165 The Reappearance of Venerable Xunling
Ling Qingyun had already exhausted all the resources of the five sects. She had gathered all the cultivators that could be of use in the world, either through rewards or appointments, and together, they had launched the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array which was operated by more than 100,000 cultivators!
Ten days ago, Ling Qingyun had already returned to Spirit Valley. She took out an item from the sect leader’s hall, which was the most important place in Spirit Valley, and then waited outside Zhou Yun’s cave abode.
Ling Qingyun had already made all the necessary preparations. Next, they only needed to wait for the peerless genius, Zhou Yun, to come out of seclusion and strike with the last sword strike. Then, everything would be over!
“Sect leader, how long will Brother Zhou Yun be in seclusion?” Qiao’er couldn’t wait any longer and couldn’t help but ask Ling Qingyun.
For ordinary cultivators, breaking through from the mid to the late-stage foundation establishment might not take long, and they would often go into seclusion for years.
However, when it came to breaking through realms, a mere foundation establishment stage didn’t take too long. Ordinary cultivators only needed a few days, ten days at most. Even Qiao’er had only used a short 15 days to break through to the golden core stage.
Zhou Yun had actually taken more than a month! This made Qiao’er worried.
“Zhou Yun is a proud son of the heavens, much less in our small world. Perhaps in the outside world, he would be a heaven’s favorite that could shock a region. Therefore, his breakthrough is naturally different from ordinary people. Don’t you worry.” Ling Qingyun comforted Qiao’er. However, she couldn’t help but clench her fists.
Zhou Yun was the most important person in this battle. If not for Zhou Yun, even Ling Qingyun didn’t have much confidence in activating the sword Qi in that old sword!
Qiao’er’s mood was much better after hearing Ling Qingyun’s words. However, she still clenched her fists and prayed for Zhou Yun.
There were only a few disciples left in Spirit Valley.
They were in charge of maintaining the most basic operations of Spirit Valley. Other than that, all the disciples were sent to the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array by Ling Qingyun.
The huge Spirit Valley seemed a bit deserted at this time.
In Spirit Valley, there was almost no one other than the dozen or so golden core cultivators guarding Zhou Yun’s cave!
Even the entrance of Spirit Valley was wide open without any handyman disciples guarding it!
“Thud!” Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs below the valley entrance.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the valley, and then a figure slowly appeared from the distance.
It was a black figure wearing a black robe and a veil.
If there were any ordinary cultivators here, they would definitely exclaim in shock at Venerable Xunling.
Even Zhou Yun would be surprised if he saw this figure!
One must know that from the beginning of all this, it involved Venerable Xunling!
Zhou Yun had always been suspicious of the true identity of Venerable Xunling.
Could this mysterious being, who had a powerful cultivation technique and was constantly supporting this heaven’s favorite, be one of the cultivators who had been locked up in this world?
Furthermore, Xin Yu had set up quite a number of spiritual corpses from the start. Even the original purpose of capturing Zhou Yun was to lure out Venerable Xunling!
The goal of the five sects was to eliminate Xin Yu and then escape from this world!
Zhou Yun did not know what Xin Yu’s plan was. He couldn’t think of any way that could allow Xin Yu to leave this world safely!
The only thing Zhou Yun could think of was Venerable Xunling!
Zhou Yun had never expected that Venerable Xunling would appear at Spirit Valley at this time!
“Thud!” Venerable Xunling’s footsteps were very slow, but his direction was extremely firm. He was approaching the cave abode where Zhou Yun was in seclusion.
Qiao’er, who was worriedly praying for Zhou Yun, seemed to have sensed something. However, she only wrinkled her nose and continued to pray for Zhou Yun.
Even Xin Yu couldn’t deal with Venerable Xunling, so Ling Qingyun naturally didn’t have the ability to sense that Venerable Xunling had already arrived in Spirit Valley.
Just as Zhou Yun was in seclusion, Venerable Xunling finally made his way to the cave abode where Zhou Yun was in seclusion. He was behind Qiao’er and Ling Qingyun!
“Watch out!” A voice suddenly rang out.
In an instant, Ling Qingyun’s face was covered in frost. Waving the spiritual sword in her hand, she turned around and pointed it. The blade of the sword didn’t tremble at all as it was pointed directly at Venerable Xunling’s head!
In the next moment, Venerable Xunling was surrounded by several golden core elders! On the surrounding buildings, there were many golden core stage disciples surrounding the formation, guarding the surroundings!
“Who are you? Why did you break into Spirit Valley at this time? If I’m not mistaken, the five sects have already issued a decree that no cultivators or forces are allowed to go out for the next three months. If anyone disobeys, the five sects will kill them!” Ling Qingyun’s face was frosty as she was secretly shocked. Just a moment ago, she had not sensed that someone had actually come so close to her!
If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party released his aura, Ling Qingyun suspected that she might have been killed by him before she could even react.
Ling Qingyun glared at Venerable Xunling. Where did such an expert come from? With such powerful strength, was he at the perfected golden core stage? Or was it the legendary nascent soul stage? Why was there no trace of this person in the previous records?
“Venerable Xunling! Why are you here?” Qiao’er exclaimed. She hurriedly explained to Ling Qingyun, “Venerable Xunling is a cultivator in the Treasure Pavilion. He’s a loner who specializes in providing magical items and manuals to the heaven’s favorite experts and cultivating them.”
“Even Brother Zhou Yun’s Fire Dragon Sword and cultivation technique were provided by Venerable Xunling. If I remember correctly, if Brother Zhou Yun breaks through to the golden core stage, Venerable Xunling will definitely appear by his side.” Qiao’er explained.
Hearing this, the guard on Ling Qingyun’s face dropped a little. However, she still had the elders keep an eye on Venerable Xunling.
After all, Zhou Yun was the most important person right now. There must not be any mistakes!
“Since you’ve appeared, doesn’t that mean that Brother Zhou Yun did not break through to the late-stage foundation establishment, but directly into the golden core stage?” Qiao’er exclaimed in surprise. She looked at Zhou Yun’s cave abode with great joy. It was as if Zhou Yun’s breakthrough to the golden core stage was even more joyous than her own breakthrough!
Venerable Xunling did not say anything. He looked at the happy Qiao’er, then shifted his gaze to Zhou Yun’s cave.
“He actually broke through to the golden core stage directly. That’s good too. His foundation establishment stage is already so terrifying. If Zhou Yun reaches the golden core stage, then his chances of winning will increase.” Ling Qingyun was a little surprised. He had not expected Zhou Yun to choose to break through to the golden core stage directly.
“Boom!” All of a sudden, a deafening boom that sounded like the ground was shaking came from Zhou Yun’s cave abode.
Then, the door to Zhou Yun’s cave opened and a strong and handsome figure slowly walked out.
That figure was Zhou Yun, who had just finished his closed-door cultivation!
