A Secret Meeting of the Hundred Spirits Sect's Leaders
Deep within the Hundred Spirits Sect lies a place teeming with Spiritual Qi.
Beneath a towering tree, dozens of feet tall, there was a small wooden table.
Three people with extraordinary bearing sat in front of a small wooden table.
One of them was the Spirit Talisman True Person who had just hosted the Wedding Feast. The other two were a plump middle-aged man in a golden Daoist robe and an elderly man with flowing white hair wearing a Daoist robe with star patterns.
The plump middle-aged man in the golden Daoist robe was named Chen Fu. He was the Acting Sect Leader the Hundred Spirits Sect, with a cultivation level as high as the Golden Core Middle Stage. He inherited the Daoist title of the previous sect leaders of the Hundred Spirits Sect and was named "Hundred Spirits True Person".
As for the white-haired old man, he was Mo Congxin, the Spirit Array Hall Master of the Hundred Spirits Sect, who was stationed in Huai River Market Town all year round and was one of the three Golden Core Spirit Array True Person of the sect.
The rare gathering of the three Golden Core True Person from the Hundred Spirits Sect was entirely due to the upcoming "demon extermination" operation.
Chen Fu, the Hundred Spirits True Person leader of the sect, was the first to speak. "The Centennial Demon Beast Calamity is just over twenty years away. Half a month ago, White Cloud City sent word that our sect needs to send one Golden Core Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and five hundred disciples above the Qi Training Middle Stage Refining to White Cloud City to guard against the Demon Beast of the White Cloud Mountain Range attacking White Cloud Mountain ahead of schedule."
"The task of guarding White Cloud City is quite dangerous. Since your cultivation levels are all only at the Golden Core Initial Stage, it would be safer for me to go."
"Therefore, this time the sect's attempt to seize territory in the Serpent Dragon Lake area depends entirely on Uncle Mo and Junior Brother Wu. If we can occupy another 10,000-mile area in Serpent Dragon Lake as we did eight years ago and establish a new county city, our Hundred Spirits Sect's annual income will increase significantly. This is a good thing for both of us."
White Cloud City is a city jointly built by the five major sects within the Yan Kingdom, located tens of thousands of miles away in the White Cloud Mountain Range. The White Cloud Mountain Range are the largest gathering place of Demon Beast in the Boundless Great Swamp that the Yan Kingdom has to face, with more than five Golden Core Demon Beast in the mountains.
Every year as the period of the Centennial Demon Beast Calamity approaches, the five major sects of the Yan Kingdom will send people to White Cloud City to guard it, in order to prevent the White Cloud City from falling and causing the Demon Beast in the White Cloud Mountain Range to invade the heart of the Yan Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian, Spirit Talisman True Person who had only been Golden Core for a few years, immediately showed a worried expression on his face and said anxiously to Chen Fu and Mo Congxin in front of him.
"Senior Brother Chen, Uncle Mo, are you really confident in launching this Demon Extermination War? If we still want to occupy the territory of ten thousand miles within the Serpent Dragon Lake area as we did eight years ago, it will inevitably cause the two Golden Core Jiaolong from Serpent Dragon Lake to emerge from the Serpent Dragon Lake together."
"The two Golden Core Initial Stage dragons in Serpent Dragon Lake are comparable in strength to ordinary Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators. Eight years ago, the three of us joined forces and only managed to barely repel them with the help of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword Grand Formation. Moreover, Senior Brother Chen, you need to go to White Cloud City this time. This battle will only be between me and Uncle Wu, who is at the Golden Core Third Layer."
Mo Congxin his full head of white hair, smiled and said, "Don't worry. In the final battle eight years ago when we occupied Huai River County, I used the Blazing Sun Heavenly Sword Grand Formation of Huai River City to injure the inner core of the Golden Core Initial Stage Water Flood Dragon dragon in Serpent Dragon Lake. Let alone eight years, even if you give it a hundred years, it might not be able to recover its Dantian injury. Now, that Golden Core Initial Stage Water Flood Dragon's strength is at most only 50%, which is no different from an ordinary Golden Core Initial Stage Demon Beast."
"In this battle, as long as you use the three Early-Stage Golden Core Puppet from the sect to delay the heavily injured Water Flood Dragon, I will definitely be able to recreate the battle from eight years ago. With the help of the Blazing Sun Sky Sword Formation, I will severely injure the other ice dragon. After that, even if we have to wear them down, we can still outlast the two Golden Core dragons and then defeat them."
At this point, Mo Congxin stopped speaking, his expression slightly serious. He looked at Sect Master Chen Fu, and then at the towering tree beside him, which was dozens of feet tall.
"However, don't forget that you promised me that after the matter was accomplished, you would give my grandson the Evergreen Spirit Fruit that this Evergreen Spirit Tree would condense twenty years later, which could help him break through to the Golden Core stage."
