Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 305 A Strange Phenomenon of Core Formation, the Mo Family Demands Monthly Tickets!

"Judging from your abundant vital energy, you all seem to be close to the Golden Core stage?"

Xu Chuan observed Xu Mingxian and the others and noticed something amiss.

"Father, I have already comprehended ninety percent of the true meaning of the Dao of Arrays," Xu Mingxian said. "Furthermore, based on your experience, I have also integrated the true meaning of the Dao of Arrays into my Five Elements Battle Array."

When the true meaning is fully realized, that will be the time when my Five Elements Battle Formation divine power is complete, and I can then form my inner core.

"Not bad." Xu Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

If one were to truly master the essence of array formations from the beginner level, it would take an unknown amount of time.

However, not everyone is like Xu Chuan, who comprehends supernatural powers so quickly.

“Grandfather, your granddaughter has also comprehended the basics of supernatural powers to the point of 90%, or even infinitely close to 100%. According to Master, I should be able to break through in at most one month.”

"very good."

"And me, Master, I've reached 60% of the Battle Intent, 80% of the True Yang Intent, and mastered the third form of the Brahma Holy Fist," Ye Fan hurriedly added.

"It seems that he has been diligently cultivating himself for the past three years."

Xu Chuan nodded. "Where is Fei'er? I scanned the entire clan territory with my divine sense, but I couldn't find him."

"A few days ago, Chen Yulian invited Fei'er to train in the Tiancang Mountains. That girl Yulian is quite good. She has reached the late stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining at only twenty years old."

It takes at most six months to complete the Qi cultivation.

In terms of timing, it's estimated to be around the same time as Fei'er's.

Ye Fan guessed.

The Xu family possesses breakthrough pills, so once Xu Chongfei reaches the late stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he can directly break through to the peak of Qi Refining.

However, even though they are all at the perfect state.

However, after Xu Chongfei purified his magic power with the Spirit Condensation Pill and expanded his dantian with the Yuanhua Pill, his magic power and strength increased by 30% compared to other martial artists of the same realm.

Furthermore, the special cultivation technique "Nine Heavens of Blazing Cold" greatly enhanced his foundation compared to others at the same cultivation level.

This is something that no previous disciples of the Xu family could achieve.

However, both of these elixirs have now arrived at Dongxi at the same time.

The core members of the Xu family can take this type of pill to strengthen their foundation.

As for why it's not for everyone, it's because these two types of elixir materials are rare. The Xu family has only collected one or two portions over several years, and currently only Xu Mingqing is refining them.

Yunxi, on the other hand, has an abundance of medicinal pills, but too few members of the Xu clan.

This truly proves the saying, "Some are dying of drought, while others are dying of floods."

Xu Chuan calculated with his fingers, his brows furrowed slightly, but then relaxed and he said with a faint smile, "There is danger, but nothing serious. In fact, because of this incident, the Red Phoenix Star will move."

"Danger?" Ye Fan and Xu Deyue both looked over.

"It's nothing more than discovering an opportunity; all the people doing the mission have developed their own ideas."

"That movement of the Red Phoenix Star, could it be..."

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, "Let him gain some experience. Maybe in five or six years, our Xu family will have another member."

Soon after, Xu Mingxian and the others left.

The next day.

Xu Chuan began refining the Demon Spirit Pill.

All of them produced nine pills, six of which were of superior quality. Each of the three little ones had one superior quality pill, the middle-grade pills were kept as snacks, and the rest of the superior quality pills were put away.

Next, Xu Chuan began refining the "Golden Core".

In just over two days, the refining was successful, yielding enough for seven high-grade pills.

That afternoon, Xu Chongfei took Chen Yulian back to the Xu family home.

Almost the next day, the Foundation Establishment Perfection elders from the Liu, Huang, and Zhuo families, all Golden Core lineages, arrived at the Xu family, along with an early Golden Core elder from the Xi family.

"Bring out Chen Yulian from the Chen family!"

The sound reached the Xu residence.

Upon hearing this, both Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian's expressions changed. Chen Yulian said, "Their family has indeed come looking for us."

