The core fire split into over a hundred streams, wrapping around a hundred wooden plaques and beginning the refinement process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a mere moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Xu Deling pressed her fingers together like a sword. Dividing her divine sense, she carved them from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the front of every wooden plaque appeared a sharply drawn \"Xu\" character, while the back bore the unique restriction patterns of the Xu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because these were merely temporary tokens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling placed a restriction within them that would cause them to automatically incinerate after half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Deling, what is this?\" Ye Fan asked from the side, his face filled with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Deling suddenly refining these Xu family tokens on such a massive scale, he knew there had to be a deeper purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While continuing to refine the next batch of tokens, Xu Deling briefly explained, \"Outside the secret realm, Grandfather has already arrived and reached an agreement with the other three Nascent Soul factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who do not belong to our four factions must hand over half of their harvest upon exiting the secret realm to leave safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our Xu family, considering the hardships of our fellow immortal cultivators, is willing to use this token as proof. We will only collect thirty percent, and in return, they will receive the protection of our Xu family, ensuring their smooth departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, they will not be pursued by those three factions for half a year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan was struck with realization, a look of joy flashing in his eyes. \"Honored Master has come! Then Senior Moyue...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling nodded with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfected Person Fire Cloud, Perfected Person Green Cliff, and Chen Changge listened, feeling somewhat bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those willing to appreciate the favor will have a chance at survival. Those who refuse are free to brave the gates of hell on their own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Xu Deling devoted her full effort to the refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of tokens were successfully refined. Although there would likely be many left over, preparedness prevents calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They set off once more, utilizing their divine sense to scan their surroundings with full force. Whenever they spotted a figure, they would immediately send a voice transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they discovered over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators within a fifty-kilometer radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling invited them over for a gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If several Golden Core cultivators decided to strike, they would find it difficult to escape with their lives, so they could only brace themselves and go to pay their respects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We pay our respects to Fairy Feng Ling,\" the crowd greeted in unison, cupping their hands in a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator among them asked, \"Dare I ask why the Fairy has called us here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A notification, and a transaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd exchanged glances, all showing expressions of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please enlighten us, Fairy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outside the Connate Secret Realm, the Nascent Soul powerhouses of the two prefectures are already waiting by a stump for a rabbit. Everyone who exits must hand over fifty percent of their harvest. Those who refuse will die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could those Nascent Soul powerhouses be so shameless?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is going too far!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are leaving us no way to survive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We aren't even Golden Core cultivators, so what can we do? The opportunities within the Connate Secret Realm are too vast. How could the Nascent Soul forces of the two prefectures easily hand them over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How does the Fairy know this?\" a middle-aged man in black asked, his eyes flickering with doubt. \"Inside the secret realm, we are isolated from the outside world. Any communication should be ineffective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is none of your concern,\" Xu Deling replied indifferently. \"However, their Nascent Soul factions have an agreement. Anyone belonging to the four major factions can leave unhindered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, our Cloudstream City wishes to make a deal with everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Xu Deling waved her sleeve robe, and over a dozen wooden tokens appeared hovering before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hide nothing. Present your harvests from this place, and my Xu family will take thirty percent in exchange for one of our Xu family tokens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" The crowd froze slightly, exchanging glances once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage from the Heavenly Azure Prefecture asked suspiciously, \"Since when did the Xu family become a Nascent Soul force? Fairy, you aren't deceiving us, are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I have heard that True Lord Withered Glory fought the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Azure Sect and repelled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was when the other party was heavily injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cloudstream City shouldn't be considered a Nascent Soul-level force yet, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you truly protect us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling's expression remained unchanged as she calmly stated, \"Whether you believe it or not is up to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Xu family acts with a measured sense of propriety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This token contains a special restriction. It will automatically dissipate