Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 286 The Fall of Xiaoyao! A Successor Has Arrived! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Black Flame Sparrow, what brings you here?"

"Naturally, we'll activate the Heaven-Sealing Array to completely isolate this imprisoned area, preparing for the 'Blood Feast,' ensuring that once inside, there will be no escape."

Black Flame Sparrow said, "It seems the Tree King has some connection with that human, and is trying to delay me?"

"Unfortunately, he can't escape!"

Before he finished speaking, he spread his wings and transformed into a streak of crimson-black light, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

"Alas, it's all about timing and fate," the ancient locust tree king sighed softly.

"Save him, Tree King, I beg you to save him." Xu Bai struggled with difficulty but could not get up, tears streaming down his face.

The ancient locust tree king's clone casually flicked out a green light, which entered his body and slowly healed his injuries.

"Tiger King, this is his fate!"

"Just like the people on this land, they cannot escape the fate of being devoured!"

Having received treatment from the clone of the Ancient Locust Tree King, Xu Bai had regained some strength to speak, but dared not say, "No, Xiaoyao is the first Golden Core cultivator in the Xu family, he cannot die!"

"For the sake of your friendship with Uncle Xu Chuan, save him."

The ancient locust tree king shook his head. "Saving you was already my limit."

"Roar!"

Xu Bai let out a deafening roar, his voice filled with sorrow, resentment, and pain!

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

At the edge of the "Qinghai Forest", Ren Xiaoyao was caught up by the Black Flame Sparrow.

As he watched the setting sun, its brilliant rays illuminated his features, yet offered no warmth whatsoever.

A shadow that blotted out the sky descended, and the acrid smell of burning red and black flames filled the air. The Black Flame Sparrow's two heads hovered in mid-air, its four pairs of fierce eyes locked onto him.

Ren Xiaoyao knew he couldn't escape!

"I wonder how my grandfather and the others are doing over there. They must be doing well. If they knew I had reached the Core Formation stage, they would be happy for me."

Unfortunately, it was all for nothing that the family had poured into it.

"I'm so sorry, Master!"

"And Rong'er, I can't go back."

"This is the first and last time I've broken a promise. You'll forgive me, won't you?"

A hint of tenderness, a hint of reluctance, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Then he looked at the black flame bird that blotted out the sky, watching its claws, wreathed in black flames, reach out to grab him.

Reluctant to fade away, yet determined to rise again.

Ren Xiaoyao's golden core spiritual power surged wildly throughout his body, and his meridians swelled as if they were about to burst.

"You beast! You want to devour my golden core? Then let's perish together!"

With a loud shout, golden light surged forth!

Ren Xiaoyao's body exploded with a roar, and the immense spiritual power from the shattered golden core swept out like a tsunami, with the crimson-gold shockwave crashing into the Black Flame Sparrow.

The deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, leveling the vegetation on the edge of the Qinghai Forest.

The Black Flame Sparrow let out a miserable cry as its wings were torn apart by spiritual power. Most of its black flames dissipated, its feathers turned charred and flew everywhere, and its ferocious power diminished sharply.

It shook its drowsy head, its ferocity growing even stronger.

"Damn it! It self-destructed!"

Then he remembered the white tiger, flapped his wings, and was about to turn back to find Xu Bai to vent his anger.

At this time, Xu Bai was taken to the Ancient Locust Tree King's territory for recuperation.

The commotion from the self-destruction couldn't be hidden from them.

Tears welled up in Xu Bai's eyes again. He tilted his head back and let out a deafening tiger roar, his eyes filled with ferocity and hatred.

"Don't forget why Xu Chuan went to such lengths to have you oversee this place."

"Ren Xiaoyao left because he didn't want you to get involved anymore and ruin the Xu family's plans!"

at the same time.

Dongxi.

Xu Derong stroked her lower abdomen and said softly, "Baby, it's been more than three months. Your father should be back soon."

He has never broken a promise to me.

I will definitely be able to see you born.