Those who died were all Qi Refining geniuses from aristocratic families, especially that member of the Xi family.

He is also the great-grandson of a Golden Core elder.

They were on a mission with Chen Yulian, and since only Chen Yulian survived, they naturally suspected her immediately.

Previously, they had all gone to the Chen family to demand an explanation.

The second stop was the Xu family's house.

"Don't worry, I was partly responsible for killing them too, you're just pinning it all on me."

"How can this be done?!"

"Why not? You did only kill the Huang and Zhuo family disciples. I killed the Xi and Liu family members, and they attacked us first."

"Our Xu family motto is: anyone who dares to lay a finger on a member of the Xu family will be swiftly and decisively eliminated."

“None of your Chen family members can afford this, but my Xu family can.”

"but."

"No buts, consider this your reward for taking that poisoned dart for me." Xu Chongfei smiled brightly and said, "Let's go, let's go out."

Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian arrived at the gate of the mansion. Xu Chongfei clasped his hands in greeting and asked, "What important matter brings you seniors to my Xu family?"

Huang, who had just completed his Foundation Establishment stage, said, "Young Master Xu, we have something to ask Chen Yulian."

“Please speak, senior,” Chen Yulian said.

"You were doing a mission with Huang Chengyun from the Huang family, Liu Ruyan from the Liu family, Zhuo Yugu from the Zhuo family, and Xi Mu from the Xi family. Why did all three of them die, while you were the only one who survived?"

But you killed them?

Chen Yulian was originally a disciple of the Qingmu Sect, but half a year after Mo Wentian formed his Nascent Soul, the Tiancang Sect issued an order, and Chen Yulian entered the Tiancang Sect, becoming an inner disciple through an exceptional promotion.

Most of the inner disciples of the Tiancang Sect are at the Foundation Establishment stage, but disciples from Golden Core families or those with outstanding talent can also become inner disciples.

"So that's what it is." Xu Chongfei said, "I also know about this matter, and I also participated in that mission."

"You were here too?" Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Liu family frowned.

If it were just the Chen family, they would be very easy to control, but the Xu family...
"That's right. Senior Sister Chen invited me to do a mission together. I had nothing to do, so I went along. But who would have thought that I would encounter a rare thousand-year-old Jade Marrow Fungus?"

The group then decided to kill me and Senior Sister Chen.

In the end, we managed to kill her in a counterattack. Senior Sister Chen was also seriously injured while saving me, but fortunately, I had a few Jade Sprout Pills with me, which saved her life.

"Did you kill him?" Xi Jia Jin Dan suddenly said in a cold voice, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He shouted, "Very well, then you shall pay for my grandson's life."

Before he finished speaking, the old man's withered palm suddenly surged with true energy, and the pressure of his golden core was like Mount Tai pressing down, making the surrounding air solidify.

Suddenly, his palm shone brightly, forming a dark palm print about ten feet in diameter. Wind and thunder roared between the palm lines, as if he wanted to kill Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian on the spot.

Before the palm print even arrived, the ground cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns, and all the grass and trees bowed down. That overwhelming and unstoppable power was enough to make one's heart tremble with fear.

Xu Chongfei's face turned ashen as he protected Chen Yulian and retreated repeatedly, feeling as if the palm print was like a dark cloud covering the sky, and the shadow of death was about to arrive.

On the verge of death, he immediately cried out, "Father! Mother! Save me—!"

"Someone wants to kill my child!"

Before the shouts had even faded, two beams of light pierced through the air!

A dazzling fist strike, like the scorching sun melting gold, burst forth from the side, accompanied by a cold sword light, like the Milky Way cascading down from the heavens, sharp and unparalleled.

The fist was powerful and fierce, while the sword light was clear and sharp. The two collided violently on the huge palm print from the left and right.

"boom--!"

The air exploded in mid-air, radiating light.

The fatal palm print instantly shattered like glass falling to the ground, turning into fireflies that scattered in all directions, and vanished without a trace in an instant.

Only the fierce wind howled, stirring up dust and smoke.

"Senior Xi, you dare to try to kill my son right in front of the Xu family's gate? Are you implying that the Xu family has no one to rely on?"

