Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 120 The Eye of the Storm!

Unlike most other forces, the headquarters of the Glazed Tile Sect is not located on a sacred mountain or a giant city, but in a deep abyss of red rock formations.

According to rumors, this abyss crevice has a top-tier third-order spiritual vein with abundant spiritual energy.

However, many years ago, this place was similar to the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountains, a forbidden zone for human cultivators. The bottom of the abyss was inhabited by terrifying dark creatures, and even ordinary True Core cultivators dared not explore it easily, let alone occupy it.

In the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, perhaps only the Azure Nether Sword Sect and the Nine Heavens Thunder Palace had the ability to occupy and purify this abyss back then.

However, it was clearly not worth the two major sects paying such a price for a third-tier spiritual vein, especially one that was filled with dark attributes.

In the end, no one expected that this abyss would be suppressed by Xuanxin Zhenren, the most legendary sect leader in the history of the Glazed Tile School, all by himself.

All the dark creatures were killed, and the airtight, dark environment was also 'imprisoned' by Xuanxin Zhenren using some unknown means or treasure, leaving only a small area.

Most other areas became very suitable for cultivators to practice.

Once that small restricted area was brought under control, it became an excellent place for training disciples.

Especially for cultivators who want to hone their spiritual techniques, this remaining dark area is like a 'sacred place'.

If one can stay in it for a longer period of time and completely adapt to the darkness, walking in it will be no different from being in a normal environment, and one's soul will be greatly enhanced!

So later on, the Glazed Tile Sect simply relocated the entire sect, leaving its original location and coming to this abyss.

That small, dark area in the abyss became a unique 'holy land' for the Glazed Tile School.

Legend has it that hidden within this sacred land are some treasures and legacies left behind by the True Man Xuanxin. Over the years, they have not been fully unearthed and are still waiting for the right person.

of course.

This is just a rumor, and whether it is true or not is probably unknown to anyone except the higher-ups of the Glazed Tile School.

but.

One thing is certain.

That is, if you want to become a true disciple of the Glazed Tile School and learn the school's secret techniques, you must pass the test of the 'Dark Land'!

If you fail to pass, no matter how high your talent is, even if you have a Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude, you will not be able to become a true disciple!
However, if one can perform exceptionally well in the Dark Land and obtain a rare opportunity, even if one's talent is average and one does not become a true disciple, one's future achievements will be limitless!

The most typical example of this is Li Hanfeng, one of the four Core Formation True Persons of the Xuanbing Hall.

Li Hanfeng only has a second-grade spiritual root, which is only considered decent in the Liuli Sect, which is full of geniuses, but he is not qualified to compete for a true disciple.

In fact it is.

Li Hanfeng's performance during the Foundation Establishment stage was unremarkable, and he failed to compete for the position of a true disciple.

However, his final achievement surpassed that of all the true disciples of his generation. He was the first to successfully form his core and become a true core cultivator.

Moreover, the quality of the Core Formation is very high, and the cultivation strength increases rapidly after Core Formation.

Rumor has it that although Li Hanfeng is the least senior and youngest among the four Core Formation True Persons of the Glazed Tile Sect, his strength ranks second only to the current sect leader of the Glazed Tile Sect.

This day.

The Glazed Tile School welcomed a special guest.

It was Xiao Wanqiu, a newly promoted True Core cultivator from the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

After arriving at the Glazed Tile Sect, Xiao Wanqiu didn't beat around the bush and directly stated that she wanted to visit the sect's 'Dark Secret Realm' to see the relics left by True Person Xuanxin and see if she could gain any insights or opportunities.

While ordinary cultivators might not know, Xiao Wanqiu was quite aware that the rumors about True Person Xuanxin were indeed true.

The dark holy land within the abyss of the Liuli Sect was transformed into a place resembling a secret realm by Xuanxin Zhenren using inconceivable methods, which is indeed of great benefit to cultivators skilled in spiritual cultivation.

There is indeed a chance to obtain some opportunities left behind by the True Man Xuanxin.

