Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 310 Shui Qianning Proves the Foundation of Dao
Zhu Ju used his cloud-riding technique, stepping onto auspicious clouds as he left the cave and flew towards the mountain peak following the aura he sensed.

Not long after.

He slowly landed in front of a cave.

The sect leader of Mingxu Sect, Pei Jingque, had been waiting here for some time, with the sect's eldest disciple, Ma Shushuang, standing beside her.

"Uncle Master."

Seeing Zhu Ju land, Ma Shushuang, with his white hair and hunched back, hurriedly cupped his hands in a salute.

“Nephew Ma.” Zhu Ju’s gaze lingered on him for a moment, then he said slowly:
"Your health is not very good. You should rest and recuperate recently and avoid going out."

Ma Shushuang is over eighty years old.

In his early years, his foundation was damaged, and now his life force is like a candle flickering in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.

Especially in the last two years, his health has deteriorated, and his descendants have even prepared a coffin and grave for him.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle-Master."

Ma Shushuang grinned, his wrinkled face trembling, his voice hoarse:
"My days are numbered. If I can see the sect build another foundation before I pass away, I will die without regret!"

"It seems someone really is breaking through." Zhu Ju nodded and asked:

"Is that the naval commander's nephew?"

“It’s her.” Pei Jingque nodded, a hint of trepidation showing in her beautiful eyes.

"Although Qian Ning is exceptionally talented, she is not a Dao Body after all. I wonder if she can successfully break through this time."

Zhu Ju did not speak.

At this point, saying anything is meaningless.

Shui Qianning was Pei Jingque's third disciple. The first two had died while fleeing, so he cared for her especially.

She is also the person with the greatest potential to achieve the Dao Foundation in the Mingxu Sect.

If successful.

The Mingxu Sect can have five Dao Foundation cultivators.

"It should work," Ma Shushuang murmured.

"My junior sister could have attempted a breakthrough five years ago, but she postponed taking the Foundation Establishment Pill for five years just in case. Moreover, she has a premonition this time, so theoretically there shouldn't be any accidents."

"It will succeed...it will succeed..."

“Sister Shui will achieve the Dao Foundation stage, and in two more years, Junior Brother Ji Mingxi will reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage. He has an innate Dao Body, so there is no possibility of failure. In this way, our Mingxu Sect will have six Dao Foundation cultivators.”

"Rejuvenation is in sight!"

Pei Jingque's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

Over the years, her injuries have healed very well. With the help of the spiritual herbs she collected from the Void Rift Secret Realm, her cultivation has improved considerably, and she is getting closer and closer to the late stage of the Dao Foundation stage.

Also.

Others don't know.

She knew very well that Zhu Ju was already at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, and his strength was not much weaker than hers.

With such a foundation, although it cannot compare with those sects that have Golden Core cultivators, it is still quite strong.

In addition, with the business of spirit wine on the right track and gradually expanding, the sect's life is getting better and better.

you could say so……

The future is expected!

"Om..."

The spiritual energy ahead suddenly became restless, and the three people's expressions changed accordingly. This was not a good omen.

When a breakthrough is successful, spiritual energy will gather into a vortex and surge in an orderly manner, rather than being chaotic and restless like this.

"Don't panic."

Zhu Ju narrowed his eyes:

"It seems that there was a problem with the way Master Shui circulated his cultivation technique, but it's nothing serious and won't affect his breakthrough."

as predicted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual energy in the area returned to normal.

"That's good, that's good." Ma Shushuang breathed a sigh of relief, gently patted his chest, and took out a cane from his storage bag to support himself.
"Come on, come on..."

Pei Jingque glanced at Zhu Ju, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Such keen perception indicates that Zhu Ju's spiritual power is stronger than hers, as is his physical body.

"To break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and achieve the Golden Core, essence, energy, and spirit are all indispensable. Junior Brother's physical body and spiritual soul are stronger than mine. If he achieves perfect Foundation Establishment one day, his chances of condensing a Golden Core will certainly be greater than mine."

'If the Mingxu Sect can produce a Golden Core Grandmaster, even if I perish in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in time, I can face my ancestors in the underworld without shame.'

Her thoughts raced, and her gaze returned to the quiet room ahead, as she awaited the breakthrough.

Time passes slowly.

The sun moved westward.