Xu Chongkai, who rarely stayed by Xu Derong's side, asked, "Mother, is Father really confident that he can successfully break through to the Golden Core stage?"

“That’s for sure!” Xu Derong looked up at Xu Chongkai and said, “Your father has never failed to keep his word.”

"By the way, Kai'er, would you like a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Xu Chongkai smiled wryly and said, "Mother, I'm not a child anymore. Besides, I already have two children of my own."

"Brothers and sisters are not the same as children."

I think either is fine.

“Anything is fine.” Xu Mingyuan walked over from a distance.

"Father, what brings you here?" Xu Derong asked.

“Grandfather,” Xu Chongkai said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly. "I came to see you. If Xiaoyao comes back and finds out you're pregnant again, he'll probably be even happier than if he himself had successfully formed his core."

Just as Xu Derong was about to say something, she suddenly felt a tightness in her heart, as if something was leaving her.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just felt a sudden pang in my heart."

at this time.

Dongxi, the life-giving lamp tower of the Guangling Mountains.

Ren Xiaoyao's life lamp suddenly went out.

As one of the Xu family's veteran top fighters, he is definitely a core member of the Xu family.

His life lamp went out, and it exploded in the hearts of the disciples guarding the life lamp tower like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

"Elder Xiaoyao has fallen?!"

"How can it be!!!"

The disciple's face turned pale, and he immediately took out several communication talismans to send messages to the family head, the eldest elder, and other important figures.

A communication talisman flew swiftly to Xu Mingyuan's side.

Xu Mingyuan pointed a finger at it, and a sound immediately rang out from the surroundings.

[Elder, Elder Xiaoyao's life lamp has fallen!]

This news struck the three of them like a bolt from the blue!
"That's impossible!" Xu Mingyuan's first reaction was disbelief.

Xu Derong's expression froze slightly, and she stood there as if time had stood still.

Xu Chongkai murmured in disbelief, "Grandfather, this can't be true, can it? Breaking through to the Golden Core stage is dangerous, but at most one would be injured, not die."

Without saying a word, Xu Mingyuan flew towards the Mingdeng Tower.

Xu Derong snapped out of her daze and immediately followed with Xu Chongkai.

While in the air, several streaks of light were also seen flying by.

It is Xu Chonghui, Xu Mingxuan, Xu Mingshu, and Xu Mingqing.

"Second Brother." Xu Mingxuan looked at Xu Mingyuan with a solemn expression.

Xu Mingyuan remained silent, his aura as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

They arrived at the Lamp of Fate in the blink of an eye, and then saw Ren Xiaoyao's extinguished Lamp of Fate, their faces filled with disbelief.

Xu Derong was so angry that she felt dizzy, but fortunately Xu Chongkai supported her.

Xu Mingxuan looked at Xu Mingshu and said, "Check if Xu Bai is alright?"

"Third Brother, the distance is too far. We only have a weak connection with each other, and it is difficult to clearly sense each other's condition."

"Elder, should we send someone to the 'Qinghai Forest'?" Xu Chonghui said.

Xu Mingyuan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "None of them are allowed to go."

"The beast that could cause Xiaoyao's demise must not be from the 'Qinghai Forest'. He was in seclusion in the Yunjin Mountains. Unless he could get past Xu Bai's interception, no one could touch him."

With Xiaoyao gone, Xu Bai was most likely also seriously injured, but since Ming Shu's mental connection with him was still intact, it meant he was alright.

We can only wait!
Once everything is over!
Xu Bai will naturally return to report and inform him of everything.

Before this, Chonghui, you issued an order that all family members are strictly forbidden from going to the "Qinghai Forest" during this period, and the same applies to the Guangling branch!

"Yes, Elder." Xu Chonghui clasped his hands and left.

"Father, I'm going to find my husband!" Xu Derong cried, her heart filled with sorrow.

"Chong Kai, take your mother back. Keep an eye on her during this time. Even Xu Bai, who is at the mid-stage of the third rank, can't stop her. Even if we sacrifice the entire Xu family, it will be useless!"

