434: The War Begins

Ziyang Mountain, the mountain gate of Azure Origin Sect's Purple Yang True Person, and also Zhou Changle's Revered Master.

Zhou Luo didn't expect the other party to be on Ziyang Mountain.

Besides this location, Zhou Changle also sent a message.

Because this war was too widespread, his Revered Master, Purple Yang True Person, was also about to head to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

This gave Zhou Luo an opportunity to enter Ziyang Mountain.

However, rashly breaking into a Golden Core True Person's mountain gate would have a negative impact if discovered.

Although many of his children had joined Purple Yang True Person's faction over the years, he truly had little interaction with the other party, let alone any deep connection.

Therefore, Zhou Luo did not choose to enter Ziyang Mountain. Instead, he sent a message to Zhou Changle, asking him to relay a verbal message, roughly stating that he wished to meet Dragon Cloudfrost.

As long as the other party agreed to meet, he would have an excuse to enter Ziyang Mountain.

After writing and sending the message back, Wang Lang happened to show up.

"Grand Manager, I could only find these Materials."

He handed over a storage ring, his expression somewhat awkward.

Some Time ago, Zhou Luo instructed him to look out for some Materials. He initially thought it would be very simple, but even after searching the entire Qingyuan City, he only found a few types.

This made him feel guilty for failing the other party's trust.

"I understand. How is the business in the city?" Zhou Luo inquired.

He didn't care about the quantity of these Materials.

Because these Materials were mainly prepared for him to condense his Golden Core.

Now that he was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, it was natural for him to start preparing for the Golden Core Realm.

More than this, he was concerned about Tianxia Tavern's attitude.

According to the information he had gathered, Tianxia Tavern should be backed by the Imperial Family Lineage. Although Dragon Yunting was an Elder, he wasn't enough to influence the entire Tianxia Tavern.

So even if the other party lost power, Tianxia Tavern's businesses in Qingyuan City were not affected.

Now that Long Yu was arrogant and brazenly wanted to attack Azure Origin Sect, what was Tianxia Tavern's attitude?

After all, he had a close relationship with Dragon Cloudfrost. If Tianxia Tavern intended to stay out of it, then severing ties with him at lightning speed would be the best choice.

"Business is alright. Although there's been a decrease, it's within the normal range," Wang Lang respectfully replied.

During this period, due to the war between the two great Immortal Sects, everyone had gone to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range to watch.

Business in Qingyuan City suddenly lost a lot of customers, while Jiang City saw a large influx of Immortals.

Fortunately, Zhou Luo was prepared early and arranged for a large number of the Zhou Family's forces to enter the city.

Otherwise, the Zhou Family Cultivators who originally maintained order in Jiang City would have been unable to handle so many mixed Cultivators.

Zhou Luo nodded slightly.

It seemed Tianxia Tavern was not affected by this matter, which was good. It saved him the trouble of having to consider their thoughts.

However, since Dragon Yunting was no longer a member of Tianxia Tavern's Elder Council, Long Yu must have taken his place. He wondered what would happen next.

"Go ahead. If there's any news from the tavern, report it immediately."

"Understood, Grand Manager." Wang Lang withdrew.

Only after he left did Zhou Luo turn his gaze towards the storage ring.

Condensing a Golden Core not only required repeated refinement of magical power but also needed various Materials to be transported into the body for assistance.

It was just like refining a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Except this Time, the Pills were being refined inside the body.

Condensing a Golden Core required five main medicinal ingredients and three hundred and sixty-five supplementary ingredients.

What Wang Lang provided was merely a drop in the bucket, but there was still plenty of Time, so there was no rush.

He looked up outside the great hall, his gaze piercing through the clouds and falling upon the azure sky.

He wondered how much impact this war would bring...

Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

This place was once known as the most chaotic and complex area in the Qingyuan Domain.

Because Azure Origin Sect had clearly stated that they would not interfere with anything in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range and would treat it as a place for Disciples to gain experience.

This also led to it becoming a place where countless Evil Cultivators and Rogue Cultivator lived, to the extent that ordinary Cultivators dared not step foot in it, let alone enter its depths.

However, now, this paradise for Evil Cultivators had completely turned into Hell.

Countless Evil Cultivators and Rogue Cultivator died in the battles between the two great Immortal Sects.

After so many years, this mountain range was now frighteningly silent.

The Cultivators who were originally all over the mountains had long since left the center of this war, either going far away or sneaking into Jiang City.

The entire Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range was now filled with Disciples from the two great Immortal Sects.

The two sides were fiercely battling, using the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range as the boundary.

Boom boom boom—

In the vast mountain range, deafening explosions resounded from Time to Time, dazzling spiritual light soared into the sky, countless trees collapsed and broke, the earth trembled and cracked, and the scene was extremely tragic.

On a mountain peak, Disciples of Azure Origin Sect and Crimson Light Sect met on a narrow path.

Without a word, both sides unleashed their strongest methods and began to engage the enemy.

At this moment, they knew clearly that if they didn't fight, they would die. To protect the Sect's honor, they had to pay with their Life.

"kill these guys who don't know their Life from death!"

The leading Foundation Establishment cultivator raised his arm and shouted, his entire body surging with magical power. He swung his sword, raising a large swathe of sword light, incomparably sharp.

The other Disciples of Azure Origin Sect stepped forward one after another.

"Hmph, overestimating yourselves."

On the Crimson Light Sect's side, someone also decisively took action. He raised a large hammer, heavy and powerful, and launched an attack with irresistible momentum, striking towards the opponent.

The two sides engaged in fierce battle.

And in this vast mountain range with no discernible end, such battles were happening one after another.

Since the two sides were going to have a decisive battle, what they were naturally competing on was their foundation.

Therefore, both sides basically had one Foundation Establishment Expert leading a group of Qi Training cultivators into battle.

Previously, Crimson Light Sect had violated the unspoken rule by directly sending a Golden Core True Person to infiltrate the ranks, catching Azure Origin Sect off guard and leading to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range being seized.

Now, Azure Origin Sect's main force had returned and sent a large number of Disciples, barely maintaining the battle situation.

Both sides knew that without external aid, relying solely on themselves would at most result in mutual destruction.

Therefore, the battle situation stabilized again.

Everyone was waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the sky near the Qingyuan Domain side of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

From Time to Time, long rainbows streaked across the sky, and airships cruised like clouds, covering the sky and sun, their momentum vast.

On those airships, the unique mark of Azure Origin Sect was imprinted, displaying an incomparably terrifying power.

Hundreds and thousands of airships shuttled through, some were just normal size, while others were comparable to mountains, densely packed, as if they were going to cover the entire sky, terrifying to behold.

Azure Origin Sect's true main force had arrived.

This Time, the Sect basically came out in full force, tens of thousands of Disciples appeared on the battleships, arriving from the sky, like heavenly soldiers and generals going on an expedition, shaking the mountains and rivers.

Other Cultivators in the Qingyuan Domain looked up and saw this scene, their hearts startled.

As the largest force in the Qingyuan Domain, Azure Origin Sect rarely displayed its strength.

Now, for the sake of the war, they appeared before the world for the first Time with such a terrifying and powerful posture, bringing considerable shock.

Boom—

On the leading giant airship, a collision sound that echoed through the sky was heard. A brilliant light soared into the sky, transforming into a curtain of light, displaying a magnificent scene.

Drums roared, Azure Origin Sect had arrived at the battlefield!