"Since Fellow Daoist Xiao knows about my sect's secret realm, he should also know that this secret realm is not open to the public. Therefore, Fellow Daoist Xiao will have to disappoint you and make a wasted trip."

An elder from the Glazed Tile Sect who had just reached the Core Formation stage also refused outright, leaving no room for negotiation and issuing a stern refusal.

No matter whether it's Xiao Wanqiu or other True Core cultivators from the Myriad Elephants Chamber of Commerce, the Glazed Tile Sect will not compromise on this matter.

This concerns the principles and dignity of the sect. Although the Myriad Elephants Chamber of Commerce is powerful, it cannot make the Glazed Tile Sect submit to them or even grovel before them!
At worst, the Glazed Tile School can simply stop purchasing supplies from the Myriad Elephants Merchant Guild after the falling out.

In any case, after nearly ten years of war, the Glazed Tile School and the Mysterious Weapon Hall have found that neither side can defeat the other, and they will only wear each other down and suffer heavy losses.

Perhaps we can resolve our conflicts through peaceful and mutually beneficial means.

The two sides have been negotiating for the past six months.

Once an agreement is reached, the war will officially end.

The Glazed Tile School no longer needs to purchase massive amounts of supplies from the Myriad Elephant Merchant Guild.

Xiao Wanqiu was not angry upon hearing this, and still had a confident smile on her face: "I think there is still a chance for this matter to turn around. Perhaps the Glazed Tile School can reconsider."

The elder of the Glazed Tile Sect sneered: "What, Fellow Daoist Xiao, do you intend to use your power to intimidate us and force our Glazed Tile Sect to submit by invoking the name of the Myriad Manifestations Chamber of Commerce? Sorry, although the Myriad Manifestations Chamber of Commerce has a large business and extensive connections, you don't need to consider yourselves a Nascent Soul level force! Moreover, you are not even a Nascent Soul force in the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom!"

"No, no, no." Xiao Wanqiu shook her head and said, "Elder Wu, you misunderstand. I have never thought of using the name of the Myriad Elephants Chamber of Commerce to coerce the Glazed Tile Sect, nor would I dare to have such a thought... I am here to make a deal with the Glazed Tile Sect!"

Elder Wu frowned slightly and said coldly, "A deal? What deal? Tell me about it."

Elder Wu was not actually interested in the deal Xiao Wanqiu mentioned; he did not believe that Xiao Wanqiu could offer conditions that would make the Glazed Tile School break its principles.

"Regarding the inheritance of True Immortal Huanxin... I wonder if Elder Wu and the Glazed Tile Sect are interested?" Xiao Wanqiu said with a smile.

Elder Wu chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please leave!"

It wasn't that he wasn't interested in the inheritance of the strongest sect leader in the history of the Glazed Tile School, but rather that he believed the other party was simply talking nonsense and fabricating lies in order to gain access to their sect's secret realm.

Although several of the treasures belonging to the Illusion Heart Sect Master were scattered outside, most of his legacy had already been backed up within the Glazed Tile Sect!
This is something that every sect leader has done.

"Elder Wu, there's no need to rush me away. You can listen to me finish before making a judgment," Xiao Wanqiu said earnestly.

Elder Wu was running out of patience and said impatiently, "Fine, I'll listen to Fellow Daoist Xiao say a few more words."

Xiao Wanqiu stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "The Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture is your sect's most treasured secret technique, which you would never pass on to outsiders, right?"

Elder Wu nodded and said, "So what if it is? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xiao is trying to say that someone outside has been found to be cultivating the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture?"

Xiao Wanqiu nodded solemnly and said, "That's right! Not only has this person cultivated the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture, but it is also extremely authentic and his attainments are very profound! He has already formed a perfect two-colored glazed tower in his sea of ​​consciousness, and its power is approaching that of a False Core Immortal!"

Elder Wu remained unconcerned, waving his hand and saying, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, there's no need for such mystification. Let's get to the point. For example, who exactly has cultivated our sect's Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture?"

