Three months!
This was the deadline Ling Yun had set for himself to ensure that no accidents would occur while he was rescuing Yin Qingxuan.
Even though Ye Xingchen had been tight-lipped every time Ling Yun mentioned rescuing Yin Qingxuan, Ling Yun still understood the strength of the Devil Sect from the fragmented descriptions Ye Xingchen, Green Bird, and the others had given him!
Ling Yun knew that the Devil Sect's foundations were unfathomably deep and could only be described as terrifying.
He was certain that there were definitely great cultivators at the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level Nine, or even those who had completed the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there would be quite a number of them.
This didn't need to be understood from the front. One only had to look at the pinnacle of the pugilistic world's figures at the Devil Subduing Conference to deduce it.
The reason was simple. Those who were willing to participate in the Devil Subduing Conference were undoubtedly the most active in fighting against the Devil Sect. Master Zhineng of the Shaolin Temple's Arhat Hall, the four Perfected Masters of Mount Longhu's Shangqing Palace, the leaders of the Kunlun Sword Sect, and other major sects — all of these people had basically reached Divine Power Level Six. There were more than a dozen of them!
Moreover, these experts had the support of their respective sects' pills, talismans, secret techniques, and so on. They could temporarily raise their cultivation level.
However, such a powerful force hadn't dared to gather for so many years to charge into the Devil Sect's headquarters and fight the core figures of the Devil Sect head-on!
What did this mean? This could only mean one thing. Even if all those who appeared at the Devil Subduing Conference gathered together, their strength would be far from enough to attack the Devil Sect!
Otherwise, given their attitude and style, they would have fought to be the first to trample the Devil Sect, just like how they had slaughtered the Ling Family in the capital back then.
Moreover, things weren't that simple!
Ling Yun had already fought five Qi Cultivation Level Eight cultivators from the Long Family and Mount Longhu in the East Sea. He knew that there were indeed experts at the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level Eight in both the Long Family and Mount Longhu. Moreover, these were only the first few to show themselves.
This meant one more thing.
That is, Dragon Tiger Mountain, Shaolin Temple, Long Family, and other Top Forces in China. They are definitely not as weak as they seem on the surface. Among these Top Forces, there are real experts who have not come out for many years.
This was just like the current Ling Family. If the Liu Family or the Han Family in Beijing were to clash with the Ling Family in the future, Ling Yun wouldn't even bother to intervene. Someone like Cui Lao from the Ling Family could easily crush the entire family. Ling Yun didn't even need to show his face. It was too degrading.
However, even though Mount Longhu and the Shaolin Temple had such great cultivators in their sects, they still did not dare to unite and destroy the Devil Sect!
This explained a lot.
The fact that the Devil Sect was able to fight against all the righteous sects in China for a thousand years showed how terrifying they were!
Especially in the past thousand years, the Devil Sect's Sect Master, Yin Jiuyou, had disappeared along with the Devil Sect's number one holy artifact, the Devil's Blade. The Devil Sect could be said to have lost its greatest support, but it was still able to stand tall!
Even the Devil Sect's Sect Leader, Yin Jiuyou, had disappeared along with the Devil Sect's holy artifact, the Devil Sect.
Ling Yun had his reasons for being able to see through all this. It wasn't because he was smart, but mainly because of his knowledge.
For cultivators who had passed the Heavenly Tribulation, the world became smaller, and their lifespan became longer!
The most fundamental point was that as long as they could pass the Four Nine Minor Tribulations and reach the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation Level, their lifespan would be more than a hundred and fifty years, as long as they didn't die in an accident.
That was the Heavenly Tribulation! How could it be passed for free?
Once a cultivator broke through to the late-stage of Qi Cultivation Level, it wouldn't be difficult for them to live up to two hundred years. Moreover, they could ensure that their peak strength could be maintained until they were about a hundred and fifty years old.
When a cultivator in the late-stage of Qi Cultivation Level reached a hundred and fifty years old, it was equivalent to sixty years old for an ordinary person. If they couldn't break through to the next realm and successfully build their foundation, they would be like an ordinary person in their seventies or eighties for the next fifty years. It would be good if they could maintain their realm, and their combat power would drop drastically.
However, it didn't matter if they were two hundred years old or a hundred and fifty years old. As long as a top force had such an old antique alive, this top force would be able to maintain its foundation for at least a hundred years.
In other words, if one generation was twenty years old, this top force could be maintained for at least five to seven generations!
If, in the next five to seven generations, a peerless genius emerged, then the top forces would continue to rise. For example, didn't the Long Clan produce Long Tianfang in this generation?
