Chapter 238 Late Foundation Establishment Stage
Qingya Mountain.
The man on the futon made hand seals, and wisps of fire, like dragons, moved back and forth between his mouth and nose. After an unknown amount of time, he finally slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, a powerful divine sense covered the entire Qingya Mountain. Whether it was Zhang Yuanlin handling affairs in the main hall or Zhang Yuanli refining pills in the Dan Ding Pavilion, every action and every detail of everyone could not escape the man's detection.
However, they were all oblivious, busy with their own work.
However, during the divine sense probe, there were far fewer cultivators on Qingya Mountain than before. This was not surprising, as since he gave the order, almost all the cultivators in Yingchuan County had concentrated on the border between Yanxing County and Tianshui County to guard against unforeseen events.
"This is the divine sense of a Golden Core cultivator. It's truly worlds apart." Zhang Lingyu observed the actions of each clansman with curiosity and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Since the incident of the Demon King's execution, he has been in seclusion again, and it has been five years now.
Counting the days, it's time for the Spirit Puppet Sect to open.
In the past two years, he focused on improving his cultivation. With the help of the Purple Sun Spirit Fruit given to him by Jiang Shuyan, he finally broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
However, he is only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If he wants to push his cultivation to the peak in the next three years, he will need at least two to three more Purple Sun Spirit Fruits, and it will take five to six years.
Therefore, Zhang Lingyu stopped focusing on cultivation level and instead turned to practicing magic.
The Burning Yuan Fire Scripture includes a fifth-grade technique called the Flame Feather Technique, which involves dividing the Burning Yuan Heart Flame into countless forms to create an impenetrable net that can bind the enemy within and subject them to the scorching flames.
Of course, it can also be used as a group spell.
Although the power of the Burning Yuan Heart Flame is greatly reduced after it is divided into thousands, its high mobility often results in unexpected effects, and it consumes relatively less mana and mental energy.
In addition, there are two fourth-grade spells for self-defense and escape: the Flame Robe and the Fire Escape. Their effects are certainly not as good as magical artifacts, but they can be used when needed.
Including the refinement of the other spells, it took about a year and a half.
As for the rest of the time, he devoted himself to cultivating the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture." He was just one step away from perfecting it, and the arrival of the Moon Marrow Spiritual Water accelerated this process.
But he underestimated this final step, and it took him a whole bottle of Moon Essence Water to reach his current level.
However, I wasn't too heartbroken. The treasure that could produce Moon Essence Water, the Moon Condensation Stone, was kept in the cave. I wasn't worried about not having it in the future; it would just take a little longer.
Feeling the surging magical power within his Qi Sea, Zhang Lingyu was filled with joy, but he quickly composed himself and activated the intelligence system.
In those five years, he opened the intelligence system only a handful of times, since he was going into seclusion and couldn't wake up every day.
Fortunately, nothing major happened during this period, and he recorded all the opportunities he had encountered, which he then sent to Zhang Yuanlin through the Night Owl Guards, where the old man was responsible for handling them.
But things are different now. The Spirit Puppet Secret Realm has opened, and a large number of cultivators are eager to make their move. A major event may be about to occur, so we cannot afford to delay for even a moment.
[Level 5 Intelligence: In three days, five Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators will ambush cultivators traveling to Tianshui County in Zhao State from Huyuan Mountain in Yanxing County. Those wishing to proceed should proceed with caution.]
[Level 5 Intelligence: In three days, a Golden Core cultivator from the Bloodflame Sect, Blood Peak Master Xueyue, will infiltrate Tianshui County. If you wish to go, please proceed with caution.]
[Level 6 Intelligence: A major battle between Golden Core cultivators will erupt in Tianshui County in one day. The Blood Flame Sect's True Person Xue Yue and True Person Xuan Dan will clash at Water Jade Lake. Those wishing to go should proceed with caution.]
......
"really..."
