Li Zhouzi looked serious, thinking inwardly, “No matter what, I can’t ignore the Su Family from now on.”
Although there has been no dispute between the lineage of the Yunjian Sect’s Sect Master and the First Elder recently, since the Second Elder broke through to the pseudo Core Formation Realm, the power within Yunjian Sect was controlled mainly by the Sect Master’s lineage, completely suppressing the First Elder’s lineage.
Previously, Fourth Elder Li Zhouzi had been leaning towards the First Elder’s lineage which was why he had accompanied Luo Qianyu to an encounter with Su Yu during the Great Moon Market.
Recently, though, Li Zhouzi’s stance had subtly shifted, leaning slightly more towards neutrality.
If the Yunjian Sect came to be controlled by the Sect Master’s lineage in the future, and if Gongsun Yi were to succeed in inheriting the ancient garments of the Yunjian Sect, receiving the mantle of inheritance, and breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, then Li Zhouzi would definitely align himself with the Sect Master’s lineage.
Therefore—
Li Zhouzi knit his brows slightly, reporting this matter back to the Sect Master of Yunjian Sect.
Upon reading this information, the Yunjian Sect Master, who had returned to the mountain gate after the First Elder had taken over the defense against the monster waves, frowned slightly, completely taken aback, “The Su Family has a relationship with Taoist Xiuyu of Sky Void Hall?”
This small Su Family, why are they so troublesome? First, the Great Moon Palace and now the Sky Void Hall.
“Forget it, such a small Su Family can’t really affect anything, this isn’t important.” The Yunjian Sect Master thought, “As long as they don’t cause trouble, in respect for Taoist Shuhai and Taoist Xiuyu, I will spare Su Zhi’s life and leave a path of survival for the Su Family.”
With the First Elder of Yunjian Sect holding the fort against the monster waves at the Great Moon Market, there was no worry of any trouble for now. He had returned to the mountain gate, the most important thing now was to ensure the continuity of the Yunjian Sect’s inheritance.
He looked towards the direction where the revered ancestor was secluding, muttering to himself, “I hope everything goes smoothly.”
“As long as Xi’er can successfully accept the revered ancestor’s rein of inheritance, in combination with the Golden Yuan Dan, there would be at least an eighty percent chance of breaking through to the Core Formation Realm.”
With a new Core Formation, the inheritance of his Yunjian Sect would be preserved and intact.
However—
He was unsure of when the revered ancestor would choose to pass on his mana.
One year?
Five years?
Or ten years?
After some thought, the Yunjian Sect Master took a deep breath to suppress his own anxiety, muttering to himself, “The revered ancestor probably has less than twenty years to live.”
He just can’t afford not to, without the revered ancestor’s mana inheritance, the Yunjian Sect would be in great danger in the future.
The speed of Taoist Xiuyu’s Flying Boat was very fast, even faster than the top-tier second-order flying beast.
Under the operation of the Space Deformation Array, Flight Array, and Protection Array, the Flying Boat flew at an extreme speed creating a sound barrier.
Enroute, in less than seven days, they had already reached the vicinity of the Great Moon Market.
“Screech!”
Ahead, a group of more than ten first-order flying monsters sensed the appearance of the Flying Boat, intending to fly over to intercept it, however, when they blocked the path of the Flying Boat, a top-tier second-order attack array was activated on the Boat.
Humm!
Accompanied by a dazzling flash of golden light, the Flying Boat shivered slightly.
In an instant, a golden sword blade was slung out at lightning speed, sweeping past the horde of flying monsters, which were incapable of dodging it.
“Splutter!”
Whoosh!
Having passed through the blood mist, the bodies of one flying beast after another were sliced in two, falling from the sky and smashing large craters into the ground below.
As they neared the Great Moon Market, two enormous second-order monsters sprang up from the earth below. A Demon wolf and a massive ape.
“Roar!”
“Hoosh!”
A wolf’s howl and an ape’s roar came together, and countless blades of wind like a stormy tide swept the high altitude, killing toward the Flying Boat under the control of the Demon wolf. At the same time, the massive ape held a petrified giant mace in its hand, which it hurled at the Flying Boat like a spear.
“Humm!”
On the flying boat, a second-rank supreme -grade cultivation technique and formation were activated once more, sending two terrifying golden sword auras cutting through the air. One sword aura shattered the petrified giant club thrown by the enormous ape.
Another sword aura slashed towards the demon wolf.
“Boom!”
The giant club shattered while the demon wolf narrowly dodged the sword aura. They left behind a deep, extensive rift on the ground, a singular reminder of the power of the sword aura.