"I understand, Grandfather!"

Xu Chongkai knew the seriousness of the matter, and although he was in great pain, he gritted his teeth and endured it, saying to Xu Derong, "Mother, let's go back and wait for news."

Everyone left, and in the blink of an eye, only Xu Mingyuan and a few other second-generation members of the Xu family remained.

Xu Mingyuan closed his eyes, and the atmosphere around him was incredibly heavy.

When he opened his eyes again, his face was completely red, and he murmured, "Ah, carefree!"

He loved and valued Ren Xiaoyao more than his own children.

Xu Mingshu and the others also looked sad.

"Second brother, please accept my condolences. With eldest brother gone, the Xu family still needs you to take charge!"

“I understand.” Xu Mingyuan’s voice trembled slightly, “but I just hate myself for not being able to stand up and not let him go to the ‘Qinghai Forest’.”

My father had clearly warned me that there might be danger.

"Danger doesn't mean you'll encounter it. Just like you might choke to death while eating or choke to death while drinking water, does that mean you should never eat or drink?"

Xiaoyao went to the Yunjin Mountains in order to maximize his chances of successfully breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Second brother, you can't stop him!
If it were me, or Ming Shu, wanting to break through to the Golden Core stage, we might make the same choice as Xiao Yao!

"Qinghai Forest".

Black Flame Sparrow was severely injured by Ren Xiaoyao's self-destruction and, in a fit of rage, went to cause trouble for Xu Bai.

But they were stopped by the ancient locust tree king.

He even fought back, but was whipped away by a branch of the ancient locust tree king, spitting out another mouthful of black blood.

The Black Flame Sparrow calmed down and dared not cause any more trouble in the territory of the Ancient Locust Tree King.

He left in anger, continuing with his purpose—to activate the Heaven-Sealing Array!
When Ren Xiaoyao successfully formed his core, Xu Chuan, who was far away in Yunxi Town in Tiannan, sensed an anomaly in the family genealogy and only after checking did he realize that it was Ren Xiaoyao who had formed his core.

Xu Chuan smiled slightly.

"Xiaoyao has indeed lived up to expectations, and can continue to serve as the face of the Xu family's fighting force!"

Initially, only three members of the Xu family reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Ren Xiaoyao was the first to publicly reveal his achievements, becoming the face of the Xu family and supporting it.

However, it took less than half an hour.

The family genealogy was altered again, and even cries of sorrow were heard.

"how come?!"

Xu Chuan's expression changed drastically.

The information about Ren Xiaoyao on the family genealogy turned gray, and the note added the words "deceased".

The more Golden Core cultivators a family has, the better their family fortune will be. However, the death of a Golden Core cultivator will also greatly affect the family fortune, which is why the family genealogy records this lament.

If it were an ordinary Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment disciple who died, it probably wouldn't have been like this.

In other ordinary Golden Core families, the fall and decline of a Golden Core ancestor is the most normal thing, and may even lead to the destruction of the family.

Xu Chuan looked sorrowful and immediately began to examine Xiaoyao's life story.

Only the life squares of the deceased can be viewed.

A wisp of Xu Chuan's divine consciousness entered the family genealogy and entered a peculiar space, which became Ren Xiaoyao's life.

He experienced everything from birth to death.

It was as if the family genealogy had captured his time and placed it here.

Xu Chuan was like a passerby in this world, unable to touch or change anything.

He skipped straight to the end.

Seeing his joy at breaking through to the Golden Core stage, feeling his sincere desire to repay the Xu family, and then disaster struck.

He was severely injured, but Xu Bai fought desperately to hold him off and allowed him to escape.

They were finally caught up at the border of "Qinghai Forest".

He heard Ren Xiaoyao's final farewell and felt his helplessness, regret, reluctance, unwillingness, and final resolve.

