81: Go to Tiandao Sect

It's a pity there's not enough time, otherwise, going to this Extraterritorial Battlefield after forming a Nascent Soul would be most suitable.

Inside the cave dwelling, Xu Qi'an mused to himself.

He had gained a lot from this Nascent Soul secret treasure.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to digest it.

Privately, Xu Qi'an gave the elixirs that were helpful for cultivation in the Jindan Initial Stage, Jindan Mid Stage, and even Core Formation Late Stage to Water Lingmiao and Jiang Qiuhe.

However, for Ying Kaihe and Shen Liang, he only gave elixirs helpful for cultivation in the Jindan Initial Stage and Jindan Mid Stage.

These elixirs were obtained by Xu Qi'an through Yuan Feng, and then gathered through the Omnipotent Treasure Basin; their quality was relatively high.

Xu Qi'an didn't know how long this trip to the Extraterritorial Battlefield would take, but according to the news, it would be at least several years.

Therefore, giving them the elixirs would also help them Cultivate and improve their strength.

It wasn't that Xu Qi'an was overly generous; aside from Water Lingmiao and Jiang Qiuhe, with whom he had a good relationship, he wasn't very familiar with Shen Liang and Ying Kaihe.

Although their usual performance showed he was extremely loyal and without ulterior motives, people's hearts are hard to fathom.

It would be more appropriate to wait until they had spent more time together in the future before making further plans.

But everything he did was within his power, and more importantly, it was for himself.

After handling everyone's matters, Xu Qi'an began to consider his own situation.

His current cultivation was at the seventh layer of the Dan Formation stage, not far from the eighth layer. His Divine Sense and soul were at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage level, and he had a Ghost King of the Nascent Soul Initial Stage. With Tier 4 Talismans and some divine abilities, he had a high probability of fighting a Nascent Soul Mid Stage!

However, whether he could defeat, or even kill, them was a difficult matter, as Nascent Soul Cultivators possessed Infant Treasures, which were extremely powerful.

Cultivators were different from yin souls; their combat power could not be generalized.

Although Xu Qi'an could defeat a Ghost King of the Nascent Soul Initial Stage in a one-on-one fight, it was hard to say if he could defeat a Cultivator of the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.

However, with these trump cards, Xu Qi'an had great confidence entering this Extraterritorial Battlefield.

And if he were given more time, waiting until the Omnipotent Treasure Basin gathered Tier 4 Talismans, while he couldn't say he could walk sideways among the Nascent Soul Stage, he could at least guarantee that he wouldn't be afraid when facing Nascent Soul Cultivators!

Unfortunately, this still required time.

Among the Tier 4 Talismans he obtained, excluding the Escape Heaven Talisman for fleeing.

There was also the Tier 4 Mid Grade defensive Talisman, Six Jia Heavenly Phenomenon Talisman, and the Tier 4 Mid Grade offensive Talisman, Dao Yuan Pure One Spiritual Light Talisman, as well as an extremely rare Mountain Splitting Earth Cracking Talisman!

As long as Xu Qi'an waited for some time, the Omnipotent Treasure Basin would gather more of these Talismans!

However, the grade of these Talismans currently could not be further improved. This was also the iron rule of gathering treasures from the Omnipotent Treasure Basin that Xu Qi'an had discovered before.

Only after he reached the Nascent Soul Stage and the patterns on the Omnipotent Treasure Basin reached four patterns could Tier 4 items be improved in grade.

And now, he could only change the quantity of high-grade items.

However, Xu Qi'an was quite satisfied with this.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was three days later.

Another Nascent Soul Decree descended.

"Xu Qi'an, Seven-An True Person of Yue Country, receive the decree! The Extraterritorial Battlefield has opened. Yue Country is limited to three days to lead four Jie Dan Cultivators and two hundred Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage to Tiandao City under the Heavenly Dao Sect!"

Xu Qi'an accepted the Nascent Soul Decree. Water Lingmiao and others also finished their cultivation and came to the Floating Cloud Sect square.

Li Yebai went to inform the two hundred Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage who were ready.

Soon, all the Cultivators who were about to head to the Extraterritorial Battlefield were assembled.

Xu Qi'an stood on the high platform, wearing a green robe, his black hair like ink, his brows exuding an imposing aura. He looked down at the crowd and spoke in a serious yet gentle voice.

"Everyone, first of all, I congratulate us on overcoming the first difficulty. Our Yue Country has accomplished the feat of having five Jie Dan Cultivators and two hundred Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"We have broken the blockade of the Three Great Countries against us!"

"This is our effort!"

"We have washed away the image of Yue Country being poor and weak for many years!"

"So let us celebrate for ourselves! Celebrate for Floating Cloud Sect! Celebrate for Yue Country!"

"Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate!"

"Celebrate for the Sect Leader!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Cultivators below instantly became fervent.

Xu Qi'an nodded with satisfaction: "But as you knew before, although we have completed the first stage, we also face the test of the second stage. I hope that in the test of the second stage, you can also bring glory to yourselves and to Yue Country!"

