Chapter 1077: The Moon Pearl

Amidst flashing silver light, Chen Mobai and the other two had already teleported to Shituling.

“It seems we arrived just in time,” Great Void True Lord remarked, glancing at the situation below.

Cultivators from the Five Blazing Heaven Veins and the Three Icy Heaven Veins were seated opposite each other, forming two spell formations. Red Cloud and the others, their faces pale, continuously channeled their true qi into the World Purifying Pot, suppressing the Rank-5 inner core of the Golden Flame Suan Ni.

However, before being transferred, the inner core had already been set to detonate by the Golden Flame Suan Ni. Even after falling into the World Purifying Pot, it inevitably exploded.

Even though the World Purifying Pot had a suppressive effect, most cultivators from the Five Blazing Heaven Veins were still severely injured and fell unconscious.

Golden flames continued to surge from the pot's mouth. These were powerful Rank-5 true fires; any Nascent Soul cultivator present, save for Ni Yuanzhong, who possessed a Dao Fruit, would instantly die upon contact.

Fortunately, the Three Icy Heaven Veins also possessed a Rank-5 magic artifact. Cold Star unleashed a radiant, snow-white pearl, using Rank-5 Extreme Cold Flames to counter.

Under these circumstances, however, Red Cloud seemed to harbor ill intentions. He slightly loosened the opening of the World Purifying Pot, causing the Innate Fiery Yang True Flames surging from its mouth to become increasingly dense.

Just as Chen Mobai and the other two teleported into view, Cold Star could no longer hold on. He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and instantly fell unconscious.

Without its master's control, the Grand Yin Pearl flew backward. Alongside Cold Star, cultivators from the Three Icy Heaven Veins, such as Master Luo Ying, also bled from all seven orifices. As they were about to be engulfed by the surging true flames, a figure suddenly teleported in front of them. The figure nonchalantly extended their right index finger towards the overwhelming true flames pouring from the World Purifying Pot and softly uttered a single word: “Freeze!”

The moment the word fell, it was as if space itself had solidified. The Innate Fiery Yang True Flames, which had terrified all Nascent Soul cultivators present, were instantly frozen in place before him.

The cultivators from the Three Icy Heaven Veins, who had just moments ago thought they were about to die, experienced such a drastic swing of emotions that some with lower cultivation, feeling the emptiness in their dantian and spiritual fatigue, simply fainted.

“Many thanks, Sect Master Chen, for saving our three veins!”

After Cold Star fell unconscious, Master Luo Ying, the highest-ranking individual present, forced a breath, struggled to her feet, and formally thanked Chen Mobai.

“It was merely a small effort.” Chen Mobai, however, gently waved his sleeve, drawing back the Grand Yin Pearl that had been knocked away by the Innate Fiery Yang True Flames. He held it in his palm, sensing its essence.

Seeing this, Master Luo Ying hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back. This was a supreme treasure of the Jade Splinter Palace, as important as the World Purifying Pot. It was only due to the insufficient number of cultivators from the Three Icy Heaven Veins and the Innate Fiery Yang True Flames' direct counter against it that it had been overcome.

“Young Friend Chen, this fire-warding art of yours is truly miraculous.” Just as Master Luo Ying was considering how to ask Chen Mobai for the Grand Yin Pearl, Unblemished True Lord's voice rang out. He and Great Void True Lord descended before Red Cloud, both simultaneously placing their hands on the still trembling World Purifying Pot.

As the true energy of the two Transformation Gods surged in, the full power of this supreme treasure of Blazing Heaven Purifying Land was unleashed. It reformed the Innate Fiery Yang True Flames, which had been wildly raging within, into a single, golden inner core.

“Many thanks to both True Lords for your assistance.” Feeling the World Purifying Pot no longer trembling, Red Cloud immediately rose and thanked the two Transformation God True Lords before him.

“No need for thanks. I need to requisition this World Purifying Pot for a period. Only by using the Innate Fiery Yang True Flames of the Golden Flame Suan Ni to refine its essence blood as the primary ingredient can the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir's full efficacy be achieved...” Unblemished True Lord, however, waved his hand, indicating that Red Cloud was celebrating too soon.

Upon hearing this, Red Cloud's face instantly soured. This item did not belong solely to the Fiery Cloud Palace; it was jointly owned by the Five Blazing Heaven Veins. Although Red Cloud desired to possess it, that was only an aspiration for after he achieved the Transformation God realm. Now, with the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir not yet in hand, and the pot being requisitioned by Unblemished True Lord, he was intensely unwilling. However, he lacked the courage to resist a Transformation God True Lord and could only remain silent.

