s rumored that the Dingtian Group has a mafia background and they cover the entire Dongcheng District. Moreover, they do all kinds of evil deeds here!"Upon hearing that these people were sent by Dingt...Chapter 790: Foundation Establishment Ceremony (8)
About half an hour later, a terrifying aura suddenly emerged from a mountain peak at the back of the grand hall. As this aura appeared, a ray of cold light flashed and vanished on another mountain peak before reappearing in the square in front of the grand hall.
High above the grand hall's square stood an untidy-looking Taoist dressed in a Daoist robe with a flying sword underfoot. His imposing presence made everyone in the square feel suffocated, and some people even fell to their knees gasping for breath.
No matter whether they were mid-stage or late-stage Qi Refiners, all these people looked at the untidy-looking Taoist in shock.
"Pay your respects to our ancestor!" When everyone from Kunlun Mountain saw this Taoist, they bowed down together.
"What's going on" After seeing everything in the square, the old Taoist slowly retracted his aura and asked.
"Our ancestor... it's like this..." Upon hearing the untidy-looking Taoist's question, the Kunlun Sect master began to narrate the events.
After listening to the Kunlun Sect master's explanation, the untidy-looking Taoist turned and looked at Xiao Yu who was standing beside him. He had noticed this young man when his aura first appeared and found that he remained unchanged in appearance despite being under such pressure.
Upon a closer look now, the Taoist's expression changed involuntarily as he felt secretly shocked; he couldn't sense Xiao Yu’s cultivation level at all.
It was worth noting that his primordial energy had already liquefied to 99%, and only one step away from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. But this last step had been holding him back for fifty years.
Even without a breakthrough, he firmly believed that he was the strongest person in the mortal world, no doubt about it. But now that his cultivation level couldn't see through Xiao Yu's, how could he not be alarmed
At this moment, Xiao Yu was also looking at the untidy-looking Taoist. When the Taoist flew over just then, Xiao Yu had seen him clearly and knew that his true strength wasn’t hidden from this old man either. Logically speaking, such a cultivation level shouldn't be able to pose any threat to him, but he sensed some danger emanating from this Taoist.
He hadn't felt like this even when facing those people who had joined forces against him earlier.
"Who are you..." The untidy-looking Taoist looked at Xiao Yu and asked cautiously. Not only did Xiao Yu feel threatened, the same sense of fatal danger was coming from this young man too. Although there were no signs of cultivation on Xiao Yu's body, he could feel an aura emanating from him that made his soul tremble.
"Heh heh, a cultivator from the state. Fellow Daoist, you're not my match. Acting according to the state's rules won't harm you; it merely intends to return this secular world entirely to ordinary people!" Upon hearing the slovenly daoist's question, Xiao Yu laughed lightly and said.
"Humph, whether or not we are opponents will be known after a fight. Don’t worry! If I lose, I'll act as their representative and follow the state’s rules!" Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the old daoist snorted coldly in reply.
Although he spoke casually, his expression did not relax at all.
"Here we go!!!" The old daoist shouted to Xiao Yu and stepped onto a flying sword, ascending into mid-air.
Seeing the old daoist ascend, Xiao Yu likewise urged his own flying sword up into the sky.
"Receive my strongest strike!" The old daoist bellowed at Xiao Yu as he pulled out a flying sword from behind him. This sword shimmered with milky white light, exuding an aura of nobility and pride, like a king among swords.
"Xuan Yuan Sword......" When the sword rose up, Xiao Yu gasped in surprise.
When this sword was lifted up, Xiao Yu instantly recognized it as Xuan Yuan, the king of swords. He had seen this sword many times before when Zhong Kui wielded it, so he naturally knew it too. As the sword rose higher, Xiao Yu felt an increasingly intense sense of danger.
At the same time, his wooden sword trembled involuntarily as Xuan Yuan Sword ascended. Felt this trembling, a shiver ran down Xiao Yu’s spine and he thought inwardly, ‘What a mighty king of swords! ’.
"Whoosh....... " After feeling the trembling in his wooden sword, Xiao Yu formed a hand seal with his fingers. Instantly, the wooden sword vanished from under him and reappeared in his hands.
Once the wooden sword was gone, Xiao Yu floated freely in mid-air.
"Hummm........." Seeing Xiao Yu suspended in the air, those around him could no longer remain calm. One by one, they stood up with shocked looks on their faces as they stared at Xiao Yu; even the peak Qi Refiners from different sects were equally dumbstruck and speechless.
