Jiang Liu was completely unaware of the various factions' secret schemes and plans, and had no interest in learning more about them.
After all, their life-and-death struggle had nothing to do with him.
He now only wants to raise his strength to the Peak Grandmaster as soon as possible, and the first hurdle to overcome in order to improve his strength is to strengthen his body.
However, there is now a problem: using the Star Cloud Saint Art to draw upon the Star Power for body strengthening and tempering requires as many people as possible to gather together.
Now, Jiang Liu can only use the Star Power to strengthen his body. Jiang Liu tried it himself and found that the progress was indeed a bit slow.
That forced Jiang Liu to find another way.
Actually, the method is very simple, because there are only five people in Yuncheng who are currently cultivating the Star Cloud Saint Art and drawing on the Star Power to strengthen their bodies, including Jiang Liu.
Now, it's obvious that the other four are definitely gathered together cultivating.
Tang Wanyu, Chen Xiaoyun, Elder Liuxing, and Elder Yun Yue are the four people.
Therefore, Jiang Liu only needs to go to the Flowing Cloud Sect's residence at night and cultivate with them.
After Jiang Liu finished circulating the Saintly Sky Art once, he got up to wash up and then walked towards the side hall, as it was lunchtime.
After Jiang Liu, Murong Yin, Feng Yue, Cuier, Xiao He finished their lunch, Cuier and Xiao He withdrew.
Jiang Liu looked at Murong Yin and Feng Yue and said, "I have something to tell you."
When Murong Yin and Feng Yue heard Jiang Liu say this, their faces immediately tensed up. Jiang Liu had only been back for two days, was he going on another long trip?
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going on a long trip. I'm just going to the Flowing Cloud Sect's base in Yuncheng for a short time to cultivate," Jiang Liu quickly explained when he saw the two women's nervous expressions.
Murong Yin and Feng Yue were relieved to hear Jiang Liu say that.
Jiang Liu then explained to the two women that they would be cultivating together at the Flowing Cloud Sect's residence that evening.
After listening, Murong Yin and Feng Yue didn't say much, since Jiang Liu was doing this to quickly improve his strength.
Moreover, the environment in Daqian is becoming increasingly chaotic. If Jiang Liu's strength is insufficient to suppress it, the current peaceful situation in Yunzhou will soon be shattered.
It's important to know that not only Jiang Liu, but also the others have been intensifying their training during this period, hoping to further improve their strength.
When the battle takes place, even if they can't help Jiang Liu fight, at least they won't hold Jiang Liu back.
It should be noted that Murong Yin is only at the Lesser Grandmaster Realm, while Feng Yue's strength is even lower, having just entered the Ninth Rank.
Feng Yue still needs to hone his skills for a long time at the ninth rank before he can possibly enter the Grandmaster Realm.
To advance from the Subordinate Ninth Rank to the Grandmaster Realm, one must unify the five elements in terms of vital energy and then solidify it. In terms of mental power, one must open up the sea of Divine Sense and evolve consciousness into Divine Sense.
Feng Yue has not yet completed the cultivation of the Five Elements, so there is still a long way to go in her cultivation journey.
That evening, Jiang Liu went alone to the Flowing Cloud Sect's residence in Yuncheng.
As he had guessed, inside the camp, there was a significantly enlarged cultivation plaza where four people were sitting cross-legged, preparing to use the Star Cloud Saint Art to draw upon the Star Power to strengthen their bodies.
Tang Wanyu looked up and saw Jiang Liu, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Jiang Liu greeted Elder Liuxing, Elder Yun Yue, and his two senior sisters, Tang Wanyu and Chen Xiaoyun, and then sat down cross-legged.
Everyone smiled and nodded at Jiang Liu. After all, the more people there were, the more Star Power they could draw down. So they were very happy to welcome Jiang Liu's arrival.
Then everyone began to practice the Star Cloud Saint Art here, drawing on the Star Power to strengthen and temper their bodies.
In the early hours of the following day, as the moon sank and the stars dimmed.
After a night of cultivation, the five of them felt that their progress in strengthening their bodies was faster than before.
Jiang Liu nodded to everyone, then immediately used his movement technique to head out of the camp.
He planned to stay at the Listening Wind Pavilion residence for a while, since Jiang Liu had previously lived there, but he moved there after the mansion by the mountain was renovated.
After Tang Wanyu finished her practice, she was about to greet Jiang Liu when Jiang Liu suddenly disappeared, which made her so angry that she stomped her feet.
From that night on, Jiang Liu would come here to cultivate together every night, and return to his residence at the Listening Wind Pavilion during the day to continue cultivating.
Xun Province, Gan County, is a temporary base allocated to the Daoist sect by the Lotus Sect's alliance of forces.
At this moment, the three Vice Sect Leader of the Daoist sect, Dao Xing, Dao Sheng, Dao Hai, are sitting cross-legged together, analyzing the current situation in Xun Province.
The martial arts of the contemporary Daoist sect can be described as quite powerful. Not to mention that they have already advanced to the Peak Grandmaster, even Dao Fan Shangren, who has just left the Daoist sect.
Even including the sect leader, there are five Grandmaster: the sect leader Dao Yan, and four Vice Sect Leader Dao Sheng, Dao Xing, Dao Sheng, and Dao Hai.
Moreover, these people are all fellow disciples of the same master, so they have always had a very good relationship.
Therefore, although Buddhism has always been stronger than Daoism, it does not dare to bully Daoism too much.
After all, who knows if Dao Fan, Peak Grandmaster, would stand up for the Daoist sect?
It is unknown whether it is because the current generation of disciples is too powerful that the next generation of the Daoist sect has not yet been able to advance to the rank of Grandmaster.
Even Qing Xuanzi, who was previously hailed as a genius of the Daoist sect, was still hovering at the gates of the Grandmaster level, unable to advance for a long time.
This is also the biggest dilemma facing Daoism today: a lack of successors.
That's why the Daoist community has always been worried about this, since the older generation is gradually getting old.
If no one in the next generation can uphold the Daoist sect, then the Daoist sect will soon be swallowed up by other sects.
At the very least, the Buddhist sect, which shares the same state as the Daoist sect, has always harbored ill intentions towards the Daoist sect.
The Daoist sect has always taken it upon itself to slay demons and eliminate evil, and it deeply abhors evil sects in the Jianghu.
Therefore, among all the Jianghu forces in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Daoist sect can be said to have the most enemies.
In particular, there have always been many bloody conflicts between those unorthodox sects and the Daoist sects.
The reason why the Daoist sect has allied with the Lotus Sect is to eradicate the Ghost School, and they have even sent three Grandmaster to do so.
It can be said that the Daoist sect can tolerate anything in order to eradicate evil, even if they know that the Lotus Sect and Corpse Valley may be colluding.
Moreover, they also knew that the White Saint Society, which was now in the alliance, was also colluding with Corpse Valley. However, after seeing the tragic situation caused by Ghost School in Xun Province, the Daoist sect still did not choose to withdraw from the alliance.
Furthermore, the Daoist sect's desire to deal with the Ghost School is not solely based on its own mission; it also stems from its own personal grudges.
