Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 208 Without love or weariness, one becomes a carefree person!
"Senior Sister Zhou!"

"Senior Sister Yuan Tong!"

"..."

Upon entering Fengyue Valley, the disciples of the Hehuan Sect bowed to Zhou Yuantong and cast various glances at him.

curious!

Disdain!

ridicule!

……

As a Hehuan Sect cultivator who values ​​his furnace and cauldron above all else, Zhou Yuantong is undoubtedly an outlier.

She killed more than a dozen inner disciples for the sake of a furnace cauldron, and was imprisoned in an ice cave for three years, which made her infamous.

Naturally, they would also attract strange looks from disciples of other sects.

in the past.

Zhou Yuantong is oblivious to subtle changes in other people's gazes, and even if she does notice them, she won't take them to heart.

now.

A chilling aura filled the entire area, causing all the Hehuan Sect disciples to shudder and instinctively lower their heads.

"Humph!"

Only when no one dared to look her in the eye did she let out a soft hum, and her escape light soared into the sky.

Cave.

The light dissipated.

Zhou Yuantong walked in slowly.

Consort Yuan had been waiting there for a long time. Upon seeing her, a smile appeared on her face, and she slowly nodded.

"Your essence, energy, and spirit are perfectly aligned, and your foundation for cultivation is promising. Yuan Tong, you have indeed not disappointed me."

"Master!" Zhou Yuantong knelt on one knee, her voice cold:
“These past years have been like a dream for me, and I have completely forgotten my master’s teachings. I deserve this calamity.”

"Fortunately!"

She raised her head and said slowly:

"With Master's guidance, I have awakened from my dream."

Consort Yuan raised an eyebrow.

She saw in Zhou Yuantong's eyes a cold, ruthless, and indifferent demeanor, as well as a disillusionment that saw through all illusions.

Never forget our love!

The Yin-Yang Seed is indeed a perfect match for this cultivation method.

As for indifference...

Yuanfei had seen this kind of look in the eyes of the Hehuan Sect disciples many times, and she didn't find it abnormal at all.

Only one thing.

Others see an uncontrollable greed in Zhou Yuantong, but not in her, which is precisely a symbol of a fulfilled state of mind.

"it is good!"

"very good!"

"I have prepared Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Grounds for you. Take these few days to stabilize your cultivation, and then go for a breakthrough in a while."

Consort Yuan spoke:
"Once you have established your Dao foundation, I will bestow upon you another great opportunity. If you can seize it, you may one day achieve the Golden Core."

"Yes." Zhou Yuantong lowered her head.

"I will respectfully follow the Master's instructions."

at this time.

"Rustle, rustle..."

A chubby little thing swayed and hopped out from not far away, then came to Zhou Yuantong's side.

"What a fat rabbit." Consort Yuan chuckled.
"You must have put a lot of effort into it; only by consuming many elixirs could it grow this big."

"In a few more years, perhaps he will be able to open his spiritual aperture."

rabbit?

It's not dead?
Zhou Yuantong picked up the rabbit, her face blank, and her originally perfect state of mind was suddenly rippled.

"why?"

"Why what?" Consort Yuan was taken aback.

"Why is it still alive?" Zhou Yuantong lowered her head, looking at the rabbit in her arms, and suddenly broke down in tears.
"What is real? What is fake?"

"Yuan Tong!" Concubine Yuan suddenly changed her color:
"Your state of mind..."

“Ha…” Zhou Yuantong burst into tears, her body trembling slightly, as scenes from the past flashed through her mind.

Zhu Ju seemed to be right in front of her, speaking slowly and gently, his voice like a promise:
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

"We'll all be fine."

"It's better to forget each other in the arena."

"My husband is skilled in painting, and he can capture the aura of other objects to disguise himself. This technique is called the art of painting skin, and it is quite mysterious..."

"If you don't have the ability to change your environment because of yourself, then don't think about resisting, because that will only harm yourself and others."

"Only by going with the flow can you have a smooth journey."

"..."

Zhou Yuantong cried, her face streaked with tears, and looked around shakily at the cave that the two of them were decorating little by little.

"Ms. sir..."

"So you knew all along, you were aware of it all along."

"Zhou Yuantong!" Consort Yuan gritted her teeth, her face grave.

"Stop thinking about that Zhu Ju. Your mental state will become flawed, and you will be unable to establish a foundation for the Dao."

"Heh..." Zhou Yuantong gently shook her head:

"Master."

"You don't understand. You won't understand."

She put down the rabbit in her arms, walked slowly to the wall, and reached down to take a wooden knife that was being used as a decoration.

This knife was carved by two people working together.

'This sword technique of mine has no name; you can call it the Demonic Blade. It's the only important thing I can give you.'

