The Lineage's Preparations

Having understood the Old Ancestor's meaning, Yang Tianyou nodded in agreement without hesitation.

In his view, the Old Ancestor had sacrificed too much for the Lineage over the past hundred years, and now that the Lineage was powerful, it was worth taking a risk for the Old Ancestor.

Moreover, for Lineage, Middle Vehicle Golden Core and Lower Vehicle Golden Core are two completely different concepts. The former has a greater chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul, which will propel the Lineage to a higher level.

Now that we've decided to go to the Fierce Ghost Cave, the next step is to determine the timing and action plan.

After discussion, Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou decided that six months later, they would lead their clansmen into the Fierce Ghost Cave.

Over the next six months, the Yang Household will utilize all available resources to prepare for the various dangers lurking within the Fierce Ghost Cave.

For example, targeted Talisman, Law Artifacts, and Formations; healing Pills; and a large number of Forbidden Artifacts, such as the Thunderfire Urn-Gold Bomb.

It's a bit of a pity that the God-Slaying Crossbow requires Soul-Gathering Stones to be successfully forged. Otherwise, the Old Ancestor could have forged four or five God-Slaying Crossbows. If they were fired together, even False Core expert would probably be severely injured instantly, or even die directly.

In addition to preparing these materials, there was also the mobilization of personnel.

Nowadays, all the Foundation Establishment elders in the Yang Household are performing their respective duties, and any reassignment requires advance planning.

The Fierce Ghost Cave is not a safe place after all. We must prepare for the worst. Otherwise, if an elder were to fall, the department he was in charge of might fall into chaos.

Preparing in advance can greatly reduce the risk of losses.

In addition, Yang Tianyou himself also needs time. His Great White Blade Intent is on the verge of a breakthrough. It is estimated that he will be able to break through to the Minor Accomplishment Blade Intent in three months to half a year.

The minor achievement of the [Intent Realm] Minor Achievement provides a far greater boost to one's strength than the previous entry-level level.

The decision was made by the two highest-ranking members of the Lineage, and the other elders had no objections. After all, the facts of the past few years had proven that listening to the Old Ancestor and the Inheritance Elders was always the right thing to do.

After consulting with the elders, the list of Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Yang Household to fight against the Fierce Ghost Cave was finalized.

They are Yang Dangmo, Yang Tianwang, Yang Tianxue, Yang Tiankang, Yang Tianshi, and Yang Lihe, plus Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou.

Within six months, these elders must properly arrange the departments under their management to prevent chaos in the Lineage order should any unforeseen circumstances arise.

With the other six elders reassigned, the Yang Household is severely short-handed in terms of Foundation Establishment personnel stationed at Purple Moon Mountain and Bianhe Mountain.

After much deliberation, Yang Haoyu decided to give the remaining two Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pills to the family head Yang Dangkai and the head of the External Affairs Hall Yang Qiongye, and also to provide each of them with a Foundation Establishment Pill to help them break through to the Foundation Establishment, in order to make up for the Lineage's lack of manpower.

The Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill can even regenerate severed limbs; its key lies in its incredibly rich life force.

This kind of Pills can even completely replace the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, given the vast difference in cost-effectiveness between the two, it would be somewhat wasteful for young and middle-aged cultivators to use the Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

However, for Yang Qiongye and Yang Dangkai, both over seventy years old, the Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill could temporarily restore their bodies to a youthful state.

Although the duration is short, with the addition of a Foundation Establishment Pill, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm should be a piece of cake.

Both of them were cultivators who had wasted more than ten or twenty years at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. After obtaining the Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill, they quickly went into seclusion.

Half a month later, as two Spiritual Qi Vortex soared into the sky, the Yang Household gained two more Foundation Establishment.

With these two mature and prudent elders guarding the Lineage, Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou were finally able to put their minds at ease.

In recent years, the Purple Moon Wolf Clan has also made progress, gaining two more Tier 2 Purple Moon Wolves and expanding its size.

