I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 182 The Infinite Tribulation Foundation that Shocked Everyone
"somebody is coming……"

Li Qingyun possessed the power of divination and had extremely sharp senses. He immediately noticed the fluctuations in the aura in the distance and calmly looked up at the sky.

A moment later, a sharp sword light cut through the sky like a meteor and landed steadily in the yard.

The sword light dissipated, revealing an imposing figure.

The visitor was a female swordsman in her fifties with thick eyebrows, her brows revealing determination and anxiety.

Although her hair was shiny black, her two sword-like thick eyebrows were connected at the bridge of her nose, like a capital "one".

With such distinctive features, Li Qingyun guessed at a glance that she was the swordsman Ma Fenggu, the "girl with straight eyebrows", one of the four great swordsmen of Emei.

Although Ma Fenggu is a woman, her temper is just as bad as any man. Even though she is over fifty years old, she is still domineering and has a fiery temper.

When she heard that her last disciple Du Yichuan might be in danger, she was extremely anxious and immediately rushed from the main hall. She had made up her mind that if anything happened to her disciple, she would risk her own life and drag the monsters in Wuxian Manor to be buried with him.

However, when she arrived at the yard and put down the sword, she was shocked to find several young monsters lying on the ground wailing.

Soon after, the elder practitioners from other sects also arrived one after another. They quickly scanned the entire scene and looked at the monsters lying on the ground all around them. They felt a little relieved in their hearts and a look of relief appeared on their faces.

"These young demons..."

Ma Fenggu's originally tense expression gradually turned into surprise. Her eyes fell on Du Yichuan, who was unharmed. Her expression was a little complicated, and doubts arose in her heart:

"The cultivation base of these monsters is not weak. Could it be that Yichuan has made another breakthrough?"

She knew that Du Yichuan was extremely talented, in no way inferior to other geniuses from the major sects, and even better than the "Jade-faced Little Bodhidharma" Bai Yunrui of that year. However, it seemed incredible that he could still stand intact in the face of the siege of three "Demon Kings" and three "Demon Generals".

Moreover, Ma Fenggu used the art of looking at qi to check and found that the cultivation base of the other human disciples was around the third realm. Logically speaking, they had no chance of winning against the Demon King.

"Could it be that he really turned the tide alone?" she thought to herself.

Du Yichuan saw the doubt in his master's eyes and quickly stepped forward to salute:
"Master..."

He was about to explain when suddenly, a deafening tiger roar once again broke the brief peace in the courtyard.

I saw Tiger Third standing at the gate of the courtyard, his eyes red and full of anger, staring fiercely at the human cultivators in the field, his voice low and angry:
"Who is it? Who hurt my nephew!"

The Liaodong Tiger Tribe is the top force in the northern part of the Liao Kingdom. It has a prominent status and many demon tribes around its leader. It also has always had a very good relationship with Wuxianzhuang.

This time, Hu Laosan got the news about the witch master in Wuxian Village, so he brought the elites of several nearby tribes here, intending to gain the upper hand in the ruins of the Taoist temple of the pre-Qin alchemists.

According to rumors, there are not only mysterious magic treasures here, but also a big secret involving the demon race.

To this end, Tiger Lao San not only took action himself, but also brought with him several younger generations at the level of Demon King, intending to take the initiative, suppress the morale of the human disciples, and gain the upper hand in this competition.

He originally thought that with his nephew's powerful fighting ability, plus the assistance of younger masters from other tribes, he could easily severely injure the disciples of the major sects of the human race, making others hesitate and unable to compete with it in the ruins.

Unexpectedly, the result went against their wishes. Not only was no human disciple injured, but they themselves suffered a great loss.

Tiger Old Third stared at his injured nephew and saw that there was a dent on his head and he was unconscious. The fire of anger was completely ignited and his eyes swept across the human monks in the field like a knife.

"who is it?"

His roar was filled with tremendous anger and murderous intent.

Hearing Tiger Third's loud roar, Ma Fenggu was delighted and sneered:
"Humph, you said yourself that this is a sparring match, and fists and kicks have no eyes. Are you going to blame others for being ruthless?"

She deliberately stretched out the word "exchange", and her tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Under his thick eyebrows, his narrow and long phoenix eyes stared at Hu Lao San, without concealing his provocation.

Her own disciple has shown great prowess and brought honor to their sect, so she naturally has to protect him and will never let the demon clan take advantage of him.

When Du Yichuan saw that his master had misunderstood him, he suddenly felt anxious.

He hurried forward and wanted to explain, but facing such a situation, he also understood that if he pushed out Taoist Gao Renan from Longhu Mountain in front of everyone, it would not only show that he was afraid of the demon clan, but also make the Emei Sect lose face and make the heroes of the world look down on him.