'Sword techniques and moves are not important; what matters is the intent behind the sword...'

'The Method of Unleashing the Seven Emotions and Six Desires!'

Zhou Yuantong slowly closed her eyes, the wooden knife in her hand trembling slightly, certain scenes gradually becoming clear in her mind.

"Seven emotions and six desires, running rampant..."

"As long as I still depend on others, my state of mind can never be truly fulfilled."

"Zhu Ju!"

"Over the years, what has been true and what has been false?"

Open your eyes.

Zhou Yuantong's emotions gradually calmed down, and her originally cloudy eyes became clear as if they were made of glass.

"Undeterred by passion, unharmed by devotion..."

"Supreme detachment from emotions!"

As if she had figured something out, she casually tossed the wooden sword aside, and all the past events shattered like a dream.

"To forget love without attachment is not the key; to be free from attachment is the crucial point. Only by being free from attachment can one truly roam freely in matters of love..."

"My husband, you are the one who is truly suited to cultivate the technique of forgetting emotions and detachment."

opposite.

Consort Yuan's expression was solemn, and there was a hint of shock in her beautiful eyes.

She observed Zhou Yuantong's changing state of mind from beginning to end, watching her heart break and then be restored to its former state.

and even,

Take it to the next level!

From naivety to infatuation, from infatuation to heartbreak, from heartbreak to forgetting love, and from forgetting love back into confusion...

After that, forgetting transformed into infatuation; not attached to material things, nor falling into emotional trappings, it seemed as if one had already transcended them.

The highest form of detachment!

Although she had never seen him, Consort Yuan had a vague feeling that Zhou Yuantong had already reached the state of supreme detachment mentioned in the "Formless Forgetfulness of Emotions" text.

At this level, the word "love" no longer bound her.

"Master."

Zhou Yuantong turned around and said:

"I feel that I can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage at any time. I hope that Master will bestow upon me pills and spiritual land."

"...Yes." Consort Yuan's voice stiffened slightly, and a fawning smile suddenly appeared on her face:

“My good disciple, I knew I hadn’t misjudged you. Not only do you have a special physique, but you are also a genius in cultivation.” “The foundation of your Dao is by no means your end.”

"Achieving the Golden Core stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage, is not impossible. I'm afraid I'll need your guidance in the future."

…………

When Qi Yao returned to Fengyue Valley, she heard the news that Zhou Yuantong had successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and she was overjoyed.

Immediately, I felt uneasy.

She had always been a spy planted by Consort Yuan next to Zhou Yuantong. Now that she has lost her purpose, what will become of her?
As a Dao Foundation cultivator, there is no need to live in the cave dwelling that he used to live in.

Zhou Yuantong now has her own palace, an empty hall with only the two of them and a rabbit hopping around.

"Qi Yao greets Senior Sister Yuan Tong!"

"Get up."

Zhou Yuantong remained calm:
"From now on, you will live here and be my personal maid. At your age, you may one day be able to establish a foundation for your cultivation."

"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Qi Yao was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister Zhou!"

"Get up," Zhou Yuantong asked.
"How is Zhu Ju?"

"Huh?" Qi Yao was taken aback, a struggle appearing on her face.

"Didn't Senior Sister already kill him?"

"Uh……"

Seeing Zhou Yuantong's slightly somber expression, she hurriedly said:

"Zhu Ju left and went to the East Sea. He said he would go around the East Sea to the Ten Thousand Mountains, which is where he should be."

"in addition……"

"He was a Nine-Aperture Innate being who had mastered the technique of splitting sword light, and killed Fu Qiuyue and Mu Zi."

"Nine Apertures Innate? Sword Light Differentiation?" Zhou Yuantong murmured.

"so……"

"You've been keeping this from me all these years?"

"It's understandable that you, being a member of the Hehuan Sect, would conceal your cultivation and methods from others, but I am your wife."

"really!"

Zhou Yuantong closes her eyes:
I still don't understand you.

*
*
*
Zhu Ju, his body enveloped in sword energy, soared through the sky, crashing through layers of white clouds, and hurtled all the way into the East China Sea.

"Pfft!"

The figure plunged into the seabed, continuing its journey away from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

I do not know how long it has been.

Zhu Ju's figure blurred, and he used a water-avoidance spell to rush into a water snake cave, where he sat cross-legged and directly entered the world of magic.

"Seven years!"

"After almost seven years, I'm finally back."

His figure appeared not far from the Earthly Fiend True Fire, and feeling the familiar aura, he couldn't help but feel a jolt of energy.

Killing Fu Qiuyue will surely invite pursuit from the Hehuan Sect.