after half a year and cannot be forged by outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who are willing may trade with my Xu family now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who are unwilling are free to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Xu family will not lay a hand on you this time, but the next time we meet, those without a token should not blame our Xu family for showing no mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, within the secret realm, everyone is both hunter and prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are bound to be more than a few people who have died by your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while, a female Foundation Establishment cultivator agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the ice broken, several others successively responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Xu family's status and strength, they could have easily just plundered them directly. Why bother spouting such words to trick them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plundering would net them everything on their persons, yet they only asked for thirty percent. This showed the benevolence and righteousness of the Xu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for trying to roast them on a fire using the moral high ground, that would purely be courting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even they themselves, if they encountered Qi Refining stage cultivators in the secret realm, would definitely plunder them without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xu Deling had said earlier, everyone in the secret realm was a competitor. This place was a slaughterhouse to begin with. Since they had entered, they should have been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people, only two refused to believe it and left on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling and her group departed. To increase efficiency, Xu Deling ordered everyone to split up and trade for as many of the secret realm's resources as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, this news spread rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of cultivators heard that Nascent Soul powerhouses were stationed outside, waiting to catch them all in one fell swoop. Although they had their suspicions, having it confirmed threw them into a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handing over fifty percent upon exiting, versus trading thirty percent to the Xu family while also receiving half a year of protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any fool knew which one to choose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty percent from a Foundation Establishment cultivator's hands might only be worth several thousand to ten thousand spirit stones, but twenty percent from a Golden Core cultivator's hands could be precious resources worth over a hundred thousand spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resources the Xu family acquired through trading were absolutely worth over ten million spirit stones. Many rare spirit medicines and materials were incredibly difficult to buy even with spirit stones, being nearly extinct in the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with their previous accumulations, without a doubt, the Xu family was the biggest winner this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, top-tier factions from the Greedy Wolf Prefecture, such as Ancient Nether City and the Sima family, naturally would not trade with the Xu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling and the others did not force them either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would be the ones to suffer a loss anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrogantly believed they could leave with their resources, but the joint effort of four Nascent Soul powerhouses was no laughing matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Ice and Fire Spring Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray-green poisonous miasma churned ceaselessly like a living creature, tightly shrouding the valley entrance. Even probing with divine sense brought waves of stinging pain and obstruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling, Ye Fan, Xu Deyue, and the others hovered outside the poisonous barrier, their expressions solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the place. Fei'er and the others are inside,\" Xu Deyue said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third-level Connate Secret Realm should be closing soon on the seventh day. This is the perfect time to bring Fei'er and the others out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Ling, we leave it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling nodded slightly, pale golden light flowing within her phoenix eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She extended a slender finger, and a wisp of pure core fire leaped from her fingertip, quickly transforming into a lifelike, palm-sized flame phoenix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire phoenix gave a clear cry. Its wings scattering scorching and pure fiery power, it dove headfirst into the thick poisonous miasma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fire phoenix had barely penetrated thirty meters before the gray-green poisonous fog swarmed it like a greedy maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the flame touched the poisonous fog, it produced a sizzling corrosive sound. The firelight rapidly dimmed at a visible rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold, filth, and corrosive power hidden within the poisonous fog far exceeded the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a moment, that fire phoenix, condensed from Golden Core mana, was completely devoured and annihilated, leaving not a single spark behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The poisonous fog here is formidable indeed. It must have acquired connate fortune. It cannot be neutralized by ordinary poison-dispelling methods,\" Xu Deling remarked, retracting her finger. Her expression remained unchanged, but her eyes held a bit more caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head and addressed Ye Fan, Xu Deyue, and the others, \"Wait here and guard the valley entrance in case of any accidents. I will go in and bring Fei'er and the others out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful, Sister Ling!