He naturally didn't believe it. Over the years, in the entire cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, apart from the disciples of the Glazed Tile Sect, no one had ever been found to cultivate the Five-Colored Glazed Tile Soul Refining Scripture.

The Glazed Tile School has never had a traitor in all these years.

If someone outside has cultivated the Five-Colored Soul Refining Scripture, obtained the authentic inheritance, and even cultivated to the point of condensing a perfect two-colored glazed pagoda, would Xiao Wanqiu still need to discover it?
Their mortal enemy, the Xuanbing Hall, had already found the person at all costs!

Why is the Xuanbing Hall now willing to wage war against the Liuli Sect at all costs? It's because they obtained the treasure of the Xuanxin Sect Master, but are struggling to open it because they don't have the Five-Colored Liuli Soul Refining Scripture.

"If I tell the Glazed Tile Sect exactly who cultivated the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture, then the Glazed Tile Sect must agree to let me go to the secret realm for training, how about it?"

Xiao Wanqiu began to state her conditions, then added, "Of course. I can't just make things up and say any random name. It has to be confirmed by your Glazed Tile Sect that this person has indeed cultivated the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture."

Elder Wu frowned, looking at Xiao Wanqiu with some doubt, scrutinizing her closely.

Why is this woman so confident?

Does this really seem like nonsense?
"Alright. Fellow Daoist Xiao, tell us what you think. If we confirm afterward that someone has indeed cultivated the Five-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture and obtained the inheritance of Sect Master Xuanxin, then our Glazed Sect will make an exception and allow Fellow Daoist Xiao to enter the secret realm," Elder Wu promised.

Now it was Xiao Wanqiu's turn to put on airs. She shook her head and said, "Elder Wu, your one-sided statement is not enough. This matter requires a personal promise from your sect leader before I can speak on it."

Xiao Wanqiu was also putting on airs, which made Elder Wu feel increasingly uneasy.

After much hesitation, he finally decided to take the gamble and went to inform his sect leader.

What if this is true?
After all, Xiao Wanqiu, as a Core Formation True Person of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, really had no reason to deliberately make fun of him.

……

half a month later.

Upon receiving the news, Su Beifeng, the sect leader of the Glazed Tile School, rushed back from the front lines of the battlefield.

During this period, he personally went to the front line, naturally to negotiate with the Xuanbing Hall and discuss how to cooperate and how to distribute the benefits in the future if the war ended in peace.

Upon receiving Elder Wu's message that a true successor of the Xuanxin Sect Master had appeared, Su Beifeng did not hesitate to temporarily set aside the many high-ranking members of the Xuanbing Hall and return to his sect.

Upon meeting Xiao Wanqiu, Su Beifeng did not hesitate for long and, as Xiao Wanqiu requested, the two made a vow.

"Alright, Master Xiao, you can tell me now, who exactly received the inheritance of my Sect Master Xuanxin?" Su Beifeng said with a sharp look in his eyes.

If what Xiao Wanqiu said is true, then he will naturally keep his promise and let Xiao Wanqiu go to the sect's secret realm for training. He will also be very grateful to her, as the entire Liuli Sect owes her a favor.

But if Xiao Wanqiu is just playing along and teasing him, then even if this woman is a high-ranking member of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, he will definitely demand an explanation!

Xiao Wanqiu remained calm and said, "Sect Leader Su may not recognize this person, but many people in the Glazed Tile Sect should have heard of his name. He is Lin Changyue, a genius talisman master from the Lin family, a Foundation Establishment family under the Xuanbing Hall!"

Wow!
Upon hearing this, Su Beifeng frowned slightly, wondering who this person was.

Elder Wu's eyes widened in disbelief: "Lin Changyue, I've heard of this man's reputation. He does indeed have secrets, and I heard he even defeated you, Fellow Daoist Xiao, a few years ago. But to say that he obtained the inheritance of the Xuanxin Sect Master is simply too far-fetched."

