Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 690 - 327: Undercurrents Surging

"Support from the top countries among the Six Demon Countries Alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping understood clearly in his heart.

With the support of a top country from the Six Demon Countries Alliance, it’s unlikely the Tu royal family could easily overthrow the Great Yu Country.

"It seems I need to inform Shui Hu Shu to act cautiously and discreetly, to avoid drawing attention from the Demonic Cultivators," Xu Ping thought to himself, his expression remaining unchanged.

Facing a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul powerhouse, he was still too weak.

Even with the Puppet Array, it would be difficult to contend head-on against such a presence.

Unless he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, only then can he confront them directly.

...

After inquiring about some specific details of the battleground between the two countries, Xu Ping dismissed Xie Lu.

Xie Lu saluted and lightly withdrew from the main hall, leaving him to ponder alone.

Xu Ping cast his gaze outside through the skylight, watching the slowly flowing sea of clouds, lost in thought.

"The current situation is becoming more chaotic," he gently shook his head, his brows slightly furrowed.

The involvement of Demonic Cultivators has made the war between the Great Xia Country and the Great Yu Country more unpredictable.

Who will win or lose remains uncertain.

Yet, given his current status, these conflicts will not affect him in the short term.

Although the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is involved in the war, as a vassal to the Tu royal family, it is not the main player.

As long as he keeps a low profile, it is unlikely those Demonic Cultivators will pay attention to him.

Now, his main focus should still be on cultivating and enhancing his strength.

Without sufficient strength, no matter how many strategies he devises, they are like water without a source, trees without roots, ultimately castles in the air.

With this thought, Xu Ping concentrated his thoughts and opened the mastery panel.

[Realm: Late-Stage Golden Core: 73/100; Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill Layer Six: 91/100]

...

"Only twenty-seven points left to reach Perfection,"

Xu Ping’s eyes shone with determination, silently calculating his cultivation progress.

At the current pace, he would need at most another seven to eight years to achieve Golden Core Perfection.

"Almost there!"

A hint of anticipation appeared in Xu Ping’s eyes.

Once achieving Golden Core Perfection, he can officially prepare for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Upon stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm, he will truly begin to master his own destiny.

By then, whether it’s the Tu royal family or the Red Sand Sect, or even the Six Demon Countries Alliance, he will have enough strength to navigate them, possibly even overturning the situation.

Xu Ping cast aside distractions and returned to the underground cave, entering secluded cultivation once more.

His figure gradually blurred, merging with the surrounding Spiritual Qi, as if united with heaven and earth, entering a mystical state of cultivation.

...

.....

As time flowed like water, years passed silently.

Three years went by in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, Xu Ping stayed confined within Celestial Cyan Peak, silently cultivating.

However, just as Xu Ping was focused on his cultivation, a shocking change erupted on the battlefield between the two countries.

The Demonic Cultivators, who were originally aiding the Great Yu Country, suddenly turned sides overnight to ally with the Great Xia Country!

This upheaval shocked the entire Cultivation Realm, leaving countless cultivators dumbfounded.

Regardless of the truth, for the Great Yu Country, this was undoubtedly a devastating blow.

With the support of Demonic Cultivators, they once could still hold on for a while, even hoping to turn defeat into victory.

But now, not only have they lost their powerful allies, but they also face a joint attack from two formidable enemies, placing them in extreme peril.

Within just a few days, three Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Great Yu Country—two died, one was seriously injured.

Eight or nine Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators fell, and even non-royal Nascent Soul experts within the Great Yu Country suffered casualties.

At Celestial Cyan Peak, in the main hall.

"Such a massive change occurred?"

When Xu Ping heard True Monarch Lan Ling recount the battlefield changes, he was immediately shocked, his brow furrowed.

Weren’t the Demonic Cultivators allies of the Great Yu Country?

How could they suddenly switch sides?

Could it be that the Great Xia Country has offered something the Demonic Cultivators couldn’t refuse?

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if he had obtained clarity!

No,

Xu Ping’s heart jolted, his eyes gleaming.

Perhaps the Great Xia Country and the Demonic Cultivators were in cahoots all along!

Among the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs who originally attacked him, the one wearing a moon-white robe wielded a powerful Demonic Spirit Treasure.

Such a Demonic Spirit Treasure is very difficult to obtain without connections to the Demonic Cultivators.

This suggests it might all be a scheme by the Tu royal family.

First, letting the Demonic Cultivators aid the Great Yu Country to put pressure on the Great Xia Country, then suddenly turning sides, swiftly defeating the Great Yu Country’s resistance.

Cutting off the source!

"Well, who could have anticipated such a change!"

Seeing Xu Ping’s shock, True Monarch Lan Ling also nodded repeatedly, a complex emotion crossing her bright eyes.

When she first heard this news, she was stunned for quite a while.

"Then, does this mean that the Great Yu Country is completely in the hands of the Tu royal family?" Xu Ping suppressed his restless thoughts and inquired solemnly.

"Indeed."

True Monarch Lan Ling gently nodded, a complicated and indescribable emotion flickering in her star-like beautiful eyes.

"The royal family of Great Yu has collapsed, the National Treasure has also fallen into the hands of the Tu royal family, and the remaining Nascent Soul experts have either fallen or submitted, with no chance to rise again."

"Moreover, Demon Monarch Di Xiang and Purple Abyss Demon Monarch have already set off on their return journey, and should arrive back at the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons in no time," True Monarch Lan Ling added.

"Returned!"

A sense of relief appeared on Xu Ping’s face, the tension between his brows slightly easing.

This indeed was a rare piece of good news.

The safe return of Shui Hu Shu and Demon Monarch Di Xiang is great news for both him and the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

However, Xu Ping did not completely relax in his heart.
