Chapter 285 159: Foundation Establishment Achieved, the Waning Moon Nears Full
Before Ye Chen and the others could react, the corpse aura of the Three Evil Flying Corpses had already transformed into chains that flew in all directions, firmly guarding the area thirty feet in front of Eastern Celestial City and the others.
As long as a demon apparition appeared, the chains of corpse aura would pierce through it directly.
As long as no demon of Tier One Peak comparable to a Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivator appeared, the corpse aura was sufficient to resolve all troubles.
"Let's begin."
The Three Evil Flying Corpses urged telepathically again.
Given Eastern Celestial City's top-grade single-attribute spirit root, with ample spiritual qi and the support of rare second-tier natural treasures like the Demon Water Vine, although achieving the highest or upper-grade Dao Foundation might be difficult, a lower or middle-grade should be more than sufficient.
Although age and distractions might pose challenges, as an elder cultivator, Eastern Celestial City surely knows ways to adjust. Whether it succeeds depends entirely on him.
The only thing he can do is protect.
If it were a normal Qi Refining Cultivator, using Foundation Establishment Power to help might raise the chances of success a bit, but since the Three Evil Flying Corpses practice External Foundation Establishment, the corpse aura entering the body would only have a negative effect.
...
In the time that followed, Eastern Celestial City began to absorb the spiritual qi from the Demon Water Vine, and the magical power throughout his body began to compress.
The Three Evil Flying Corpses waited quietly by the side, exterminating each arriving demon without exception, allowing none to approach.
When they saw a Tier One Peak demon rush forward, only to be torn apart by the Three Evil Flying Corpses with ease, Ye Chen and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. All eyes turned to Eastern Celestial City beneath the Demon Water Vine.
Though it wasn't their own Foundation Establishment, Ye Chen and the others were even more nervous than Eastern Celestial City himself. If Eastern Celestial City succeeded in Foundation Establishment, the future of Deadman Peak would change dramatically.
They could expand.
Or defend their territory.
Whatever the choice, it's within their capabilities.
Even if the Divine Fall Mountain Range underwent changes in the future, one person with Foundation Establishment guarding Deadman Peak would be more than sufficient. It might even be an opportunity to step out of the Far West and establish a foothold in the Central Shen Yun Mountain Range.
Thus,
Deadman Peak shall thrive!
As time passed, Eastern Celestial City smoothly completed the reformation, and a pale golden foundation slowly formed at the broken part of his Dantian, with a surge of spiritual qi from the Demon Water Vine pouring in, completing the foundation.
Once the foundation formed, it was a realm breakthrough!
The spiritual qi from the Demon Water Vine was abundant, more than enough for Foundation Establishment, so the rest depended on Eastern Celestial City's mindset.
If he could control his distractions, the chances of success were great.
Ye Chen and the others obviously knew this too, so at this moment they didn't even dare to breathe, and their palms began to sweat.
But just at this moment, an unusual phenomenon suddenly occurred. The great sun hanging above the Demon Water Vine suddenly shifted, and a scarlet light streaked across the sky, crashing down onto Eastern Celestial City.
The speed was so fast that even the Three Evil Flying Corpses couldn't react in time.
However, after the scarlet light fell, it didn't cause any harm to those around, nor did it dispel the corpse aura, nor release the Supreme Yang Power that could ignite even the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body.
"What's happening?"
Ye Chen and the others panicked.
But they didn't dare approach.
Wen Jiu's expression also tightened.
But upon seeing a large amount of scarlet spiritual qi pouring into Eastern Celestial City's body from the light, and as the great sun's light started to weaken and the waning moon grew round, Wen Jiu suddenly understood something.
Does it mean someone needs to establish a foundation for the full moon to appear?
Indeed!
Blood Eater Daoist said before, last time the Celestial Extinction Ruins opened, for thirty consecutive days it was daytime, and the full moon never appeared.
According to the soul memories of Yin Yang Dust and Yanposhan, during the last Celestial Extinction Ruins opening, no one succeeded in Foundation Establishment. In other words, because no one succeeded, the full moon never appeared.
"Interesting."
Wen Jiu's gaze returned to the great sun.
And then looked at the conspicuous scarlet light again.
Wait.
So high-profile.
What if it attracts something formidable?
Celestial Extinction Yin Vein is a place where Demon Cultivators cultivate demons, and Celestial Extinction Ruins is where they cultivate. What if it indeed attracts a True Demon?
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu immediately tried to use corpse aura and Hidden God Technique to cover the scarlet light, but it was to no avail.
At the same time, many disciples of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks in various places of the Celestial Extinction Ruins, as well as Blood Eater Daoist and others, witnessed this scene.
Everyone immediately had a thought.
A celestial opportunity has appeared!
"Go!"
Blood Eater Daoist and others immediately changed direction, heading towards it without any hesitation.
Ku Yue originally didn't want to move, as his goal on this trip was Foundation Establishment, but thinking that if Celestial Extinction Mountain opened and he didn't go, it would be a huge loss. Foundation Establishment could wait, as there were still twenty days left.
After Blood Eater Daoist moved, many Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks disciples also rushed towards where the scarlet light fell.
But unlike other ordinary disciples of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, Chen Yi and other Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivators exchanged glances and didn't move, because they knew what this unusual phenomenon meant.
It means someone is establishing a foundation!
"Who could be establishing a foundation?"
The shorter cultivator showed a puzzled expression.
He also seemed eager to move.
After all, if they let the other side establish a foundation, it would surely affect their gains on this trip.
If they went now, they might even steal the Foundation Establishment item. Even if it was used, the dissipated medicinal and spiritual power likely wouldn't be much. If it couldn't be reused, it could still be sold at a high price later.
Chen Yi didn't answer, falling into contemplation. Those beside him seemed eager to go, but Chen Yi didn't move. Just as the shorter cultivator was about to urge, Chen Yi's expression tightened, suddenly realizing something.
