White Jade City Peak.

Yang Fei and the others chased Bai Yu and Jin Ling without success. After returning, they went back to their residences to cultivate.

Since that day, having entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, Yang Fei felt that his mana had increased several times, making him realize that he could cast Fireball Technique, Earth Escape, Wood Escape, and Earth Escape Technique much more effortlessly.

Even his Primordial Spirit Consciousness had strengthened, and his understanding of Rune Tao had also improved by a level.

It seems that for cultivation, realm is the most critical foundation.

With a realm upgrade, all the skills learned are enhanced in all aspects, and overall combat power is much stronger than the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

He began to reflect on himself.

Although Rune Tao, Formation, Puppetry Technique, and Alchemy all fascinated him, and he had some talent in these areas.

But now the most important thing is to improve his realm cultivation. Only with a higher realm can he face future crises with ease.

Someday in the future, when he enters the cultivation world of the Central Great World, when he's safe and has leisure time, he can then explore these fields.

He directly went to Qin Yanyang's room, intending to dual cultivate with her, hoping that Qin Yanyang would soon reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Besides Yang Fei, everyone in White Jade City was diligently cultivating.

Even those martial artists who didn't detect a spirit root made sure to cultivate after completing their daily task of mining ore.

Everyone wanted to become stronger and didn't want to be abandoned by this new era.

Especially after a previously non-qualified member of the Military Department awakened a cultivation spirit root by using the Genetic Liquid Medicine, becoming the focus of White Jade City's cultivation, these people worked even harder.

If others can do it, why can't I?

It's alright if you don't have a cultivator's spirit root innately; the Genetic Liquid Medicine can give one a spirit root. With hard work and diligent cultivation, perhaps someday, you too can develop a spirit root and enter the true world of cultivation, seeking the Dao, and gaining immortality.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang dual cultivated for over two hours, immersed in the pleasure of rapid cultivation improvement, when suddenly Yang Fei's small barrier array detected movement.

Both opened their eyes.

Qin Yanyang's face was flushed; she quickly adjusted her breath and frowned, saying, "What's going on?"

Yang Fei also looked displeased.

The last two hours were dedicated to cultivation. Now he was planning to have some intimate time with his wife, yet they were interrupted.

With a thought, he probed outside, and suddenly his expression changed. He urgently said, "Enemies are attacking."

Qin Yanyang was taken aback, "What? Weren't they hiding? How dare they come?"

Yang Fei said, "Du Hui said that those two disciples from Flame Moon Sect, who came by spirit boat, have gathered the previous defeated army to provoke us."

Qin Yanyang, while putting on clothes, said, "They must have some special magic artifact, otherwise, they wouldn't dare challenge us with so few people. Make sure everyone is cautious later."

Yang Fei nodded, "Yes, let's go and see first."

After getting dressed, the two rushed out of the room. Outside the formation, in mid-air, Wu You and ten others were riding flying swords, hovering and hurling insults. At the forefront, in the center, was a spirit boat on which stood a pair of ethereal Golden Boy and Jade Girl.

Yang Fei praised, "What a pair of Golden Boy and Jade Girl. Cultivators indeed have extraordinary auras."

Qin Yanyang huffed, "That enchantress must have cultivated some kind of enchanting technique; don't be distracted."

Yang Fei coughed dryly, "Don't worry, my dear, I'm not that kind of person."

Qin Yanyang snorted but said nothing.

At this time, the masters within the Mountain Protection Array, those above the Divine Travel Realm, all appeared, vigilantly watching the enemies provocatively challenging outside the formation.

Ye Wuya and other Lingxiao Sect people were in a verbal spar with the opponents.

"How laughable that Lingxiao Sect's Shang Daoren works tirelessly guarding the passage, hoping for you to return with good news, yet you shameless people blinded by lust for power betray the sect, betraying the peace pact with the Southern Domain, bringing calamity to Lingxiao Sect, worse than pigs and dogs, shaming your ancestors," Bai Yu taunted loudly.

The Lingxiao Sect immediately felt ashamed, embarrassed, and angry.

They didn't want to betray Lingxiao Sect, but circumstances forced their hand. Rather live ignobly than die; they had no choice.

Moreover, they didn't consider it as betrayal of the sect.

At least they haven't harmed any interest of the sect, and everyone thought that as long as they maintained a good relationship with Yang Fei, and if Genetic Liquid Medicine could be mass-produced, Yang Fei cooperating with Lingxiao Sect would earn them great merits.

However, such words were inconvenient to disclose to other sects and families. Ye Wuya snorted, "Bai Yu, Lingxiao Sect's actions don't need your understanding. We have our purposes, and you're in no position to criticize. Let me remind you, this place is rich in cultivation resources. If you only seek to improve your strength, settle quietly here and set up your own abode for cultivation; then, the Earth humans won't object. But if you wish to seize this place, plundering its valuable resources and transporting them massively to the Southern Domain, then, apologies, Yang and other Earth cultivators will not allow it."

"Hahaha, you Lingxiao Sect folks cast aside the face of a two-star major sect, content to be watchdogs for these weak Earth natives. We, however, cannot,"

Bai Yu sneered disdainfully, "Who is Yang Fei? I've heard you have a powerful magic treasure. My fellow Flame Moon Sect disciples have perished at your hands. I, Bai Yu, do not believe you are that formidable. Have the courage to come out and duel me, let's battle one-on-one."

Yang Fei chuckled at this, "Hahaha, such arrogance. It seems you too possess a powerful magic treasure, right?"

Bai Yu sneered, "Whether I have a powerful magic treasure or not is none of your concern. I came today to avenge my friends who died at your hands and to retrieve my master's magic treasure, the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner. I'll just ask if you dare to fight me."

Both Ye Wuya and Lingxiao Sect folks were puzzled by Bai Yu's confidence and insolence.

Lu Chen couldn't help advising, "Brother Yang, be cautious. Since this person explicitly mentioned retrieving Master Li Yang's Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, it's likely that they came well-prepared with a powerful magic treasure. Don't be deceived."

"Indeed, be vigilant."

"The only ones who came are Bai Yu and Jin Ling. No one from other sects and families is present, likely because Li Yang sensed Xiang Yuncong's death, anxiously retrieving the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, thus sending her two prized disciples to retrieve it," Li Yue said gravely.

The Earth folks nodded, feeling the Lingxiao Sect's analysis was reasonable.

Huang Chengcheng reminded, "Yang Fei, those enemies knew your power before, but they still dare to come now, meaning they are prepared. Don't be careless."

"Yes, safety first. If they dare not directly crash into the Mountain Protection Array, it means they lack confidence in breaking through forcefully. You shouldn't go out; they can't do anything to you," Qin Huai'an advised.

Yang Fei laughed, "Thank you all for the reminders, but the enemies have come to our doorstep; if we do not dare face them, their arrogance will increase. If they keep causing trouble here, how can you cultivate peacefully? All cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, listen up, follow me out of the array to face the enemy."

"Alright."

Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang responded enthusiastically.

Qin Yanyang also held Yang Fei's hand, standing alongside him.

The seven Lingxiao Sect members, seeing the fearless spirit of these four Earth people, their battle intent elicited, couldn't help but feel ashamed. Their own fighting spirit was kindled, and they followed, exiting the Mountain Protection Array.
