Chapter 288: Action

Wen Qiansun's successful Foundation Building this time was really unexpected for many people in the sect. He started practicing late, and even with good aptitude, by the time he completed Refining Qi, he had already spent too much time and was almost at the limit age for cultivators to reach Foundation Building. Without enough time to refine true qi and sufficient precipitation, he took a gamble and made a bold and vigorous effort, which led to his success.

In addition to luck, Wen Qiansun's success was due to his own efforts and perseverance, despite being underestimated by others. In fact, Wen Qiansun had already passed his 60th birthday during the period of seclusion, and according to the common knowledge of the Cultivation World, it is almost impossible for cultivators to succeed in Foundation Building after the age of 60. However, Wen Qiansun broke this common knowledge with his determination and courage, creating a great miracle.

Of course, the Cultivation World, with its extraordinary power, is a world where miracles happen. After Wen Qiansun's successful Foundation Building, he did not rush to leave seclusion. He only notified the sect of his breakthrough and continued to practice. Yang Xueyi lent him the Foundation Building Pill, which played a decisive role in his success. Now, Wen Qiansun needs to spend time slowly expelling the pill toxin and consolidating his Cultivation Base.

This time, Wen Qiansun's practice is different from when he was striving for Foundation Building. He can communicate with the outside world instead of being in closed-door seclusion. Meng Zhang made a copy of the list that Fei Hongzi gave him and gave it to Wen Qiansun. He asked Wen Qiansun to choose two magic tools that he could use, as a congratulatory gift from himself.

Wen Qiansun has just achieved Foundation Building and has not had time to practice various secret techniques or master many methods of Foundation Building period cultivators. Therefore, he can only rely on magic tools to enhance his combat power. Wen Qiansun's successful Foundation Building at this critical moment is truly a blessing for Taiyi Sect. With one more Foundation Building period combat power, there is one more chance of victory.

After returning from Flying Swan Sect, Meng Zhang did not idle but began to practice a small Divine Ability called Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword. Only Gold Core cultivators can practice true Divine Abilities. Before that, what cultivators practiced were called small Divine Abilities or False Divine Abilities. Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword is a highly lethal small Divine Ability that Meng Zhang obtained from the Trial Ground inheritance.

The complete version of Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword can be used as a Great Divine Ability to compete among Gold Core Daoist Masters. What Meng Zhang is practicing now is a prequel version of the castrated version. Even the castrated version of Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword requires specific conditions to begin practicing. Mid-Foundation Building Cultivation Base is a basic requirement, and sufficient pure Yin-Yang fiend qi is also needed. There are higher requirements for the practitioner's aptitude and comprehension.

Meng Zhang happens to meet all these seemingly harsh conditions now.

After starting his cultivation, Meng Zhang slowly absorbed the Yin-Yang fiend qi from the fiend qi stones into his body, and then mixed it with his internal true qi using a special method. Every drop of fiend qi entering his body would stimulate intense pain in his meridians, as if someone were scraping his flesh and bones with a knife. Meng Zhang could endure the physical pain.

He was extremely careful, not allowing the pain to distract him in the slightest. Underground fiend qi inherently contained impurities, and if not handled properly, it would pollute his true qi. This would not only cause a decline in his Cultivation Base but also require a significant amount of time to purify the true qi.

Meng Zhang encountered some difficulties but managed to overcome many obstacles during his practice of Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword. The only problem now was that Meng Zhang was worried that the pile of fiend qi stones he obtained from Flying Swan Sect would not be enough.

The operation conducted by Flying Swan Sect against Forest Spring Watch was aimed at certain victory, leaving no room for failure. They mobilized a large force and made thorough preparations to ensure no loopholes. Meng Zhang intentionally delayed the process, often complaining and creating various obstacles.

According to the agreement between the two sides, Flying Swan Sect secretly provided Taiyi Sect with a lot of resources. However, Meng Zhang always claimed that it was not enough and continuously requested more resources from Flying Swan Sect. Symbols and magic tools for battle, as well as healing pills, were secretly sent from Flying Swan Sect to Taiyi Sect.

Taiyi Sect took the lead in confronting Forest Spring Watch head-on, and it was certain that disciples of Taiyi Sect would shed blood. Meng Zhang did not hold back in his demands from Flying Swan Sect. Of course, Meng Zhang was not greedy without limits or boundaries. If he truly angered Flying Swan Sect, both sides would part ways, and Taiyi Sect would be the one to suffer.

Meng Zhang cautiously tested Fei Hongzi's bottom line and gradually requested resources, trying his best not to completely provoke him. Of course, Taiyi Sect was genuinely preparing for war.

More disciples were temporarily conscripted into the War Hall, where Meng Zhang personally guided them through various special training exercises. The intensity of training in spell casting and combat techniques increased. More disciples were gathered together to practice war formations. They had to learn to cooperate with each other and become familiar with fighting together against enemies. However, Taiyi Sect maintained an appearance of calm and tranquility externally while making intense preparations for war internally.

While Taiyi Sect was preparing for war, Qiaoshou Sect and Flying Swan Sect were not idle either. Even the Shi Family, who had been pursued by Flying Swan Sect for many years, joined the alliance. As remnants of the Purple Gold Sect, the Shi Family had a deep-seated hatred for Flying Swan Sect. However, it was unknown what price Flying Swan Sect paid, as it convinced the Shi Family to abandon their hatred and fight for Flying Swan Sect.

When Meng Zhang heard this news, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In the Cultivation World, the power of hatred is still no match for the power of self-interest. As long as Flying Swan Sect is willing to offer a price, any deep-seated grudges can be set aside.

Green Bamboo Mountain, which already had a close relationship with Flying Swan Sect and could be considered a subordinate, was ready to act at any time according to Flying Swan Sect's orders. In this operation, although Flying Swan Sect did not directly attack Forest Spring Watch, Taiyi Sect, Qiaoshou Sect, Shi Family, and Green Bamboo Mountain joined forces. With a calculated plan, Forest Spring Watch would undoubtedly suffer.

On the side of Forest Spring Watch, they only had staunch supporters from Forest Mountain School. However, without proper preparation, they might not have time to react. Even in a head-on battle, the combined strength of the four forces already surpassed that of Forest Spring Watch.

Despite Meng Zhang's intention to delay, the operation began according to the original plan.
