On this day, the sky was high, the clouds were clear, and the breeze was blowing gently. A group of people were standing on a martial arts stage on the sect's mountain.
Each of these people is full of energy and has an extraordinary bearing. They exude an inexplicable aura, which is the aura of perfect Qi Condensation!
These people all have a fearless and courageous look in their eyes. Even if there are mountains blocking the way ahead, they will split the mountains; even if there is a torrent rushing towards them, they will cut through the torrent and move forward bravely!
Only a young man standing in the front was trembling slightly, as if he was holding back something. Who else could this person be but Gu Xiaoxing?
Gu Xiaoxing was naturally forcing himself not to run away. At this moment, he kept comforting himself in his heart, "It's okay, it's okay. It's impossible for accidents to happen every time I leave the sect. It's not that coincidental!"
How could Gu Xiaoxing not be afraid as he was about to leave the sect again? The truth was that he had suffered a psychological trauma. The first time he went to the Black Forest, he encountered the trap set by Chen Changqing. The second time he went to the Earth Spirit Abyss, he even lured out a Linkage Dan expert!
"It definitely won't happen this time! With Uncle Bai taking the lead, it will definitely be safe!"
Gu Xiaoxing used two affirmations in a row before he felt a little relieved.
Sure enough, in front of the crowd, stood a middle-aged man with an immortal look. It was Master Bai. He had a calm expression and slowly explained the matter of this foundation-building.
“I don’t have much to say. This time, we are not the only sect that will come to Foundation Building Mountain. There are also many famous sects in the small wasteland, including the Sword Controlling Sect, the Body Refining Sect, and the Yunxiao Sect. You should be more careful when you meet them and avoid them if you can…”
In the small wasteland, there are many sects, large and small, among which these three are the leaders, especially the Sword Controlling Sect, because the only Nascent Soul in the small wasteland is the current ancestor of the Sword Controlling Sect!
As for the Lianti Sect and the Yunxiao Sect, although they do not have Nascent Soul ancestors in charge, they are not simple either. Just like the Soul-Devouring Sect has magical treasures to protect the sect, they also have their own methods.
“I would like to remind you that the Foundation Building Mountain opens once every five hundred years. This is the first time that my Soul Devouring Sect has participated in it. When competing for the foundation building opportunity , it is inevitable that we will be targeted. You must be mentally prepared…”
The Foundation Building Mountain opens once every five hundred years, and the Soul-Devouring Sect has only been established for two hundred years!
After hearing this, everyone's hearts changed to some extent. They knew that this trip to Foundation Building Mountain would not be easy. Compared to those old-established sects with thousands of years of heritage and who had entered Foundation Building Mountain several times, they could be said to be completely at a disadvantage. Even if they entered Foundation Building Mountain, they would be completely in the dark, which was equivalent to entering a completely unfamiliar world.
But it’s different with those old sects, they have the experience of their predecessors, and maybe even maps. If we are targeted by them again, then the journey will become more difficult and more dangerous!
But no one backed down. This was a fight for the right path, and they knew the road ahead would be difficult. If they didn't fight today, they would only die faster tomorrow!
Even Gu Xiaoxing did not retreat, because he knew that only those who had reached perfect Qi Condensation could enter the Foundation Establishment Mountain to seize good fortune.
"They are just a bunch of little brats with Qi Condensation skills. What's so scary about that?"
"I'm afraid of building the foundation and forming the elixir, okay!"
Gu Xiaoxing thought so with a lot of disdain in his heart. Didn't he meet a young master of the Yu Jian Sect who had reached the perfect level of Qi Condensation when he was in Di Lingyuan before? He remembered his name was Xu Qianxing. At that time, he chased him and beat him when he was only at the seventh level of Qi Condensation. Not to mention now, Gu Xiaoxing felt that he could blow him up with one hand.
After his cultivation level improved, he started to drift again...
Among a group of disciples, Gu Xiaoxing also saw a familiar face. It was Chen Zili, whom he had not seen for a long time. He still had a dull expression, and his hands were wrapped around the black ancient sword. He looked cool!
But if you look closely, you will immediately find that he is different. In the past, Chen Zili would give people a sense of sharpness even when he was simply standing there, as if he was standing there like a sword. But at this moment, he completely restrained and contained that sharpness. He really looked like an ordinary person, but the more ordinary he was, the more terrifying he would be when he exploded.
Obviously, he gained a lot from the trip to the Sword Tomb.
In addition to Chen Zili, there was another person in the crowd that Gu Xiaoxing was concerned about, and that was a stranger.
As if she had noticed Gu Xiaoxing's gaze, Li Wenru also turned her head to look over, smiled slightly, and nodded. However, when she saw the hint of disgust in the other's eyes, she was stunned.
“Ah…! They are all too thin. In such a big sect, there isn’t even one slightly pretty girl…” Gu Xiaoxing shook his head and sighed secretly, but suddenly, for some reason, he thought of Dongfang Yu and became inexplicably irritated.
At this time, a beautiful figure approached.
"You are...Gu Xiaoxing, Junior Brother Gu, right?"
Gu Xiaoxing looked and saw that the person who was speaking was Li Wenru. She had long black hair like a waterfall, a fair face like a flower, bright white teeth, and she walked like a reed in the wind. She was very beautiful.
But Gu Xiaoxing couldn't see it, and even felt a little disgusted. The only woman in the world who could be very thin and yet look good to him was probably Dongfang Yu. He subconsciously stepped back a little and said, "That's right, who are you?"