Ye Fan and his wife came to Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian.

"Father, Mother," Xu Chongfei called out.

"You brat, I'll deal with you later."

"A life for a life, it's only right and proper!" said the old man from the Xi family who had reached the Golden Core stage.

As for Liu, Huang, and Zhuo, they stood side by side to the side.

There's no way around it; we can't afford to offend either of them.

“My Xu family only knows that those who kill will be killed. I heard what my son said earlier. Your disciples harbored murderous intent because of the spiritual medicine.”

He was no match for my son and was killed instead. Didn't he deserve it?
"Senior Xi, if it were you, would you be willing to stand there and let someone kill you?"

"Don't try to argue with me! Do you think the two of you can stop this elder?"

“Senior Xi, I am trying to reason with you now. If you don’t listen, you will be in big trouble when my master comes out.”

Xi Jiajin frowned. "If True Monarch Ku Rong were here, he would have come out long ago. It is said that he has not shown his face for a long time and is still trapped in Canglang Mansion."

Perhaps they have already perished.

"You insulted my master, you deserve to die!" Upon hearing that the other party dared to curse Xu Chuan, Ye Fan's eyes flashed with cold light, and he shouted back in extreme anger.

Before he finished speaking, he had already made his move.

His body was brimming with energy and blood, and there was a faint roar of dragons and elephants, which was the sign of the physical body reaching the second stage of perfection.

With a single punch, the power of true yang burst forth like the sun, the blazing fist energy distorting the air—it was the True Yang Divine Power at the eighty-first level of entry!
Upon seeing this, the three members of the Liu, Huang, and Zhuo families were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

The power of that punch was enough to severely injure them on the spot.

Almost simultaneously, Xu Deyue moved with the sword.

The Guanghan Sword Technique was unleashed in response, its sword light as cold and clear as moonlight, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

That chilling sword energy had almost reached the threshold of the first level of supernatural power, and was only one step away from truly entering the realm and thus forming the core of supernatural power.

"Two Foundation Establishment juniors dare to provoke a Golden Core cultivator!"

The old man, enraged, laughed. Three jet-black demonic flames surged from his palm, transforming into three-headed fire crows that pounced on the two. "Let me show you the power of the Golden Core Divine Ability!"

Where the fire crows passed, the vegetation instantly withered and scorched, and waves of heat swept over us.

Ye Fan neither dodged nor evaded; his Brahma Holy Fist, enveloped in brilliant true yang, smashed into the fire crows with a "boom."

The scorching and domineering power of true yang actually blocked the demonic fire.

At the same time, Xu Deyue drew his longsword, and the light of the Guanghan Sword poured down like a silver river. Its cold light pierced the old man's heart, and its chilling force penetrated to the bone. Wherever it passed, the ground froze into a thin layer of ice.

The old man of the Xi family did not expect the two to attack so swiftly. He hurriedly made a hand seal to condense a stone shield, but it was shattered into pieces by the sword light. He was accidentally grazed on the shoulder by the residual force of the true yang, and his clothes were instantly charred black.

He was both shocked and furious. He quickly formed hand seals and released several spells, but they were all broken by Ye Fan's fist energy and Xu Deyue's sword light.

Although the old man from the Xi family was a Golden Core cultivator, he couldn't withstand such exquisite coordination and gradually became overwhelmed, his breathing becoming disordered.

Both Ye Fan and Xu Deyue's attacks were comparable to those of a Golden Core cultivator. At least, a Golden Core cultivator would find it difficult to defeat the two of them in a short time without using magic weapons.

What a remarkable couple!

The old man from the Xi family revealed a fierce expression, suddenly reached into his robes, and took out an ancient bronze mirror, its surface shimmering with a ghostly light.

He summoned the ancient mirror, made a hand seal to activate it, and the mirror surface suddenly expanded to a size of about ten feet, radiating a heavy and imposing aura like a mountain.

A gray beam of light shot out from the mirror. Ye Fan punched it head-on, unleashing the full power of his True Yang Divine Power, but was still forced back by the beam of light, his tiger's mouth splitting open.

