Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 508 Myriad Sound Peak

"Senior Brother Yin, you made great contributions in the battle of Lingyue Peak, so why were you also assigned to this harsh and cold place?"

At the foot of the mountain, a man dressed in a gray Taoist robe asked curiously.

The senior brother Yin opposite him didn't look too good. He flicked his sleeve and said, "What is a bitterly cold place? What is hardship when you are working for the sect? I can go anywhere."

"Yes Yes!"

The gray-robed cultivator smiled obsequiously, but inwardly he was grumbling, wondering who was the one with the sour face.

In fact, the spiritual energy of Miaoyin Peak is very abundant, otherwise it would not have been chosen by Master Miaoyin as a place for seclusion.

However, several elders reside here permanently, and to facilitate their cultivation, the sect specially built cave dwellings in the mountains and set up a high-level spirit-gathering array; while the Shengyi Sect on the other side was not to be outdone and followed suit.

As a result, the spiritual energy of the entire Miaoyin Peak was divided in two and poured into the two caves of the spirit-gathering array.

These cave dwellings are the exclusive training grounds for Foundation Establishment elders.

The disciples who accompanied them to the garrison had absolutely no chance to participate. They could only cultivate using the meager spiritual energy and the subsidized pills they received.

Compared to the sect, isn't this place a harsh and cold land?
Of course, since the other party was being so stubborn, there was no need to say anything. The gray-robed cultivator followed closely behind Yin Mingren and whispered, "Senior Brother Yin, did you come here with instructions from the sect?"

"No."

Yin Mingren abruptly ended the conversation and walked impatiently toward the summit of Miaoyin Peak.

The gray-robed monk looked disappointed upon seeing this.

He originally followed his senior brother Tong and joined the "Aid-Dai Allied Forces" organized by Bailumen.

But not long after, the Mang Sect attacked the Bailu Sect camp. Instead of providing support, Senior Brother Tong led everyone to rush to Lingyue Peak to join the other elders and disciples of the sect.

No one knows how the sect planned it, but in any case, everyone attacked the beast tide at Lingyue Peak, causing some chaos. Shengyi Sect thought that the "Aid-Dai Alliance" had made a move, so they actually took the initiative to send people out to cooperate.

The results can be imagined!

The elders were well-prepared and caught Shengyi Sect off guard, and took advantage of the situation to break through the "Tiangang Juehe Formation," which the beast tide had been unable to shake for two months.

With the mountain-protecting formation broken, things became simple. Although Shengyi Sect still had some strength left, what could they do in the face of the overwhelming beast tide?

In less than a day, Lingyue Peak was razed to the ground by the beast tide.

Countless disciples of the Shengyi Sect died in battle during this period.

The Soul Suppressing Sect itself also suffered heavy losses!

Because apart from the elders, the disciples below were completely unaware of the attack on Lingyue Peak. They were almost unprepared, and naturally, they fared poorly in the face of Shengyi Sect's desperate counterattack.

Of course, it was the beast tide that truly caused the major casualties among the disciples of the Soul Suppressing Sect.

The beast tide makes no distinction between real and fake, nor does it care whether someone is a disciple of the Soul Suppressing Sect or the Victory Intent Sect. In their eyes, all human cultivators are nourishing "medicines".

He followed Senior Brother Tong, first attacking the beast tide from the side, and then launching a surprise attack on Shengyi Sect. He was always exposed to the monsters' sight and had countless near-death experiences.

After the beast tide receded, the sect completely occupied Lingyue Peak. His meritorious service naturally earned him great rewards—the sect even allowed him to privately collect a cultivation technique from the Shengyi Sect.

That's where the problem lies!
Although the sect intended to bestow rewards, it was unwilling to let those excellent cultivation techniques become commonplace, so it stipulated that each cultivation technique could only have ten slots for inclusion.

Because he entered Lingyue Peak first with Senior Brother Tong, he had secured one of the spots early on.

However, many later adopters also took a liking to this technique and asked him for it.

He certainly wouldn't agree!
Most people backed down, but Yan Qi was the only one who insisted on competing with him.

Yan Qi's Yan is the surname of the sect leader Shen Hunzi.

Although the sect leader devoted himself to the Dao in his later years and spent most of his time in seclusion, ignoring the Yan family members, the Yan family still firmly established itself within the sect thanks to the sect leader's power.

How could a mere ordinary disciple at the seventh level of Qi Refining possibly offend the Yan family?
Left with no other choice, he had to seek help from his senior brother, Tong.

