Chapter 249: The Battle of a Thousand Years (2)

Of course, in order to do this, Lu Yuan would need a huge amount of spiritual stones as support.
Fortunately, he had just finished a big business deal with sect leader, Mu Chen.
One thousand spiritual energy phones would cost 3,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.
It was equivalent to 300 high-grade spiritual stones.
If Lu Yuan wanted to reach the peak of Core Formation Stage in a hundred years, he would need at least one high-grade spiritual stone a day.
Therefore, although 300 high-grade spiritual stones seemed to be a lot, it could only last him for half a year at most.
Fortunately, as long as the spiritual energy phone was sold, Lu Yuan was confident that he could get at least two or three mid-grade spiritual stones from each spiritual energy phone.
Moreover, the market for spiritual energy phones was huge.
Although the Qingyun Sect did not have the least number of people among the five righteous sects, it was not the most either. It could only be considered a mid-range sect.
After he finished developing the Qingyun Sect’s market, he would reach out to the other sects.
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he thought about how his spiritual energy phone sold well and how many spiritual stones he would receive.
Of course, that was if nothing unexpected happened.
With the end of the Immortal Ascension Assembly, Lu Yuan felt that there should not be any new situations in the Lower Realm over the short term.
However, he had no say in such matters.
Who knows when something new would appear and disrupt his plans.
Upper Realm, Spirit Sword Sect.
As one of the three major sects of the Upper Realm, the area of the Spirit Sword Sect was as large as a small world.
Not only were there many ancient arrays guarding the inner sect but there were also countless powerful cultivators hidden in the shadows.
Since the establishment of the Spirit Sword Sect, there had only been two crises.
And these crises eventually strengthen the Spirit Sword Sect.
The current Spirit Sword Sect was considered to be at its peak in the past ten thousand years.
Rare ancient demon clan figures appeared in the sword pavilion of the Spirit Sword Sect.
If Lu Yuan was here at this time, he would discover that there was a very familiar figure among these demon clans.
This person was none other than Meng Ruyan, who had disappeared after entering the Full Moon Mountain Range.
However, Meng Ruyan had already removed her disguise and revealed her true features.
Two silver-white ears were on the top of her head, and three snow-white fox tails were scattered on the seat.
Meng Ruyan was from the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox, a rare Beast of Antiquity in the demon clan.
The status of the nine-tailed fox among the demon clam was comparable to the status of the Spirit Sword Sect among the cultivators of the Upper Realm.
No one knew as for why an ancient demon like her would appear in the Lower Realm and enter the Qingyun Sect.
However, it was obvious that she no longer needed to continue pretending.
Meng Ruyan sat in the front seat of the Demon Clan, smiling as she looked at the wary Spirit Sword Sect cultivators around them.
It doesn’t matter that the sword cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect were known to be the least moved by women, each cultivator still had a difficult expression when facing Meng Ruyan.
It was obvious how charming Meng Ruyan was.
Or rather, it was the power of the nine-tailed fox’s bloodline.
Unless one’s state of mind was extremely profound, or they were a special group of people.
Otherwise, very few cultivators would not be affected by the nine-tailed fox’s bloodline.
Other than their powerful strength, this unique charm was also a very important reason why the Nine-Tailed Fox clan was able to stand tall among the demon clans.
However, unlike ordinary fox demons, the Nine-tailed Silver Fox valued its bloodline very much.
Therefore, within the Nine-tailed Silver Fox, there were very few cases of marriage with outsiders.
Unlike other fox demons whose private lives were very chaotic.
Inside the hall, the fractions between the Spirit Sword Sect and the Demon Clan were clearly divided.
With the appearance of the Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect, Jian Yixin, and several Elders, Meng Ruyan finally began to correct her attitude.
After Jian Yixin appeared, he looked at Elder Nine-Tailed Fox who was sitting beside Meng Ruyan and said expressionlessly, “There’s less than a hundred years left before the thousand-year deadline. Why are you Qingqiu Clan so eager to discuss the distribution of the spiritual mines for the next 1,000 years?”
The Seven-tailed Silver Fox, Xu Ze, smiled and replied, “To be precise, there are only sixty-five years left.”
When Jian Yixin heard this, he said directly, “Alright, since all of you are here, let’s decide the lowest point of this thousand-year battle.”
