Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Based on his current understanding of the Xianyang level ages in the Nine Towns, this cultivation speed was indeed extraordinary.

Cultivation in the Xianyang Level couldn’t possibly take less time than in the Cold Resistance Level.

”Among the Xianyang Levels in the Nine Towns, those with mid or late-stage cultivation are likely only Yang Zhun, Shangguan Yang, and Qin Feng. Based on Xiahou Zhang’s reaction when he last saw me in action, I can deduce that my strength isn’t too different from these three. Therefore, competing with the Nine Towns shouldn’t be lacking confidence!”

Xia Hong’s eyes focused slightly as he suddenly raised his head to look towards the entrance of the Star-picking Platform.

Li Xuanling, donned in a white palace robe, hurriedly ascended the platform. Seeing Xia Hong had completed his practice, she spoke directly, ”There’s news from Wuyuan. The Dajue Temple has already mobilized the Earth-digging Realm from over fifty village-level camps across the region to Bashang. The total troops are now sixteen thousand, with the last three hundred official bhikkhus also dispatched. Last night, the Dajue Temple army tent moved five kilometers closer to Bashang City. Now, the two sides are less than two kilometers apart, and it’s expected a battle will commence within days at the latest.”

After hearing this, Xia Hong furrowed his brows and asked, ”And the situation in Qinghe Village?”

”Qinghe Village is extremely empty now, with only a thousand Zen Temple bhikkhus watching over it. If Xu Ning’s initial intel is correct and they have only eight hundred official bhikkhus, then the Dajue Temple is at its most vulnerable now.

According to scouts’ reports from Qinghe Village, the vigilance at the village’s eastern Zen Temple and the Great Awakening Hall at Chilong Lake remains tight, and unauthorized persons are not allowed near. No scouts from the Nine Towns dare venture there anymore.”

During these months of conflict between Dajue Temple and the towns of Bashang and Jiangxia, if nothing else, the area around Qinghepu has been extremely empty. Especially as the warfare escalates, fewer and fewer Cold Resistance Level and Earth-digging Realm individuals from the three villages and eighteen families remain. Great Xia has already taken the opportunity to insert numerous scouts in that area.
