Chapter 78: "Let the Wind Blow from Any Direction, I Remain Unmoved in My Cultivation"

Chapter 78: "Let the Wind Blow from Any Direction, I Remain Unmoved in My Cultivation"

Two streaks of light flew rapidly toward the outside of Cloud Python Mountain.

After surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhang Yuhe and the others did not linger, choosing instead to return directly.

He was not injured and did not need to recuperate.

Flying out of the Cloud Python Mountain Range, Zhang Yuhe even deliberately made a trip around several nearby cities.

He discovered that no beast tide had erupted this time.

Perhaps because of the previous Heavenly Tribulation, the Demonic Beasts in the Cloud Python Mountain Range had been frightened.

Those high-tier Demonic Beasts might have already migrated to other places, far away from the vicinity of Thunder Lake.

As for those weak Demonic Beasts, they had long been frightened by the Heavenly Tribulation to্ধ্য the point of collapsing on the ground, unable to even run.

Naturally, they were unable to stir up a beast tide again.

That was for the best, sparing some trouble.

The two people flew rapidly forward.

Along the way, Li Tian remained silent and speechless.

Seeing Zhang Yuhe's cultivation advance with unstoppable momentum and break through to Body Integration so quickly.

Furthermore, when facing the terrifying Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Zhang Yuhe was still safe and sound.

Thinking of this, Li Tian felt a sense of yearning.

"This is what the Dao of cultivation should look like."

Li Tian secretly resolved to practice even harder in the future.

He felt that while Zhang Yuhe was able to break through quickly due to having heaven-defying Aptitude,

more importantly, it was because of sufficient effort.

Aside from secluded cultivation, Zhang Yuhe never did anything meaningless.

Unlike other Cultivators who became arrogant and boastful at the slightest breakthrough.

Even occasionally succeeding in refining a treasure would lead to grand celebrations.

Who else was like Zhang Yuhe, having cultivated the Dao for only a little over two hundred years yet breaking through to the Body Integration Realm with such utter indifference?

There was completely no surprise after breaking through, let alone any boastful actions.

Suddenly, Li Tian asked Zhang Yuhe.

"Martial Uncle Zhang, the Sect Master has ordered the establishment of the Demon Suppression Army everywhere. Do you know about this?"

"I know."

Li Tian calling him Martial Uncle made Zhang Yuhe feel a bit unaccustomed.

Since Li Tian called him Martial Uncle, what should he call Li Tian?

Could he call him disciple-nephew Li?

It felt a bit strange.

"I wonder how Martial Uncle views this matter?"

"How else can I view it? Just practice hard. No matter what the future brings, strength is the fundamental basis for one's footing."

Zhang Yuhe responded indifferently.

Feng Xiaotian ordering the establishment of the Demon Suppression Army everywhere clearly meant that a major event was about to happen.

Perhaps Dao Saint Sect had received intelligence that the Demon Race might launch a massive invasion?

That was why Feng Xiaotian had taken this action.

Furthermore, a general idea could also be seen from other details.

For instance, Dao Saint Sect suddenly comprehensively strengthened the training intensity for its disciples.

The annual merit points for Inner Sect Disciples changed from one point per year previously to five points.

If they went out to serve as a Guardian Envoy, it would be ten merit points a year.

The merit points that Outer Sect Disciples could obtain from doing missions had also greatly increased accordingly.

Yet the items redeemable with merit points had not increased in price.

Not only that, according to the news provided to him by Wang Guofeng,

things that could not normally be bought outside, such as high-tier cultivation techniques and divine abilities,

could now be bought as long as there were enough Spirit Stones.

All these signs indicated that Feng Xiaotian was racking his brains to enhance the overall strength of Yu Fantian Cultivators.

As for why he did this,

there was only one reason: Yu Fantian was about to face a great calamity.

It was precisely because of this that Feng Xiaotian spared no effort in wanting to strengthen the overall power of Yu Fantian.

Combined with the actions of the Demon God Cult continuously stirring up two demonic disasters some time ago,

it was very easy to draw a conclusion.

Perhaps the Demon Clan Army was truly about to arrive.

A storm was coming, filling the pavilion with wind.