Xu Chuan's heart was filled with killing intent as he looked at the Black Flame Sparrow and said, "Ten Thousand Mountains, Two-Headed Black Flame Demon Sparrow, my Xu family will remember this debt!"

One day, I will surely tear your soul apart and refine your spirit!

After that, he withdrew from this unique space in Ren Xiaoyao's life.

A moment later, Xu Chuan used the family genealogy to bring Xu Mingyuan, Xu Mingwei, Xu Mingxuan, and Xu Deling into the "Xu Clan's Grotto Heaven".

Xu Mingwei was away and did not know about this immediately.

At this moment, just like Xu Mingxian and Xu Deling, it was the first time they had heard of it, and their hearts were heavy.

“Father, you know,” Xu Mingyuan said.

"I know more details than you do. Xiaoyao successfully formed his core, but was severely injured by a peak third-tier double-headed black flame demon sparrow that came from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Xu Bai was probably also severely injured."

In the end, Xiaoyao made him pay the price by self-destructing his golden core.

These were his last words.

Xu Chuan recreated the final scene of Xiaoyao, moving everyone present.

"Father, Xiaoyao has always been a good son of the Xu family. We cannot let this grudge go unavenged!" Xu Mingshu's voice was filled with anger and excitement.

"That's natural. If it dares to appear during the great calamity, we will kill it. If it doesn't, it will still face death when my Xu family settles the Ten Thousand Mountains!"

Then, Xu Chuan said, "Mingyuan, you acted very calmly, and I am very pleased. If we had gone there rashly, even if it had been severely damaged by Xiaoyao's self-destruction, my Xu family would still not have been able to defeat it."

"I'll leave the matter over there to you."

"Yes, father."

After Xu Mingyuan and the others finished speaking, they each withdrew from "Xu Clan Cave Heaven".

Guangling County.

Because the headquarters of the Immortal Martial Alliance is located here, this place has become incredibly prosperous, comparable to the imperial city.

Inside a horse-drawn carriage.

Seeing Xu Mingwei's sudden somber expression, Yang Ronghua asked with concern, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Bai Jing also looked at him.

Xu Mingwei forced a smile and said, "It's nothing."

"Tell the truth!" Bai Jing said, "Your mind isn't as cunning as Ming Yuan's. You can't hide it from him. Just tell me, has something happened to your family?"

"Mother, your child."

"If you won't tell us, then let's head back."

"I understand, son." Xu Mingwei sighed softly, "It is Xiaoyao who has perished."

Bai Jing and Yang Ronghua both changed color.

Bai Jing thought someone had come to cause trouble for the Xu family, but she never expected it to be this.

She closed her eyes, then opened them again, revealing a sorrowful expression. "When I first met Xiaoyao, I knew he was a sensible and good child. I never expected him to leave us so suddenly."

Why is this happening? Doesn't he possess the strength of a fully established Foundation Establishment cultivator, making him a top-tier expert among cultivators?

"Mother, this matter is complicated, please don't ask any more questions."

"That's enough." Bai Jing waved her hand, not pressing for details, and said, "Life and death are of utmost importance. Go back and send Xiaoyao off on his final journey."

Xu Mingwei didn't dare mention that Ren Xiaoyao's body had been destroyed in the self-destruction. They got off the carriage, and Xu Mingwei released the magic boat, which carried the two back to Dongxi.

The coachman was startled. "Why would a celestial master who can fly ride in a carriage to experience the life of a mortal?"

"The immortal master really knows how to have fun."

One day later.

The Black Flame Sparrow then left the "Azure Sea Forest" and went to other places to activate the Heaven-Sealing Array.

Half a month later.

The prison had become a true cage.

Even if the Tree King wanted to let people leave, no one below the Nascent Soul stage could escape the Heaven-Sealing Formation.

After recovering from his injuries, Xu Bai returned to Dongxi.

He informed the Xu family of the Black Flame Sparrow's identity, strength, and the situation in the prison.

These were all things that the ancient locust tree king told him.

