After completing Liu Fengxian's deduction calculation, Great Beauty Liu began to cultivate in seclusion. Nie Changfeng gained a lot of new knowledge during the process of deduction, and gained a new understanding towards the improvement of his own strength.
The first thing Nie Changfeng did was enter the cultivation room to start his closed door cultivation. On one hand, he was anxious to increase his strength. On the other hand, the Star Alliance was filled with stories about the Lion King.
Liu Fengxian had kept the lion head for him, saying that it would help him comprehend the abilities of true Immortals. Therefore, Nie Changfeng was determined not to destroy the lion head and refused to come out.
The blood had covered eighty percent of the surface of the Jindan, and Nie Changfeng could already use the Jindan to do some things. The Jindan had already covered eighty percent of the Jindan, and Nie Changfeng could already use the Jindan to command it to do some things, unlike when the Jindan didn't listen to him at all.
Nie Changfeng's ability to call upon his Jindan was the main reason why he wasn't defeated by Liu Fengxian. Therefore, he believed that once his Jindan had reached 100% purity, his power would increase by leaps and bounds, and he would be comparable to a True Immortal.
However, the further he went, the more essence, blood, and time he had to spend on each point. There was nothing he could do; he could only slowly polish them with water.
He had learned a few rules of the True Immortal grade from Liu Fengxian. Even though they weren't able to help him advance his cultivation, they gave him a better understanding of the Aurous Core rules and powers.
Although Nie Changfeng found the path of the aurous core's hemolysis, the first point of blood essence was very difficult to bind. Aside from Nie Changfeng, who successfully activated this process after the bloody battle, no one else had been able to activate the first point of blood essence.
Seeing the True Immortals appear one after another from the Heavenly Alliance, Ling Qingsong, Bai Yiyan, and the others became more and more anxious. They were considered experts at the Worldly Immortal Stage, but even escaping would be difficult.
Unable to bear the torment from their hearts, the two of them boldly sneaked out of the Star Alliance and headed towards the Heavenly Alliance's base. Naturally, the two of them could not hide from Liu Yu, who was one of the four spirits. Thus, the three crazy young men charged towards the closest Heavenly Alliance's Five Elements Base.
Within the Heavenly Alliance, the Cao family was famous for their Five Elements techniques. However, there was another top-notch power that used their Five Elements powers to establish their foundations in the world. It was known as the "Five Elements Sect". The name Five Elements City had nothing to do with the Cao family. It was because the Five Elements Sect was in charge here and the person in charge of the base was also a top-notch Worldly Immortal, the "Five Elements Forefather".
When the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Turtle attacked together, the Five Elements Old Ancestor was currently in closed-door cultivation at the critical moment of his breakthrough to the True Immortal Stage. All of the Five Elements Sect's forces were protecting him while the other supreme Worldly Immortals were preparing for their advancement.
It had to be known that the four spirits were almost invincible amongst Worldly Immortals. Coupled with their reputation since ancient times, no one was willing to bear the burden of killing them.
The top Worldly Immortals of the Heavenly Alliance had the advantage in numbers and were defending themselves with all they had. The attacks of Ling Qingsong and the others posed no threat to the enemies and they themselves did not feel any sense of danger.
The three of them decided to make a move on Five Elements City since they couldn't do anything to a group of supreme Worldly Immortals. The three of them attacked one Worldly Immortal Stage expert at the same time, and this Worldly Immortal had no choice but to retreat. Only if he was willing to risk his life, would he be able to stop the three of them from escaping.
Leaving the encirclement of the supreme Worldly Immortals, the three of them activated their Four Spirits' sacred art. Mad thunder, flood, and thorns wreaked havoc in the Five Elements City. Because they were afraid that the array would be turned upside down, the Heavenly Alliance had already closed their defensive array. As a result, the Five Elements City was instantly thrown into chaos.
An enraged voice came from the Five Elements City as a ragged cultivator with his head covered in dirt, hair blown up and black smoke puffing out from his mouth rushed out of a collapsed cultivation room.
He roared angrily at Wei Ling, Qing Song and the others, "I will kill all of you!" The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Turtle were instantly forced back into their true forms by the immense pressure. It was as if the entire world was roaring at them in anger, and their movements were severely restricted.
This was the power of a True Immortal!
A huge palm descended from the sky, wanting to smash the three of them into meat paste. The three of them struggled to resist the pressure of the palm print as they released their strongest defense, the Xuanwu shield.
The palm print landed and the Black Tortoise Shield was completely defeated in less than a breath's time. The three of them spat out a mouthful of blood and fell onto the ground. Seeing that the three weren't dead yet, that True Immortal raised his power and was about to slam his palm down. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura plummeted.
The pressure on Ling Qingsong and the two others lessened. They took advantage of the situation and left the battlefield. The Heavenly Alliance's Worldly Immortal Stage expert did not pursue them, allowing the three of them to escape back to the Star Alliance.
His recovery process had been interrupted, causing his cultivation level to drop. As a result, he was infuriated, using the last remnants of his True Immortal energy to attempt to kill three of the culprits. However, he suffered a backlash and failed.
Ling Qingsong and the other two were severely injured. When they returned to the base, they found out that their meridians were severely damaged. If it wasn't for their talent and physique, they would not have been able to recover.
They felt very aggrieved. Not a single person had been injured in this battle, and they had even nearly lost their lives. However, they didn't know that if the Xiahou Clan's True Immortal didn't have a heaven-defying destiny, his realm would never be restored. They had inadvertently caused the Heavenly Alliance to lose a True Immortal forever.
The three of them were severely injured, but they didn't go to alert Nie Changfeng and Liu Fengxian, who were in secluded cultivation. Instead, they went to cultivate and heal themselves. After a bloody battle that was on the verge of death, the three discovered that they had finally started the process of their aurous core's hemolysis. Their first Blood Essence point had been successfully activated.
They didn't tell anyone about this news, just like how Nie Changfeng had always opposed them. However, they underestimated the determination of the others. While they were recovering, Li Ying, Pan Yue, Chen Yun'er, Liu Tianjiao, and a few others who had reached the bottleneck of their aurous core system launched a suicidal attack against Five Elements City.
All of them were severely injured. As they fled, they were chased by the Heavenly Alliance's Worldly Immortals, just like how they fled from Hope City many years ago. On the way, three of their compatriots from Earth exploded, allowing the remaining people to escape the pursuit and return to the base.
In this bloody battle, Li Ying had successfully assassinated the Xiahou Clan's fallen True Immortal. The first time his compatriots self-destructed, they had killed two peak Worldly Immortals who were caught off guard; there were no other results. Of course, what the Star Alliance didn't know was that the attack this time had caused the cultivation of the "Five Elements Old Ancestor" to go berserk, delaying him from advancing to the True Immortal for a very long time.
The ten returned to the group of seven. These seven had all activated their first blood essence point, initiating the process of their aurous core blood melting. If they were given enough time, they would leave the True Immortals behind as well.
