Chapter 532 - 370: Northern Campaign! Placing Bets (Part 2)

[At the same time, the alliance controls the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object and the Core Formation Spiritual Object, tying achievements to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Spiritual Objects.]

[Suddenly, countless Spirit Stones flowed into the alliance’s coffers, with achievements replacing Spirit Stones as the new currency in the Celestial Rainbow Cultivation Realm.]

[In the year 5208 of the New Source Era, the alliance’s fifteenth Golden Core Cultivator successfully formed their Core and joined the alliance’s Elder Council.]

[In the same year, the alliance held a Golden Core competition, determining the seats of Golden Core Cultivators within the Elder Council.]

[In the year 5210 of the New Source Era, more Foundation Establishment Cultivators emerged, efficiently utilizing the resources of the Celestial Rainbow Cultivation Realm, but the large cultivator population still demanded more cultivation resources.]

[The alliance further deepened its development of the Secret Realm.]

[Meanwhile, the alliance continued to increase manpower to accelerate the fusion of the Secret Realm and Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.]

Nowadays, there are Secret Realms scattered throughout Central State, with most of them broken away from Central State.

These all require fusion.

In the past, fusing Secret Realms required cultivators to spend resources and effort, making natural fusion the most cost-effective choice.

But now, for the entire alliance, fusing Secret Realms increases territory and Spirit Stone resources, integrating these Secret Realms into the alliance’s control can thicken the alliance’s treasure trove.

[Attacking Secret Realms carries risks, often seeing scenes where medium-sized and even large-scale Cultivation Realms are counterattacked by the Secret Realm World.]

[This is why many forces have not opted for widespread attacks on Secret Realms.]

[However, for the increasingly powerful Celestial Rainbow Alliance, Secret Realms have become the best means of gaining resources.]

[In the year 5211 of the New Source Era, the alliance discovered a large Secret Realm World close to a Blessed Land.]

[Instead of choosing to attack, spies were sent to surrounding small Cultivation Realms.]

[In the year 5213 of the New Source Era, civil war began in the Qiuxu Cultivation Realm.]

[You immediately announced the alliance was entering wartime readiness, swiftly annexed numerous small Cultivation Realms and subpar Cultivation Realms, and took a sizable territory from a large neighbor of a medium-sized Cultivation Realm.]

[Then, as these three Cultivation Realms raged impotently, you calmly watched the turmoil in the north.]

[The news of the Nascent Soul Ancestor from Guangyun Celestial Sect passing away spread.]

[The entire Qiuxu Cultivation Realm began to stir with events.]

[Thousand Stars Alliance, Youxian Spirit Gate, and Hundred Refinement Spear Sect started probing.]

[Indeed, the Nascent Soul Ancestor had passed away, and the three major sects began a full-scale attack on Guangyun Celestial Sect.]

[With the trump card left by the Nascent Soul Ancestor and Guangyun Celestial Sect’s own size, it could easily handle two sects without pressure, but facing three major sects, Guangyun Celestial Sect gradually found itself overwhelmed.]

[Though Guangyun Celestial Sect was a mighty entity weakened, relying on the ancestor’s measures, it still managed to barely resist.]

[The war turned into a protracted struggle.]

[In the year 5214 of the New Source Era, Guangyun Celestial Sect issued a call, rallying neighboring medium-sized Cultivation Realms for reinforcement.]

Large and medium-sized Cultivation Realms can be seen as having a subservient relationship.

From a higher perspective, medium-sized Cultivation Realms depending on the Qiuxu Cultivation Realm can be considered part of the Qiuxu Cultivation Realm.

While other few Cultivation Realms were just buffer zones between two large Cultivation Realms.

The key to a large-scale Cultivation Realm was a Nascent Soul Ancestor holding the fort.

But now, the Nascent Soul Ancestor has passed away.

The strongest within the Qiuxu Cultivation Realm is merely a Golden Core Perfection Master.

Among medium-sized Cultivation Realms, there are many Golden Core Masters, actually of similar rank.

Though a medium-sized Cultivation Realm’s might is akin to a sect within the Qiuxu Cultivation Realm, this power becomes exceptionally critical now.

[You amicably persuaded several surrounding medium-sized Cultivation Realms, where sect struggles transitioned into one dominant entity, successfully pulling a significant force from several medium-sized Cultivation Realms.]

[The alliance began operations, the army moved northward to support Guangyun Celestial Sect.]

[The alliance left only three Golden Core Masters to guard, with everyone else, including you, heading north.]

