Chapter 625: Rainbow Mist (II)
The Foundation Establishment Realm was a life-or-death trial for countless cultivators. Over time, rumors had spread about miraculous artifacts that could bolster success. Among these, the belief that materials related to their respective immortal foundation could secure breakthroughs was the most widespread. Although the Azure Pond Sect had long since disproved this myth through rigorous testing, Yang Xiao'er still held on to the idea that it's better to believe than not.

Your esteemed clan still has six Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. No matter what, they will hold on."
Yuan Chengzhao shook his head and said softly, "If the six ancestors could truly work together, it would not be a problem... but..."
