202: North Cold Sea

However, even with Hanji Mountain's profound Cultivation, he was still overwhelmed by the ferocious and numerous Yao Beasts of the Nether Sea Region.

The battle raged for decades, countless Cultivators in the Glacial Domain died and were injured, and the Yao Beasts in the sea also suffered heavy losses, but Netherworld demonic beasts continued to pour in from the depths of the sea, seemingly endless.

When Lin Feng heard this news, his heart grew even more anxious.

He understood that if the Glacial Domain could not withstand the Netherworld demonic beasts' attack, then the Blue Sea Region would likely face an even grimmer fate.

Lin Feng decided he could no longer wait; he had to quickly enhance the Sect's strength and prepare for the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts' assault.

Thus, he increased the supply of Medicinal Pills to the Sect's Disciples, allowing them to rapidly improve their Cultivation and combat power.

At the same time, he also accelerated the pace of Alchemy and talisman crafting, hoping to prepare enough Medicinal Pills for healing and restoring Magic Power, as well as defensive and offensive talismans for the Sect before the Netherworld demonic beasts attacked.

Furthermore, Lin Feng began to contact other Sects, hoping to unite and collectively resist the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts.

He knew that only by standing united could they repel the Netherworld demonic beasts' attack.

However, the other Sects were not enthusiastic about Lin Feng's proposal.

They worried that engaging in battle with the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts would result in heavy losses and that victory was not guaranteed.

Therefore, most of them chose to observe and remain neutral.

Lin Feng felt deeply disappointed and helpless about this.

At this time, Cold Mountain Sect Sect Master Hanji Mountain also dispatched many Cultivators to various sea regions in the Northern Cold Sea Region, and even to the Demon Spirit Continent, to seek aid, but only a handful responded.

Lin Feng did not agree on behalf of the Qingyun Sect either, but instead checked the Cultivation of the Sect's Disciples; at this time, there were many Foundation Establishment Disciples, but most were Early Stage Foundation Establishment, with only a few in the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

At this time, only his two Disciples, Li Xuan and Lan Yudao, as well as Yun Yi, had reached the Peak Late-Stage Foundation Establishment and were ready to advance to the Golden Core Realm.

Lin Feng still had the Medicinal Pills left from his own advancement to Golden Core, the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Golden Core Pill. Lin Feng bestowed the Medicinal Pills upon the three, hoping to help them successfully advance to Golden Core. However, Lin Feng also knew that relying solely on the strength of these Disciples was far from enough.

Nevertheless, this was all they could do for now. Lin Feng decided to let the three advance to Golden Core first, and he would act as their Protector.

Under Lin Feng's protection, Li Xuan, Lan Yudao, and Yun Yi began their secluded Cultivation to break through to the Golden Core Realm. They sat cross-legged, closed their eyes in concentration, and fully immersed themselves in Cultivation. Lin Feng stood by, vigilantly watching the surroundings to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

Time quietly passed, and the Immortal Cave was silent, save for the faint breathing of the three and the sound of Magic Power circulating within their bodies. Lin Feng silently prayed, hoping they would successfully advance to Golden Core and add strength to the Sect.

Finally, after several months of arduous Cultivation, Li Xuan was the first to open his eyes. His Aptitude was the best among the three, thus he was the first to advance to the Golden Core Realm. His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he felt a surge of powerful energy within him. He stood up and stretched his limbs, hearing the distinct cracking sound of his bones.

Immediately after, Lan Yudao and Yun Yi also awakened. They too felt the surging power within their bodies, and expressions of joy appeared on their faces. Lin Feng looked at the three of them, smiled and nodded, feeling deeply gratified.

The three had clearly achieved a qualitative leap in strength; they were no longer the Peak Late-Stage Foundation Establishment of the past, but true Golden Core cultivators.

Lin Feng looked at the three, feeling very satisfied. The advancement of these three to the Golden Core Realm undoubtedly added a powerful force to the Sect. In the upcoming attack by the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts, they would surely play an important role.

Next, Lin Feng began to arrange the Sect's affairs. He divided the Sect's Disciples into several small groups, each responsible for patrols, Alchemy, talisman crafting, and Cultivation, among other tasks.

Each group was led by a Golden Core cultivator, ensuring they could handle various emergencies.

At the same time, Lin Feng also strengthened his contact with other Sects. Although most Sects chose to observe and remain neutral, a few were willing to unite with Qingyun Sect to jointly resist the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts. Lin Feng expressed his heartfelt gratitude to these willing Sects and discussed specific battle plans with them.

The current Qingyun Sect now boasts four Golden Core cultivators, no longer relying solely on Lin Feng, the single Golden Core cultivator, for support. With four Golden Core cultivators, its strength has surpassed that of the Sea Sand Gate and is now comparable to the Water Cloud Pavilion Sect Master and the Thunder Sound Sect, making it a true great Sect in the Blue Sea Region.

At this time, only the Sea Demon Sect in the Blue Sea Region could overpower Qingyun Sect in overall strength, while Qingyun Sect was only slightly inferior to the two other great Sects. But Lin Feng knew in his heart that the real threat came from the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts, not from internal competition within the Blue Sea Region.

To ensure the Sect's safety, Lin Feng decided to further strengthen its defenses. He personally led the Disciples to set up a series of defensive Magic Arrays and traps around the Sect, to prevent a sudden attack by the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts.

At the same time, he also intensified internal training within the Sect, having the Disciples continuously conduct practical combat drills to enhance their combat power and adaptability.

Under Lin Feng's meticulous preparations, the Qingyun Sect's strength greatly improved. The Disciples' Cultivation continuously progressed, and the internal cohesion of the Sect grew stronger.

However, Lin Feng still harbored a trace of worry. He knew that the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts were powerful and numerous, and if they truly attacked the Blue Sea Region, it would likely be difficult for Qingyun Sect alone to resist.

Therefore, Lin Feng decided to once again travel to the Northern Cold Sea Region's Icy Sea Region to personally understand the situation of the Nether Sea Region and seek possible allies and assistance.

He took several highly Cultivated Disciples and embarked on the journey to the Northern Cold Sea Region's Icy Sea Region. Along the way, they traversed the vast ocean, endured countless hardships and dangers, and finally arrived at the Glacial Domain.

Here, they met Cold Mountain Sect's Sect Master Hanji Mountain and Cultivators from other Sects.

During his time at the Cold Mountain Sect, Lin Feng learned in detail about the situation in the Nether Sea Region and the combat experiences of the Cultivators in the Glacial Domain.

He learned that the Nether Sea Region Yao Beasts were not only vast in number but also diverse in type, with many powerful Nascent Soul Yao Beasts among them.

These Yao Beast Kings not only possessed profound Cultivation but also wielded powerful Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures, posing a tremendous threat to the Cultivators of the Glacial Domain.