Across from Xiao Yu, the slovenly daoist was similarly stunned when he saw this scene. Trembling slightly, he said,
To think that after being trapped in the near-liquidation state for fifty years without finding a breakthrough opportunity, a young man barely twenty years old had actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage; how could such a thing fail to shock him
"Hmph, so what if you've established a foundation Let's see if you can withstand my sword!" Soon after, the slovenly Taoist calmed down and coldly snorted at Xiao Yu. As he did, an Excalibur above his head emitted a beam of white light and shot toward Xiao Yu.
"Go!" Upon seeing this attacking Excalibur, Xiao Yu held his wooden sword and shouted loudly. The wooden sword in his hand shone with a golden light, heading towards the rushing Excalibur.
“Boom........” A loud noise echoed as the white Excalibur and the golden wooden sword collided with long trails of light.
When Xiao Yu saw these two swords collide, his expression changed. To others, it was impossible to see clearly when the two swords clashed. But in his eyes, everything was crystal clear. The wooden sword was already covered with cracks from this collision.
"Haha, so what if you've established a foundation Is thousands of years of our Kunlun transmission some kind of joke" Clearly feeling the condition of Xiao Yu's wooden sword, the slovenly Taoist burst out laughing.
Although he was laughing, his hand didn't stop. Once he sensed that Xiao Yu’s wooden sword was riddled with cracks, he controlled the Excalibur to charge at Xiao Yu again.
Xiao Yu looked at the wooden sword in his hands; if not for the support of righteous energy, it would probably have shattered into pieces by now. The wood sword couldn't withstand another impact like this.
Seeing the charging Excalibur once more, Xiao Yu's expression changed as he started forming a strange hand sign. The speed of his hand movements increased until they could only be seen as blurs.
"Sl...a...t...he..d...e...v...i...l......" Amidst the blur, a mighty and stern voice suddenly echoed out from Xiao Yu's mouth. This voice sounded like the will of heaven, reverberating throughout the entire Kunlun base camp.
As he shouted, the sword for slaying devils composed of mysterious patterns in his mind began to tremble lightly. Soon after, this sword made of mysterious patterns vanished from his mind and appeared in mid-air.
"W...hat......Heav...en.....S..t..o..p...st...op...w...e...y...i...eld..." Seeing the giant sword composed of mysterious patterns above Xiao Yu's head, the slovenly Taoist’s expression changed. He seemed to think for a moment and then became extremely shocked. Shouting at Xiao Yu, he controlled the Excalibur that was heading towards him to return.
“Huh” Just as Xiao Yu summoned the sword of slaying devils, he heard what the slovenly Taoist said and couldn't help but be taken aback. Why did this previously aggressive Taoist suddenly back down
Not only them, even people from Kunlun and others were left stunned, not understanding what was happening.
"We have lost this competition; let’s follow the country's rules! If you don't listen, we’ll deal with it according to our sect regulations without any mercy!" Seeing that Xiao Yu had also stopped, the slovenly Taoist turned around and said to the Kunlun Sect Master and others.
"But..."
"No buts, just do as I say. You'll understand why later!" When the slovenly Taoist said this, the leader of Kunlun Sect was about to speak up, but was interrupted by the slovenly Taoist.
“Friend, would you like to join me for a discussion in the back mountain” After addressing the leader of Kunlun Sect, the slovenly Taoist turned and spoke to Xiao Yu.
"Oh" Hearing the slovenly Taoist's words, Xiao Yu couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
At that moment, an urgent voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yu’s ear: "This concerns something important. Please come with me!" This was the old Taoist sending him a message using voice transmission technique. When Xiao Yu heard this, he looked at the old Taoist. Seeing the expectant look on the old Taoist's face, he nodded involuntarily.
“You all entertain these peers properly, we'll be back shortly!” After seeing Xiao Yu agree, the slovenly Taoist turned to the leader of Kunlun Sect and said this.
Xiao Yu also turned to those from his family's faction: "Rest for a moment. I will return soon!"
"Leader, be careful!"
"Yes! Leader, take care!"
When they heard Xiao Yu’s words, the people from the family and Master Baiyun all said this to him.
The way they addressed Xiao Yu had changed. They used to see him as an equal to their nation, but now Foundation Establishment realm! A realm he was destined to look up to for his entire life. It's worth noting that the founder of their family clan was only at the Foundation Establishment stage before the great calamity of heaven and earth.
Hearing what they said, Xiao Yu nodded, then left the grand hall square with the slovenly Taoist, flying towards the back mountain.
When they arrived at a cave entrance in the back mountain, the slovenly Taoist asked Xiao Yu: "Friend, I believe you must be curious as to why I called you."she shyly greeted them both.With Teacher Cai and Teacher Bai leading the way, Xiao Yu and Yun Xi returned to Rong Bao Zhai once again. Upon seeing that they were back here, Xiao Yu shook his head inwa...