After thinking for a moment, he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart, walked to his master, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Ma Fenggu's originally stern expression changed immediately. After hearing Du Yichuan's explanation, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Qingyun, with an incredible light flashing in her eyes.

Although she was confused and uncertain, she said nothing. With a clang, Su Yue's electric sword was unsheathed.

Ma Fenggu held the hilt of the sword, staring coldly at Tiger Lao San, her voice icy:
"Tiger Third, if you want to get back at me, my Emei Sect will fight you to the end! Today, I, the swordsman, want to see if Tiger Third, who is ranked 26th on the Earthly Fiends List, is worthy of his reputation!"

Her voice was not loud, but every word she said was powerful and carried a strong sense of oppression.

When the surrounding monsters heard this, their hearts suddenly tightened. They felt an invisible sword intent enveloping the surroundings, as if the next moment, this beautiful swordsman would swing his sword to fight the tiger monster to the death.

Tiger Lao San's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce light flashed.

It knew that this woman was a famous lunatic who would not recognize any of her relatives when she went crazy. Moreover, she was highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless. If it wanted to defeat her, it would have to pay a considerable price.

Now that important matters were at hand, there was no need to fight a life-and-death battle with such a crazy woman for a few juniors, so he suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said:
"Just wait for me..."

Tiger Lao San glared at Ma Fenggu fiercely, but finally did not get angry. He picked up his injured nephew and hurried away with several of his demon subordinates.

Watching the demons' backs going farther and farther away, Ma Fenggu sheathed her sword, turned her head and looked at Du Yichuan in confusion, frowning, and asked in a deep voice:
"Didn't you send those monsters away?"

Du Yichuan lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the crowd. He gently pointed at Li Qingyun not far away and said in a complicated tone:

"It was the Taoist priest Gao Ren'an from Longhu Mountain who defeated these monsters. I was of no help at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qingyun. Then, various techniques of observing qi and observing spirits swept towards Li Qingyun like a tide.

After a moment, everyone showed unanimous confusion and disbelief.

Ma Fenggu also frowned, her heart full of surprise and doubt.

The young Taoist priest from Mount Longhu clearly looked like just an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, and his cultivation was at the bottom among all the younger generations present, not to mention that he was nearly thirty years old.

It stands to reason that a Foundation Establishment cultivator of this age cannot have any great potential. How could he have crossed two realms in a row and defeated three demon kings without any harm?
Her eyes fell on Li Qingyun's dragon and tiger robe, and then turned to Feng Yaqin beside her, with a questioning look in her eyes:

"Master Feng, is this your disciple? How long has he been building his foundation? When will he form his elixir?" Feng Yaqin knew that her disciple was building his foundation in the Heavenly Dao, and his foundation was much stronger than that of an average second-level cultivator, but she did not expect that he could display such terrifying strength. Her eyes met with Ma Fenggu's, and she smiled and answered honestly:

"Excuse me, senior. My disciple just successfully established his foundation two days ago. Moreover, he is responsible for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, so the accumulation required is far more than that of others. It will take some time for him to form a pill."

As soon as the four words "Heavenly Dao Foundation Building" came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone discussed in a low voice.

The Tiandao foundation building of Mount Longhu is as famous as the Wuji Dao foundation of Mount Hua. Both are extremely rare top-level foundation building methods in the world of cultivation, and are hard to come by even once in decades.

And in Mount Longhu, apart from the contemporary Heavenly Master Xu Jing Zhenren, only Zhang Mingyi, the future Taoist and the top of the Earthly Fiends list, the "Five Thunder Immortal", has established the Heavenly Dao foundation.

As for the Huashan Sect, apart from the founder Chen Tuan, only the Divine Heavenly Immortal Wanqi Rui possesses the Wuji Taoist foundation.

In the past few decades, there have been only four cultivators in the Taoist sect who have established the Heavenly Dao foundation or the Wuji Dao foundation. All of them are influential figures in the cultivation world, and any one of their names is enough to make people shudder when they hear them.

Now, Feng Yaqin personally confirmed that Li Qingyun was the Heavenly Dao foundation, and everyone's attitude changed instantly.

However, in addition to being shocked, many people couldn't help but feel confused.

This young man is nearly thirty years old. If he is truly a genius, why has he only succeeded in building his foundation now?
Master Qianye of the Qingcheng Sect, as a senior Taoist, couldn't help but look at Li Qingyun a few more times, secretly curious in his heart.

He thought for a moment, then turned to Feng Yaqin, bowed and said:
"Master Feng, I wonder if I could test the foundation of this nephew Gao Xian. Don't worry, I won't hurt him."

