Chapter 286 159: Foundation Establishment Success, Waning Moon Approaches Fullness
In the next moment.
Chen Yi hurriedly formed a seal to cast a spell.
He utilized the unique sound transmission method of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.
The voice could be heard for hundreds of miles.
It was transmitted only to the disciples of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.
"Retreat immediately!"
Upon hearing this, most of the other Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivators of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks were at a loss, not knowing why.
The tall Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivator, however, opened his mouth with a solemn expression, "The people of the Two Sects and Six Peaks have all fallen to the Foundation Breaking Method, so it can't be them.
Although Blood Eater Daoist is a Loose Cultivator with the potential to establish a Foundation, he's here on behalf of the Three Life Gates, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Three Life Gates would never allow him to establish a Foundation.
So it's very likely a Ghost Cultivator that controls a Tier Two Ghost, if we proceed, there's little hope of survival. Previously, he didn't let the Tier Two Ghost kill us, probably because he feared Senior Brother Ye and didn't dare to go too far.
But if we interfere with the Foundation Establishment, that would be impeding his path, I'm afraid even Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks will be unable to protect us then!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of a few who were unaware changed slightly.
Their intention to proceed dissipated instantly.
The short cultivator felt the same, but upon realizing that it was the Ghost Cultivator establishing the Foundation, his face grew even more worried.
Just a Tier Two Ghost alone was beyond their ability to contend with, and if the other party succeeds in Foundation Establishment.
Wouldn't that mean...
Seeing this, Chen Yi glanced around at those nearby, all had serious expressions, but not as worried as the short cultivator, "Senior Brother Ye once said, the opportunity at Celestial Extinction Mountain doesn't necessarily go to the strongest. Our priority is to seek Foundation Establishment Items, if we can find them, we can choose one person to establish the Foundation first.
We're all just a step away from Foundation Establishment, with the help of Foundation Establishment Items, Foundation Establishment shouldn't be a problem. At that time, although we can't rival them, at least if they decide to trouble us again, we can have Foundation Establishment Cultivators to contend with them.
Not like now, where we have no power to retaliate."
After Chen Yi finished speaking,
Everyone nodded.
Their gazes withdrew from the place where the red light fell, and they once again dispersed, their speed in searching for Foundation Establishment Items increased.
...
At this time, Blood Eater Daoist and the others were rushing towards the phenomenon, and the five to six hundred mile distance was soon covered. Yet, Blood Eater Daoist, Mo Jianchou, and the others felt increasingly strange as they couldn't see even one disciple from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.
"Could it be that Celestial Extinction Mountain hasn't opened?" Blood Eater Daoist suddenly had an ominous thought.
His flight abruptly stopped.
Mo Jianchou quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Blood Eater, if Celestial Extinction Mountain hasn't opened, we can always return later."
Ku Yue also spoke at this moment, "Perhaps they arrived ahead of us."
Blood Eater Daoist hesitated for a few moments, still feeling something was amiss, but after some thought, chose to continue forward.
Soon, they were near the place where the red light fell, and from afar, they saw Eastern Celestial City establishing a Foundation under vines.
"It's actually Eastern Celestial City establishing a Foundation." Blood Eater Daoist spoke in surprise, then his gaze fell on the vine brimming with Spiritual Qi.
Mo Jianchou also witnessed this scene, filled with joy, "Foundation Establishment Item, Demon Water Vine, Eastern Celestial City truly has good luck... he has just begun Foundation Establishment, the Demon Water Vine shouldn't be too depleted, let's go up!"
However.
Blood Eater Daoist did not move.
Because Blood Eater Daoist's gaze was fixed on the Three Evil Flying Corpses.
Though he hadn't met Han Li, he was aware of Han Li's prowess.
Blood Eater Daoist hesitated for a long time and finally decided to retreat.
He had heard of Han Li's abilities, though unwilling to admit it, he knew he wasn't a match.
"Let's go, with Han Li as the protector, what can we do?" Blood Eater Daoist sighed with resignation, turned, and prepared to leave.
"Han Li!"
Mo Jianchou's face suddenly darkened.
He was blinded by the Demon Water Vine just now and completely ignored this matter.
Right.
Deadman Peak indeed has Han Li.
How could they be a match for Han Li?
Mo Jianchou and the others, although reluctant, upon seeing that their mainstay, the strongest among them, Blood Eater Daoist had retreated, had to follow obediently. Without Blood Eater Daoist's participation, they knew they couldn't defeat Han Li from Deadman Peak even if they joined forces.
After all, Han Li's battlefield achievements were chronicled by the Celestial Left Alliance, easily killing Liu Qianling and destroying Gui Tian Sheng.
