Chapter 892: Chapter 379: The Strategy of Spirit Vein, The Destruction of Fenyan Sect_1

In the hall.

Zhuge Wu You noticed the moment of relaxation in Han Yi’s expression and knew that this legendary figure from the sect cared deeply for Yuan Shun. His inner heart relaxed as well, realizing that this was still the same cultivator who held deep affection for the sect.

Lian Tingxi took over the conversation.

“Actually, more than a decade ago, I have asked cultivators from the Beidou Immortal Palace about Han Yi’s status in the Immortal Realm and learned of his far-reaching reputation.”

“Back then, Han Yi, at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, stood out in the Changsheng Fairy Meeting in the Immortal Realm, ranking highly.”

“However, I wouldn’t have imagined that Han Yi could cross the great chasm of the Divine Infant stage and advance to the Spirit Transformation so quickly.”

...

“This is a great blessing for Xuandan Sect.”

Shen Ping, who was sitting on the side, also nodded in agreement.

However, the matter he was concerned with was more pragmatic. Compared to Lian Tingxi, his relationship with Han Yi was closer. For certain matters, there was no need for beating around the bush.

“Indeed, it is a great blessing.”

“However, the rebuilding of the sect also presents many difficulties and obstacles. Now that Han Yi has returned, there are certain issues that I hope he can resolve.”

Shen Ping’s expression remained solemn, though not overly austere, demonstrating the importance he placed on these matters.

Han Yi laughed and said: “Elder Brother Shen, are you worried that I will leave the sect again?”

“Rest assured, now that I have returned, I will only consider leaving once all issues that the sect cannot resolve are properly dealt with.”

Han Yi didn’t feel the least bit upset about Shen Ping’s words. Quite the contrary, he had deep respect for Shen Ping.

Shen Ping kept his face straight and continued as Han Yi revealed his thoughts.

“The most significant matter is, of course, the issue regarding the Spiritual Vein at the Mountain Gate.”

“This place is a convergence of fourth-stage Spiritual Veins, far from enough for the elders of the sect to cultivate. This concerns the long-term development of the sect, and is the most critical issue.”

After a pause, a flash of cold light crossed Shen Ping’s eyes.

“Besides that, there’s the issue of the three Nascent Soul Sects in the Da Zhuang Mountain Range. Over the past two years, the three Nascent Soul Great Sects have been investigating our Xuandan Sect in secret, using both overt and covert means.”

“Now that Junior Disciple Han has returned, it’s high time we stop these sects from acting presumptuously. Isn’t it reasonable for Xuandan Sect, now a Spirit Transformation Sect, to be the sole occupant of Da Zhuang Mountain Range?”

As Shen Ping said ‘Isn’t it reasonable’, an aura of dominance radiated from him.

His words also received approval from Zhuge Wu You and Lian Tingxi.

Han Yi was not surprised.

In the world of cultivation, the struggle for power is the norm, and there is no such thing as neighborly harmony. The more powerful ones naturally occupy more and better resources. The weak can maintain themselves by retreating automatically. If they insist on resisting, it is akin to throwing an egg against a rock, a sure path to doom.

To bring the Xuandan Sect to its current situation, not one among Zhuge Wu You, Lian Tingxi, or Shen Ping could be said to be overly compassionate.

In fact, their thoughts did not conflict with Han Yi’s original plan for the Spiritual Veins.

Han Yi’s original intention was to directly cultivate a seventh-order Spiritual Vein or transplant a seventh-order Spiritual Vein from elsewhere.

Although this plan would require more resources, it would be much faster than gathering many fourth and fifth stage Spiritual Veins from Da Zhuang Mountain Range to upgrade them to the sixth stage, and then cultivate them further.

With Shen Ping having said what he did, Han Yi thought for a moment and nodded.

“My plan is actually to transplant a seventh-order Spiritual Vein directly under the mountain gate, which is much easier.”

“As for the matter of Da Zhuang Mountain Range, you can handle it yourselves. If there are any problems, I will step in.”

As soon as Han Yi’s words came out, the three people in the hall trembled.

“A seventh-order Spiritual Vein?” The surprise in Lian Tingxi’s eyes was evident as he called out.

Zhuge Wu You and Shen Ping also stared unblinkingly at Han Yi.

Han Yi laughed: “No need to be so taken aback.”

“I will figure out the Spiritual Veins, but at the very least it must be seventh-order.”

Han Yi wasn’t exaggerating.

In the world of cultivation, spiritual veins are the foundation of a sect. Normally, a fifth-order or sixth-order Spiritual Vein could provide for the cultivation of a nascent soul cultivator, while only a seventh-order Spiritual Vein could be of use to a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

If a Spirit Transformation cultivator tries to cultivate on a Spiritual Vein of less than seventh-order, there might even be negative effects due to the low level of the Spiritual Vein.

According to the rules of the cultivation world, the seventh, eighth, and ninth-stage Spiritual Veins are all within the domain of Spirit Transformation cultivators for cultivation. When it reaches the Half-Immortal level, a half-immortal class Spiritual Vein is required, and when one becomes an Immortal, one needs an Immortal Vein for cultivation.

The Xuandan Sect had made this place a convergence of fourth-order Spiritual Veins only as a temporary measure. If it weren’t for Han Yi’s return, they would try to upgrade the Spiritual Vein to the fifth-order, limited by the main vein beneath the Da Zhuang Mountain Range. Afterwards, if there’s a chance, they would pay a heavy price to further upgrade the Spiritual Vein to the sixth-order.

Of course, the target of sixth-order is a pretty long-term goal.

However, the situation has once again changed. With Han Yi’s return and a Spirit Transformation cultivator anchoring the sect, the target naturally has to be set higher. Considering that Han Yi must be in the early stages of Spirit Transformation as he has just ascended, they cautiously planned to aim for sixth-order as the target.

What they did not expect was that Han Yi directly set the seventh-order Spiritual Vein as the bottom line, which was the cause of their surprise.

The trio exchanged glances. In addition to being stunned, they also expressed some worries. Eventually, it was Zhuge Wu You, being the senior most among them, who carefully advised:

“Junior Disciple Han, we must act according to our abilities and avoid recklessness.”

“The development of the sect and the elevation of Spiritual Veins are long-term matters, and there’s no need to be impatient.”

Zhuge Wu You was worried that Han Yi would act recklessly. Although he knew about Han Yi’s superior combat abilities, having battled several levels above his cultivation level back in Yu Heng Realm, he didn’t know much about Han Yi’s current state as it had been over six decades since his last return. Naturally, caution would be prudent.
