’No wonder Long Hao got annoyingly strong after the betrayal event. At zero percent mastery, it gives about one percent of the bonus. That boost is more than enough to kill Yin Qingming and other elders.’

With the sword in his hand, Fu Tong officially cleared the first Chapter. The next obstacle would only show up in 14 months. He had time to prepare.

Fu Tong checked the main quest’s progress.

Main Scenario Chapter 1-2: Complete the following objectives within one year.

- Link Spirit Stone Dimension Plane to the Divine Cloud Sect’s Secret Plane Portal (Cleared)

- Dispatch at least 100 disciples to the Spirit Stone Dimensional Plane. (Cleared)

- Mine at least 100 million spirit stones from the plane and fill the Divine Cloud Sect’s treasury. (98,134,135/100,000,000)

This task took a long time because the sect members had to mine the spirit stones and fill the treasury vaults themselves. At first, progress was quick and exciting, but the speed dramatically decreased post-tournament due to the expenditure of the sect. Each expense chipped away at their progress.

Elders and disciples were still allowed to mine spirit stones afterward. But as more followers became wealthy, they abandoned their work to enjoy their riches or enter a seclusion. The number of active miners drastically dropped. Most of the work fell to the elders and disciples of the Yin and Ouyang clans.

’Just a little more. Well, before that, I should go out and commission the steward for the perfect golden core advancement pill.’

Fu Tong exited the vault and returned to Li Wushuang’s manor.

Upon return, Fu Tong found a group of men gathering in the meeting hall’s front courtyard. At a glance, they seemed to be followers of their clan leaders or sects, as they wore different uniforms and gathered in groups.

When Fu Tong stepped into the courtyard, everybody turned to look at him. They exuded the aura of golden core or nascent soul cultivators.

As they sensed that Fu Tong’s strength was just a foundation establishment stage, they scoffed and looked away, except for a group of nascent soul cultivators in purple robes and the "Tang" banner.

One of the Tang Clan’s members approached Fu Tong as though they recognized him. He was a nascent soul cultivator, but he had dark eyes and black fingernails like Tang Youyan. The white beard, the white hair, and the withered skin all spoke of his age.

"We’ve finally met, young master Fu. I’m Tang Fan, the steward of the Tang Clan." Tang Fan politely cupped his fist and bowed even though he was older than Fu Tong.

Fu Tong also recognized the person. He was fated to be killed by Pei Guihong, the second protagonist. After Tang Fan’s death, Pei Guihong would abduct Tang Youyan and ravish her, brainwashing her in the process. He would do the same with the other women in the future, including Li Wushuang, before he sold her to Xiao Han Ce.

Not all enemies of the protagonists were Fu Tong’s allies, but Tang Fan was someone he could befriend with. Fu Tong returned the gesture and politely bowed.

"Junior Fu Tong greets Senior Tang Fan. I’ve heard a lot about you."

"Hoho. I don’t remember doing anything to be noteworthy, though. Anyway, you’ve finally come out of your seclusion. My clan leader is dying to meet you."

"Is he here with you?"

"Yes. He’s having a meeting with everybody inside at the moment. They have been there for hours, and the talk should end soon."

"What is this meeting for?" Fu Tong was curious.

"Nothing much. About the involvement of the Immortal Ji Clan, the Jianghu Alliance, and the matter in the immortal realm."

"..."

Fu Tong nodded and waited outside, staying with the group.

Minutes later, the clan leaders and sect leaders exited the building. Some smiled, but a few looked frustrated.

Among the crowd of old men, a middle-aged man with dark eyes and the Tang Clan’s uniform walked toward the group. Tang Fan immediately introduced Fu Tong to the patriarch.

"Patriarch, we’re lucky today. This is Junior Fu Tong, the core disciple of sect leader Li. Junior Fu, this is our clan’s patriarch."

The patriarch was Tang Fengxiao. His cultivation was merely at the golden core stage on the surface. In reality, his cultivation already reached the soul formation stage. His father and siblings had ascended, and the Tang Clan’s ancestors already settled in the saint realm.

Despite having a deep-rooted family, his cultivation stagnated due to his below-average talent. Thus, he got stuck managing his clan’s branch in this mortal world.

The patriarch widely grinned and sized up Fu Tong. Sensing Fu Tong’s cultivation stage, he nodded in approval.

"Well met! Finally, I get to meet you! I heard your cultivation was only at level 9 of Qi Condensation stage seven or eight months ago. So, you’re level 9 of the foundation establishment stage now?"

His voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it was clear enough for all clan leaders and sect masters to hear it. They all turned around to look at them.

"W-What? Seven or eight months ago?!"

"Less than a year?! How is that possible?!"

Trying to avoid conversation with uninvolved parties, Fu Tong wryly smiled and pretended not to notice the onlookers. He cupped his fist and saluted.

"Senior Tang, the rumor has been exaggerated. I was merely lucky."

"Luck is considered one’s talent. It takes my clan’s most talented cultivator at least a year for major advancement. It took me five years to progress from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment. Those with more skills than me spent two to three years on this. On the Grand Jade Continent, a legendary figure achieved the golden core stage in just 15 months after he started cultivating. I think you’ll probably break that record soon!"

Fu Tong bit his lower lips and secretly counted his fingers. A year had passed since he began his cultivation journey, and so many things happened.

’About the same pace, perhaps? About a month or two less than the record if I can get my hands on the perfect golden core advancement pill. If I weren’t so busy or got side-tracked by my wives, it would have been done faster.’

Fu Tong inwardly laughed. He wondered how the patriarch would react if he discovered a speedrunner’s world record on Earth. Fu Tong recalled that speedrunners typically needed 25-30 in-game years to reach the sage realm and defeat the final boss. However, they all had a weak foundation, and they achieved bad endings. Good endings still required 5,000 in-game years to complete.

Fu Tong remained humble and replied to the Tang Clan’s patriarch.

"Then my master should take that credit. She taught me well."

Tang Fengxiao nodded, as he liked Fu Tong’s humbleness. Probing him, he whispered.

"I heard a weird rumor. They said that you were a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor. Is that true?"

"..."