"Also, you must survive well in the Extraterritorial Battlefield!"

"Furthermore..."

Xu Qi'an's speech was extremely impactful. His words deeply entered the hearts of every Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Soon, several spirit ships arrived in the air above the square. The Cultivators present entered the spirit ships in groups led by others.

As soon as Xu Qi'an and his group saw that all the Cultivators had boarded the spirit ship, they planned to set off for the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Li Yebai, who was beside them, walked to the spirit ship and looked at Xu Qi'an and the others who were about to depart, tears streaming down his aged face.

"Sect Leader, please go. Have a safe journey. I will take good care of Floating Cloud Sect and Yue Country."

"I, this old man, will wait for the Sect Leader to return!"

Xu Qi'an, however, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Li Yebai, we will return victorious."

"Oh, right, I left the spirit dragon Xiao An in the sect. If you encounter anything difficult to resolve, you can let him take action!"

"And you, old fellow, I put some things in your cave dwelling. If you've made up your mind, don't refuse!"

"Think it through carefully, lest when I return, you are no longer here, and I'll have to burn incense for you every year!"

Hearing this, Li Yebai was stunned, but then he immediately understood what Xu Qi'an had placed there.

Unconsciously, tears welled up in his cloudy eyes again. He had originally wanted to say a few words of thanks to Xu Qi'an, but saw that the spirit ship had already cut through the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

He stood rooted to the spot, stunned for a while, before bowing and praying in his heart.

"Sect Leader, you are a Lord with great fortune, you must return! I, Li Yebai, will risk this old life of mine in this lifetime and must protect Yue Country for you!"

......

There were a total of three spirit ships heading to the Heavenly Dao Sect this time. Xu Qi'an arranged Ying Kaihe and Shen Liang on separate spirit ships to provide some defense and prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Xu Qi'an, Water Lingmiao, and Jiang Qiuhe were on the first spirit ship.

Inside the quiet room of the spirit ship.

Xu Qi'an came to Jiang Qiuhe's dwelling.

Xu Qi'an knocked on the door: "Jiang Daoist friend, it's me."

Immediately, Jiang Qiuhe opened the door and smiled, "So it's the Sect Leader. Please come in quickly."

Xu Qi'an then entered, closed the door, and set up a few Restrictions around.

Jiang Qiuhe looked at Xu Qi'an with interest.

Xu Qi'an coughed twice and spoke directly: "Jiang Daoist friend, I gained a lot from that Nascent Soul secret treasure. I came here this time to share some of the items with you."

"After all, if it weren't for the key you provided, I wouldn't have been able to obtain these."

Jiang Qiuhe had thought Xu Qi'an was there to discuss matters concerning the Extraterritorial Battlefield, but hearing about the items in the Nascent Soul secret treasure, she was quite curious and tempted.

However, she still shook her head and said, "Why bother, Sect Leader? You have already given Qiuhe a lot of things. It would be quite impolite for Qiuhe to ask for things from the Nascent Soul secret treasure again."

"You should know that I only obtained the key, but the Sect Leader is the one who opened the secret treasure. Moreover, the Sect Leader has also saved me."

"My original intention was to give it to the Sect Leader to repay your kindness."

Xu Qi'an stroked his chin and smiled, "You don't even want the Nascent Soul Condensing Pill?"

"No!" Jiang Qiuhe smiled and directly refused.

This was unexpected for Xu Qi'an.

"Alright, there is more than one Nascent Soul Condensing Pill. I'll keep them for now. When you Cultivate to the Peak of the Dan Formation stage, I'll give them to you."

Jiang Qiuhe then nodded with a smile.

"Then I won't disturb your cultivation."

Xu Qi'an then turned and left Jiang Qiuhe's quiet room.

Jiang Qiuhe followed behind him to see him out.

"Sect Leader, take care."

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly. As soon as he opened the door and came out, he saw a female Cultivator in a light blue long dress leaning against the doorframe on the other side, a hint of a smile on her face that seemed both present and absent.

"Xu Qi'an."

"Ling... Lingmiao?" Xu Qi'an was taken aback. He didn't know why Water Lingmiao would be waiting here.

Jiang Qiuhe also saw this scene and just covered her mouth, chuckling.

This made Xu Qi'an inexplicably suspect that he had done something wrong, and he could only laugh awkwardly and say.

"Jiang Daoist friend and I were just discussing matters in the room, about the Nascent Soul secret treasure in the Spiritual Cry Abyss."

Jiang Qiuhe also nodded with a smile.

Water Lingmiao shook her head, seemingly unconcerned: "Xu Qi'an and Jiang Daoist friend have misunderstood. I, Water Lingmiao, am not that kind of person."

"I came here simply because I happened to need to discuss something with both of you."

"It just so happened that I saw Xu Qi'an enter Jiang Daoist friend's room before me, so I waited outside."

At this moment, Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, truly afraid that Water Lingmiao had misunderstood something.

"Then, Lingmiao, what do you have to say? Shall we talk now?"