That great calamity from one hundred thousand years ago might repeat itself immediately.

Hearing these words from Zhang Yuhe, Li Tian felt even more admiration for him.

"Let the wind blow from any direction, I cultivation unmoved."

As long as one cultivated until their strength was strong enough,

no matter how big the storm was, it was no big deal.

After a short while, the two quickly returned to Dao Saint Sect.

They went out quietly and returned quietly.

Up and down Dao Saint Sect, no one knew that another Body Integration Realm Elder had been added within the Sect.

Zhang Yuhe did not intentionally want to keep a low profile.

He was simply like that by nature.

It was merely breaking through to the Body Integration Realm; there was no need to make a fuss.

After returning to his Cave Dwelling,

Zhang Yuhe first upgraded his Natal Magic Treasure to a High-Grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Then he re-refined the Formation Plates and Formation Flags required for the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array.

He had already prepared the materials long ago.

A few days later,

Zhang Yuhe walked out of the Artifact Refining Room and slowly sat down on the cultivation platform.

With a wave of his right hand, five Formation Flags radiating dense Spiritual Qi flew toward the surroundings.

He took out the Formation Plate and activated the tier-3 Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array.

According to the description on the Jade Slip, the tier-3 Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array could increase the cultivation speed by five times.

"I hope to break through to the Great Ascension Realm sooner."

Zhang Yuhe muttered silently.

Yu Fantian was about to face a great calamity.

As an Elder of Dao Saint Sect, he naturally could not stay out of it.

Although Zhang Yuhe was a player from Blue Star and could completely choose to log off to avoid it,

he had no such thought at all.

Dao Saint Sect had provided him with an excellent cultivation environment, so he should fight for the Sect.

This was a responsibility and also a matter of Karma.

If he chose to log off to avoid it, his thoughts would likely fail to flow smoothly.

Simply put, his state of mind would be obstructed.

Those who practiced the Dao pursued great freedom and ease.

If the state of mind is obstructed, freedom cannot be attained.

Then what use was practicing the Dao?

Zhang Yuhe sat cross-legged on the cultivation platform.

As the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Scripture circulated, the surrounding Spiritual Qi rapidly surged and converged into his Dantian.

The five-fold cultivation effect was indeed extremely powerful and awesome.

However, after a short while, Zhang Yuhe opened his eyes and muttered to himself,

"Is cultivation in the Body Integration Realm this slow?"

Through his cultivation just now, he made a rough estimate.

Even with the blessing of the tier-3 Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, wanting to cultivation to the Body Integration Great Perfection

would probably still take eight to nine hundred years.

That was too long.

He wondered if he could break through to the Great Ascension Realm before the arrival of the Demon Clan Army?

The path of cultivating the Dao was like a heaven-defying step with each level; the further one progressed in cultivation, the harder it became.

From the beginning of his cultivation until now, Zhang Yuhe had only spent a little over two hundred years in total.

Yet wanting to break through from Body Integration to the Great Ascension Realm actually required eight to nine hundred years.

Of course, this was just the result of his rough estimate and was not necessarily accurate.

Moreover, this did not account for the time spent stuck at bottlenecks.

Because he felt that in the Body Integration Realm, there should be no bottlenecks.

"Take it slow; hopefully, it will be in time."

Zhang Yuhe put away his thoughts and continued to cultivation silently.

Time passed slowly.

Every few decades, the Demon God Cult would still deploy the Heavenly Dipper Realm-Breaking Grand Formation everywhere, attempting to open a temporary passage connecting the two realms.

However, every time the passage opened, the Demon Suppression Army everywhere would quickly react

and swiftly annihilate the descended Demon Race, basically failing to stir up any major waves again.

Even once, the Demon God Cult didn't even have time to open the passage

before they were discovered by the regularly patrolling Demon Suppression Army.

A fierce battle erupted instantly.

Upon receiving the report, Lu Mingfang quickly rushed to the scene of the incident.

Displaying his Divine Might, with a Body Integration Great Perfection cultivation base, he easily killed a Void Refinement Demon Race member.

Zhao Mingyue's Incarnation could not escape this time either.

After losing another Void Refinement Demon Race member,

the actions of the Demon God Cult gradually quieted down.
