Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

The Breeze Loose Cultivator said, "Fairy Yunluo, since the Evil Bone True Lord was slain by the six of us together, shouldn't the spoils also be divided among us equally?"

The Evil Bone True Lord had a magical treasure. However, he used only one treasure for defending against enemies, and the remaining treasures were the Evil Bone Demon Spear taken by Zhao Yu and some items in his storage bag.

"Agreed! True Lord Black Sword, keep this storage bag with you! I've already looked through the contents; you all can take a look as well! Being able to slay the Evil Bone True Lord, Zhao Yu has contributed greatly! The Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Evil Bone Demon Spear, shall belong to him!"

Fairy Yunluo casually tossed the storage bag of the Evil Bone True Lord to True Lord Black Sword.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Fairy Yunluo was not lacking in Spirit Stones or magical treasures. Only treasures of Spiritual Treasure level could pique her interest. However, Spiritual Treasures are extremely rare, typically the treasured possessions of the top Great Sects. She didn't care much about the legacy of the Evil Bone True Lord.

"I want the corpse of the Evil Bone True Lord!"

Zhao Yu casually threw the Evil Bone Demon Spear to True Lord Black Sword and grabbed the corpse of the Evil Bone True Lord.

The Evil Bone True Lord was a terrifyingly strong person whose Body Refinement was comparable to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul. His corpse was excellent material for refining a Fourth Order Gold Corpse. Once Zhao Yu refined the Evil Bone True Lord into a Gold Corpse, it could be devoured by the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, enhancing its Cultivation Level.

Materials like the Evil Bone True Lord's corpse, suitable for Corpse Refining, were extremely rare, as cultivators capable of reaching Nascent Soul middle phase through Body Refinement were very scarce.

The Breeze Loose Cultivator slightly raised his eyebrows, about to say something, but after glancing at the White Ghost Emperor and the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, he saw a hint of wariness in their eyes and remained silent.

True Lord Black Sword looked toward the distance and slowly said, "It's over!"

True Lord Third Extremities said, "The Great Kun Demon Monk is dead, his Nascent Soul did not escape! Merciless True Lord has severely injured Night Tama Fairy and has escaped the blockade. However, he used a secret technique that burns his essence, likely unable to recover within a hundred years."

"Let's go back!"

True Lord Black Sword employed an Escape Technique, transforming into a stream of light heading toward the direction of the Sacred Clouds Flying Palace.

Streams of Escape Light rose up from below, entering the Sacred Clouds Flying Palace.

True Lord Five Clouds slightly smiled and said, "Thank you all for your assistance. In this battle, we achieved a complete victory, annihilating three Nascent Soul cultivators from the four Demon Sects in one fell swoop. Even though Merciless True Lord fortuitously escaped, he also burned his essence and won't be able to recover for a hundred years."

"Our next target is True Lord White Dragon of Yulong Mountain! As long as we eliminate this traitor, the internal stability of the Great Qian Empire will be solid as Mount Tai. Please rest well, everyone."

The numerous Nascent Soul cultivators then formed small circles, tasting various fine wines.

Zhao Yu curiously asked, "How were the Nascent Soul cultivators of the four Demon Sects, known for their elusive movements, found so easily by True Lord Five Clouds?"

Leisurely True Lord said, "That is naturally the capability of the Shadow Cloud Hall within the Heavenly Cloud Sacred Sect! Two sects, two orders, and one city each possess an extremely powerful force operating in the shadows that gathers intelligence, infiltrates, and assassinates spies from enemy forces. The most powerful amongst them is the Shadow Cloud Hall of the Heavenly Cloud Sacred Sect."

"Not only does the Shadow Cloud Hall have top Golden Core cultivators nurtured by the Heavenly Cloud Sacred Sect, but it has also gathered countless Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Great Qian Empire. A key reason why the Primordial Sect was easily breached by the united effort of the Five Great Sects was their use of spies infiltrated within the Primordial Sect."

"The reason the Five Great Sects can dominate the Great Qian Empire is the indispensable role of hidden forces like the Shadow Cloud Hall. This is the fundamental disparity between sect cultivators and Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators."

Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully.

The Five Great Sects control all the Fifth Order Spiritual Lands in the Great Qian Empire, acquiring a massive amount of resources each year. Naturally, they can attract and cultivate countless cultivators.

Even though Leisurely True Lord, a Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator, had his own followers, it was difficult to create an organization like Shadow Cloud Hall hidden within the shadows because establishing such an organization required too much time, effort, and resources.

The majority of Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators preferred to enhance their cultivation levels and enjoy life, for once they ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, they were considered among the world's top cultivators, and even the power of the Five Great Sects would not lightly offend a Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator.

Should a Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator manage to advance to a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, then unifying the entire Great Qian Empire would not prove difficult. Even with ten organizations like the Shadow Cloud Hall, they couldn't withstand the Divine Skills of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

The Sacred Cloud Flying Palace soon arrived at Jade Dragon Mountain, but the True Lord White Dragon who originally resided at Jade Dragon Mountain had already left beforehand.

The many Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Great Qian Empire did not trouble the many cultivators at Jade Dragon Mountain. They merely expelled them from the place and re-divided Jade Dragon Mountain, allowing the Five Great Sects and various Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators each to occupy a portion.

Then, the many Nascent Soul Cultivators returned to Cloud Mist City.

Lord Wu Yun suggested, "Fellow Daoists, since it's rare for us to gather together, why not take this opportunity to hold a small exchange meeting?"

"That's a splendid idea!"

"Indeed!"

"I agree!"

"….."

Many Nascent Soul Cultivators present slightly nodded in agreement.

In the Great Qian Empire, the majority of the top resources were held in the hands of those Nascent Soul Experts, who were, after all, dominators of their territories. Find adventures at empire

Lord Sao Yao, appearing merely as a pleasure-loving Nascent Soul Cultivator, also had his Immortal City of Sao Yao, which spanned several hundred miles and had several Golden Core families and many Foundation Establishment families as his vassals, at his beck and call.

"Then let me be the first to throw a brick to attract jade," Lord Wu Yun said with a slight smile.

He stepped up to a small platform in the hall, took out a jade bottle, and said, "A pound of Fifth Order water-attributed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the Five Elements Heavy Water, in exchange for same-grade cloud-attributed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or one hundred million Spirit Stones, ten Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, and other equivalent valued Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

Lord San Jue's eyes lit up as he said, "One hundred million Spirit Stones!"

Lord Zhou Yuan also spoke up, "One hundred and ten million Spirit Stones!"

Several Nascent Soul Cultivators joined the competition.

Spirit Stones could be earned, but such Fifth Order Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were extremely rare and difficult to buy with Spirit Stones. They were primarily cherished collections of various old Nascent Soul monsters, often traded only through barter.

Zhao Yu spoke slowly, "A recipe that can enhance the mana of Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators!"

Lord Wu Yun's eyes swept across with a flash of eagerness, "What Spirit Pill recipe?"

Zhao Yu said, "Xuan Yue Spirit Pill! It significantly enhances the mana of Earth Attribute Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators. It can also enhance the mana of other Nascent Soul Cultivators, though the effect is reduced by fifty percent!"

Lord Wu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Deal!"

Zhao Yu stepped forward to take the jade bottle, swept it with his Divine Sense, showed a hint of satisfaction, and handed a jade slip containing the recipe for Xuan Yue Spirit Pill to Lord Wu Yun.
