After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

"Not bad, this girl didn't lie to me."

After confirming that Bai Yuxi meant no harm, he decided to go all out and speed up his progress.

A month later, Xu Ze broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Everything happened quietly; the Immortal Concealment Talisman was perfect for this kind of thing.

One day, on a full moon night, Xu Ze went up the mountain with his token, and the forbidden area was bathed in more than just ordinary moonlight.

And the essence of the moon!

After consuming the essence, he could feel his cultivation level rapidly increasing, and even his cultivation technique, the "Mysterious Spirit Sword Art," had broken through to the minor completion stage.

Under the moonlight, Xu Ze held a soft sword and took twenty-seven steps in a row. He was only one step away from completing the fourth form of the Azure Cloud Sword Technique!

"If I can master the fourth move of the Azure Cloud Sword Technique while still in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage... I can show off to my teacher in the future."

Even Ding Wan herself said that she only mastered this fourth move after she had formed her core.

At that time, he utterly defeated a Nascent Soul sword cultivator in the family, leaving him utterly humiliated and terrified.

During this time, Bai Yuxi also went up the mountain several times to secretly watch the young man dance with his sword under the moon. However, when she saw those scenes that seemed like those of a sword immortal, she was stunned and stood there in a daze several times.

"He's actually at the Foundation Establishment stage... He's concealed his cultivation level? And even the elders in the sect didn't notice?"

Xu Ze's figure became more and more familiar in her mind.

I am certain that I have met the other person.

Moreover, he was someone who was his benefactor!

But why can't I remember?

Okay, never mind! I have to repay this kindness!!

No, I'm just a toy branded with the mark of slavery, how could I be worthy of my benefactor...

These past few days, Bai Yuxi has been "mining" again.

She ended up doing the thing she hated most, and even more often than before.

There was even an instance where she was so engrossed in watching Xu Ze practice swordsmanship that she fainted.

To put it bluntly, they've given up.

Why is this guy not interested in me at all?!

All they do is cultivate, cultivate.

Aren't you bored?

No, they are different from me; their pursuit is to attain immortality.

Unlike me, he has a bright future.

They dug and dug inside the tiny cave.

time flies.

Half a year is but a fleeting moment in the world of cultivation.

Xu Ze still failed to master the fourth move, but his cultivation level reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The moonlight was indeed divinely aiding me.

I wonder who that fairy who supposedly ascended to the celestial realm right beneath my feet was.

"I've been a bit bored lately, so I've finished learning all the basic formations. I should be at the peak of a ninth-grade formation master now, um... half a step into the eighth grade."

He slowly stood up, clenched his fist, and adjusted his cultivation level to the late stage of Qi Refining.

"It's time to take the inner disciple assessment and then get access to books with higher access levels."

During this period of time.

It seems that every few days, elders and peak masters in the sect would descend with their divine senses to investigate the disciples on the twelve peaks.

Everyone wants to find out who released that sword intent.

Especially He Yundao.

This old man is on his last legs and has gone completely insane.

His direct disciples now mostly avoid him.

Even the inner disciples kept their distance.

……

No money? Easy!

"Your 'body' is worth a lot of contribution points. How about this, let me have some fun, and I'll give you a 2,000 discount. That's a pretty high price..."

On this day, Dong Wei came to Yaoyue Peak to demand the return of a loan from Gao Lifeng.

He and a few henchmen blocked the other party's way and forced him to "pay with his body" to settle the debt.

The female disciple suffered endless bullying and, unable to bear the humiliation any longer, chose to commit suicide on the spot.

As a steward, Widow Qin could not sit idly by in such a matter, but unfortunately, the other party was a direct disciple of the peak master, and even if she told Peak Master Yaoyue, the 'Third Elder,' it would be of no use.

In the end, it could only be left unresolved.

"Beast."

Xu Ze snorted coldly.

But soon, he had an idea to kill two birds with one stone.

Xu Ze turned back to the cave and saw Bai Yuxi, who was in despair. He immediately shook her awake and earnestly advised her that fingers shouldn't be used like that.

"I'm asking you, how did you and He Yundao contact each other before?"

Bai Yuxi's resentment was almost overflowing, but she couldn't bring herself to get angry at the boy in front of her.

In the end, I obediently gave it to him.

He gave him He Yundao's communication jade slip.

Soon, a secret intelligence report was sent to Thousand-Foot Peak.

At that moment, the old man was so happy that his beard almost flew off.

God help me too!

"Good! Little girl! If what you say is true, I will surely reward you handsomely in the future!!"

He laughed heartily and immediately used his treasured resources and connections to bribe an elder he knew well, finding a pretext to send Gao Lifeng away.

They then flew to Dong Wei's cave.

The thought of dying, coupled with overwhelming joy, led He Yundao to make a desperate gamble without hesitation.

Not to mention, as soon as he entered, his divine sense swept over the cave and he sensed that there was indeed a trace of extremely weak scorching sword energy remaining inside!

"really!!"

He Yundao had no more doubts, and his old face grinned into a hideous chrysanthemum.

This is Xu Ze placing a piece of the puppet fragment that he had previously separated with his sword intent onto Dong Wei.

Such a small area would go unnoticed by anyone under normal circumstances.

At such close range, and with He Yundao using all his strength to probe, he could sense a faint, almost imperceptible lingering sword intent!

He waved his hand to break the cave's protective barrier and stepped inside.

"Hehehe," He Yundao grinned as he looked at the young man who had jumped up in surprise at the sound.

"Wei, are you practicing again?"

Chapter 40 Let me see

Dong Wei looked at the disheveled old man in front of him, his face filled with terror.

"Elder He?!"

He didn't understand why the other party wasn't staying on his own Thousand-Foot Peak, but instead came to his cave.

But soon.

Some of the rumors suddenly reminded Dong Wei of the reason, and his pupils constricted sharply.

Could this old guy be trying to possess me?!

"Elder, my master and you have been friends for many years... Please don't do anything against the natural order!"

In the face of life and death, Dong Wei's mind raced, and he even considered trying to appeal to emotions first.

Right now, the other party has forcibly broken into his cave and broken the restrictions, but Peak Master Gao Li has not appeared immediately, so he has already considered the possibility.

Master must have been sent away!

We must first stabilize the other side.

He Yundao was a peak Golden Core cultivator, while he himself was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages.

If he wanted to possess me, wouldn't that be a matter of minutes?

We need to find a way to delay until Master returns.

"Hmph, that old codger was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage thanks to my pills!" He Yundao sneered at the mention of Peak Master Gao Li, his tone sinister.

"Next, I'll be his apprentice. He's getting all the benefits; he's grateful beyond words."

That's all.

He exuded a terrifying aura. Cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan often experience a period of renewed vigor, during which their strength is even more terrifying than at their peak.

At this moment, He Yundao's eyes were filled with greed as he stared at Dong Wei's body with lust.

"I never expected you to be able to comprehend sword intent, and to have kept it so well hidden..."

Upon hearing this, Dong Wei, who was already covered in a cold sweat, immediately looked bewildered:

"Sword intent?"

What is this guy talking about?
