Please call me Dadaozu

Chapter 408 Foundation Establishment Level 8, Broken! Demonic Demoness, Buddhist Nun (4000)

"All I want now is to kill them all, leave no one alive, and then find the mastermind and kill them."

Zhang Yuanzhu gripped the long ruler tightly with his five fingers, his double pupils staring directly at the woman.

"If you two are unwilling to witness this, I can find a safe place for you to go into seclusion. Once everything is over, I will then look for you."

Fa Yan remained silent, his mind becoming increasingly complicated, but he still shook his head.

"Let me go with you!"

The young man nodded, not refusing.

The legal representative remained silent throughout, simply gazing at his junior sister and sensing the heavy atmosphere between them.

With the three reaching a consensus, thunder roared across the sky, and the battle began once more.

Using the [characteristics] as a guide, we continuously search for cultivators.

Now, all the cultivators who have entered the secret realm, except for those from the Seeking Truth Merchant Guild, are enemies. Just kill them.

Whether they were righteous or demonic, or even natives of the secret realm, most of them were enemies in the eyes of the young man, and he wanted to kill them all.

Blood fell, severed limbs littered the ground, and the entire continent was filled with the stench of blood.

One by one, the cultivators fled in panic, and one by one, the living beings cried out in agony as the curtain fell.

Such wanton killings naturally attracted the attention of the local powerful figures, who tried to lure and kill them, ambush them, and even use various secret techniques to find their tracks, but they always managed to evade them.

For three whole months, both sides fought fiercely on this land, completely forgetting about exploring the ruins and seeking opportunities.

On the cliff face, three figures stood side by side, looking down at the blood-red earth below.

The wreckage was everywhere, and piles of bones were everywhere.

At the ends of the earth, a graceful figure approaches with delicate steps.

The woman strode forward through the crimson light, her black dress billowing in the wind, contrasting beautifully with her snow-white skin, creating an irresistible allure.

This was an extremely beautiful woman, with flowing black hair, a radiant forehead, arched eyebrows, and lively eyes. Her charm and purity were intertwined.

"The devil witch!"

Fayan frowned, clasped his hands together, and wisps of Buddhist light emanated from his body.

The palm slowly extends, ready to strike.

Snapped!
A fair hand grasped her wrist, causing her to stop her attack.

Looking to the side, a pair of deep, double pupils came into view.

"This is my friend."

Zhang Yuanzhu spoke calmly, pressing down with his palm to lower Fa Yan's arm.

Then, he looked up at the woman in the black dress.

"But what's the matter?"

"If there's nothing wrong, can't I come to find my senior brother?"

The woman in the black dress, with her red lips and alluring face, ascended into the air and arrived in front of the young man.

A delicate hand reached out and brushed across her senior brother's chest:
"I am relieved to hear that my senior brother has fought against many enemies and fought many battles without being injured."

Xie Beiling spoke earnestly, yet with a hint of relaxation, her tone sincere and earnest.

She lowered her hand and continued speaking:
“You’ve caused quite a stir lately; the demonic cultivators from Painted Skin Peak and Paper Doll Peak who entered the secret realm are all about to be wiped out.”

"The righteous path also suffered heavy losses, with many prodigies and powerful figures lying dead."

Did they all make you angry?

Zhang Yuanzhu did not respond, but simply gazed calmly at the woman in the black dress.

The legal representative, who had remained silent all along, suddenly spoke up:
"Brother Dao, this should be a disciple of the Six Desires Peak of the Puppet Sect. He is skilled at manipulating emotions and desires and bewitching people. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Xie Beiling covered her mouth and laughed:

"Crunch! Crunch!"

"This sister must look down on my senior brother's will so much that she would not be bewitched by a mere woman like me."

He paused, then looked at the expressionless Fayan:

"I have heard that Buddhism is good at saving all sentient beings, especially guiding the gifted. As a Dharma protector, these are the things that you need to pay attention to, senior brother."

Although she was speaking to the young man, her gaze remained fixed on Fa Yan, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a purple light, both alluring and sinister.

Snapped!
A hand patted the woman in the black dress on the shoulder.

In an instant, the purple luster in Xie Beiling's eyes faded.

Zhang Yuanzhu stared directly at the witch, his expression serious, and uttered each word carefully:
"These two Buddhist disciples are also my fellow practitioners. Do not do anything excessive."

"I just wanted to see the foundation of my two older sisters, I had no ill intentions."

Xie Beiling smiled faintly and obediently bowed to the two women, apologizing.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest hesitation.

Then, she reached forward with her slender hand, and rays of light bloomed from her fingertips, transforming into two white jade flutes.

The flute is surrounded by a light mist, and its body is engraved with soft patterns, making it exquisite and beautiful.

"The Nine-Orifice Spirit Jade!"

When Fayan spoke, his eyes shone with Buddhist nature.

Golden Core materials are rare and not commonly seen; it seems that this one was forged from the one in your hand, fellow Daoist.