Xu Deyue's sword light spun rapidly, and the cold light condensed into a shield, but it was pressed down by the pillar of light, causing the sword to bend and the frost mist to dissipate.

A Golden Core cultivator with a magic treasure can have a combat strength several times greater than others.

"Go to hell!"

The elder of the Xi family once again activated the mirror light, intending to kill the two.

"presumptuous!"

Suddenly, a cold shout rang out from the sky, like thunder rolling across the heavens, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

Before the words were finished, a sky-covering azure palm print pierced through the air, its power shaking the very fabric of space.

With a loud "bang," the palm print and the mirror light collided violently, and the seemingly indestructible pillar of light shattered into pieces like glass.

The aftershocks swept across the area, sending the Zhenyue Mirror flying backwards.

The old man from the Xi family also suddenly vomited blood.

He was utterly horrified and hadn't even recovered when an ancient seal hurtled towards him with immense force.

This seal is the low-grade magic treasure "Tianfan Seal," and its power is like Mount Tai pressing down.

The old man hastily mustered his magical power to defend himself, but it was shattered by the "Heaven-Turning Seal," which struck him in the chest.

Several crisp "snap" sounds were heard.

The sound of his ribs breaking was clearly audible. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, spurting blood profusely.

Before he could struggle to his feet, dozens of slender beams of spiritual light shot out like silver snakes, precisely entering his limbs and bones.

The old man from the Xi family felt his golden core in his dantian suddenly stagnate, and his magical power receded like a tide, being forcibly sealed. He was instantly unable to use his cultivation.

The "Heaven-Turning Seal" hovered several feet above his head, radiating a heavy, mountain-like pressure. An invisible force pressed down on his shoulders like an iron clamp, forcing him to kneel on both knees with a "thud".

"I am a Golden Core Elder of the Xi family, and also an Elder of the Tiancang Sect, the True Monarch of Withered Glory. You cannot treat me like this!"

Cold sweat poured down the old man's forehead, his face filled with humiliation and fear.

He never expected that the Xu family would be home!

"If you want to kill my Xu family's prodigy, you will have to pay the price. For the sake of the Tiancang Sect and True Monarch Qingmu, I, True Monarch, can spare your life."

Fellow Daoists from the Liu, Huang, and Zhuo families, I would like to trouble you to inform True Lord Qingmu.

"If he doesn't come, then make this man kneel in front of the Xu family's gate indefinitely!"

"Yes, True Lord Kuru!"

The three felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurriedly sent the news back.

After half a cup of tea.

While Master Aoki was cultivating in his cultivation room, he sensed the unusual activity of the communication token.

"Xu Chuan is back? My Xi family's Golden Core cultivators tried to kill Ye Fan and his wife, but Xu Chuan sealed and suppressed them, forcing them to kneel before the Xu family's gate?"

"What a waste of time!" Aoki Shinjun cursed under his breath.

He immediately left the cave and headed towards Yunxi Town.

It took them more than half a day to arrive at the Xu family's door.

He glanced at the old Golden Core cultivator from the Xi family kneeling in front of the Xu residence, but did not immediately help him. Instead, he said, "Fellow Daoist Kurong, I am here. Why don't you come out and greet me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of green light appeared, and Xu Chuan appeared before them.

Ye Fan and Xu Chongfei also appeared shortly afterward.

"Fellow Daoist Aoki, it's been a long time."

"Fellow Daoist Kurong, when did you return?"

“You returned not long after you came back, but you have been in seclusion ever since, not wanting to be disturbed. That’s why you used traveling as an excuse to leave.”

"So that's how it is." True Monarch Qingmu said, "I wonder why this elder of my Tiancang Sect offended you and was punished like this by you, fellow Daoist."

Xu Chuan smiled and explained the whole story, then continued, "My disciple and granddaughter have made outstanding contributions in the battles against the Greedy Wolf Mansion, but their achievements have been forgotten in just a few years."

He was almost killed at his own doorstep.

"Fellow Daoist Aoki, if it were you, could you tolerate this?" "He deserves punishment, but he's knelt for most of the day, so he must have admitted his mistake and won't repeat it. Perhaps we should spare him this time."