Among Qi Cultivation Perfection, who could rival him?
At that moment, Ku Yue, least willing to leave, didn't want to see Eastern Celestial City succeed in establishing a Foundation. Yet he knew that wasn't Han Li, but Han Li's corpse that had successfully established an External Foundation.
Not only them.
Even with the three hundred people from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, they probably wouldn't be opponents either.
Throughout the entire Celestial Extinction Ruins, only that mysterious Ghost Cultivator could possibly match.
"Eastern, consider yourself lucky!" Despite his unwillingness, Ku Yue chose to retreat, feeling both dejected and resigned.
...
Just after Blood Eater Daoist and others left, Wen Jiu retrieved the Divine Sense of the Three Evil Flying Corpses, ignoring them.
Knowing that they retreated was sufficient.
It saved him from wasting time entering a killing spree.
Blood Eater Daoist and the others' retreat didn't surprise Wen Jiu.
Blood Eater Daoist and his crew were old hands, naturally wouldn't risk their lives for an already in-use Demon Water Vine, and Ku Yue knew his true identity and strength, so even more impossible to stay.
Wen Jiu was a bit surprised that not a single person from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks arrived.
"Looks like there are indeed some wise people in Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks." Wen Jiu silently mused, then looked up to the sky.
The waning moon was nearing fullness.
Perhaps when Eastern Celestial City fully establishes the Foundation, would be the time when the waning moon completes, and the East Spring River emerges.
Expectantly, Wen Jiu let the Three Evil Flying Corpses carefully sense the aura of Eastern Celestial City.
Very stable.
Foundation Establishment should encounter no unexpected problems.
However, when glancing at Ye Chen and the others, they all held their Magical Artifacts with solemn expressions.
Seemingly ready for battle at any moment.
Clearly.
Upon witnessing the phenomenon, Ye Chen and the others had the same thought as himself.
They believed either something extraordinary would be attracted, or Blood Eater Daoist and Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks people would be drawn in.
Wen Jiu didn't clarify this, merely watched quietly as the aura of Eastern Celestial City gradually stabilized and rose.
Thus, this process of Realm Breakthrough lasted two hours, though lengthy, was without incident. Wen Jiu could clearly sense the transformation of Eastern Celestial City's Dao Foundation under the crimson glow.
Without the crimson glow, Eastern Celestial City might only form a Lower Grade Dao Foundation, a Middle Grade being close to the limit.
But with the support of that crimson glow, Eastern Celestial City's Dao Foundation remarkably rose steadily to Upper Grade.
The brilliance of the Dao Foundation was very dazzling.
Evidencing that its quality was not low.
"Succeeded!"
Wen Jiu withdrew his perception, no longer observing.
When Eastern Celestial City's Foundation Establishment aura burst out completely, Ye Chen and others suddenly turned around, overjoyed.
At this moment, Wen Jiu didn't have time to focus on Eastern Celestial City, because as soon as Eastern Celestial City achieved Foundation Establishment success, the crimson glow abruptly stopped, and the image of the blazing sun dimmed, seeming as if it could dissipate any moment.
The waning moon was also heading towards fullness, and as the sun dimmed, the fullness of the waning moon grew more prominent.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han!" The first thing Eastern Celestial City did upon succeeding in Foundation Establishment was to stand up and thank the Three Evil Flying Corpses.
Ye Chen and the others quickly raised their hands in salutation.
"Should there be any need in the future, I shall go through fire and water without hesitation." Eastern Celestial City spoke again. Although others didn't know, he was aware that the absence of disturbance was definitely due to Wen Jiu's presence.
Also, possibly because of Wen Jiu, Ku Yue not only dared not come, but even hesitated to use the Curse of Confusion.
This time's Foundation Establishment, if Ku Yue had continued using the Curse of Confusion, he might not have been able to establish the Foundation so smoothly.
Might have even risked failure.
"Mmm." The Three Evil Flying Corpses transmitted a reply, then immediately utilized Blood Corpse Escape to leave.
For the waning moon would soon reach its perfect state.
But just after Wen Jiu left, as Eastern Celestial City watched the Three Evil Flying Corpses disappear, his heart was filled with endless thoughts.
Alas.
Deadman Peak was too small.
It simply couldn't keep Wen Jiu.
His declaration of going through fire and water without hesitation, in the presence of Wen Jiu, meant little too.
However, fortunately, with Ye Chen at Deadman Peak.
The relationship between Wen Jiu and Deadman Peak may be maintained for a significant period.
[Two updates completed.
See you tomorrow!
Keep those monthly tickets coming!]
