504 The Hard Battle to Come

Jiang Ming was cultivating when a voice suddenly came in.

“Ning Caichen, can I come in?”

Jiang Ming immediately stopped his cultivation and stood up to open the door. He sized up Gongye Jiu, who was dressed in green, and said with a smile, “Master Jiu, please come in.

Gongye Jiu walked in and looked at Jiang Ming. He could not help but exclaim, “Your talent is truly stunning. In just half a year, you’ve grown to this stage.”

Although he did not have a cultivation base, he could naturally see a lot of details about Jiang Ming with his power of divination. For example, Jiang Ming had already advanced to the late stage of the Innate Martial Realm, and his cultivation in the Golden Core Realm was about to break through.

Jiang Ming smiled and said, “Thank you, Master Jiu. Without your strong support, I wouldn’t have been able to complete such a major breakthrough in just half a year. ”

That was indeed the case. If not for the support of Gongye Jiu’s many subordinates, they would not have been able to complete the excavation of large amounts of spirit stones in a short period of time. This made such improvement possible.

Without enough spirit stones to support him, no matter how good Jiang Ming’s aptitude was, it was useless.

Gongye Jiu only smiled at the flattery and said, “Speaking of which, it has been more than half a year since the founding day of your sect, and you, the sect master, have been unwilling to show yourself.”

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and said, “I’m not good at managing forces. I might as well hand everything over to Wu Ming and the others. Besides, Wu Ming is also in seclusion to cultivate now. Rao Wuqing and Zhai Tianfeng manage the major things…” Who knew how far they could develop the Flowerfruit Sect.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming could not help but frown.

Gongye Jiu’s expression also sank slightly.

“Many things have happened in the past six months. Many sects and factions have either been destroyed or submitted to the royal family. The Flowerfruit Sect will be next…”

Jiang Ming nodded and said in a deep voice, “I didn’t expect the royal family of the Feather Kingdom to have such great ambitions. I always thought that the king was just a puppet. In the end, he directly started a war between the royal family and the world of immortal cultivation! Although the Flowerfruit Sect is still developing during this period of time, its speed of development has obviously slowed down. Some of the nearby cities and regions have people from the royal family moving in, which has curbed our development. In the long run, we will definitely suffer a considerable blow.”

Jiang Ming began to think about how to deal with it next.

At that moment, Gongye Jiu suddenly said, “Do you want to think of a way to transfer the elite forces of the Flowerfruit Sect out of the Feather Kingdom and develop in the outside world?”

Jiang Ming looked at Gongye Jiu in shock. “Master Jiu, aren’t you overestimating me? If I could develop in the outside world, I wouldn’t have to stay in the Feather Kingdom.”

He smiled bitterly.

Gongye Jiu shook his head and said in a deep voice, “What I mean is that we should choose some grotto-heavens and blessed lands in the Feather Kingdom to establish a sect.”

Jiang Ming was stunned on the spot and said in disbelief, “How is this possible? Weren’t the grotto-heavens and blessed lands now controlled by the nine great forces? Weren’t the remaining grotto-heavens and blessed lands in the hands of the Divine Eye Sect and other factions?”

Gongye Jiu nodded and said, “That’s true. However, there are some places that the world does not know about. I have opened my Heavenly Eye. I have predicted that a grotto-heaven mystic realm will soon appear. This is an excellent opportunity.”

His eyes were full of vigor as he waited for Jiang Ming’s confirmation.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Ming took a deep breath and nodded. “In that case, I’ll make a trip!”

Gongye Jiu quickly led Jiang Ming to a place about thirty miles away from Unending City. Jiang Ming’s expression changed drastically when he sensed the changes in the void ahead.

“This is a sign that the grotto-heaven is about to open!”

The three grotto-heavens and six blessed lands were colloquial terms for the nine great sects based on where they were built. Grotto-heavens and blessed lands were different from other spirit mines and spirit vein lands. Several of them could be opened at once. For example, in the previous era, three grotto-heavens were opened one after another.

However, it was also possible that a new grotto-heaven would not appear for thousands of years.

He did not expect one to appear outside Unending City.

“In at most three months, this grotto-heaven will be completely opened. However, within three months, there will definitely be other forces eyeing this place. Therefore, Master Ning, you have to be mentally prepared,” Gongye Jiu said with a solemn expression.

Jiang Ming nodded. He naturally knew that this was a tough battle. The enemies were not just the three grotto-heavens, the six blessed lands, and the immortal cultivation sects.

Now, the royal family was also after them!

Jiang Ming had never been able to figure out the background of the royal family of the Feather Kingdom. He did not know how strong they were m. However, he knew that the royal family must have their own reasons for daring to flip the table.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming lowered his voice and said, “In that case, shouldn’t we make preparations in advance?”

Gongye Jiu raised his eyebrows and quickly said, “Before the grotto-heaven opens, you still need to go to a place.”

Jiang Ming was stunned at first.

“You mean, the General’s Tomb?”

“That’s right.”

Gongye Jiu nodded seriously and said, “According to my intelligence, many factions have obtained the General’s Token and are planning to explore it. There are even some foreign factions. Although they are not as powerful as the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, there are many factions that are comparable to the Divine Eye Sect and the six blessed lands.”

Jiang Ming could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Although he had not experienced it yet, everyone knew that this would definitely be a fierce battle.

“Master Jiu, I need your help,” Jiang Ming said seriously.

Gongye Jiu nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I’m the son of a Saint. I still have quite a few connections outside of the Feather Kingdom, especially in the area of individual cultivators. I can replace quite a lot of help for you. However, be wary of them.”

Jiang Ming took a deep breath and began to enter the second cultivation state. He planned to break through to the next stage!

At the same time, Gongye Zhang also received the news.

“Countless forces have gathered, and you are about to enter the General’s Tomb? Should I prepare in advance to get rid of Ning Caichen and the others?”
