Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

```

Above the ruins of the Mountain Sect, an Escape Light flew from the distance, and it was none other than Yun Jingxuan.

Yun Jingxuan clenched her silver teeth and frantically urged her Mana, calling out, "Senior Zhao Yu, I am Yun Jingxuan. Yunluo Immortal City has been breached by the traitor Gong Yangfeng in conjunction with the Great Cultivator Fei Luo Zhenjun from the Myriad Changes Demon Sect! Gong Yangfeng is currently dueling with my senior sister Luo Xinxin.

I beg you, on the basis of the alliance between our two families, please save my senior sister!"

An Escape Light emerged from the cave mansion within the ruins of the Mountain Sect and landed next to Yun Jingxuan—it was Zhao Yu. The White Ghost Emperor and the Ninth Extreme Corpse Emperor were also following him.

Zhao Yu said, "Lead the way!"

Yunluo Fairy was indeed a very good ally. Over the past two years, through her, Zhao Yu had purchased many precious materials from the Yunluo Commerce Guild and she had also ensured that the latest intelligence reached his hands.

Zhao Yu had already relocated Li Xianjiao and the others to the Lan Kong Sea. Although this ensured their safety, it also considerably limited his access to intelligence. It was thanks to the support from Yunluo Fairy that Zhao Yu was able to obtain the latest updates on battles from the two great empires, understanding the changes in the situation.

"Please follow me!"

Yun Jingxuan clenched her silver teeth and turned into an Escape Light, flying ahead.

Zhao Yu closely followed behind Yun Jingxuan.

When the two arrived at the battleground where Luo Xinxin and Gong Yangfeng were dueling, they saw a starlight spear piercing directly through Luo Xinxin's right arm. The terrifying power of the stars exploded, shattering her right arm into dust.

"Sister Xinxin!!"

Yun Jingxuan's eyes turned crimson, and with a piercing scream, she immediately brought out a Supreme Grade Magical Treasure, the Star Sword, maneuvering the boundless radiance of the stars, she thrust at Gong Yangfeng.

Gong Yangfeng sneered and pointed the Star Dragon Lance, which shone brightly as it met the Star Sword.

Upon the clash of spear and sword, the luminance of the stars collided, and the Star Sword was sent flying back, returning to Yun Jingxuan's hand.

"Senior Zhao Yu!!"

Yun Jingxuan's eyes were bloodshot as she looked towards Zhao Yu, puzzled as to why he had not yet made a move.

Zhao Yu's gaze was grave as he slowly said, "Gong Yangfeng, you see me and yet you show no fear! You must have something to rely on! What virtue or ability do I, Zhao Yu, have to warrant the efforts of four esteemed friends to assassinate me? This is indeed a grand gesture!"

"Zhao Yu, although you're just a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, you're quite capable, even killing my junior brother! I've wanted to kill him myself for two hundred years, but after all, he is the Supreme Elder of our Evil Ghost Devil Sect! Since you killed him, you'll have to pay with your life!"

Chilling winds swept through as Ghost Head Tu emerged from the void, staring at Zhao Yu with a ferocious smile.

"Zhao friend, if you're willing to surrender and join our Thousand Spirits Myriad Mystical Joyous Sect, I can make the call and spare your life,"

Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, the ravishingly beautiful Thousand Moon Miao Ling Fairy, who exuded endless charm with every move, stepped out from the void and heaved a soft sigh.

Yun Jingxuan was also a great beauty, but compared to Thousand Moon Miao Ling Fairy, she seemed like a young girl who had yet to bloom—a green leaf that highlighted the red flower.

Zhao Yu only glanced at Thousand Moon Miao Ling Fairy, and his mind stirred subtly, feeling as if she were a fairy from the moon palace, like the woman of his dreams, making him want to abandon all caution and just listen to her talk.

"What a potent Bewitching Technique! Truly befitting of the Sect Master of the Joyous Sect, with its myriad of spirits and remarkable charms! If I hadn't been cultivating the Mountain Sutra, I fear I wouldn't have been able to resist her allure at all."

