Chapter 1672: Chapter 564: Lu Wangshu Advances to Tier 3 Talisman Master, Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale!

“What, Fairy Xiao has broken through to Core Formation!?”

“Is it Fairy Xiyue of Caiyun Peak!”

“It seems that the various major forces are preparing for the Aoharvest war. I’ve heard that years ago, someone from Danxia Mountain also broke through to Core Formation!”

The family forces under the Qingyun Domain were all visibly shocked and moved upon hearing this news.

Especially the Jin Family and the Sima Family among these family forces.

After all, it’s no secret that Lu Changsheng, the old ancestor of Bi Lake Mountain, has a long-standing friendship with Fairy Xiao Xiyue of the Qingyun Sect since they were nobodies.

Now that this Fairy Xiyue has broken through to Core Formation, doesn’t Bi Lake Mountain have an extra Core Formation support?

Though it’s merely a friendship.

But often, the friendship of a Nascent Soul Immortal is enough to deter countless forces!

“These years, the Lu Family, because of the Pioneer Order, dared not invade and expand but could only pause their development, focusing on alliances. It’s estimated that the family already finds it difficult to continue internally!”

“Hmph, their Lu Family keeps nurturing Foundation Establishment Cultivators, trying to take a few decades to walk the path we’ve taken hundreds to thousands of years, how can it be that easy? Now these Foundation Establishment Cultivators have become a burden. If they can’t gain enough benefits from the Aoharvest war, they will surely face collapse!”

“The Aoharvest war, though full of opportunities, is nonetheless a song of blood and tears, with but a few able to stand out.”

“That’s the way it is with nouveau riche families without deep foundations. They think the more Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the better. Little do they know, without enough experience, and territories to support them, nurturing a bunch of Foundation Establishment Cultivators will only become a drag!”

“Indeed, where would Bi Lake Mountain find so many resources to support them? As for venturing out for experience, do they really think that just because they have Lu Ping’an, the Lu Family is favored by heaven and everyone can be like Lu Ping’an?”

Senior members of the Jin Family and the Sima Family whispered to each other.

For these families, cultivating Foundation Establishment Cultivators can be done with many peak Qi Refinement descendants directly making the leap to Foundation Establishment.

It’s just that they wouldn’t do so.

Only exceptionally outstanding family descendants can receive Foundation Establishment resources.

On one hand, this ensures the quality of the family’s Foundation Establishments.

On the other hand, it also allows the family to sustain long-term development!

The high welfare and high benefits of Bi Lake Mountain, encouraging childbearing, and the frantic nurturing of Foundation Establishment cultivators—they watch it with both dread and disdain.

The dread is that it truly can rapidly enhance the family’s strength and cohesion in a short time.

If Bi Lake Mountain gets rolling like a snowball, they would be very troublesome.

The disdain, however, comes from countless family forces summarizing that elites are the key!

Nurturing seven or eight mediocre Foundation Establishments is far less useful than having one or two prodigious descendants.

Besides, without sufficient territories and resources to support them, having too many Foundation Establishment Cultivators will only become a burden, even creating internal family conflicts.

So in recent years, they’ve not provoked Bi Lake Mountain.

Partly because they fear the Pioneer Order and the Lu Family’s ties with Caiyun Peak.

On the other hand, they also sit back and watch as the Lu Family struggles and collapses on its own! Content originally comes from novel[f]ire.net

Of course, they haven’t done nothing.

Secretly, when seeing disciples of Bi Lake Mountain heading to places like the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range or Black Cloud Mountain Range, they would attack and intercept them.

The intent is to hinder the Lu Family’s development as much as possible, causing their family to struggle and creating internal conflicts.

…

Qingzhu Mountain.

“Fairy Xiyue of the Qingyun Sect has broken through to Core Formation!?”

Lu Yuanzhong, who had become much thinner and more hunched, was very surprised to hear this news.

Under normal circumstances, an extra Nascent Soul Immortal for the Supreme Sect wouldn’t matter much to his Qingzhu Mountain.

Nothing more than a grand Core Formation ceremony where a lavish gift must be presented.

But Xiao Xiyue is different!

He knew that this Fairy Xiyue of the Qingyun Sect was exceptionally close to Lu Changsheng!

Moreover, Lu Wangshu, who was raised by Lu Miaoge from a young age, is as close as mother and daughter with Xiao Xiyue. They even bear a seventy to eighty percent resemblance, only differing in their demeanor and aura.

Upon hearing that Xiao Xiyue has broken through to Core Formation, Lu Yuanzhong immediately thought of Lu Changsheng and Lu Wangshu.

“Hiss, if the relationship between this Fairy Xiao and Changsheng were to get out…”

Lu Yuanzhong’s mind drifted back sixty-seven years to the battle between his Qingzhu Mountain and the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley.

That battle was supposed to result in an unexpected turn.

But a Foundation Female Cultivator, who expressed affection for the Qi Refinement stage Lu Changsheng, defected during the battle.

Now, more than sixty years have passed… Lu Changsheng has become an elder, the lord of Bi Lake Mountain, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, a third-rank Talisman Master, and even has a son with False Core-level combat power.

In such a situation, falling in love with a Nascent Soul Immortal seems quite plausible.

Yet when visualizing this scenario, Lu Yuanzhong still felt a bit dreamlike and unreal.

After all, this is a Nascent Soul Immortal, a pinnacle existence in the cultivation world!

…

Ruyi Prefecture, Ruyi Marquis Mansion.

“Daoist Xiao has broken through to Core Formation…”

Hong Yi, appearing aged and exuding an air of decrepitude, was napping and listening to music in the backyard.

At this moment, a junior of the Hong Family reported a piece of news to him, and his muddy eyes abruptly snapped open. His withered hands clenched into fists, full of disbelief, as he exclaimed, “Did you say that Fairy Xiyue of Caiyun Peak from the Qingyun Sect has broken through to Core Formation!?”

“Yes, Grandpa, this news just came in, and it’s absolutely true.”

The Hong Family junior replied respectfully, knowing that their ancestor once had some interactions with this Fairy Xiyue in their early years.

“Core Formation, Core Formation…”

Hong Yi’s throat moved as he murmured the words “Core Formation” repeatedly.

This matter was too impactful for him!

Once, he participated in the entrance examination of the Qingyun Sect with Xiao Xiyue.

At that time, he had a fondness for the stunningly beautiful Xiao Xiyue and pursued her.

Later, Xiao Xiyue successfully entered the Qingyun Sect, and Hong Yi realized they were not from the same world and put his feelings aside.
