.

Noticing the tremor hidden in his disciple's voice, Zhu Changhe nodded:

"Go to the rear and tell Lord Han your guess, then stay far away."

Disciples at the late Golden Core stage will not provide any help in battles at the Nascent Soul stage; they are better off retreating further away.

The disciple nodded and rode the black wind away.

Soon, Han Shanyue flew over, searched the area, and then pointed to the left front, saying:
"The enemy used the magic array to conceal their tracks, but they were too stupid to know that the magic array activated by spiritual energy was as dazzling as a lamp in the dark to me."

The direction I'm pointing to, about fifty feet away, is problematic. Let's flank them together. You attack the magic array to draw their attention, and I'll wait for the enemy to emerge before launching a fatal blow.

In the gourd world, Ji An was contemplating the details of the murals inside the Guanghan Palace when a golden-haired dog appeared beside him, making urgent "squeak" sounds.

He communicated with his beast tamer and learned that the magic array had been attacked. He immediately stood up and said:

"You stay here."

He let out a sharp whistle, and several magical artifacts quickly flew to his side and hovered around him.

The apricot-yellow flag of Wuji radiated a yellow aura, surrounding him.

Ji An quickly released the power of metal and stone. The silver spiritual light covered his entire body and then merged into his skin, leaving several very faint silver patterns that could easily be missed if one was not paying attention.

After leaving the small world and putting Dahuang into his spirit beast bag, Ji An observed the situation outside the magic circle.

Once he figured out the enemy's attack frequency, he flew out of the magic circle during the intervals between attacks.

As soon as he flew out of the magic circle, he sensed great danger coming from above. An enemy was launching a sneak attack from the blind spot above his head.

He wasn't surprised by this. This was Yuanhe Mountain's territory, and it was probably a trap set by two Nascent Soul level enemies from the Xuan Yin Sect.

He reflexively released a burst of golden light, and before the enemy's attack could arrive, his figure merged into the five-colored radiance and escaped.
