56: Yuan Dynasty Conspiracy

"Should I run away?"

Xu Qi'an's first thought was still to just run away.

After all, he came from humble beginnings and had spent three years as a Spiritual Farmer after transmigrating, which made it difficult for him to develop any sense of collective belonging.

Moreover, this was a cultivation world!

He was originally forced into this by the Heavenly Dao Sect and Floating Cloud Sect, so there was no talk of any kindness.

However, this thought was immediately dismissed by Xu Qi'an.

Because he definitely couldn't run away, and perhaps someone in the Heavenly Dao Sect was waiting for him to take the bait.

Fleeing before the war was a capital offense in the Heavenly Dao Sect!

He would be hunted down by Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators!

This was the information Xu Qi'an had recently obtained from that Nascent Soul Decree.

But with such harsh requirements, what else could he do?

After all, if a Cultivator encountered the mess in Yue Country, they would probably just give up and run away directly.

But actually, this requirement was very simple for Xu Qi'an.

After all, he had the Omnipotent Treasure Basin.

And he still had a large surplus of Dustfall Pills left over from his Foundation Establishment and Dan Formation stages.

Let alone five Jie Dan Cultivators, he could even stack up fifty Jie Dan Cultivators for the Heavenly Dao Sect.

As for Foundation Establishment, there was even less to talk about.

But the ideal was very full, and the reality was very lean.

He could stack them up, but how should he explain it?

Even the Jie Dan Cultivators in the Three Great Countries, which were stronger than Yue Country, were only in the single digits.

Take the strongest Yuan Country, for example, it only had a mere five Jie Dan Cultivators.

"Is someone targeting me? Or is this extraterritorial battle very important, reaching a point where the Heavenly Dao Sect's survival is at stake?"

"But the Heavenly Dao Sect has more than ten Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, and no less than a hundred Jie Dan Cultivators. What kind of crisis have they encountered?"

"Who are they going to fight against this time, which Sect or which country?"

Xu Qi'an was truly in a state of confusion now.

If someone was targeting him, then his every move might be monitored, but if the Heavenly Dao Sect had encountered a major battle, there was still a chance to fish in troubled waters.

"Ultimately, I still don't have enough information."

"However, this is probably both a targeting and something that the Heavenly Dao Sect has truly encountered."

"Perhaps it's the Three Great Countries causing trouble, after all, they wanted to annex Yue Country before!"

After thinking, Xu Qi'an decided that he still needed to obtain more information from the Heavenly Dao Sect to make a better plan.

He thought of the Heavenly Dao Sect Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator who had given Yue Country the ten-year agreement.

"Perhaps I can probe a bit from this Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!"

Xu Qi'an clearly felt that the aura revealed in the previous Nascent Soul Decree was inconsistent with the aura of the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator who had given Yue Country the ten-year agreement.

Moreover, the latter's aura was clearly weaker than the former's.

"Since there is information left on the Nascent Soul Decree, which can be seen by that Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, perhaps I can use this to meet that Cultivator!"

...

Heavenly Dao Sect, a Fourth-Grade Cultivation Country!

Its Sect Leader, Sun Lin, is a great Cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage!

In addition, the Heavenly Dao Sect also has two great Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, three in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and five in the Nascent Soul Initial Stage!

Their strength can be said to be terrifying!

They govern hundreds of large and small Third-Grade Cultivation Countries under their command.

At this moment, in a palace in the Heavenly Dao Sect, there were two Cultivators.

The person kneeling in worship was Yuan Yi of Yuan Country, and the person in the upper position was surprisingly a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator of the Heavenly Dao Sect!

This person looked middle-aged, with a fierce appearance that seemed to have the power of tigers and wolves, appearing extremely ferocious, unlike ordinary people.

"Get up, Yuan Yi, I have already helped you with this matter as you requested."

"On the original decree for Yue Country, I changed the requirement of providing two Jie Dan Cultivators to five, and eighty Foundation Establishment to two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

"However, as my Disciple, the quota that the Heavenly Dao Sect gives to your Yuan Country cannot be reduced. According to the potential of your Yuan Country, your Yuan Country must provide at least six Jie Dan Cultivators this time!"

