Chapter 845 In Danger
Wei Yuan immediately locked onto the girl undergoing tribulation with his divine sense, and then discovered that this girl who had infiltrated the Dao soldier team was actually Xu Shiba, who was in a state of being left to her own devices. Moreover, the tribulation she was undergoing was not the tribulation to advance to the Dao Foundation stage, but the Heavenly Tribulation to advance from the middle stage to the late stage.

Can there be a heavenly tribulation at this stage? In Wei Yuan's memory, apart from himself, no one else seems to have undergone a tribulation in such a flamboyant way.

But no matter what, the result is good. With the help of the aftermath of the heavenly tribulation, more than 40% of the Dao soldiers have formed their Dao foundations, a result that far exceeded Wei Yuan's expectations.

Just as Wei Yuan was about to step forward and grab Xu Shiba for detailed interrogation, endless sword light suddenly appeared before his eyes. Hundreds of immortal swords formed a giant hand, which used two fingers to grab Wei Yuan and pull him back to his original spot.

Calamity clouds appeared in the sky once again; was there even a heavenly tribulation?

This round of heavenly tribulation was relatively normal. The seven tribulation lightning bolts fell one after another without merging or mutating. Another girl flew into the sky, also wielding a giant sword, and used the seven swords to annihilate the seven layers of tribulation lightning.

Then the primordial energy of heaven and earth descended, and many Dao soldiers who were just one step away from breaking through were once again immersed in the primordial energy of heaven and earth, finally crossing the last threshold!
Looking at the vast expanse of Dao Foundation light, Wei Yuan felt somewhat numb.

With the tribulation finally over, Wei Yuan waved his hand and pulled the two girls in front of him. They were about the same height, slightly taller than Wei Yuan's shoulders, which was considered tall for girls.

The girl who had just undergone her tribulation stuck out her tongue at Wei Yuan and then called out, "Daddy."

Wei Yuan's face turned ashen, but he couldn't resort to violence in front of everyone. Fortunately, Zhang Sheng had already disappeared, otherwise Wei Yuan felt he might have lost his temper on the spot.

The girl who transcended tribulation and established her Dao foundation was the reincarnation of the junior sister. She named herself Wei Ying, regardless of whether Wei Yuan agreed or not. Just like when Xu Shiba recognized Xu Wenwu as his father.

Below them was still an ocean of light representing the Dao Foundation, which was the most urgent matter to be dealt with immediately. Wei Yuan then said to the two girls, "Go down and consolidate your Dao Foundation first. Don't run around. I'll have questions for you later!"

The two girls disappeared in a flash, not daring to look back.

Wei Yuan lowered his altitude and looked at the Dao Foundations rising and falling in the sea of ​​light, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Ten thousand trainees participated in the ceremony. After two rounds of baptism by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, nearly 80% of them had formed their Dao foundation! Among them, more than 90% were young men from the Xu family, while the sacrificial offerings had a 50% chance of success.

These seven thousand-plus Dao Foundations are not production-type Dao Foundations, but Dao Soldiers specifically created for combat. Even if template Dao Foundations are used, they are templates like the Remnant Fire Sword that guarantee basic combat power. Including the previous five thousand-plus people, Qingming has actually gained twelve thousand Dao Foundations in this round of the Dao Foundation Ceremony!
Although most of the Azure Nether cultivators outside of the Dao Soldiers were template-based Dao Foundation cultivators, and there were hundreds of sterilization and disinfection gases inside, it still couldn't change the fact that the overall strength of the Azure Nether had increased dramatically.

"More than seven thousand Dao Foundations, more than seven thousand..." Wei Yuan sighed inwardly as he showered his Qi with blessings to help the Dao Soldiers consolidate their realms.

The two heavenly tribulations had already drawn the attention of the elders of various families, and when they saw the vast ocean of light that followed, they were even more astonished!

Those are not useless Dao Foundations, but Dao Soldiers! The Dao Soldiers of the Primordial Palace are famous throughout the world, and many elders of various families can recognize the special Dao aura on them.