Xu Chuan pondered for a few breaths, glanced at the Golden Core elder of the Xi family, and waved his sleeve, saying, "Fine, for the sake of Fellow Daoist Qingmu, this True Monarch will not hold it against him!"

"Thank you." Aoki Shinjun clasped his hands in thanks.

Xu Chuan then retrieved the magic weapon and lifted the restriction on his dantian.

"Next is the matter of my sect's disciples being killed. The only survivors are Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian, and I need to take them back to the sect for further investigation."

After all, this matter involves four Golden Core clans, as well as my Xi family.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu doesn't believe my grandson's words?" Xu Chuan raised an eyebrow.

"That's not the case. They are engaged, so what they say may not be true."

"There's no need for such trouble. If Fellow Daoist Qingmu wants to see, I can retrieve my grandson's memories. But if it's true that the other families killed my grandson, then I won't let it end like this."

The Huang family, the Liu family, the Zhuo family, and your Xi family will all pay the price!

After a pause, Xu Chuan continued, "After all, Fei'er is the only heir of my Xu family. If something happens to him, I will go crazy. The death of just a few Qi Refining disciples is not enough!"

His gaze was incredibly sharp as he swept over the three members of the Liu, Huang, and Zhuo families. "Fellow Daoists, would you like to investigate further?"

Upon hearing this, the three trembled and shook their heads, saying, "I believe in Young Master Xu's character; he wouldn't lie. Besides, encountering danger while traveling is perfectly normal."

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, what about you? Would you like to see it?"

Qingmu Zhenjun frowned slightly. He didn't believe that the Xu family would dare to rush into the Xi family's territory, or that the Tiancang Sect had gone mad.

But it's not worth offending Xu Chuan for the sake of a member of the Xi family.

Moreover, he probably knew in his heart that it was most likely that one of the Xi family members who made the first move.

"Since Fellow Daoist Kurong has vouched for us, I, the True Lord, naturally believe that the Greedy Wolf Palace is under imminent threat. It would be unwise to engage in internal strife now. It would be better to resolve this matter peacefully and avoid further conflict."

Fellow Daoist Ku Rong, what are your thoughts?

“Very well, then I will follow Fellow Daoist Qingmu’s suggestion.”

True Monarch Aoki nodded. "The sect still has matters to attend to, so I cannot stay any longer and will take my leave first."

"Please make yourself at home, fellow Daoists."

True Lord Qingmu and the old man of the Xi family who had achieved the Golden Core stage immediately transformed into rainbow light and disappeared into the distance.

Main hall.

Xu Chuan questioned Xu Chongfei and the other person.

In front of outsiders, Xu Chongfei readily took full responsibility, but in front of Xu Chuan and the others, he honestly recounted the whole story.

They also handed over the thousand-year-old chalcedony fungus.

It turns out that this matter involved not only greed for money, but also lust for beauty.

However, to the surprise of the Xi family, Chen Yulian also invited Xu Chongfei.

Without him, Chen Yulian would likely have been humiliated and died in the Tiancang Mountains.

“My grandson has caused trouble for the Xu family. Please punish him, great-grandfather.”

"My Xu family never provokes others, but anyone who dares to provoke us will be killed, let alone someone who is only at the Qi Refining stage."

"If that Golden Core elder from the Xi family hadn't come so openly today, your great-grandfather would have had plenty of ways to make him die quietly."

"Thank you, great-grandfather."

"Alright, go and rest well with Yulian. We'll send her back to Tiancang Sect in a few days."

"Great-grandfather, could you please not let Senior Sister Chen go back? I'm afraid the Xi family, the Liu family, and the Huang family will target her."

"You've already admitted to the murder, do you still want to detain those sect disciples in our Xu family?"

The Heavenly Azure Sect has its own rules; nothing will happen.

"But."

"Unless you have a valid reason, this is not appropriate."

Xu Chongfei pondered for a few breaths, as if he had made up his mind, and looked up at Xu Chuan, "Great-grandfather, Senior Sister Chen and I are already engaged, and your grandson wants to become her Daoist partner."

