Chapter 168: Contempt

Chapter 168: Contempt

A few days before Twin Success Valley was annihilated, this story takes place. It is set in a mountainous region several hundred miles away from Twin Success Valley and over a thousand miles from Forest Spring Watch.

About a month ago, this place turned into a bustling construction site. First, several Foundation Building experts from the Flying Swan Sect, along with a large group of disciples, cordoned off the area, forbidding any cultivators from approaching. Shortly after, two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect, Master Fei Yu and Master Fei Jiang, arrived with a large number of followers.

It was rare for three Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect to mobilize like this, along with many disciples. They began constructing a peculiar-looking tower on the mountaintop based on specific blueprints. The main material used in building the tower was carefully refined white hidden earth, which was transported by several Second Rank flying boats.

After toiling for half a month, the disciples of the Flying Swan Sect completed the tower's construction. They then inscribed runes and added various magic tools on it according to the blueprints. Once all the tasks were finished with significant manpower and resources, Daoist Masters Fei Yu and Fei Jiang personally inspected the tower, making sure there were no flaws.

With the tower completed, the disciples of the Flying Swan Sect dispersed, setting up a tight defensive formation around the area to prevent outsiders from approaching. Meanwhile, Daoist Masters Fei Yu and Fei Jiang went to the top of the tower, where a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor named Wu Mingwei was already seated. He was Flying Swan Sect's most outstanding talented disciple and the chosen Gold Core seed among the three Gold Core Daoist Masters.

In a few days, Wu Mingwei would embark on his journey to break through to the Gold Core stage on this tower.

"Respects to the two masters," Wu Mingwei stood up and respectfully saluted.

"Mingwei, how do you feel?" Daoist Master Fei Yu asked kindly.

"I only feel calm and clear, with no flaws in my Daoist heart," Wu Mingwei replied in a plain tone.

"That's good, that's good. Mingwei, you should wait here in peace for the next few days and not be distracted by external affairs," Daoist Master Fei Yu expressed his relief.

In his view, Wu Mingwei's accumulation was already sufficient. He had completed his Foundation Building cultivation base, and his physical body, soul, and true qi were all perfect. His Daoist heart was as solid as a rock, meeting all the conditions for becoming a Gold Core cultivator. Everything was in place, and they were just waiting for the opportune moment for Wu Mingwei to form the Gold Core successfully.

"Secondly, Mingwei's core formation is imminent, and I don't want any disturbances. Whatever Twin Success Valley's situation is, we'll deal with it after Mingwei forms the core."

Fei JiangDaoist Master frowned slightly and added, "A few days ago, I received a report from a disciple. Twin Success Valley activated their sect-protecting great formation three days ago, sealing off the entire sect. Do you think they would attempt core formation at a time like this?"

Fei YuDaoist Master sneered, "If only forming the core were that easy. Those ignorant fools are laughable. It's already extremely difficult for our Flying Swan Sect, with our heritage and resources, to nurture a Gold Core cultivator. If not for the residual influence of Purple Gold Sect, we wouldn't dare to say we wouldn't have experienced a failure in producing Gold Core cultivators."

"Twin Success Valley, a mere Foundation Building sect, wants to nurture Gold Core cultivators. It's ridiculous. Do they even know the secret methods to break through to the Gold Core stage? Do they have enough resources? Rushing forward in ignorance will only lead to painful consequences."

As a Gold Core Daoist Master himself, Fei YuDaoist Master understood how challenging it was to form a Gold Core. Personal talent, effort, and fortuitous encounters were all necessary.

Fei YuDaoist Master had already concluded that Twin Success Valley couldn't possibly nurture a Gold Core cultivator, so he chose to ignore the matter, focusing on suppressing Twin Success Valley to maintain Flying Swan Sect's authority and remind all forces in Endless Sea of Sand who the true master was.

Fei JiangDaoist Master, with a background as a mortal martial cultivator who later stepped into the Dao, had a more comprehensive perspective. He said, "We shouldn't fear ten thousand things but the one in a million. I'm still a bit uneasy."

"Alright then, you stay here. Since Twin Success Valley isn't far from here, I'll take the trouble to go and see if there's any problem there," Fei YuDaoist Master decided.

Fei YuDaoist Master's thoughts were focused on Wu Mingwei's core formation. Originally, he didn't want to handle Twin Success Valley's situation at this moment. However, Fei JiangDaoist Master volunteered, and he couldn't reject him outright.

"Alright, you go then. Hurry back and don't delay matters here," Fei YuDaoist Master replied.
