Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Zhao Yu's brow slightly furrowed as he fell into contemplation.

The Ling family was the weakest among the five great Foundation Establishment families, yet the Ling family's treasury possessed a stockpile of demon beast inner pills. One could imagine the depth of resources held by the other Foundation Establishment families.

The Wang family of Spirit Creek had allied with the Yingu Sect and must have gained tremendous benefits. They had probably already obtained several Foundation Establishment Pills. Without a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from their side, the four great families' attack on the Wang family of Spirit Creek would likely end in failure.

Ling Qianxue smiled beautifully and said, "Sister Xian Jiao, the Cang Spirit Sect has already agreed to send two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to lead our forces! With the Cultivators from the Cang Spirit Sect, along with the joint effort of our four great families, the Wang family of Spirit Creek is doomed this time!"

"The Wang family of Spirit Creek is the number one Foundation Establishment family in Cang Country, and inside, there may even be top-level cultivation techniques, possibly even Golden Core Level Techniques!"

Zhao Yu's heart finally stirred slightly.

In the Northern Wilderness, Golden Core Techniques were extremely rare, firmly controlled by the four great sects, and ordinary Foundation Establishment families could not possess them. The Ling family's cultivation techniques could at most reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage and then advance no further.

Zhao Yu said, "Then I will go with you!"

Two days later, Qianming Building on the fifth floor of the Market in Fangling County, Cang Country.

"Qian Xue, who is this fellow Daoist?"

As Zhao Yu and Ling Qianxue stepped onto the fifth floor of the Qianming Building, a young cultivator with the Seventh Level of Qi Refining, dressed in a blue robe, tall and handsome, came up enthusiastically, looked at Zhao Yu next to her, his expression tightened, and he said cautiously.

Cultivators from the other three great Foundation Establishment families on the fifth floor also looked over curiously.

Ling Qianxue smiled beautifully and said, "This is Zhao Yu, my Brother Yu! Brother Yu, this is Hu Baihui of the Hu family in Fangling."

Hu Baihui's face stiffened slightly, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, and he said in a rather stiff tone, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, hello!"

Zhao Yu responded politely, "Fellow Daoist Hu, hello!"

Ling Qianxue, the direct daughter of the Changyang Ling family, possessed a superior Spirit Root, was sexy, extraordinarily beautiful, warm and outgoing, with wide social connections, naturally having innumerable admirers.

Zhao Yu felt several hostile glances coming from the cultivators on the fifth floor.

Ling Qianxue and Zhao Yu confidently took their seats. Ling Qianxue introduced Zhao Yu to the other three great Foundation Establishment family cultivators and introduced each of them to Zhao Yu.

Each of the other three great Foundation Establishment families had a Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator leading the team, while only the Changyang Ling family had Ling Qianxue, who had recently advanced to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, leading the team, appearing weaker in comparison.

The young male cultivators from the three great Foundation Establishment families subtly ostracized Zhao Yu, and the young female cultivators were also quite curious as to why the normally haughty Ling Qianxue would choose a Loose Cultivator like Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu's cultivation at the Seventh Level of Qi Refining was among the top in the world of Loose Cultivators, but it was not considered top-tier within the Foundation Establishment families.

Before long, the venue suddenly fell silent. Zhao Yu looked towards the entrance of the staircase and saw the impressive Su Bingyun and another tall, handsome, and scholarly-looking Foundation Establishment male cultivator walking in.

"Greetings, seniors!"

All the cultivators on the fifth floor stood up and bowed deeply to Su Bingyun and the other Foundation Establishment male cultivator.

As soon as Su Bingyun reached the floor, her sharp gaze fell on Zhao Yu and Ling Qianxue beside him.

Ling Qianxue, keenly aware, slightly raised the corners of her lips, glanced at Zhao Yu, and lowered her head.

Zhao Yu felt Su Bingyun's gaze like a sharp arrow piercing through him; he was on pins and needles for quite a while before he managed to calm down.

