This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Not long after resting at the Great Wilderness Sect, two old men emerged from the forest and approached the group.

Upon seeing this, Li Kai and the other elders became much more vigilant.

"Lu Heguang, we've always kept to ourselves, what are you doing here?"

The two men, Lü Heguang and Fan Jiang, were inner sect elders of the Zhenwu Sect.

As inner elders of the same dominant force, they naturally knew each other.

"Elder Li, don't be so wary. We've come here tonight to discuss something with your Great Wilderness Sect. We mean no harm."

Lu Heguang said sincerely.

Li Kai and the other elders exchanged glances, and after a few seconds of silence, Li Kai nodded, signaling the group of geniuses from the Great Wilderness Sect to continue resting.

The group then led Lü Heguang and the other person to the other side.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Heguang stroked his beard and laughed, "Li Kai, are you aware of the rumors surrounding Wuyin Mountain?"

"What rumor?" Li Kai frowned slightly.

"Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, an epic battle took place here, in which the two great demon ancestors, the Heavenly Phoenix and the True Dragon, fought to the death and both perished."

"The progenitor of the demon race?"

"Tenth rank??" Li Kai and the others' pupils shrank suddenly.

"That's right, it's the tenth rank, and at the peak of the tenth rank, which is the perfection of a true god."

"Although the Heavenly Phoenix and the True Dragon perished together in that battle, their bodies were left behind and buried beneath Mount Wuyin."

"After tens of thousands of years of nurturing, a dragon vein has formed deep underground in this place, and the demonic beasts that dwell on it have been infected by the Nirvana Fire of the Heavenly Phoenix, awakening strange fire elements."

"But those two most precious treasures still remain here, hidden deep in Wuyin Mountain."

"And at this moment, they seem to be undergoing some kind of amazing change, to the point of being born."

"A skeleton at the peak of the tenth tier?!"

Li Kai and the others were shocked. Tenth rank! What does that mean? This is something that can rival the strongest trump card of his Great Wilderness Sect.

The strongest force on the continent!

And now they've actually encountered it?!

"........"

"Is this really true?" Li Kai's expression became more solemn than ever before.

"It is true, it is recorded in the scrolls of my True Martial Sect."

"Since there are tenth-tier Heavenly Phoenix and True Dragon skeletons here, why did your True Martial Sect tell us about them? Aren't you afraid they'll be stolen?"

Lu Heguang smiled helplessly, "There is no other way. After all, compared to losing this opportunity, even dividing it up is more beneficial to my True Martial Sect."

"What do you mean by this?" Li Kai asked, puzzled.

"You should know about that underground dragon vein, right?"

"nature."

"That dragon vein, after absorbing the Nirvana Fire for tens of thousands of years, underwent a tremendous change, and it is suspected that it has begun to give birth to an extremely intelligent spirit."

"And after it is fully formed, it will devour the last remains of the Heavenly Phoenix True Dragon, becoming a completely new and terrifying existence."

“At that time, a mutated True God may appear in my Eastern Heaven Realm, who is closely related to the demon race. My True Martial Sect naturally does not want to see such an outcome.”

"But we can't contact any powerful figures within the sect to come in the short term, so we have no choice but to cooperate with you."

"When will the dragon vein take shape?" Li Kai's eyebrows twitched.

"tomorrow."

"I see....."

Li Kai and the others understood. No wonder the True Martial Sect sought cooperation with their Great Wilderness; it turned out they only had less than a day to prepare.

This area is now outside the territory of the two sects, and it would take at least several days for powerful figures from those sects to arrive.

"How about it? Should our two sects cooperate? We must suppress the formation of that dragon vein, otherwise a True God would be enough to threaten the safety of your Great Wilderness Sect."

"And if we subdue the dragon vein, we will divide the remains of the Heavenly Phoenix True Dragon equally."

"Alright, my Great Wilderness Sect accepts!"

Li Kai readily accepted, for this was an opportunity to both suppress the crisis and seize the chance, so he naturally couldn't let it go.

Ultimately, however, the Heavenly Phoenix and the True Dragon must be divided equally.

The two sects are the dominant forces in the Eastern Heaven Realm, and they absolutely need the tenth-tier skeletons.

However, we cannot fight to the death over a single skeleton, allowing the Heavenly Palace to reap the benefits.

Therefore, the best option is to divide the dragon and phoenix skeletons equally.

"In that case, let's meet early tomorrow morning and venture into the depths of the Wuyin Mountains together."

After the decision was made, the group separated and returned to their respective campsites.

They spent the night without saying a word, and eventually gathered together.

Originally, Li Kai and his companions did not want to bring these prodigies along, after all, they were the future of the sect.

However, where there is opportunity, there are still risks, so I simply let it go.

Perhaps they can even inherit the legacy of the Heavenly Phoenix True Dragon?

As they ventured deeper into Wuyin Mountain, they encountered a woman dressed in plain clothes.

Upon encountering a woman of unknown origin deep in the mountains, they naturally became wary.

Just as they were about to interrogate her about where she came from.

Ling Ruxin, who was in the crowd, sensed something. Her expression changed, and she looked at the woman in white with horror before rushing to her side.

"Junior Nephew Ruxin, what are you doing?!"

Ling Ruxin was very excited, and she stretched out her arms to protect Su Yu behind her.

Seeing this, Cang Xiaolin also quickly came out.

Ling Ruxin shouted loudly:

"Elder Li, she is my good friend, and we come from the same place. Could you please not harm her?"

"From the same place?"

Li Kai was slightly taken aback, his expression unusual. Was he also from the Eastern Xuan Region?

When did so many geniuses appear in the Eastern Xuan Region at the early stage of the Heavenly Venerable Realm?

However, now that they knew where the other party came from, they naturally stopped making things difficult for them.

After all, Ling Ruxin can be considered one of the top geniuses in his Great Wilderness Sect, with a Great Emperor as her backer.

Seeing that the two had lowered their guard, Ling Ruxin finally felt relieved.

She pulled Su Yu aside, her expression excited, and said:

"Senior Sister Qingyi, I never expected to see you here!"

"Senior sister, what brings you to Central Divine Continent?"

"Do you know? Ever since you were taken away by the cult, earth-shattering changes have taken place in the Eastern Xuan Region!"

"What happened to you after you were captured by the cult in the Extreme Cloud Secret Realm last time? Did you escape?"

Upon seeing Su Yu, Ling Ruxin began to chatter on and on, as if she had endless things to say.

"You, you're actually Mu Qingyi?!"

When Cang Xiaolin heard Ling Ruxin's words, his eyes widened as he stared at Su Yu in disbelief.

The plain-looking woman in white before me is actually the white-clad fairy from the Zhan Yue Sect?!

Wasn't she kidnapped by a cult?

"I didn't expect to run into you here either." Su Yu chuckled as she looked at the two emotionally agitated people, then covered her face.

"When I was captured by the cult and taken to the void, I escaped and wandered to the Central Divine Continent until now."

"So that's it..."

What's the current situation in the Eastern Xuan Region?

"You've come to Zhong Shenzhou, so have my junior brother, Ji Ruqing, and the others come as well?"

Ling Ruxin nodded. "Yes, Senior Sister Qingyi, they've arrived too."

"Moreover, they are all in the Eastern Heaven Realm now."
