Tempered Immortal

During the period of Lin Xuan’s seclusion, the Cultivation World in the Yan Prefecture of Zhao Country has changed greatly because of the enmity between the two cultivator Families.

The Yan and Wang Families!

Wang Family accused Yan Tian Heng of killing and ambushing their people, who were returning home.

Yan Family was suspected because of the missing Family Head, but in turn, suspected that Yan Tian Heng was actually collaborating with the Wang Family.

The two sides are in a constant war of words, and no side can win against the other.

Because Yan Tian Heng has already died in the hands of Lin Xuan, no matter what the two sides are bickering about, there would be no result to this matter.

Although these Immortal Cultivation Families have some power compared to Rogue Cultivators, their influence is very limited.

But there is a sect behind those two families as a backing.

Wang Family’s ancestor used to be a Whirlwind Cloud Valley Elder. Although they now stand on their own, they still have some connections, and Spirit Flame Sect’s only Core Formation Cultivator is very fond of his concubine, Yan Tian Heng’s second daughter.

The Spirit Flame Sect and Whirlwind Cloud Valley have been vying for the hegemony of Yan Prefecture for a very long time, there is a suspicion that they had a hand in the matter, but they are scrupulous.

Of course, if their respective backing, the two giants move, Yan Prefecture’s other Sects naturally can not be alone, some associate with Flame Spirit Sect, and some with the Whirlwind Cloud Valley, forming a two-faced alliance.

Fortunately, the major sects did not move. However, now that two years have passed, things have not only not improved but have also become even more intense.

The contradiction between Yan Family and Wang Family is only the fuse. Now the two Alliances led by Whirlwind Cloud Valley and Flame Spirit Sect are really on the rise.

However, the two sides did not make a big deal out of it. After all, the strength of the two sides is almost the same. If a large-scale fight begins, both sides will be losers and no one will benefit.

The Upper echelon on both sides are not fools, they may not like one another, but all cultivators cherish their little lives!

The two sides adopted a method of warfare.

What is a war of attrition?

This is from the tradition of the Cultivation World. People have pursued the Immortal Path for tens of thousands of years. There were also many conflicts between Sects.

There are two types of conflict situations, one that ends quickly, and this situation generally occurs when one party is weaker than the other, or both sides have bloody hatred that cannot be solved.

Since they can’t be in the same sky, they simply gather all their cultivators and attack the other side’s abode.

This kind of conflict is huge, but it takes a short time. Usually, it can be concluded in a few months, and a sect will fall.

Another type is the war of attrition.

This situation usually occurs when the strength of the two sects are similar, and the goal is not the death of the enemy. The two sides are not willing to fight to the death, but they are also not willing to negotiate, then what should they do?

Wear each other down.

In this case, the two sides will not gather cultivators, for large-scale fighting, or even a High-Rank cultivator.

The specific method is to announce to the other party’s Sect and its allies, that you are our enemy, when we meet later, kill without mercy.

In other words, they will not attack each other’s sect directly, but they will kill each other’s cultivators.

This kind of fighting will not hurt the roots, but the time spent is astounding. Since appearing in the cultivation world. The two hostile sects have been crossing swords for thousands of years, stretching out for generations.

The Low-level cultivators that have died in this long war of many years reached the tens of thousands.

When he learned that the Whirlwind Cloud Valley and Spirit Flame Sect have started a war of attrition, Lin Xuan complexion became ugly to behold, it’s for a important reason because they won’t attack each other’s home ground, as long he hides inside and never go out he will be safe, but once he goes out, it will become extremely dangerous, and he could be hunted down by the other side at any time.

But now he has to go out for a trip.

After entering the realm of Spirit Condensation Stage Great Perfection, Lin Xuan’s next goal is naturally the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment.

Strictly speaking, Low-Level cultivators such as those in the Spirit Condensation Stage are not yet real cultivators. Their life span is still similar to an ordinary mortal. Only after the Foundation Establishment is one a real cultivator.

But is it really that easy, even in the Whirlwind Cloud Valley, Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators are only one-tenth of all disciples, you can imagine how difficult it?.

Lin Xuan, although has the ability to purify,  and can take a lot of pills, his pills aren’t immortal elixirs. At least the ones he’s taking now are not enough to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In fact, Lin Xuan’s medicine has been very valuable. After entering the Great Perfection, his volume, whether it is spiritual power or the blue star sea in his Dantian, is different from it was before, not to mention aMiddle-Gradee Pill, even high-grade Purifying Essence Pills can also be purified.

If it was someone else, taking a High-grade Pill, and in addition to some effort, Foundation Establishment would be easily achievable. After all, such a pill is very rare even in a great sect, very few cultivators can even obtain mid-grade pills.

If one ever consumes a mid-grade pill, they would be filled with tears.

However, Lin Xuan’s situation is different. He is just an ordinary person without a Spiritual Root. Even a high-grade Purifying Essence Pill, and with some efforts, is not enough to make him achieve Foundation Establishment.

In the beginning, Lin Xuan still wouldn’t give up, but after failing dozens of times, he reached this conclusion, which really annoyed him.

However, Lin Xuan’s mind and will are far better than ordinary people, and he never gave up. With a glimmer of hope, he purified a lot of high-grade pills and even went to the tempering heart road, and once again ran into the terrifying place with horrible illusions but with an abundance of Spiritual Qi.

He still failed to enter Foundation Establishment.

It seems that if he wants to succeed, there is only one last hope!
