71: One move away

Yue Country border.

The Jie Dan Cultivators of the Three Great Countries gathered.

Xu Qi'an, leading three Jie Dan Cultivators including Water Lingmiao, also rushed to this place.

As soon as they met, Yuan Yi mocked herself, "Fellow Daoist Chu, your plan of using their plan against them is truly remarkable!"

"I didn't expect you to not only deceive the entire Yue Country, but also the Cultivators of our Three Great Countries!"

"In terms of strategy, I am no match for you!"

Xu Qi'an stroked his chin and smiled, "Hehe, Fellow Daoist Yuan is joking, how could I, Xu Qi'an, have any strategy, it was all just a fluke."

"However, Fellow Daoist Yuan, do you now admit that the sneak attack nine years ago was done by your Three Great Countries?"

Yuan Yi sneered, "Heh, what if it was?"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, could it be that you can still complain to the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

"Your Yue Country is thriving now, why would the Heavenly Dao Sect care about what happened back then?"

"However, Fellow Daoist Chu, you haven't completely won yet!"

"Now you only have four Jie Dan Cultivators, which still hasn't met the requirements of the Nascent Soul Decree."

"And there are only two months left until the deadline arrives!"

"It's just that I don't know if your remaining few Dan Formation seeds can live up to expectations. If not, your Yue Country will likewise not escape this calamity of national destruction!"

This sentence fell upon all the Yue Country Jie Dan Cultivators present.

As the time was approaching, they also understood that this was a matter of life and death.

However, they still chose to believe.

Xu Qi'an also fell silent at this moment, then looked towards the direction of Floating Cloud Sect.

He took a deep breath.

Then he sat down cross-legged with Water Lingmiao, Ying Kaihe, Shen Liang, and others.

Quietly waiting for the final moment.

After only a few days, a beam of spiritual energy reaching the sky rose up once again.

Not only that, but another beam of spiritual energy followed closely behind.

"The remaining two Dan Formation seeds, actually formed their Dan at the same time?"

Xu Qi'an opened his eyes and murmured, "Victory or defeat is at this moment!"

But for some unknown reason, when the two spiritual energy vortexes for Dan Formation appeared, the spiritual energy of Floating Cloud Sect actually became slightly chaotic.

This slight chaos wouldn't matter normally, but it happened during Dan Formation, and it was the most crucial moment of forming the Dan!

Water Lingmiao and others saw this and immediately their expressions turned ugly.

"How could this happen?"

"When two people form their Dan at the same place at the same time, will it disturb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing it to become chaotic?"

Xu Qi'an was also slightly surprised to see this scene.

"This kind of situation can still occur?"

"What is the reason for this?"

Xu Qi'an had never seen this situation before, nor had he ever learned that such a change could occur, otherwise he would never have placed the people forming their Dan together.

Everything he did was for safety, after all, Floating Cloud Sect was the safest place in Yue Country.

However, Yuan Yi, Daoist Wu, and Chu Wu and others were beaming with joy upon seeing this scene.

They didn't expect things to take such a turn; in the end, it was still on their side.

"Hahaha, Xu Qi'an, you have lost after all!"

"You made so many preparations in vain, overlooked such a detail, and thus ruined the entire grand plan!"

Xu Qi'an sighed.

How could he have predicted such an absurd thing?

The matter of dual Dan Formation in the same area causing chaos in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, let alone thinking about it, had never actually happened.

Why did they, Yue Country, encounter it?

Xu Qi'an had to suspect that someone was interfering.

And the primary suspects were the Three Great Countries led by Yuan Yi and the other two.

Xu Qi'an's expression was slightly cold, and his voice was hoarse, "Did you do this?"

Yuan Yi, however, put on the air of a victor and sneered, "Fellow Daoist Chu, don't be anxious, we are all here, who could possibly disturb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

"Such an act would require at least a legendary Deity Transformation Stage great power Cultivator!"

Xu Qi'an snorted coldly in his heart, but he still agreed with Yuan Yi's words to some extent.

Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators can utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, no longer relying on their own spiritual energy.

In other words, the spiritual energy in a certain area can be influenced by Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators.

Spiritual energy influenced by Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators will become chaotic or stable.

This depends on the Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator's own thoughts.

Due to the chaos in the regional spiritual energy, the two spiritual energy vortexes above Floating Cloud Sect eventually began to collapse not long after they formed.

Even though the Cultivators in seclusion within the cave mansion desperately wanted to stabilize the spiritual energy vortexes, it was completely useless.

And Xu Qi'an and others couldn't help at all.