The Daoist brother had intended to give her that spirit jade, but she refused. Unexpectedly, it was taken by a demonic witch.

"Sister, you have great insight. Both of these flutes are made of Nine-Aperture Spirit Jade."

Xie Beiling smiled gently and placed a flute into the young man's arms.

“Senior brother, I originally wanted to forge a jade bell for you, but the hole is naturally formed, and the most suitable thing is ultimately a flute.”

The woman shook her flute.

"This flute is named 'One Heart,' while the flute in your hand, Brother Dao, is named 'Spiritual Rhinoceros.'"

Zhang Yuanzhu rubbed the jade flute in his palm, carefully feeling its texture, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"This is a fine flute; let's call it the Lingxi Flute."

"It is naturally a good flute, forged using a secret method. It can be placed in the spiritual platform to grow continuously and can be used until the Golden Core stage."

The woman smiled faintly, casually playing with the jade flute in her hand, and leisurely recounted:
"We are of one mind, and our understanding is always the same! My Daoist brother and I have always been like this!"

Fayan and Fading simply gazed at the woman in the black dress, their heads slightly bowed, and softly recited Buddhist scriptures.

Seeing that the two did not respond, Xie Beiling's smile widened, and she was about to continue speaking when Zhang Yuanzhu interrupted her:
"Junior sister, besides giving me the jade flute, please speak freely if there is anything else. The two fellow Daoists have accompanied me all the way, and they are both gentle and upright people."

"I need to break through, but the secret realm is too chaotic. Only by your side, fellow Daoist, am I safest."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanzhu carefully examined the woman and realized that her cultivation level was indeed on the verge of a breakthrough.

Then, he lightly tapped his forehead.

“Yes, I can now set up formations and open up a cave to protect you.”

As the words drifted by, streaks of light flew out of the storage bag, circling the cliff face and falling in all directions.

Patterns formed, array flags were erected, and array plates rose into the air, radiating light.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhang Yuanzhu had already set up nine large formations in succession, with various functions including protection, trapping and killing, and gathering spiritual energy.

Then, streaks of purple lightning rose from his body and fell towards the cliff face.

Crackling!

Rocks crumbled, lightning surged forward, carving out space.

In a short while, the entire mountain was hollowed out and transformed into a cave.

"Now that the cave dwelling is complete, let's go in together and cultivate for a while."

Aside from the witch needing to go into seclusion to break through her limitations, it's also time for him, Fayan, and Fading to summarize their gains, cultivate for a while, and adjust their state after three months of fighting.

Zhang Yuanzhu stepped forward and entered the cave.

Xie Beiling followed closely behind, followed by Fayan and Fading, who entered together.

Inside the main hall, the four stood side by side, Zhang Yuanzhu pointing to the innermost room:
"Junior sister, you should break through here, and I will protect you."

"Excuse me, senior brother."

The woman in the black dress smiled sweetly, took graceful steps forward, and, like a swaying divine lotus, entered the room and disappeared.

Wow! Wow!
Beams of light descended from the stone gate, swirling with various runes. Only then did Fa Yan raise his head, his face serious, and whisper:
"This witch should be the Holy Maiden of Six Desires Peak."

The voice was calm, carrying a sense of certainty.

Zhang Yuanzhu nodded, rubbing the jade flute between his five fingers, carefully sensing the secret treasure.

"Brother Dao, do you know that although the demonic cultivators of Six Desires Peak are proficient in the seven emotions and six desires, our Buddhist disciples are also pure and compassionate. Our elders have repeatedly spoken of the harm caused by demonic cultivators of the six desires. Why are there still Buddhist disciples who are willing to fall into depravity and betray the orthodoxy?"

Her voice was calm as she recounted the past, tinged with the vicissitudes of life.

Speak slowly and deliberately, with sincerity and candor:
"There is nothing too complicated, just the word 'sincerity'."

"Treat people with sincerity and offer them your full help, and you will naturally win over a heart that is as fragile as glass."

"But they are ultimately demonic cultivators. The environment in which they grew up, the old demon's scheming and plotting, their self-righteousness, all turned out to be nothing more than a scheme."

Fayan stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.

"Although I despise the demonic path, what I have said comes from the bottom of my heart. I truly cannot bear to see you fall into the abyss."

After the woman finished speaking, she strode into a room.

Legally stared at the young man standing still, his jaw clenched, and approached the crimson figure, lowering his voice:
"Brother Dao, my junior sister comes from an extraordinary and extremely noble background. You must consider what she says."

“I know that you are exceptionally intelligent and that everything you do is well-organized. However, since you are at a different level, your perspective will inevitably be different. You must be extremely cautious.”

As the words faded, Fa Ding slowly walked away and entered the room.

For a moment, the young man was the only person in the main hall.

Zhang Yuanzhu gently held the Lingxi Flute in his hand, his double pupils deep and thoughtful.

"interesting!"

The young man chuckled softly.

A slight tremor ran through his dantian, and streams of magical power surged forth, flowing into the jade flute and beginning its refining process.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his own mark had already been left inside the jade flute, and it had been completely refined.