Ye Fan and Xu Deyue looked at each other and smiled like aunts.

"You've made up your mind?" Xu Chuan asked with a faint smile, as if he had expected it.

"Ah."

“Alright, then I will send a message to Brother Chen and ask him to come and bring Yulian back to the Chen family in person. Half a month later, the two of you will become Daoist partners.”

"Thank you, Great-Grandfather," Xu Chongfei said with a joyful clasped-fist salute.

Chen Yulian, with a slightly shy expression, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, True Lord Kurong."

"Still calling him the True Lord of Withering and Flourishing?"

"Thank you, Great-grandfather."

Chen Changge was surprised but also overjoyed when he received the message, and immediately rushed back to deal with the matter.

Several days later, all the major Golden Core families received invitations.

However, since the two Qi Refining juniors became Daoist partners, it was naturally not taken seriously, so a Foundation Establishment elder was sent to attend the ceremony and offer congratulations.

Xu Chuan specially invited Aoki Shinjun to attend as a witness.

Although he guessed Xu Chuan's intentions, he still came.

In these turbulent times, the Tiancang Sect naturally prioritizes winning over the Xu family.

After all, Xu Chuan had been in the Core Formation stage for over a decade, and his strength was probably no less than his own. He might become a threat to the Tiancang Sect in the future, but at this moment, he was an indispensable fighting force in the battle against the Tanlang Mansion.

From then on, Chen Yulian stayed at the Xu family's house.

One Breakthrough Pill allowed him to break through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage within two days.

It even helped her purify her magic power and expand her dantian.

"Is this how the Xu family cultivates its core disciples in the Qi Refining stage? Even in the Heavenly Azure Sect, very few people can enjoy this, right?"

Chen Yulian was surprised.

Although the two became Daoist partners, Xu Chuan insisted that they could only consummate their marriage after Xu Chuan had established his foundation.

After that, the Xu family remained stable for a period of time.

But only for half a month.

The celestial phenomena over Yunxi Town suddenly changed.

At first, the clouds above the Xu family mansion swirled slightly, gradually forming a vortex.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the cloud vortex had expanded to a hundred feet, slowly rotating, with a faint, cool light shining through its center.

Immediately, as if commanded, spiritual energy from all directions surged and converged, forming a visible vortex of spiritual energy above the Xu family's residence.

At the center of the vortex was Xu Deyue's place of seclusion.

The plants and trees in the courtyard were all covered with a layer of translucent frost, and the air was bitterly cold, with breath freezing into ice.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious sword cry rang out from the quiet room, soaring straight into the sky.

A sword light as bright as the moon burst forth from the top, hovering in the center of the cloud vortex, its brilliance vying with the dazzling sun!

At that moment, the cloud vortex in the sky was suddenly tinged with a clear light, and as it surged and rolled, it transformed into a sky full of ice crystal snowflakes, which fluttered down.

"A vortex of spiritual energy, a phenomenon of Core Formation?!"

"Who's about to form their Core Formation?!"

One cultivator after another took to the air to observe the source of the spiritual energy vortex.

"The Xu family, it really is the Xu family!"

"Snowflakes fly over the Moon Palace, the bright moon hangs high in the sky—could the one who forms the Core this time be the 'Cold Moon' Fairy, Xu Deyue?!"

"Who else could it be but her? Such a peculiar phenomenon must undoubtedly be the result of a supernatural power forming the core!"

"The Xu family's talent is terrifying!"

"Yes, too much of a good thing is bad. I wonder if the Heavenly Cang Sect will be uneasy if they find out!"

The news spread quickly.

Soon, people from the Lei family of Baiyun Mountain, the Mo family of Yuzhuhai, and the Tiancang Sect all received the message and learned of this matter.

Xu Deyue used a secret technique, and his magical power directly accumulated to the peak of the first level of the Golden Core, completely overcoming the period of weakness.

In addition, once she breaks through to the Golden Core stage, she will be able to truly activate the "Taiyin" magic weapon.

"Taiyin" was once a spiritual treasure, and even though it has now fallen to the level of a high-grade magic weapon, it still possesses power comparable to a top-grade magic weapon.

