Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 111: The Chronicles of Jiangyun

1500 years ago, a person named Jiangyun suddenly appeared in the realm of Xuanzhou.

He gathered disciples, raised an army, and conquered all directions.

In less than thirty years, he unified Xuanzhou.

However, instead of establishing a sect, he founded the first immortal country in the history of Extreme Eternal.

That is, a country for cultivators!

Just as Jiangyun Country was born, it demonstrated tremendous potential and development energy. In its first year, the number of cultivators born exceeded the total number of cultivators cultivated by the First Heaven Sect through the transfer of the Great Heavenly Sign Technique!

At that time, other sects didn't feel anything special. They were even happy that the chaotic Xuanzhou had achieved unity and gained another cultivator in the Extreme Eternal World.

It wasn't until twenty years later that the number of Qi Refining cultivators in Jiangyun Country began to skyrocket, reaching its peak in the fortieth year of Jiangyun's existence.

In that year, a total of 60,000 Qi Refining cultivators were born in Jiangyun Country!

In comparison, Extreme Eternal only had 5 Qi Refining cultivators born each year!

Since then, various sects began to target Jiangyun. Qi Refining cultivators died inexplicably, and the knowledge and manuals of various transfer techniques were prohibited from entering Jiangyun Country.

But even under the blockade, Jiangyun continued to develop rapidly. In its hundredth year of establishment, it launched its first external war.

The main body of the war was between Jiangyun Country and the Monster Alliance.

The Monster Alliance was officially established 60,000 years ago and can be considered an old-school immortal Dao sect. The cultivators of the Monster Alliance are mainly monsters.

As everyone knows, monsters naturally eat humans.

Before Xuanzhou was unified, the people of Xuanzhou were food for the Monster Alliance. Even after Jiangyun was established, the mindset of the Monster Alliance cultivators remained unchanged.

Moreover, because Jiangyun Country's establishment speed was too fast and its power was not fully integrated, there were people who betrayed their own country and sold the people of Jiangyun to the Monster Alliance as food.

While Jiangyun was consolidating its internal strength, it also sent secret agents to the territory of the Monster Alliance to collect evidence.

Finally, on the hundredth anniversary of Jiangyun's establishment, Jiangyun issued a "Letter to All Citizens," publicly exposing the crimes of the Monster Alliance and declaring war against them.

On one side was an old sect that had been established for over 60,000 years, and on the other side was a newly established country that hadn't even reached a hundred years.

Everyone thought it would be a battle with a huge disparity in strength, but they guessed the beginning correctly, yet failed to guess the ending.

Indeed, there was a huge disparity in strength, but it was the Monster Alliance that was being beaten!

Jiangyun advanced nearly 4,000 miles in half a year, killing 32 of the hundred monster generals of the Monster Alliance!

Among the sixteen monster commanders of the Monster Alliance, four were killed!

The four Great Monster Emperors were killed and stripped of their armor because Jiangyun was known as the Jiangyun Great Emperor. Since then, the monster emperors no longer dared to use the word "emperor" and changed to "monster emperor."

The headquarters of the Monster Alliance, which was originally located by the Xuanhai, directly moved closer to the Five Realms Mountain, which is closer to the Halloween Alliance.

They would rather face their old rival, the Halloween Alliance, than be neighbors with the people of Jiangyun!

This battle completely made the whole world aware of Jiangyun Country.

When Jiangyun fought against the Monster Alliance, other human-dominated sects had no objections. However, the strength revealed by Jiangyun made all sects feel terrified!

Therefore, in the 110th year of Jiangyun's establishment, 1400 years ago, the Metal Phase Sect first raised its banner, believing that the lives of the Monster Race were also lives, and all beings were equal. The people of Jiangyun had killed too many in the territory of the Monster Alliance!

Indeed, Jiangyun's killings were heavy. Not only were all awakened beasts swept away, but a formation was also set up to shield the moonlight, causing the beasts in the places Jiangyun went to no longer awaken their intelligence, completely cutting off the roots of the Monster Race.

But can the Monster Race say such things? Where does the human race have the standing to speak?

He killed the Demonic Beast, benefiting the human race!

The progress of the Jiangyun war is going smoothly, naturally not allowing the Metal Phase Sect to chatter on the sidelines. So, a separate army was sent out, cutting through mountains and breaking temples, directly invading the territory of the Metal Phase Sect.

According to the Metal Phase Sect, this battle was a result of the unity and resistance of the sect's monks, who fought against the Jiangyun army for 44 years, providing favorable conditions for the later counterattack.

In reality, the Metal Phase Sect first sought support from the Earth Sieve Temple, and then expended a large amount of resources to request assistance from other sects.

In that battle, many disciples under Extreme Eternal shaved their heads and disguised themselves as monks to participate in the war. There are multiple descriptions of this in Universal Records.

Afterwards, many major sects also gained numerous Buddhist and Daoist Divine Abilities.

So, it was not the Metal Phase Sect fighting against the Jiangyun army, but the Jiangyun army fighting against the mercenaries of all the sects in the world, except for Extreme Eternal and Tianyi.