“Rest assured, this time, we joined forces with Young Friend Chen to slay the Golden Flame Suan Ni, and the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir is about to be refined. Besides our four sacred lands, your Five Blazing Heaven Veins also made significant contributions. If there's a seventh elixir, it will be yours.” Unblemished True Lord understood Red Cloud's thoughts. Although as a Transformation God from a sacred land, he could forcibly take the World Purifying Pot without the Five Blazing Heaven Veins being able to refuse, the Orthodox Dao maintained a semblance of fairness.

As soon as he spoke, Red Cloud's expression immediately shifted from bitterness to joy.

“Many thanks, True Lords...” After Red Cloud delightedly bowed, Unblemished True Lord reached out and put away the World Purifying Pot. After requesting the refining incantations, he and Great Void True Lord walked over to Chen Mobai.

“Young Friend Chen, these Innate Fiery Yang True Flames are part of the Golden Flame Suan Ni's inner core. If they are missing, the re-condensed core will be flawed. Please release your spell's restriction so I can retrieve these true flames with the World Purifying Pot.”

Chen Mobai nodded. Activating his Innate Pure Yang Qi, he withdrew his “Fire-Fixing Art.” The auxiliary spells of the Pure Yang Scroll, after he achieved the Rhythmic Five Sounds realm, had all been successively elevated to Rank-5. As the Immortal Sect's strongest fire-warding art, the Fire-Fixing Art naturally handled the scattered Innate Fiery Yang True Flames leaking from the World Purifying Pot with ease.

Even Ni Yuanzhong, from a distance, thought the cultivators of the Three Icy Heaven Veins were utterly useless, feeling he could easily block the flames himself.

At this moment, the Innate Fiery Yang True Flames, freed from the Fire-Fixing Art's restraint, suddenly surged wildly in all directions. Ni Yuanzhong, who had just arrived, immediately changed expression, sensing a life-or-death crisis. Just as he prepared to activate his Dao Fruit's power, Unblemished True Lord gently shook the World Purifying Pot in his hand. A suction force immediately appeared at the pot's mouth, devouring all the true flames.

“Young Friend Chen, I have use for this inner core. Whatever part of the Golden Flame Suan Ni's corpse you desire, consider it compensation for you.” After putting the World Purifying Pot back into his storage bag, Unblemished True Lord asked Chen Mobai with a smile.

In this siege against the Golden Flame Suan Ni, Chen Mobai had undeniably contributed. Apart from one All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir, he was rightfully entitled to a share of the remaining gains. Great Void True Lord also had no objections to this. After all, if Chen Mobai hadn't broken the Grand Formation of Dragon Abyss Cave, they would likely have had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw and first deal with the rampant Demonic Cultivators of Eastern Li.

“Please, seniors, divide it amongst yourselves first. Whatever is left will suffice for me.” Of the Golden Flame Suan Ni, the only thing Chen Mobai truly valued was its inner core. Since it could cultivate Innate Fiery Yang True Flames, it meant its inner core also possessed innate attributes, making it suitable for refining a second nascent soul. Although he already had one, he could take it to the Immortal Sect and later give it to someone cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll in the Instrument Dao Academy, such as his good brother Ming Yihua. However, Unblemished True Lord had even requisitioned the World Purifying Pot from the Five Blazing Heaven Veins for this inner core, so Chen Mobai certainly couldn't contend for it. Since that was the case, he might as well be generous.

“I see Young Friend Chen's magic robe is still only high-grade Rank-4. How about the Golden Flame Suan Ni's hide? With your artifact refining skills, you could refine a Rank-5 magic robe, which would be more befitting your status.” Great Void True Lord, seeing Chen Mobai's politeness, also considered his benefit and proactively made the suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai realized it was indeed a valid point. The Pure Yang Immortal Robe, as part of the Pure Yang set, could only unleash its full power when wielded by his second nascent soul during encounters with powerful enemies. For example, in his recent battle with Li Li, after Chen Mobai's main body shed the immortal robe, he could only rely on the Five Smoke Veil of Grand Unity artifact to form a defensive robe. This was certainly not a long-term solution. As the Sect Master of one of Eastern Continent's Four Great Sacred Lands and an Orthodox Dao Transformation God, he should indeed possess a Rank-5 magic robe.

