Chapter 1257: Chapter 691 Nirvana Dan, Golden Liquid Jade Pill Chapter 1257: Chapter 691 Nirvana Dan, Golden Liquid Jade Pill After the Water and Fire Veins of the Five Elements Sect surrendered, the previously unstoppable army of Rock Country found themselves unexpectedly halted at the border of Ming Nation.
In an instant, Duan Shuyu, whose fame shone as bright as the sun, suffered a blow to his reputation and was even impeached in the Imperial Court.
However, this was mainly because negotiations between Divine Wood Sect and the Five Elements Sect had not yet concluded.
Jiang Zongheng personally went to the front line to represent Chen Mobai in negotiations with Chun Yusu, the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect.
At first, Chun Yusu was unyielding, stating that unless Divine Wood Sect returned the territories of the six nations and also released the two elders from Nu Jiang captured by Divine Wood Sect, all negotiations were off the table.
With such terms, Jiang Zongheng did not respond.
Since the Five Elements Sect could not let go of their pride and recognize the reality, it was decided to fight first.
No mortal army, even if Ming Nation’s power was multiplied by tenfold, could block Duan Shuyu, a peerless great general.
With orders from Jiang Zongheng, Duan Shuyu, like a tiger released from its cage, quickly conquered most of Ming Nation’s territory, advancing to the Royal Capital of Ming Nation within just a month.
There, the army was stopped.
Because Cultivators of the Earth Vein from the Five Elements Sect had intervened.
Under these circumstances, Jiang Zongheng also personally arrived on the frontline battlefield, summoning cultivators from the mountains and peaks that had surrendered to Divine Wood Sect to ignite another great war among cultivators.
Although Zhou Ye possessed the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, this was now the only concern for Divine Wood Sect.
And to maintain this deterrent, Zhou Ye inevitably could not leave Hunyuan Immortal City.
Not engaging in battle with even Core Formation cultivators, the quantity and strength of Earth Vein cultivators from the Five Elements Sect were slightly inferior to Grand Tutor Jiang’s side.
This was because Chen Mobai’s heart was not so ruthless; he didn’t want to give Zhou Ye a chance to take away decades of his accumulated effort, hence he didn’t send Foundation Establishment Practitioners from Divine Wood Sect.
Except for Jiang Zongheng.
Because this disciple was the key link at the frontline; without him, it was impossible to summon so many cultivators willing to help Divine Wood Sect.
Jiang Zongheng volunteered for this role, and Chen Mobai could have stopped him, but he knew this was where his disciple’s Dao Heart lay, and if not fulfilled, he could not pass the Heart Demon stage of Core Formation.
After agreeing, Chen Mobai gave Jiang Zongheng a Short Teleportation Talisman and a Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman infused with his own Spiritual Power.
Chen Mobai had only heard of the power of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, so he didn’t know if these talismans would be effective, but they were the best lifesaving items he could provide.
The reason Jiang Zongheng decided to risk himself was because he saw very clearly.
He knew that Ming Nation was the only, and the largest obstacle to uniting the Eastern Wilderness, and the sooner it was dealt with, the better.
And the key to Ming Nation was Zhou Ye.
As long as he remained in Hunyuan Immortal City, no Divine Wood Sect Core Formation Cultivator dared to set foot in Ming Nation’s territory.
If he could use his own life to exchange with Zhou Ye, a fellow Core Formation Cultivator, Jiang Zongheng was willing to sacrifice his life for an unprecedented great unification.
Clearly, Jiang Zongheng’s actions were not enough.
Before the Royal Capital of Ming Nation, cultivators from both sides engaged in a massive battle without the support of Foundation Establishment Practitioners from Divine Wood Sect, and the difference in strength between the two sides was not very large.
But as time passed, with assistance coming more and more, an increasing number of cultivators from almost half of the Eastern Wilderness’s Cultivator Families and Sects came under Grand Tutor Jiang’s command, even those from territories of Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace who traveled thousands of miles to lend their aid.
Under these circumstances, the Large Formation jointly set up by the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect was only sustained for three months before it was completely shattered.
After the Royal Capital of Ming Nation was breached, Jiang Zongheng, seizing the opportunity, once again led his allied cultivator army and took possession of the most crucial Medium Spirit Stone Mine of the Five Elements Sect.
The Five Elements Sect had two Medium Spirit Stone Mines, one in Fire Country guarded by Sheng Zhaoxi.
And the other was here in Ming Nation, also the largest source of Spirit Stones for the entire Hunyuan Immortal City.
Although the Five Elements Sect had accumulated a considerable stock of Spirit Stones over the years, now, to prepare for the imminent great battle, a Rank-4 Large Formation needed to be constantly activated.
Such consumption could, at most, be maintained for about twenty years.
This situation made the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect realize one thing!
The momentum had passed!
But since they had already failed in direct combat, now only having the power to defend the city, Chun Yusu dared not lead the Earth Vein cultivators to that Spirit Stone Mine.
Unless Zhou Ye made a move!
But facing Jiang Zongheng’s seemingly suicidal behavior, this Core Formation Cultivator of the Five Elements Sect was still indifferent, extremely cautious, and did not take a single step out of the city.
A month later, Jiang Zongheng sent another letter to negotiate with Chun Yusu.
This time, Chun Yusu’s attitude was completely different.
He only requested to maintain Ming Nation’s independence, conceding the six nations as well as the Water and Fire Veins, and even agreed to cede everything else as long as they could reclaim the Medium Spirit Stone Mine in Ming Nation’s mainland.
But now it was Jiang Zongheng’s turn.
He demanded the entirety of Hunyuan Immortal City and even the whole of Ming Nation from the Five Elements Sect’s Earth Vein. In exchange, he would allow them to use the Teleportation Array to leave the Eastern Wilderness.
Which meant he wanted everything!
At this, Chun Yusu was so enraged that he flipped the table.
After another two months of stalemate, any cultivator who left Hunyuan Immortal City could not return.
Even though the Medium Transporting Formation within the Immortal City was still operational, since all the Fang Markets that could be accessed through it were under the control of Divine Wood Sect, they couldn’t procure essentials like Spirit Rice needed by cultivators.
