Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

The cultivators of Three Spirits Gate were enveloped by the Ghost Fog and instantly became confused, starting to slaughter each other.

Old Ancestor Chikong secretly felt fortunate, "The Evil Ghost under Zhao Yu's command is truly terrifying! Unless one possesses Nascent Soul Level magical treasure powers to break through this Ghost Fog, once enveloped by it, one would lose their mind and start to kill each other! Lucky for me that I surrendered early!"

If Old Ancestor Chikong were to die in battle, then his lineage of cultivators, when facing the White Ghost Emperor, would be equally vulnerable, only killing each other and senselessly wasting their lives.

Old Ancestor Chikong and True Lord Luo Sheng, these two great Nascent Soul cultivators, also swiftly joined the battlefield, continuously slaughtering the cultivators of Three Spirits Gate.

Daoist Wu Chen and the other two great Nascent Soul cultivators looked on from a distance, silently observing. The three of them were unwilling to join the war of the Cultivation World without good reason.

"You beasts, all of you go to hell!"

A Golden Core cultivator from Three Spirits Gate suddenly had red eyes and let out an angry roar. His body erupted with terrifying Demonic Qi as he directly took out a Demonic magical treasure, the Blood Transformation Banner. A red light shot out from it, slicing toward a fellow sect member.

That sect member, completely unprepared, was struck by the Blood Transformation Banner and let out a tragic scream before dissolving into a puddle of blood, dying on the spot.

One by one, the cultivators from Three Spirits Gate began using various Demonic methods to slaughter each other.

Surprise flickered in Zhao Yu's eyes, "Three Spirits Gate actually has Demonic cultivators hidden within! Although their numbers are not many, indeed, quite a few cultivators practice Demonic cultivation techniques, using Demonic methods and even refining various Demonic magical treasures! The evidence is conclusive!"

Zhao Yu had attacked Three Spirits Gate initially just wanting to eliminate an affiliate sect of the Seven Seas Sect to weaken their strength. He had no evidence of the collusion between Three Spirits Gate and Demonic cultivators and was completely unaware of the existence of Demonic cultivators within Three Spirits Gate.

The Three Spirits Gate's Sect Leader, True Lord Linghua, must have been aware of this situation, or at least gave his tacit approval. Otherwise, those low-level Demonic cultivators could never have escaped his Divine Sense detection.

Only Demonic Nascent Soul cultivators with odd Divine Skills like the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch and the Scarlet Enchantress could potentially evade the Divine Sense of another Nascent Soul cultivator.

A sliver of a cold gleam passed through Daoist Wu Chen's eyes, "Three Spirits Gate indeed has colluded with Demonic cultivators! The thing I despise most in my life are these deceitful demons. I shall join the battle!"

True Lord Lengyun said, "If elder brother joins the battle, count me in as well!"

Fairy Qin Nan smiled gracefully, "The three of us siblings have always acted together, count me in too! I also detest these deceitful creatures!"

Three Spirits Gate was already no match for Zhao Yu's army, and with the addition of Daoist Wu Chen and the other two great Nascent Soul cultivators, the collapse of Three Spirits Gate became even more rapid.

It didn't take long for Three Spirits Gate to be breached by the Dan Ling Sect, and a large number of cultivators surrendered, after which they were demoted to the sin camp.

The news of Three Spirits Gate's collusion with Demonic cultivators quickly spread around the Blue Sky Sea, and the Dan Ling Sect accused the Seven Seas Sect of colluding with Demonic cultivators, officially joining the alliance of the Sacred Blue Palace.

Daoist Wu Chen and the other two great Nascent Soul cultivators also came forward to testify to the collusion between Three Spirits Gate and Demonic cultivators.

Once this news spread, it immediately caused a massive uproar in the Blue Sky Sea.

Within the Blue Sky Sea, the Sacred Blue Palace and the Seven Seas Sect are the two top human powerhouses, and Zhao Yu's Dan Ling Sect is recognized as a power just below the two top powerhouses, a dominant Nascent Soul Power.

Originally, the two top powerhouses were equally matched in strength, but Zhao Yu's Dan Ling Sect joining the Sacred Blue Palace disrupted the balance between the two sides.

