Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

The sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn; the blood moon was about to disappear.

The eerie creature launched its final attack before dawn.

"It's almost dawn."

Jiang Yun gazed at the pale dawn breaking on the horizon and couldn't help but exhale.

Just hold on a little longer and dawn will break. At that time, all the eerie phenomena will disappear, and we will have survived this blood moon night.

Seeing that the strange creature was launching its final attack before dawn, Jiang Yun made a decisive change of strategy.

"Seventh group withdraws; everyone else moves in!"

Jiang Yun shouted and summoned the Fire Jade Marrow Palace Lamp to block and kill a large number of strange creatures.

The next moment, apart from the seventh group, everyone else went into battle to fight the monster.

Jiang Yun did not retrieve the Fire Jade Palace Lamp and continued to kill the strange creature.

Just hold on a little longer, and we'll get through this blood moon.

So he started to use his full power without holding back.

"Dawn is breaking, everyone attack together!"

Seeing that Jiang Yun had everyone involved, Ancestor Zhou Ren made the same decision.

Immediately afterwards, Foundation Establishment cultivators continued to issue the same order.

The cultivators, who were originally in an orderly manner, with groups of ten taking turns to guard the Yuantian Lantern, now all attacked together.

Exhilarating battle cries echoed from the four walls of Maple Leaf City.

"Kill! Dawn is breaking, we've won!"

"Hahaha, a blood moon is nothing special, what's there to be afraid of!"

"That was satisfying! I killed more monsters tonight than I have in the last twenty years!"

……

As dawn approached, the eeriness was about to dissipate.

The human cultivators, instead of being deterred by the strange final wave of attack, became even more invigorated.

Shouts of fighting and killing were heard everywhere.

On the inner wall of the second line of defense, the two Core Formation cultivators, Fairy Mengyue and Daoist Rong, nodded in approval upon seeing this scene.

"Dawn is approaching. Maple Leaf City is safe and sound after this blood moon," Master Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

The Blood Moon, which occurs only once every hundred years, is most feared for the appearance of the Ghost King.

Secondly, the biggest fear is encountering a large number of strange creatures comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If a large number of strange creatures comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators were to attack the city, the first line of defense would definitely not be able to hold them off, and the second line of defense might also be thrown into chaos.

Fortunately, Maple Leaf City was lucky during this Blood Moon, as it did not encounter the Ghost King or a large number of Foundation Establishment Ghosts.

Fairy Mengyue nodded, her gaze remaining fixed on the first line of defense.

She opened her mouth, as if about to say something.

Suddenly, the sky began to lighten and became vast.

In an instant, a dim white light illuminated the entire cultivation world.

Countless strange phenomena vanished in that instant.

"Finally over! These guys have drained all my magic power!"

"That damn weirdo! He's perfectly fine on normal days, why is he going crazy on a blood moon night?"

"I'm exhausted, I want to go home and sleep."

……

After dawn, all the eeriness disappeared.

Maple Leaf City weathered the Blood Moon unscathed.

The cultivators fighting on the city wall did not cheer; instead, they all lay exhausted on the ground.

After a night of fierce fighting, their magical power was already exhausted. If it weren't for the pills that supported them, they probably wouldn't even have the strength to speak.

At this moment, Fairy Mengyue said to Daoist Rong:

"Our master just transmitted a message that all cultivators in Maple Leaf City will no longer need to offer contribution points for the next ten years."

"Inform them about this later. I'll return to my sect to report."

After speaking, Fairy Mengyue transformed into a long rainbow and flew deep into the Purple Cloud Sect in Maple Leaf City.

Rong Daoren flashed and appeared above the eastern city wall of Maple Leaf City.

However, Maple Leaf City is extremely large, with one of its walls stretching for countless miles.

It's impossible to deliver the entire message from Fairy Mengyue all at once.

Then, Daoist Rong moved again, flying above the hundredth Yuantian Lamp, and said loudly:

"The Foundation Establishment cultivators responsible for guarding the first to the two hundredth Yuan Tian Lanterns, come before me immediately and return the spare Yuan Tian Lanterns."

After he finished speaking, two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators took to the air.

They lined up in the sky, returning the spare Yuan Tian Lanterns distributed by the Zixiao Sect to Daoist Rong one by one.

Jiang Yun was guarding the 127th Yuantian Lamp, and he was naturally among them.

"There are two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"It seems there are countless Foundation Establishment cultivators in Maple Leaf City."

When returning the spare Yuantian Lantern, Jiang Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

Maple Leaf City is so large that its walls seem to stretch as far as the eye can see.

Each Yuantian Lamp is guarded by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which shows that there are a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Maple Leaf City.

"The Golden Core Sects of this world cannot be measured by the Golden Core Sects of the Qiankun Immortal Cultivation World."

"Master Zixiao cultivated the Daoist technique of three golden cores and lived for more than seven hundred years."

"It seems that there are more Foundation Establishment cultivators in Maple Leaf City than I imagined."

Jiang Yun pondered this in his heart.

Suddenly, they heard Daoist Rong announce:

"The fact that Maple Leaf City was able to remain unscathed during this Blood Moon is inseparable from the concerted efforts of the city's cultivators in dealing with the strange phenomenon."

"Our master has decreed that all cultivators of Maple Leaf City who reside in Maple Leaf City for the next ten years will not be required to hand over contribution points!"

Rong Daoren's voice wasn't loud, but with his Core Formation stage cultivation, everyone could hear it.

After informing them of this, he rushed to the next location to retrieve the spare Yuantian Lantern.

"Last time we survived the Blood Moon, the Zixiao Sect exempted us from contribution points for five years," Zhou Hongde said with a smile. "I didn't expect them to exempt us for ten years this time."

The Zixiao Sect exempts students from contributing points for ten years.

Therefore, the family will not need to pay contribution points to the Zixiao Sect for the next ten years.

The cultivation families in the eighteen workshops of the second-tier spiritual vein are required to pay 1,500 contribution points to the Zixiao Sect every year.

Over ten years, you can save 15,000 contribution points, which is roughly enough to exchange for a Gathering Yuan Pill.

This made the clan chief Zhou Hong very happy.

Not only Zhou Hongde felt this way, but the patriarchs of other cultivation families were also pleasantly surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

After all, it can save 15,000 contribution points. If we add another 2,000 contribution points to exchange for a Gathering Yuan Pill, the family may have another Foundation Establishment cultivator in ten years.

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded.

He didn't care about the contribution points; he just wanted to get through the Blood Moon safely.

"Clean up the battlefield and let the clansmen return to their tribe to rest."

After the patriarch Zhou Ren gave the order, he went to discuss important matters with several old friends.

These so-called old friends are actually the ancestors of other cultivation families in Ningyuanfang.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun and Zhou Hongde landed on the city wall and began cleaning up the battlefield.

After a night of fighting the supernatural, countless monsters were killed, leaving not even ashes.

However, many strange remains have also piled up under the city walls.

These bizarre remains are nauseating to look at.

Some were left as a pool of black water after they died, some as a pile of red or white hair, some as black bone fragments, and some even as tree roots.

In short, the remains of bizarre deaths are incredibly varied and come in all shapes and sizes.

Jiang Yun looked around and found that many Foundation Establishment cultivators had burned these strange remains to ashes.

A few Foundation Establishment cultivators endured the nausea as they searched for materials to refine the Yuantian Lamp amidst the bizarre ruins.
