Soul Devourer!

Lu Changfeng frowned slightly, ignoring Chen Changsheng. Although the Soul Devourer was powerful, he was not afraid. Although sword cultivators were straightforward, their sword aura protected them, making them the most effective at resisting such attacks on the soul.

However, the presence of four Foundation Establishment cultivators and three Foundation Establishment priests put him under considerable pressure.

They managed to gather four Foundation Establishment cultivators, which puts them at a clear disadvantage against seven others, including a Soul Devourer.

As for Chen Changsheng's thoughts, Lu Changfeng didn't bother to pay attention. The strength and influence of the Southern Barbarians were much greater than those of the Western Four Counties. They hadn't even sent out any Golden Core cultivators yet, which meant they were being restrained.

If they bring over the Golden Core cultivators first, and the war is accidentally escalated to the Golden Core level, not only will the Foundation Establishment cultivators be easily turned into cannon fodder, but the Lu family's hard-won stable business will also be in danger.

Chen Changsheng wasn't unaware of this, but he had many ulterior motives. He was afraid that if he didn't produce a Golden Core, it would instead draw his ancestor over.

Delaying the breakthrough to the Golden Core stage is a minor matter; being injured by the Soul Devourer is a major issue.

However, Lu Changfeng, who is in charge of the overall situation, will not take into account the thoughts of Chen's family.

Thinking of this, Lu Changfeng quickly sent a message to Lu Guchu, inquiring about Lu Guchu's request for help from Qingyun Sect, and suggesting that Lu Guchu send a message to the Chen family's patriarch, asking him to come quickly.

Since this matter concerns the four western prefectures, the Lu family has even dispatched Lu Changkong; how could the Chen family possibly keep it hidden?

Qingyun Sect.

The three sects of Tiannan occupy the lands of seven kingdoms. The Qingyun Sect, on the other hand, controls the territories of Yue, Wei, and parts of Qi. Although its influence is not the greatest among the three sects, it occupies the most fertile land.

The Qingyun Sect's main gate is located within the territory of the Qi Kingdom.

Although the seven kingdoms were ordinary dynasties, they were not without their differences in strength. Among them, the strongest was the Kingdom of Qi.

Qingyun Mountain, where Qingyun Sect is located, is one of the most sacred and beautiful places in the Qi Kingdom.

The four western prefectures are merely border prefectures of the Southern State, which is itself only the border of the Yue Kingdom. The current situation in these four western prefectures, which seem tense due to the ongoing war, is no different from children fighting in the eyes of the Qingyun Sect.

Let alone being nervous, the fact that Qingyun Sect could even raise their eyes was considered a relief.

However, for the Lu family, this was a matter of utmost importance. Even Lu Guchu could not fathom the thoughts of the Southern Barbarian Sacrificial God. No one could predict whether the Southern Barbarians, after three thousand years of recuperation, were harboring ambitions again and preparing to unleash another great calamity upon the Southern Barbarians.

Therefore, it is important to do things in advance and seek help as soon as possible.

With the war in the Southern Barbarians raging, Lu Guchu naturally dared not leave lightly, and could only ask a member of the Lu family in the Qingyun Sect to relay the message.

As a power under the Qingyun Sect, the Lu family's ancestor was a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Qingyun Sect. Whether it was to maintain the family line, to leave a way out, or to use the resources of the Qingyun Sect to cultivate their clansmen, the Lu family sent several clansmen to the Qingyun Sect for cultivation every generation.

Even today, the Lu family's influence within the Qingyun Sect is considerable.

"Senior Brother Lu Feng!"

"Senior Brother Lu Feng!"

As Lu Feng ascended the Azure Cloud Steps, his fellow disciples greeted him warmly whenever they saw him.

Unlike powerful families like the Lu family, the Qingyun Sect admits disciples in a system that categorizes them into servants, outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.

Those who cannot break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining before the age of thirty are all menial servants; those who break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining before the age of thirty will automatically be promoted to outer disciples after passing the outer sect assessment.

Fifty years old is another threshold. Those who can break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining before the age of fifty and pass the inner sect assessment will automatically be promoted to inner sect disciple.

These are all disciples with the potential to establish their foundation; their treatment and status within the sect will differ.

True disciples are at the Foundation Establishment stage, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

The Qingyun Sect's inner disciples compete every ten years. Those who rank in the top ten are addressed as "Senior Brother" or "Second Senior Brother" by other inner disciples.

Those who rank in the top ten are mostly capable of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, making them outstanding individuals within the Qingyun Sect.

Although Lu Feng did not make it into the top ten, his twelfth place ranking in the last competition astonished many disciples of the Qingyun Inner Sect. It should be noted that Lu Feng is only in his early fifties, yet he has been stuck at the twelfth level of Qi Refining for a long time.

With the support of the Qingcang Lu family and double the resources, and now that the Lu family has been promoted to a Golden Core family, many people believe that Lu Feng's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage is almost a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, they are even more eager to make friends.

Lu Feng returned the greetings one by one with exceptional enthusiasm. Thinking of the things passed down from the Great Ancestor, Lu Feng's heart burned with even greater passion.

Yes, for Lu Feng, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is not difficult. After all, he is the twelfth inner disciple, has a lot of resources at his disposal, has been accumulating experience for a long time, and even has a Foundation Establishment Pill in hand. If he only sought a low-grade Dao Foundation, Lu Feng would probably already be a Foundation Establishment cultivator by now.

But with the Lu family behind him and the Qingyun Sect nurturing him, it would be unwise for him to only seek a low-grade Dao Foundation.

At the very least, he should aim for a mid-grade Dao Foundation. With the 60-year limit drawing ever closer, Lu Feng dared not ask for more. He had already prepared to begin his breakthrough.

