「Three years later.」
Fang Yun had now been in the middle stage of Foundation Establishnt for eight years, and he was now fifty-three years old.
In these past three years, Fang Yun’s life had been good.
During this ti, the number of Foundation Establishnt Demons who had died at his hands reached seven, aning he killed an average of more than two Foundation Establishnt Level Demons per year.
As more and more Foundation Establishnt Demons fell to him, the rate at which he accumulated Talent Points grew faster and faster.
Taking into account the Talent Points from killing Demons, his average monthly gain had long since surpassed two hundred thousand.
His annual gain of Talent Points was also approaching three million.
Over three years ago, he had killed three Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Demons, a feat that had marked his most profitable month for Talent Points to date.
He had obtained over 4.1 million Talent Points that month.
Based on his previous rate, acquiring over four million Talent Points would have taken him more than two years. Now, it was equivalent to just over one year of accumulation.
Killing seven Foundation Establishnt Demons in three years didn’t an he had only accepted seven reinforcent missions during that ti.
Not every reinforcent mission resulted in the kill of a Foundation Establishnt Demon.
His success rate in killing Foundation Establishnt Demons on reinforcent missions was worlds apart from the other Elders of Battle Peak.
When he responded to a call for support, he would invariably kill any Foundation Establishnt Demon he saw. The other Elders, in contrast, focused more on simply rescuing the person in danger.
As he accomplished more and more, his sect influence, which had previously stalled, began to rise slowly again. Just two months ago, it had reached 75%.
That was an increase of two percentage points from before.
For soone like him, who was still in the middle stage of Foundation Establishnt, reaching 75% sect influence was truly imnse.
Fang Yun was currently experiencing the effects of this influence firsthand.
Whenever he stepped out and walked around the sect, any disciple who saw him would greet him without fail.
Many disciples knew of him. In this regard, even many Elders at the Peak of Foundation Establishnt couldn’t compare.
When the disciples greeted him, they sotis thought about how they might one day need a Foundation Establishnt Pill refined by Elder Fang when they went into seclusion for their own breakthrough.
A flash of spiritual light appeared before Fang Yun as he was cultivating.
The mont he saw the spiritual light, Fang Yun assud it was a reinforcent mission.
But after receiving the ssage, he found that it wasn’t.
’Elder Miao is looking for ?’
Fang Yun was very surprised by the ssage’s content.
This was the first ti Miao Qinghong had ever taken the initiative to contact him.
After a mont of thought, Fang Yun decided to temporarily stop his cultivation and head to Miao Qinghong’s cave residence on Battle Peak to see what she wanted.
Having made his decision, Fang Yun acted quickly.
Before long, he arrived at Miao Qinghong’s cave residence. This was also his first ti visiting it.
"Elder Miao," Fang Yun asked directly as he sat down, looking at Miao Qinghong, "may I ask why you’ve summoned ?"
"Elder Fang, it’s truly a pity you aren’t an Elder of our Battle Peak," Miao Qinghong began.
Fang Yun’s combat record made him seem more like a Battle Peak Elder than the actual Battle Peak Elders themselves.
In recent years, because Fang Yun had been so active in accepting reinforcent missions, they had achieved an excellent record in fending off Demon attacks.
They had lost few Foundation Establishnt Elders, while many Foundation Establishnt Demons had been slain.
Ever since the Demon Spirit Sect began openly supporting the Celestial Demon Sect, the number of Foundation Establishnt Demons who had died at Fang Yun’s hands had already reached ten.
"Elder Miao, in my view, we are all Elders of the Celestial Cloud Sect. It doesn’t matter where we are stationed; it’s all more or less the sa. Although the Elders of Battle Peak and the Evil Extermination Hall are responsible for external affairs, when the Demons co knocking, even the Elders of the Spirit Field Institute will have to resist their attacks."
"Mm, you have a point." Miao Qinghong nodded, then revealed her purpose in summoning him. "I’ve called you here today to see if you might be interested in becoming the next Managent Elder of Battle Peak."
"I’m an Elder of the Artifact Casting Peak..."
"And who was it that just said that? Elder Fang, didn’t you just say that in your view, all sect Elders are the sa?" Miao Qinghong said with a small smile.
This was the first ti Fang Yun had ever seen Miao Qinghong smile.
The smile appeared only for a mont before quickly vanishing.
"As long as you want to beco the Managent Elder of Battle Peak, the other Elders of the Peak will agree, even without my support."
Miao Qinghong felt that Fang Yun’s current standing in the hearts of the Battle Peak Elders might be even higher than her own as the Managent Elder.
Like the other Battle Peak Elders, she held Fang Yun in very high regard; otherwise, she wouldn’t have called him over to discuss this matter.
"If I beco the Managent Elder of Battle Peak, then what about you, Elder Miao?"
"Soon, I will be entering seclusion to attempt Core Formation."
"So soon," Fang Yun said, sowhat surprised. "Aren’t you going to prepare more?"
From Miao Qinghong’s deanor, it seed to Fang Yun that she intended to enter seclusion and attempt her breakthrough to Core Formation the mont she reached the true Peak of Foundation Establishnt.
"You don’t understand the way of the Sword Cultivator. For us, when challenging a new Realm, there is no such thing as ’preparation.’ To prepare is to hesitate, and to hesitate is to fail."
’Fair enough. I really don’t understand that part of it,’ Fang Yun thought.
"In that case, allow to be the first to wish you success in reaching Core Formation, Elder Miao!"
If Miao Qinghong could successfully reach Core Formation, it would be a huge boost to the overall strength of the entire Celestial Cloud Sect.
An Early-stage Core Formation Sword Cultivation Supre Elder was equivalent in combat power to a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, if not even stronger.
"I’ll accept your well wishes, then. Does this an you’ve agreed?"
"No." Fang Yun shook his head. "Elder Miao, regardless of whether I’m willing to beco the Managent Elder of Battle Peak, you’ll have to get past my master first."