However, the top forces produced many new people while the old antiques were still alive. How strong would a top force be after a hundred years of accumulation?
This was the case for the Long Family, Mount Longhu, and the Devil Sect!
This was what Ling Yun was afraid of!
Even though Ling Yun had reached the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level Five and was invincible in the Qi Cultivation Level, he wouldn't be able to deal with an antique above the Foundation Establishment Realm in a short period of time.
If Ling Yun was arrogant and rashly attacked the Devil Sect's main altar, he wouldn't be able to protect himself, let alone save his mother.
Saving someone wasn't like fighting a battle. If he couldn't win, he could fight. If he couldn't win, he could turn around and run. If he couldn't win, it would be easy for him to escape, but wouldn't his mother suffer?
If that happened, Ling Yun wouldn't be saving Yin Qingxuan anymore. He would be harming her.
Therefore, this situation was a real problem for Ling Yun. However, this problem was only a matter of time.
That was because Ling Yun's cultivation speed was simply too fast!
Even though he didn't know what realm he could reach in three months, he was confident that he could break through to Qi Cultivation Stage Seven within three months. In other words, he would reach the late stages of Qi Cultivation Stage without any problems.
Ling Yun was confident that he could take on a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. If he broke through another realm, he was confident that he could fight with cultivators three realms above the Foundation Establishment Realm. He might not win for sure, but he wouldn't lose either.
Only then would Ling Yun be confident in rescuing Yin Qingxuan with the help of the top experts around him.
Of course, Ling Yun's confidence mainly came from his trust in Yin Qingxuan.
Ye Xingchen had said that Yin Qingxuan had personally ordered that Ling Yun wasn't allowed to save his mother before he reached Qi Cultivation Level Six!
Yin Qingxuan was naturally aware of the Devil Sect's background. Since she had given such an order, it meant that she believed that Ling Yun would have the ability to fight against the Devil Sect after he reached Qi Cultivation Level Six.
Based on this, Ling Yun decided to wait until he broke through to the late stages of Qi Cultivation Level before rescuing Yin Qingxuan.
Moreover, it was obvious that Ye Xingchen had destroyed the Assassins Organization's Beijing branch before conquering the Hudong branch. At this moment, she was also gathering her strength in preparation for the upcoming battle.
Ye Xingchen had been doing these things silently. It was just that she didn't say anything.
Without a doubt, these were all secretly arranged by Yin Qingxuan. She was directing everything behind the scenes to clear the obstacles for Ling Yun and strengthen his forces.
"Three months?"
Zhuang Meifeng frowned and asked worriedly, "Isn't that too little time? I heard from Big Sister Xiao that Sister Xingchen's plan is at least half a year … "
Ling Yun laughed and casually explained, "That was the previous plan. She should have arranged it according to my cultivation speed. However, the cultivation speed of you men has far exceeded her expectations …"
Then, Ling Yun's smile disappeared as he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It will be New Year's Day in three months. Before New Year's Day, I must rescue both my mothers so that Lingyu can reunite with her parents and my biological parents. Our family, no, both of our families must have a real reunion!"
Ling Yun's gaze and tone were firm and decisive when he said these few words!
"Yes!"
Zhuang Meifeng nodded immediately. Her beautiful eyes also shone with determination. "Then I will also double my cultivation and strive to break through to Qi Cultivation Level Four as soon as possible!"
Ling Yun stood up and looked at Zhuang Meifeng. After staring at her for a while, he suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Actually, you don't have to be too deliberate. As long as you completely stabilize your current realm and adapt to it for a period of time, Qi Cultivation Level Four will be like a thin layer of paper to you. One poke and you will be able to break through it."
"Really?!"
Zhuang Meifeng asked happily.
"More than real gold and silver!"
Ling Yun laughed. "When you break through to Qi Cultivation Level Four and pass the Heavenly Tribulation, reaching the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level Four won't be a problem. When that time comes, we can carry out Dual Cultivation. When that time comes, I guarantee that you will reach the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level Six!"
"Ah!"
Zhuang Meifeng's face turned bright red when she heard these two words. She lowered her head and said coquettishly, "I was wondering why you were so determined last night and didn't want to do it with me … So you had it all planned?"
"Hehe."
Ling Yun laughed proudly. "Of course, we have to choose a good time for our wedding night. How can we mess around?"
"Alright, alright. Those things are still far away. Let's not talk about these things."
Ling Yun suddenly changed the topic. "Last night, you only cared about bathing me. You haven't had the time to tell me what happened after you returned to Qingshui City. Quick, tell me, what is the situation between you and your parents, as well as the disciples from the Tranquil Sect that you brought back?"
