Ancestor Above

Furthermore, it was just as Lu Qing had expected. It was useless for the two of them to break through.

Logically speaking, for a metal-elemental cultivator to break through to the initial enlightenment stage, they would need the heavenly golden stone. For the wood-elemental cultivator, they would need the divine Tree of destiny. However, with their unparalleled talent, there was no need for that at all. They could just break through by force.

Originally, the family still had two divine trees of destiny in their possession. They had obtained them from the divine Deer Forest during the battle in the North barren forest. Originally, he had planned to use one for Lu Wenen, and sell the other for the heavenly gold stone for Weiwen’s use.

But now, it seemed that there was no need.

However, there was one thing that was a little regrettable.

Wenen was also very eager to have ‘magical powers’, a top-level ability of a Grand cultivator. After he obtained the wood heavenly spiritual root, he had been thinking about whether it was possible for him to obtain a sacred art that belonged to him when he broke through to the initial enlightenment stage.

This way, even though his cultivation level did not exceed his cousin’s, at least in terms of sacred art, he was on par with his cousin.

However, after Qianqian broke through to initial enlightenment, Wenen did not awaken his god art.

Lu Qing felt a little regretful after he found out about this.

However, when he thought about it, other than Lu Qing himself, the rest of the people in the clan who had divine abilities seemed to have one characteristic: He had the talent of a spirit body.

For example, Weiwen had the ‘gold spirit body’ very early on. Later, when she broke through to the foundation establishment stage, she directly awakened the ‘indestructible body of Vajra’. For example, Lu Chaohe had obtained the gravitational ability when he broke through to the initial enlightenment stage after obtaining the Earth Spirit body.

Did that mean that it was easier to awaken divine powers when one broke through to the next level with a spiritual body?

This was very possible.

Wenen didn’t awaken his god art talent, but Weiwen had made more progress in god art.

After returning from the reflection in the immortal Palace, she had been called to the closed-door cultivation room by her ancestor to be taught cultivation techniques before she tried to break through to the initial enlightenment stage.

After returning from the heavenly Palace, Weiwen found that her cultivation speed had become faster.

That was for sure. In the reflection of the immortal Palace, she had been bestowed with the Golden heaven spiritual root by white sword immortal’s remnant will.

After obtaining the heaven spiritual root, she had also reached the minimum requirement to cultivate a divine-grade cultivation technique.

Lu Qing naturally passed on the ‘immemorial sacred white sword manual’ that he had to her.

Of course, only the parts before the initial enlightenment stage.

There was no need to spread too much at once.

When Lu Weiwen was breaking through to the initial enlightenment stage, she used a divine-grade cultivation technique to break through. After breaking through to initial enlightenment, her sacred art seemed to have undergone some changes.

Originally, her indestructible physique had two great effects. One was to strengthen her defense to the extreme, and the other was to strengthen the strength of the cultivator.

After the transformation, Lu Weiwen felt that her control of metal and metal spiritual force had greatly improved. The addition of the spell technique was still fine, but the most important thing was that he could directly extend his metal spiritual power to metal magical artifacts.

Combined with the sword technique from the immemorial sacred white sword manual, Lu Weiwen’s future battle style might not seem too different from the past. She would still choose to fight in close combat. However, once she got close, she would no longer be like before, where she would no longer rely on her body to fight head-on, use her powerful strength, and use her strength to suppress others.

She still had the advantage of strength that far surpassed cultivators of the same level, but she would definitely have more skills. At close range, the power of the powerful sword controlling techniques in the Holy white sword manual was obviously very powerful, and it was extremely difficult to guard against and Dodge.

Who could withstand the innumerable sword scroll?

It was a little inappropriate to call this divine power ‘indestructible body of Vajrapani’.

Lu Weiwen had changed its name to ‘indestructible sword body’, which sounded like some kind of spiritual body talent.

......

The Lu family was not the only one who had digested the results of the battle in the North barren forest and gradually turned it into their own strength.

In the war against the demon race 12 or 13 years ago, the Lu family was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. Other than them, all the other forces in the Feiyun state who had participated in the war had also benefited greatly.

Mu Yangcheng of Sishui County had broken through to the initial enlightenment stage. After more than ten years of preparation and the support from the Lu clan, he had become an initial enlightenment cultivator.

This itinerant cultivator came from a poor family and had not joined a sect. To be honest, it was very rare for him to be in such a situation.

He had also established his own clan.

Although he didn’t have many children, his sons had many wives and concubines, and they had many descendants in decades. At the same time, he also adopted many sons from all kinds of individual cultivators. In just ten or twenty years, the MU family became a family with hundreds of people and 40 to 50 cultivators.

At the same time, he established a small sect in Sishui River, named after himself,’Yangcheng sect’. A large number of itinerant cultivators in the Sishui River joined them, and he even tried to recruit some itinerant cultivators as his disciples.