As he spoke, Jian Yixin threw out a jade plate.
After the jade plate flew out, it began to disintegrate.
Not long after, a huge sea of stars appeared in front of everyone.
And in this sea of stars, each starlight represented a small world.
Lu Yuan’s Moongazer Serpent Realm was among them.
And this place was actually the dividing line between the Spirit Sword Sect and the Demon Clan.
Xu Ze looked at the vast small worlds before him and said, “The location of the last thousand-year battle was chosen by your Spirit Sword Sect. This time, it’s our turn.”
“Of course.” Jian Yixin said calmly.
The so-called thousand-year battle was actually a battle to decide the ownership of the spiritual mines in the Upper Realm between the Demon Clan, or rather, the Qingqiu Clan, and the Spirit Sword Sect.
What Jian Yixin threw out was actually a complete map of the Upper Realm.
The so-called Upper Realm was not a complete continent.
Instead, they were worlds floating above the sea of stars.
However, unlike the Lower Realm, which was located below the sea of stars, the Upper Realm was located above it.
Beyond the sea of stars, it was the legendary land of chaos.
Legend had it that only those who had successfully transcended the tribulation crossing stage had the ability to resist the invasion of chaos and enter the land of chaos.
The mine veins that could attract the attention of Spirit Sword Sect and the Qingqiu Clan were naturally not ordinary.
The source of these mine veins was the land of chaos outside the Upper Realm.
Only in special places like the border between the Demon Realm, the Upper Realm, and the Land of Chaos could produce some chaos spiritual stone that could be used by cultivators.
Compared to ordinary spiritual stones, the biggest characteristic of these spiritual stones was that they contained a portion of chaos energy.
The essence of chaos energy was actually the materialized way of the heavens laws.
According to the characteristics of that part of the land of chaos, the way of the heavens laws of the chaos spiritual stone that were created were also fixed.
For example, the chaos spiritual stone mine that the Spirit Sword Sect and the Qingqiu Clan were fighting for was a chaos spiritual stone with wood attribute.
Although the wood attribute was not widely known to be offensive among the five elements, it had an effect that no cultivator could refuse.
That was, the lifespan of cultivators who cultivated the wood attribute would be greatly increased.
Longevity was something that even Apotheosis Stage cultivators wouldn’t find too much.
An ordinary chaos spiritual stone was equivalent to 100 supreme-grade spiritual stones.
A wood-attribute chaos spiritual stone was comparable to three chaos spiritual stones of other attributes.
It was also because of the special nature of this chaos spiritual mine that the Spirit Sword Sect and the Qingqiu Clan have a gambling match every thousand years.
That’s right, it was a gambling match.
The winner would obtain the mining rights for the chaos spiritual mine for the next thousand years.
The content of the gambling battle was also very simple. It was to choose a Lower Realm as the ‘arena’ and both sides would send out an equal number of heavenly pride from within the sect to fight.
The reason why the Lower Realm was chosen was that the Qingqiu Clan and the Spirit Sword Sect didn’t trust each other.
Both sides were worried that if they chose the arena in the Upper Realm, they might be wiped out by the other party.
After all, there were no cultivation restrictions in the Upper Realm.
However, it was different in the Lower Realm.
Although the cultivators of the Lower Realm could not compare to the cultivators of the Upper Realm.
However, the ways of the heavens in the lower realm were still the same.
The limit for cultivators in the Lower Realm could only be the Apotheosis Stage.
Although Apotheosis Stage cultivators were powerful, for Spirit Sword Sect and the Qingqiu Clan, these cultivators were of no threat to them.
Therefore, setting the arena in the Lower Realm would make both parties give up the idea of secretly attacking the other.
On this point, using the Lower Realm as the arena was a rule agreed upon by both sides.
And this rule had been in operation for tens of thousands of years.
Both sides were already extremely familiar with this.
And they had gathered here this time to choose the next Lower Realm Arena for their battle.
Xu Ze looked at the vast Lower Realms in front of him and finally reached out his hand to tap on one.
“This is it.”
When they saw the chosen Lower Realm, the expressions of two people changed.
One was Meng Ruyan, and the other was… Jing Ming.
This was because the place Xu Ze had chosen was the Moongazer Serpent Realm where Lu Yuan is at..