In an instant, the jade flute shrank and disappeared into the dantian, heading towards the top of the spiritual platform.

call out!
The Spirit Flute hovered above the Spirit Platform, enveloped and covered by the platform's own purple radiance.

The Yin-Yang Jade Tree also scatters three-colored light, continuously enhancing the treasure's essence.

A hint of joy flashed deep in Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes. The jade flute really could enhance one's spiritual power like a natal magic weapon, and the pressure on the spiritual platform was relatively low, which was completely bearable.

As for the Spirit Rhinoceros Flute, it can at most become a Golden Core level artifact, and its speed of enhancement and refinement is not even half that of a natal magic weapon.

But for Zhang Yuanzhu, it was already excellent.

"It seems I need to learn some sonic attack techniques."

The young man sat cross-legged, pondering how to use the Lingxi Flute.

He had practiced a sonic attack technique called the Golden Crow's Cry, but it was ultimately insufficient. He needed to try several other techniques to gain different insights.

However, all of that needs to wait; right now, his most important task is his own cultivation.

In just over three months, his cultivation level improved considerably, and he nearly reached the end of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

Normally, one could break through after another month of cultivation.

Of course, that's normal spiritual practice.
Zhang Yuanzhu flipped his hand, and a stone box appeared in his palm.

I gently stroked it with my five fingers, feeling the roughness from my fingertips, and the surging energy sealed inside the stone box.

"Not urgent!"

The young man chuckled softly, placed the stone box aside, leaned against the wall, and gazed at the witch's secluded room, waiting quietly.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had already gone by.

Click!

The stone gate opened, the light curtain dissipated, and a graceful figure stepped out.

At a glance!
She then saw the red figure sitting cross-legged against the wall, her red lips curved, whispering:
"Senior brother has been here for ten days. Are you worried that they will disturb me?"

Zhang Yuanzhu looked helpless, picked up the stone box, stood up, and walked towards the woman.

"I will break through in about seven days. There is no need for someone to protect me. Just go and practice your cultivation."

Step forward, past the woman, and you will enter the room.

Xie Beiling stretched out her delicate hand and stopped the young man, her palm open to reveal a jade slip.

"Since Senior Brother is in seclusion, why not cultivate this sonic attack technique as well? It will surely allow you to unleash the full power of the Spirit Rhinoceros Flute."

Zhang Yuanzhu looked at the jade slip in front of him with gentle eyes and reached out to take it.

He took a step forward and continued walking towards the room.

The woman in the black dress turned around, a faint smile on her face, and looked at the red-clad figure entering the room:
"I look forward to the day when all enemies perish after the final note."

Crunch!

The stone gate closed, and the light curtain reappeared.

Xie Beiling withdrew her gaze and swept it over the room where the two Buddhist women were.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

With a soft laugh, her beautiful figure slowly disappeared.

the other side.

Zhang Yuanzhu sat cross-legged, casually placed the jade slip on the ground, and lightly tapped the stone box with his five fingers.

Click!

The stone box was opened, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, instantly filling the entire room.

A blood-red fruit is revealed.

The three-thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit, a precious medicine obtained through trade in the Immortal City of Green Wood Mountain, can enhance one's cultivation.

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his gaze and carefully examined the area.

"let's start!"

The young man spoke.

The next moment, he reached out with his free hand, grabbed the spirit fruit, and swallowed it directly.

boom!
It was as if a great sun had been swallowed into his mouth, and the rich medicinal power surged into every part of his body.

With the aid of the medicine, the physical body, magical power, and even spiritual consciousness began to increase rapidly.

Within his dantian, crimson clouds appeared in the sky, constantly condensing and filling up.

Until
Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Crimson raindrops fell, irrigating the altar.

In an instant, the seven-layered spiritual platform trembled slightly, absorbing the energy from the 'rainwater'.

After an unknown amount of time, the crimson clouds dispersed, the rain disappeared, and a strange Daoist aura emerged from the seven-layered spiritual platform.

It seemed as if there was nowhere left to go.

Zhang Yuanzhu looked inward into the depths of his mind, gazing at the information on the mirror surface formed by the interwoven divine light of the three colors.

Realm: Foundation Establishment Level 7 (100%)

Exhale gently:

"break!"

Boom!

His mind trembled violently, and a surge of immense magical power erupted, filling every inch of his dantian.

Purple mist filled the air, lightning flashed, a jade flute trembled softly, and the Yin-Yang Jade Tree cast rays of light.

Above the spiritual platform, a phantom slowly emerged, and under the surging magical power, it continuously solidified.

Time passed second by second, the magical power surged more and more, the spiritual platform vibrated more and more violently, and the eighth spiritual platform became clearer and clearer.

An incense stick has burned out!
An hour has passed!
Three hours have passed!!!
The illusory figure above the mind trembled slightly.

Click!

The sound of shackles tearing echoed in my ears, and the eighth level of my spiritual platform fully emerged.

Foundation Building Stage 8, Success!
