During Lin Xuan's period of seclusion, great changes took place in the world of cultivation in Yanzhou, Zhao State. The cause was the conflict between two cultivation families.
The Yan family and the Wang family!
The Wang family accused Yan Tianheng of killing people and robbing treasures, and ambushed their disciples on the way.
However, because the head of the Yan family was missing, they suspected that Yan Tianheng was actually murdered by the Wang family.
Both sides insist on their own opinions and argue endlessly...
Because Yan Tianheng had already died in Lin Xuan's hands, no matter how the two sides engaged in a war of words, there would be no result as to the truth of the matter.
Originally, although the Xiuxian family had some power compared to the casual cultivators, their influence was very limited. However, there was a sect behind these two families.
The ancestors of the Wang family were once elders of Piaoyun Valley. Although they are now independent, they still have a love for incense. Yan Tianheng's second daughter is the concubine of the only Dandening Stage monk in Huoling Sect who is very fond of her.
With this relationship, and the fact that Huoling Sect and Piaoyun Valley have been competing for the hegemony of Yanzhou's cultivation world, they already had dissatisfaction, but they just worried about each other and usually suppressed their dissatisfaction.
Now, of course, each has its own shortcomings. If the two giants move, the other sects in Yanzhou will naturally not be able to stay on their own. Some have good relations with the Huoling Sect, and some have old friendships with Piaoyun Valley, forming two major confrontational alliances.
At first, there was a war of words, and then the cultivating families that relied on them began to fight each other. Fortunately, the various sects did not take action. However, now two years have passed, and not only have things not improved at all, but they have intensified.
The conflict between the Yan family and the Wang family was only the trigger, but now it is the two major cultivation alliances headed by Piaoyun Valley and Huolingmen that have really taken over.
However, the two sides did not have any scruples to fight. After all, the two sides were about the same strength. A large-scale merger would only hurt both sides and no one would benefit.
The high-level monks on both sides are not fools. They hate for hatred and hate for hate, but these cultivators cherish their own lives more!
Both sides adopted a war of attrition method.
What is a war of attrition?
This starts from the tradition of the world of cultivation. People have been pursuing immortality for tens of thousands of years. During this period, many large and small sects have clashed.
There are two types of conflict situations. One is a fight to the death. This situation usually occurs when one party is strong and the other party is weak, or there is an unsolvable blood feud between the two parties.
Since we are irreconcilable, there is no need to be secretive, just gather all the monks together and fight until the color of the sky and the earth changes color, and the sun and the moon lose their light. Then the winning side rushes into the other side's main altar and kills them all.
This kind of conflict is grand in scale, but takes a short time. Usually, the winner can be decided in a few months, and a sect has fallen.
Another type is a war of attrition.
This situation usually occurs when the strength of the two sects is about the same, and the conflict is not a mortal enemy. Both parties are unwilling to fight to the death, but they are also unwilling to negotiate a settlement, so what should we do?
Hold on and beat slowly!
In this case, the two sides will not gather monks to engage in large-scale combat, and even the chances of high-level monks fighting each other are rare.
The specific method is to declare that the other party's sect and its allies are your enemies, and if you see them, you will kill them without mercy.
In other words, they will not attack each other's main altar, but only hunt each other's lone monks.
This kind of fighting will not hurt your muscles and bones, but the time it consumes is shocking. There once appeared in the world of cultivation, two hostile sects had been fighting for thousands of years and lasted for several generations. The high-level monks did not die.
How many, but as time goes by, the number of low-level cultivators hunted by the opponent over the years has reached tens of thousands.
When he learned that his sect Piaoyun Valley and Huoling Sect had a war of attrition, Lin Xuan looked extremely ugly and almost cursed. There was no other reason. Once the war of attrition started, since each other did not attack the other party's headquarters, as long as
Hiding in the sect, you are safe, but once you go out, it becomes extremely dangerous, and you may become the opponent's target and hunted object at any time.
But now I have to go out again.
After entering the Dzogchen realm of the spiritual movement stage, Lin Xuan's next goal is naturally to successfully build the foundation.
Strictly speaking, low-level monks such as those in the spiritual stage are not considered to have truly entered the immortal world. Their longevity is still similar to that of ordinary mortals. Only after establishing the foundation can they be considered true cultivators.
But it's not that easy. Looking at Piaoyun Valley, the number of foundation-building monks is only one-tenth of all disciples, so the difficulty can be imagined.
Although Lin Xuan has the ability to purify and take large amounts of elixirs, the potency of the elixir is not omnipotent after all. At least the one he is taking now is not enough to successfully build his foundation.
In fact, the medicine Lin Xuan took was already very valuable. After entering the realm of Dzogchen, both his mana and the size of the sea of stars in his Dantian were different from before. Not to mention the middle-grade pills, even the top-grade marrow-cleansing pills were different.
can be purified.
If it were another person, taking high-grade elixirs and working hard, it would be very easy to build the foundation. After all, such elixirs are rare even in famous sects. Ordinary monks can only take them in this life.
When you reach the middle grade elixir, you will be so excited that your eyes will burst into tears.
However, Lin Xuan's situation is different. He is just an ordinary person without spiritual roots. Even high-grade marrow cleansing pills and hard work are not enough to build his foundation.
At first, Lin Xuan didn't give up, but after failing dozens of times and coming to this conclusion, he was really annoyed.
However, Lin Xuan's mind is far superior to that of ordinary people, and he will never give up. With a glimmer of hope, he even went to the road of mental refining, and once again ran to that terrifying place with terrifying illusions but sufficient spiritual energy, and took the high-grade elixir to build the image.
The base realm launches an attack.
However, if it doesn't work, it won't work. Sometimes, manpower is exhausted. No matter how hard Lin Xuan works and how many high-grade pills he takes, he still can't build the foundation.
It seems that if you want to succeed, there is only one last hope left!
