Chapter 575: Chapter 295: Agreement between Martial Brothers_2
During these fifty years of comprehending attack powers, Lin Yi did not seclude himself entirely. Instead, he emerged every few years, witnessing the passage of time and becoming accustomed to the departures of familiar faces.

For example, in the Golden Sword lineage, he is now around two hundred and eighty years old. His former Senior Brothers and Sisters, unable to break through the Golden Core and reach the life limit of two hundred and fifty years at the Foundation Establishment stage, were gradually approaching their ends.

At first, he felt some sadness, but later, as one after another reached their life limit, he became used to it.

Lin Yi could not help but sigh. What he initially thought of as the detachment of immortals, not partaking in earthly pleasures and cares, perhaps, was not them voluntarily forgetting their feelings, but being indifferent after witnessing many partings during the long years of cultivation.

The life limit of Fusion is eight thousand years, Crossing Tribulation is sixteen thousand years, successful Crossing Tribulation leads to ascension to the Upper Realm, and gains a life expectancy of tens of thousands of years. Regardless of having a heart as hard as stone, would become indifferent over the long years.

He was uncertain if he would become like this, but he would strive not to let his emotions wane over time.

Coming out of his secluded practice, Lin Yi arrived at the outside plaza. Fifty years had passed, and now Yun Yi Peak had forty foundation building cultivators.

Although it did not seem like many, the proportion of Perfect Qi Refining Disciples breaking through the foundation was as high as eighty percent. That is, eight out of every ten Perfect Qi Refining Disciples became Foundation Building cultivators, a ratio that can be said to be astonishing.

Generally speaking, if three or four out of ten Perfect Qi Refining Disciples became Foundation Building cultivators, it would already be very satisfactory. But here, under Lin Yi, eight out of ten succeeded, an unusually high success rate and, moreover, most of them were of Medium Grade Spirit Root.

This goes to show the miraculous teaching ability of Yun Yi Zen Ren; he can definitely bring out the potential of the disciples.

Consequently, there were more and more disciples who wanted to switch to Yun Yi Peak. However, Lin Yi ignored them, electing disciples only amongst the newly joined, occasionally choosing some from the Outer Sect.

After Lin Yi came out, he gave some teachings to the disciples in the sect. A few days later, his Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng, now the Sect Master Jing Yun Zen Ren, summoned him to Liu Yun Hall.

After arriving at Liu Yun Hall, they went to the backyard, drinking tea and chatting.

Zhou Yun Feng started laughing and said, “Junior Brother, your Yun Yi lineage is already on the right track, it’s time for you to retreat and enhance your realm. Reach the Golden Core Consummation as soon as possible to comprehend the Nascent Soul Realm.”

At this point, his tone became more serious, “After all, nearly two-thirds of the five hundred-year lifespan of the Golden Core has already passed.”

Before achieving Golden Core, his junior brother often remained in seclusion for many years at a time. When the Yun Yi lineage was first established, he spent twenty to thirty years in seclusion. Afterwards, it was usually just a few years at a time.

According to his estimation, his junior brother’s lifespan is now around two hundred and eighty years, leaving just over two hundred years of life. However, his cultivation level has only reached the fifth floor of the Golden Core, and he has not yet entered the latter stage.

Since achieving Golden Core and establishing the Yun Yi lineage, more than a hundred years have passed. He has been mostly focusing on developing and expanding the Yun Yi lineage, neglecting his own cultivation.

The latter four floors of cultivation will take at least a hundred years. With only a hundred years left to comprehend the Nascent Soul, time is becoming quite pressing.

Lin Yi nodded and immediately replied, “Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely retreat in the future. You know my character, even with Lower-grade spiritual roots, I will still strive for the possibility of the Nascent Soul, and I won’t give up.”

Although he had a rough plan for the future, to extinguish his physical existence at the Golden Core Realm, on the surface he still needed to strive, and not just lay down and wait.

Zhou Yun Feng’s face immediately showed reassurance. Seeing his Junior Brother still as determined as ever, he felt relieved, “Good, Junior Brother, you really have to work hard then, so that our lineage can have four Nascent Souls, reproducing the past feat of four Golden Cores.”

“Senior Brother, I’m okay, but you need to work hard.” Lin Yi joked. His Senior Brother, Zhou Yun Feng, had only two hundred and eighty years of lifespan left when he established his foundation and achieved Golden Core, when he was two hundred and twenty years old.

Back then, he was only around eighty years old and even planned to reach the Nascent Soul Realm before he turned one hundred and fifty. Now, he is two hundred and eighty years old, and nearly two hundred years have passed.

However, according to the results observed through the Eye of Emptiness, there is already a nascent form of the Nascent Soul in Zhou Yun Feng’s body. It seems to have formed in the last few years. Whether he can break the core to become an infant when his life limit is approaching is still an unknown.

Even with Master Golden Sword’s aptitude, after having the Nascent Soul’s nascent form, he spent seventy or eighty years to break the Dan into an infant.

If he consumes a top-grade Life Extension Pill, he can increase his lifespan by twenty years, leaving only a little more than a hundred years. There would be no time to waste anymore.

Of course, compared with Zhou Yun Feng, the former Sect Master, Green Jade Zen Ren, is already past help, unable to gestate the Nascent Soul. Now, his lifespan is only a few years left.

The reason why he released the news to the outside world, saying that he was going to retreat to comprehend the Nascent Soul Realm, was actually just an excuse to step down from the position of Sect Master.

Using these remaining twenty or so years to help Zhou Yun Feng become a qualified Sect Master.
