Cultivation: Being I Chapter 195

Chapter 195: The Calamity of Yun State

Yun State, Southwest.

The southwest of Yun State is still a wilderness, but it’s not the direction that the main sect of Yun State is exploring because if you keep going south, it’s all wilderness and there are extrely terrifying demons inside.

In the north of Yun State, there are cultivation worlds of other states, so the main sect of Yun State is constantly developing towards the north, hoping to establish connections with the other states.

Lin Jiang and twenty people used a teleportation array to arrive at a strange place that looked like a cave. Inside the cave, there was a wooden rack with a row of storage bags on it. Lin Jiang opened a few of them and found so low-level cultivation resources, even including so dried food, clean water, and so Inedia Pills.

"Martial Uncle, where are we?"

Among the twenty people, five are in the Building Foundation Period, and the rest are in the Qi Refining Period. Zhang Wenxin, who Lin Jiang has with him, is just a young kid.

"I don’t know either, so I want to go out and take a look."

"Ah, Martial Uncle, you want to go out? But the sect leader told us to hide."

"This place is a secret stronghold of the sect. It’s unknown how many years it has existed and whether the external environnt has changed. Do you want to die here?"

"No, Martial Uncle."

"Then listen to , Zhang Wenchen."

"Okay."

"Take care of your little sister."

"Yes, Uncle."

"You all, building foundation, after I leave, you will be in charge of the main food. If I don’t co back and the sect doesn’t send anyone, you need to hide here for more than a year. The food and Inedia Pills here will be enough for you. After one year, you can go out again, understand?"

"Yes, Martial Uncle."

"I will set up a formation for you. As long as it’s not a golden core entering, you will be safe."

Lin Jiang nodded and then set up the formation. He reassured everyone before continuing along the path inside the cave.

They walked through a winding and twisting passage for hundreds of ters, arriving at a stone wall. Lin Jiang broke through the wall and reached the outside world, using the broken stones to block the cave entrance. He made a quiet mark before flying away.

Flying up into the sky, Lin Jiang spent an hour figuring out the direction. This place should be southwest of Anhua City, directly south of the Five Elents Sect. However, it was still unknown how far into the Wilderness he could venture.

"Help, I am a descendant of the Lin family from Anhua City in Yun State. Dear Taoist friends, please save . The Lin family will surely express their deep gratitude."

Determining the direction, Lin Jiang swiftly flew towards Anhua City. However, halfway there, Lin Jiang heard the cries for help from the Lin family descendant and quickly stopped.

On the ground, a dozen Lin family descendants were being surrounded by two black-robed individuals. Several people were lying on the ground, and the Lin family descendants were at most in the later stages of Building foundation. They relied solely on a temporarily set up formation to resist, but even that formation was on the verge of collapsing.

"Small Shadiao, one person each, take them down."

Lin Jiang changed into a black robe, put on a mask, and released Small Shadiao.

"Yi…ng…"

Small Shadiao instantly began to attack. Its speed was extrely fast, appearing behind one person in the blink of an eye. Its claws tore through his protective energy, bringing forth a mist of blood.

"Explosive Elent Technique"

Lin Jiang followed closely behind and sneak attacked with a sword, cutting the person’s body into pieces.

"You animal!"

The remaining person was frightened by Small Shadiao, about to curse, but suddenly realized that his companion was already dead. He quickly changed his direction and swung his weapon towards Lin Jiang.

"Boom!"

The two clashed with each other. Lin Jiang’s flying sword shattered. Lin Jiang had advanced to the golden core stage in less than two years, but he hadn’t had ti to craft his own magical weapon. He was still using the previous superb quality spiritual weapon, which was ultimately one level lower.

"Golden Rainbow Piercing Sun"

Lin Jiang imdiately threw away his broken sword, gestured with both hands, and a burst of golden light erupted. The spells of the Five Elents Sect were very famous, and Lin Jiang had learned quite a bit over the years.

The golden light collided with the sword light, causing the golden light to shatter and the flying sword to veer off course. At this mont, Small Shadiao launched his wind blade skill once again, and countless wind blades attacked, causing the person to beco sowhat flustered.

"Golden Rainbow Piercing Sun"

"Explosive Elent Technique"

Lin Jiang unleashed Golden Rainbow Piercing Sun once again, but this ti, he added the power of the Explosive Elent Technique.

"Boom!"

This ti, Lin Jiang erged victorious. The golden light directly struck the enemy, sending him flying. Small Shadiao caught him mid-air and with its claws, tore into his body. Blood splattered everywhere. Then, Small Shadiao swallowed the man’s golden core in one gulp.

The cultivator’s golden core is just like the Demon Core of the demon race. It is their essence and holds great attraction for them. Lin Jiang frowned, but didn’t say anything. Normally, he wouldn’t allow it, but now, he couldn’t worry about that.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life. I am Anhua City…"

"Don’t babble! I am a friend of the Lin family, and I have co to help. How is the Lin family doing now?"

"I…"

"Speak."