\" Xu Deyue said with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan also solemnly cupped his hands. \"Thank you for your trouble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling said no more. With a flick of her sleeve robe, a crimson-gold streak of light shot out. It was precisely the high-grade defensive magic treasure refined for her by her Honored Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield grew rapidly in the wind, transforming into the size of a door and hovering above her head. It dropped a solid, heavy crimson-gold light screen, firmly protecting her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the light screen, the poisonous fog reacted violently upon contact, sizzling like boiling oil poured over snow and emitting bursts of foul-smelling green smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the time being, it could not erode the light screen in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling shouted softly, her body surging with crimson mana. Her figure turned into a golden rainbow wrapped in a crimson-gold light screen, plunging without hesitation into the churning gray-green sea of poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she entered, her vision and divine sense were heavily compressed by the highly toxic miasma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling focused her mind and calmed her breathing. She channeled the magic treasure, causing the pure yang golden light to blaze even brighter, staunchly resisting the poisonous gas attempting to seep through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her speed did not decrease. Following her bloodline connection, she headed straight toward the center of the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After advancing for about an incense stick's time, she passed through the thickest core area of the poisonous miasma, and the fog ahead suddenly cleared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense spiritual qi washed over her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Xu Deling's aura, Xu Chongfei opened his eyes and stood up in pleasant surprise to greet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yulian did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling smiled and nodded. Looking around and seeing the mess in the area, she immediately said, \"It seems you two have harvested quite a bit. You've practically dug three feet into the ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The greatest fortune in this place is that Ice and Fire Spring. I have already collected the two strands of Connate Qi—Extreme Yang and Extreme Cold—that were originally inside the spring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Connate Qi?!\" Xu Deling was slightly startled. \"This is an enormous opportunity, and it happens to perfectly match you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have been outside for many days and haven't seen anyone find this kind of treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, it's all thanks to the protection of our clan fortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smooth talker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt, let's take that Ice and Fire Spring with us too. We can't let it go to waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling nodded. \"That is how it should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step back for now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone had retreated a safe distance, Xu Deling's expression turned solemn. She flew up, stopping in the air directly above the dual Ice and Fire Springs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised both hands, and her Golden Core mana surged out without reservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice and Fire Springs seemed to react, erupting with astonishing shocks of extreme yang and extreme cold energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unmoved, Xu Deling's hands changed seals like blooming lotuses. Her mana acted like silk threads, plunging deep into the ground, aiming to pull the Ice and Fire Springs up by the roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire valley trembled. The power of ice and fire went on a mad rampage, freezing the heavens and earth one moment, and becoming a monstrous sea of fire the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling stood in the center of the storm. Her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were sharp as lightning. Her mana continued to pour out, binding and compressing it bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process was incredibly draining on mana and mental energy, lasting a full hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, with two nearly imperceptible hums, the rampage of the Ice and Fire Springs gradually subsided, turning into palm-sized objects floating above her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt, what an incredible divine ability!\" Xu Chongfei praised. \"I'm afraid few in the Golden Core Stage could match that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the flattery. Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the valley, the five people including Ye Fan were being attacked by True Lord Green Wood, True Lord Bingqian, and Xi Fengyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue and Chen Changge were attacking True Lord Bingqian. Ye Fan and Perfected Person Fire Cloud were attacking True Lord Green Wood. Perfected Person Green Cliff was fighting Xi Fengyue, barely holding on with only a mid-grade defensive magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed his hands in the air, and pale, bone-chilling cold qi swept forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Yin flying sword in Xu Deyue's hand bloomed with cold moonlight. The sword light flashed like a ribbon of silk, fiercely cleaving through the incoming biting cold current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changge did his utmost to support from the flank. A golden flying sword transformed into a continuous barrage of sword light, shooting toward the vital points on True Lord Bingqian's body like a torrential downpour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was easily blocked by a profound ice crystal shield that the other party had summoned, clinking and clattering like metal striking stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot,\" True Lord Bingqian scoffed coldly. Changing his hand seals, the cold qi around his body suddenly turned a deep, profound blue. \"Qianlan Ice Flame, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two ice lotuses, only the size of a palm but crystal clear like carved sapphires, materialized out of thin air. Their petals slowly spun as they shot toward Xu Deyue and Chen Changge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue's face turned incredibly solemn. She held the Supreme Yin flying sword horizontally in front of her. The moonlight on the blade surged, transforming into a cold light screen that staunchly resisted the