Su Bingyun and the Foundation Establishment male cultivator sat down in the main seat under everyone's watchful eyes.

The Foundation Establishment male cultivator said indifferently, "Sit!"

Only then did the cultivators from the four great families sit down.

The Foundation Establishment male cultivator said, "I am Ning Canghan from the Cang Ling Sect, and this is my junior sister, Su Bingyun. We are here on orders to lead the charge against the Lingxi Wang family."

After a brief introduction, Ning Canghan began to issue a series of commands.

Su Bingyun sat quietly to one side, not uttering a single word.

Before long, everyone had dispersed, gathering their subordinates and heading to the Market Square.

In the Market Square, seven hundred-zhang long Spirit Boats were moored, and the cultivators from the four great Foundation Establishment families boarded the seven Spirit Boats.

A flash of Spiritual Light, and the seven Spirit Boats flew into the sky.

"This is what it's like to ride a Spirit Boat, truly an incredible experience!"

Zhao Yu stood on the deck of a Spirit Boat, feeling very stable. The entire Spirit Boat was enveloped in a powerful barrier that resisted the fierce winds as it flew.

Most Qi Refinement Realm cultivators couldn't use flying spells, and there were very few Magic Artifacts that could carry people. Spirit Boats were even owned only by the four great sects. This was Zhao Yu's first time riding a Spirit Boat in this world, and he found it very novel.

Ling Qianxue stood beside Zhao Yu, and the pair looked like a couple of immortal lovers.

The seven Spirit Boats quickly flew over the mountains of the Lingxi region.

At that moment, a Second Order Great Array had already been deployed in the wolf ridge of Lingxi, which was shrouded in thick fog.

Ning Canghan stood on the Spirit Boat, looking down at the dense fog below with a confident expression, "The array deployed by the Lingxi Wang family is a mid-grade Second Order Thousand Trees Formation Array! This array integrates with the terrain, with ten Second-Order Spirit Woods at its core, continuously generating Spiritual Energy.

Even False Core cultivators would struggle to break through it if they attacked forcefully. However, the Lingxi Wang family does not have a Second Order Array Master; the array is stiffly assembled and full of flaws. You only need to follow orders to break this array effortlessly."

Under Ning Canghan's command, the seven Spirit Boats split up, and beams of light shone as they bombarded the wolf ridge below.

Chapter Discover:

Under the assault of the seven beams, the Second Order Thousand Trees Formation Array expanded. Beams of sparkling light shone from the First Order Spirit Woods, with ten Second Order Spirit Woods at its core and a thousand First Order Spirit Woods as its foundation, forming a pale green barrier that resisted the bombardment of the seven beams of Spiritual Power.

Inside wolf ridge, every Wang family cultivator watching the seven Spirit Boats in the sky was covered in a gloomy shadow.

An old man with white hair and beard, burly and vigorous, and quite scholarly furrowed his brows and said, "Xiongli, how long can the Thousand Trees Formation Array last?"

Wang Xiongli said, "Family Head, with our Wang family's stockpile of Spirit Stones, judging by their intensity of attack, our family's grand array can hold for six months!"

Wang Xiongyan slowly said, "Six months is enough! The Cang Ling Sect cannot afford to waste so many cultivators here. As long as we can persevere for six months, the Cang Ling Sect is finished! The Yin Ghost Sect will surely achieve final victory!"

Wang Xiongli fell silent.

The Wang family had already invested too much. Two Foundation Establishment cultivators had died at the hands of the Cang Ling Sect, and the Cang Ling Sect had likewise lost two great Foundation Establishment cultivators. Both sides bore deep-seated hatred and there was no possibility of reconciliation.

Only if the Yin Ghost Sect emerged victorious could the Wang family's efforts be rewarded, allowing them to once again become the foremost Foundation Establishment family in Cang Country, or perhaps even more.
