Chapter 78 No matter which direction the wind blows, I will not be moved by my cultivation.

Chapter 78: Let the Winds Blow, I Shall Cultivate Steadily

Two streams of light rapidly flew out of Cloud Python Mountain.

After overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhang Yuhe and the others did not linger, but chose to return directly.

He was not injured, so he did not need to rest.

After flying out of the Cloud Python Mountain Range, Zhang Yuhe even specifically went to a few surrounding cities and circled them.

He found that there was no beast tide this time.

Perhaps the previous Heavenly Tribulation had scared the Yao Beasts in the Cloud Python Mountain Range.

Those High Grade Yao Beasts might have already migrated to other places, far from Thunder Lake.

As for the weaker Yao Beasts, they were already so terrified by the Heavenly Tribulation that they lay prostrate on the ground, unable to move.

Naturally, they could not start another beast tide.

This was good, it saved some trouble.

The two of them flew forward quickly.

Along the way, Li Tian remained silent.

Seeing Zhang Yuhe’s cultivation advance so bravely and rapidly, breaking through to Body Integration so quickly.

And facing the terrifying Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, Zhang Yuhe remained completely unharmed.

Thinking of these things, Li Tian felt a sense of longing.

“This is how Cultivating the Dao should be.”

Li Tian secretly resolved that he must Cultivate even harder in the future.

He felt that Zhang Yuhe’s rapid Breakthrough was certainly due to his Heaven-Defying Aptitude.

But more importantly, he was diligent enough.

Aside from secluded Cultivation, Zhang Yuhe never did anything meaningless.

Unlike other Cultivators who would become arrogant and ostentatious with even a slight Breakthrough.

Some even celebrated grandly when they successfully refined a Magic Treasure.

Who would be like Zhang Yuhe, who had only been Cultivating the Dao for just over two hundred years and had already broken through to the Body Integration Realm, yet remained so calm?

There was no joy of Breakthrough at all, and no ostentatious actions.

Suddenly, Li Tian asked Zhang Yuhe.

“Junior Martial Uncle Zhang, the Sect Master ordered the establishment of Demon Suppression Armies in various places, do you know about this?”

“I know.”

Li Tian’s address of “Junior Martial Uncle” made Zhang Yuhe a little unaccustomed.

If Li Tian called him Junior Martial Uncle, what should he call Li Tian?

Should he call him Junior Martial Nephew Li?

It felt a bit strange.

“What does Junior Martial Uncle think about this matter?”

“What else is there to think? Cultivate diligently. No matter what the future holds, strength is the foundation of one’s standing.”

Zhang Yuhe responded indifferently.

Feng Xiaotian’s order to establish Demon Suppression Armies in various places clearly indicated that something big was about to happen.

Perhaps the Dao Saint Sect had received intelligence that the Demon Race might be invading in full force?

That was why Feng Xiaotian made this move.

Moreover, from some other details, one could also get a general idea.

For example, the Dao Saint Sect suddenly comprehensively strengthened its efforts to train its Disciples.

The annual merit points for Inner Sect Disciples changed from one merit point per year to five merit points.

If they went out to serve as a Town Guardian Envoy, it was ten merit points per year.

The merit points that Outer Sect Disciples could obtain by doing missions also significantly increased.

However, the items exchanged with merit points did not increase in price.

Not only that, according to the information provided by Wang Guofeng.

Things that were originally unavailable outside, such as High Grade Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities.

Now, as long as there were enough Spirit Stones, they could also be bought.

All signs indicated that Feng Xiaotian was trying every possible way to enhance the overall strength of the Cultivators in Yu Fan Heaven.

As for why he would do this.

There was only one reason: Yu Fan Heaven was about to face a great calamity.

It was precisely because of this that Feng Xiaotian spared no effort in trying to strengthen the overall power of Yu Fan Heaven.

Combined with the Demon God Sect’s actions of continuously instigating two demonic disasters a while ago.

It was easy to draw a conclusion.

Perhaps the Demon Clan Army was really coming soon.