"My name is Li Wenru." Li Wenru frowned slightly.
Li Wenru?
Gu Xiaoxing felt as if he had heard it somewhere before. After a little thought, he immediately realized, isn't this person the direct disciple of the Second Elder of Nanhe?
But before Gu Xiaoxing could reply, Li Wenru spoke again. She said, "Since Junior Brother Gu doesn't know me, why do you look at me with such disgust?"
Is it so direct?
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned. He felt a little embarrassed when the other party asked this. Even the people around him looked at him with curiosity.
Is Li Wenru being disliked?
Isn’t she the most beautiful girl in the inner sect?
Gu Xiaoxing, who was a little irritated, didn't want to pay much attention to it, but when she thought that she was at least half a senior sister of Dongfang Yu, she forced a smile and said, "Senior sister, you misunderstood. I just happened to remember some bad things."
Li Wenru still frowned, but this time she said nothing.
“Little brother!”
Suddenly, a clear voice like a bell sounded. Gu Xiaoxing looked over and found that it was Lu Linger. He immediately put on a sour face and said, "Go away. I don't want to see you today!"
Because as soon as he sees Ling'er, he will remember that the broken alchemy furnace stole his Earth Immortal Spring. If the immortal foundation fortune was still there, he would not have to take the risk to fight for the foundation-building fortune and could directly build the immortal foundation!
Damn it!
The little girl didn't think too much about it. A year seemed to have passed without any change. When she heard that her little brother didn't like her, she immediately burst into sad tears.
Gu Xiaoxing felt uneasy and rushed forward to stop her. He was not only trying to stop the little girl from crying, but also to stop the broken alchemy furnace that was slowly floating up and trying to smash towards her.
Gu Xiaoxing was very experienced in teasing the little girl Lu Ling'er, and he could make her smile in just a few moves.
The little girl suddenly handed over a small gourd and said innocently, "Brother, I can't go out with you this time. This is the elixir that Ling'er asked Master to refine for you."
Gu Xiaoxing took it and looked at it, and found that there were not only various elixirs for restoring the soul, replenishing qi and blood, but also a foundation-building pill. Moreover, it seemed that these elixirs were of very good quality and were definitely not ordinary items.
"Boy, Ling'er is still young and simple-minded, so she is not suitable to go to that kind of place. I won't take your immortal foundation in vain. I wanted to give you a big gift, but I don't have enough time. Let's talk about it when you come back. You can take these pills first, and they will be ready for emergency use after you arrive at the Foundation Building Mountain." The Sanyang Spirit Refining Furnace on the little girl's head vibrated slightly.
Big gift?
Gu Xiaoxing blinked his eyes, unable to guess what the great gift Lu was talking about was, but he felt at ease accepting the medicine gourd.
Soon after, after Master Bai had explained everything, he raised his hand and condensed a auspicious cloud, and everyone flew away.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't know how far away the Foundation Building Mountain was, but even with Master Bai's speed in the late Jindan stage, it took him several days to fly. The distance seemed to have lost its meaning. If one had to calculate it, it was probably at least millions of miles, or even tens of millions of miles away!
Along the way, they crossed countless mountains and rivers and saw countless wonders and spectacular sights, which opened Gu Xiaoxing's eyes. He finally realized what Dongfang Yu meant when he said that the world is so big.
Because it is really big. This is the first time that Gu Xiaoxing intuitively feels that even the small wasteland is vast and seems endless, then the entire Thousand Wastelands, and even the Nine Realms above it, how vast must this world be!
Finally, after the fifth day, a mountain appeared in front of everyone. The mountain reached straight into the sky and connected with the sky, standing between heaven and earth like a pillar. Even the sect’s mountain was far inferior to it and could not be compared.
"In fact, the statement that there is only one Nascent Soul in the small wasteland is wrong!" Master Bai's voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears. He continued, "It should be said that there is only one Nascent Soul cultivator. In addition, there is also a Nascent Soul monster beast and a Nascent Soul monster spirit. This Foundation Building Mountain... is the Nascent Soul monster spirit!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked, obviously shocked by Master Bai’s words.
Everyone knows that demon spirits are different from demon beasts. Demon spirits are demons, but cannot be called beasts!
Monsters are all formed by the practice of living beings, most of them are beasts, but there are also plant-like monsters. Demon spirits are formed by the practice of non-living beings, such as mountain monsters and river monsters. They themselves have no life, but they absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over a long period of time and transform into monsters. This kind of existence is a demon spirit!
No one expected that this Foundation Building Mountain was actually a demon spirit, that is, a mountain demon, and a mountain demon in the Nascent Soul stage!
However, when Gu Xiaoxing heard this, he immediately panicked. Didn’t he say that he would only fight against those in the Qi Condensation stage?
Why is Nascent Soul involved again?
From what Master Bai said, it seems that he wants to run into the belly of the Yuanying Mountain Monster?
Gu Xiaoxing wants to run away again...
Master Bai seemed to know that Gu Xiaoxing would think this way. He glanced at him unhappily and continued, "Demon spirits are different from monster beasts, especially mountain monsters that have existed for at least tens of millions of years. Although they have developed intelligence, it is not much. They are mostly instinctive. Even if their cultivation has reached the perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, they do not have the intention to actively attack..."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing felt a little more at ease, but he still felt emotional.
These days, even the mountains have become monsters...