They also brought back Ren Xiaoyao's shattered Five Spirits Box.

These are his only remaining belongings!

After that, Xu Bai returned to the Yunjin Mountains.

Xu Bai is now officially the Tiger King of the "Qinghai Forest," so it's not good for him to be absent for long.

However, Xu Ying was summoned back from the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Although it is not as good as Xu Bai, it is now close to the peak of the early stage of the third rank.

Equivalent to a cultivator at the third level of the Golden Core stage.

However, he has a mutated bloodline and dual talents in lightning and fire, making his attack power and speed extremely terrifying. His strength is not much weaker than Xu Bai's.

The Xu family built a cenotaph for Ren Xiaoyao in the Memorial Park for people to worship.

In the following days.

News came from the capital that Lei Yunchao had successfully formed his Golden Core, becoming the second Golden Core cultivator in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Soon after, an invitation was sent to the Xu family in Dongxi, inviting Xu Mingyuan to attend the Lei family's Golden Elixir Ceremony.

Xu Mingyuan was not in the mood, but the Xu family could not be left without someone going.

Ultimately, it was Xu Mingxuan who went.

The fact that Ren Xiaoyao had perished could not be kept secret, not because the Xu family leaked it, but because there was also a life lamp of his within the Immortal Martial Alliance.

The elders of the Immortal Martial Alliance inquired about the reason for his death.

The Xu family's explanation was that he had attempted to break through to the Golden Core stage but unfortunately perished.

At the Lei family's Golden Core Ceremony, many people were discussing this matter and comparing the Xu family and the Lei family.

"Xu Chuan, the former Grand Elder of the Immortal Martial Alliance, is currently in seclusion, and Ren Xiaoyao, the Grand Elder of the Guangling branch, has passed away. It seems that the once-glorious Xu family is also on the decline."

"Yes, if a Golden Core cultivator is not produced for a long time, relying solely on demonic beasts will eventually be unable to suppress the ever-growing Immortal Martial Alliance."

"It's possible that one day a powerful family might seize control and usurp the Immortal Martial Alliance's sovereignty."

Xu Mingxuan listened to these idle gossips without paying any attention.

In the face of demonic and monster calamities, only those who survive are the winners!

Lei Hekong walked over, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Fellow Daoist Mingxuan, I heard the tragic news of the passing of the Grand Elder of your Xu family's Guangling branch. Please accept my condolences."

Xu Mingxuan returned the greeting with a fist salute and said calmly, "We were prepared long ago that if we couldn't overcome the hurdle of Core Formation, we would eventually turn into dust after more than a hundred years."

"Indeed, I only have a little over forty years of life left, and I haven't even reached the peak of Foundation Establishment yet, so there's no hope at all."

"But you, Fellow Daoist Mingxuan, are still not even a hundred years old, yet you have a good chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm."

Xu Mingxuan smiled and said, "By the way, I haven't yet congratulated your Lei family on the birth of a Golden Core cultivator. From now on, you won't have to be mindful of the Cao family's feelings anymore."

"In the end, its foundation is still lacking."

"You can accumulate it gradually!"

At the Golden Elixir Ceremony.

Golden Core cultivators from the Cao, Sima, and Liu families descended to offer their congratulations.

The four Golden Core cultivators discussed the Dao and exchanged their insights.

The Golden Elixir Ceremony lasted for a full day and night before it finally ended.

On his way back, Xu Mingxuan was ambushed by three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and two peak Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Fortunately, Xu Mingxuan was powerful, possessing top-tier offensive and defensive magical artifacts, and had cultivated the Nine Flames Technique to the seventh flame level, which was enough to barely withstand the attack.

Finally, he self-destructed a high-quality magical artifact, and took advantage of the aftershocks of the explosion to escape in a top-tier magical boat.

Someone witnessed the battle and spread the news.

This immediately caused a strong reaction in the Great Wei and the Immortal Martial Alliance.

Everyone is saying that this is the Cao family testing the Xu family, to see if Xu Chuan will emerge from seclusion after his son's death.

