Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 57 Prologue to the Era
  If there are monks at the ninth level of Qi training who are causing trouble in the city, the only way to suppress them quickly and minimize their influence is to use the foundation-building cultivators.

However, if the monks who only rely on the ninth level of Qi training attract the scattered foundation-building cultivators in Qingyuan City, they will not be able to delay it for too long. Only the foundation-building cultivators can hold back the foundation-building cultivators.

However, the Qiuxian Sect wants to disperse the foundation-building cultivators in Qingyuan City with the ninth-level qi-training monks, but the number of the ninth-level qi-training monks is dozens or even a hundred times greater than the foundation-building cultivators in Qingyuan City.

The price alone is even greater than sending a hundred or ten foundation-building cultivators. After all, there is still the possibility of escaping after sending a foundation-building cultivator to attack, but the outcome of these ninth-level qi-training cultivators is almost certain death.

"This move of the Seeking Immortal Sect is either a helpless move due to the lack of foundation-building combat power, but how can a force that can send thousands of ninth-level Qi-training monks as abandoned sons lack a hundred or ten foundation-building true cultivators?"

"Then the Immortal Seeking Sect most likely has mastered a secret technique that allows people to make rapid breakthroughs in the Qi training stage, so they can send thousands of abandoned children without feeling any distress."

Xu Ji thought in his mind that it was not uncommon for techniques that allowed people to achieve rapid breakthroughs in the Qi training stage, but most of them had two flaws. One was that they consumed a lot of resources, and the other was that there was no possibility of building a foundation.

But the cult that has disappeared for many years, where can it get a lot of resources?

The Immortal Alliance has tight control over the cultivation resources. If a large amount of resources are purchased, the Immortal Alliance will definitely notice it, and it will not be hidden until now.

"Is it Xuankai?"

Xu Ji remembered that the Immortal Seeking Sect was initially classified as a cult because it was inextricably linked to the Mysterious World. If resources were provided by the Mysterious World, it would not be unreasonable for the Immortal Seeking Sect to make a comeback after disappearing for so long.

"If the Immortal Seeking Sect is related to the Mysterious World, then could there be something from the Mysterious World behind the attack on Qingyuan City by the Immortal Seeking Sect?"

At this thought, Xu Ji's brows could not help but frown slightly. Although there was fighting on the battlefield outside the territory, there was no large-scale war. Now it seems that the situation may soon be unstable.

But now all he can do is wait patiently in Fengling Mansion.

Fortunately, the general situation did not deteriorate further as Xu Ji thought. Just seven days later, Xu Ji received another call from his father and learned that the blockade of Qingyuan Airport had been lifted.

"Dad, what about the Immortal Seeking Cult?" Xu Ji asked quickly.

Xu Wuwei's voice on the other end of the phone was also a little confused: "There are various signs that the Qiu Xian Cult seems to have withdrawn from Qingyuan City, but the Qi Xian Cult's actions this time are a bit strange. Apart from that attack, there has been no follow-up. The action feels a bit anticlimactic.”

"Is it possible that they were just pretending to evacuate and let down their guard?" Xu Ji couldn't help but feel worried.

"Don't worry, don't forget that the Immortal Alliance is not just a city in Qingyuan City. As early as the day of the Qiuxian Sect's attack, strong men from the Fengling Mansion came here. Now the airport will be opened after it is confirmed that the Qiuxian Sect has evacuated."

Xu Wuwei's words also made Xu Ji breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will take tonight's spirit boat back to Qingyuan City."

"No, it's better not to return to Qingyuan City for the time being. I will go to Fengling Mansion to find you tonight."

Xu Ji felt slightly surprised, but before Xu Ji could ask, Xu Wuwei explained:
  "Although the Qiu Xian Cult has escaped from Qingyuan City, it may be hiding in the nearby mountains and rivers. Your next goal is to join the survival training group. Even if the possibility of collision is extremely small, you have to guard against it. "

"In this case, why not find a reliable survival training group in Fengling Mansion? It will be much safer this way."

"Now that the matter in Qingyuan City has come to an end, I can rest for a while, just in time to find you." Xu Ji suddenly realized that what his father said was indeed reasonable, not to mention that Fengling Mansion, as a continental government, had such education The teaching staff of training institutions will also be stronger than those in Qingyuan City.

After hanging up the phone with his father, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his father was not injured this time, otherwise he would not have proposed to come to Fengling Mansion in person.

Xu Ji called Zhong Longhu and found that the school had begun to resume normal classes. Everything seemed to be back to before the attack, but many people died in the turmoil.

"By the way, Ah Ji, Han Feng also disappeared in that turmoil." Zhong Longhu said suddenly. Han Feng's disappearance was not an exception. In fact, under the attack of the Immortal Seeking Cult, no one found a body. Called missing.

However, these missing persons are most likely to have no bones left, and not even any broken limbs can be found.

Xu Ji was silent, but Zhong Longhu continued to speak: "Ah Ji, I now realize that what you said before is right. Life and death are all trivial matters, and strength is the foundation of everything. I was still too lazy before."

Xu Ji was slightly stunned. Have you said these words yourself?
  Xu Ji recalled his unstable state when he first awakened Su Hui, and seemed to have lamented the extraordinary power in front of Zhong Longhu. Apparently, these words had new insights after Zhong Longhu experienced the attack of the Immortal Seeking Cult.

However, it is not a bad thing for Zhong Longhu to have his own insights. If he can practice hard, with Zhong Longhu's foundation, the probability of passing the Ninth Academy in the Immortal Alliance Competition is not low.

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Ji learned from Zhong Longhu that none of the people in the Immortal Class who were familiar with him had any accidents, which could be regarded as a great blessing in this misfortune.

After hanging up the phone with Zhong Longhu, Xu Ji suddenly remembered the conversation he had with his father before coming to Fengling Mansion.

My father told me to base myself on the present and not to place my hopes on the distant future, worrying that I would fall into the wrong path during practice.

None of these principles are wrong, but the time is wrong.

These principles will undoubtedly be helpful to your practice in the long run, but they will slow down your practice progress in the short term.

And now that I am in my third year of high school and about to experience the Immortal League Competition, what's wrong with working harder? The principle of combining work and rest can be discussed after the Immortal Alliance Competition is over.

However, his father chose to have a long talk with him before he came to Fengling Mansion. He was not obsessed with the Immortal Alliance Competition he was about to face, but instead set his sights on the more distant future...

Combined with his father's advance guess that the Qiuxian Cult might launch an attack, Xu Ji's mind couldn't help but tremble, and his fists couldn't help but tighten.

Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the worst outcome that his father expected did not happen. The massive attack by the Immortal Seeking Cult ended suddenly. However, the long-lost Immortal Seeking Cult has made a comeback. This incident itself is most likely a signal.

"If the current situation is unstable, all major academies, including the Nine Universities and even the Immortal University, will increase their investment in resources for students in order to cultivate a large number of strong people in the shortest possible time."

"But, in this era, I don't know whether it is good or bad?"