The storm is brewing, and the wind fills the tower.

The great calamity of one hundred thousand years ago might soon repeat itself.

Hearing Zhang Yuhe’s words, Li Tian admired him even more.

Let the winds blow from all directions, I shall Cultivate steadily.

As long as one Cultivates to be strong enough.

No storm, no matter how big, is a problem.

…

After a while, the two quickly returned to the Dao Saint Sect.

They left quietly and returned quietly.

The entire Dao Saint Sect was completely unaware that another Body Integration Realm Elder had been added to the Sect.

Zhang Yuhe did not intentionally want to be low-key.

His nature was simply like that.

It was just a Breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm, there was no need to be ostentatious.

After returning to his Immortal Cave.

Zhang Yuhe first upgraded his Lifebound Treasure to a High Grade Tongtian Spirit Treasure.

Then he re-refined the Formation Plate and Formation Flag required for the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array.

He had already prepared the Materials.

A few days later.

Zhang Yuhe walked out of the Artifact Refining Room and slowly sat down on the Cultivation platform.

With a wave of his right hand, five Spirit Qi-infused Formation Flags flew in all directions.

He took out the Formation Plate and activated the Level 3 Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array.

According to the description on the Jade Slip, the Level 3 Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array could increase Cultivation speed by five times.

“I hope I can Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm sooner.”

Zhang Yuhe muttered to himself.

Yu Fan Heaven was about to face a great calamity.

As an Elder of the Dao Saint Sect, he naturally could not stand idly by.

Although Zhang Yuhe was a player from Blue Star, he could completely choose to go offline and avoid it.

But he had no such thought at all.

The Dao Saint Sect provided him with an excellent Cultivation environment, so he should fight for the Sect.

This was a responsibility, and also a Karma.

If he chose to go offline and avoid it, his thoughts would probably be difficult to achieve clarity.

Simply put, his mind would not be at peace.

Cultivators of the Dao pursue great freedom.

If one’s mind is not at peace, one cannot be free.

Then what is the use of Cultivating the Dao?

Zhang Yuhe sat cross-legged on the Cultivation platform.

As the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture operated, the surrounding Spiritual Qi rapidly surged and gathered into his Dantian.

The five-fold Cultivation effect was indeed very powerful.

However, after a while, Zhang Yuhe opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

“Is Cultivation in the Body Integration Realm really this slow?”

Through his recent Cultivation, he made a rough estimate.

Even with the Level 3 Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array’s augmentation, it might still take eight or nine hundred years to Cultivate to Body Integration Great Perfection.

It was too long.

He wondered if he could Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm before the Demon Clan Army arrived?

The path of Cultivation is one step, one heaven; the further one Cultivates, the harder it becomes.

Zhang Yuhe had only been Cultivating for a little over two hundred years in total.

However, it would take eight or nine hundred years to Breakthrough from Body Integration to the Mahayana Realm.

Of course, this was just his rough estimate and not necessarily accurate.

And this did not even account for the time spent stuck at a Bottleneck.

Because he felt that there should be no Bottleneck in the Body Integration Realm.

“Let’s take it slow, I hope there’s enough time.”

Zhang Yuhe collected his thoughts and continued to Cultivate silently.

…

Time slowly passed.

Every few decades, the Demon God Sect still set up Tiangang Breaking Boundary Great Formations in various places, attempting to open temporary passages connecting the two realms.

However, each time a passage opened, the Demon Suppression Armies in various places quickly reacted.

They swiftly annihilated the descending Demon Race, basically without causing too much disturbance.

There was even one instance where the Demon God Sect hadn’t even had time to open the passage.

They were discovered by the regularly patrolling Demon Suppression Army.

A great battle instantly erupted.

Lu Mingfang, upon receiving the report, quickly rushed to the scene.

He displayed Divine Might, easily killing a Void Refining Demon Race member with his Body Integration Great Perfection Cultivation.

Zhao Mingyue’s Incarnation also failed to escape this time.

After losing another Void Refining Demon Race member.

The Demon God Sect’s actions slowly subsided.
