Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Time always flies when you're cultivating, and a month has already passed since Xia Yuhui started cultivating.

Today, Xia Yuhui was practicing his Thunder and Rain Technique. He stood on a mountain peak and pointed at another mountain peak below. Instantly, countless bolts of lightning surged out behind him, pouring down like a torrential rain.

"Boom!..."

The mountain and its surroundings were instantly devastated. A dozen breaths later, Xia Yuhui stopped casting the spell. The mountain had been flattened, and the surrounding environment was riddled with holes, demonstrating the immense power of the attack.

However, after using this move, Xia Yuhui's expression became quite solemn. Although this move was extremely powerful, its drawbacks were also very obvious. That is, the range was too large, making it difficult to concentrate the attack, and it consumed a great deal of spiritual energy afterward.

Fortunately, Xia Yuhui was not only skilled in this technique. Just as he was about to try the lightning-summoning technique, a token on his waist suddenly flashed with a blue light. Xia Yuhui immediately knew that Xia Yuhua had found out some information.

Therefore, he stopped cultivating and returned to the cave to recover his spiritual energy.

Once the spiritual energy was fully restored, Xia Yuhui, along with Qingfeng and Mingyue, soared into the sky and disappeared into the distance.

Outside Panyun Market, in a quiet grove of trees, Xia Yuhui crushed the communication talisman in his hand, a faint smile appearing on his face. He had just received a message from Xia Yuhua in the market that a genius from the Akagi family had appeared there.

This was the perfect opportunity for him to make his move. With that in mind, he took out a set of blue Taoist robes from his storage bag and put on a mask. If an outsider were to see him, they would surely think that Xia Yuhui was a rogue cultivator.

As for whether he could be detected by divine sense, with his current Foundation Establishment stage divine sense, it was probably impossible for anyone other than another Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to detect him with divine sense face to face. Therefore, Xia Yuhui was very safe entering the market at this moment.

Admittedly, even if he were exposed, he wouldn't panic, since the Jin family would never provoke a Foundation Establishment cultivator without a reason.

Of course, he wouldn't disregard the Jin family just because he has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. As the overlord of Jinling County, the Jin family has always been powerful. Naturally, due to their outstanding strength, other families also subtly follow their lead.

If the Jin family is determined to do something in Jinling County, they have never failed since their rise to power, and even the Guiyun Sect has found it difficult to stop them.

After all, the Jin family not only has five Foundation Establishment cultivators on the surface, but the one with the highest cultivation level has even reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, Guiyun Sect would never dare to be too presumptuous in Jinling County.

Inside the market, Akagi Meien had just participated in a small transaction and reaped a considerable reward. Now, he was strolling contentedly down the street, looking around.

Just then, he suddenly noticed an elderly man with a hunched back walking slowly ahead.

"Father!" Akagi Akemi was stunned. The old man in front of him was actually his mortal father whom he had not seen for nearly 20 years.

"Isn't he with the family?"

"How did I end up here?" Akagi Meien's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.

He immediately stepped forward.

However, the old man continued walking forward at a leisurely pace. Surprisingly, although he seemed to move slowly, his speed was by no means slow, and he disappeared from Akagi Akira's sight in an instant.

"Father, where are you going?" Upon seeing this, Akagi Akemi instinctively called out "Father" again, and then quickly chased after him.

A dozen or so breaths later, he saw his father's back. He called out to him repeatedly, but his father seemed not to hear him and continued walking into the distance step by step.

Akame Meien could only follow closely behind, his eyes slightly red, as if something had blinded him.

After chasing for a while, Akagi Meien finally caught up with his father.

Akagi Akira said with a guilty expression, "Father, why did you come? I was planning to visit you in a few years."

His father's face was ashen. He slowly turned his head, raised his arm slightly, and passed through his chest like a ghost.

Akagi Akira's eyes were wide open. As he was dying, the surrounding environment gradually changed, turning into a quiet forest, and his old father gradually turned into a mask.

A moment later, Akagi Akane died, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. Clearly, he had never expected that he, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, would die so miserably.

The one who took his life was Xia Yuhui.

After the person died, a dark shadow slowly disappeared from Xia Yuhui's hand into Akagi Mingyuan's body. A few breaths later, Mingyue extracted a soul and used the Soul Searching Technique.

Currently, Xia Yuhui, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is unable to use the Soul Searching Technique. He can only do so once he reaches the Golden Core stage. Therefore, this matter can only be handled by Qingfeng and Mingyue.

A dozen or so breaths later, Mingyue finished the soul search and then told Xia Yuhui what she had found. Xia Yuhui's lips curled up slightly and his eyes narrowed.

The deceased was a person with two spiritual roots, the most talented person of the Akagi family in this generation. The Akagi family had high hopes for him and was even preparing to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill for him at the next auction.

However, he has now met his end at the hands of Xia Yuhui. Because of his exceptional talent, which equates to high status, this man knew many of the secrets of the Akagi family, secrets that Xia Yuhui was aware of.

However, to Xia Yuhui's surprise, no new Foundation Establishment cultivators have appeared in the Chimu family in recent years. The number remains the same, with only three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the one with the highest cultivation level has already gone to resist the beast tide.

Currently, only two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators remain in the Akagi family.

However, Xia Yuhui did not choose to target these two Foundation Establishment cultivators this time, since they had been Foundation Establishment cultivators for many years and could be considered veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators, making them not so easy to deal with.

Although he is confident of victory, it will take a long time. However, since his actions are assassinations, he cannot afford to delay, so it is difficult for him to make his move.

However, he had a better option: to seize the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Akagi family still possesses a Foundation Establishment Pill, which was acquired at the last auction. Its owner is a second-generation immortal named Akagi Minghe.

His grandfather, Akagi Yoshiten, the current highest-ranking cultivator in the Akagi family, is the Foundation Establishment cultivator who is currently resisting the beast tide.

Currently, Akagi Minghe is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and because of his inferior spiritual root, it will take him some time to advance to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Moreover, Xia Yuhui already knew the location of that Foundation Establishment Pill; it was right next to Chi Muminghe.

Originally, this Foundation Establishment Pill was kept by Akagi Yoshiten, but he has now gone to defend against the beast tide and has to leave it with the family. He originally wanted to entrust it to another Foundation Establishment cultivator, but Akagi Akira insisted on not doing so.

That makes sense. If Akagi Yoshiten had perished outside, the ownership of this Foundation Building Pill would have been uncertain. After all, without Akagi Yoshiten, this pill could never have belonged to Akagi Akira. Therefore, Akagi Akira took the pill from his grandfather.

Moreover, Chi Mu Minghe was wary of the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and foolishly moved away from the Chi Mu family's main camp to live on another spiritual mountain.

This gave Xia Yuhui an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Not far from the Akagi family's main base, Tenri Mountain, lies another sacred mountain within the Akagi family's territory.