ice lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the ice lotus met the moonlight shield, it sizzled loudly, its extreme cold power constantly eroding it. If she did not also practice the path of extreme cold, Xu Deyue would have found it very difficult to block this attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, she was ultimately shaken until her qi and blood churned, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Changge lacked such a foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly summoned a Thick Earth Shield. Just as the dim yellow light screen rose, the ice lotus arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light screen was instantly covered in a layer of deep blue ice crystals, thickening and solidifying at a visible rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changge frantically channeled his mana, his face flushing red, but the shield's spiritual light faded rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chilling sound of shattering rang out. In just a moment, the light screen formed by that mid-grade defensive magic treasure was forcibly frozen cracked and pierced through by the Qianlan Ice Flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining ice flame's momentum did not wane, pouncing straight for Chen Changge's face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changge retreated violently in shock. At the same time, he threw out several defensive talismans, but they were easily incinerated by the ice flame like mere paper scraps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to be swallowed by the ice flame, Xu Deyue let out a sharp cry. Her figure flashed quickly as she positioned herself in front of Chen Changge, swinging her sword to cleave the residual ice flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice flame exploded. Xu Deyue let out a muffled groan. Her sword-wielding right arm was instantly covered in a thick layer of blue ice, and the piercing cold invaded her meridians, causing her to stagger backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint of cold light flashed in True Lord Bingqian's eyes, fully exposing his killing intent. \"Xu Deyue, don't fail to appreciate my kindness! For your grandfather's sake, this True Lord has already shown you mercy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Chen Changge is a traitor to my sect, and he must die today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you continue refusing to come to your senses and insist on stopping me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his words even landed, an extremely condensed, deep blue sword light flew from his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The might of the sword light was even stronger than his previous divine ability, aiming straight for Chen Changge's throat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changge's face went ghastly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In your dreams!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue shouted angrily, her left hand rapidly forming a seal. A crystal-clear mirror flew from her storage pouch, instantly expanding and blocking Chen Changge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light slashed against the light blue light screen, causing it to tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Ice Soul Mirror had a stronger resistance to the erosion of extreme cold qi, thus blocking this strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stubborn fools!\" Seeing this, the anger in True Lord Bingqian's heart surged further. \"Since that is the case, you can't blame me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding nothing back, the sword light of his Profound Ice Soul-Slaying Sword, paired with the Qianlan Ice Flame divine ability, transformed into a sky full of deep blue sword shadows and ice lotuses, enveloping the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Soul Mirror could no longer defend against it, and its light screen instantly shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue commanded her Supreme Yin Flying Sword to slash out streak after streak of sword light to fight back, and Chen Changge did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, the two of them were still unable to completely block it. Grazed by multiple sword lights, their wounds rapidly froze, the extreme cold qi eroding their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue inherently cultivated a similar cultivation method, so the extreme cold qi posed little threat to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Changge was already heavily injured, his aura sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle on the other side was equally miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a Golden Core perfection True Lord-level powerhouse, Ye Fan and Perfected Person Fire Cloud could only barely defend themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Fan possessed a third-tier physical body. While his injuries looked severe and bled profusely, they could not be considered fatal wounds. On the other hand, Perfected Person Fire Cloud's internal organs had all suffered heavy trauma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only slightly better off than Chen Changge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the late-stage Golden Core Xi Fengyue, Perfected Person Green Cliff naturally couldn't hold his ground using only mid-grade magic treasures, and he soon sustained considerable injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the secret realm, life and death are irrelevant. If you must blame something, blame your bad luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Green Wood cast an indifferent glance at them and coldly declared, \"Do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his words even landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever dares touch my Xu family—will die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercingly cold scream, laced with terrifying killing intent, suddenly exploded from the depths of the churning poisonous miasma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soundwave was like thunder from the highest heavens, shaking the souls of everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Deling was indeed inside the poisonous barrier!