Chapter 566: Chapter 390: The Foundation Catches Up

In the Cultivation Room.

A vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was continuously drawn toward Fang Yun.

His aura didn’t stabilize until the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi returned to normal.

Mid-stage Core Formation!

He was only 182 years old. Fang Yun was very satisfied with breaking through to the Mid-stage Core Formation at this age. His initial hope had been to simply reach this stage before turning 200, as that would give him a chance to push for the Nascent Soul Stage in the future.

Core Formation Stage Cultivators generally have a lifespan between 450 and 500 years.

To be more specific, Early-stage Core Formation Cultivators are concentrated in the 450 to 480-year range, while Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators are in the 470 to 500-year range.

Since most Core Formation Stage Cultivators get stuck in the early and middle stages, their lifespans generally fall within this fifty-year window.

Breaking through minor realms also brings a small increase in lifespan. For the Foundation Establishment Stage, it’s typically a few years, while for the Core Formation Stage, it’s ten to twenty years. This increase becomes much more significant at the Nascent Soul Stage.

For example, a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator can expect to live at least a hundred years longer than an Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The first thing Fang Yun did after breaking through to the Mid-stage Core Formation was to feel the changes within himself.

His Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Profound Jade Sword, had already been successfully upgraded through Sacrificial Refinement. Now that he had reached the Mid-stage Core Formation, he could unleash its power perfectly, especially with the boost from his eight-star Combat Talent.

Even without a surprise attack, most Cultivators at the Peak of Core Formation would likely struggle to block a direct strike from his sword.

’Within the Qionglin Domain, there’s probably no other Core Formation Cultivator stronger than me.’

At this moment, after his breakthrough, Fang Yun felt he was more or less the number one person below the Nascent Soul Realm in the Qionglin Domain.

Only he himself was aware of this level of strength.

With this strength as his foundation, he could accomplish even more.

After coming out of seclusion, Fang Yun first received Song Qiaoqiao’s congratulations. He then asked her about what had happened over the past two months.

He was relieved to learn that nothing of importance had occurred.

Seven days after his breakthrough to the Mid-stage Core Formation, he convened a meeting with the sect’s upper echelon.

In the meeting hall.

He sat in the Sect Leader’s main seat. The first people to his left and right were Song Qiaoqiao and Bai Qinying, respectively, which spoke to their status within the sect.

Nowadays, high-level sect meetings required three days’ advance notice to allow the Supreme Elder guarding the Demon Destruction Sub-Sect to return.

If a meeting was particularly urgent, it was fine if a few people were absent.

Since Fang Yun became the Sect Leader, most of the meetings he called were just a formality.

The Supreme Elders rarely opposed any decision Fang Yun wanted to make. Even if some disagreed, it was only ever one or two of them.

Among the current Supreme Elders, no matter how outrageous Fang Yun’s ideas were, at least three of them would still support him.

To the relief of Supreme Elders like Zheng Wuji, Fang Yun was very reliable and wouldn’t entertain strange ideas or make absurd decisions.

"We can accelerate our operations against the Demon Spirit Sect," Fang Yun said, looking at the assembled Supreme Elders.

Dealing with the Demon Spirit Sect was the main topic of this high-level meeting convened by Fang Yun.

"As for the Dragon Demon Palace, what are your thoughts now, Sect Leader?" The moment Fang Yun finished speaking, Miao Qinghong brought up another issue.

She was the Guardian of the sect’s Demon Destruction Sub-Sect, which was located near the Dragon Demon Palace.

While stationed there, Miao Qinghong had thought that if the sect were to take action against the Evil Sects, they should start by making an example of the Dragon Demon Palace.

First, by dealing with the Dragon Demon Palace, they could perform a pincer attack with the Wind Ling Sect.

Second, the Wind Ling Sect was very keen on them making the first move against the Dragon Demon Palace.

Finally, after eliminating the Dragon Demon Palace, a part of their Earth Realm would border the Wind Ling Sect’s, allowing for better communication between the two sects in the future.

But to Miao Qinghong’s surprise, the Demon Spirit Sect had actually attacked them directly, even attempting to wipe out one of their subordinate Foundation Establishment Influences.

She had been stunned for a long time when she received that news.

Even she felt the Demon Spirit Sect’s actions were highly problematic. ’No matter how aggressive you are, you still have to consider your own strength,’ she mused. By the time she had become a Supreme Elder, the Celestial Cloud Sect’s overall power was already visibly growing.

"There’s no rush to deal with the Dragon Demon Palace. As long as they don’t make a move, we don’t need to pay them any mind," Fang Yun replied.

"Hahaha, Sect Leader, I think it would be difficult for the Dragon Demon Palace to make any move right now," Zheng Wuji said with a laugh.

"Indeed," Bai Qinying said, nodding. She added another piece of information, "The Wind Ling Sect now likes to harass the Dragon Demon Palace from time to time."

Ever since the Celestial Demon Sect was eliminated, the Wind Ling Sect’s approach to the Dragon Demon Palace has been completely different.

Of course, the Wind Ling Sect’s current actions are all small-scale, just like how the Dragon Demon Palace used to treat them.

And now, the Dragon Demon Palace is reacting in much the same way the Wind Ling Sect did when facing their harassment before.

"As long as the Dragon Demon Palace understands the current situation, they won’t act rashly."

Discussing the Dragon Demon Palace’s situation, the other high-ranking members all agreed with Fang Yun’s assessment that they could be ignored for now.

None of the other leaders present shared Miao Qinghong’s view.

Faced with this situation, Miao Qinghong knew that nothing she said would make a difference.

’I can only blame my bad luck.’

However, she still had other opportunities.

She looked at Zheng Wuji and spoke:

"Supreme Elder Zheng, are you interested in guarding the Demon Destruction Sub-Sect?"

Zheng Wuji immediately understood what Miao Qinghong was trying to do.

She wanted to secure an opportunity for herself to take action against the Demon Spirit Sect.
