Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 578 The Prelude to the Opening of the Cave Abode

At this moment, the Huang family also received its reinforcements, namely several family elders of the Huang family!

The strength of these elders varied greatly; some were only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while others had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

On the surface, their arrival doesn't seem to bring much change to the current tense situation.

Is that really the case? Actually, no!

It turns out that there was a second-tier array master among this group of elders!

Although this formation master only possessed the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage, the effect he exerted far surpassed that of the Grand Elder, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!

You must know, he is a top-tier second-order formation master!

Given enough time to set up the formation, he would be able to withstand the attacks of even powerful cultivators at the Pseudo-Core stage.

At the same time, other factions also received support teams from their respective sects or families.

In an instant, the tense and oppressive atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

Those Blood Fiend Sect cultivators who once caused great concern among various forces are now completely incapable of arousing their worry.

Meanwhile, Wu Ming also received some exciting good news!

It turned out that after a period of recuperation, Chu Nan's injuries had completely healed.

What's even more surprising is that through this battle with the Blood Fiend Sect cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Realm, his own cultivation has been further improved!

If Chu Nan were to face that Blood Fiend Sect cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Realm again, he would surely be able to contend with him in his current state!

Let's take a look at Pan Ning. Although his injuries have not fully recovered, he has at least recovered about 70% to 80%.

Even if he encounters a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, considering his current strength, he should have no problem saving his life.

Finally, there's Wu Ming himself. Over the past three days, he hasn't been able to successfully refine a higher-level second-tier advanced talisman.

However, he refined more than thirty low-level second-tier talismans. Adding the ten or so low-level second-tier talismans he already had, he now has nearly fifty second-tier talismans in total.

With these talismans in hand, Wu Ming felt much more confident.

However, he was well aware that he was still no match for a Pseudo-Core Realm cultivator. After all, the gap in strength between him and a Pseudo-Core Realm cultivator was enormous and could not be easily bridged by ordinary means.

However, if he were to encounter a Pseudo-Core Realm cultivator again now, he would no longer be as helpless as before.

With the nearly fifty talismans in his possession, he could create some obstacles for his opponent.

However, if he were to face a powerful enemy at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, Wu Ming would also have the ability to compete with him!

As long as the opportunity is seized and a large number of talismans are unleashed unexpectedly, it is not a pipe dream to severely injure a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

This shows that the talisman master is indeed an extremely terrifying existence.

By simply possessing a high-level talisman, or having numerous talismans of the same level, one can achieve combat across realms.

However, although the entry threshold for becoming a talisman master is relatively low, and it is easier to enter this path than other cultivation techniques, it is not easy to truly become a top talisman master who can kill enemies of higher levels.

After all, whether it's acquiring high-level talismans or accumulating a massive amount of talismans of the same level, both require substantial financial resources.

Without a solid financial foundation as a backing, everything is just empty talk.

Take Wu Ming for example. In the battle that night, he actually used up thirty or forty low-level second-tier talismans.

You should know that although a single second-tier talisman is not very valuable, a large number of second-tier talismans can be worth thousands of spirit stones!

In other words, Wu Ming had already spent at least three or four thousand spirit stones in just one battle.

Such an enormous expense is simply astonishing, after all, so many spirit stones are more than enough to buy a precious Foundation Establishment Pill or a supreme magic weapon with immense power.

How could ordinary cultivators possibly possess such a substantial fortune?

They simply couldn't use a large number of talismans like Wu Ming did.

Therefore, becoming a top-tier rune master capable of challenging opponents of higher levels is definitely not something that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can achieve.

In contrast, those so-called "cultivation masters" such as array masters, weapon refiners, and beast tamers may indeed be able to significantly enhance their combat power through their unique skills and techniques.

However, these cultivation techniques are much more difficult to master than those of a talisman master!

Therefore, although there are indeed many cultivators in the cultivation world who are famous for their various cultivation skills, in reality, those who can truly cultivate to the point of being able to overcome opponents stronger than themselves by crossing realms are extremely rare!

Now let's return to the matter of opening the cave dwelling.

Time flies, and more than a day has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, all the reinforcements sent by various forces had arrived at the scene and joined forces with the major forces.

So the leaders of these major forces gathered together to discuss when would be the best time to open the cave.

After several hours of intense discussion and careful consideration, the leaders of these major forces finally reached a consensus.

Immediately afterwards, various forces took action.

They led their disciples to quickly relocate their camp and make thorough preparations for the upcoming opening of the cave.

Wu Ming and his two companions also received a message from the Huang clan. Without any delay, they quickly packed up their belongings.

Afterwards, he followed the Huang family to their destination.

Qingluan Mountain, in front of the cave dwelling left behind by the Golden Elixir Immortal.

At this moment, hundreds of highly skilled cultivators gathered around the cave, each with a solemn expression, wary of any possible anomalies, while also glancing at the unopened cave out of the corner of their eyes.

The Huang clan, Biluo Sword Sect, Guiyuan Sect, and Duan clan of Baiye County.

Tingfeng Pavilion, Luoxia Sect, and Qin Clan within Da'an County.

Finally, there were the independent cultivators in Baiye County and Da'an County, who were forced to form an alliance due to the exclusion by other forces.

There were eight forces present, all of whom were opponents in this battle for the cave dwelling.

However, in order to open the cave, the eight forces temporarily united.

They all dispatched several powerful cultivators, or those specializing in formations, and these cultivators have all gathered together at this moment.

The monks acted swiftly, each displaying their unique abilities.

In an instant, the area in front of the cave was filled with flashing light and overflowing energy.