“Then I thank both seniors.” The polite exchanges between the three left Red Cloud on the side, along with Cold Star and others who had awakened with Master Luo Ying's assistance, wide-eyed and filled with disbelief.

Ni Yuanzhong, however, had already received news from Yuan Zhen in Dongling Immortal City, knowing that Chen Mobai had cultivated the One-Origin Dao Body to the Transformation God realm, effectively making him the third pillar of the Eastern Continent's Orthodox Dao.

“I haven't yet congratulated Sect Master Chen on his profound cultivation and the slaying of a Rank-5 True Spirit!” Having allied with Red Cloud and others here at Shituling for years against common enemies, Ni Yuanzhong, as the commanding general, had received considerable benefits. He therefore proactively spoke up to remind Red Cloud and Cold Star.

Upon hearing Ni Yuanzhong's words, Old Ancestor White Crow, standing behind Red Cloud, suddenly trembled and immediately lowered his head. The others, meanwhile, were wide-mouthed in shock. No one doubted this. Because Chen Mobai's recent effortless suppression of the Innate Fiery Yang True Flames, which even the combined efforts of the Three Icy Heaven Veins couldn't stop, clearly indicated that his cultivation realm had far surpassed the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, the attitudes of Unblemished True Lord and Great Void True Lord already revealed everything. They wouldn't believe that these two Orthodox Dao Transformation Gods, who had suppressed Eastern Continent for nearly a millennium, would be amicable towards Nascent Soul cultivators or readily share benefits.

At this moment, Red Cloud also recalled how he had been misled by White Crow in the past, wanting to attack the Five Elements Sect. In an instant, he cursed White Crow's ancestors eighteen generations back in his mind. As for Cold Star and Master Luo Ying, looking at Chen Mobai holding the Grand Yin Pearl in his palm, they were even more at a loss as to how to ask for the supreme treasure back.

“Nephew Ni, I'll leave this place to you!” At that moment, Unblemished True Lord instructed Ni Yuanzhong. Beside him, Great Void True Lord's silver bracelet shimmered, enveloping the three Transformation Gods and teleporting them back to Dongling Immortal City.

“Oh dear, I forgot to return this pearl to Fellow Daoist Cold Star.” As the silver light dissipated, Chen Mobai, sensing the icy Grand Yin Pearl in his hand, seemed to have just remembered it.

“Then we'll trouble Young Friend Chen to preside over Dongling Immortal City. If the Three Icy Heaven Veins wish for this Grand Yin Pearl, they can come from Shituling to find you anytime.” Unblemished True Lord and Great Void True Lord, however, were completely unconcerned. As dignified Transformation Gods, requisitioning Rank-5 magic artifacts for the greater good of Eastern Continent's Orthodox Dao was common. Hadn't he seen the World Purifying Pot was now in Unblemished True Lord's storage bag? The two of them thought Chen Mobai had taken a liking to the Grand Yin Pearl and thus hadn't let go of it.

“This pearl doesn't quite seem like a mere magic artifact. As an artifact refiner, I became somewhat engrossed in observing it.” Chen Mobai explained. He wasn't the kind of person who would unjustly keep others' possessions. It was just that as soon as he arrived at Shituling, he had noticed the radiant, snow-white pearl above Cold Star's head. With his experience of possessing the Five Elements Dao Fruit, he found it somewhat peculiar. It resembled a Dao Fruit, so he had held onto it to observe it more closely. Who would have thought the two True Lords acted so decisively? After obtaining the World Purifying Pot and the Golden Flame Suan Ni's inner core, they didn't linger for a moment and simply took him with them.

At this time, Shen Xi and the Palace Master of Azure Sky Palace, leading the Nascent Soul cultivators of Dongling Immortal City, also arrived to greet the three of them.

“I will go to the Eastern Lands border to first impede that Flying Yaksha. Junior Brother Unblemished, you can focus on refining the elixir.” On the topmost floor of Qianyuan Tower, Great Void True Lord spoke first.

Currently, Eastern Continent could be said to have three Transformation Gods, but Chen Mobai merely possessed Transformation God combat strength without yet having achieved the realm himself. The immediate priorities were undoubtedly the rampant Demonic Cultivators in Eastern Li and the refinement of the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir. Especially the latter: once the elixir was complete, the Orthodox Dao might gain several new Transformation Gods. At the very least, Chen Mobai and Shen Xi were guaranteed. By then, let alone a Flying Yaksha, even if the Luminous Venerable returned, two fists would be no match for four hands, and death would be their only outcome. Therefore, until then, both Transformation Gods felt that the losses in Eastern Li were acceptable. At most, it would revert to the situation before the war between the Orthodox and Demonic Factions, as long as the demonic forces weren't allowed to invade the Eastern Lands. Thus, Great Void True Lord intended to stand guard at the border between the Eastern Lands and Eastern Li while Unblemished True Lord refined the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir.