Back then, Xu Chuan used his third-tier dragon spirit pet, blood corpse, and ghost king soul banner to intimidate the Cao family's palace and shock the world.

Now, more than twenty years later, as he has retreated into the background, he has gradually been forgotten.

There are even rumors that Xu Chuan has died.

Cao naturally didn't believe it, which is why she took action to test the waters.

Others may forget, but the Cao family will not forget Xu Chuan's strength and the power of his trump cards.

Even Liu Qiankun, the current number one expert in the three regions and a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, is not confident of victory, let alone the Cao family patriarch.

These are just minor incidents.

The Cao family didn't dare to really deal with the Xu family, so they vehemently denied the sneak attack.

The Xu family holds supreme power within the Immortal Martial Alliance and can mobilize all the forces within the alliance, making them far more powerful than the Cao family alone.

However, the Cao family is now unable to command the various clans that control half of the country.

The established rules of the past have long since fallen apart, with each prefecture's aristocratic families becoming independent and self-governing, and the title of royal family no longer befitting its status.

The Cao family didn't care at all.

This is in stark contrast to the orderly situation on the other side of the Immortal Martial Alliance.

A few months later.

Ren Xiaoyao's posthumous son was born and named Xu Chongjian.

Xu Chuan sensed something and learned about it after looking at the family genealogy information.

Xu Chongjian: The Fourth Generation of the Xu Family

Age: 1

[Spiritual Root, Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root Purity 6.4)]

[Talent: None]

[Physique: Born with sword-like bones]

[Bloodline: Top-tier Rank 8 Spirit Water Bloodline]

[Realm: None]

[Note: Born with a sword-bone physique, possessing extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, they comprehend sword techniques and skills more easily than magic.]

"Born with the spirit of a swordsman, Xiaoyao, you have a worthy successor."

Xu Chuan smiled slightly and bestowed upon him the [Sword Heart Clarity] destiny talent, helping him go further in the path of the sword in the future.

That night.

Xu Chuan pulled Xu Mingyuan into the "Xu Clan's Grotto-Heaven" and said to him, "This child, Chongjian, has extraordinary talent in swordsmanship. He has a natural sword bone and a clear sword heart."

"The carefree spirit has a successor."

Xu Mingyuan was delighted to hear this, as it was good news recently.

"Is what Father said true?"

"Why would I lie to you? You can probably guess that I have a way of knowing the talents and aptitudes of the Xu family's descendants."

"Besides his talent for swordsmanship, Chongjian also possesses the aptitude of an earth-elemental root, with a purity significantly higher than Xiaoyao's, reaching 64%."

"Since the father knows everything, what's the best way for this child to go in the future?"

"While cultivating, he also comprehends a large number of sword techniques and manuals, allowing him to understand the sword, create his own sword style, and walk the path of the sword."

"Studying a large number of sword techniques and sword manuals? Wouldn't that be too much of a waste of time?"

Xu Chuan chuckled and said, "Mingyuan, don't treat sword geniuses the same as ordinary people. Those who are born with sword bones and clear sword hearts can cultivate swordsmanship at a speed dozens of times faster than ordinary people."

Their keen insight into the art of swordsmanship is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Such geniuses only need guidance; they will find their own path, just like Jingwu.

"I understand, Father."

South of the sky.

During this year, Xu Chuan made great progress in comprehending the concept of decay and prosperity, and the second form of his supernatural power was already taking shape.

It must be said that those who have reached the Core Formation stage of supernatural powers find it much easier to comprehend this core supernatural power.

In addition to comprehending the withering and flourishing divine power, Xu Chuan also comprehended the wood-type defensive divine power in the "Five Elements Creation Scripture", which is called "Jia Wood Mysterious Spirit Battle Armor".

It can condense the Armor of Wood, a relatively rare defensive divine power.

It is likely that apart from Nascent Soul factions, few Golden Core families would possess such supernatural abilities.