\" Xi Fengyue muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a blazing, brilliant crimson light violently tore through the thick poisonous barrier, sweeping over at an unbelievable speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the crimson light, a crimson-gold figure stood proudly, her phoenix eyes brimming with malice, her aura as unfathomable as an abyss and as oppressive as a prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Xu Deling stood a pair of young men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Lord Green Wood, do you wish for your Xi family to be exterminated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling stood mid-air. The aura surrounding her not only rivaled the pressure of a late-stage Golden Core, but it also contained a noble, ancient power originating from the depths of her bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the empty space above her head, spiritual qi gathered violently, actually condensing into a fire phoenix phantom over twenty meters in size, its entire body blazing with crimson-gold flames!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the phantom was slightly blurred, its outstretched wings, arrogant phoenix head, and those indifferent phoenix eyes that seemed capable of piercing through the void, all exuded a faint pressure originating from an ancient True Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Green Wood, True Lord Bingqian, and even Xi Fengyue felt their minds tighten. The flow of mana within their bodies seemed to stagnate for a moment, birthing an instinctive sense of awe and discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exterminated?\" True Lord Green Wood suppressed the astonishment in his heart, his voice raspy. \"Not even your grandfather would dare to speak so arrogantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, we might have had to endure it, but things are different now,\" Xu Deling said. \"What if my Xu family produces someone with Nascent Soul-level combat strength? How much longer do you think your Xi family's Ancestor can live!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Green Wood's pupils abruptly shrank. \"Although Daoist Friend Withered Glory is strong, he cannot be considered a true Nascent Soul-level combatant, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did I ever say... that person was my grandfather?\" Xu Deling's voice was calm, but it exploded like thunder in the ears of True Lord Green Wood and the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Fengyue was the first to cry out in disbelief, his face flushing red with agitation and shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where would the Xu family get a true Nascent Soul powerhouse?! Xu Deling, stop making empty threats and spouting alarmist nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Bingqian also had an icy expression, his eyes heavy with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew full well that Xu Deling was not someone to speak without basis. To be so confident, could it be... she truly had a trump card?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling completely ignored Xi Fengyue, her gaze firmly locked onto True Lord Green Wood. \"True Lord Green Wood, take your people and retreat today, and we will let this matter go for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During future conflicts in the Heavenly Azure Prefecture, my Xu family can leave some leeway and will not drive the Xi family to total extinction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words paused briefly, and her tone suddenly turned chilling. \"But—if you dare to kill a single member of my Xu family today...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Xu Deling, swear upon my bloodline that I will do everything in my power to ensure that your Xi family is wiped out, leaving neither fowl nor dog alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you threatening me?\" True Lord Green Wood's face turned incredibly ashen, his eyes shifting unpredictably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling raised her sleeve robe, sending a rainbow of light flying out to hover above them. A crimson-gold light screen descended, enveloping everyone inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two, get over there as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Aunt,\" Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian replied, cupping their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A high-grade defensive magic treasure.\" True Lord Green Wood knitted his brows tightly. After pondering for a moment, he said, \"Among immortal cultivators, strength reigns supreme. We can refrain from attacking them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since you are making such boastful remarks, let us see if you have even a fraction of Daoist Friend Withered Glory's bearing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, True Lord Green Wood backed down, but his heart was unwilling, and he wanted to suppress Xu Deling's arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auras of the three erupted simultaneously as they surrounded Xu Deling in a triangular formation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slash—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Bingqian attacked first. The Profound Ice Soul-Slaying Sword transformed into a sixty-foot-long deep blue ribbon, carrying a soul-freezing sword intent as it cleaved downward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Myriad Wood Ruler in True Lord Green Wood's hand roared. Countless ruler lights condensed, forming a torrent of a myriad rulers that swept toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also Xi Fengyue, who executed a metal-element sword art. A sharp sword light lunged from another direction, aiming straight for her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this three-pronged joint attack, not only was there no fear in Xu Deling's eyes, but a blazing war intent ignited within them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screech—!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long, metal-piercing, stone-shattering cry of a fire phoenix, infused with endless ancient nobility, burst from the very depths of her body, shooting straight up into the nine heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the crimson-gold divine light around her erupted explosively like the rising sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally twenty-five-meter fire phoenix phantom above her head rapidly expanded and solidified amidst the scream!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a raise of her jade-like hand, her natal plume magic treasure, refined from the Fire Phoenix Plume of an ancient True Spirit, turned into a streak of light and entered the glabella of the fire phoenix phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phantom trembled violently, its eyes suddenly lighting up with dazzling spiritual light. Its previously somewhat stiff form instantly became lifelike and majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The texture of its wings was clearly visible. Every single feather seemed cast from crimson-gold divine iron, burning with the inextinguishable true flame of a fire phoenix!