Chapter 580: Chapter 397: 20 Years Later
Over 700 million Talent Points.
After going to the Combat Talent interface, he converted them all into Combat Talent fragments.
Then, Fang Yun closed the glowing screen.
Last month, he had not only killed many Foundation Establishment Demons, but also a considerable number of Foundation Establishment Ghost Cultivators.
After he made his move, both the Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect retreated to their own territories.
The former territory of the Demon Spirit Sect had only just now been tentatively stabilized.
If the Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect didn’t cause any more trouble, everything they had set up here would proceed in an orderly fashion.
Fang Yun opened the newly revised map.
The Dragon Demon Palace, the Black Ghost Cave, the Ghost-Controlling Sect, and the Purple Blood Pavilion.
These four Evil Sects currently surrounded the Celestial Cloud Sect’s territory.
After occupying the territories of the Celestial Demon Sect and the Demon Spirit Sect, the Celestial Cloud Sect’s domain had changed shape drastically. The main sect was no longer located in the center of their territory.
’We still need to properly absorb the Demon Spirit Sect’s territory, and the branch sects haven’t been fully established yet. There’s no rush to move against the Dragon Demon Palace.’
Now that the Celestial Cloud Sect had more room to grow, it was even more important to proceed steadily.
’Since I started refining Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, this new batch of Elders has mostly reached the Late-stage or Peak of Foundation Establishment. The number of new Core Formation cultivators in the sect must keep up in the future...’
After a period of planning for the future, Fang Yun put away the map and resumed his cultivation.
Autumn passed and spring arrived.
In the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.
Nearly half a year ago, Fang Yun had returned to the main sect from the former site of the Demon Spirit Sect.
He hadn’t stood guard there for long because the area was stable enough. The likelihood of an attack from Ghost Cultivators or Blood Demons was minuscule.
The Ghost-Controlling Sect, which had been causing a ruckus, quickly pulled back after Fang Yun made his move. The Black Ghost Cave only stirred briefly before falling silent again.
As for the Purple Blood Pavilion, they hadn’t made a move since the Celestial Cloud Sect’s battle with the Black Ghost Cave began.
The Celestial Cloud Sect now possessed considerable deterrent power against the surrounding Evil Dao Core Formation Influences.
Before making a move against them, any Evil Dao Core Formation Sect would have to carefully consider their own strength. Otherwise, the fate of the Celestial Demon Sect and the Demon Spirit Sect would be their own.
An appropriate level of deterrence was conducive to the Celestial Cloud Sect’s stable development.
However, deterrence wasn’t a case of ’the higher, the better.’ Once it reached a certain threshold, the surrounding Evil Dao Core Formation Influences would indeed fear them, but the measures taken against them by the Evil Dao Nascent Soul Influences would change.
During times of stability, the rate of Talent Point accumulation would be slow. Fang Yun wasn’t worried about this, as his current talent levels far exceeded his own Realm, especially his Life Talents, which were just about sufficient to last him until the Divinity Transformation Stage.
There was another point.
The situation in the Qionglin Domain, along with the shifting dynamics of the surrounding powers, would absolutely not allow them to develop peacefully like this forever. This made it all the more important to cherish the current opportunity.
For Fang Yun, one obvious benefit of turmoil was the rapid increase in Talent Points.
In times of peace, he saw the benefits of peace; in times of turmoil, he saw the benefits of turmoil.
"Sect Leader, Senior Lin from the Wind Ling Sect wishes to see you."
"Bring her to Cloud Summit."
"Yes."
At the highest point of Cloud Summit.
Lin Caixuan of the Wind Ling Sect was already seated across from Fang Yun.
Fang Yun had a good idea why the Wind Ling Sect would send Lin Caixuan at this particular time.
"I haven’t yet congratulated Sect Leader Fang on eliminating the Demon Spirit Sect. Allow me to do so now," Lin Caixuan said with a smile.
When news of the Celestial Cloud Sect’s destruction of the Demon Spirit Sect reached the Wind Ling Sect last year, they were all astonished.
They were amazed by how quickly the Celestial Cloud Sect had acted. It was as if the Demon Spirit Sect had been wiped out in an instant, so fast that even their allies hadn’t had time to react.
"Sect Leader Fang, when do you plan to move against the Dragon Demon Palace?" After a few pleasantries, Lin Caixuan got straight to the point.
"Not until the Celestial Cloud Sect has completely digested and absorbed the Demon Spirit Sect’s territory," Fang Yun replied.
This would take quite a long time.
However, with their experience from absorbing the Celestial Demon Sect’s territory, it should be faster this time.
Hearing this, Lin Caixuan mentally calculated the time. Fang Yun’s answer was within her expectations.
The Celestial Cloud Sect certainly wouldn’t agree to act immediately. The gains from occupying the Demon Spirit Sect’s territory were enough to keep them busy consolidating for quite some time.
"If our two sects join forces against the Dragon Demon Palace, destroying it will be a simple matter." Lin Caixuan was full of confidence about the foreseeable future.
Fang Yun shook his head, disagreeing with Lin Caixuan’s assessment. "Eliminating the Dragon Demon Palace will likely be much more difficult."
"Why?" Lin Caixuan asked, confused.
The Dragon Demon Palace’s strength was nothing special; it wasn’t a powerful Demon Cultivation Core Formation Influence. The combined might of the Wind Ling Sect and the Celestial Cloud Sect was undoubtedly greater. Furthermore, no other Demon Cultivation Core Formation Influences bordered the Dragon Demon Palace. Considering all these factors, eliminating it should be even simpler than destroying the Demon Spirit Sect or the Celestial Demon Sect.
"The Celestial Demon Sect and the Demon Spirit Sect have already been destroyed by us. I believe the remaining Dragon Demon Palace will receive significant support from the Black Dragon Hall."
"Support from the Black Dragon Hall..." Lin Caixuan thought for a moment, still not understanding. "Sect Leader Fang, when you eliminated the Demon Spirit Sect, you also killed an Elder from the Black Dragon Hall, correct? That information is accurate, isn’t it?"
"That is correct."
"An Elder from the Black Dragon Hall died at your hands, and yet they still haven’t made a move. I think it’s unlikely they would support the Dragon Demon Palace."
Lin Caixuan explained her reasoning. If the Black Dragon Hall truly intended to act, they should have taken action against the Celestial Cloud Sect right after their Elder’s death, not waited until an attack on the Dragon Demon Palace to then offer aid.
