“Ah…”
Taixu Old Ancestor waved his hand, “It’s good if you’re not looking for me… You two go!”
“Your matters, resolve them yourselves!”
“This Old Ancestor will not participate!”
He Pingsheng and Xuanyang walked out of the main hall.
“Hehehe… Junior Brother!” Xuanyang said, “It’s truly Feelings ah…”
He Pingsheng said, “Indeed, back then I even took your big ship to that Secret Realm!”
“Now, the two of us are already calling each other brothers!”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
The two walked into the side hall.
He Pingsheng took out two books.
The first book: Xuanmen Jingxin True Technique.
The second book: Celestial Demon Seed Spirit Method.
“Which one will you cultivate?” He Pingsheng asked Xuanyang.
These two Cultivation Techniques each had their pros and cons.
For the Xuanmen Jingxin True Technique, He Pingsheng only copied three chapters: Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, and Golden Core.
The advantage was that it was a Xuanmen Cultivation Technique.
As for the Celestial Demon Seed Spirit Method, it was a Demonic Cultivation Technique, but its advantage was that it was more complete, with four chapters, adding a Nascent Soul Stage chapter.
“This one!” Xuanyang extended his withered hand and took the Xuanmen Jingxin True Technique into his hand.
“This Old Ancestor fears it will be difficult to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage in this lifetime!”
“So three chapters are enough!”
“Oh!” He Pingsheng said, “Alright Senior Brother… Please wait a moment, I will copy it for you and then personally deliver it in a couple of days, is that alright?”
The copy He Pingsheng held was not complete.
When he copied it back then, he intentionally made a few mistakes.
The purpose was to make sure that even if someone got it, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate it.
But now that Xuanyang was the one seeking the scripture, He Pingsheng did not plan to trick him, because He Pingsheng had a rather good impression of Xuanyang.
“Alright!” Xuanyang said, “Then I’ll trouble you, Junior Brother!”
“Hehehehe… Thank you, Junior Brother!”
“From now on, within this Tai Xu Sect, if Junior Brother encounters anything, as long as I, Xuanyang, can solve it, just say the word!”
Xuanyang was an Elder of the Internal Affairs Hall.
The Internal Affairs Hall held great power; he managed the entire Tai Xu Sect’s treasury, mineral resources, and the allocation of resources to Disciples, and so on.
Of course, Xuanyang’s strength was also not to be underestimated.
“Senior Brother!” He Pingsheng asked, “What happened with the Hou Family matter last time? I heard you all took action?”
“Hehehe…”
Xuanyang chuckled, saying, “Naturally, we annihilated them, otherwise, should we keep them for the New Year?”
“Annihilated?” He Pingsheng was very surprised, saying, “Even the Beast Controlling Sect was annihilated?”
“What are you thinking?” Xuanyang rolled his eyes at He Pingsheng, “The Beast Controlling Sect has two Great Nascent Souls, and a Grade Four Mountain Protecting Formation. Do you think a few of us small Golden Core Cultivators could annihilate them?”
“I was talking about the Hou Family!”
“The Beast Controlling Sect pushed all the blame onto the Hou Family. Since that was the case, we didn’t hold back and instantly wiped out the Hou Family!”
“Sigh… Speaking of which, this Hou Family was even a descendant of our Senior Brother!”
“Senior Brother?” He Pingsheng said, “Which Senior Brother?”
Xuanyang said, “He died… Much older than even the Great Senior Brother. He was a Disciple Master took in during the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he’s been dead for seven or eight hundred years!”
“However, Junior Brother, I still need to give you a reminder!” Xuanyang said, “Although the Hou Family was annihilated by us, this Beast Controlling Sect is not to be underestimated!”
“In the future, if you encounter Disciples of the Beast Controlling Sect, you still need to be careful!”
After speaking, Xuanyang added, “We and they have a grudge!”
“A grudge?” He Pingsheng said, “Is it very deep?”
Xuanyang said, “The grudge is as deep as the sea!”
“Our two Sects are very close and once competed for a Spirit Stone mine!”
“You also know that when our Master was young, he was known as the number one person in the entire Dao Xuan Alliance. At that time, he made a move and instantly cut down the Grand Elder of the Beast Controlling Sect, who was also at the Nascent Soul Stage.”
“Only then did the dispute over this Spirit Stone mine come to an end, falling under the ownership of our Tai Xu Sect!”
“Although Old Ancestor is invincible, times change, and the descendants of the Beast Controlling Sect are much more promising than us, producing two Great Nascent Souls in one go!”
“They are currently wary of Old Ancestor and dare not act rashly, but it is conceivable that once Master ascends to immortality…”
“Alas…”
“At that time, it will surely be a bloodbath!”
Xuanyang left.
He Pingsheng now had a clear understanding of the Beast Controlling Sect.
After seeing Xuanyang off, He Pingsheng personally copied the first three chapters of the Xuanmen Jingxin True Art, along with its general outline, and sent it to him.
The following days were rather uneventful.
He Pingsheng spent another two years on tenterhooks, yet still found no signs of Taixu Old Ancestor attempting to Possess him.
This even led him to believe that Taixu had no such intention.
However, a gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall.
He Pingsheng still meticulously planned a perfect escape in his mind every day.
It was just that Qiao Huizhu’s Baiyin Talisman had not yet arrived.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
It was time to Breakthrough.
Because He Pingsheng had cultivated everything—Spirit Refining, Body Refining, and his five Dantians—to the Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage Twelfth Level.
In the side hall, He Pingsheng reached out and took out a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Quality: High Grade!
This Foundation Establishment Pill was something he had requested from Elder Xuanyang.
He gave that old fellow a Heaven Rank Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique; asking for a Foundation Establishment Pill wasn’t too much, right?
As for the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, he didn’t take it out.
Under the Old Ancestor’s surveillance, He Pingsheng dared not take it out.
He would try with the High Grade Foundation Establishment Pill first.
What if he succeeded in the Breakthrough?
Opening his mouth, he swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill into his abdomen, and He Pingsheng began to frantically circulate the Li Fire True Method to refine the immense energy within the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Under his guidance, this energy surged like tides, continuously impacting an invisible bottleneck within his body.
Once!
Twice!
Thrice!
Then, it suddenly opened up.
The bottleneck was broken through.
Foundation Establishment Stage, reached!
“I… I’m at Foundation Establishment Stage First Level?”
He Pingsheng opened his eyes in surprise.
He felt that everything around him was a little different.
His Divine Thought had increased.
Logically speaking, an ordinary Disciple at Foundation Establishment Stage First Level could extend their Divine Thought up to a hundred zhang.
But now, He Pingsheng’s Divine Thought had directly reached a strength of three hundred zhang.
What a powerful feeling.
“Hehehe… It actually succeeded!” He Pingsheng almost thought he was dreaming.
He pinched his thigh hard.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
It wasn’t a dream.
Foundation Establishment Stage!
A Realm that countless Qi Refining Stage Cultivators dreamed of.
Putting everything else aside, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage meant one’s Lifespan could double. If one wasn't struck by a fatal calamity, even if there were no further Breakthroughs in this life, one could live peacefully to around two hundred years old.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
“You’ve Breakthrough!” Just as He Pingsheng was overjoyed, Taixu Old Ancestor’s voice suddenly appeared, “Perfect, now that you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, come over and try with me if you can make Grade Two Formation Plates!”
He Pingsheng’s face immediately fell, “Good heavens.”
After I Breakthrough, you, Old Ancestor, knew so quickly?
The key is… from so far away, how did your voice transmit here?