"You must understand this point."

"Because the Heavenly Dao Sect has its rules, and as an enforcement Elder, I originally couldn't help you, but I made an exception to help you this time because you are my Disciple, do you know?"

Yuan Yi was wearing a yellow dress, elegant and composed, looking quite charming and attractive.

She respectfully bowed and said, "I understand, thank you, Revered Master!"

Chen Xiaotian nodded, then asked with interest, "But why are you targeting Yue Country so much? Isn't Yue Country the weakest among your Four Great Countries? What is there about such a country that is worth your attention?"

Yuan Yi quickly explained, "Revered Master, you are right, the current Yue Country is indeed very weak, with only one incompetent Cultivator who luckily formed a Dan."

"But the historical Yue Country was not to be underestimated. I have seen it in the history of Yuan Country, back when there was no cultivation Alliance."

"Yue Country has always been a major country among our four countries, firmly suppressing our Three Great Countries."

"We even almost got wiped out by Yue Country once!"

"This has always been the shame of our Yuan Country!"

"It wasn't until the establishment of the cultivation Alliance that Yue Country lost several Jie Dan Cultivators in a major battle, damaging its Foundation, and then the Blood Spirit Sect depleted the lives of tens of thousands of Cultivators. It wasn't until the generation of Floating Cloud Sect that it truly declined."

"But who knows, maybe one day Yue Country will become strong again and lord over our Three Great Countries, which is something this Junior cannot tolerate!"

"And it is also something that our Yuan Country royal family cannot tolerate!"

"Moreover, only when Yue Country is personally destroyed by our Yuan Country can the shackles on our Yuan Country Cultivators' cultivation be completely removed!"

"This is the painful lesson given by the history of Yuan Country!"

"Oh? Shackles? Let me see." Chen Xiaotian immediately extended his right hand and shot out a yellowish spiritual light.

He had originally accepted Yuan Yi as a Disciple through some coincidence, and he hadn't expected that his Disciple's country would have such a matter.

Chen Xiaotian's overbearing Nascent Soul power quickly permeated Yuan Yi's body, but after several cycles, he didn't find anything special.

But just as Chen Xiaotian was about to give up, he indeed sensed a mysterious and profound feeling, the same feeling he had encountered when he broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

"I didn't expect that there would be such shackles in the world!"

"Yuan Yi, if you can break these shackles, there is hope for you to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage!"

A smile immediately appeared on Yuan Yi's face: "Revered Master is right, that's why I have taken this approach!"

"Unfortunately, Cultivation Countries cannot fight against each other, otherwise I would have long led the Yuan Country Cultivators to destroy Yue Country!"

"Originally, ten years ago, when Nie Fuyun of Floating Cloud Sect died and Yue Country had no Jie Dan Cultivators, it should have been annexed by our Three Great Countries."

"From then on, there would be no trace of Yue Country, and my shackles could also be broken."

"But Lord Luo He came out to interfere..."

"This Disciple is very helpless."

"And five years ago, seeing the ten-year agreement expire and the Floating Cloud Sect Disciple fail to break through to the Dan Formation stage, our Yuan Country was about to get its revenge, but an incompetent Cultivator suddenly appeared!"

"He unexpectedly formed a Dan, that person called Seven-An True Person Xu Qi'an!"

"This person once again ruined my grand plan!"

"This Disciple truly has a hard time speaking of her suffering!"

"But this time, fortunately, I met Revered Master. With Revered Master's help, I will definitely be able to personally destroy Yue Country!"

Chen Xiaotian stroked his beard and said in a dry voice, "I still have many things to attend to. Yuan Yi, you should handle this matter yourself."

"However, remember, you have broken the rules."

"Rules are the most important!"

Yuan Yi immediately bowed again and replied, "Revered Master's words, Yuan Yi will keep them in mind."

Chen Xiaotian hummed and then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from the spot.

However, a satisfied smile appeared on Yuan Yi's face: "Hehe, Yue Country, having existed for so long, it's time for it to disappear into the long river of history."

"I want to see how you can produce five Jie Dan Cultivators in ten years!"
