Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Zhao Yu said indifferently, "What a coincidence! I am also planning to establish an alliance for Loose Cultivators! Venerable Kumu will be the first Nascent Soul Cultivator to join the alliance! If you are willing to join my alliance, obey my commands, and be at my beck and call, I can grant you a cave mansion for residence!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of True Monarch Jinling and the other six Nascent Soul Cultivators slightly changed. They were all high and mighty Nascent Soul Cultivators, with True Monarch Jinling possessing Nascent Soul Sixth Level Cultivation and True Monarch Feiyang also having Nascent Soul Fifth Level Cultivation.

Together, the six of them could even contend against a great cultivator, naturally, they would not easily submit to the merely Nascent Soul First Level Zhao Yu.

True Monarch Jinling said coldly, "Then we have no choice but to settle our differences through magical combat!"

"Then the six of you, please come down and fight! If you can defeat Zhao in one move or half a move within the Ghost Region, then Zhao will concede this ancient ruin to you."

Zhao Yu smiled faintly and, along with Venerable Kumu, transformed into a streak of Escape Light and plunged into the Ghost Region below.

True Monarch Jinling's brow furrowed slightly as he looked down at the Ghost Region shrouded in Ghost Fog, feeling an ominous premonition. He turned to True Monarch Feiyang and asked, "True Monarch Feiyang, what do you think?"

True Monarch Feiyang said with a solemn face, "That is a Fourth-Order Specter. There must be a Fourth-Order Evil Ghost inside! Within the Ghost Region, that Fourth-Order Evil Ghost's combat power is probably comparable to a mid-level Nascent Soul Cultivator."

"It is said that Zhao Yu, the City Lord of Heavenly Departing Immortal City, is proficient in formations, and is one of the top Array Masters in the Blue Sky Sea. He has occupied this place for over a month and has probably set up a formation here. However, due to the limited time, he could at most have set up a high-quality Third Order formation, which is not to be feared."

"Although this person is a Nascent Soul First Level Cultivator, he slayed True Monarch Tianli, took Venerable Kumu as his subordinate, and has taken control of this place; we must not underestimate him!"

True Monarch Jinling said gravely, "I am also aware that this person should not be underestimated. However, a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein is an immortal foundation that lasts for all eternity. Only by obtaining this Spirit Vein can we ensure our lineage endures through the generations!"

A Fifth-Order Spirit Vein can be used to cultivate all kinds of top Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, breed demonic beasts and insects, nurture demonic corpses and Evil Ghosts, as well as rent out cave mansions and recruit Loose Cultivators.

In the Blue Sky Sea, those top forces are able to continue their Nascent Soul Cultivator lineage without interruption because they possess Fifth-Order Spirit Veins, through which they can cultivate various rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and nurture even more of them.

A cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root, given sufficient resources and a powerful enough Cultivation Technique, has a twenty to thirty percent chance of advancing to Nascent Soul Cultivation.

The top forces, by nurturing seven or eight Heavenly Spirit Root geniuses, might acquire a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Therefore, these top forces constantly expand their power, cultivate families of cultivators, aiming to nurture more genius cultivators.

Fifth-Order Spirit Veins continuously produce all kinds of rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and can also slightly increase the odds for cultivators to break through their cultivation bottlenecks. Naturally, they are a coveted target for all Nascent Soul Cultivators.

True Monarch Feiyang said, "The six of us joining forces can contend even with a great cultivator! Whatever tricks Zhao Yu has, we will break through them! However, this battle will be extremely dangerous. Regardless of how many Nascent Soul Cultivators either side loses, the Spirit Vein must be divided equally, and we must give extra care to the descendants of any fallen cultivators."

True Monarch Jinling laughed heartily, "Of course, that's a given!"

"Even so, let us join forces and break this formation!"

With a light shout, True Monarch Feiyang directly sacrificed a Spiritual Treasure, the Spirit Fire Mirror.

The Spirit Fire Mirror swelled in the wind, expanding to the size of ten zhang. The Spiritual Patterns on it flashed brightly, and a fiery-red flame shot out from it, transforming into a sea of flames that surged toward the Ghost Fog below.

"Sect Master, allow me to lend you a helping hand!"

True Monarch Huangfeng, who looked nearly spherical, cracked a wide smile and directly sacrificed a yellow treasure fan.

The yellow treasure fan was directly fanned, and a burst of yellow wind exploded instantly, falling upon the Spiritual Fire ejected by the Spirit Fire Mirror. The wind assisted the fire, making the Spiritual Fire burn even more fiercely, and forming a raging firestorm.

As soon as the firestorm fell among the Specters, it immediately burnt and purified large swathes of Ghost Fog.

Types of Ghosts like the White Ghost Emperor are most afraid of Lightning Techniques, followed by this kind of firestorm. If left unhindered, the Specters amassed by the White Ghost Emperor would be broken through in just a few days.

"Firestorm? Too weak!"

Zhao Yu, hidden within the Specters, sneered coldly, and directly deployed the Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power. A crimson fire true dragon flew out from below, entered the midst of the firestorm, and opened its mouth to inhale.

The continuous firestorm was immediately sucked in by the fire true dragon and then was refined bit by bit by the Heavenly Separation True Fire.

To break a fire-based Divine Skill, the first choice would naturally be water-based Divine Skills. However, the Heavenly Separation True Fire is amongst the top-notch fire-based Divine Skills, likewise having a suppressive divine effect on ordinary fire-based Divine Skills. This is the might of the top-tier Divine Skills.

Flying Yang True Monarch's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he immediately put away the Spirit Fire Mirror, saying, "That is the Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power! In Zhao Yu's hands, this Divine Power is much stronger than even the Heavenly Departing True Monarch!"

As the firestorm stopped, Zhao Yu also retracted the Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power.

The Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power is indeed extremely powerful, but it can also be broken by other top-tier Spiritual Treasures, water-based Divine Skills, or even some peculiar Divine Skills.

If the fire true dragon released by Zhao Yu were to be captured by a magical treasure, then he would only be able to start over in seeking a Spiritual Flame and painstakingly cultivate this Divine Skill again.

Jin Ling True Monarch decisively said, "Then let's charge into this Ghost Region! With the six of us teaming up, even within the Ghost Region, we can kill this man! A mere Nascent Soul First Level cultivator, even if he relies on the might of Evil Ghosts, can't be that powerful!"

"Good!"

Flying Yang True Monarch flew down from the Spirit Boat, along with Huang Feng True Monarch and Luo Sheng True Monarch on his side, towards the Ghost Region.

Jin Ling True Monarch also led Wu Daoist and Huan Ling Fairy towards the Ghost Region.

As Flying Yang True Monarch entered the Ghost Region, he immediately brought out a bronze lamp.

As soon as the bronze lamp appeared, its flame burned, sending out rays of exceptionally clear evil-exorcising light in all directions.

Under the illumination of this evil-exorcising light, large swathes of Ghost Fog were directly purified, and the six Nascent Soul cultivators also saw Zhao Yu not far ahead.

"Fellow Daoists, this place is the foundation I have chosen! Since you insist on forcibly taking it, then please be prepared to die here today!"

Zhao Yu sighed softly, directly deploying the Mountain Divine Light for protection, and then with a wave of his hand, he brought out the Mountain Seal.

The Mountain Seal whirls once, growing in the wind, expanding to a size of ten zhang, and rays of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light swept toward the six Nascent Soul cultivators.

With one sweep of the Earth Magnetism Mystical Light, the bodies of the six Nascent Soul cultivators all sank, as if each of them were shouldering small mountains.
