A Sexagenary Cycle Flew By (9)
Purple Moon Mountain, Great White Residence.
Yang Tianyou looked at the battle report sent back from the Chaotic Sea in his hand, his expression calm as still water.
All told, the war in the Spirit-Suppressing Sea Region has been going on for three years.
In the Leling Archipelago, the Yang Household initially made rapid advances, but due to their overwhelming numerical disadvantage, they gradually found themselves in a rather awkward situation: after capturing the Islands, they were not necessarily able to hold them.
As the surrendered party, the Lin Household can act as the vanguard to attack other forces, but they cannot be used to defend the Island.
As a result, the Yang Household had no choice but to slow down their attack and proceed cautiously, relying on increasing reinforcements from the rear to gradually occupy the Leling Archipelago.
"It seems this gentleman's battle isn't going to end anytime soon!" Yang Tianyou muttered to himself.
It is called a gentleman's war because the bloody war that was originally expected did not happen at all, or rather, the intensity of the war did not reach the expected level.
Yang Tianyou underestimated the Lineage's current power; Madam Red Butterfly was extremely cautious when facing the Yang Household.
Even if they occasionally launch a counterattack, seize an Island occupied by the Yang Household, and capture Yang Household Members, they will be treated to good food and drink.
When the time is right, exchange prisoners with the Yang Household.
This mode of warfare can certainly be described as gentlemanly.
This was vastly different from the devastating wars that took place in other parts of the Spirit-Suppressing Sea Region.
"He's quite a clever person!" Yang Tianyou chuckled and shook his head.
They have a clear understanding of the situation, know how to preserve their strength, and avoid offending people unnecessarily.
If it's not intelligence, then what is it?
"If a fight doesn't happen, then there's no fight. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities once the Interface War begins."
"I've accumulated enough Primordial Power; it's time to transform the second treasure land!" Yang Tianyou stood up, his figure shifting into starlight as he drifted away.
The next moment, he arrived at the Legacy Grounds Hall.
Of the Yang Household's Nine Great Legacy Grounds, Yang Tianyou only used his Primordial Power to complete the transformation of Heavenly Water Cave.
The remaining eight prime locations have not yet been developed.
"Nineteenth Uncle!" A beautiful and charming figure came into view; it was Yang Xuanyun, who had already reached the Late Golden Core.
She cultivates Cultivation Method with the attribute of ice and cold, often receives instruction from Yunhua, and has the advantage of being the Legacy Grounds Hall, which allows her to use a large amount of quota every month.
With all three combined, Yang Xuanyun not only reached the Late Golden Core in terms of cultivation, but her combat strength was also comparable to that of Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator, making her quite extraordinary.
"Open the entrance to Tribulation Clouds Mountain!" Yang Tianyou said with a light laugh.
Yang Xuanyun nodded slightly, her jade finger pointing to a certain spot. Instantly, Thunder roared in her ears, and a vortex appeared. In the distance, a towering mountain shrouded in black Tribulation Clouds could be vaguely seen.
This is Tribulation Clouds Mountain, one of the Nine Great Legacy Grounds of the Yang Household. It is especially suitable for thunder attribute cultivators to comprehend the Dao and cultivate. There are also some clansmen who pursue Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body, or who simply pursue the path of Body Cultivator, who come here to temper their bodies.
The Thunder of Tribulation Clouds Mountain is relatively mild. After being refined by the Formation, it is not as violent as the Thunder of heaven and earth, making it perfect for body tempering.
"Nineteenth Uncle, please come in!" Yang Xuanyun said with a gentle gesture and a smile.
Yang Tianyou nodded slightly and stepped into the vortex.
Upon entering Tribulation Clouds Mountain, he went straight to the source of the treasure land, and with a flick of his right hand, the Creation Brush appeared in his palm.
With a flick of the brush, strands of dark purple Primordial Power shot out like Thunder Dragons, disappearing into the sphere of lightning before him.
This thing is the source of the treasure land of Tribulation Clouds Mountain. What Yang Tianyou needs to do is to optimize and upgrade this source with the Primordial Power.
Simply put, it means upgrading the grade of the treasure land's origin, allowing it to enhance its comprehension, accelerate the effects of cultivation, and become more prominent.
As time passed, the entire Tribulation Clouds Mountain trembled violently, and the Thunder Daoist aura in the entire space nearly doubled in intensity.
The conversion rate of lightning-attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has also increased significantly.
The clansmen who were sitting cross-legged on Tribulation Clouds Mountain, comprehending the Dao of Thunder, suddenly felt that their comprehension had increased by several times, and their speed in refining the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi also seemed to have increased considerably.
"What's going on? Why is the auxiliary cultivation effect of Tribulation Clouds Mountain so much better?" a clansman asked, puzzled.
Some clansmen guessed what was going on. "A similar thing happened in Heavenly Water Cave a few years ago, the protective effects of the treasure land suddenly increased dramatically and have continued until now. I didn't expect it to happen to Tribulation Clouds Mountain today."
"The Lineage's scale is truly impressive. Such a significant enhancement of the treasure land's auxiliary effects must require a massive amount of resources, right?" This was the speculation of a clansman who was quite familiar with the treasure land's structure.
Regardless of the thoughts of his people, Yang Tianyou looked at the lightning sphere before him, its color now several degrees deeper, and nodded in satisfaction.
But then he gave a bitter laugh, "The Primordial Power I've accumulated over three years is all used up again!"
The speed at which Primordial Power is accumulated is completely different from the speed at which it can be used.
I've painstakingly saved up for three years, but if I were to use it, it would be gone in just a few days.
"I can only improve my cultivation level as soon as possible. The higher my cultivation level, the faster the Creation Space can refine the Primordial Power," Yang Tianyou thought to himself.
However, once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, the speed of cultivation inevitably slows down.
At the Golden Core Realm, Yang Tianyou advanced one minor realm every thirty years on average, but after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, he estimated that it would take him at least fifty years to advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
This is because he is Half-Saint Body, has a high level of understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and has an abundance of various Cultivation Resources.
It's no wonder that ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators take three or four hundred years, or even longer, to advance one level in cultivation, and it's not uncommon for some cultivators to be stuck at a bottleneck their entire lives.
The speed at which I can improve my cultivation is simply too slow.
Take Yang Tianyou for example; just honing his Law Power took him a lot of time.
However, this step is indispensable; otherwise, one's control over Law Power will be insufficient, resulting in a sharp decline in combat strength and creating obstacles when breaking through realms.
"At this rate, when will I ever catch up to Madam's level?" Yang Tianyou sighed inwardly.
Yunhua possesses the Taiyin Saint Body, so her cultivation speed is naturally faster than Yang Tianyou's. Moreover, her physique allows her to refine her Law Power on its own, saving her a great deal of time.
Based on this calculation, it will take Yunhua about thirty years to advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
It has been 21 years since Yunhua broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, which means that she will be able to advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in about ten years.
Yang Tianyou will remain at the Nascent Soul Early Stage for another thirty or forty years.