However, as long as they are not in Fengyue Valley, they have many ways to hide and can also hide in the world of magic.

Even a Dao Foundation cultivator wouldn't be able to find his whereabouts.

"what?"

Just as he was getting used to his surroundings, something in front of him made Zhu Ju raise his eyebrows and show a look of surprise.

Wind and Thunder Blade Wings!
seven years ago.

He obtained this 'pseudo-magical artifact' that the Exorcist Hall had spent a thousand years crafting, but he was unable to truly control it, so he placed it in the Earthly Fiend True Fire to temper it.

Never thought.

Zhu Ju was trapped in the Hehuan Sect and dared not cross over for seven years, which caused the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings to be continuously burned by the Earthly Fiend True Fire.

The 'fake magic weapon' that was once ten feet in size is now only about a meter long.

However, compared to back then, the aura of the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings is purer and has an added element of fiery energy.

Zhu Ju made a single gesture with one hand.

"Shh!"

The Wind and Thunder Blade Wings trembled slightly upon receiving the signal, transforming into a streak of light that landed nearby, its wings slowly unfolding.

Compared to its vibrant colors back then, it now only has dull, blade-like wings and a faint, dark sheen.

"The unintentional mistake not only did not destroy the object, but it also made it more refined."

Zhu Ju channeled his inner energy and silently sensed for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise:
"congratulations!"

The Demon Exorcism Hall obtains various demon cores to refine magical artifacts, which naturally contain many impurities. This tempering is equivalent to removing these impurities.

Only when the essence and the wings are combined can it be considered a 'pseudo-magic weapon'.

If fully refined, its grade would be one level higher than the Vertical and Horizontal Blade.

After calming himself down, Zhu Ju sat cross-legged and used a wisp of his energy to refine the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings, while simultaneously stabilizing himself.

Seven years!

He had used the Hidden Yuan Technique and the Four Phases Star Restriction to seal his cultivation for seven years, and now that the seal had been suddenly broken, he naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, he broke through seven orifices seven years ago, and in the past seven years, with the help of the Hehuan Sect's resources and dual cultivation methods, he has made breakthroughs one after another. Now he has reached the perfection of nine orifices, and his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. He also needs time to adapt.

With everything in order, he took out two Qiankun bags from his person.

One big and one small.

One is heavy, the other is light.

They came from Mu Zi, an inner disciple of the Hehuan Sect, and Fu Qiuyue, a core disciple.

"Snapped!"

The Horizontal and Vertical Blade transformed into several streaks of light and slashed fiercely at the seal on the Qiankun Bag, instantly breaking the seal.

Various colors of spiritual light burst forth from it.

Spirit stones, magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans...

"As expected of the core disciples of a major demonic sect, they are indeed wealthy."

Zhu Ju's eyes lit up as he rummaged through his Qiankun bag and found a total of six different high-grade magic artifacts.

There are also dozens of valuable spirit talismans; these items alone are worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

"A second-tier spirit talisman?"

"Fire Needle!"

Picking up an antique-looking talisman, Zhu Ju's expression turned solemn, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Fortunately, Fu Qiuyue was careless and did not use this talisman immediately, otherwise the outcome would have been unpredictable."

A second-tier spirit talisman is comparable to a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At that time, Zhou Yuantong used a "Thunderbolt" to kill more than a dozen inner disciples of the Hehuan Sect in one fell swoop.

The 'Fire Needle' has a shorter attack range than the 'Thunderbolt,' but it is more powerful in single-target damage.

If it is offered up...

Unless Zhu Ju hides in the world of magic, he will not escape this calamity.

Fortunately!

Fu Qiuyue didn't think that she needed to use her trump card to deal with Zhu Ju, but she was killed instantly.

"what?"

In the corner of the Qiankun bag, there was an inconspicuous wooden box, which, when opened, revealed a bright, shiny pill.

Although I have never seen this pill before, its appearance and smell are exactly the same as something in the legend.

"This is……"

Zhu Ju's eyes twitched, and his breathing became rapid.

"Foundation Pill?"

"It really is a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Thinking it over carefully, Fu Qiuyue failed to break through and advance a few years ago, and now it's time for her to recuperate and recover.

It is indeed possible to try to break through again by taking the Foundation Building Pill.

Given the strength of the Hehuan Sect and Fu Qiuyue's status as a core disciple, it's not surprising that they obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"God help me too!"

Zhu Ju was overjoyed.

He has already broken through the nine innate orifices and opened the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows. His essence, energy and spirit far surpass those of ordinary innate beings with nine orifices.

Taking the Foundation Building Pill greatly increases the chances of successfully breaking through to the next level.

"There's no rush yet."

"First, stabilize your cultivation!"