He comprehended this supernatural power quite quickly, and has now reached the 40% entry level. Xu Chuan himself knows that this is mostly due to the principle of "Heaven rewards diligence".

There's also the "Mysterious Heaven Refining God Technique," which I'm currently cultivating the first level of, and I've already entered the basics.

However, Xu Chuan is at the Golden Core stage, so to be of any use to him, one would at least need to cultivate to the second level.

He also passed on this method to six people, including family geniuses such as Xu Deling, Xu Deyue, and Ye Fan, as well as important family members such as Xu Dezhao and Xu Chonghui.

Currently, most ordinary family members do not receive this instruction.

Furthermore, because Xu Deling and Ren Xiaoyao achieved the formation of their cores, many of the metal and fire-related supernatural powers in the "Five Elements Creation Scripture" were supplemented.

He passed on the "Heavenly Flame Battle Armor Divine Power" to Xu Deling; as for offensive divine powers, she had no shortage of them.

The single-system techniques in the Foundation Building chapter of the "Five Elements Creation Scripture" have all been given to Dongxi so that Xu Mingwei and the others can switch to this path.

After all, each of them is a top-tier foundation-building technique.

From then on, this became the standard procedure for the Xu family disciples' cultivation.

If you don't tell anyone what kind of cultivation method you practice, no one will know.

Most cultivation families also collect a lot of cultivation techniques to give their members a variety of choices for cultivation.

In addition to the cultivation techniques, Xu Chuan was also practicing the secret art of divine sense when he cultivated these supernatural abilities.

If mastered, it would undoubtedly be a powerful trump card, enhancing his ability to fight beyond his level.

Ye Fan, Xu Deling, and Xu Mingxian are all making steady progress.

What Xu Chuan cared about most was the teleportation array that Xu Mingxian had comprehended. According to Xu Mingxian's own estimate, it would take at least several more years.

The teleportation array is difficult to comprehend, involving some spatial principles and difficult deductions. Even a third-tier high-grade array master may not be able to comprehend the teleportation array.

Otherwise, why wouldn't the Tiancang Sect have set up a teleportation array?

If we can establish a presence in the seven cities, we can strengthen our control over them, which will make many things much easier.

As for Xu Deling, he also cultivated himself, comprehended supernatural powers, and honed his weapon-forging skills.

His supernatural abilities have improved slightly, and his weapon-refining skills have reached the point where he can refine two-pattern magic weapons, and even high-quality two-pattern magic weapons with two auxiliary patterns.

More than a year has passed.

The renovation of Fire Cloud Valley and the initial construction of the Heavenly Feather Sect have been completed.

It covers an area of ​​only a dozen miles. In front of the mountain gate is a wide bluestone platform, on which stand two ten-foot-tall fire phoenix statues with outstretched wings, lifelike.

The sect's buildings were built according to the mountain's terrain, arranged in a staggered yet orderly manner without appearing cluttered.

The Elders' Residence is located at the convergence of spiritual veins and consists of three independent courtyards: "Lieyang Courtyard", "Tianyang Study", and "Yanzhen Pavilion".

Foundation Establishment disciples also establish their cave dwellings near the spiritual veins, while Qi Refining disciples live in rows of seven-story buildings on the open land to the west, numbering in the several.

In addition, there are weapon-refining rooms, located inside the mountain. These rooms were originally the cave dwelling of Master Huoyun and have been converted into twelve weapon-refining rooms.

There are three fighting platforms, arranged in a triangular shape on the southwest side of the valley.

On the southeast side stands a nine-story cultivation tower, modeled after the cultivation tower of the Xu family in Yunxifang. The level of spiritual energy increases as the tower grows taller.

In addition, there is the sect's main hall, which faces south.

This should be the most magnificent main hall of the Tianling Sect at present.

As for the grand formation, it was set up by Xu Mingxian. It was a mid-grade third-order grand formation that combined spiritual energy gathering and defense, and it took him a lot of effort to set it up.

