Spiritual Mountains.
Among the towering majestic peaks wreathed in immortal mist, the sword qi barrier left by the Sword-wielder still shines brightly in the sky of the Limitless Immortal Sect.
However, white cranes are constantly flying through the sky rapidly, with many disciples sitting on them, as if something major has happened, all rushing out of the mountains.
Lakeside by the Secular Immortal Peak.
Amid the tranquil woods by the fence, a little boy who had grown even more handsome stared at the woman in a white skirt in front of him in the wooden house.
“Aunt Jiang, where are you going?”
The little boy’s face couldn’t hide his calmness, but his eyes still stared longingly at the woman in white.
The normally cold and detached Secular Fairy Jiang Xuan rarely smiled slightly, bending down and touching the boy’s head, saying:
“Ping’an, be good. Aunt Jiang will be back soon. While I’m gone, you have to take care of your little sister.”
A petite young girl with pinkish cheeks and a ponytail on the side had tears constantly spinning in her eyes, and her childish voice choked, saying:
“Aunt Jiang, I don’t want you to leave.”
“Silly girl, what are you talking about? I’m coming back.” Jiang Xuan gently tapped the little girl’s head, unable to suppress her chuckle.
She then looked again at the little Zhao Ping’an, who was only waist-high to her, and instructed:
“Zhao Ping’an, after I leave, not only do you have to take good care of your little sister, but you also have to manage the Secular Immortal Peak well. Don’t forget to trim the fence garden every day, and don’t eat all the jade grapes on the green vines. These are meant to help you build your foundation.”
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the little girl with pink cheeks beside her, and her smile grew:
“Ruyue, you can’t stay in the mountains all day by yourself, so lonely. Learn more from your brother and play with the other fellow disciples from the sect. Just remember to come back to sleep at night.”
“Also, stop eating so much sugar. It will ruin your teeth. Just like your mother, you can’t take your eyes off sugar.”
“I know…Aunt Jiang.”
Zhao Ruyue just nodded obediently, not knowing how much she had actually taken in.
Jiang Xuan’s expression turned serious, “No matter what happens in the future, don’t forget the lessons I taught you.”
“Never rely on others for everything, only rely on yourself. If you encounter something you can’t decide, just think about it a few more times in your head, and don’t regret your decision.”
“Yes!”
“I’ll go now, be good, practice seriously, and your parents will come to find you soon.”
When Zhao Ping’an and Zhao Ruyue looked up again, the woman in a white skirt had already disappeared, leaving only the vine-woven swing swaying with the wind.
In the sky above the Spiritual Mountains.
Cultivators gathered, forming a sea of people.
They came from various major sects, including elders, executors, and sect masters, all present. While there were fewer people on the Spiritual Mountains than before, those who still remained were undoubtedly important figures with high status.
The Sect Master of Taihao Sword Sect, a sword cultivator on the verge of entering the Ethereal Form in Sword Skill Realm.
The Lotus Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect, the inheritor of the thousand-year-old Lotus Holy Technique, which is extremely effective in restraining demons.
The Master of Thunder Immortal Peak, a true disciple of the Limitless Immortal Sect three hundred years ago, and now a guest elder.
The Supreme Ancestor of the Mysterious Palace, a senior Mighty figure in the Metamorphosis Realm, who started his cultivation when Ancestor Yan Zu became famous. He has come out of seclusion specifically to deal with this crisis.And at last, the belated arrival of the Secular Fairy, Jiang Xuan.
A century ago, she was Heaven’s favored daughter. Due to her troubled emotions, she closed herself off for ten years. After emerging, she severed her emotional ties, killed several Demonbreds, broke her inner chains, and entered the Rebirth Realm, becoming a powerful cultivator at that level.
Among all the people present, Jiang Xuan actually had the lowest seniority.
She arrived last, so she first made a fist and apologized before joining the crowd.
Most of the inner sect disciples, True Disciples, as well as some elders, were dispatched to Western State to join the war. The manpower in the Spiritual Mountain was now very limited, and the number of people had significantly decreased.
At the top of the hierarchy was an elder in a green robe with white hair, holding a dragon vine cane, his eyes sharp and furious, exuding a powerful and divine aura.
This man was the Valley Master of Medicine Pill Valley, Zuo Sinong.
He was an unparalleled powerhouse, above the Metamorphosis Realm. He was a top-level alchemist, ranked third grade, and there was only one of him in the entire Immortal Sect.
He was known as the Alchemy Immortal Master.
It was said that Medicine Pill Valley always remained hidden and rarely interfered with worldly affairs. Now that the Valley Master had appeared, it was clearly a critical time.
“Everyone is here, let’s begin,”
Valley Master Zuo Sinong cast a glance at the crowd and said.
“Today, I called you all here mainly for the matter of the heavenly earth altar.”
As soon as these words were said, the cultivators present held their breath, focused, and listened carefully.
They, of course, understood the current situation as the Primitive World was nearby, and had already drawn most of the power from the Immortal Sect.
The altar in Northern State had not fared well either. The Northern Wolf Empire had been thoroughly invaded by demons and ghosts from the netherworld, turning it into a living hell. Sooner or later, it would be Central State’s turn.
While no alarming news had come from the Devil Sect, it couldn’t be taken lightly.
The Devil Lord came from the Heavenly Devil World and, upon awakening, harbored an unyielding ambition, constantly plotting.
The situation was urgent, and manpower was insufficient. If they were called into action, it would mean that the true battle between Heaven and Earth was imminent.
Zuo Sinong waved his hand gently, and the spiritual qi from the universe surged, forming a map of mountains and rivers, with mountain ranges, towns, lakes, and forests emerging like light before their eyes.
He whispered, “We must discuss how to set up defenses in Central State Immortal Sect, in the face of the collapse of the northern and western states after the invasion of the heavenly earth altar, to resist the various invaders from advancing southward and eastward.”
“Master of Eternal Taoist Temple expended more than half of his cultivation level in a lifetime to set up the new Rules of Heaven and Earth, so those above the Metamorphosis Realm cannot enter the battlefield and participate in the great war. However, when it comes to true half-immortals and immortals, these barriers are nothing.”
“The master of the Exquisite Palace is stationed in the north at the netherworld to block the erosion of the ghost countries and corpse lands, but the situation there is also not optimistic. The netherworld is not what it used to be five years ago. Ghost Race, Corpse Race, Bloody Devil Clan, and even some bizarre clans have appeared, and it seems that the entrance to the human world from hell has opened.”
“Hai Shengming guards the Illusory Southern Sea, while most of the other ancestors have gone to the Primitive World. At the moment, only we are available for deployment.”
Someone raised objections, saying,
“Is it only our Spiritual Mountain Immortal Sect that is the master of this world, or should other cultivators also contribute?”
Zuo Sinong replied, “We can think this way, but we cannot sit idly by and wait for death. The situation is pressing, time waits for no one, and the choice of whether to accept death willingly or to actively resist is not even worth mentioning.”
Immediately afterward, he looked towards the direction of Western State and slowly said, “A vast Western State, annihilating countless countries. If we hesitate further, we may end up suffering the same fate as them, but fortunately, there is still hope and variables.”
When he said the last sentence, his voice couldn’t help but lower a little. Then, looking at everyone, he transmitted a powerful voice,
“Everyone, for the future of this world, contribute your meager strength.”