"Yes, I escaped from Anhua City. Anhua City was attacked, and the enemy had many powerful warriors called Nascent Soul and hundreds of strong warriors called golden core. We were no match for them. Third Ancestor and Tenth Ancestor ca back to help us, and we fought against them. I don’t know what happened after that. I brought so people into the Wilderness to hide, but we have been chased by soone. There were more than sixty of us, but now only a few of us are left."

"Okay, you guys keep looking for a place to hide. Don’t co back for now."

"Senior, where are you going? Can you take us to a safe place?"

"No ti."

Lin Jiang left a ssage and then packed up two bags with golden core inside. He flew away directly.

"How many did you kill?"

Lin Jiang continued flying towards Anhua City. After flying for more than a thousand miles, he suddenly heard a ssage in his ears. He turned around and saw two people flying towards him, both wearing black robes.

Lin Jiang instantly realized that he was mistaken as an ally. These people never showed their faces, and their black robes didn’t have any obvious signs. They really looked very similar. Lin Jiang concluded that they were not from the sa group, otherwise, they wouldn’t make this kind of mistake.

"Five."

Lin Jiang reached out his hand and made a gesture.

"Being a Taoist friend won’t work, how much reward can we get with only five?"

"My prices are higher."

"Aren’t they all the sa? Mortals cost ten spirit stones, Qi Refining Period costs one hundred, Building Foundation Period costs one thousand, and golden core costs thirty thousand."

"I charge five thousand for killing soone in the Building Foundation Period."

"What?! How can you be so expensive?"

"It’s given by the Ancestor."

"Damn it, it’s all about killing people. Why should we suffer?"

They didn’t even need to communicate with sound anymore. They were so angry. Why were their prices so low compared to others, who were charging five tis more?

Black-clothed people kept appearing from all around. Soon, more than ten people gathered. Soone said. Stop talking! The locals in Yun State are starting to fight back. Let’s go back to Five Elents Sect.

"Excuse , Taoist friend. Are we going to war with the main sect in Yun State?"

"Of course! The higher-ups couldn’t reach an agreent for so reason. We need to go support them and break Five Elents Sect. There’s so much wealth to be gained, much more than the bounty. Hurry up!"

"Let’s go and destroy these locals from Yun State."

"Destroy their sect and take their money!"

The black-clothed people were overjoyed. They believed that with their power, breaking into Five Elents Sect would be an easy task. The wealth was right in front of them.

Lin Jiang silently followed behind them, his mind racing quickly. He had already realized that these black-clothed people didn’t just belong to two factions; it was much more complicated. There might be seven or eight factions involved.

And judging from their accents, they were not locals from Yun State. Lin Jiang had been in Yunzhong City for many years and was familiar with accents from different parts of Yun State.

Soon, Lin Jiang followed these people to the vicinity of the mountain gate of Five Elents Sect. From a distance, he could see a chaotic battle unfolding. The Soul Changing Ancestor of Five Elents Sect was fighting in the sky against the enemy’s Soul Changing. anwhile, Nascent Soul and golden core cultivators were engaged in battles at different heights, but those below golden core were not present.

Now, both sides are fighting fiercely, but the Five Elents Sect is becoming weaker. The enemy is too strong, with more Nascent Souls and more golden cores, not less than two hundred golden cores, and they are still gathering more.

The only advantage of the Five Elents Sect is that they still have a mountain gate to rely on. Once injured, they can temporarily hide inside the mountain gate.

"Fellow senior brothers of the Five Elents Sect, don’t panic. The Zhonghang Sect is here."

"Senior brother of the Five Elents Sect, the Cloud Sword Sect is here."

The reinforcents from the Zhonghang Sect and the Five Elents Sect, who arrived almost at the sa ti as Lin Jiang and others, also only consist of people with golden cores or higher cultivation.

"Those of you, follow

and attack them."

A Nascent Soul appeared and spoke to Lin Jiang and the dozen others, then flew towards the floating airship in the sky. Lin Jiang closely followed.

Inside the airship, the Nascent Soul took out several huge crossbows, which looked like the ones Lin Jiang had seen before.

"Fifth-rank God Slaying Crossbow."

"This is the legendary God Slaying Crossbow that can destroy Nascent Souls."

People were quietly discussing that Lin Jiang had never seen such a treasure in Yun State.

The Nascent Soul quickly assembled a God Slaying Crossbow and installed it on the flying boat. They then took out boxes of spirit stones.

"This is the God Slaying Crossbow. I just installed it on each flying boat. Each ti it is activated, at least twenty Premium Spirit Stones need to be installed. Use your divine consciousness to lock onto the enemy and work in teams of two. Hurry!"

"Yes, sir."

The crowd of black-robed people imdiately responded and went to retrieve the God Slaying Crossbow and spirit stones.

Lin Jiang had never seen so many Premium Spirit Stones before. There were low-grade, dium-grade, and high-grade ones. The exchange ratio between Premium Spirit Stones was one to one hundred. Despite having earned a lot of spirit stones in the Five Elents Sect, he had not seen a single Premium Spirit Stone. He had only seen a few in the sect’s treasury.

"Don’t just stand there, hurry up!"

"Sir, look behind you."

"What"

The person instinctively looked back, and at this mont, Lin Jiang launched an attack, using the Life Talisman given to him by Lin Batian.