Xiao Wanqiu smiled and said, "I have my reasons for saying that..."

Then, Xiao Wanqiu recounted her feelings when she fought Lin Changyue back then, as well as what she had investigated during her return to the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom.

Yes.

When Xiao Wanqiu returned this time, she did not go directly to the Liuli Sect to inquire about Lin Changyue's whereabouts, but instead conducted her own investigation in secret first.

She originally thought that Lin Changyue should have already joined the Liuli Sect, or was already a disciple of the Liuli Sect.

However, the investigation revealed that Lin Changyue and even the Lin family had no connection whatsoever with the Liuli Sect.

That's why she speculated and suspected that Lin Changyue had received the inheritance of Xuanxin Zhenren.

Furthermore, considering Lin Changyue's sudden rise to power, despite having no sect, no lineage, and no inheritance, yet being able to overpower her who was severely injured at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, the possibility becomes even greater!
After listening to Xiao Wanqiu's account and speculation, Su Beifeng and Elder Wu both fell silent.

It must be admitted that if what Xiao Wanqiu said is true, then Lin Changyue's sea of ​​consciousness really does contain a perfect two-colored glazed pagoda, and with his early Foundation Establishment cultivation, he possesses a soul strength comparable to a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator, and he severely injured Xiao Wanqiu before she formed her Core...

Then.

There is at least a 90% chance that Lin Changyue has received the inheritance of Master Xuanxin!

"call……"

After a long pause, Su Beifeng took a deep breath. During his contemplation, he had considered countless possibilities and solutions. He then said, "Please keep this matter a secret for now, Fellow Daoist Xiao. We need to infiltrate the Xuanbing Hall territory first to investigate this Lin Changyue and confirm whether this matter is true or false. If it is true, then upon my return, I will invite Fellow Daoist Xiao to enter the sect's secret realm as soon as possible."

Xiao Wanqiu nodded: "Okay."

Afterwards, Xiao Wanqiu was seen off.

Without waiting a moment, Su Beifeng immediately led Elder Wu and the two True Core cultivators straight to the territory of the Xuanbing Hall.

They didn't care what would happen if they were discovered.

They have to find out the truth!
……

at the same time.

Within the territory of Xuanbing Hall.

Li Tianjun, the Core Formation Elder of the Nine Heavens Thunder Control Hall, was actually conducting a large-scale investigation within the Xuanbing Hall sect under a false identity.

He discovered some incorrect clues and concluded that the person who opened the treasure of the Wind and Thunder True Man was likely a true disciple of the Xuanbing Hall!
This person was also extremely arrogant and directly tried to arrest this true disciple for interrogation, but was discovered by the True Core cultivator, Master Bailian, from the Xuanbing Hall.

After a fierce battle, Li Tianjun was surrounded by two True Core cultivators from the Xuanbing Hall.

Li Tianjun was in the wrong and couldn't use the name of the Nine Heavens Thunder Palace to intimidate others, so he had no choice but to lower his head and apologize, making up a reason that he was avenging his disciple, believing that his disciple had died within the territory of the Xuanbing Palace, so he was investigating the murderer.

Xuanbing Hall did not want to make a big fuss about this, after all, the other party came from a Nascent Soul sect.

After the two sides shook hands and made peace, and talked things out, Li Tianjun took the opportunity to openly 'investigate' and asked the Xuanbing Hall for help.

After several investigations, Li Tianjun was cleared of suspicion as a true disciple of the Xuanbing Hall.

However, by a twist of fate, their target fell on Lin Changyue, who had become famous in recent years, and they prepared to find out what was going on.

Master Bailian has been keeping a close eye on Li Tianjun in recent years.

Upon hearing that Li Tianjun had set his sights on Lin Changyue, Master Bailian sensed something was amiss and followed him.

After all, Lin Changyue was a third-tier talisman master seed and could be considered 'half' a member of the Xuanbing Hall. He couldn't be allowed to smear or slander Li Tianjun at will.