Meanwhile, the protective array of the second-rank supreme-grade formation on the flying boat was launched.
“Boom!”
The successive strikes of wind blades impacted the defensive array barrier, merely causing ripples to appear on it. It was still a long way from breaking through the flying boat’s defense.
The demon wolf wasn’t particularly strong; it was only a second-rank mid-grade mystical beast.
Whoosh!
After one exchange, the demon wolf and enormous ape still wanted to attack the flying boat. But the speed of the flying boat was remarkably fast. In the blink of an eye, it broke away and soared towards the Greater Moon Black Market, not at all entangling with the beasts or intending to halt and fight them.
A day later.
In a house not far from the Sky Ruins Temple within the Inner Market, Su Yu looked in the direction of Greater Moon Ridge. Despite the considerable distance, he could still sense the oppressive aura of the beasts there. It felt like a heavy cloud over his mind, like a rock pressing incessantly on his heart.
Indistinctly, he could also see various flying beast types gathering together in the distant sky.
According to the information he gleaned from the Sky Ruins Temple, the issue with the current onslaught of animals was primarily their sheer number, a myriad of first-rank beasts interspersed with second-rank ones and the occasional third-rank creatures—making them incredibly challenging to deal with.
“I wonder if the Earth Rock Rat Beast Attracting Powder and Enchantment Liquid will be of any use?” Su Yu suddenly thought of this.
The Earth Rock Rat was also one of the main first-rank beasts involved in this onslaught.
The Beast Attracting Powder designed to deal specifically with Earth Rock Rats should have some effect.
Enchantment Liquid had a strong bewildering effect on first-rank creatures. It could even bewilder top-tier first-rank beasts, and was relatively easy to concoct. During this beast onslaught where loads of first-rank beasts roamed, having Enchantment Liquid could greatly enhance the strength and survival rate of those at the Qi Refinement realm.
Some similar potions might be available outside, but that wouldn’t stop him from making these.
Even if he only concocted them for his own people to use.
“Let’s first try concocting some, then hand it over to the people from the Yu family to test.” Su Yu pondered in secrecy. Although he never planned on personally joining in to cope with the animal onslaught, if he could do something to alleviate the danger it posed, he would gladly make an effort to help.
He called over Yu Linfeng and ordered him to find the ingredients for the Beast Attracting Powder and Enchantment Liquid.
When Yu Linfeng retrieved the ingredients, Su Yu began to concoct these two potions in large amounts.
The next day, beneath the courtyard in a secret chamber, Su Yu engaged in his daily cultivation. In addition to the spiritual energy from nature that he could access, which was comparable to second-rank spirit veins, the force trickling out from the lower-grade treasure Ice and Fire Bead within his Dantian also lent him its aid, helping to enhance his cultivation.
Upon finishing his cultivation session, Su Yu found that his proficiency had almost doubled compared to his previous training sessions. The growth rate was astonishingly fast, equivalent to a heavenly genius with a top-grade spiritual root.
Admiringly, Su Yu thought to himself, ‘This Ice and Fire Bead is truly a treasure!’
Its benefits were immense! Moreover, the Ice and Fire Bead still housed ninety percent of the power it had accumulated over many years, which would suffice for his cultivation for a lengthy period.
Following his exit from the secret chamber, Su Yu instructed Yu Linfeng to deliver the potions he had concocted the previous day to the representatives of the Yu family, who were led by Yu Baihe—Yu Ke’er’s father. Yu Baihe had been staying in the Greater Moon Black Market for some time now.
After sending off the potions, Su Yu waited for their feedback. As he helped the Sky Ruins Temple create mid-rank second-grade talisman scrolls, he began to study supreme-grade second-rank talisman scrolls.
He had the materials for crafting supreme-grade second-rank talisman scrolls and had reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
It was time to attempt to create them.
“Commonly seen attack scrolls from the second-rank supreme-grade scrolls tradition include the Geng Metal Sword Scroll, the Sky Burning Fire Scroll, the Sea Dragon Overturning Heaven Scroll, the Earth Dragon Covering Earth
Scroll, and the Wood Spirit Devouring God Scroll.”
“These correspond to the elements of the five phases. The power of the typical scrolls matches that of the late-stage of Foundation Establishment realm and depends on the material and quality of the final product. Top-quality scrolls are equivalent to that of the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.”
Seeing this, Su Yu started wondering—if he could create a supreme-grade second-rank top-quality scroll with two contrasting forces of ice and fire, what could its power amount to?
“I could research that later. For now, I should start with these five common scrolls.” Su Yu shook his head slightly..
