Free Web NovelChapter 398: Chapter 306: Nascent Soul Influence
The five Foundation Establishment disciples were led by three at Core Formation.
The number of leading Elders was the same as when the Celestial Cloud Sect had participated in the Four Sects Trial.
At that moment, Fang Yun was already aboard a small Spirit Ship.
The small Spirit Ship flew very fast, its normal speed comparable to that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
"It will take about four days to reach our destination. Go get some rest."
"Yes, Elder."
"Yes, Senior."
After bowing along with the other four, Fang Yun went to his cabin to rest.
He called it resting.
The moment he reached his quarters, Fang Yun began to refine and absorb the Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Pill.
When Elder Ruan Hanfan of the Purple Mist Sect had come to get him, he still had a little less than half of the Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Pill’s power left to absorb. Now was the perfect time to continue.
’How should I act once I enter the Land of No Master Secret Realm?’
Fang Yun had already formulated a plan after receiving the map of the Land of No Master from Ruan Hanfan.
’First, I definitely have to complete the mission the Purple Mist Sect gave me. I must obtain the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, the Celestial Spring Clear Liquid. Once that’s done, I’ll see how easy the peak Second Tier Mirror Beasts are to kill.’
’If they’re easy to kill, these peak Second Tier Mirror Beasts will all be converted into my Combat Talent Points.’
’Based on the characteristics of Mirror Beasts and my understanding of how Combat Talent Points are awarded, there’s at least a ninety-five percent chance that killing them will earn me Talent Points.’
’Then comes exploring the Land of No Master Secret Realm. I can try my luck along the way, see if I can find my own fortuitous opportunities.’
’I’ll have to be extra careful when facing peak Foundation Establishment disciples from other Nascent Soul Influences.’
’A Nascent Soul Influence is not the same as a Core Formation Influence. If I were to encounter a peak Foundation Establishment Demon from the Celestial Demon Sect, I’d attack without hesitation and take them down in a single blow.’
’The strength of any peak Foundation Establishment disciple sent by a Nascent Soul Influence to the Land of No Master Secret Realm is not to be underestimated.’
’Just look at the Purple Mist Sect’s situation—they sent the few Inner Sect Disciples with the greatest overall strength.’
’I don’t have much information on the enemy; that’s a disadvantage. The advantage is, they don’t know much about me either.’
’All in all, it’s best to be cautious after entering the Land of No Master Secret Realm. Before taking action against Demons, Blood Demons, and Ghost Cultivators, I should observe them first.’
「On the deck of the small Spirit Ship.」
After the disciples went inside to rest, the three Elders from the Purple Mist Sect began to chat.
Their conversation covered many topics, but eventually, it turned to Fang Yun.
"Elder Ruan, you know the most about this Foundation Establishment junior from the Celestial Cloud Sect. What do you think his chances are of obtaining the Celestial Spring Clear Liquid?"
The one asking the question was Han Fengwen, a late-stage Core Formation Elder of the Purple Mist Sect.
"I think..." Ruan Hanfan estimated for a moment. "There’s at least a seventy percent chance, I’d say."
"Seventy percent? That’s high! It seems you’re very confident in this junior from the Celestial Cloud Sect, Elder Ruan."
"Hahaha, there’s no way my choice could be wrong."
Ruan Hanfan smiled. Within the Purple Mist Sect, if you had to say who knew Fang Yun of the Celestial Cloud Sect best, it was undoubtedly him. He was the one who had meticulously investigated and gathered most of the information on Fang Yun.
He had arrived in the Celestial Cloud Sect’s region long before he appeared at the sect itself, all to conduct a more thorough investigation.
Without a doubt, Fang Yun was a perfect fit for their needs.
"What? Does Elder Han want to make a bet with me?"
"Forget it, I have no interest in that. You already said there’s a seventy percent chance, so what would I be betting on? If you had said there was only a fifty percent chance, then I might have taken that bet."
"If there were only a fifty percent chance, we would’ve been better off sending our own Purple Mist Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples," Ruan Hanfan said directly.
If the chance had been less than sixty percent, Fang Yun of the Celestial Cloud Sect wouldn’t be here.
The topic of Fang Yun came to a close, and they began to discuss the disciples from their own sect.
Among the four disciples from their sect, the one they placed the most hope in was undoubtedly Gao Tianxing.
They hoped that Gao Tianxing would be able to kill numerous peak Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Evil Demons and Crooked Paths within the Land of No Master Secret Realm.
Whether they were Demons, Ghost Cultivators, or Blood Demons, he should kill them all without discrimination.
The more of them he killed, the fewer enemies they would have to face at the Core Formation realm in the future.
Since they were thinking this way, their enemies surely were too. Therefore, the weaker disciples had to be especially careful about their safety.
...
「Four days later.」
Fang Yun spent almost the entire time in his cabin.
Lin Ke came to find him once, and they chatted for a while before she left. The rest of the time, he spent cultivating alone.
Thanks to the Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Pill, his Cultivation had improved considerably over these past few days, and he was drawing ever closer to the peak of late-stage Foundation Establishment.
"Fang Yun, we’re almost there. Are you still cultivating?"
Lin Ke’s voice came from outside.
"Not anymore."
Keeping track of the time, Fang Yun had stopped refining the pill. After his usual period of cultivation, he had spent the remaining time reading. He was going through the Cultivation Miscellaneous Books he had brought from the Celestial Cloud Sect but hadn’t yet had a chance to read.
After calling out a response, Fang Yun closed his book and left the cabin.
"Come with me."
"Alright."
Lin Ke called for Fang Yun first, then for the other three Inner Sect Disciples from the Purple Mist Sect.
Gao Tianxing was the last to be called.
The five of them, now together again, arrived on the deck. The three Elders from the Purple Mist Sect were already standing at the prow, their eyes fixed on the distance.
After coming out onto the deck, Fang Yun began to observe the distant surroundings.
The Land of No Master Secret Realm was located within the territory of the Celestial Ghost Mansion, a Nascent Soul Influence of Ghost Cultivators.
Even from high up in the air, Fang Yun could feel the gloomy atmosphere, thick with Yin Qi.
"It would be much better if the Land of No Master Secret Realm was in our Purple Mist Sect’s territory. I don’t like this place at all," Lin Ke complained.