With the power of one continent, Jiangyun not only did not perish, but became stronger as they fought.

As the battles escalated, during the 44 years, almost all the sects in Extreme Eternal World, except for Extreme Eternal Sect and First Heaven Sect, mobilized their entire strength. With the exception of some reclusive old monsters who would be targeted by the Heavenly Dao if they made a move, almost everyone was involved.

But the result of their involvement was that Jiangyun's momentum was not suppressed.

Instead, Jiangyun became stronger as they fought!

Until 190 years after Jiangyun's founding, 1310 years ago, these sects united and requested assistance from Extreme Eternal and Tianyi.

They had wanted to make a move earlier, but after Extreme Eternal Heaven repeatedly refused to be seen as bullying the weak, they finally made a move under the pressure of the camaraderie with Extreme Eternal.

Extreme Eternal moved from north to south, while Tianyi moved from south to north. Both sects not only mobilized their Spirit Law Realm powerhouses, but also deployed Immortal Weapons!

The Tower of Eternity descended from the sky, not only annihilating millions of troops from the Jiangyun Kingdom, but also turning the northern foothills of Xuanzhou into a desert.

The Jiangyun Kingdom was not lacking in top experts, nor in middle-tier forces, nor in low-level cultivators. They also had formations that could gather the power of all living beings to form an army to resist Transcendent Level powerhouses.

But the power of the Immortal Weapons was too overwhelming. The people of the Jiangyun Kingdom had never seen them before and thought that gathering all living beings could still resist.

The result was that their main force was wiped out in one battle.

After that, Jiangyun was no longer able to resist the two sects, until Extreme Eternal broke into the Jiangyun Imperial City and Jiangyun Suo was killed by the Immortal Weapon. Finally, the battle came to an end.

The ultimate result was that the Jiangyun royal family was completely slaughtered, leaving only a newborn princess.

The royal archives were taken away by the two sects, and the Jiangyun Kingdom split into the Ten Thousand Gods Temple and the Great Principle Sect, with no possibility of reunification.

The two sects originally thought that Jiangyun's rise was due to its institutional advantages, so they conducted small-scale trials within their sects.

But they quickly discovered that such practices required an extremely terrifying amount of spiritual energy.

Even the resource-rich Extreme Eternal couldn't sustain it, so how could the people of the Jiangyun Kingdom afford so many cultivators?

They also searched through the archives brought back by the Jiangyun royal family, but found no secrets to Jiangyun's rise.

The two sects thought that the secret was in the hands of the other, so they secretly communicated with each other, resulting in the emergence of a hundred-country battlefield.

Through frank communication, the two sides sincerely exchanged opinions and ultimately confirmed that neither sect had obtained the secret.

So, it could only be that Jiangyun Suo hid the secret before his death!

And what secret could make a country rise so quickly?

Apart from the Supreme Dao Technique, there should be no other possibility!

So, where is this Supreme Dao Technique now? Was it destroyed by Jiangyun Suo, or is it hidden?

The two sects consulted a powerful diviner, and ultimately confirmed that the inheritance still existed, but the Supreme Dao Technique possessed an unparalleled luck and could not be divined for its location. They couldn't even divine the name of the Divine Ability!

In the end, they only confirmed one thing: this secret is related to the Jiangyun stone, a specialty of the Jiangyun Kingdom!

Jiangyun stones were once extensively collected by Jiangyun Shang, and then cast into the national jade seal of Jiangyun Kingdom. However, the whereabouts of this national jade seal became unknown after Jiangyun Shang's death.

The Jiangyun Imperial Seal is closely related to the fate of Jiangyun Kingdom, and its grade has reached the level of a Peerless Grade Dao Weapon.

In order to prevent the revival of the Jiangyun Imperial Seal and the search for its successor, both sects ordered the renaming of Jiangyun stones to Purple Heart stones, completely cutting off the spread of the name Jiangyun.

Although Jiangyun Kingdom was destroyed, the spirit of the people did not die, and a large number of citizens changed their surnames to Jiangyun, thus passing on this name.

Four hundred years ago, after searching the entire Xuanzhou without finding the Supreme Dao Technique "Extreme Eternal," the Taiyi Sect and the First Heaven Sect finally changed their approach.

They signed the "Taiyi/First Heaven Agreement" and set up the Taiyi/First Heaven Grand Array. At the same time, they distributed a large number of Purple Heart stones to all sects, establishing what is known as the Outer Disciple Trial.

At the beginning, this trial received a lot of attention, even the Extreme Eternal/First Heaven Sects were personally responsible for it.

But after a hundred years and countless generations of outer disciple trials, the secret of this Supreme Dao Technique still remained unsolved.

Subsequently, the importance of the outer disciple trial gradually decreased, passing from the sect leaders to the elders, and then to the Qi Refining Realm elders.

Even the Qi Refining Realm elders had to cultivate and found this matter troublesome, so they simply handed it over to the outer disciple managers.

If it weren't for the fact that the outer disciples experienced a significant transformation in their state of mind and strength after the trial, this trial would have been abolished long ago.

As time passed, the information gradually became open, and many disciples with connections already knew what the outer disciple test was about. As a result, fewer and fewer people participated, to the point where no one participated for one or two years.

