Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 173: New Gold Core

"Your Flying Swan Sect's wishful thinking has failed. It seems even the heavens are not on your side," Qi Nanfei chuckled with delight after Wu Mingwei's attempt to break through to the Gold Core stage failed.

"Qi Nanfei, did your Qi Family have a hand in this?" Fei Yu Daoist Master burst into anger.

"You can say whatever you like. It doesn't matter to me," Qi Nanfei shrugged.

Fei Yu Daoist Master angrily rushed towards Qi Nanfei, and the two engaged in a fierce aerial battle.

After a while, Fei Jiang Daoist Master realized that something was amiss with the Heavenly Rainfall this time. He hurriedly returned from Twin Success Valley to check on Wu Mingwei's situation. The task of pursuing Twin Success Valley's cultivators was entrusted to the Flying Swan Sect disciples.

As Fei Jiang Daoist Master urgently left, some fortunate individuals within Twin Success Valley were given a way out.

Seeing Fei Jiang Daoist Master flying back urgently from afar, Qi Nanfei let out a strange cry. "Today, there are too many of you. I won't accompany you."

Qi Nanfei soared into the sky and disappeared in the distance like lightning.

After Fei Jiang Daoist Master and Fei Yu Daoist Master joined forces, they were too preoccupied to chase after Qi Nanfei. They were busy examining Wu Mingwei's condition.

Wu Mingwei's attempt to break through to the Gold Core stage had indeed failed. He suffered heavy injuries and harmed his foundation. As for when he could recover and restore his foundation, no one knew.

Fei Yu Daoist Master was both anxious and angry to see the Gold Core seed that they had carefully cultivated in such a miserable state. How could things have turned out like this when they had made all the arrangements?

Typically, when a cultivator advances from the Foundation Building stage to the Gold Core stage, they need to undergo seclusion within a Third Rank spirit vein. Wu Mingwei did not undergo seclusion within the Flying Swan Sect's mountain gate, choosing instead to go to this remote and spiritually impoverished area for this Heavenly Rainfall.

Heavenly Rainfall occurred approximately every three hundred years and greatly increased the chances of forming a Gold Core. The abundant spiritual energy within the Tenth Water Essence could completely replace that of a Third Rank spirit vein.

In the history of the Flying Swan Sect, many predecessors had successfully formed their cores during Heavenly Rainfall.

Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master discussed and concluded that Wu Mingwei's failure to form the core was due to the dispersal of the Heavenly Rainfall, which prevented him from absorbing enough Tenth Water Essence.

"We must investigate this thoroughly and find out who is behind this sabotage!" Fei Yu Daoist Master declared firmly.

This investigation was not difficult.

Each time Heavenly Rainfall occurred, it had a certain range. An Induction Tower had to be built within this range to attract the Tenth Water Essence.

The Flying Swan Sect's experts had already determined the range of this Heavenly Rainfall, and it was not too large. The location where the Flying Swan Sect built their Induction Tower and Twin Success Valley's mountain gate both fell within this range.

A careful investigation within this range would quickly yield results.

Before the Flying Swan Sect's cultivators could start the investigation, news arrived.

Not long ago, precisely when Wu Mingwei attempted to form the core, there was a surging of spiritual energy and the convergence of a sea of spiritual essence above Forest Spring Watch. It was apparent that someone was forming their core.

Shortly after, clouds billowed above Forest Spring Watch, and golden radiance shone brightly. This was a clear sign that a cultivator had successfully formed their core.

The location of Forest Spring Watch's mountain gate also fell within the range of the Heavenly Rainfall.

Now everything was clear.

It was certain that Forest Spring Watch had learned the secret of the Heavenly Rainfall and secretly made arrangements. Taking advantage of the conflict between the Flying Swan Sect and Twin Success Valley, someone had played the role of a fisherman.

This fisherman had been exceptionally successful. Not only did they elude the Flying Swan Sect's attention, but they also manipulated Twin Success Valley to act as cannon fodder while forming their own Gold Core.

The Flying Swan Sect sprang into action.

Soon, more news came in. Guang ZhiDaoist of Forest Spring Watch, now Guang ZhiDaoist Master, had successfully formed his Gold Core.

Subsequently, the Flying Swan Sect was thrown into a state of confusion mixed with anger.

Guang ZhiDaoist Master was originally a talented disciple of Forest Spring Watch, becoming famous at a young age. He successfully reached the Foundation Building stage at a young age and smoothly cultivated to the late stage.

Over twenty years ago, Guang ZhiDaoist Master set off on an expedition to the Deadly Sea of Sand, and there was no news from him since. According to Forest Spring Watch's report, he unfortunately perished within the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Unexpectedly, Guang ZhiDaoist Master had hidden so deeply. He had even seized the opportunities from Wu Mingwei and Shan Feiyu.

Forest Spring Watch did not know where they had obtained the secret of the Heavenly Rainfall or how long they had been preparing, but they had finally made a remarkable breakthrough.

Upon learning about Guang ZhiDaoist Master, Fei Jiang Daoist Master and Fei Yu Daoist Master hurriedly set off for Forest Spring Watch. However, Guang ZhiDaoist Master had already left Forest Spring Watch at the fastest speed after forming his core.

The Endless Sea of Sand was vast, and even with a large force and numerous manpower, it was impossible to find a Gold CoreDaoist Master who wanted to remain hidden.

As Fei Jiang Daoist Master said, if they were to attack Forest Spring Watch and kill Guang ZhiDaoist Master, they might face dire consequences. A Gold CoreDaoist Master without any distractions would continuously engage in guerrilla warfare within the Flying Swan Sect's jurisdiction. Over time, the Flying Swan Sect's dominance over the Endless Sea of Sand would undoubtedly be shaken.

From then on, the three Gold CoreDaoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect would be busy guarding against Guang ZhiDaoist Master, leaving them no time for anything else.

As for using the safety of Forest Spring Watch's disciples to threaten Guang ZhiDaoist Master, that was simply wishful thinking.

Reality was not a third-rate melodramatic romance, with numerous scenes of "you want me to leave, but I refuse." Threatening someone with their loved ones was not always an effective plot. With Guang ZhiDaoist Master's character of endurance, he would never be manipulated in such a manner.