Zhu Ju and Pei Jingque were both moved at the same time, and their eyes gleamed as they looked toward the quiet room.

at the same time.

Suddenly, the primordial energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, converging into a giant funnel and gathering towards the center.

"call……"

A strong wind rose.

"it is good!"

Pei Jingque's wrist trembled slightly with excitement, and her eyes reddened.
"Success!"

"Haha..." Zhu Julang laughed, raising his hand to toss something into the vortex of spiritual energy:
"The stars serve as lamps to illuminate the night's journey, and the cycle of sixty years serves as a drumbeat to witness the arduous journey."

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Nephew Shui, on achieving the foundation of your Dao!"

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, on nurturing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which has contributed to the inheritance of our Mingxu Sect."

"call……"

The gale first swept in all directions, then suddenly subsided, and the stone door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a spirited young woman.

Although Shui Qianning looks like a young girl, she has lived to be sixty years old and is no longer young.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Zhu, for the medicine."

The elixir that Zhu Ju just gave her saved her months of hard work, so she naturally had to express her gratitude.

He then came to Pei Jingque's side, his knees buckled and he knelt down.

"Master!"

"Your disciple... has not disappointed you!"

"Okay...okay..." Pei Jingque's voice trembled slightly as he helped her up from the ground.

"Good boy, good boy!"

She had lived for over a hundred years, yet she couldn't help but shed tears.

“Since Junior Sister Liu achieved her Dao foundation, the sect… the sect has not taken this step for a full forty-seven years.”

"Oh!" "Junior brother doesn't count."

She turned her head and gave Zhu Ju an apologetic smile.

Zhu Ju's Dao foundation, which he achieved while wandering outside, did not rely on the resources of the sect, so it is naturally not included.

Forty-seven years!

It's easy to imagine what happened during the time when a sect failed to produce a single Foundation Establishment cultivator.

These past few years have been tough for the Mingxu Sect, but now, with Shui Qianning's successful breakthrough, it seems that the Mingxu Sect has finally turned the corner.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister." Ma Shushuang also stepped forward to offer her congratulations.
"Junior sister has attained the foundation of the Dao, congratulations!"

"Senior Brother." Shui Qianning looked at him, her face showing gratitude and reluctance.
"I am very grateful for my senior brother's care over the years. If it weren't for what happened back then, my senior brother would probably have achieved the foundation of the Dao before me."

"Sigh!" Ma Shushuang waved his hand:

"What's past is past, don't bring it up again."

He had his regrets, but now he only prays that the sect will become stronger and stronger.

"Qian Ning".

Pei Jingque flipped her hand, and an ancient-looking talisman appeared in her palm, its surface shrouded in spiritual light, mysterious and extraordinary.

"This item is called the Soul-Stabilizing Talisman. It is a rare treasure that can protect your soul. I obtained it by chance a few years ago."

"The reason I didn't give it to you before is because refining this item requires the true essence of a Dao Foundation cultivator. Now, consider it a gift to celebrate your achievement of the Dao Foundation."

"Yes." Shui Qianning respectfully accepted it.

"Thank you, Master."

"Ancient Soul-Stabilizing Talisman." Zhu Ju looked surprised.

He certainly knew about this item; it could suppress inner demons and might even be beneficial for Core Formation.

Unexpectedly, Pei Jingque gave it to his own disciple.

"Senior sister, you've really gone all out!"

He sighed and took out a jade slip from his person:

"I don't have anything particularly valuable on me, but over the years I've sorted out my understanding of the way of the sword."

“My junior brother is a sword enthusiast. He has already mastered the sword light differentiation technique at the Innate Realm. This item may be useful to you.”

Shui Qianning's beautiful eyes lit up, and she took it with a serious expression, bowing her head.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhu."

As all the disciples of Mingxu Sect know, Zhu Ju's sword control technique is unparalleled, and his self-created Ten Directions Killing Path is even more incredible. He is truly the number one swordsman. She has always wanted to learn from him, but Zhu Ju spends most of his time in seclusion. Now that she has been able to obtain this insight into swordsmanship, it is an unexpected joy.

Shui Qianning had just broken through and needed some time to stabilize her realm, so she took her leave early.

Ma Shushuang's health also prevented him from staying any longer, and besides, Shui Qianning's Foundation Establishment Ceremony required his careful handling, so he had already stepped down.

