131: Immortal Alliance Conference, Foundation Establishment Competition!

[Purple Intelligence: In the upcoming Immortal Alliance Conference, the Purple Heaven Immortal Sect intends to subvert the Yu Hua Immortal Sect's tens of thousands of years of dominance. They have secretly won over the Great Luo Sword Sect, Purple Mansion Holy Land, Tianlan Immortal Sect, and Lihuo Immortal Sect to form a five-Sect Alliance.

The reason for such confidence is that the Purple Heaven Immortal Sect's First Grand Elder, Dao Monarch Zixiao, successfully crossed his great tribulation several months ago and stepped into the Body Integration Stage!

He intends to use this Immortal Alliance Conference to rise up with great momentum, redefine the landscape of the Eastern Wilderness, and of course, besides targeting the Yu Hua Immortal Sect, they will immediately settle the old score of the Host killing two Void Refining Cultivators of the Zixiao Sect. They will label the Host as a traitor who colluded with the Demonic Path and harmed fellow Cultivators, calling for everyone under heaven to punish him.]

After reading these three pieces of intelligence, Lu Yuan's face did not show the slightest panic; instead, a cold smile curled on his lips.

"Good."

"It's truly lively."

"Gu Changge wants to blood sacrifice the entire city, the Heavenly Secret Master wants to kill with a borrowed knife, and the Zixiao Sect wants to dominate the Eastern Wilderness."

"Each and every one of them is calculating so loudly that it's deafening."

Lu Yuan stood up, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of the Void Realm as he looked toward that prosperous Huangtian City.

"Since you all want to play, then this seat will play a big one with you."

"Let's see whose calculations will shatter first in the end."

...The next morning.

Huangtian City, this giant cultivation city standing at the center of the Eastern Wilderness, welcomed its most flourishing moment today.

In the sky, colors flowed and glowed as countless flying boats and mounts, like a school of carp crossing a river, blotted out the sun.

In the entire Eastern Wilderness, any Sect, aristocratic family, or even powerful Loose Cultivator with some reputation gathered here today.

Lu Yuan took Gu Qingxue, Su Yueli, Lu Xueyao, Xiao Yuechan, and Fairy Lengyue with him. They rode the Azure Cloud Sect's cloud boat and did not make a grand entrance, but instead mingled among the countless Cultivators entering the city, keeping a low profile as they entered Huangtian City.

After entering the city.

Lu Yuan did not immediately head to the Martial Arts Arena.

He paused slightly, a golden light flashing briefly in his eyes.

"Golden Eyes of Truth."

His vision instantly pierced through the thick earth, reaching deep underground.

As expected.

At the intricate nodes of the Spiritual Veins beneath Huangtian City, thirty-six black beads emitting a thick aura of blood and resentment lay quietly in ambush, like beating hearts ready to devour anyone at any moment.

"Ten Thousand Demons Blood Fiend Beads..."

Lu Yuan let out a cold laugh.

"Want to blood sacrifice the entire city? Have you asked me?"

He lightly tapped the ground with his toe.

"Buzz!"

An invisible ripple traveled from the sole of his foot into the ground.

"Source Heaven Technique — Changing the Heavens and Earth!"

Lu Yuan did not directly destroy those beads, as that would alert the enemy.

Using the Source Heaven Technique he had just comprehended, he silently laid down a Source Heaven Grand Array underground.

This grand array completely enveloped the thirty-six Blood Fiend Beads.

Once Gu Changge detonated these beads, the erupting blood-fiend energy would not only fail to harm anyone but would instead be instantly transformed and purified by the Source Heaven Grand Array, turning into the purest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish the entire Huangtian City!

"I'll see how you cry when the time comes."

After finishing all this, Lu Yuan led the women and slowly walked toward the city center... In the center of Huangtian City was a massive Martial Arts Arena capable of holding a million people.

At this moment, the stands around the Martial Arts Arena were already packed with people, and the clamor was deafening.

To the far north of the Martial Arts Arena, ten massive white jade stands floated; those were the exclusive seats belonging to the ten great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Wilderness.

By now, the high-level members of the major Immortal Sects had already taken their seats.

Seated at the highest point in the center was naturally the Host of this conference — the Yu Hua Immortal Sect.

The Yu Hua Sect Leader wore a white feathered robe, his face was lean and refined, and his aura was as deep as the sea; he was a true Peak of Refinement Void expert.

Sitting there, he was like a stabilizing pillar, suppressing the Luck of the entire venue.

To his left were the seats of the Purple Heaven Immortal Sect.

Seated in the primary position was not the legendary Dao Monarch Zixiao, but a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression — Dao Monarch Qingxiao, who possessed a Late-Stage Void Refinement cultivation.

At this moment, his gaze frequently swept toward the entrance, a deep-seated hatred and Killing Intent hidden in the depths of his eyes.

To the right were the seats of the Great Luo Sword Sect.

The Great Luo Sword Sect now only had one Late-Stage Void Refinement expert, Dao Lord Daluo, to hold the fort. He carried a long sword on his back, his face equally grim, and he was like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, overflowing with Killing Intent.

Besides them.

Daoist Ziji of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, Dao Monarch Fentian of the Lihuo Immortal Sect... these big figures, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, were all present today.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could feel that the atmosphere today was somewhat off.

The major Sects were clearly demarcated, especially the five Sects of the Purple Heaven Immortal Sect's faction; they frequently exchanged glances, faintly forming a surrounding posture toward the Yu Hua Immortal Sect.

Dong—

A bell chime that shook heaven and earth rang out.

The Yu Hua Sect Leader stood up and said loudly: "The auspicious hour has arrived. The Eastern Wilderness Immortal Alliance Conference officially begins!"

"The first event: the Foundation Establishment Stage Prodigy Tournament!"

As his voice fell, eight massive arenas rose in the center of the Martial Arts Arena.

Countless young Prodigies, who had long been rubbing their hands in anticipation, flew up onto the stages one after another.

This was their best opportunity to make a name for themselves.

In the crowd.

A youth wearing green robes and carrying a long sword on his back was particularly eye-catching.

It was precisely Xiao Fan.

At this time, he was already at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. Although he had only recently broken through, his Foundation was solid and his blood-qi was vigorous.

Standing on the arena, he scanned the entire field with a proud gaze, his heart filled with the conviction of certain victory.

"This time, I must take first place!"

"I want everyone to know that I, Xiao Fan, am the true Genius!"

He subconsciously looked toward a certain direction on the high stands, where the seats reserved for the Azure Cloud Sect were.

"Lu Yuan, just you watch!"

...The tournament proceeded in full swing.

Lu Yuan had no interest in this kind of child's play fighting; he just leaned lazily against his chair, enjoying the service of Su Yueli and Xiao Yuechan.

"Next match: Lu Xueyao of the Azure Cloud Sect versus Lu Shaoyou of the Great Luo Sword Sect!"

The referee's voice rang out.

Lu Xueyao, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open.

In that instant, a bone-chilling Sword Intent erupted from her body.

"Finally... I've waited for you."

Her figure flickered, turning into a white sword-light that landed on Arena Number Three.

And opposite her.

A young man wearing brocade clothes, with a handsome but somewhat sinister face, also slowly walked up.

Lu Shaoyou!

The former Genius of the Lu family, and the cousin who had personally gouged out Lu Xueyao's Innate Sword Bone back then!

Now, having joined the Great Luo Sword Sect and enjoying the tilt of the Sect's resources, he was already at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation and was the leading figure of the Great Luo Sword Sect's Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lu Shaoyou smiled proudly: "Yo, isn't this my dear cousin?"