“Then I'll trouble Senior Brother to preside over Monster Suppressing Immortal City. As long as Senior Brother can hold off that Flying Yaksha, the cultivators from our major Eastern Lands sects in Eastern Li will have more opportunities to withdraw...” Unblemished True Lord also agreed with this plan and added a point. Although this meant that decades of the Eastern Lands Orthodox Dao's efforts in Eastern Li would be seized by the demonic forces, as Transformation Gods, their vision was far more long-term. Such minor losses could all be recouped once the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir was complete. It might even usher in an unprecedented golden era for the Orthodox Dao in Eastern Continent.

“What a pity. I've cultivated assiduously for nearly two hundred years, mastering a body of demon-subduing divine abilities, only to let those demonic scoundrels live a few more years...” Chen Mobai, however, felt a bit regretful about this. With his Primordial Yang Sword in hand, he didn't know how he could lose against demonic cultivators. Nevertheless, the two True Lords had a point. It was safer to wait until the Orthodox Dao had more Transformation Gods before pushing back in a single wave.

Those around him, hearing his words, all wore strangely complex expressions. This young man isn't even two hundred years old!? Upon realizing this, Unblemished True Lord's hand, holding his teacup, couldn't help but tremble slightly. He was already over thirteen hundred years old. Chen Mobai wasn't even a fraction of his age. Didn't this mean that when he and Great Void reached their advanced years, Eastern Continent would be this young man's domain?

Previously, Unblemished True Lord had great confidence in his successor, Shen Xi. But after interacting with Chen Mobai these past few days, he knew that in terms of talent, this young man could rank among the top ten in Eastern Continent's tens of thousands of years of history. He might even achieve Void Refinement, just like Yuan Qingque!

Thinking this, Unblemished True Lord felt both joy and worry. He was happy that after Yuan Qingque, a new pillar supporting the heavens was about to emerge for Eastern Continent's Orthodox Dao. His worry was that this person was not from his Daoist Virtue Sect. Fortunately, he wasn't from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace or the Nine Heavens Demonic Extermination Sect either. With that thought, Unblemished True Lord felt slightly more at ease. The One-Origin lineage still had a somewhat shallow foundation. It was estimated that after Chen Guixian, it would decline for quite some time again. Even if Chen Guixian ascended like One-Origin True Lord, he would merely have founded the Five Elements Sacred Land; it wouldn't be able to endure through the ages like their three sects.

“Young Friend, your body of demon-refining divine abilities will certainly have a chance to be used. For now, please bear with us a little. We'll trouble you to oversee the Dongling Region.” Unblemished True Lord spoke kindly, comforting Chen Mobai.

“Whatever both seniors arrange is fine.” Chen Mobai naturally agreed. After all, the Five Elements Sect had no assets in Eastern Li, so he would suffer no loss if it were seized by the demonic cultivators. He had merely spoken those words about not coexisting with demonic cultivators out of his position as a sacred land sect master, feeling it was appropriate for the occasion.

“Then I'll return to the sect to refine the elixir. Su'er, come with me; it's time to teach you the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir's formulation.” After arranging the development of the Dongling Region, Unblemished True Lord rose to leave. With Xuande absent, he could only first pass on the knowledge to his disciple, Qi Jiansu.

“Oh, and Young Friend Chen, the Golden Flame Suan Ni's hide will be given to you after the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir is refined. This is because there might be a loss of essence blood during the elixir refinement, and to ensure the success rate, a portion of the corpse might need to be added to the cauldron as a supplement...” Before leaving, Unblemished True Lord added to Chen Mobai, who nodded in understanding.

“I'll give you a ride. It so happens I'm also going to Monster Suppressing Immortal City!” Great Void True Lord rose. As he spoke, the silver bracelet on his wrist spun, enveloping Unblemished True Lord and his disciple in silver light. In a flash, the three of them vanished from the spot.

Chen Mobai's expression showed hesitation, but in the end, he didn't offer to help with the elixir refinement. If he used the Grand Purity Flame, he felt he could at least produce one more elixir. However, since he had already secured one All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir for himself, an additional one would only benefit other perfected Nascent Soul cultivators. It was better not to do 'good deeds' then.