Jade Bamboo Sea.

Ink Jade Bamboo Forest.

"Senior Mo, what is your decision?" asked True Lord Tianlang.

In the past three years, he has been lobbying many Golden Core families in Tiancang Prefecture, but most of them have only made empty promises and few have actually pledged allegiance to the Greedy Wolf Sect.

However, his main target for lobbying was the newly emerging Nascent Soul family, the Mo family.

"As long as you agree to lend a helping hand to my Greedy Wolf Sect, the Mo family will become the number one family under my Greedy Wolf Sect after the destruction of the Heavenly Azure Sect."

The entire Tiancang Prefecture can also be entrusted to the Mo family for management.

"After the last battle, Senior Mo should know the difference in strength between the two sides. Once Elder Tianluo of my sect reaches the Nascent Soul stage, even Xi Daoyun will be no match for him."

"Plus the sect leader, if you lose in a Nascent Soul level contest, do you think the rest matter?"

Mo Wentian's face showed a solemn expression.

Suddenly, his communication token activated, and when he probed it with his divine sense, his pupils narrowed slightly.

After a moment, he looked at True Monarch Sirius and said, "Fellow Daoist Sirius, I wonder if your Greedy Wolf Sect has won over the Xu family? And how will you treat the Xu family in the future?"

"Naturally, we should focus on winning them over," Tianlang said casually. "Senior Mo, are you perhaps worried that my Greedy Wolf Sect values ​​the Xu family more?"
With you in charge of the Mo family, what does it matter if the Xu family has a few outstanding talents?
"We still have to act according to the Mo family's wishes!"

Mo Wentian stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "If the Greedy Wolf Sect really wants to win over my Mo family, do me a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"Xu Deyue of the Xu family has reached the Core Formation stage. If we kill her, I will believe in the sincerity of the Greedy Wolf Sect."

"Could that message from earlier be it?"

Mo Wentian nodded slightly.

The Heavenly Wolf True Monarch's eyes flickered uncertainly. Xu Deyue had just formed his Golden Core, so he was naturally no match for him. However, if he killed Xu Deyue, the Xu family would never again submit to the Greedy Wolf Sect.

However, this suits me just fine.

"It's a word."

"I keep my word, but if I fail, then Fellow Daoist Tianlang, do not set foot on my Mo family's door again."

"it is good!"

If this matter succeeds, a war will break out between the two prefectures. The Xu family will either be wiped out or flee from Tiancang Prefecture. Even if it fails, it will be the Heavenly Wolf True Monarch of the Greedy Wolf Sect who assassinates the genius of Tiancang Prefecture, and it will have nothing to do with his Mo family.

Half a month later.

Xu Deyue held the Golden Elixir Ceremony.

Although unconfirmed, most people believe that Xu Deyue successfully achieved the formation of the Golden Core through supernatural powers.

More than a decade has passed since the Gathering of Prodigies. Many of the prodigies on the Prodigies Ranking back then have achieved the Divine Power Core Formation, while the rest are stuck at bottlenecks and unable to make any further progress.

"From Heart City, True Person Yan presents the thousand-year-old spiritual herb, Heavenly Yin Flower, and the top-tier third-grade spiritual material, Snow Soul Ice Crystal, to congratulate Fairy 'Cold Moon' on her successful Core Formation!"

"In Kangsu City, True Person Ximen presents three Youth Preservation Pills, three portions of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and five portions of third-grade spiritual materials to congratulate Fairy 'Cold Moon' on her successful Core Formation!"

"The Azure Wood Sect presents five portions of third-tier spiritual materials and one Azure Crystal Fruit to congratulate Fairy 'Cold Moon' on her successful Core Formation!"

Almost every Golden Core faction sent people, but not all of them were Golden Core cultivators; some only sent Foundation Establishment cultivators to deliver congratulatory gifts.

In addition, several rogue cultivators who had reached the Golden Core stage also came.

"The Mo family, Mo Wen has arrived, and the true master of Mo Wen has arrived!"

"The Azure Wood True Monarch of the Heavenly Azure Sect has arrived!"