Zhong Heng sent an invaluable Nascent Soul Spiritual Object, with half the chance being not considered low.

It’s rumored there was still a Nascent Soul Pill left at Guangyun Celestial Sect, moreover, a Middle-Grade Nascent Soul Pill of First-Grade Spirit Pill standard.

Based on your estimates, factoring in the Nascent Soul Pill, Nascent Soul Spiritual Object, and the talent and foundation of Yunmiao Master.

If Guangyun Celestial Sect were willing to fully support Yunmiao Master, Yunmiao Master would have nearly a forty percent chance to break through to become a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Forty percent chance, extraordinarily high.

An average Golden Core Perfection Master with a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object might only have a ten percent breakthrough chance.

But as long as there is a fifty percent success rate, these Golden Core Perfection Masters dare to gamble.

For once it succeeds, there is the Nascent Soul Ancestor, Nascent Soul Venerable, Land Immortal!

True Mortal Immortal figures, truly transcendent.

Even if the price is loss of origin, reduced lifespan, regression of cultivation if failed.

Zhong Heng stood on the deck of the Flying Treasure Boat.

The Treasure Boat blocked out the sun, perhaps could be called the main ship in the sky, surrounded by other Treasure Boats, cultivators from neighboring factions looked with astonishment at the might of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance.

The treasure boats’ defense arrays blocked the strong winds.

The fleet headed north.

The shadow cast on the land was massive, then when the fleet ascended above the clouds, the land was clear of fleet traces.

"Even if it fails, so what..."

Yunmiao Master succeeded, the Celestial Rainbow Alliance acquired a genuine great patron, able to gain abundant resources from the spoils of three sects.

Yunmiao Master failed, Guangyun Celestial Sect still had strength, along with Zhong Heng’s support, even if Guangyun Celestial Sect were exterminated, the three sects wouldn’t have the power to retaliate against the Celestial Rainbow Cultivation Realm.

No Nascent Soul Sect remaining.

This vast land would enter chaos, perhaps in turbulent times heroes would emerge, reorganize and rise to Nascent Soul.

But more likely in a century no Nascent Soul would appear, the vast Qiuxu Cultivation Realm would split into several powerful medium-sized Cultivation Realms, after several centuries, the Celestial Rainbow Alliance might become the ruler among them.

Becoming a new, even stronger, large-scale Cultivation Realm!

If Yunmiao Master fails to breakthrough, then the newly risen Nascent Soul Cultivator would be him, Zhong Heng!

A flame called ambition burned in Zhong Heng’s eyes.

[In the year 5215 of the New Source Era, the army arrived at the Qiuxu Cultivation Realm, with the Celestial Rainbow Alliance Army striking deep into the rear of the Thousand Stars Alliance.]

[Massive resources were plundered by the Celestial Rainbow Alliance Army.]

[The alliance was enraged, recalling a Golden Core Perfection Master from the frontline to teach you ’country bumpkins’ a lesson.]

[Using old tactics, you feigned weakness to lure the enemy into carelessness, drawing them into the Tier Six Bewitching Soul Confusion Array.]

[You then arranged your own creation, the Tier Five Array, Seven Stars Linked Array, which could resonate with the Seven Stars, merging the powers of seven.]

[Inside the Seven Stars Linked Array, seven arrays overlapped, necessitating Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators to substitute insufficient Golden Core Masters, twenty Golden Core Masters with twenty-nine Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators successfully subdued this Golden Core Perfection Master.]

[Your movements in the south astonished the entire Qiuxu Cultivation Realm.]

[Yet the True Essence of a Golden Core Perfection Master is inexhaustible, array power limited.]

[You allied with Qiu Yi, wounded him, allowing a gap for escape to prevent greater damage.]

[The Golden Core Perfection Master dared not delve deeper into enemy territory, and with part of the Thousand Stars Alliance forces, the situation reached a stalemate, simultaneously gaining enormous resources, offering alliance cultivators valuable experience.]

[Seizing the chance, you sent someone to break through the three sects’ blockade of Guangyun Celestial Sect, delivering a piece of Record Jade inside the sect.]

[Record Jade contained your past life’s Nascent Soul breakthrough experiences, though unclear in origin, you confirmed it would be of use.]

[In the year 5216 of the New Source Era, a resounding cry echoed, reverberating across the entire Qiuxu Cultivation Realm.]

[A new Nascent Soul Venerable, Land Immortal...was born.]
