Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Zhao Yu emerged from underground, looking at the corpse of the poison-drenched demon toad, and revealed a slight smile, "I now have the materials needed for the advancement of the Red Emperor! Moreover, the White Ghost Emperor has swallowed the Nascent Soul of the Blue Toad True Monarch, which can conveniently elevate my Divine Sense to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

From Ning Haozi's memories, Zhao Yu knew that cultivators reaped countless benefits if their Divine Sense was strong when advancing to the Nascent Soul.

However, Cultivation Techniques for cultivating Divine Sense were extremely rare. Even the Qingling Sword Sect did not possess such a technique, and only through some defying Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could a cultivator possess a Nascent Soul level Divine Sense while at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage.

"We have seen our master!"

Le Ziling led many cultivators from the Ziyun Sect to come forward and pay their respects.

Zhao Yu said, "The Blue Toad True Monarch fought a magical combat with me and lost Spirit Toad Mountain to me! Let's go take over Spirit Toad Mountain right away!" Your next read is at empire

A glint of joy flashed in Le Ziling's eyes as she said, "Yes, Master!"

Although the Ziyun Sect had Le Ziling, a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator, they only occupied a Fourth Order Low-Grade Spirit Vein.

Spirit Toad Mountain was the lair of the Blue Toad True Monarch. It also sat upon a Fourth-Order Superior Spirit Vein. Although it was far from being a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein, it was still far superior to the Fourth-Order Low-Grade Spirit Vein the Ziyun Sect occupied.

With Zhao Yu, a powerful being who controlled two Fourth-Order monsters, taking over Spirit Toad Mountain was naturally a piece of cake.

Before long, numerous Spirit Boats flew out from the Ziyun Sect and headed towards Spirit Toad Mountain.

Spirit Toad Mountain.

A series of Spirit Boats came from afar and stopped above Spirit Toad Mountain.

An Escape Light shot out from Spirit Toad Mountain. A short-statured Golden Core Fifth Level Cultivator with several pustules on his face, making him look ugly, flew out atop a cloud and loudly said, "I am the Blue Toad True Monarch's fourth disciple, Chan Yuan the True Person. May I know the purpose of your visit?"

The White Ghost Emperor exuded surges of pitch-black ghostly energy, releasing the terrifying pressure of a Fourth-Order Evil Ghost with a hideous smile. He took out the head of the Blue Toad True Monarch and said, "The Blue Toad True Monarch attempted to take away my master's Daoist arena. He gambled Spirit Toad Mountain against my master and has now become a corpse. This is his head.

Hand over Spirit Toad Mountain, or do not blame me for slaughtering all of you!"

"This is impossible!!"

Chan Yuan the True Person's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and a hint of despair flashed through his eyes as he exclaimed.

The many cultivators on Spirit Toad Mountain were all dependent on the Blue Toad True Monarch's patronage. With the death of the Blue Toad True Monarch, their only fate was to be driven away.

"Since you have violated the agreement, then all of you shall die!"

The White Ghost Emperor opened his mouth wide, revealing a ferocious smile. The pitch-black ghostly energy around his body surged and swept downward.

Chan Yuan the True Person felt a pain in his chest as his heart was pierced by the White Ghost Emperor's claw, and then had his head casually crushed by the White Ghost Emperor.

Streams of Spiritual Light surged within Spirit Toad Mountain as the Third-Order Superior Spirit Wood Grand Formation, the Ten Thousand Calamities Spirit Wood Formation, activated. Numerous Spirit Calamity Trees transformed into wooden flood dragons, lunging at the White Ghost Emperor.

"Too weak!"

The White Ghost Emperor smiled grimly, opened his mouth, and exhaled a column of pitch-black ghostly energy that descended from the sky, striking the Ten Thousand Calamities Spirit Wood Formation.

All the wooden flood dragons that surged towards the White Ghost Emperor crumbled to nothingness, and the Spiritual Power nodes within Spirit Toad Mountain also exploded and collapsed.

The Ten Thousand Calamities Spirit Wood Formation was directly corrupted and destroyed.

The White Ghost Emperor activated the Illusory Ghost Eyes, and vast swathes of Ghost Fog poured into Spirit Toad Mountain below.

Several Golden Core Cultivators fled in all directions from Spirit Toad Mountain.

However, once the Golden Core cultivators were swept up by the Ghost Fog, their eyes became confused, and they began to slaughter each other.

