Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 404 Ash Earth Sect

Sanzu Mountain is a sacred mountain located in the northern part of the Central Region. It is famous for the confluence of three rivers and is rich in various kinds of spiritual fish.

At this very moment, on Mount Santu, cultivators gathered, and a secret realm appeared and disappeared.

At a certain moment, the cloud boat landed, and Jiang Chen, led by Nianhua, gathered with the Wang family cultivators.

At the same time, the arrival of Jiang Chen and Nianhua also attracted the attention of the Yan family and the Xia family. Like the Nian family, they also had a close relationship with the Wuchang Sect. It was precisely because of this that they paid more attention to Nianhua. After all, judging from the current trend, Nianhua was definitely being cultivated by the Nian family as a seed for the Purple Mansion.

“Brother Jiang, the Yan and Xia families are about as powerful as my Nian family. They are all families that have produced Purple Mansion graduates. Among them, the Yan family has produced a new Purple Mansion graduate. If nothing unexpected happens, they will prosper for eight hundred years, so they are the most prominent.”

"Although the Xia family currently does not have its own Purple Mansion to oversee things, it has a close relationship with a Purple Mansion elder within the sect, and should not be underestimated."

"Based on what we've discovered so far, there are considerable dangers within this secret realm. Our three families will simultaneously explore the realm from different directions, clear out the monsters within, quell the dangers, and then distribute the spoils of the realm accordingly."

"So far, the three of us have successfully established settlements in the secret realm. The next step is to expand outwards and seize the resources within."

With gentle words, Nianhua explained the current situation of Sanzu Mountain to Jiang Chen.

The Three Rivers of Santu Mountain flow back and split, and the terrain is unique. Nian, Yan, and Xia simply used these three rivers as a guide to open up three secret realms. It has to be said that these three families are indeed worthy of having produced people from the Purple Mansion. Their control over the secret realms is far stronger than that of the families in the Southern Jing Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded. As it stands, the struggle between the three families is still quite restrained, with its own set of rules, and is not a naked battle. Clearly, although this secret realm is quite remarkable, it is not large enough to warrant the three families disregarding everything.

At the same time, this is also because the Wuchang Sect is above them, and the most basic rules must be followed.

Just then, several streaks of light flashed across the sky, and the leader's aura was extremely intense, like a burning flame, attracting everyone's attention.

"It was him! I didn't expect the Xia family to call him back. It seems the Xia family is determined to win this battle for the secret realm."

Having discerned the background of the newcomer, Nianhua raised an eyebrow slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen became somewhat interested, and his gaze lingered on the leader for a moment longer.

A cultivator at the late stage of the Dao Foundation stage should possess a fire-attribute spiritual body, with intense and violent spiritual power, and most likely has cultivated some powerful fire-based technique.

"It looks somewhat familiar."

Sensing the aura emanating from the newcomer, a dark light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

"He is Xia Wuyan, a genius of the Xia family. He possesses the Fiery Spirit Body and later had an opportunity to undergo a transformation. Although he failed to become a true Treasure Body, his foundation still surpasses that of a normal spirit body."

"The Xia family regards him as a seed of the Purple Mansion. In order for his better growth, they specially sent him to the Jintu Sect for cultivation. Although the Jintu Sect is far inferior to the Wuchang Sect, it still has several Purple Mansion cultivators in charge, and even a Grand Master of the Purple Mansion Perfection. It is quite remarkable."

Sensing Jiang Chen's curiosity, Nianhua recounted everything related to Xia Wuyan.

Upon hearing the name "Jintu Sect," Jiang Chen's mind was stirred. He finally understood why he felt a familiar sensation from Xia Wuyan; it was because of the cultivation technique the other party practiced.

"Brother, is the Earth Lung True Flame Technique from the Ash Earth Sect?" Without trying to hide anything, Jiang Chen directly asked his guess.

"Indeed, the Earth Lung True Flame Technique is one of the foundation-building techniques of the Ash Earth Sect. It is rumored to be closely related to the core inheritance of the Ash Earth Sect and should not be lightly taught to anyone but the true master."

After glancing at Jiang Chen, Nianhua recounted all the information he knew. Although he was somewhat curious about where Jiang Chen had learned about the Earth Lung True Flame Technique, he didn't ask any further questions.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was thoughtful.

Unlike the Impermanence Sect, which possesses twelve true methods, the Ash Earth Sect only has three Purple Mansion inheritances in total. Two of them are flawed; not to mention celestial phenomena, even achieving the perfection of the Purple Mansion is difficult. Only the most core inheritance can be considered a true method, and it is even rumored that this true method is extraordinary, and its practitioners may have the potential to achieve celestial phenomena.

"Since the Earth Lung True Flame Scripture involves the core inheritance of the Ash Earth Sect, and is only passed down through true teachings, where did the An family obtain this incomplete technique? Was it because of that great battle?"

As thoughts raced through his mind, Jiang Chen immediately thought of the great battle five hundred years ago.

That great battle affected the entire Yu Huan Continent, and it can be said to be a reshuffling of all forces in Yu Huan Continent. The situation was more chaotic than ever before. Under such circumstances, it was not a big deal that the Jin Tu Sect lost a part of its inheritance for some reason. In the end, the Di Fei Zhen Yan Jing was only a cultivation technique at the Dao Foundation level.

"If there is an opportunity, we might let Du Zhong come into contact with the Jintu Sect. His stubborn stone body is quite compatible with the Jintu Sect's techniques. If he can obtain the Jintu Sect's inheritance, he might be able to unleash a brilliance comparable to the Treasure Body."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen began to pay more attention to the Jintu Sect.

At that moment, the gazes of the Xia family members, spanning several miles, fell upon Jiang Chen and Nianhua.

"Is he Jiang Chen? He doesn't seem to have anything particularly special about him."

With flames burning in his eyes, Xia Wuyan wanted to see through Jiang Chen, but unfortunately, he could only see very little.

“Nianhua, in this battle for the secret realm, your Nian family will definitely be no match for my Xia family.”

His gaze shifted to Nianhua, and Xia Wuyan spoke, his words filled with arrogance.

Hearing this, and looking at Xia Wuyan, Nianhua remained calm. The Xia family and the Nian family had a deep-seated feud, with their ancestors having fought each other. Xia Wuyan and Nianhua were the new leaders of their respective families, so their relationship was naturally not harmonious.

Looking at the indifferent Nianhua, a hint of malice flashed across his face. Without saying anything more, Xia Wuyan turned and left.

Meanwhile, in another direction, several Yan family cultivators smiled as they watched the Xia and Nian families locked in a fierce battle.

Among the three families, the Yan family is the most stable, after all, they have a newly promoted True Person, unlike the Xia family which has no True Person and the Nian family whose True Person is old and lacks successors.

"Since the Xia family has summoned Xia Wuyan back, they clearly value the resources in the secret realm. The Nian family is the same. This time, there's going to be a good show."

"If the Xia family and the Nian family were to fight to the death because of this, it would be much easier for our Yan family."

After a clash of spiritual senses, the Yan family cultivators glanced at Jiang Chen and Nianhua before quietly disappearing.
