Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 120 Foundation Building
"How dare you be so arrogant?!"

After hearing what Li Ye said, one of the monks from Pingyang Mountain who had come here immediately roared in anger.

But despite the scolding, no one dared to get close to the hilltop.

The second-level formation is no joke!
Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator were caught up in it, he might not be able to escape unscathed. In front of its power, these Qi Condensation cultivators were nothing more than ants that could be crushed at will!
"I just ignored Li Ye for a while, and he actually became so powerful..."

Xie Yushu's eyes were gloomy, but he was thinking of more things.

More than a year ago, Li Ye had already mastered the ability to easily break the quasi-second-level formation in Dengyunfang City. Perhaps at that time, he had already completed the transformation of his own formation, bringing its power to the second-level level...

Originally, the best opportunity would have been to capture him on the spot after he handed over the diagram of the formation's flaws.

Unfortunately, Xu Pingyang thought it could still be useful and rejected his proposal.

If he had missed that opportunity and had not taken the initiative to build his foundation, this person would now seem to be invincible guarding Changcui Mountain!

"Now that things have come to this, do you have any suggestions?"

Xie Yushu asked directly to the ugly formation master beside him.

Tu Zhiyong looked troubled and confused, "This formation... I can't break it..."

Just talking nonsense!
Xie Yushu was about to explode, but Tu Zhiyong immediately said, "But the spiritual vein here is only at the first level! Even if we actively reduce the range of the formation and use the spirit gathering formation to ensure it receives enough spiritual energy... this method will definitely not last!"

"After some time, the spiritual energy will gradually decline, and the power of this formation will surely weaken. If the leader is willing to take action personally, he may be able to take advantage of the weakening power of this formation and find a loophole to break it!"

Xie Yushu's expression softened slightly.
"In other words, he's just a temporary showpiece?"

"It should... be like this." Tu Zhiyong said not quite sure.

"In that case..."

Xie Yushu's eyes flashed. "Gather the people from other mountains to help us surround this mountain. Leave no escape routes. We will return to report to the leader... The leader will make the final decision on the rest!"

He passed down the order and everyone immediately took action, gathering more people to start building an encirclement.

Xie Yushu then set up a flying crane and moved closer to the top of the mountain. He then spoke with his magical power,

"Li Ye, I see you have extraordinary talent, and I don't want to kill you here... Rather than fighting like a trapped beast, why don't you just go out and return this occupied mountain to the Lan family, kowtow to the leader and admit your mistake, and I will guarantee your life!"

"Even though your formation is already at the second level, the spiritual veins here are only at the first level. How long can your formation last?"

"If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to change, when the power of this formation fades, don't blame me for going up the mountain and taking your head as a token of respect to all the other Taoists in the mountains!"

These words were enough to spread throughout Changcui Mountain.

However, after saying this, Xie Yushu waited for a long time, but did not receive any response from Li Ye.

He couldn't help but frown, becoming more and more confused about what Li Ye was up to.

But he didn't stay any longer, turned around, went down the mountain and prepared to leave.

When the Lan family saw this situation, they all looked confused.

Originally, they thought that with Xie Yushu and Tu Zhiyong taking action personally, breaking the mountain gate formation and capturing Li Ye would be a piece of cake.

How did it end up like this, with nothing accomplished, or even a situation where we don't know where to start?
They approached cautiously and nervously.

"Deputy Alliance Leader, this... what should we do?"

The second uncle, who was the first to show his willingness to please the Luo family but was scolded by Li Ye, asked hurriedly.

Xie Yushu glanced at the group of people, trying not to show any disgust.

If he hadn't needed to borrow the reputation of these old guys and claim some righteousness, he really wouldn't want to bother with them. "That Li Ye formation is impressive, but it won't last long. I'll be able to break it after some time... I'll have to go back and report this to the leader, so you guys just watch from here!"

Xie Yushu said this calmly, then boarded a flying crane and soared into the sky.

"Master..." Lan Ming still wanted to keep him.

Tu Zhiyong ignored him, and with a gloomy face, he set up the flying boat and caught up with Xie Yushu.

Only the old and young of the Lan family were left staring at each other in confusion and panic.

Seeing this situation, Lan Xinyi sighed inwardly, took another look at the densely wooded area on the top of the mountain, and left on her own.

As for Fang Ze... no one paid any attention to him. He was lying on the ground with his chest soaked in blood. He was completely dead!

…………

"They really chose to surround the mountain..."

Sitting cross-legged under the Sky Realm Tree, Li Ye looked at the surrounding movements through the formation and couldn't help but smile.

In another situation, it is hard to say how this group of people would choose Li Ye.

But with a formation master like Tu Zhiyong present to offer advice, there is actually no other outcome as to what they will choose if they discover the drawbacks of this formation.

"Although Xu Pingyang might still attack without regard for his dignity, this formation is said to be second-level. With certain void properties, it will last even longer. Moreover, even if there is no one to preside over it, he cannot easily break it..."

"Perhaps I will be able to successfully complete the breakthrough before this formation is broken!"

After making the corresponding arrangements, Li Ye no longer paid attention to the outside situation and raised his hand to activate a second-level earth escape talisman.

The earth-yellow spiritual light enveloped him, and his body suddenly sank, avoiding the roots of the Sky Realm Tree and coming all the way to the belly of the mountain where the underground fire had not reached, and entered a cave.

This place was opened up in the mountain after he had reached the middle level of the second level in talisman making and could draw underground talismans, taking advantage of the power of this talisman.

It is a safe place specifically used for breaking through and building one's foundation.

Even if the outer formation is broken, deep inside the mountain, if the foundation-building consciousness is not focused on searching, it may not be detected, which may buy him more time.

everything's ready.

Li Ye did not rush to take the pill, but meditated calmly, adjusting his state bit by bit.

All the things that happened after he traveled through time began to flash through his mind.

There is a surprise on the panel prompt when you plant the first rice seedling.

Calmly ignore various external voices.

There is the scene where Hu Zhiquan recounts the birth of his son with joy in his eyes, and then the shock and determination when he later heard of his son's accidental death.

There was also a sudden outbreak of demonic tides. In order to build a foundation, he traveled through the barren mountains and finally found a sacred place and planted the Sky Realm Tree. Watching it climb higher and higher gave him hope.

There are too many, one picture after another surges from the bottom of my heart and then settles.

Finally...it all turns into the determination to pursue the great way!

A day later, Li Ye's aura and state of mind became completely harmonious, and his mental state was more perfect than ever before.

He no longer hesitated, took out the foundation-building pill, looked at it for the last time, and then swallowed it.

The power of the medicine rose in his body, Li Ye remained calm and launched an attack on the foundation building!
