415: Star Winged Clan Guardians

Six hundredth day since entering the Star Sword Sect.

Fang Yanzu was sixteen years old. His cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining was completely consolidated. Today, he formally guided his Qi to break through the bottleneck, aiming for the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Six hundred and thirty-first day since entering the Star Sword Sect.

Rosy light enveloped his body as Spiritual Qi surged!

Fang Yanzu successfully broke through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm!

This Breakthrough directly broke the Star Sword Sect's records for the past hundred years, making him the youngest fifth-level Qi Refining Cultivator in the Sect's history.

Don't look down on it being just the fifth level of Qi Refining; in any small city within the Huajian Plane, a fifth-level Qi Refining Cultivator would be enough to establish their own Family foundation.

Six hundred and eightieth day since entering the Star Sword Sect.

As reinforcements from the powerhouses of the other three regions arrived one after another, the Rhinoceros Human Race finally realized—these creatures with avian wings were actually a massive race.

The territories of the two races bordered each other, and with resources being contested, a great war was on the verge of breaking out.

After a period of bloody fighting, although the Starry Sky Wing Clan ended with a pyrrhic victory, they also suffered massive casualties.

In this battle, neither side held anything back, directly deploying top-tier Cultivators—the legendary Golden Core experts.

The Starry Sky Wing Clan relied on their speed to maneuver, while the Rhinoceros race relied on their defense and high vitality to endure. Neither side gained an absolute advantage, let alone fundamentally shook the other.

After several brutal battles, the Rhinoceros race temporarily halted their offensive, yet they still held a tight grip on most of the Starry Sky Wing Clan's Northern Region, refusing to let go.

One must know that the cultivation resources in this world were already limited.

The struggle among various newly risen and old races over resource points had never ceased. The Starry Sky Wing Clan and the Rhinoceros Human Race had also annihilated many races to achieve their current territories.

Now that another powerful group had emerged, it truly gave both sides a headache... In the current Huajian Plane, Spiritual Qi was thin to the extreme, with an invisible upper limit: it could only allow a maximum of three Nascent Soul True Lords and a hundred Golden Core Cultivators to exist simultaneously.

And among the four great regions under the jurisdiction of the Starry Sky Wing Clan, the place with the most abundant Spiritual Qi was undoubtedly the Southern Region.

Because of this, the Southern Region had always been a place where many talents emerged, with various cultivation Geniuses as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river, and it was regarded as the heart of the Starry Sky Wing Clan.

Starry Sky Wing Clan, Southern Region, Myriad Heavens Palace.

A young Cultivator with an immortal air was slowly walking up the white jade steps.

He was the contemporary guardian of the Starry Sky Wing Clan, named Qing Lie, and also one of the few Nascent Soul True Lords in the world!

From the moment Qing Lie was born, he caused the heaven and earth of the Southern Region to resonate in harmony, naturally possessing a hint of Dao charm.

During his childhood, he had already mastered impressive martial arts.

By the time he reached adulthood, he was even more peerless among his generation.

Later, he left his Family to travel the famous mountains and great rivers of the world. Along the way, he found Opportunities, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

From Foundation Establishment to forming a Golden Core, and then to condensing a Nascent Soul, increasing his Lifespan to a thousand years, it took him less than three hundred years in total.

Nowadays, although Qing Lie had not appeared for a long time, many legends about him still circulated throughout the Starry Sky Wing Clan.

Words like "Genius" or "Peerless" seemed somewhat pale and weak when applied to him.

Normally, the subsequent plot for Qing Lie should have been clear and straightforward.

It would be nothing more than a top-tier Cultivator breaking through all the way, overcoming obstacles, and eventually becoming the strongest person in the history of this world.

But as his Realm continued to rise, Qing Lie discovered that the scarcity of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi far exceeded his imagination.

During these two hundred years, his progress had been shockingly slow, stuck at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul all day, finding it difficult to advance even an inch.

Tap, tap, tap.

Qing Lie reached the top of the ten-thousand-foot high platform. Standing by the railing, he took in the view of the continuous mountains below.

The high platform was silent; no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

"True Lord Qing Lie!"

Suddenly, a figure dashed over quickly and bowed in salute below the platform.

As if he had long known the other person would appear, Qing Lie didn't move his body, only nodding indifferently.

"True Lord, this is a challenge letter sent by that foreign race's True Lord. Please have a look."

...With a puff, the challenge letter turned into ashes.

"This Lord is going out for a while."

With those words, Qing Lie's figure vanished in an instant.

No one knew the contents of the challenge letter; everyone only knew that on this day, the Nascent Soul True Lords of the two great races had a duel.

Ten days later, the result of this battle reached the Star Sword Sect... "Ah? It was actually a draw?"

Fang Yanzu gasped and slowly put down the document in his hand.

One must know that the reputation of this True Lord Qing Lie had been ringing in his ears ever since he "transmigrated" to this other world.

Things like being outstanding since childhood and invincible among his peers.

Things like fighting across levels, defeating the older generation, and dominating the current era.

In short, he was the strongest of the Starry Sky Wing Clan, the most talented person in the clan's history. Stories related to him were as numerous as ox hairs, a textbook example of a super protagonist template.

Could an existence like this actually encounter a rival?

"It seems there are also experts on the Rhinoceros side."

Fang Yanzu fell silent. He understood it now; it turned out he was playing a game of Clash of Clans.

The development of the remaining situation could be guessed with one's leg hair; the two races would inevitably break out into a protracted war, with both sides wishing to annihilate the other.

Then the Starry Sky Wing Clan would weaken, being beaten by the Rhinoceros people all the way to the brink of extinction, and then... it would be time for him, Fang Yanzu, to make his entrance!

Defeat the Rhinoceros Prodigies, defeat the Rhinoceros older generation, defeat the Rhinoceros' strongest, make the Starry Sky Wing Clan the sole race, until conquering the Myriad Realms!

"Big brother, what are you laughing about?"

It had to be Lin Qingxuan nearby who interrupted Fang Yanzu's fantasy time.

After the fantasy, his thoughts returned to reality.

"Ahem, I just thought of something funny."

Lin Qingxuan wasn't surprised at all. She had known since childhood that he was like this, a bit frivolous in everything he did.

"Let's go, big brother. Revered Master is calling us to Cultivate. Revered Master has issued a strict order for you to practice your Cultivation Technique to the sixth level within a month."

"Coming, coming. I'm going right now."

The third year since entering the Star Sword Sect.

The struggle between the two races continued, and the overall situation hadn't changed much.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that both races had begun to mobilize their armies and prepare for war.

The Huajian Plane was only so big, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was only so much; the conflict was fundamentally irreconcilable.

But no matter how the outside world changed, Fang Yanzu still held the same view: if the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. He would focus on developing himself first... In the time that followed, Fang Yanzu cultivated within the Sect and traveled the Mortal World, continuously increasing his cultivation.

In the tenth year, he became the Chief Disciple of the Star Sword Sect with a cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Wang Shang and his lackeys were completely won over.

In the thirteenth year, he officially married Lin Qingxuan.

In the fifteenth year, at the age of twenty-nine, he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment, and the entire Star Sword Sect celebrated!

However, after stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm, a new problem arose.

Inside the cultivation room, Fang Yanzu woke up.

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Eastern Region is still too barren. I've been in secluded meditation for seven months this time without making any progress."

"Perhaps... it's time to go and see the Southern Region."