Feng Yaqin thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and motioned Li Qingyun to come forward.

Li Qingyun stood up respectfully, with his usual calm smile on his face, and bowed to Master Qianye:
"Senior, please give me advice."

Taoist Qianye nodded slightly and returned the greeting with a Taoist gesture. He then reached out and gently grasped Li Qingyun's wrist, and a gentle Taoist Qi flowed into him slowly like running water.

At first, Master Qianye did not feel anything special, but as the true Qi went deeper, he suddenly realized that the true Qi in Li Qingyun's body was as vast as rivers converging into the sea.

With the stimulation of external forces, the true Qi in Li Qingyun's body gradually began to circulate on its own, and a steady breath spread like a spring breeze.

At the same time, a huge sense of oppression suddenly rose up, as if the heaven and earth had undergone some kind of change under his aura.

Suddenly, a huge shadow quietly appeared behind Li Qingyun. It was a towering ancient tree, reaching from the sky to the earth. Its lush branches and leaves exuded an aura of disaster and destruction.

The thick tree trunks are full of the vicissitudes of time, as if they have experienced endless disasters, but they still stand tall and exude an overwhelming majesty.

The shadow of the tree connects with the sky and the earth, giving people the illusion that the whole world is about to be destroyed.

Countless people held their breath involuntarily under the terrifying aura. The air around them seemed to be stagnant, and even their eyes could not easily focus on the tree trunk.

And above the canopy of the tree, there was a faint flickering golden light, like a blazing sun, shining in all directions, making people dare not look directly at it.

Feeling this invisible pressure, Master Qianye immediately withdrew his true Qi and let out a long breath.

There was a bit of awe and complexity on his face, his eyes were solemn, and then he said to everyone:

"The Dao foundation built by my nephew Gao...is not the foundation of the Heavenly Dao."

Hearing this, the doubts of the other cultivators deepened. The power displayed by Li Qingyun's Dao foundation far exceeded the ordinary earth foundation or human foundation. If it was not the heavenly foundation, then what was it?
Just as everyone was puzzled, Qianye Zhenren continued to explain:

“I have seen a similar foundation in ancient books, called the ‘Infinite Tribulation’ foundation.

“This kind of Tao foundation is the rarest. Everything is illusory, and I am the only one who is supreme. After going through countless calamities, I will eventually achieve the supreme Tao fruit.

"This is the strongest foundation that a mortal can forge. It is different from other foundations in that it can continue to evolve and even achieve immortality. The sun you see on the foundation may very likely transform into a first-grade golden elixir in the future.

"As long as nephew Gao does not make mistakes in his practice, his future will be limitless."

Hearing this, the monks around were all shocked.

The name "Wulianjie Daoji" was like thunder in their ears. After all, such a Daoji almost only existed in legends.

However, Master Qianye changed the subject and frowned:
"But there is one thing I cannot understand. With your talent, why did it take until now for you to successfully build your foundation? Isn't this delay a waste of countless years of cultivation?"

As soon as the words fell, Feng Yaqin stood up and explained for Li Qingyun:

"Gao Ren'an actually changed his career path and only officially became a disciple of Longhu Mountain a dozen days ago."

Upon hearing this, Master Qianye couldn't help but sigh, with regret written all over his face:

"What a shame, what a shame. The Infinite Tribulation Dao Foundation is rare in the world. If he could build the foundation earlier, it would be a natural thing for him to become an immortal and ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

"However, now that he has started too late, he may need to race against time to become one of the strongest in his cultivation."

He suddenly realized that he had gone too far and added:

"However, Longhu Mountain is the orthodox sect of Xuanmen. Its cultivation resources and martial arts manuals are the best in the world. I believe that the elders in the sect will definitely have a way to help my nephew advance quickly and catch up with the lost time."

Feng Yaqin nodded slightly and said quickly:

"That's right. My disciple has just broken through to the foundation building stage on the way. When I return to the Tianshi Mansion, I will report to the master and elders and lend him a helping hand."

Everyone in the field turned their eyes to Li Qingyun again, with a little more respect and admiration in their eyes.

It is rare to be able to join Mount Longhu, and with the blessing of the "Infinite Tribulations" Taoist foundation, the future will surely be limitless.

Even a Taoist elder like Master Qianye was a little more polite and respectful at this moment.

Li Qingyun was listening nearby, seemingly calm on the surface, but secretly amused in his heart.

He thought that Master Qianye had given him a great assist, making him gain more attention from his master.

Once we return to Longhu Mountain, we will be able to break into the Tianshi Mansion and find an opportunity to explore the secrets and complete the inheritance mission.

All of this seemed to be progressing quietly according to Li Qingyun's plan...