The entire Yangcheng sect had about three to four hundred people.

Of course, the quality could not be insisted on. Other than mu Yangcheng, there were only two other foundation building cultivators.

However, just mu Yangcheng, who was at the initial enlightenment stage, was in charge of Sishui. His Yangcheng sect was the second most powerful force in anling Prefecture. Of course, it was also the most powerful Lackey of the Lu clan.

Mu Yangcheng knew very well that if they wanted to have a better development in anling, or even the entire Feiyun state, it would be best for the MU family and the Yangcheng sect to cling tightly to this thigh that they had obtained after much difficulty.

Mu Yangcheng was a smart person. He had already sided with the Lu family when the Lu family had just shown signs of rising in power. Through so many disasters, he had always stood firmly on the Lu family’s side. Of course, the Lu family would return the favor and support the other party.

As for the other small families who participated in the war, they also had their own benefits. Having an additional Foundation cultivator or something was a very strong improvement for these small families.

In addition to these small forces, the hai clan and the Qingfeng sect also had great improvements.

In the last war, apart from the Lu family, the hai family of Donghai had gained the most.

In just 12 or 13 years, the hai family had two more initial enlightenment cultivators.

At the same time, hai Sande had finally broken through the shackles that he had been stuck in for many years and entered the late stage of the Golden core realm. He felt that he would be able to enter the eighth-stage golden core realm in a few years.

To put it bluntly, the rapid progress of his cultivation base was actually due to the accumulation of many years in the past. After this financial war and the investment of a large number of resources, he had accumulated a lot, which allowed him to have such a rapid improvement.

Lu Qing felt that he would not be able to continue after exhausting all the energy he had accumulated in the past.

Lu Qing was not too worried about hai Sande. With hai Sande’s talent, comprehension, and character, his cultivation base had almost reached its limit. He might have the chance to become a peak Jindan cultivator in the future, but that was all he could do.

Old Hai’s remaining lifespan was not much, and it was almost impossible for him to break through to the nascent soul realm.

Apart from the Lu and hai sects, the Qingfeng sect had also benefited greatly.

...

In the Battle of the North barren forest, all three sides fought together and the results were clear. Even though the West Army had suffered heavy losses after the ambush, the sect leader’s faction had taken the brunt of the losses. Among them, Daoist Kong Tong’s indirect death in that battle was the biggest loss.

However, the number of casualties of his disciples was only about one or two thousand.

For the overall size of the Qingfeng sect, such a loss was painful, but it was not a serious blow.

As for the large profits that the West Army had obtained, they all went into the sect’s Treasury. In fact, a large number of cultivators from the Qingfeng sect had also participated in the battle, including the North and Northwest armies. The hai clan and Lu clan would not be so stingy. The cultivators of these sects should also get their share of the profits.

In terms of absolute quantity, even the sect’s profits were much more than the Lu family’s.

A considerable part of the benefits that the sect had obtained in name had been exchanged by the members of the Lu and hai families in the sect.

However, a nobleman was still a member of the sect.

The remaining portion still allowed the beneficiaries to obtain many benefits. In the past ten years or so, the entire Qingfeng sect had gained six new initial enlightenment cultivators-of course, this was the result of taking into account the hai clan’s initial enlightenment cultivator and Lu Wenen.

At the same time, Yun Xuan also began to prepare for his golden core advancement.

Of course, Yun Xuan did not have any external pills. The Lu clan still had two demon cores that could be used to refine external elixir, but they obviously would not give them to him. In fact, the method that Yun Xuan had chosen to break through was the most Orthodox method for ordinary golden core cultivators-to prepare the materials needed for the breakthrough and use his own accumulation and perception to break through.

In the past many years, he had already broken through twice. He was slightly older than Li Yanling, and his cultivation speed had always been faster. However, the Golden core stage was not that easy to break through to. He had failed in the past two breakthroughs. Li Yanling, on the other hand, had been a golden core cultivator for many years with the help of an external pill. She was already at the third-stage golden core realm.

...

However, with the experience from the past two failures, he was more than 80% confident in his third breakthrough.

He had already saved up quite a bit of wealth. He had some precious materials on hand and some in the sect’s Treasury, which he could exchange with his sect’s merit points. As for the remaining, he could also ask some friends to collect and buy them.

However, what he was worried about now was not whether he had enough heavenly treasures to break through or whether he could successfully break through.

What he was most worried about was whether the Lu clan would allow him to break through.

Breaking through to the Golden core realm was extremely dangerous. All kinds of preparations had been made, but the probability of failure was very high. If the Lu family did not allow him to break through, he would definitely fail miserably.

With the Lu clan’s influence in the sect, it was easy for them to do so. It was just a matter of whether they wanted to or not.

He had to have a talk with the Lu family.