As intelligence gathered over the past month was about to be released, Zhang Lingyu's expression grew increasingly solemn. Just as he had expected, forces from all directions were flocking to Tianshui County.
Among them were many demonic cultivators from the State of Chu.

Even before the Spirit Puppet Sect was established, these demonic cultivators began burning, killing, and looting in several major counties such as Yanxing and Tianshui, and at least several Foundation Establishment families had already been wiped out.
Fortunately, the six sects also knew the seriousness of the matter, and the Golden Core cultivators deployed defenses around Tianshui County to prevent Golden Core demonic cultivators from invading.
As for Yingchuan County, it naturally could not escape the harm. However, due to the scarcity of resources and the presence of a Golden Core cultivator, the Golden Core demonic cultivators disdained to come here.
Two months ago, a group of demonic cultivators sneaked in from Yanxing County. Fortunately, Zhang Xinghao and Zhang Yuanyi discovered them in time and notified Zhang Xingyao to come to their aid. They finally killed the group of demonic cultivators.
I wonder how Uncle Thirteen and Grandfather Ten's injuries are.
The intelligence system only provided this information and did not mention the two individuals' situations. Given that Zhang Yuanshan, Zhang Xingxuan, and Zhang Xingfeng had all successfully broken through after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, there shouldn't be any major problems. Otherwise, they would have forcibly summoned themselves.
After that, there were invasions of all sizes, but fortunately they were all resolved one by one. Only a few members of the Zhang family perished, but more than twenty cultivators from the vassal families below died.
This wasn't just due to the Zhang family; cultivators from the six sects were also gathering in Tianshui County, and some cultivators simply dealt with the situation as they passed by.
There was also an unexpected surprise.
Lin Qing and his wife have arrived in Yingchuan County.
The couple arrived a month ago. Their cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. They had discussed with Zhang Lingyu that they would come to find him when the ruins were about to be revealed.
At that time, he had not yet left the pass, so the two did not disturb him and simply stayed at Qingya Mountain. At Zhang Xingyao's request, they joined forces to defend the border and were stationed at the border of Xiayanxing County.
With the addition of the couple, the pressure on the family was greatly reduced, and many unscrupulous individuals were eliminated.
"We should offer some compensation as a token of our gratitude afterward."
So I continued reading.
[Level 6 Intelligence: In three days, the ruins of the Lingkui Sect in Tianshui County, Zhao State, will be revealed to the world. It will open in half a month, and a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators will enter at that time. There will be great opportunities inside, but also great risks. If you wish to go, please be careful.]
Looking at the date, this intelligence was from seven days ago. Counting the days, the Spirit Puppet Sect Ruins will officially open in eleven days.
"Great opportunity...great risk..."
That's understandable; what opportunity doesn't come with significant risks?
He flipped to the last page in one go. Nothing major happened today, but yesterday's intelligence report made his expression change drastically.
[Level 6 Intelligence: Five late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators will attack the Tian family in Yingchuan County one day from now. If you wish to go, please be careful.]
"One day from today afternoon, isn't that today?"
Zhang Lingyu stood up instantly. It was already noon, and there wasn't much time left before the five demonic cultivators attacked. Five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were a force that even Lin Qing and his wife, along with the Zhang family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, couldn't handle.
There's a real risk of them perishing.
"Fortunately, there's still time."
At his current speed, he could get there quickly, so he immediately left the cave. However, as soon as he left, he found several letters outside. He glanced at them and found they were all about recent events in the family.
Almost all the intelligence displayed by the intelligence system is included.
Then it immediately took off and headed towards the Tian family's direction, making such a commotion that it greatly surprised all the cultivators of Qingya Mountain.
"Is this the clan chief?"
"Has the clan leader emerged from seclusion?"
The clansmen's expressions changed from surprise to joy. Judging from his power, he must have broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. However, instead of going to the main hall after leaving the seclusion, he hurriedly went out.
Just as they were wondering what was going on, a voice came from the horizon.
"Chieftain, I'm going to inspect the border. You can all rest assured!"