Xu Chuan smiled slightly, "The arrival of Fellow Daoist Wen Shang and Fellow Daoist Qing Mu is an honor to our Xu family. Please take your seats."

The banquet was in full swing when suddenly a rogue cultivator at the Golden Core stage raised his cup and said loudly:

"I have long admired the 'Fairy of Cold Moon' for her unparalleled talent. I have been at the Core Formation stage for over a hundred years, but my cultivation has stagnated. I admire her greatly, but I am also itching to be like her."

"May I ask the fairy to enlighten us with some wisdom, so that we may broaden our horizons?"

Xu Deyue's jade-like face was cold and aloof, like a reflection in a cold pool, and she responded with only one word:
"can."

Its sound was like shattered jade, without any trace of smoke or fire.

The two immediately leaped into the air.

Upon seeing this, all the guests looked up.

However, during the exchange, this rogue cultivator suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, and a long halberd appeared in his hand, which he thrust towards Xu Deyue with lightning speed.

Upon seeing this weapon, True Lord Qingmu exclaimed in surprise, "Heavenly Wolf Halberd! You are True Lord Heavenly Wolf?!"

A cold glint flashed in Xu Deyue's eyes. Despite being attacked, she remained calm and composed, and a cold, long sword appeared out of thin air in her hand.

The sword gleamed with a dark, yin light, and under the impetus of the Golden Core's magical power, its power was even greater than that of the Heavenly Wolf Halberd in the hands of the Heavenly Wolf True Lord.

Mo Wenshang and Qingmu Zhenjun's pupils contracted slightly, and they both remained still.

Xu Deyue brandished the "Taiyin" flying sword and used the "Guanghan Sword Technique." Although it was only an entry-level divine power, when combined with "Taiyin," it unleashed a deterrent force close to that of the Heavenly Wolf True Lord.

"boom--!"

The halberd and the flying sword clashed head-on, and the light burst forth as bright as day.

However, Xu Deyue's strength was ultimately weak. If she had mastered her supernatural powers by now, she might have been able to withstand this attack.

At this moment, the sword light shattered, and the terrifying power of the halberd made her blood surge. She was accidentally grazed on the shoulder by the halberd's edge, and blood instantly soaked her white clothes.

She used the momentum to fly backwards for more than ten feet, a trickle of bright red blood spilling from her lips, clearly indicating that she had suffered internal injuries, but she still managed to withstand this thunderous blow.

Few Golden Core cultivators present would dare guarantee that they could withstand the full force of True Monarch Tianlang at such a cost.

"Sirius, you're asking for death!"

Xu Chuan's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he attacked.

He soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of azure light, and instantly appeared in front of Xu Deyue. With a flick of his wrist, the Azure Dragon Umbrella appeared in his hand.

The parasol was opened.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Twenty-four flying swords emerged from the slowly rotating umbrella ribs, swirling across the sky. Under Xu Chuan's hand seals, they quickly coalesced into a sword-shaped azure dragon!
"This power is even stronger than the last time I saw it!"

The Heavenly Wolf True Lord once again wielded the Heavenly Wolf Halberd, and a blood-red halberd beam seemed to tear the sky apart, slashing down towards the Azure Dragon Sword.

However, the halberd's edge was blocked by the Azure Dragon's horn.

roar~
With a deafening dragon roar, the crimson halberd light was shattered on the spot, and the aftershocks sent both of them flying back seven or eight feet.

Neither the Azure Dragon Umbrella nor the "Taiyin" Flying Sword can compare to the magic weapons in the hands of the Heavenly Wolf True Lord.

"What luck the Xu family has! One or two of them possess top-grade magic treasures, and none of them are ordinary!"

Just as he frowned, True Lord Aoki, holding the Myriad Wood Ruler, also came towards him.

Tianlang was arrogant, believing himself to be a cut above Qingmu Zhenjun and Xu Chuan, but if the two joined forces, he would have no choice but to flee in disarray.

"Your Xu family is so wealthy and powerful, it's truly enviable. This True Lord will not keep you company!"

With a loud laugh, Tianlang immediately used his escape technique, transforming into a streak of blood-red light and disappearing into the distance in an instant.
