In the carriage.
Lin Rong spread out the map and checked the route.
The residence of the Agility Clan, one of the Single Attribute Four Great Clans, was hidden, and he had spent many days inquiring before finally finding the place.
The Strength Clan was in Heaven Dou City, and the Control Clan was in Dragon Rise City.
As for the Breaking Clan, the city they resided in had seven great sects, and it was one of the Lower Four Sects.
It was known from the original work that one of the Lower Four Sects in the same city as the Breaking Clan had threatened Yang Wudi shortly before the gathering of the Four Great Clans.
At the same time, the Elephant Armored Sect, also one of the Lower Four Sects, had sought out the Control Clan during this gathering.
Furthermore, in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament, the Elephant Armored Academy, belonging to the Elephant Armored Sect, participated in the Heaven Dou Empire division. Therefore, it was the first to be ruled out.
This left the White Tiger Sect, the Wind Sword Sect, and the Fire Leopard Sect.
Among these, the White Tiger Sect was an influence of the Star Luo Empire's royal family.
Yang Wudi did not reject the Star Luo Empire's royal family's attempts to win him over, so the White Tiger Sect could also be ruled out.
This left only the Wind Sword Sect and the Fire Leopard Sect.
The Breaking Clan arrived the latest at the gathering of the Four Great Clans, indicating that the city they were located in was the farthest from Dragon Rise City, most likely in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire.
Although both the Wind Sword Sect and the Fire Leopard Sect were in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire, the Wind Sword Sect was further south.
Also, the Lower Four Sect that threatened Yang Wudi wanted the Breaking Clan to join them.
There was a precedent in the original work.
The Martial Soul of the Control Clan was the Plate Armor Rhinoceros, and the Martial Soul of the Elephant Armored Sect was the Diamond Mammoth.
Both were beast Martial Souls, and both were outstanding in defense. This was why Tian Xiang Huyan Zhen personally came to incorporate the Control Clan into the Elephant Armored Sect.
Therefore, the Lower Four Sect in the same city as the Breaking Clan should have a heritage Martial Soul similar to the Breaking Clan, which is a tool Martial Soul.
The heritage Martial Soul of the Wind Sword Sect was the Wind Sword, the heritage Martial Soul of the Fire Leopard Sect was the Fire Leopard, and the heritage Martial Soul of the Breaking Clan was the Soul Breaking Spear.
Thus, only the Wind Sword Sect met the criteria.
In conclusion, the city where the Breaking Clan resided was Windy City in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire.
Because the Breaking Clan often assisted the Agility Clan, the distance between the two families was not very far.
With Bai He's speed, if he wanted to visit the Breaking Clan to freeload, it would likely take less than an hour at full speed.
But that was Bai He's speed. With the four-horse carriage Lin Rong was riding, traveling at a normal pace, it would take about five days to reach Windy City.
Lin Rong was not worried that Bai He would go to the Breaking Clan to find Yang Wudi before them and ruin his plans using their friendship.
There was a very simple reason for this.
Yang Wudi was extremely obsessed with refining medicine and poison. If he knew that his best brother had the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng but kept it from him, and even sold it to someone else instead of him.
Given Yang Wudi's fiery temper, he would be furious.
From then on, although Yang Wudi and Bai He's friendship would not be severed, a rift would form between them, and their relationship would not be the same.
Lin Rong lowered his head, looking at Windy City marked on the map, and gained a deeper understanding of the Star Luo Empire's strength.
"For a city where a great Lower Four Sect resides, if it were in the Heaven Dou Empire, it would definitely be called Wind Sword City."
"But in the Star Luo Empire, it's Windy City. This also indirectly proves that the Star Luo royal family's control over the empire is far superior to that of the Heaven Dou royal family."
"Even the branch halls of Spirit Hall in various cities of the Star Luo Empire are inferior in local influence to the official forces of the Star Luo Empire."
"If this were in the Heaven Dou Empire, the situation would be reversed. No wonder three of the Single Attribute Four Great Clans fled to the Star Luo Empire for refuge."
"It's only that old guy Titan. Because the Clear Sky Sect's hidden location is near Heaven Dou City, and Tang Yuehua also has Moon Xuan in Heaven Dou City."
"He thought he could get news of Tang Hao here, so he chose to migrate his entire clan to Heaven Dou City, rather than choosing the Star Luo Empire, where Spirit Hall's influence is weaker."
Lin Rong also felt fortunate in his heart that he was a hereditary Duke of Heaven Dou, not a hereditary Duke of Star Luo.
If he had been born in the Star Luo Empire, the difficulty of seizing the Star Luo throne would have been dozens of times greater than seizing the Heaven Dou throne.
The White Tiger Sect, belonging to the Star Luo royal family alone, was a tough nut to crack, and there was also the Zhu family, which shared the same fate as the royal Dai family.
But the Heaven Dou royal family was different.
As long as Lin Rong obtained military power according to his plan, and then guided Qian Renxue and Tang San to fight each other to a mutual defeat.
At that time, with military power in hand, he could easily seize the Heaven Dou throne.
"Although the plan has been fully implemented, there are still many aspects to consider."
"As the saying goes, mistakes are made in haste. Some key plans that affect the overall situation must be taken step by step, and there is no need to rush."
Lin Rong put away the map, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and closed his eyes to cultivate.
All fear stems from insufficient firepower; in other words, all confidence stems from one's own strong strength.
Plans are always built on the foundation of one's own strength. If one reverses the order and relies solely on plans and calculations.
Once the plan cannot keep up with the changes, all previous efforts will go up in smoke.
Conversely, if one possesses the power to suppress everything, plans are merely seasonings to adjust one's mood.
Lin Rong understood this deeply, so he spent most of his free time cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Scripture to improve his Soul Power cultivation.
The Marrow Cleansing Scripture has four major realms: Mind Empty, Body Transforms Itself; Perfect Wisdom and Self-Awareness; Concealment, Manifestation, and Salvation of All Beings; and Finger Flick, Surpassing the Beginning.
As early as the tenth month in his mother's womb, Lin Rong had already cultivated the Marrow Cleansing Scripture to the point of nearing the breakthrough to the "Mind Empty, Body Transforms Itself" realm.
However, after Lin Rong was born, he lost the support of the mysterious realm of innate fetal breath from his mother's womb.
For the past seven years and more, whenever he cultivated the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, he always felt it was complete, yet something always felt missing, which caused the delay in breaking through to the "Mind Empty, Body Transforms Itself" realm.
Things took a turn when Lin Rong absorbed the head Spirit Bone that fell from the Kongqing Bamboo.
Although the age of that head Spirit Bone was less than a thousand years, its quality was extremely high.
After Lin Rong absorbed that head Spirit Bone, his spiritual power did not increase much in quantity, but it saw a great improvement in quality.
Furthermore, the greatest benefit of absorbing this head Spirit Bone was not the spiritual power, but the nourishment of the soul's origin by the Spirit Bone.
As this head Spirit Bone absorbed life and space elements to increase its own age, it also shared some unknown energy to nourish his soul.
With his soul nourished, his spiritual power improved, and coupled with the changes in Lin Rong's own mindset.
Under the combined effect of these three factors.
When Lin Rong cultivated the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, he often felt that he was on the verge of breaking through to the "Mind Empty, Body Transforms Itself" realm.
Breaking through realms is something that cannot be rushed.
Therefore, by calming his mind and letting things happen naturally, the breakthrough would occur as a matter of course.
And today, shortly after Lin Rong began cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, he sensed the opportunity for breakthrough.
