Chapter 332: The Legendary Spirit Fire
ral steps. Though these heavily armored cavalry had withdrawn from the front lines with Cao Guang, upon returning to the Marquis' mansion, they too had heard the rumors about the mysterious figures....As more and more cultivators from various sects gathered in Moon Viewing City, the Loose Cultivator Alliance consulted with the sect leaders to maintain order. They divided the crucial passes outside Moon Viewing City into zones at varying distances and set up camps there.

Not until the second day did Lei Wantian and several other Jindan cultivators return, but they didn't see Wei Litian. Lei Wantian and the other Jindan cultivators didn't look too good, and the Qi-refining disciples and those with even lower cultivation bases didn't dare to breathe heavily, for fear of angering their disgruntled senior Jindan cultivators.
“All the Foundation Establishment cultivators, follow me!” Lei Wantian greeted everyone and, along with three other Golden Core cultivators, turned around and walked into the core area of Lingxiao Palace’s main camp.
"The situation is not optimistic. Attacking the Moon Watching Immortal Realm isn't just South Waste and Heaven's Canopy anymore, now there's also the Starry Sky Immortal Realm. Although with the strength of our Moon Watching Immortal Realm, we could crush any one of them, even be able to stand against two and remain victorious, three Immortal Realms joining forces truly concerns the life or death of our Moon Watching Immortal Realm."
Next, Duan Xinchu, a beautiful and dignified middle-aged woman beside Lei Wantian, who was also a Jindan cultivator, said something that made everyone present pale. Xuan Yecheng had sent out an urgent plea for help. At this time, Xuan Yecheng had already been surrounded by cultivators from other domains. Considering the importance of Xuan Yecheng to the Wanguo Cultivation World, after discussions among the sect masters, it was decided to send reinforcements to rescue them.
However, when the main army was on the move, a small detachment had to be sent to scout around Xuan Ye City and gather intelligence.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators present turned pale upon hearing this. Xuan Ye City was actually surrounded so quickly, which was truly unbelievable. What was most troublesome was that they didn't know how many extraterrestrial cultivators were besieging Xuan Ye City at this moment. Moreover, there must be quite a few Golden Core cultivators among the extraterrestrial cultivators. With their Foundation Establishment cultivators' strength, once they faced these Golden Core cultivators, there would only be a dead end, with no chance of survival.
Another Jindan cultivator, Wu Liandao, said, "You don't need to worry too much about the Jindan cultivators from other realms for now. The Yuan Ying ancestor has given us a treasure that can roughly show the activity range of those Jindan cultivators. We will take care of them ourselves. Similarly, our activity range is probably also within their grasp, and we can't give you much help. What you need to face are basically cultivators of the same rank. Also, the sects that went to Xuan Yecheng for rescue are not just us from Lingxiao Palace. Every sect will dispatch a part of its manpower, so you don't have to worry about being outnumbered."
Lu Xia Tian didn't agree with this statement. Nothing is absolute, who can guarantee that they will never encounter a Jindan cultivator from the other side It's just that the probability is lower. However, Wu Lian Da's statement did ease some people's minds. As long as they didn't have to constantly face terrifying Jindan cultivators, their chances of survival would undoubtedly be much higher.
"The ancestor Yuan Ying possesses boundless magical power, why doesn't he come out to repel the enemy invaders" A Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't help but ask.
"Do you think I'm the only one with Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world There are naturally Nascent Soul ancestors among foreign cultivators. They have abilities that reach heaven and earth, able to obliterate countless low-level cultivators with a wave of their hand. No matter who wins or loses this battle, they won't interfere. Once they get involved, whoever wins or loses, either side wouldn't be able to bear the consequences." The Golden Core cultivator glanced at the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had spoken.
Everyone agreed that this was reasonable. To them, a Golden Core cultivator was already an incomparable existence. If it were a Nascent Soul cultivator, they wouldn't even need to make a move; perhaps a single thought would be enough to kill them. No matter how talented a Foundation Establishment cultivator was, in front of a Nascent Soul ancestor, they were fragile beyond imagination, and there was no comparison at all. Even a Golden Core cultivator, compared to a Nascent Soul ancestor, was worlds apart, crossing a major realm gap that couldn't be comprehended by normal thought.
A brief exhortation left the Foundation Establishment disciples uneasy. It was clear to everyone that the journey to Xuan Ye City was fraught with danger, far more so than remaining in Wang Yue City. After all, Wang Yue City was a hub for the powerhouses of numerous sects.
Before leaving, everyone still has a few days to prepare, and the number of cultivators who will go to Zhuji is yet to be determined. However, whether they go to Xuan Ye City or stay behind, the situation they face will inevitably not be optimistic. Each cultivator is busy preparing for war with magical artifacts, pills, and dealing with any unnecessary spiritual items in exchange for spirit stones.
Lu Xiaotien was left behind by Lei Wantian and Su Hongtao. After the two inspected Lu Xiaotien, a bad feeling arose in Lu Xiaotien's heart. These two Jindan cultivators actually frowned.
"Master Su, Master Lei, I wonder how my injuries are" Lu Xia Tian asked.
“It’s not optimistic. The ice-blue flames in your body are very similar to the legendary kind of spiritual fire, which is powerful indeed. However, it hasn't reached the level of a legendary spiritual fire yet. We can use powerful mana to force this spiritual fire out of your body, but the consequences would be severe. This spiritual fire has extremely strong backlash. Once forced to its limit, it will cause the mana input into your body to become chaotic, leading to counterproductive results. Not only will your leg injury fail to heal, but you’ll also suffer paralysis throughout your body and lose all your mana.” Lei Wanting spoke truthfully, his eyes looking at Lu Xiaottian with a hint of strangeness.
“With his magic depleted, he would be no different from a cripple. I wonder what kind of origin this spiritual fire has to be so powerful.” Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little disappointed. Even Lei Wanting, a Golden Core cultivator, couldn't withstand it. It seemed that these legs could only remain like this for now.
“This kind of spirit fire is somewhat similar to the rumored Burning Sky Spirit Fire. Although it's far less terrifying than the Burning Sky Spirit Fire, for you, it's an irresistible existence. Even a monster above the seventh rank rarely possesses such supernatural powers. What kind of monster have you encountered, or what forbidden place have you gone to” Lei Wanting couldn't help but ask.
"Back then, this junior went to Xuan Ye City with Su Qing and Luo Qian. Later, because we were attacked by a large group of demonic birds, Su Qing and Luo Qian and I ended up separating and went to a place called the Misty Forbidden Land. We encountered many dangers there and received guidance from the primordial spirit within a Soul-Suppressing Pearl. Later, we were reunited with Su Qing and Luo Qian. However, this primordial spirit guided me to find Su Qing and Luo Qian before me, and I had promised to do something for them. Afterward, I went to Yin Feng Valley, but unexpectedly fell into the trap set by this primordial spirit. I inexplicably encountered the Azure Ice Flame. After a struggle, I thought I was going to die, but then I encountered a strange demonic beast that sucked up the Azure Ice Flame in one gulp. This junior was severely injured at the time, and because the demon beast hid within a cloud of black mist, I couldn't see what it looked like clearly."
Lu Xia Tian let out a wry smile. As for the specific truth of the matter, he naturally wouldn't reveal it to the two Golden Core cultivators.