As for Zhai Qingfeng and Liu Huang'er...

Because Zhu Ju and Pei Jingque were injured, they went to the front line to guard the area in place of Emperor Mingxu a few years ago.

The time for succession has not yet come, and he is not currently in the sect.

Side hall.

Pei Jingque looked at Zhu Ju with a smile:

"Junior brother's swordsmanship is unparalleled, but your disciple is somewhat disappointing. Why not pass it on to Qian Ning?"

"She's obsessed with swordsmanship, and I don't have much to teach her."

After Xi Chen 'died' in the Void Rift Secret Realm, Zhu Ju took Xi Youyue as his disciple as compensation.

At the same time, he accepted Gu Rusong as a disciple under a nominal name.

However, his two disciples had mediocre talent in cultivation and no special comprehension in swordsmanship, so they could not possibly inherit his Ten Directions Killing Path.

"That jade slip contains the foundation of my swordsmanship. If she can learn it, she can naturally master the Ten Directions Killing Path."

Zhu Ju smiled and asked:
"But Senior Sister, when will my flying sword be ready?"

It's been nine years!
Simply integrating a few incomplete items into the Ten Directions Sword shouldn't be difficult for a second-tier weapon refiner.

“This…” Pei Jingque hesitated.

"The sword has been forged, but the problem remains unresolved. Junior Brother, why don't you wait a little longer?"

"Still not resolved?" Zhu Ju frowned.
"What exactly is the trouble?"

"Sigh!" Pei Jingque sighed softly, flipped his hand and took out a jade box from his storage bag. Inside the box was a long sword.

The sword was over three feet long, like a sharp sword in the hand of an ordinary martial artist.

Flying swords belonging to cultivators are rarely this large; a few inches or even a foot in size are the norm.

A white halo surrounded the blade, constantly shifting, and a sealing talisman was affixed to it.

“Junior brother, I don’t know what material your Horizontal and Vertical Saber is made of. It has merged with Senior Song’s broken sword and actually made the sword intent have a bit of spirituality.”

Pei Jingque frowned and sighed:
"It's a good thing that the sword has a spirit, but unfortunately, the spirit of this sword is fierce and domineering, and it is difficult to remove."

"I have tried several methods, but if I want to erase this strange spiritual power, I must destroy the flying sword, so I am also troubled."

"Oh!" Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.

The Vertical and Horizontal Blade comes from another world and contains a special substance called Originium. Unexpectedly, after being reforged using the methods of the main world, it has undergone such a change.

He examined the 'flying sword' before him, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"Senior sister, let me take it back and have a look!"

“Alright.” Pei Jingque nodded.

"Anyway, I haven't thought of a solution yet. Junior brother, be careful not to touch it lightly, or you might be pulled into an illusion. I've been in one once, and it wasn't a pleasant experience."

She shook her head with a wry smile, clearly quite wary.

"correct."

Composing himself, Pei Jingque spoke:
"The Wu family has sent a message, expressing their interest in offering the qualification to enter the Void Rift Secret Realm, and asking if we want to buy it."

"Junior brother, do you think we should buy it?"

"The Wu family..." Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought:
"It seems we can't hold out any longer. They're even willing to give up the qualification to enter the Void Rift Secret Realm."

"Yes," Pei Jingque replied.
"The Wu family currently only has one elderly Dao Foundation cultivator left. All the outstanding members of the younger generation have perished. They are currently being sent to the front lines for their shifts. It is uncertain whether they can survive until the next opening of the secret realm. Therefore, we are selling our spots to obtain resources."

"According to the original agreement among the five major powers, if one party withdraws, the consent of the other four parties is required. We have the right of first refusal."

"Senior Sister," Zhu Ju asked.
"What benefits would we get from buying the Wu family's spots? Can one Foundation Establishment cultivator send four people?"

"No!" Pei Jingque shook his head:

"According to the agreement, we can send six more people into the secret realm in the future, because the Wu family sent six people last time."

Six people?

Zhu Ju shrugged.

"It's better than nothing. I might consider it if it's cheap, but I don't think it's necessary if it's expensive."

"Hmm." Pei Jingque nodded slowly.

"I think so too."

"Although our lives have improved over the years, we don't have much extra money to waste."

"forget it!"
