Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Besides the influence of the Cai and Chimu families, another important factor in the decline of the Xia family was the Guiyun Sect.

A hundred years ago, when Xia Jiaqiang was in the same period, there were five Foundation Establishment cultivators, and one of them was an exceptionally talented person who served as an elder in the sect.

At that time, he had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment and held great power within the sect.

Having seized power, he naturally looked after the family, which flourished under his leadership, nearly annexing the Cai family. However, he later seemed to have infringed upon the interests of the Guiyun Sect.

He was suppressed in every way within the sect. Several years later, this genius cultivator, Xia Wenpeng, was sent to a dangerous place to guard a mine. In the end, he was besieged by hostile forces and unfortunately perished.

Since his death, the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family have been repeatedly hunted down when they go out. After killing down to only two Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Cai family took the initiative to attack the Xia family, but still could not shake its foundation.

However, a few years later, for some unknown reason, the Akagi family, which had been frequently linked with the Xia family through marriage and had a harmonious relationship, suddenly joined forces with the Cai family and turned against the Xia family.

In the end, the Xia family could only offer various resources, such as shops, mines, and small spiritual veins, to sue for peace. In the end, both families stopped attacking each other because they feared a counterattack from the Xia family in their final moments. However, they have continued to provoke trouble at every turn for nearly fifty years.

However, they still showed no intention of letting the Xia family go, which was truly a wolf's ambition.

When Jin Yushu saw Xia Yuhui, she looked thoughtful, then realized that she had gone too far off topic and quickly changed the subject.

"Fellow Daoist Xia has achieved great success at a young age and possesses profound cultivation. He must have some unique cultivation techniques."

Xia Yuhui: "I am ashamed to say that I was just lucky to learn the art of weapon crafting. Now, I am only just able to skillfully craft low-grade magic weapons."

"Fellow Daoist Xia is truly a great talent. I have tried seven or eight different cultivation techniques, but in the end I only ended up as a spirit plant cultivator. Moreover, my talent in this field is really shallow, and it is impossible for me to continue cultivating."

Xia Yuhui: "Don't be discouraged by limitations. When I first started refining weapons, I was just like you, Fairy. But as long as you practice more, you will surely achieve something in the future."

"Since you have such abilities, then when I purchase magical artifacts from you in the future, you mustn't cheat me!"

"It's easy to talk about."

And so the two chatted casually, but since it was their first meeting, the topics they discussed were rather superficial.

When they felt they had talked enough, the two returned. As they went back, a huge flying spaceship appeared in the sky, hovering there and constantly emitting spiritual energy fluctuations.

When Xia Yuhui returned to the place, the Jin family had already left, leaving only the three Xia family cultivators who were meditating.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, I'll be returning now." After seeing her clansmen leave, Jin Yushu bowed to Xia Yuhui and went back as well.

Just as Xia Yuhui arrived in front of Xia Guangzheng and the other two, Yang Qilin's voice suddenly came from afar, "Everyone! The spaceship has arrived, board the ship immediately."

Upon hearing this, everyone flew into the spaceship together.

After Xia Yuhui and his three companions flew to the spaceship, an outer disciple came up to them and said, "Senior brother, fellow Daoists, please tell me your names so I can arrange rooms for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately reported their names to the person. The outer disciple then took out four tokens and handed them to the four people one by one.

"Senior brother, fellow Daoists, these are the keys to your rooms. Simply infuse them with your magic power, and the tokens will guide you to your rooms and open the doors. Without the keys, outsiders cannot open them."

After saying this, the man walked towards the other cultivators.

Xia Guangzheng: "Now that you have obtained the tokens, go to your rooms and rest. If anything happens, do not rush to resolve it yourself; wait until you come to me."

The three nodded and quickly searched for their rooms. This airship was the exclusive property of the Guiyun Sect, priceless, capable of carrying numerous people, and possessing remarkable speed and defense. However, due to the extremely high cost of forging this airship, even a behemoth like the Guiyun Sect had only forged a dozen or so.

After Xia Yuhui found his room, he immediately opened the door with his token, then closed it, and subsequently set up a simple defensive array around it. Of course, its main purpose was for vigilance, since defensive arrays require a considerable amount of spirit stones.

After setting up the formation, Xia Yuhui sat on the bed and began to meditate. Although the journey to the Northern Frontier was long, requiring passage through three prefectures and deep into the Northern Frontier, the spaceship was extremely fast and did not require any rest or repairs. Therefore, the journey would take less time than when Xia Yuhui and his group arrived at Guiyun Sect, only a little over a month.

In the past month or so, it was clearly difficult to make significant breakthroughs in cultivation, so Xia Yuhui had to devote his time to other things, such as the Golden Light Sword Technique he had recently acquired. This sword technique was extremely powerful once mastered, but its difficulty in cultivation had also increased by a level, so Xia Yuhui needed to spend more time on it.

After meditating and cultivating for several hours, Xia Yuhui immediately took out the sword manual and examined it carefully.

Time flies, and nearly two months have passed.

In the northern frontier, Xia Yuhui gazed at the scenery below the boat, his heart surging with emotion.

This place is rich in spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to cultivators. However, it also provides an excellent living environment for demonic beasts. The Northern Frontier contains many undeveloped resources, such as various mineral veins and some low-level spiritual veins.

This is why cultivators, once they find an opportunity, will attack the Northern Frontier, attempting to seize it for themselves. The Guiyun Sect, established a thousand years ago, arose in this very way. At that time, humans and demonic beasts fought fiercely, and ultimately, the strongest humans emerged victorious.

The founder of Guiyun Sect came from the inland and established the sect here.

However, in the last hundred years, the power of demonic beasts has gradually increased, and they have reclaimed many territories. On the reclaimed territories, cultivators naturally fled instantly, while mortals, due to their slow movement, became food for the demonic beasts.

According to Xia Yuhui's observation, the humans around him seem to have the intention to continue attacking the northern frontier, but he does not know the strength of the humans around him.

His greatest worry was that the human race would attack the northern frontier, only to be directly repelled by the native demonic beasts. In that case, not only would they be unable to occupy any territory, but even the areas near the northern frontier, such as Guiyun Sect, would fall into the territory of the demonic beasts, and the millions of mortals in these places would immediately become their prey.

The place where Xia Yuhui was located was called the Red Cloud Immortal Cultivation Realm. This place was vast and boundless. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need nearly fifty years to traverse the Red Cloud Immortal Cultivation Realm. This shows just how vast the Red Cloud Immortal Cultivation Realm was.

The Red Cloud Cultivation World is mainly composed of five forces: the human race occupies the central and eastern regions, the demon race controls the northern frontier, the western grasslands are controlled by the Ink people, and the southern islands are a chaotic land inhabited by both humans and sea demons. However, the humans there are not the same as those here; they are mostly composed of rogue cultivators and evil cultivators.

These people are all bloodthirsty and their cultivation techniques are all demonic and evil, making it extremely easy for them to suffer from qi deviation. Therefore, cultivators in the central region often despise them.

Although there are also demonic sects in the central and eastern regions, these sects are not only ancient but also powerful.

Those who consider themselves righteous dare not make any unwarranted comments about these demonic sects.
