Unify the Eastern Region, does the beautiful elder want to invest?
Ye Youmeng could no longer hold back. Her voluptuous body transformed into a gorgeous streak of light, racing toward Black Stone City at top speed.
However, as her figure appeared above Black Stone City, a thick curtain of light suddenly flared up, blocking her outside the city.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, there is an urgent matter within the city, and it is currently inconvenient to receive guests. Please forgive me!"
The aged and steady voice of Old Ancestor Xuan Yin drifted out from within the City Protecting Grand Array, carrying an air of indifference that kept people at a distance.
Ye Youmeng hovered in the air, her colorful Ten Thousand Poisons dress snapping in the wind. Her alluring face was cold at this moment.
Her gaze pierced through the light curtain, fixed on the Tingfeng Courtyard at the center of the city.
"Old Monster Xuanyin, put away those tricks of yours!"
Ye Youmeng sneered, her voice filled with mockery: "Since when did the geomancy of your Yin Corpse Sect become so good? Nascent Soul Cultivators are appearing like cabbages in a field, one crop after another?"
"Do you really think this little commotion can be hidden from the world?"
"It is not just me now; I fear the eyes of the other four Sects have long been fixed on this place! Aren't you afraid that they will join forces to dismantle your Yin Corpse Sect bone by bone to see what secrets are hidden inside?"
Once these words were spoken, Old Ancestor Xuan Yin fell silent within the array.
During the previous Sect meeting, Lin Yuan had proposed the wild fantasy of unifying the Eastern Region. He had been blood-boiling and incredibly excited when he heard it at the time.
But after calming down, he was, after all, the Grand Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect, and he had to consider the Yin Corpse Sect first in all matters.
His original plan was to use Lin Yuan to quietly refine pills for the Sect's Elders and accumulate strength.
As long as the Yin Corpse Sect could produce a few more Nascent Soul Cultivators, it could leap to become the number one Sect in the Eastern Region. Only then would expanding slowly be the foolproof strategy.
He had not expected Lin Yuan's methods to be so shocking.
With Nascent Souls emerging one after another, the visions of heaven and earth could not be hidden at all. This pushed the Yin Corpse Sect directly into the limelight.
Just as Old Ancestor Xuan Yin was in a state of chaotic anxiety.
Inside the Tingfeng Courtyard, the door to a Quiet Room slowly opened with a creak.
Long Po, who had successfully achieved a Breakthrough, stepped out.
Time seemed to have flowed backward for her. The original image of a withered and hunched old woman was gone, replaced by a mature, voluptuous woman who still retained her charm.
Although the aura of the Early Nascent Soul Stage on her was still somewhat unstable, the aura of a Nascent Soul could not be faked in the slightest.
Following closely behind, a figure in green robes walked out from behind her with a leisurely pace.
Lin Yuan had a faint smile on his face. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of both of them.
"Two Seniors, it is windy here. Why not come to my small courtyard to gather, drink a cup of hot tea, and chat slowly?"
Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Xuan Yin let out a heavy sigh.
He knew that by now, the initiative was completely out of his hands.
The next moment, the City Protecting Grand Array of Black Stone City opened a gap silently.
A flash of light appeared in Ye Youmeng's beautiful eyes. Without hesitation, she turned into a stream of light, darted into the city, and landed precisely outside Lin Yuan's small courtyard.
A moment later, the figure of Old Ancestor Xuan Yin also appeared quietly.
Long Yu bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan, then took the initiative to stand to one side in a humble posture, beginning to prepare tea for the three of them.
Ye Youmeng flipped her palm, and an exquisite jade pot and three jade cups appeared on the stone table.
"No need for the trouble," she said with a charming smile. "I have some 'Hundred Flower Brew' that I have treasured for many years. It is brewed using a hundred types of spiritual flowers and millennium ice spring, taking decades of time to craft. Today, I shall take advantage of this place to invite you two to taste it."