However, this matter did not spread because Xu Chuan told Lieyang Zhenjun not to spread it.

When True Lord Lieyang learned of Xu Mingxian's mastery of array formations, he was deeply shocked. This was an unparalleled genius in array formations who was in no way inferior to Xu Deling, and perhaps even more outstanding!
The Ceremony for Establishing a Clan.

The Heavenly Feather Sect invited all the Golden Core forces of the Heavenly Cang Prefecture to witness this event.

This is a branch of the Heavenly Forging Sect, a major sect in weapon crafting!
With the Blazing Sun True Lord at the peak of the Golden Core stage in charge, plus the Flame True Lord at the late Golden Core stage who can refine top-tier magic treasures, and the Melting Heaven Sun at the mid-Golden Core stage.

Although the Tianling Sect is a newly established sect, it can be considered a top-tier Golden Core power, far superior to the three major sects.

Not to mention his weapon-refining skills, which are so impressive that all the Golden Core cultivators in the entire Tiancang Prefecture fawn over him.

If an ordinary Golden Core cultivator refines a natal magic weapon, and it is only a low-grade magic weapon when it is first refined, even if it is nurtured to the point of Golden Core perfection, it will probably only have the power of a mid-grade magic weapon.

If one stays at the Golden Core stage for a longer period, one may be able to reach the level of a high-grade magic weapon.

As for top-tier magic treasures, they can only be nurtured by those at least in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, this only happens when the initial natal magic weapon is too crude.

However, if a master craftsman were to forge a mid-grade magic weapon, even if it were not refined into a natal magic weapon, its power would already be immense when used normally.

If it is refined into a natal magic weapon, it can be continuously nurtured and strengthened.

The strongest weapon refiner in Tiancang Prefecture could only refine mid-grade magic weapons; he was the patriarch of the Yan family, a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, his success rate in refining magic weapons was not high, and most of the time he only refined low-grade magic weapons.

It is conceivable that if they could successfully curry favor with the Heavenly Feather Sect and obtain a high-grade magic weapon from them, it would be an enormous opportunity for them, as Golden Core cultivators.

Just like Xu Chuan, once he fully refines the Azure Dragon Umbrella into his natal magic weapon, he will be able to directly confront a late-stage Golden Core True Monarch.

However, if Zhenjun also possesses a high-grade magic weapon, then Xu Chuan would have no choice but to turn around and run.

The power of supernatural abilities and magical treasures are two major factors influencing cultivators' combat, enough to make up for the gap in cultivation level and magical power.

The magical arts of talismans, arrays, and puppets can also have an impact.

However, because those of the third tier and above are extremely rare, they are often not seen on Golden Core cultivators.

"Welcome everyone to the founding ceremony of my Tianling Sect!"

"From now on, my Tianling Sect will also be one of the Golden Core forces in Tiancang Prefecture. You are welcome to visit often when you have time."

The person who presided over the founding ceremony was Rong Tianyang.

He was mainly responsible for the affairs of the Tianling Sect and its foreign relations.

The Blazing Sun True Lord possesses the strongest foundation; even ordinary Golden Core cultivators would never encounter him.

Yan Zhenzhen is in charge of weapon forging.

For the Tianling Sect to survive in Tiancang Prefecture for a long time, it naturally needs to have a skill.

Many of the disciples brought by Tiancang Mansion this time are weapon refiners, in order to earn resources to maintain the development of the sect and the cultivation of other disciples.

As for Xu Deling, he was the nominal sect leader, responsible for diligently and peacefully cultivating.

It can be said that the entire Tianling Sect was established for this purpose.

"That's for sure!"

"I will definitely come to bother you!"

The Golden Core cultivators responded with smiles and clasped hands in response, showing great enthusiasm.

"As for the Tianling Sect recruiting disciples, that will naturally take place, but it will have to wait at least ten years, since our Tianling Sect has only just been established."

"I'll wait to understand."

"Enough of this small talk, fellow Daoists, please take your seats."
