Witnessing the shattered Ghost God Gate of Phoenix City, many high-tier cultivators of the Ji Family, as well as nearby Immortal Sect cultivators, finally felt a huge stone lift from their hearts.
This time, everyone’s luck was still quite fortunate.
Though the Ghost God Gate had opened a considerable width of the Two Realms Passage, it was peacefully stabilized in the shortest time.
The more formidable Ghost Gods inside didn’t have the chance to emerge.
At the same place, after the explosion, the large space-time rift began to self-heal without the ongoing tearing of the Ghost Secret Technique.
Moments later, the space-time rift completely vanished.
Witnessing this scene, Ji Ning couldn’t help but show a slight smile.
At this moment, his gaze saw Zhang Jian waving his hand to retrieve a Ghost God Divine Artifact.
It was the Lifebound Divine Artifact, the Soul-Catching Chain, of the earlier Soul-Catching Ghost God.
This pitch-black chain emitted a ghostly glow in Zhang Jian’s palm, with countless Netherworld Dao Laws flowing as runes on the chain, manifesting a grand marvelous power within.
This was a Divine Dao Dharma Artifact.
Inside, it possessed Nether Authority related to death and souls.
Zhang Jian glanced at it and then stored it away.
After being purified by Immortal Light, this thing could still be reused.
However, the Immortal Treasures he currently possessed were already sufficient, including two Tier Four Immortal Treasures, the Mountain-Sealing Seal and the Celestial Demon Gourd.
He also had the Tier Five Immortal Treasure, Thousand Jins, and the Tier Three Immortal Treasure, Taiyin Ice Soul Divine Bow.
This kind of crowd-control Immortal Treasure was of limited use to him.
But it could temporarily be kept as a trophy.
After all, nobody would disdain a precious Tier Three Immortal Treasure.
Ji Ning’s eyes twinkled with delight, just as he was about to speak when suddenly, from deep within the void came two streaks of light. One fell into Zhang Jian’s hand, and the other flew into his own.
The two received the Communication Magical Swords and, after a brief glance, their expressions turned grave.
"West He Region?"
Ji Ning’s expression instantly became exceedingly serious.
After pondering, he said to Zhang Jian.
"Your Majesty, the Ancient Demon Spring in the West He Region is extremely involved. I’m afraid we must arrive in advance!"
Zhang Jian glanced at him, furrowing his brows slightly.
With just a call, the two of them rushed towards the West He Region.
A sense of urgency nagged at Zhang Jian’s mind.
In the Zhou Mountain Realm, the West He Region, among the five Divisions, was the most complex. It was home to the most Ancient Elves, Barbaric Divine Race, and Ancient Relic Species.
Due to its unique environment, it was also abode to many powerful demon fiends.
Inside, there would inevitably be pawns of Outer World Demon Gods and Outer Demon Gods.
If things were not handled properly, who knew how many terrifying Great Demon Fiends could use this to wreak havoc upon the world.
The two moved at lightning speed, streaking across the void like meteors. After flying along the coast of the Celestial Wind Sea for some time, a grand continent appeared before their eyes.
From a distance, they could already sense an invisible layer of evil qi permeating deep within the void.
It seemed like a layer of black shroud, covering the West He Divine Continent and the surrounding sea area.
Under the black shroud’s mist, many creatures, including demon fiends, became highly aggressive, often attacking other races proactively.
Sensing this black killing power, Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered with deep thought, and he sent a message to Gaojing City of East Continent.
This was to summon reinforcements.
Zhang Jian had a premonition that there was a person who might help him in this endeavor.
...
West He Region, Celestial Heart Continent
Within an ancient Divine Hall, Zidian Ancestor and Ancestor Chufa had already arrived ahead of time.
Beside him were several immortals with formidable Dao Practice.
Ji Family’s Grand Elder, Ji Tianyun.
Si Family’s Sixth Ancestor, Si Zhen.
Also present were powerful Celestial Immortals from Celestial Will Sect and Nanhua Sect, all banding together, ready to suppress the Ancient Demon Spring.
As they discussed their strategy, numerous high-tier cultivators from the Tongshan Dao Lineage, Si Family, Ji Family, Celestial Will Sect, and Nanhua Sect formed patrol teams around the Ancient Demon Spring to prevent demonic cultivators from sneaking in to cause chaos and disrupt the spring’s seal.
In a simple wooden hut at the center, Ancestor Chufa gazed at the crowd.
"Everyone is now aware of the situation, the spatial turbulence around the Ancient Demon Spring has torn apart a part of the sealing dharma ban, alarming the accumulated demonic evil qi within the spring over billions of years. Now, as the demonic evil qi destabilizes, the divine artifact suppressing the spring’s evil qi is likely losing its effectiveness. We need to find a way to stabilize the chaos of space-time, restore the surrounding forbidden techniques, and simultaneously find a way to vent part of the spring’s qi. This is the only long-term solution!"
Hearing this, the other immortals nodded slightly.
Ancestor Chufa’s words were wise and experienced.
"Brother Chufa, how about letting you take the lead this time?"
A celestial immortal cultivator with an elegant demeanor spoke with a smile.
He wore a silver-gray Daoist robe, a Lotus Crown on his head, with wide floating sleeves, exuding a graceful and otherworldly temperament.
He was Yihun Daoist, the Celestial Immortal Ancestor of Celestial Will Sect.
A highly profound Ancient Immortal practitioner.
His suggestion immediately received support from the other immortals.
Si Family’s Sixth Ancestor, Si Zhen, smiled and said.
"Brother Yihun’s words align exactly with my thoughts. Uncle Chufa’s years of cultivation surpass all other immortals, and furthermore, he is an Earth Immortal acknowledged by the Celestial Realm. With Uncle in command, we can unify our efforts and avoid acting like scattered sand!"
Observing the scene, other immortals’ eyes flickered with a peculiar look.
Some odd expressions arose within their gazes.
The Ji Family and Tongshan Dao Lineage supporting this Ancestor Chufa was expected.
But since when did Celestial Will Sect align so closely with the Tongshan Dao Lineage?