As she spoke, she personally poured drinks for Lin Yuan and Xuan Yin, her eyes swirling with a natural, alluring charm.
But inside, her heart was already churning with monstrous waves.
The Spiritual Qi in this small courtyard... was simply too terrifying!
The Spiritual Qi was so dense it had almost turned into tangible mist. With every breath, she felt a massive amount of pure Spiritual Qi flooding into her limbs and bones.
As a Grand Elder of the Five Poisons Sect, her own Immortal Cave was built on the most optimal node of the Sect's Spiritual Vein, but compared to this place, it was like the difference between clouds and mud!
One must know that the Five Poisons Sect was built on a true large-scale Spiritual Vein!
Yet this Black Stone City was merely a barren, inferior Spiritual Vein!
Such methods of seizing the creation of heaven and earth and forcibly transforming an environment were simply unheard of and unseen!
She suppressed the shock in her heart and did not let her composure slip.
Seeing this, Long Yu simply retreated to the side respectfully, without saying much.
Lin Yuan picked up the wine cup and took a light sip. A thread of fire flowed down his throat into his abdomen, then transformed into a warm Spiritual Qi that permeated his limbs and bones. This made him exclaim: "Good wine!"
Ye Youmeng's beautiful eyes gazed at him intensely. She no longer beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "The Yin Corpse Sect has given birth to Nascent Souls one after another; I assume this is all the work of Fellow Daoist Lin. I wonder, Fellow Daoist Lin, could you also open a door of convenience for my Five Poisons Sect?"
Lin Yuan put down the wine cup and smiled. "Naturally, I can."
He changed the subject and continued: "However, what I want is not as simple as just making a deal with the Five Poisons Sect."
Ye Youmeng was startled. "What do you mean by that?"
"The six Sects of the Eastern Region are in constant conflict, with severe internal attrition. Now, for the sake of a mere Blood River Spirit Mine, they are making such a huge fuss."
Lin Yuan's voice was calm, yet it carried a vicissitude that did not match his appearance.
"I want to establish an Alliance. The first step is to turn the Yin Corpse Sect and the Five Poisons Sect from our current loose cooperation into a truly tight-knit entity. Then, we will plan slowly to absorb the other four Sects, and finally, unite the entire Eastern Region!"
His gaze seemed to pierce through the courtyard and look toward the more distant horizon.
"In the future, if there is an opportunity, then the Vast Cold Domain to the north of the Eastern Region, the vast Azure Wolf Grassland to the west, and the Ten Thousand Mountains to the south where Yao Beasts run rampant... they might just become our possession!"
Boom!
In Ye Youmeng's mind, it felt as if a thunderclap had exploded!
Unifying the Eastern Region!
What arrogance, what a grand ambition this was!
This was a dream that every generation of ambitious masters of the six Sects of the Eastern Region had held for thousands of years, but it was a great undertaking that no one had ever been able to complete!
Ye Youmeng was sharp and intelligent. She grasped the key point in an instant, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid, and in those soul-captivating eyes of hers, a fiery flame was burning at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist Lin... what rank of Alchemist are you, exactly? And what rank of Array Master?"
Lin Yuan did not answer directly, only smiling indifferently: "With my methods, cultivating over ten Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators for our two Sects in a short period of time is not a difficult task."
Over ten!
Both of their hearts gave a violent jolt.
However, Lin Yuan's next words were what truly made them completely lose their composure.
He looked at Ye Youmeng and Old Ancestor Xuan Yin, saying word by word: "Even... allowing you two Fellow Daoists to step into the Late Nascent Soul Stage is not entirely impossible!"
Ye Youmeng's delicate body shook violently, and the jade cup in her hand was accidentally crushed into powder by her with a "pop"!
Late Nascent Soul Stage!
If she could step into the Late Nascent Soul Stage, plus having over ten subordinates at the Early Nascent Soul Stage... unifying the Eastern Region would no longer be a pipe dream!
Even though her heart had long been as still as water, at this moment, it could not help but thump wildly!