However, the gift from the Great Ancestor greatly boosted his morale. It was a resource that was enough for him to create a high-grade Dao Foundation. A high-grade Dao Foundation! With his earth spirit root body, if he could create a high-grade Dao Foundation, he would have many opportunities to condense a golden core in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng felt even more excited. However, the situation in the clan was not too good. Although the Great Ancestor had broken through to the Golden Core stage, those damned Southern Barbarians were causing trouble again. He could only hope that it was just a normal raid.

Along with the Foundation Establishment resources, a letter from the Great Ancestor was also sent, which he intended to personally deliver to the Sect Master.

The Ninety-Nine Azure Cloud Steps in front of the council hall were built by the first patriarch of the Azure Cloud Sect, meaning that the Azure Cloud Steps are right under your feet, and only under your feet.

As Lu Feng stepped onto the Azure Cloud Steps, he felt that his steps were much lighter than usual.

Inside the council chamber.

Lu Feng had arranged a time in advance, and when he arrived, only the sect leader was waiting for him in the main hall.

Although Qingyun Sect is a Nascent Soul sect, and even has a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, Nascent Soul cultivators generally do not get involved in worldly affairs. It is the Golden Core cultivators who handle the affairs within the sect.

"Disciple Lu Feng greets Sect Master!"

Qingyun Sect Master Hong Tao looked at Lu Feng and nodded. The Lu family was indeed showing signs of rising. Not only had Lu Gu Chu broken through to the Golden Core stage, but many other members of the clan had also made progress in their cultivation.

Lu Feng's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage was already highly probable, and with the Lu family's assistance this time, it would likely be even more impressive. Thinking of this, Hong Tao was also lost in thought.

Fortune may seem unpredictable, but in the eyes of cultivators like them, there are still clues to follow.

Breaking through to the Golden Core stage is no easy feat, especially when it comes to resources. Even a small family like the Lu family would find it incredibly difficult. Now that Lu Gu has broken through, he must have gotten a stroke of luck.

If the Qingyun Sect didn't grant them this opportunity, then the Lu family must have obtained it on their own. The Southern Continent was originally a buffer zone set up by the Qingyun Sect.

The Southern Barbarians are a formidable force. How could a major power like them easily start a war? Besides, even if they conquered that barren land, it wouldn't bring them much benefit.

It's not easy to defend, and fighting away from home is not a wise move. So we might as well set up a buffer zone. If the southern barbarians are severely affected by the disaster, we can let them plunder and get through the disaster.

But if the southern barbarians are ignorant and ambitious, extending their tentacles outwards, then it's perfect to lure them over and kill them.

Hong Tao didn't need to guess much about Lu Feng's intentions; he could basically figure it out—it was simply a request for help.

However, this did not conform to the established policy of their Qingyun Sect. As for the Lu family, they did not even care about the life and death of the Zixia Sect, let alone the Lu family.

Do you really think the legacy of the Zixia Sect is so easy to obtain?

Three thousand years have passed, and the legacy of the Zixia Sect remains there, but the Qingyun Sect is unaware of it.

Of course not, they just disdain to take it. They have to leave a way out for the forces in Nanzhou. Their Qingyun Sect is not like the monks of Hanshan Temple.

Now that the Lu family has received the legacy of the Zixia Sect and taken this benefit, they must take responsibility for the affairs of the Southern Barbarians.

"I already know why you've come, but this matter cannot be rushed. It is of great importance, and we need to consider it carefully within the sect."

I see your cultivation level is starting to give way. When do you plan to break through?

This!

Lu Feng watched as Hong Tao easily brushed aside the topic, not even giving him a chance to mention it. He wanted to say something more, but he knew that this was not something a mere Qi Refining cultivator like himself could comment on.

So in the end, he could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and bowed to Hong Tao, saying, "Sect Master, I'm about to break through, but the road ahead is unpredictable."

Hong Tao didn't take it seriously. Cultivation is never easy, especially breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Failing to break through can easily lead to death.

After a moment's thought, he said, "In that case, I will provide you with a superior-grade cave dwelling within the sect. You have three years to go and break through."

Superior Cave Dwelling!

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but show his joy. Breakthrough in cultivation is the most important thing. The right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable. Now he has all the resources and the right people, but the right time and the right place are not something he can force.

Now, Hong Tao has given him this superior-grade cave dwelling, which is equivalent to giving him a geographical advantage. A superior-grade cave dwelling is a place where three-tier spiritual veins converge, which is enough to increase his chances of successfully forging a superior-grade Dao foundation by 10%.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng bowed again solemnly, "Thank you, Sect Master."

Outside of Nanning County.

Lu Yang stepped on the wind-blown letter, dodging the attacks from the evil cultivators behind him.

boom!

A beam of black light shot towards Lu Yang, but he easily dodged it. The light struck the ground, causing a cloud of black mist to rise. The ground was covered with corrosive marks and was even poisonous.

With this level of power, it's already at the late stage of Qi Refining. If you get hit, you'll probably be severely injured even if you don't die.

Fighting against evil cultivators is ultimately different from fighting on the martial arts stage. You can't think about exchanging injuries. Evil cultivators don't care about martial ethics, and they use all sorts of strange and bizarre techniques.

Seeing that his attack had missed, the evil cultivator behind him attacked even more fiercely, but unfortunately his movement skills were not good, and Lu Yang managed to dodge each attack.

Although the enemy was very strong, Lu Yang showed no sign of tension. If it was only at his current level, he could still handle it.

I was a little annoyed. I came out with the team to investigate, and it just so happened that we ran into evil cultivators.