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clearer, albeit weak but fundamentally supreme ancient True Spirit pressure spread outwards like mercury spilling across the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire phoenix violently flapped its wings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless crimson-gold flames gushed out like a burst celestial river, centering on Xu Deling and wildly sweeping in all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These flames contained the domineering will to incinerate all things. The temperature was so high it distorted the void, and wherever it passed, even the spiritual qi was set ablaze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Bingqian's sixty-foot-long deep blue sword astral slashed into the sea of fire, producing ear-piercing sizzle sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface of the sword astral was instantly enveloped by the crimson-gold flames. The soul-freezing chill was rapidly evaporated and neutralized. Its forward momentum sharply dropped, losing seventy to eighty percent of its might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Green Wood's torrent of myriad rulers crashed into the sea of fire, faring like dead wood meeting heavenly fire. Upon being licked by the crimson-gold flames, the incredibly resilient ruler lights crumbled and burned away one after another, turning into plumes of green smoke, unable to advance an inch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xi Fengyue's tricky golden sword light aiming for her back, it was directly blown away and swallowed by the violent wave of fire, failing to touch even the hem of Xu Deling's clothes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined strike of the three was actually entirely blocked by this sudden eruption of the boundless sea of fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at this moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dot of crimson-gold light, as brilliant as a star, suddenly lit up on Xu Deling's glabella!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Sense Hammer, quake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silver hammer formed entirely from the power of divine sense directly slammed into Xi Fengyue's sea of consciousness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Fengyue was completely unable to defend. He only felt as if his sea of consciousness had been viciously struck by a red-hot branding iron. The excruciating pain nearly drowned out his consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a miserable shriek, his soul suffering massive trauma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fengyue!\" True Lord Green Wood shouted, a mix of shock and rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling, however, did not pause in the slightest. She slapped the spirit beast pouch at her waist with her fair hand. \"Xiao Hong, keep him pinned down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screech—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce bird cry rang out. The Four-Winged Chongming Bird transformed into a streak of crimson-gold fire and shot out, pouncing directly toward the soul-injured Xi Fengyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for this, it would still have been quite dangerous for the early third-tier Four-Winged Chongming Bird to face a late-stage Golden Core cultivator like Xi Fengyue who possessed mid-grade magic treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unleashing its demonic fire and sharp claws simultaneously, the Four-Winged Chongming Bird instantly dragged Xi Fengyue into a flurry of violent attacks, forcing him to struggle just to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xu Deling's gaze was like lightning as she locked onto the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, her entire body actually transformed into a streak of light, actively throwing herself into the ancient fire phoenix phantom above her head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a sudden mutation occurred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That fire phoenix phantom completely came alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned into a true, powerful demonic beast containing the Fire Phoenix bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its aura was not the slightest bit weaker than a peak third-tier demonic beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the ultimate technique born from the combination of Xu Deling's Fire Phoenix Spirit Body, her bloodline, and the Fire Phoenix Plume of an ancient True Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also a method of excavating the power of her own bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been taught to her by her Honored Master, Yan Longzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yan Longzi had warned her that this secret art should not be used lightly. Her will could easily be eroded, and if she were to go completely mad, she might truly turn into a demonic beast permanently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Spirit pressure gradually grew clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of technique is this?!\" True Lord Green Wood was horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold female voice echoed from the fire phoenix's beak, and its wings flapped fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless crimson-gold flaming plumes, like thousands upon thousands of divine arrows, shot out explosively, blotting out the sky and covering the sun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Bingqian roared furiously. The Profound Ice Soul-Slaying Sword swung out layers upon layers of sword curtains, the Qianlan Ice Flame transformed into ice lotuses to protect his body, and he deployed his defensive magic treasure as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazingly, two layers of his triple defense were easily torn apart, leaving him to rely solely on the light screen of his magic treasure to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same went for True Lord Green Wood. He exhausted all his methods, but it was hard to resist the might of the fire phoenix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire phoenix's sharp claws ripped open the light screens of their magic treasures, and with a flap of its wings, it sent them both flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths and once again utilized their magic treasures and divine abilities. They attacked the fire phoenix demonic beast from both the left and the right, but they were continuously unable to do anything to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, whenever their attacks landed on the fire phoenix, it would also inflict a certain amount of trauma on Xu Deling's main body, but it simply couldn't be seen from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her body transformed into a fire phoenix demonic beast, Xu Deling completely suppressed True Lord Green Wood and True Lord Bingqian, making them vomit blood repeatedly, though she was ultimately unable to inflict any truly severe wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Green Wood glanced over at Xi Fengyue's side. Because his soul had been damaged, he was also being beaten back by the Four-Winged Chongming Bird. His dharma robe was already in tatters and stained with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly, the new generation surpasses the old. The title of the number one prodigy is well-deserved!