Zhao Yu circulated the Mountain Scripture Mana within his body, and the thought of offering everything to Fairy Thousand Moon Mystical Spirit vanished instantly. Even so, he felt a chill in his heart as he realized just how terrifying top-grade charm techniques could be.

True Sword Immortal stepped forward from the side and glared at Zhao Yu, shouting sternly, "You little thief, what are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll gouge your eyeballs out!"

White Bone Taoist emerged from one side, smiling grimly, "Zhao Yu, hand over the secret technique for cultivating Fierce Ghost Fiend Corpses, and I could spare your life. Otherwise, I shall have you experience all one hundred and eight exquisite tortures of the Xuan Bone Demon Sect!"

Yun Jingxuan looked at the four Nascent Soul Cultivators with sheer despair in her eyes, and she smiled miserably, "I'm sorry, Zhao Yu, this is a trap! It seems I've led you to your death!"

These four Nascent Soul Cultivators were the top Nascent Soul experts from the Hanlong Empire. When the four of them joined forces, even True Immortal Xuan Yun would become prey. Only a great Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator could possibly contend with these four Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"Even so, I ask the four of you to please die right here!"

A glint of cold light flashed across Zhao Yu's eyes as he patted his Spirit Beast Bag, and a streak of scarlet firelight flashed, with Chihuang appearing in front of him in an instant.

Numerous scarlet Spiritual Patterns emerged on Chihuang's body, and with a breath, it discharged a jet of scarlet Dragon Flame towards True Sword Immortal in the sky.

The White Ghost Emperor cracked open his mouth, activating the Illusory Ghost Eyes. Countless pitch-black Curse Seals emerged in his pupils as vast swathes of Ghost Fog spread out from his body, engulfing all directions. It lunged directly at Fairy Thousand Moon Mystical Spirit.

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's body was covered in numerous pitch-black Demonic Patterns. Opening its gaping maw, it sprayed out a column of as black as ink Corpse Qi Pillar, blasting towards True Sword Immortal.

Zhao Yu directly brought out his supreme-grade upgraded Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Mountain Seal. The Mountain Seal emitted strands of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light that enveloped him, forming a Defense Barrier around his body.

"To think you would take the initiative to attack us, you're seeking death!"

White Bone Taoist smiled grimly and summoned his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the White Bone Battle Armor. His body fused with the White Bone Battle Armor, transforming into a three-zhang-tall monster clad entirely in white bone armor.

That was one of the four Divine Skills of the Xuan Bone Demon Sect, the Bone Armor Fusion Technique.

Once the Bone Armor Fusion Technique was employed, White Bone Taoist's defensive capacity would exceed that of the White Bone Battle Armor, and his physical prowess would surpass that of an average mid-stage Nascent Soul Body Cultivation expert, while also becoming greatly resistant to various Divine Power Secret Arts.

Before White Bone Taoist employed the Bone Armor Fusion Technique, even he could be swayed by Fairy Thousand Moon Mystical Spirit's charm technique. But once the technique was in effect, even Fairy Thousand Moon Mystical Spirit's strongest Charm Technique couldn't shake him in the slightest.

After transforming into the white bone giant, White Bone Taoist leaped forth, charging towards Zhao Yu.

The Ghost Head Monk mirthlessly smiled and directly summoned the Myriad Ghosts Banner. A Fourth Order Low Grade Evil Ghost emerged and, after absorbing countless Evil Ghosts within the banner, transformed into a Fourth Order mid-grade Evil Ghost and pounced towards Zhao Yu.

"Sigh!"

Fairy Thousand Moon Mystical Spirit sighed faintly, stretching out her five fingers to summon the Spiritual Treasure, Eight Desolations Sky-Burning Mirror. A streak of reddish spiritual light flashed as a scarlet fire serpent burst forth from the Eight Desolations Sky-Burning Mirror, hurtling towards the White Ghost Emperor.

"Grain-of-Rice Pearl, yet it dares to shine?"

True Sword Immortal sneered, summoning his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Green Spirit True Light Sword.

The moment the Green Spirit True Light Sword flew out, it split into two, then four, eight, and sixteen, eventually transforming into sixteen green Magic Swords, forming the Green Spirit Sword Formation.