Daoist Wu Chen and the other two great Nascent Soul cultivators are also recognized as good people in the Blue Sky Sea. They have many Nascent Soul friends there and their credibility is hundreds of times stronger than Zhao Yu's. Once the three of them spoke up, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Blue Sky Sea believed the collusion between Three Spirits Gate and the Demonic cultivators.

The Seven Seas Sect also promptly came out to quash rumors, declaring they had not colluded with Demon Path cultivators, and claiming they had no knowledge of the Three Spirits Gate's collusion with the Demon Path. Meanwhile, they slandered Zhao Yu's Dan Ling Sect for allegedly colluding with Demon Path cultivators.

Despite the Seven Seas Sect's dismissal of the rumors, many Nascent Soul cultivators remained distrustful, hastening to join the alliance formed by the Holy Azure Palace.

The influence and prestige of the Cultivator Alliance established by the Holy Azure Palace grew day by day.

The Holy Azure Palace was already a match for the Seven Seas Sect, and after Dan Ling Sect joined the alliance, the alliance's strength surged. The Nascent Soul powers seeking opportunities naturally chose to join the more formidable side.

Within the Quiet Room of the Danling Sect Headquarters.

"Who would have thought the Three Spirits Gate would have such a treasure!"

Zhao Yu opened a jade box, revealing a lump of yellow soil inside that shone with a dazzling Spiritual Light.

This lump of yellow soil was none other than the Divine Earth, a rare treasure formed deep under the sea, tens of thousands of feet below, where it had condensed for countless years blessed with Earth Spiritual Power. Only under the sea at a Fifth Order superior Spirit Vein could a small amount be condensed over tens of millions of years, making it extremely precious.

This Divine Earth was precisely the best treasure for Zhao Yu's Cultivation of the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture, and this lump of yellow soil could save him around a hundred years of hard Cultivation.

Zhao Yu swallowed the Divine Earth in one gulp, activated the Dao Fruit to refine it, and then channeled the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture to absorb its essence.

Half a year passed in a flash.

On this day, within the Quiet Room, an overwhelming aura at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage slowly spread from Zhao Yu's body.

Zhao Yu opened his eyes, feeling the Mana permeating his body, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly in a smile, "Finally, I've advanced to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage! With the Mana from my Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture and the various Divine Skills I possess, I can even fight against a great cultivator!"

The Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture was an even more powerful Cultivation Technique than the Mountain Sutra, a true legacy of the Immortals. Although Zhao Yu's Cultivation speed had slowed after practicing this scripture, his foundation grew much sturdier, and his Mana grew much stronger.

"With progress in Cultivation, when should we celebrate!"

After bathing and changing his clothes, Zhao Yu headed towards the study.

Upon seeing Zhao Yu, Li Xianjiao proactively came forward and said, "Uncle, an envoy from the Seven Seas Sect, Lord Ye Han of the wintry night, has asked for an audience. He has been waiting at our sect for over a month. Would you like to meet with him?"

Zhao Yu said, "One should not harm messengers during a war. Naturally, I will meet him! Have him wait for me in the Cloud Spirit Hall!"

Li Xianjiao gave a slight nod and gave the instructions accordingly.

Soon after, Zhao Yu and Li Xianjiao arrived at the Cloud Spirit Hall together.

A tall young man in a black Daoist robe, handsome beyond compare, stepped forward with a smiling face and said, "I am Ye Han, and it is an honor to meet Sect Master Zhao and the Sect Master's wife. This is Yu Zizhen, known as the number one beauty of our Seven Seas Sect and an expert in the dance of the Dao.

She has always been fascinated by the Sect Master, so I brought her to meet the Sect Master personally."

Standing beside Lord Ye Han was a stunningly beautiful woman in black, with a curvaceous figure that filled out her attire, skin as white and smooth as milk, a face like a melon seed, willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, cherry lips, and an aquiline nose, emanating an astonishing charm all over.

Although she was merely a Golden Core cultivator, her beauty and temperament were no less than Li Xianjiao's.

The peerless beauty curtsied and said, "Yu Zizhen greets Sect Master Zhao!"
