Chapter 223: Reignited Belief

Ling Wanqing and Yun Ruyan arrived outside and discovered that there were no abnormalities; as expected, the Demon Race members had not yet arrived.

Ling Wanqing also knew that it would take quite some time for Demon Race members from other regions to arrive here; it was not that easy to assemble completely.

Ling Wanqing then brought Yun Ruyan back to the Celestial Maiden Sect.

Yue Xin sensed their return; she had happened to notice when Ling Wanqing went out earlier.

Yue Xin had not expected Ling Wanqing to go out at this time, as it was very unlike her.

However, Ling Wanqing did not say anything to her. Although she had wanted to chase after her to ask, she decided against it after some thought.

Everyone had their own matters to attend to. Seeing her finally return after a few days, she had originally been somewhat worried.

But now that she was back, it was fine. It looked like she had gone to find her Disciple.

It was likely that something had happened, but it seemed to have been resolved; as long as both returned safe and sound, that was all that mattered.

Yue Xin then withdrew her gaze.

Ling Wanqing and Yun Ruyan returned to their residence, and Ling Wanqing gave most of the resources collected in the Secret Realm to Yun Ruyan.

However, she still kept some for herself.

For Ling Wanqing, she did not need so many resources at the moment.

She lacked nothing; the only thing she wanted was to advance her Zither Intent further, and she was indifferent to everything else.

Her cultivation was already sufficient. A Breakthrough to the Void Refinement Stage could not be achieved just by relying on these resources.

Yun Ruyan did not act coy; these items were exactly what she needed right now, and she wanted to increase her Cultivation speed as much as possible.

These resources could accelerate her Cultivation speed and also facilitate her absorption of those Legacies.

Ling Wanqing handed over the resources obtained from the Secret Realm to Yun Ruyan.

After accepting the resources, Yun Ruyan said, "Master, I will go to Cultivate now. I must seize the time to strive for a further advancement in my cultivation before the Demon Race members arrive, or gain more insight into the things within the Legacy."

"Only in this way can I make a greater contribution to our Celestial Maiden Sect and the Southern Region in the upcoming great war, and better defeat the Demon Race members."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "Ruyan, I believe you can do it. If you have any needs, you can come to me."

"If there is anything I can help you with, feel free to ask. I will do my best to do whatever I can."

Yun Ruyan looked at Ling Wanqing. "I understand, Master. I will go now."

As she left, Yun Ruyan waved at Ling Wanqing.

Ling Wanqing watched the departing Yun Ruyan; for so many years, Yun Ruyan had been her only Disciple.

Yun Ruyan had always satisfied her greatly.

She never demanded that Yun Ruyan achieve anything specific; as long as she walked her own path, that was enough.

When she was struck down by Ye Lin and Li Yi in the past, Yun Ruyan had quickly pulled herself together.

She decided to give up the idea of competing with the two of them, focus on her own affairs, and concentrate on her Cultivation.

Now that Yun Ruyan had obtained the Legacy, this thought had been reignited.

This was a good thing. Ling Wanqing looked in the direction where Yun Ruyan had left and thought, "Master has always believed in you."

After a moment of daze, Ling Wanqing returned to her courtyard; she also needed to deepen her own strength during this period.

She would have to deal with the Demon Race members when the time came, and might even face that so-called Demon Race member who had previously fought the Innate Sword Body.

Although she had a clear understanding of her own strength, at this point in time, every bit of added strength counted.

Although those resources did not have much effect on her, they were still somewhat useful; she might as well use the remaining resources for Cultivation.

Ling Wanqing then entered a state of Cultivation.

At this moment, the Demon Race side was also preparing for this great war.

The Demon Race members were basically Cultivating and recuperating from the injuries sustained in the previous battles.

The Demon Race was the same; they all wanted to eliminate as many Human Race members as possible in the final great war.

Paving the way for the territory of the Demon Race.

Both sides were now in a tense atmosphere, and the great war between them was on the verge of breaking out.

As soon as the people on the Demon Race side were assembled and had recuperated enough.

They would begin their final offensive; for them, this would be an unprecedented great war.

Existences like those at the Golden Core or Foundation Establishment Stages could lose their lives at any moment during the great war.

All they could do was try their best to improve their strength; there was no time to think about superfluous things, as those Geniuses were Cultivating incessantly.

Let alone these ordinary Demon Race members.

Jiang Cheng and Chen An were currently preparing to receive Demon Clan members arriving from other regions today.

It was their turn, his and Chen An's, to be responsible today.

Otherwise, he would not have the leisure to waste time here.

Jiang Cheng had also made quite a few moves during this period, but very few people were going out now.

Those with high cultivation were basically all within the three sects.

Jiang Cheng had no opportunity to strike; he could not rashly head over there.

Therefore, his growth during this period had not been that fast, which made him somewhat melancholy.

Jiang Cheng could only slow down and Cultivate steadily; occasionally, this could be said to have its benefits, as it allowed him to consolidate his gains.

As soon as the great war began, Jiang Cheng would head straight for the Celestial Maiden Sect.

That was his paradise, the Foundation of his rise. "Wait for me; I will be there soon. You cannot escape."

For now, Jiang Cheng could only suppress this urge.

The Sect Master of the Celestial Maiden Sect, as well as the rumored Ling Wanqing, the Innate Furnace Body, and the Water Spirit Body.

He, Jiang Cheng, did not want to let any of them go; they were all his. These were the nourishment he dreamed of.

Although he had not seen Ling Wanqing and that Innate Furnace Body, it did not hinder his anticipation for the two.

Jiang Cheng's anticipation was maxed out; everything was ready. Moreover, the move derived from his Yin Yang Demon Pearl would also come in handy when the time came.

Jiang Cheng felt excited just thinking about it.

Jiang Cheng withdrew his thoughts and arrived at the Grand Array with Chen An.

Waiting for people from other regions to arrive at their location.

There were no existences among those arriving this time that required Jiang Cheng's special attention.

During this period, many people from the Demon Race had already arrived; the Demon Race army had grown much larger than before.

Quite a few existences at the Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation Stages had also arrived.

The batch that Jiang Cheng was to guide now only had one existence at the Soul Transformation Stage arriving.

Before long, the light of the Grand Array lit up, and a large group of people appeared within the radiance of the Grand Array.

The person in the lead saw Jiang Cheng; he knew who Jiang Cheng was.

He walked up to Jiang Cheng. "Greetings, Demon Venerable Fengling."

Jiang Cheng nodded. "You have all arrived, haven't you?"

"We have."

"Good. Follow this person beside me to the place you need to go."

"He will also explain the specific situation in the Southern Region now; if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask him."

"I will not stay here any longer; I have other matters to attend to."

Jiang Cheng then left.

At this moment, Su Yu, who was in the midst of Cultivation, sensed something, which brought joy to Su Yu.