Chen Fu's thick double eyelids drooped slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but it disappeared in an instant. Instead, a smile appeared on his face, and he spoke.
"Uncle Mo, please rest assured. Nephew Mo is one of the most outstanding geniuses in our Hundred Spirits Sect. Even without this Demon Extermination War, the Evergreen Spirit Fruit condensed by the Evergreen Spirit Tree twenty years later will still be given to Nephew Mo."
Mo Congxin's grandson is named Mo Qianqiu, and he is one of the Spirit Array Hall Vice Hall Master of the Hundred Spirits Sect.
Mo Qianqiu was exceptionally talented, being Dual Spirit Root Cultivator of earth and wood. Although the attributes of his Spirit Root were mutually exclusive, he learned a special Cultivation Method that resolved the issue of attribute incompatibility, allowing his Spirit Root to complement each other and thus increasing his cultivation speed.
Mo Qianqiu is only over ninety years old, yet he already possesses the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. Moreover, he has deeply inherited the True Disciple of his Ancestor and is a highly skilled Second Grade Middle Rank Array Formation.
Within the Hundred Spirits Sect, Mo Qianqiu was also hailed as "the number one genius in the art of array formations," and was regarded by the Array Formation Master in the Spirit Array Hall as the next Third Rank Array Formation to succeed Mo Congxin.
As for the Evergreen Spirit Tree, it is a Third Rank Middle Grade spirit tree and the sect's treasured Spirit Plant of the Hundred Spirits Sect. This tree can bear the Evergreen Spirit Fruit, which is of great benefit to cultivators.
Evergreen Spirit Fruit that are ten or even several decades old can serve as a Miasma Breaking Pill, helping cultivators break through to the next minor rank.
The Evergreen Spirit Fruit, which is a hundred years old, is also helpful for Foundation Establishment. The Hundred Spirits Water that flows out of the Hundred Spirits Sect is made from this fruit and the juice of several precious Spirit Plant.
This tree can produce Evergreen Spirit Fruit that last for three hundred years. These spiritual fruits can increase a cultivator's chances of breaking through to the Golden Core by 10%. Although the success rate is not high, it is still better than breaking through to the Golden Core stage on its own without any spiritual fruit.
It is precisely because of this tree that the Hundred Spirits Sect has been able to stand firm in the Yan Kingdom for thousands of years.
Mo Congxin had little trust in Chen Fu upon hearing this. He had known Chen Fu for over two hundred years and knew Chen Fu character perfectly well. Chen Fu was a two-faced man, always saying one thing to people and another behind their backs.
Furthermore, he had heard recently that one of Chen Fu's disciples had reached the Foundation Establishment Completion. It was quite possible that the spiritual item that Chen Fu had promised to help him break through to the Golden Core stage would end up in the hands of his disciple who had reached the Foundation Establishment Completion in twenty years.
"I hope so," Mo Congxin said coldly.
On the other side.
After Ling Pengyun left Hundred Spirits Sect with Ling Yunhong on the Immortal Spirit Crane King, he first went to Lingyun Mountain to inform him of the details of Ling Rucong Hundred Spirits Sect the fact that Ling Pengyun would postpone indefinitely taking over his post on the mountain.
In addition, Ling Pengyun also took Little Wind Shadow Peng with him, while the Hundred Flower Bee Swarm and the seven Little Pine Flower Chicken were entrusted to the care of the old man Ling Rucong Ling Pengyun.
After finishing these tasks, Ling Pengyun and his companion set off again.
The Immortal Spirit Crane King was extremely fast, returning from Lingyun Mountain to Lingxiao Mountain in just two days.
Upon returning to Lingxiao Mountain Lingxiao Mountain, Ling Pengyun went straight to his residence there.
In preparation for the Demon Extermination War three months later, he immediately went into seclusion.
Ling Pengyun's purpose in this seclusion was very clear.
Firstly, he devoted himself to comprehending the Sword Formation operation method of the Earthly Fiend Swordplay Secret Technique.
Secondly, he refined the set of twelve First-Tier Superior-Grade Azure Bamboo Sword.
Thirdly, he comprehended the First-Tier Superior-Grade Water Blade Technique.
Cultivation requires a long and continuous process, and results are hard to see in a short time, so Ling Pengyun gave up directly.
Only when he felt mentally exhausted while studying Sword Formation or Law Technique would Ling Pengyun circulate his Cultivation Method to absorb Spiritual Qi and restore his spirit.
Ling Pengyun temporarily abandoned methods such as comprehending the Spirit Plant Secret Method and the art of weapon crafting, which did not improve his strength.
As for the matter of replacing Ling Rucong to guard Lingyun Mountain, it can only be postponed indefinitely.
