216: Chapter 216 More than a decade has passed, and everyone has changed!

Time changes, in the blink of an eye, several years pass.

Cultivation time is all in the days and years.

In these few years, the various lineages of the Yao Race have been flourishing.

Although Xiong Shan lost a leg, with Shuang Yu's ice sealing and the conditioning of various Spirit Medicine, his life was saved.

His severed limb was able to regenerate, but Yin Qi had penetrated deep into his bone marrow, completely severing his potential; it is feared that he will find it difficult to achieve much in the future...

Therefore, Xiong Shan simply stepped back to the second line, focusing on training the bear cubs of the Primitive Lineage, cultivating the new generation of bear yao.

The White Fox Clan, ruled by Bai Ling, also produced many good seedlings in these few years. Among them, two little foxes were born with phantom pupils, possessing exceptional talent.

They were cherished by Bai Ling like treasures, with extraordinary innate Bloodline.

Days passed by.

Without external enemies or infighting...

Shi Jian's cultivation grew deeper at the Mid-stage Golden Core Realm.

Zixiao was right; the Nascent Soul cannot be reached through hard cultivation alone; it requires Opportunity and insights into the Dao.

Shi Jian watched the sun rise and the moon fall, watching the sea of clouds churn.

He cultivated his heart towards the Dao, comprehending the natural laws of Dao techniques...

Days of peace always pass by quickly.

In a blink, several years passed.

Another blink, and a decade of spring and autumn passed in an instant; the sun and moon rotated, and the seasons changed.

Sun Yao had been in seclusion for the rest of her life; there is no time in immortality, and one does not know the years when the cold ends.

Ten years of time—for a Mortal, how many times can it happen? But for high-level Cultivators and Great Yao, it is nothing more than the time it takes to take a nap or enter seclusion.

In these ten years, the cultivation world of Qingcang Kingdom has been rarely peaceful.

The remnants of the Jin State's demonic Cultivators had long been cleaned up by the Protectorates of various states, and the territory under the Shangqing Sect was a peaceful and prosperous age.

Moreover, during these ten years, the Shangqing Sect's True Monarch Xuanyuan—the one who faked his death back then—passed away completely in recent years...

But just as he left, the Shangqing Sect had two newly promoted Nascent Soul Cultivators who broke through the Realm one after another, ascending to the position of Nascent Soul True Monarch!

One's title is True Monarch Mingyuan!

The other's title is True Monarch Hanyuan!

They were a pair of fellow Disciples, and both were Disciples of True Monarch Xuanyuan. The Shangqing Sect advanced instead of retreating, and the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators reached eleven!

The entire Qingcang Kingdom was full of confidence, and the forces under its rule were surging with momentum.

As for the Taiqing and Xuanqing Sects in the Wei State, in order to digest the heaven and earth qi obtained from the Secret Realm, they ignored worldly affairs and silently cultivated the younger generation of Cultivators.

And White Cloud Temple, in recent years, with the momentum of the Shangqing Sect, has also developed smoothly, becoming increasingly strong while silently accumulating power.

The old Daoist Daoist Yun Du's hair has become increasingly white over these ten years, and the wrinkles on his face have gradually deepened a bit...

Counting it up, he has already lived for over a hundred years. If the three-cycle longevity pill is included, he has a Dao lifespan of nearly two hundred years; time is truly rapid.

Unknowingly, more than half of his life has passed...

He did not attempt to charge towards the ethereal Nascent Soul Realm, but instead devoted all his energy to the inheritance of the Sect and the construction of the Blessed Land.

The sea of clouds in Baifeng Cloud Gorge is several times denser than it was ten years ago.

The Legacy left by Great Elder Yun Tianfan when he Dao-transformed, combined with the cost-free resource allocation over these ten years, has forcibly shortened the formation time of this Cloud Dao Blessed Land to within a hundred years.

In the Guiyuan Sword Tomb, Sun Chengzhu's Sword Intent is becoming increasingly sharp.

In these years, he has carefully polished himself and continuously comprehended and practiced, which instead made him more piercing, and his Sword Heart became clear...

There was even an added sense of tragic determination to survive after being placed in a desperate situation.

Lu Xun has also grown a lot in these years.

His cultivation increased very quickly. Since returning from the Kunyuan Secret Realm, in just over ten years, he has cultivated from the Foundation Establishment - Early Stage all the way to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now, he has become an Enforcement Elder in the Sect, with a resounding reputation.

With one hand of lightning techniques, he has reached perfection. He even observes the form of the Thunder Bear every day and has comprehended a unique combat technique. Having just stepped into the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he can actually display a bit of the Aura of the False Core Realm!

The Sect even tailored a Magic Treasure embryo for him.

Its power far exceeds that of a top-grade Magical Artifact. On the day Lu Xun achieves Core Formation, the prototype of the Magic Treasure will finally transform into a Lifebound Treasure. Because it has been nourished for a longer time, it is more compatible with his life...

Therefore, once it transforms into a Magic Treasure, it often possesses stronger combat power than ordinary Core Formation Cultivators, leading others by a step!

It can be said that the Sect has exhausted its resources to pave his path to the heavens.

And on Zixiao Peak, Shi Jian's body seems to have grown a circle larger.

He is now lying by the lightning pool, looking like a hill covered in white fur. Purple-gold lightning is swallowed and spat out between his breaths, and the surrounding air is distorted by this immense Spiritual Pressure.

"It has been ten years."

Shi Jian opened his eyes, and lightning patterns flashed in his dark golden vertical pupils.

Zixiao's voice sounded in his Sea of Consciousness: "Why, are you awake? You bear, in these ten years, you have done nothing but eat and sleep, though your cultivation has not fallen behind."

"Now your Realm is stable, but you still need to accumulate and temper..."

"According to your current speed, if you want to promote to the Late Stage, it will probably take another fifty or sixty years. Ten years of cultivation is nothing."

Hearing this, Shi Jian stretched.

His bones crackled, and his blood energy boiled!

"When it comes down to it, isn't it the problem inherent to the Yao Race? We cannot break through to Nascent Soul in just two or three hundred years like the Human Race."

"All in all, I am only about two hundred years old at present. For the Yao Race, reaching the Mid-stage Golden Core at this age is already very fast."

"Most Yao Beast, at two hundred years old, might still be in the middle or Late Stages of Foundation Establishment. Being able to achieve Core Formation at around two hundred years old is already considered a prodigy among the Yao."

"Enough of this idle talk. In these years, how have the many yao under my command fared?"

Zixiao heard this and naturally knew who he was asking about: "Shi Pan is still in seclusion. The Earth Dao Heaven and Earth Qi is not easy to refine, and coupled with his Bloodline purity barely meeting the standard, it is estimated that he will have to endure for a few more years."

"You also know that with Shi Pan's Aptitude and talent, it is estimated that it will take another thirty years before he truly enters the critical moment of Core Formation."

"As for that crazy dog Kuang Dou, he has developed well these years. His talent can be said to be the best among your subordinates at present."

"In these years, I have seen him propagate many Bloodline descendants, and the entire Bloodline of the Molten Black Hound has been greatly improved because of this..."

"As for that little mouse, the Wind Mouse lineage has developed as usual. However, the Yinfeng Valley in Di Prefecture is doing quite well. I think the potential of the so-called Yin Mouse lineage is quite good."

"It is expected to catch up with the Black Dog Clan and become a powerful pillar."
