Chapter 471: Chapter 333: Foundation Establishnt Perfection_1
Black Cloud Mountain.
Yuan Hongyuan has been sitting under a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree for four years.
Streams of pure spiritual energy from all directions poured into his body. His spiritual power fluctuated stronger each day, nearing a certain threshold, breaking through barriers.
His eyes opened, and within the two dark depths were eyes akin to a black cloud, captivating, yet instilling reverent awe. It was as if layers of cloud rested deep within his eyes, concealing formidable power.
Since pretending to be seriously sword-wounded, Yuan Hongyuan made a show of having his family collect healing elixirs, while he tucked himself away here to cultivate.
It’s unknown how the organization verified his story, but they indeed believed Yuan Hongyuan’s excuse.
It seed he truly fought the Divine Wood Sect’s Sword Dao Genius, was severely injured, and even accepted the consoling gift of several spirit pills.
Yuan Hongyuan played dumb, sighing and coughing from ti to ti. After taking the pills, he never left Black Cloud Mountain.
Aside from that, the dication from the organization had also loosened his stagnant cultivation realm.
Joyful, Yuan Hongyuan had his family purchase breakthrough spiritual objects.
Today, he finally overca the bottleneck that troubled him for more than twenty years and advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishnt stage.
Although renowned in the outside world as unbeatable within the sa rank due to his cultivation through force…
But in reality, he knew it was because of cautiousness. Details about his opponents’ techniques were always learned in advance, resulting in his impressive undefeatable record.
The most significant victory was one against three, but that was just leveraging the geographical advantage and setting up a formation in advance. Even then, it was hard to repel three enemies of the sa realm with the united effort of his clan’s cultivators.
Stuck in the early stage of the Foundation Establishnt for hundreds of years, he had already given up ambition, intending to live the rest of his life peacefully.
If there were promising talents in his clan, he would be willing to assist them fully, in hope of continuing the lineage of the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain that he painstakingly created.
But after advancing to mid-Foundation Establishnt, a hint of excitent stirred within Yuan Hongyuan.
Could he still strive for a higher realm?
However, Yuan Hongyuan quickly shook his head with a bitter smile.
He was already over a hundred years old. He had been severely wounded several tis competing for resources when he was young, and estimated that his lifespan was only a hundred years.
He spent a hundred years advancing from the early to the middle Foundation Establishnt stage.
The opportunity for the next breakthrough probably wouldn’t co until on his deathbed.
Moreover, the cultivation technique he practiced, the “Black Cloud Wave Technique,” could only be cultivated up to the late Foundation Establishnt stage. The following part for Foundation Establishnt Perfection and Core Formation stages were held in the hands of the organization’s higher-ups.
However, advancing to mid-Foundation Establishnt was, after all, a good thing.
Yuan Hongyuan used a special talisman to inform his liaison about this breakthrough.
The higher one’s realm in the organization, the more benefits one can receive. He had nearly exhausted the family’s coffers for this breakthrough, so he planned to take on more tasks to earn spirit stones and resources.
Three days later, as Yuan Hongyuan was consolidating his realm, a paper talisman flew over.
After reading the ssage, his face beca solemn, and he imdiately switched on the mountain’s large protective formation.
A familiar figure descended from the sky.
“Congratulations on your breakthrough.”
The man still faced away from Yuan Hongyuan, but his tone was much more polite than before.
“Thank you for the Yuan Enhancent Pills you delivered last ti. Why did you co personally today? Any new assignnts?”
Standing behind the visitor, Yuan Hongyuan had a calm expression but was constantly muttering inside, worrying that it would be another assassination assignnt on the chief of Divine Wood Sect.
“Do you rember your fight with Chen Guixian?”
The question startled Yuan Hongyuan. Those with less experience might have thought their made-up story was exposed, but Yuan Hongyuan had a well-prepared story about his “great battle” with Chen Mobai.
“The pain and injuries inflicted by his domineering Sword Qi, I will never forget it in my life. If I get the chance, I would love to experience his moves again.”
“Good, I’ll give you that opportunity!”
As soon as the visitor replied, a stunned Yuan Hongyuan nearly lost his composure.
[I was just saying it, don’t take it seriously!]
News about the grand battle between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain had already spread throughout Eastern Wilderness.
Chen Mobai, the most eye-catching person in the war who slew three Foundation Establishnt experts, one of which was Mu Hanxiong, a famous Peak Master from Shake Mountain, as well as bravely dived into the territory of Rock Country to duel Ji Dingjin, the second-in-command of Shake Mountain, resulting in a draw.
All these remarkable achievents had elevated Chen Mobai’s reputation as the second sword of Eastern Wilderness.
With Chen Mobai’s fa on the rise, Yuan Hongyuan, who once drew a fight with him and was mutually wounded, also found his status in the organization following suit. Even though they knew he did not rely on strength for cultivation, they acknowledged his outstanding battle skill.
The organization had insiders in Divine Wood Sect and learned that Chen Mobai might beco the Town Guard of Founding Nation. He would surely need to patrol the neighboring markets around Giant Tree Ridge.
They wondered if they could take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate this most brilliant talent the Divine Wood Sect had produced since its split.
However, when others in the organization learned who the target was, they all found excuses to avoid it.