The stronger the individual Dao soldiers are, the stronger the group becomes; and the stronger the group becomes, the stronger the individual soldiers become. With an additional seven thousand Dao foundations added in one go, the enhancement this group of Dao soldiers received has reached a terrifying level.

When the Daoist Rhyme was first discovered, the elders were wondering to themselves, "They even gave Wei Yuan a treasure like the Daoist Weapon Hall. It seems we need to reassess the Taichu Palace's support for Wei Yuan."

Now, in the face of the Ocean of Light, all the elders had the same thought: If the Dao Weapon Hall doesn't give it to Wei Yuan, who else can it give it to?
Before Wei Yuan could recover from the shock, he suddenly felt streams of various kinds of fortune flying towards him. He then realized what was happening, but it was too late to hide the Dao soldiers below.

Wei Yuan originally only wanted to demonstrate his strength to the world, to show everyone a couple of fangs. But he didn't expect that his entire mouth would be full of fangs. Now it's not a matter of showing off anymore, but whether he'll scare everyone.

Fortunately, Wei Yuan learned a lot from the elders of Tianqing Palace. For example, when he was shocked and at a loss, it was best to stand with his hands behind his back, say less and do less, so that he could at least leave people with an impression of being unfathomable.

The Dao soldiers slowly absorbed their newly formed Dao foundations into their bodies, then lined up and left to return to their camp to rest. In the center of the Dao soldier camp was the Dao Soldier Hall; within a certain radius of the Dao Soldier Hall, cultivation and recovery would be faster.

Watching the departing groups of Dao soldiers, Wei Yuan suddenly had an idea. These young men from the Xu family had a 90% chance of achieving the Dao Foundation. Could this be what the human race should be like?

From this perspective, perhaps we should re-evaluate Xu Wangu's actions back then, and perhaps we can even learn from many of his experiences.

The grand ceremony finally came to an end, and the results were extremely impressive. A total of 15,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators were born, which was incredible in both number and proportion.

As soon as the ceremony ended, many elders from aristocratic families and sects lined up to see Wei Yuan, but they were all stopped by their own disciples in Qingming, such as Cui Yu, Bao Yun, and Xu Henshui.

The only family that didn't clamor to see Wei Yuan was the Li family of Southern Qi. Several elders surrounded Li Zhi, talking about something, their expressions quite complicated.

Wei Yuan immediately seized Xu Shiba and Wei Ying, dragged them to the Immortal City, and prepared to interrogate them.

Actually, if you really think about it, these two little ones are still a few years away from ten years old. Xu Shiba is a little older, but only about six or seven years old. Their growth rate is too fast, and their body-forming speed is also much faster than normal.

Wei Yuan suddenly had an idea. Xu Shiba is already in the late stage of Dao Foundation. If she were to successfully advance in a few more years, wouldn't she become a ten-year-old Dharma Avatar?

Thinking of her heavy sword, which carried the true meaning of the Eternal Sword, Wei Yuan felt that his reputation as a genius was in grave danger.

"Why did you two come to the Dao Foundation Ceremony to cause trouble?" Wei Yuan's face hardened, and his voice was filled with murderous intent.

The two giggling girls quickly realized that Wei Yuan wasn't joking, and their smiles slowly faded.

Xu Shiba honestly replied, "We didn't come here to cause trouble. We received a hint that our path to enlightenment lies in this Foundation Establishment Ceremony. The hint was very clear: we must undergo our tribulation at the ceremony in the eleventh year of the Tianqi era."

"Who gave you the hint?" Wei Yuan pressed.

“My foundation, here it is.” Xu Shiba materialized the giant sword and handed it to Wei Yuan.

This greatsword is almost identical to the one Xu Shiqi used back then, and it contains a trace of the true essence of the Eternal Sword. This essence is like a seed, which may sprout and blossom at any time.

Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes. If what Xu Shiba said was true, then the seeds had probably been sown when he brought the Xu family youths out of the secret realm, just waiting to take root and sprout today.
