“Damn it, why isn’t this old turtle dead yet!”

The first Core Formation Cultivator from Li Huo Palace with the surname Huang looked aggrieved. His Spirit Beast was most sensitive to auras, and this old thing had wandered outside the Sect several times.

It even disappeared several times, and he thought that the old turtle had left, but who would have thought it would suddenly appear again after a couple of months.

“Master Lu is probably hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity. We can’t lose our composure.”

“Humph! Does he really think that a dying man can save this situation? Profound Sound Pavilion is already at its end; we can just wait a few more years.”

Meanwhile, the three Core Formation Cultivators from the Divine Sword Sect secretly felt fortunate that they hadn’t been calling Master Lu names, avoiding any serious offense.

Look at Li Huo Palace, just because they were loose with their words, and now that someone’s life is nearing its end, they went straight to linger at the entrance of the opponent’s Sect.

…

And Profound Sound Pavilion, although the war had temporarily ceased, within the Sect, there was an air of desolation.

“Ni Chang, after fighting for so many years, the Sect can hardly hold on. Perhaps we should also retreat.”

“Master, this is the foundation of Profound Sound Pavilion!”

Fairy Ni Chang looked at her own master with a look of reluctance.

Her own master had devoted her life to the Sect, and now to make this decision, the most painful was her master.

Instead, the middle-aged Core Formation Elder showed a bitter smile.

“Shang’Er, a few hundred years ago, the foundation of Yue Kingdom belonged to Profound Yin Sect. Our Profound Sound Pavilion merely rose to power by seizing the opportunity. There’s no such thing as a permanent foundation.

As long as you, Shang’Er, are here, Profound Sound Pavilion is wherever you go. It’s just that it will be tough for you in the future. With your talent, you should have shone brightly, but you’ve been burdened by the Sect.”

Hearing her master’s words, Fairy Ni Chang, the first prodigy of the Seven Kingdoms, firmly shook her head.

“Master, if it weren’t for you saving me, if it weren’t for the Sect, how would I be here today?”

“Cough, cough, Shang’Er, listen to me, we can’t continue fighting. Divine Sword Sect and Li Huo Palace are strong, and Master Lu’s life is nearly over. What good will it do to keep going?

Now, while the Sect’s foundation still exists, with your talent, Ni Chang, Profound Sound Pavilion will not be defeated! Remember, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, strength is everything. One day, if you become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, not only Yue Kingdom, but even the Seven Kingdoms…”

Listening to her master seem to be making final arrangements, Fairy Ni Chang remained silent.

“Alright, I won’t die anytime soon. First, let me contact the Divine Sword Sect and Li Huo Palace to tell them that Profound Sound Pavilion is willing to withdraw from Yue Kingdom.”

After saying this, the Golden Core Cultivator also showed a sad expression.

If there were any other choice, who would want to leave their homeland?

…

With the return of the Golden Core Cultivator Su Miaoyin and two Fake Pill Cultivators, the hearts of the people in Celestial Profound City settled down.

In addition to a late-stage Tier Three Profound Water Turtle and an early-stage Tier Three Gold-Eating Rat.

The high-end combat power in Celestial Profound City was no less than the Three Major Sects.

Celestial Profound Peak.

“Senior Sister, we’ve received news from Profound Sound Pavilion; they plan to withdraw from Yue Kingdom.”

Song Tingfeng showed a trace of concern. If Profound Sound Pavilion withdrew, Celestial Profound City would be a lone tree standing alone.

However, when Su Miaoyin heard this news, her expression remained indifferent.

“With Profound Sound Pavilion withdrawing, the resources freed will be enough for the two Major Sects to split. If they are still greedy, we wouldn’t mind forming alliances with other Sects from the Seven Kingdoms.”

“Senior Sister, other countries are also at war. I’m afraid…”

“Don’t worry, someone will come.”

Under the light tone of Su Miaoyin, it seemed she didn’t care about the situation in Yue Kingdom at all, but instead had some suspicion in her heart.

Is the old man really nearing the end of his life?

Why does she always feel something is amiss?

From what she knows, and from her mother’s words, her master has always been cautious, likes to conceal his strengths, bold yet meticulous, prudent and calculative…

She couldn’t believe he would just simply pass away like that.

And for a rare year, Yue Kingdom experienced peace, allowing the cultivators of the entire kingdom to catch their breath; the decades-long war finally gave them a moment of relief.

…

[Life Span: 88/251]

[Realm: Mid-stage Foundation Establishment (75/100)]

Inside his cave abode, Lin Chang’an, who had been in seclusion cultivating, slowly opened his eyes, astonished at the improvement of his cultivation realm.

“An elixir that even Core Formation Cultivators can use to enhance their cultivation, it truly is effective. One year can top ten years of my hard cultivation.”

“But unfortunately, there is only one pill.”

Lin Chang’an sighed with some reluctance. Tier Three elixirs are extraordinary, but it’s a pity that he can’t refine them yet.

Moreover, the Spirit Grass needed to refine Tier Three elixirs is hard to find not only in the Seven Kingdoms, but even in the Demon Beast Abyss, it’s extremely precious.

“But for me, it’s already gained me ten years of time.”

Lin Chang’an was very content. Last time, discovering Li Huo Palace’s plot was a coincidence, and thus he was rewarded with an elixir.

“At my current rate of progress, in about ten more years, I’ll be able to break through to late-stage Foundation Establishment.”

This big leap in cultivation has given Lin Chang’an the confidence to prepare for heading to the Demon Beast Abyss.

After all, the current situation in Yue Kingdom isn’t looking good either.

Just after Lin Chang’an emerged from seclusion, Shen Fan and Wei Yingying came to visit as a couple.

…

In the pavilion inside the cave abode.

“Uncle Lin’s great kindness, without which Yingying wouldn’t have had the chance for Foundation Establishment.”

A year ago, Wei Yingying and Shen Fan acquired a Demon Core, and before going into seclusion, Lin Chang’an had already refined the Foundation Establishment Pill.

With his skills, crafting three premium Foundation Establishment Pills, given his current status and strength, is nothing.

More importantly, he wouldn’t stoop to embezzling the younger generation’s resources.

Wei Yingying had broken through a few months ago and came to express her thanks right after he emerged from seclusion.