“Sect Master Chen, we'll be troubling you from now on.” After the two Transformation Gods departed, Shen Xi was the first to raise his teacup and offer tea to Chen Mobai in salute.

“No problem, no problem. I'm not one for managing affairs, so let's stick to the previous order. If you encounter any desolate ruin demonic beasts that are too difficult to handle, Sect Master Shen Xi, just notify me.” Chen Mobai was also very polite. Although Unblemished True Lord and the others said he was in charge here, he knew that was merely a formality. Currently, the structure of Eastern Continent remained two major and two minor powers. The Daoist Virtue Sect and Grand Void Ethereal Palace, possessing living Transformation Gods, would naturally claim the lion's share of profits from reclamation. The Nine Heavens Demonic Extermination Sect, though without a Transformation God, inherited the legacy of Yuan Qingque's ascension, making it equivalent to the Five Elements Sect, which currently had Transformation God combat strength.

Furthermore, there were only one or two years until the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir was refined. In such a short period, Chen Mobai wasn't inclined to implement the small immortal sect system here. He would wait until he achieved Transformation God himself. With this thought, he implemented a 'laissez-faire' governance in the Dongling Region, similar to his approach in the Immortal Sect. He merely directed the Five Elements Sect's cultivator army to reclaim desolate ruins within their allocated territory. Following previous plans, they built five immortal cities, expanding from these points to cover the entire Kun position.

However, the news of him cultivating the One-Origin Dao Body to the Transformation God realm still spread quickly. After all, so many people in Dongling Immortal City had witnessed it. This led to a surge of rogue cultivators flocking into the Five Elements Sect's territory, with the exception of Core Formation cultivators who remained in the Qian position of the Star Heaven Dao Sect. Because with a Transformation God presiding, there was hope of survival even if they encountered a wild Rank-5 True Spirit. While rogue cultivators were greedy, they also highly valued safety. Furthermore, many of them had already exchanged for the cultivation methods they needed at the One-Origin Dao Palace, and the Five Elements Sect offered the most diverse and highest quality resources.

With the assistance of the rogue cultivators, the reclamation of the Kun position desolate ruins, which was originally expected to take fifteen to twenty years, was largely completed within just three years. Seeing this situation, Chen Mobai wasted no time. He directly waved his hand, commanding the two Nascent Soul cultivators, Mo Douguang and Yin Qingmei, to lead the Five Elements Sect's army towards the adjacent Zhen and Gen positions, helping to reclaim these two areas as well.

The Gen position was fine; it was originally vacant, serving as a buffer between the One-Origin Dao Palace and the Five Elements Sect, and also reserved for rogue cultivators. When the Five Elements Sect occupied it, Earth Virtue didn't dare utter a single word. But the Zhen position was different; it previously belonged to the Five Blazing Heaven Veins. However, in order to besiege and kill the Golden Flame Suan Ni, all the Five Blazing Heaven Veins had been redeployed to the front lines, so the previously reclaimed parts had been retaken by demonic beasts. Chen Mobai took pity on the rogue cultivators in the Zhen position and decided to act as a righteous individual to help.

Upon learning of this, Red Cloud even personally came to 'plead guilty with a thorny branch,' stating that as the person in charge of the Zhen position, he had failed to do his job, allowing demonic beasts to run rampant and rogue cultivators to suffer.

“Master Red Cloud, you exaggerate. After all, you were also acting for the greater good!” Chen Mobai, seeing Red Cloud being so understanding, felt it was a bit tricky to handle. He had originally thought that if Red Cloud directly challenged him, he would simply find an excuse to make a move, letting him experience the might of a Transformation God. He hadn't intended to kill him, after all, Unblemished True Lord had borrowed his World Purifying Pot and promised an All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir. Chen Mobai, as a pillar of Eastern Continent's Orthodox Dao, certainly couldn't attack one of his own. He merely wanted to use this opportunity to see if he could acquire the troublesome Golden Crow Immortal City for the Five Elements Sect. In that case, the three frontier regions of Eastern Continent would truly become his domain.

But since Red Cloud directly admitted his fault, Chen Mobai could only politely ask him to rise. The two chatted for a while longer. Red Cloud produced a storage bag and presented it. Chen Mobai stated he wasn't that kind of person and told him to put it away.

