Two months later.
Deep in the mountains of the Yanlai Realm.
Lin Chen was suspended high in the air, mobilizing his True Essence.
Six upper-grade magical flying knives danced around him as if they were extensions of his arms, tracing arcs in the air.
Every ti the blades flashed, blood splattered everywhere, causing cries of anguish to echo throughout the place.
In just a mont, dozens of bodies lay sprawled on the ground.
Using his Divine Sense, Lin Chen scanned the area, confirming no Tribulation Cultivators were alive, and slowly descended.
At the sa ti, two figures approached, their faces respectful.
"Junior Brother Lin... oh no, Senior Brother Lin!"
"Although Senior Brother has just entered the Foundation Establishnt Stage, the depth of this True Essence is comparable to that of soone at the third layer of Foundation Establishnt!"
The two who spoke were naturally the Inner Sect disciples who had previously accompanied Lin Chen.
Since that ti they eradicated Tribulation Cultivators and reaped substantial benefits, Lin Chen occasionally cooperated with them to earn so sect contributions.
"Two Senior Brothers, you praise too highly! I was rely fortunate to establish a foundation; in terms of qualifications and experience, I am far from adequate..."
Lin Chen retrieved his flying knife magical artifact and modestly cupped his hands in gesture.
He referred to these two Qi Refining disciples as Senior Brothers because they were older, a sign of humility in addressing them.
And they called Lin Chen Senior Brother because he established his foundation first, a common form of address based on rank among sect disciples.
Seeing Lin Chen being so humble, the two disciples exchanged a glance and smiled:
"Senior Brother Lin is being too modest... Senior Brother’s True Essence is so abundant, could it be an upper-grade foundation?"
"Haha, it was rely a fortunate Perfect Foundation Establishnt..."
Lin Chen did not hide it, as the Perfect Foundation Establishnt would be crucial for his battles beyond his level in the future.
"What? A Perfect Foundation Establishnt!"
Upon hearing this, respect filled their eyes even more, though they couldn’t help but feel so envy.
Lin Chen smiled silently, his gaze turning to Li Zhenqian behind them, teasingly:
"Junior Brother Li, your Magical Power is perfected; you must be close to establishing your foundation as well?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenqian’s face imdiately turned red.
Bumblingly, he replied, "N-no, that’s correct!"
"I, too, intend for a Perfect Foundation Establishnt, didn’t expect Senior Brother Lin to beat to it..."
The more Li Zhenqian spoke, the quieter he beca, hanging his head lower and lower.
In fact, he originally planned only for an upper-grade foundation.
But he hadn’t expected Lin Chen not only to establish his foundation first, but also to achieve a Perfect Foundation, leaving him deeply affected.
"I can’t, if my foundation is rely upper-grade, I’ll never catch up to Lin Chen!"
"Could it be... I’ll have to call him Senior Brother forever?"
At this mont, myriad thoughts coursed through Li Zhenqian’s mind.
He was determined; he must aim for a Perfect Foundation Establishnt to stand a chance at surpassing Lin Chen.
Lin Chen observed Li Zhenqian’s thoughts but didn’t reveal it, instead saying:
"Haha, in that case, let preemptively congratulate Junior Brother Li on his future foundation!"
Upon saying so, Lin Chen utilized his True Essence, retrieving the storage bags from the Tribulation Cultivators.
Li Zhenqian and the others also moved to collect the spoils of victory.
A mont later.
After the two Inner Sect disciples collected the spoils, they approached Lin Chen.
"For the past two months, thank you, Senior Brother Lin, for your care... we’ve gathered enough resources and are heading back to the sect for our foundation, not aiming for a Perfect Foundation like Senior Brother, but satisfied with a middle-grade foundation..."
After speaking, they asked:
"Senior Brother, will you accompany us back to the sect?"
Lin Chen shook his head upon hearing this, saying:
"I have so personal matters to attend to, you two go on ahead."
Upon hearing this, the two controlled their artifacts and returned to the sect.
At this ti, seeing Li Zhenqian had not yet left, Lin Chen asked:
"Junior Brother Li, are you heading back to the sect?"
Li Zhenqian shook his head, "I plan to return ho; sothing requires my attention..."
In truth, Li Zhenqian intended to return ho to seek further resources in hopes of achieving a Perfect Foundation.
Lin Chen nodded and cupped his hands in farewell:
"In that case, I will be on my way first..."
With that, Lin Chen summoned his Purple Jade Gourd and leapt onto it.
His Foundation Establishnt cultivation was fully revealed as he headed into the distance.
Li Zhenqian stood in place, full of envy for a long ti.
After a while, he, too, controlled his artifact and traveled in another direction.
Lin Chen circled within a hundred-mile radius, ensuring no one followed, then changed his appearance with clothing and shifted direction, controlling his sword towards Yanlai City.
...
As the flying sword dashed through the air, Lin Chen reflected on the past two months’ events.
In the past two months, Yanlai Realm’s situation had experienced trendous changes.
First and foremost, the greatest change was naturally within the Tribulation Cultivator powers of the Yanlai Realm.
Since the Changchun Sect issued tasks, over a hundred large and small Tribulation Cultivator powers had been eradicated.
Normally, these Tribulation Cultivators would hide and blend among the Loose Cultivators to escape attention.
But unexpectedly, these Tribulation Cultivator powers were absorbed by the largest of the eighteen Tribulation Cultivator routes.
Ultimately, within Yanlai Realm, there were still more than twenty Tribulation Cultivator factions, each with Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in command, posing an even greater threat than before.
Even more surprising to Lin Chen was the change within the Wild Wolf Sect.
Originally, after the loss of Ye Langzi, their Sect Leader, the Wild Wolf Sect should have been as scattered as sand, at the rcy of Changchun Sect.
However, an unknown cultivator claiming to be Senior Brother of Ye Langzi erged to reorganize the Wild Wolf Sect.
And this ’Senior Brother of Ye Langzi’ was indeed a true Golden Core Cultivator.
Thus, the confrontation between the two sects beca even fiercer than before.
In the past two months alone, as far as Lin Chen knew, the number of Changchun Sect Outer and Inner Sect disciples who had died or disappeared was not less than a hundred...
Of course, the casualties in the Wild Wolf Sect were even more severe.
Out of over a thousand sect disciples, likely no fewer than three hundred were killed or injured.
And after the battle between the two sects, Changchun Sect exhibited the prowess of a thousand-year-old sect as expected.
Steady for three hundred years, the Changchun Sect accumulated vast resources for cultivation, pills, magical treasures, and so on.
It opened them up to disciples comprehensively: as long as they had sect contributions, there was unlimited access to Foundation Establishnt Pills!