The Dan Formation of the last two Dan Formation seeds ended in failure...

It was for such a mysterious and unpredictable reason.

"This..."

Xu Qi'an had no way of finding the cause of the spiritual energy chaos, and even if he had the intention, it was already too late.

Yuan Yi and others laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist Chu, your Yue Country still has two months left, I wonder if you can find another Jie Dan Cultivator?"

Xu Qi'an's expression remained unchanged, but he had a different thought in his mind: "At that time, at worst, we will both suffer. If my Yue Country cannot exist, then neither can your Yuan Country, Chu Country, or Wu Country."

Xu Qi'an did not say this sentence aloud because the deadline had not yet arrived, and there was still a possibility of a turnaround.

Otherwise, it would be easy for him to slaughter all the Jie Dan Cultivators of the Three Great Countries by himself.

However, the price would be being hunted and killed by the Heavenly Dao Sect.

This was not an exaggeration for Xu Qi'an at present.

With his seventh-layer Dan Formation cultivation, comparable to the early Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense, just the Bewitching Soul Great Art and Soul Seal would be enough to control all the Jie Dan Cultivators of the Three Great Countries.

However, Xu Qi'an temporarily had no such intention, mainly because he was afraid of being exposed.

But if people were truly pushed too hard, Xu Qi'an couldn't say for sure.

After all, Yuan Country, led by Yuan Yi, frequently caused trouble for his Yue Country.

Even an aunt can tolerate it, but an uncle cannot!

Even if it didn't work, at worst, he could flee to other Cultivation Countries, go into seclusion and Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage, and then return. He might even turn the Three Great Countries upside down.

Xu Qi'an sneered, "You don't need to worry about this, Fellow Daoist Yuan, I still have a solution for this matter."

After speaking, Xu Qi'an led Water Lingmiao and the other two away on rays of light.

Yuan Yi and others also did not linger, laughing as they left.

Back at Floating Cloud Sect.

Several Jie Dan Cultivators began to discuss countermeasures.

Water Lingmiao pondered, "It's impossible to Cultivate more Jie Dan Cultivators now, there isn't enough time."

"So we must supplement our strength from external sources."

"The key is still to start with the Decree. The Decree says that Yue Country needs to provide five Jie Dan Cultivators, but it doesn't necessarily have to be Yue Country Cultivators. Perhaps we can find external help!"

This idea received the unanimous agreement of Ying Kaihe and Shen Liang.

It seemed that this was the only plan for now.

But could they really invite external help?

After all, the quota that each Cultivation Country needed to complete for the Heavenly Dao Sect was much larger than the number of Jie Dan Cultivators they possessed.

Even if there were some, it would be difficult for others to lend them.

Even if they borrowed, they would definitely be asking for a huge price.

And at that time, if they suddenly turned against them, wouldn't that be completely handing over their lives to others?

One must know that the reason the quota for this Nascent Soul Decree was so high was because Yuan Country was causing trouble.

Therefore, who would dare to lend Jie Dan Cultivators to Yue Country, offending a Nascent Soul Stage and Yuan Country?

Therefore, Xu Qi'an's view was not like this.

However, he first smiled, "Have you all forgotten about my Black Water Flood Dragon?"

"He is also in seclusion now, and perhaps he will break through soon and become a third-order demonic beast comparable to a Jie Dan Cultivator!"

When everyone heard this, a hint of surprise immediately appeared on their faces.

"Brother Chu's move is a brilliant one!"

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid the Heavenly Dao Sect and Yuan Country will use the phrase 'five Jie Dan Cultivators' to make things difficult for us!"

Xu Qi'an nodded, "Lingmiao is right, I have also thought about this matter."

"So, to avoid this situation, we still need to find a Jie Dan Cultivator."

"This Jie Dan Cultivator must be trustworthy, not turn against us at the last minute, and also not be afraid of the pressure from the Nascent Soul Stage and Yuan Country, be willing to help us, and participate in the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

"After all, as long as we meet the quota and don't violate the rules, the Nascent Soul Stage of the Heavenly Dao Sect won't deliberately make things difficult for us just for Yuan Country!"

Water Lingmiao also nodded, but sighed, "It's just that such a person is too difficult to find!"

As the few people were talking, Xu Qi'an followed the clues in his memory and found a person.

"I wonder if this person is still alive, or if they have formed their Dan?"

Just as Xu Qi'an was thinking, a report came.

"Reporting to Sect Leader, the head of the Jiang Family of Yue Country, Jiang Li, requests an audience!"