“Inside here are some Rank-5 Solar Holy Fruits. I previously heard from Daoist Son Ye Qing that Sect Master Chen was collecting these, so I brought over all the stock from the Five Blazing Heaven Veins. Please accept them, Sect Master Chen.” Upon hearing Red Cloud's words, Chen Mobai's declining gesture immediately halted.

“Back when I was at the Divine Wood Sect, I already heard of the fame of the foremost spiritual plant in Eastern Continent's three frontier regions. Furthermore, my own cultivation is fire-attributed. At that time, I was thinking, how wonderful it would be if one day I could possess the Solar Divine Tree.” As Chen Mobai spoke, he had already taken the storage bag from Red Cloud. His spiritual sense probed inside, revealing a full twelve Solar Holy Fruits, causing his breathing to quicken slightly. The major sects on the Heavenly River Realm side truly have many good things!

“The Solar Divine Tree was jointly developed by our Blazing Heaven Purifying Land's Transformation God Old Ancestor, who invited Transformation Gods from sacred lands like the Daoist Virtue Sect. After the Eastern Yi region was first developed, our sect made an agreement with the Daoist Virtue Sect, Nine Heavens Demonic Extermination Sect, and others, that the Solar Divine Tree would forever belong to the descendants of our Blazing Heaven Purifying Land...” Red Cloud understood Chen Mobai's subtext, and his expression turned bitter. However, it was impossible for him to actually give the Solar Divine Tree to this person to resolve their grievances. After all, the Five Blazing Heaven Veins were able to have so many Nascent Soul cultivators and firmly suppress the Three Icy Heaven Veins precisely because of the Solar Divine Tree, a Rank-5 spiritual plant. Relying on the various resources produced by this spiritual plant, besides their own cultivation, they could also exchange for various Core Formation and Nascent Soul spiritual medicines. Even sacred lands outside Eastern Continent, such as the Profound Fire Sect of Southern Continent, frequently came to request Solar Holy Fruits.

Now that Chen Mobai desired it, Red Cloud could only bring up the Daoist Virtue Sect and other Eastern Continent sacred lands, hoping to make him wary.

“I was just speaking casually. However, since the subject of this agreement is the descendants of Blazing Heaven Purifying Land, it implies that if your five veins no longer existed...” Upon hearing this, Red Cloud's face immediately turned ashen.

“Sect Master Chen, please be careful with your words. Our Blazing Heaven Purifying Land also has an ascended Ancestral Master!” Chen Mobai was greatly surprised to hear this. In his impression, Blazing Heaven Purifying Land had no ascended cultivators in Eastern Continent.

“Our sect's Ancestral Master came from Central Continent and was a fellow disciple of the Profound Fire Sect's Old Ancestor in Southern Continent. The original sect's Old Ancestor in Central Continent was an ascended mighty figure!” Red Cloud brought up the most distant ancestral connection, indicating that Blazing Heaven Purifying Land was not to be bullied and had powerful relatives. The Profound Fire Sect, as a major sect in Southern Continent, was so powerful that it was no less than those sacred lands and major sects in Central Continent. Its Transformation God Old Ancestor, Flame Immortal, was even one of the top fifteen individuals in the Heavenly River Realm, ranking among the Three Immortals.

“It seems I was ill-informed then.”

“Sect Master Chen, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave.” At this point, Red Cloud also knew that this bag of Solar Holy Fruits would at most resolve the past grievances between Fiery Cloud Palace and the Five Elements Sect. As for the grievances between Bathing Sun Sea and the Five Elements Sect, further troubles were likely in the future. The key, however, lay in whether he could achieve Transformation God with the aid of the All-Enlightening Spiritual Elixir. If he succeeded, Red Cloud's first action would be to lead the Five Blazing Heaven Veins to confront the Five Elements Sect. If he failed...

No, I will not fail. I will definitely succeed!

Holding this thought, Red Cloud departed from Golden Star Valley. Han Zhiling, following Chen Mobai's instructions, escorted Red Cloud out, then welcomed the other two Nascent Soul cultivators who were waiting outside.

“I didn't expect it was Fellow Daoist Red Cloud who paid his respects before us.” Cold Star, seeing Red Cloud emerge, spoke with a slightly cold, half-smile. The debt of the Three Icy Heaven Veins almost being ambushed by Red Cloud using the World Purifying Pot was already etched in his mind.

“Hmph!” Red Cloud, however, couldn't be bothered to exchange words with Cold Star and simply transformed into a rainbow light, vanishing from the spot.