However, Senior Brother Tong is the sect leader's personal disciple and has a very close relationship with the Yan family.

Even if Senior Brother Tong had the intention, he couldn't possibly punish Yan Qi.

Knowing he couldn't do anything to Yan Qi, and unwilling to give up the reward he had risked his life for, he had no choice but to follow Senior Brother Tong's advice and come to Miaoyin Peak to avoid trouble.

But after two days, he regretted it.

It should be noted that the cultivation technique he received was merely the first round of rewards from the sect.

Most of the merits accumulated by people killing demonic beasts and by the disciples of Shengyi Sect are still being tallied. At such a crucial moment, even the elders who have been stationed at Miaoyin Peak for many years have returned, while he is here waiting in vain. How could he not feel disappointed?

"So, you're the only one left on the entire Myriad Sounds Peak?"

Yin Mingren, who had reached the halfway point of the hillside, suddenly asked a question.

The gray-robed cultivator answered honestly, "Yes, the three elders and the other accompanying disciples all went back with them. I've been guarding the Purple Yin Cave these past few days."

Upon hearing this, Yin Mingren couldn't help but turn around and glance at the unfortunate fellow.

As far as he knew, neither the sect nor the Shengyi Sect could do anything about the Ziyin Cave. They could only send people to guard it, and anyone who came to Miaoyin Peak would have to wait at least one or two years before being allowed to rotate.

By the time the day of the rotation arrived, it was too late.

However, this had nothing to do with him. Although he also lacked connections and had no choice but to take on this difficult task, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the sect—even though he was a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator—he was among the first to divide up the Shengyi Sect's inheritance.

"Now that you're here, settle down and don't overthink things."

Yin Mingren said something indifferently, then ignored the other party and passed through several illusion arrays before arriving at his destination.

"Purple Shade Cave!"

Yin Mingren looked up at the simple stone cave in front of him, lost in thought.

Just then, the gray-robed cultivator suddenly approached and said cautiously, "Senior Brother Yin, something's not right."

"what happened?"

Yin Mingren turned around, frowning as he asked.

The gray-robed cultivator wiped the cold sweat from his brow and replied, "Before I came down the mountain to fetch you, I placed a forbidden talisman at the cave entrance."

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Mingren suddenly pulled the gray-robed cultivator backward.

The next instant, flames rose from the spot, and two distorted shadows were reflected in the firelight.

"Li Xiangming, your illusion magic is subpar, and you're even using your family's fire magic terribly."

Liu Xiong Yu chuckled lightly, his tone somewhat mocking.

Li Xiangming's lips twitched, but he did not refute.

His illusion magic was indeed mediocre, but that wasn't unacceptable because he hadn't spent much time on it.

The same principle applies to fire magic!
If he were to use "Phantom Waves," the Qi Refining cultivator on the other side would most likely perish on the spot, and the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators would also suffer minor injuries. If it were "Six Yin Void Divine Finger," anyone would have the chance to be killed in one blow.

However, with Liu Xiongyu present, the situation was already decided, so he naturally had to keep a secret.

"Who are you?"

Yin Mingren was furious when he saw Li Xiangming and Liu Xiongyu: "How dare you invade the territory of my Zhenhun Sect! You are simply ignorant of your own limitations!"

Having said that, he shook off the gray-robed cultivator, sprang up, and was about to launch a preemptive attack.

In an instant, he had closed in on Liu Xiongyu, his five fingers like hooks, carrying a fierce wind as he aimed straight for Liu Xiongyu's crown!

Liu Xiongyu remained motionless, only a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Yin Mingren's eyes grew even more malevolent, and his claws suddenly accelerated, his nails almost touching Liu Xiong Yu's hair.

"Is this your strength?"

A mocking voice came from behind!

Yin Mingren's pupils contracted sharply as he watched the figure in front of him turn into black smoke and dissipate.

He suddenly turned around, and a gust of wind whistled out from his palm.

Amidst the roar of magical power, Liu Xiongyu vanished once again.

Yin Mingren was sweating profusely!
At this moment, how could he not know the difference between the two?
"Who are you?"

"A person who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Liu Xiongyu stood quietly behind Yin Mingren, his tone indifferent.

Yin Mingren gritted his teeth, preparing for a final gamble, when suddenly he remembered something and shouted, "Liu Xiong Yu! You are Liu Xiong Yu! Only his Wind Release technique can achieve such speed."