Including the four Purple Moon Wolves Fengling from before, the Yang Household now has seven Tier 2 Purple Moon Wolves.

Of the seven Purple Moon Wolves, the Wolf Ancestor will stay behind to guard the Lineage, Fengling will travel with Yang Tianyou, two of the remaining five Tier 2 Purple Moon Wolves will participate in the expedition to the Fierce Ghost Cave, and the remaining three will guard Purple Moon Mountain and Bianhe Mountain respectively.

There's no need to worry too much about Purple Moon Mountain. The Yang Household has set up countless measures here, and with Wolf Ancestor, a combat power equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, guarding the area, it's practically foolproof.

As for Bianhe Mountain, they need to put in more effort, since that small Spirit Stone Vein cannot be lost.

In view of this, Yang Haoyu sent Yang Qiongye, Yang Qiongchuan, and two Tier 2 Purple Moon Wolves to guard Bianhe Mountain, and also transferred another Second-Tier Upper-Grade Formation Disc to Yang Qiongye to strengthen the defense of Bianhe Mountain.

After these deployments were completed, the Yang Household began to collect various resources on a large scale, especially materials for Talisman Crafting and Artifact Refining.

These were all prepared for Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou. The more Forbidden Artifacts and Talisman they refined, the less the Yang Household would suffer losses in the battle against the Fierce Ghost Cave.

Another half month passed, and in the Wolf Den, a high-pitched, clear sound, like the cry of Phoenix Cry, rang out.

A beautiful bird, its wings outstretched like an ice crystal Phoenix, trailing a magnificent ice-blue tail, flew from afar and gracefully landed on the Fengling's head.

Ruoqing successfully breaks through to the Tier 2 level, and feels the sudden surge of pure Spiritual Power in his Dantian, Yang Tianyou smiles.

Ruoqing you had signed the [Great Unity Demon-Spirit Pact] with him when you were still at the First-Tier Superior-Grade, you would naturally receive some feedback now that you have broken through to the Foundation Establishment.

Although it wasn't much, it was still equivalent to Yang Tianyou's month of arduous training.

"Brother Fengling, I can talk now!"

Suddenly, a clear, melodious voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate, rang out. Yang Tianyou turned his head and saw that it was Ruoqing.

After breaking through to the Tier 2, his control over Demon Power became perfect enough that he could now produce accurate sounds by vibrating his Demon Power.

"Awoo..." Fengling replied happily.

Then the two Spirit Beasts chatted excitedly. Yang Tianyou and Yuan Ba exchanged a glance, then silently turned and left.

Ruoqing breaks through, Yang Tianyou will be able to focus on his secluded cultivation.

Inside the stone chamber, the Clear-Spirit Incense burned slowly, releasing a pale blue smoke that soothed the mind.

This time, however, he did not cultivate Spiritual Power, but focused on breaking through the Blade Intent.

Dao Comprehension Space, within the Blade Prison!

On the Desolation and boundless plain, wisps of Blade Intent soared into the sky. The Ocean of swords, composed of hundreds of millions of precious blades, shocked everyone who saw it for the first time, leaving them speechless for a long time.

Clang!!

A sharp clang of metal clashing echoed from afar, reverberating across the plains. A young man wielding a golden longsword was battling three flying swords of various shapes.

Ding ding!

Sparks flew and the Blade Intent hummed, yet within this space, the Blade Intent, capable of cutting through gold and jade, only spread a short distance before gradually dissipating.

Click!!

Veins bulged on Yang Tianyou's forehead as he held his Twin Blades horizontally in front of him, desperately blocking the direct strikes from the two heavy swords. Behind him, the Starlight swirled and danced, colliding with a pale red throwing knife time and time again.

The battle continued, and after an unknown amount of time, the three precious swords were shattered one by one, transforming into pure, incomparably beautiful streams of Blade Intent that were absorbed by Yang Tianyou.