Yang Ning is the first disciple to participate in the outer disciple trial in the past five years!

Yun Lang also didn't pay much attention to Yang Ning's trial results. It would be better to have some free time to livestream and gain some fans, right?

Until a message was sent to her almost unused identity jade token.

"What? You said the First Heaven Sect has sent nine outer disciples to participate in the outer disciple trial, and the Holy Alliance has also sent the Saint Child?"

"Yes!" Fengyuhe God said, "These nine outer disciples are not ordinary outer disciples. One of them is the Snow Fairy, with the Snow Jade Glass Body, naturally born as the Snow Master. Among the remaining eight, six of them have Spirit Weapons!"

"Is that so?" Yun Lang frowned. This lineup is a bit exaggerated!

What does it mean to have six Spirit Weapons? With such a lineup, they could even attempt to ambush Qi Refining cultivators who are a higher level than them!

One ambush for a small sect's Qi Refining cultivator is almost guaranteed, and even a careless move from a cultivator of a larger sect could result in being killed!

With such a lineup participating in the outer disciple trial, could it be that the First Heaven Sect has already unraveled the secret of the Purple Heart stone?

"That's not the main point!" Fengyuhe God continued, "The main point is that four of these eight people were killed by the Mysterious Heaven Sect of the Holy Alliance's Saint Child. The Mysterious Heaven Sect unleashed attacks comparable to a Qi Refining cultivator's Heaven Level Divine Ability. Not just once, I don't know if he used some special Divine Ability or a special Spirit Weapon!"

If it weren't known that Physical Body Realm cultivators couldn't use Treasure Weapons, Fengyuhe God would suspect that the Mysterious Heaven Sect was using Treasure Weapons!

"Is that so?" Yun Lang was even more surprised.

The lineup of the First Heaven Sect was already quite exaggerated, but it was single-handedly killed by the Mysterious Heaven Sect of the Holy Alliance?

This Mysterious Heaven Sect is even more ruthless!

The number one ranked Immortal Dao Sect and the third ranked Immortal Dao Sect both sent strong participants to the outer disciple trial. What could be the reason?

"I know about this!" Yun Lang said, "By the way, why did you tell me all this? Is there something you need?"

She and Fengyuhe God had only exchanged contact information, but had no communication. Why would Fengyuhe God report this information to her for no reason?

There must be a request!

The difference in their status was too great, so Yun Lang didn't need to use any rhetoric. She could just ask directly.

"That's right!" Fengyuhe God hurriedly said, "The battle between the Mysterious Heaven Sect and the Snow Fairy happened in a small divine realm, which has exhausted me mentally. I was thinking if I could go to Extreme Eternal and rest for a while!"

"Granted!" Yun Lang nodded. She understood what Fengyuhe God meant. He wanted to seek refuge.

This news is enough to cover his expenses for fleeing.

"This matter is important, I have to report it to the sect!" Yun Lang put down his identity token and immediately stood up, suddenly thinking of something.

"Oh right, Yang Ning!" Some of them also participated in the trial this time!

If it was just ordinary disciples participating, she wouldn't bother, but Yang Ning is Lin Yuanxi's beloved!

He doesn't have a Spirit Weapon on him, and he's alone. If he encounters a Snow Fairy or the Mysterious Heaven Sect, wouldn't he be sending himself to his death?

Yun Lang immediately pulled up the monitoring screen of the Taiyi Formation. It was a map with countless purple dots on it.

On the right side, there was a string of text with a number behind it. These were the names of the participants in the trial and the number of purple heart stones they had.

With a thought, Yun Lang found Bai Qi's name.

Immediately, his expression changed from worry and nervousness to astonishment!

Bai Qi's name emitted a faint purple light, and behind the name was a huge number!

75!

The next second, this number quietly changed to 76!

77!

78!

79!

"What is this? Four purple heart stones in three seconds?" Yun Lang widened his eyes. This junior brother of his is so powerful?

"Since he's the person Yuan Xi likes, it seems natural for him to be amazing, right?"

And!

She thought Yang Ning didn't have a Spirit Weapon on him, and Yuan Xi also said she didn't give him one.

But did she really not give him one?

Could it be that she lied in order to save face for her lover?

"Being in love is different, she's learned how to deceive people!" Yun Lang pursed his lips. His best friend of many years actually lied to him, all for a man!

Does this man have such great charm? When he led people, he didn't feel anything special!

Since his disciple is killing it, Yun Lang is in no hurry to report it. Instead, he decides to first find the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

"The name doesn't exist?"

"Then Snow Fairy!"

"That name doesn't exist either?"

Yun Lang doesn't mind, after all, using fake names during the trial is a common tradition. Even if you search for Yang Ning, you won't find him.

But since their sect also has strong participants, even if the Halloween Alliance and the First Heaven Sect really discover the secret of the purple heart stones, their Extreme Eternal won't be left behind.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, which is to contact Yang Ning and explain the situation to him.

What? You say the Taiyi Formation blocks sound and prohibits message transmission during the trial?

Then do you know who set up this formation and these rules?