\" True Lord Green Wood said helplessly. \"Your future achievements will certainly not fall far behind your grandfather's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother, Fengyue, we are leaving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Green Wood called out to the other two to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until they were completely gone that the fire phoenix demonic beast in mid-air let out a long cry. The flames began to crumble and dissipate, turning back into Xu Deling herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light of that crimson natal plume had dimmed slightly. It trembled gently twice before turning into a streak of red light and plunging into Xu Deling's dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling landed on the ground. Her face was slightly pale, and she staggered, a little unsteady on her feet. Evidently, the exhaustion had been tremendous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved a hand, retracting the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan and the others rushed over immediately, both excited and worried. \"Sister Ling, are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing serious, just a bit of overexertion. I'll need a good period of rest to recover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongfei said, \"Aunt, what is that move called? It's so powerful. It was as if you truly turned into a fire phoenix demonic beast with overwhelming ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I learn it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fire Phoenix Manifestation Art. It evolved from the Bloodline Manifestation Art.\" Xu Deling patted his head and smiled. \"Unless you possess the bloodline of a demonic beast, you won't be able to learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its core principle is to mine the potential of a bloodline and, through the secret art, manifest into the demonic beast of that bloodline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity,\" Xu Chongfei muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smack!\" Seeing this, Ye Fan immediately gave him a flick on the forehead and laughingly scolded, \"Hurry up and help your Aunt to rest and adjust her breathing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear case of bloodline suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongfei replied with his head bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, none of them lacked high-grade healing or mana-recovery pills. In just a few hours, they had recovered seventy to eighty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Ye Fan asked, \"Sister Ling, do we still need to continue trading?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll stop here. Our Xu family has already gained enough. Next, we just need to wait for the secret realm to close on its own and be teleported out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of Grand Harmony Lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five people sat cross-legged in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking toward Qi Tianxiong and the others. \"Seniors, by my calculations, the Connate Secret Realm should be closing soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent anyone from using evasion techniques or talismans to escape, do any of you have a solution?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Tianxiong looked toward Xu Chuan. \"What do you propose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I happen to have a formation in my possession that can cover a radius of fifty kilometers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then set it up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do Senior Xi and Senior Mo agree as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This benefits all four of our major forces. Why wouldn't we agree?\" Mo Wentian smiled faintly, stroking his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the three of you have no objections, then I shall demonstrate my meager skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan said no more, his expression turning solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his sleeve robe, a flash of light emerged from his storage ring, and six formation flags of varying colors, radiating brilliant light, shot out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan's hands formed seals like a phantom, murmuring an incantation. Streams of pure and vigorous mana were accurately struck into the six formation flags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formation flags hummed and trembled, transforming into six long rainbows of different colors. They tore through the air toward six specific directions around the center of the lake, crossing tens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Formation, rise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan shouted softly, pointing two fingers in a cutting motion towards the center of the lake from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six formation flags gradually vanished into the void. Even Nascent Soul divine sense would find it difficult to detect them, unless it was an array master above the third tier or someone possessing an eye pupil technique divine ability capable of seeing through illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately following, with the center of the lake as the core, vast clouds and mist spontaneously generated without wind over a radius of a hundred kilometers in the air above Grand Harmony Lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, this expansive body of water was shrouded in a hazy sea of clouds and mist.\u003C\u002Fp>",6107,"2026-06-06T10:09:39.416Z",1,"novelbin.me","fbd7bd75a8183e906d452eed946e088617b3831df16bef2162876bd2da8488be","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-334","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-332",454,null]