Witnessing this scene, Le Ziling felt a trace of fear run through her heart, "This is a Fourth-Order Evil Ghost! One of the most terrifying creatures! Even Nascent Soul cultivators would fear this dreadful creature, it's truly frightening!!"

In the Great Qian Empire, whenever Evil Ghosts and Spirits appeared, they would be dealt with by cultivators. A Third-Order Evil Ghost was already a significant event, leading to a mobilization of experts from the Great Sects to hunt them down. It had been a long time since a Fourth-Order Evil Ghost had appeared.

The founder of the Yin Ghost Sect had once nurtured a Fourth-Order Spirit Ghost and with its power, he dominated a region and established a sect in the Great Qian Empire.

When the Yin Ghost Sect's founder died, his life-bound Spirit Ghost perished with him. The sect's influence plummeted and they were eventually forced to leave the Great Qian Empire.

"Alright! You may go in and clean up the battlefield! But do not covet your master's belongings, or do not blame me for being ruthless!"

The White Ghost Emperor cracked open his mouth, glanced at Le Ziling beside him, and said with a ferocious smile.

"Your subordinate will surely not disappoint Your Excellency!"

With a shiver in her heart, Le Ziling bowed and then led the many cultivators of the Ziyun Sect towards Spirit Toad Mountain to plunder its resources.

The news of the fall of the Nascent Soul cultivator, the True Immortal of Blue Toad, spread rapidly throughout the entire Great Qian Empire, shaking the empire to its core.

Within Yunluo Immortal City.

True Immortal Xuan Yun said with disbelief, "The True Immortal of Blue Toad is dead! It's unbelievable. I recall that he was cautious by nature, not one to easily fall into mortal peril. How could he have died at the hands of Zhao Yu?"

The two Nascent Soul cultivators of Yunluo Immortal City were confident in defeating the True Immortal of Blue Toad, but even with the use of spiritual treasures, they were not absolutely sure they could kill him.

Immortal Yunluo said, "Besides that Fourth-Order Evil Ghost, Zhao Yu now has an additional Fourth-Order Demon Corpse by his side! His Evil Ghost and Demon Corpse far surpass other cultivators at the same level in the Nascent Soul realm, exceptionally ferocious! Luckily, we have not offended him!"

True Immortal Xuan Yun said, "Why don't we arrange a marriage alliance between Jingxuan and Zhao Yu? Although Zhao Yu is known for his indulgence in pleasures, he is still quite loyal and dedicated, a man worth entrusting."

Immortal Yunluo shook her head slightly and replied, "No! I wish only for Jingxuan to become dao companions with someone she truly loves. Zhao Yu has too many women!"

True Immortal Xuan Yun said, "I'm off to the front lines to relieve Fei Yang, the old ghost!"

Immortal Yunluo said, "Be careful!"

True Immortal Xuan Yun directly harnessed his magical treasure and turned into an Escape Light, flying towards the frontline where the two empires were battling it out.

As True Immortal Xuan Yun flew a thousand miles away from Yunluo Immortal City, suddenly, a large net as black as ink shot out and expanded into a curtain of darkness, covering a hundred miles.

Four Nascent Soul cultivators flew out from the side, blocking all of True Immortal Xuan Yun's escape routes.

These four Nascent Soul cultivators consisted of a stunning beauty in white palace attire, tall and with a full figure that stretched the fabric of her garment, her skin smooth as jade, her hair cascading down like a waterfall to her shoulders, her cherry lips and delicate nose exuding an enchanting charm with every move she made.

Another was a tall and burly man, with a sharp, sword-like aura, handsome features, dressed in a white robe, a peerless swordsman.

Another was a tall figure in black robes, with graying hair and a fierce face, an old man.

The last was a round, corpulent man resembling a ball, with a face carrying a very amicable smile, a middle-aged cultivator.

Upon seeing the four people before him, True Immortal Xuan Yun's heart sank as he said, "Thousand Moon Mysterious Spirit Immortal, True Immortal of Ten Thousand Swords, White Bone Daoist, Ghost-headed Monk! How did the four of you learn of my whereabouts?"

Thousand Moon Mysterious Spirit Immortal was the Sect Master of the Joyous Sect of Thousand Spirits and Wonders, True Immortal of Ten Thousand Swords was the Sect Leader of the Qingling Sword Sect, White Bone Daoist was the Supreme Elder of the Xuan Bone Demon Sect, and Ghost-headed Monk was the Supreme Elder of the Evil Ghost Devil Sect.

If the four of them joined forces, even True Immortal Xuan Yun faced the danger of falling.
