Chapter 358 He's already at Foundation Establishment?
Leaving aside the unfortunate Taibai Sword Master, in the Ancient Sword Sect of the Lower Realm, a group of Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators slightly opened their mouths, staring blankly at the suddenly cracked portrait of their ancestor in front of them.

After they came to their senses, they looked at each other and fell into an eerie silence.

A moment later, a Core Formation cultivator swallowed hard and cautiously transmitted his voice:
"Is our patriarch... alright?"

"What is this nonsense!"

Sect Master Zhai straightened his expression and said with certainty, "Sword Venerable Taibai is incredibly powerful, blessed with boundless fortune, and has a deep connection to the immortal realm. He will surely be alright. We, the younger generation, need not worry about our ancestor. Let's deal with the matters in the lower realm first!"

"..."

The sword masters looked at each other, and then unanimously agreed, "The sect leader is right!"

Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Lin Yu felt a surge of joy and couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the unfortunate Taibai Sword Master.

With the help of fragments of the law of cause and effect, he had already detected the other party's situation. Affected by Lin Yu's address of "Grandmaster," this guy's cultivation and aura were plummeting.

It is estimated that after this incident, thousands of years of painstaking cultivation will be destroyed in an instant. It can be said that disaster struck out of the sky while we were sitting at home!

But to be fair, this Taibai Sword Master is indeed a remarkable figure. He actually managed to survive the backlash, truly deserving of being the legendary founder of a sect.

Of course, a significant part of this is thanks to the portrait in front of us.

The Ancient Sword Sect has been passed down for so many years, so it is impossible for it to always be at its peak. It has experienced many ups and downs, and the portrait of the founder hanging in the Sword Pavilion is no longer the original one.

This is why the pursuit and positioning of the backlash force have deviated slightly.

This is what saved the Taibai Sword Master, who only had the cultivation of a True Immortal, from disaster; he only suffered a drop in cultivation level.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Lin Yu's title of "grandmaster" is not entirely bad. After overcoming the backlash, the fate of the Taibai Sword Master will increase dramatically, and he will have abundant luck and opportunities in the future. It can be said that he turned misfortune into blessing...

Getting back to the main point, after Sect Leader Zhai made his assertion, everyone echoed his words and turned their attention back to Lin Yu.

Having entered the sect, according to the rules, Lin Yu will be given a complete set of top-tier magical artifacts and an introductory cultivation technique.

Among them, the cultivation methods must be selected by oneself in the Sutra Repository, while the top-grade magical artifacts are personally given by the master.

However, Lin Yu's situation was special. After discussing it through telepathy, everyone decided to let him choose a cultivation technique first, and then each of the peak sword masters and the three Nascent Soul elders would bestow a magic weapon upon him as a gift for entering the sect.

So, Jin Yong waved his hand, releasing a sword light that enveloped everyone and carried them to the Sutra Pavilion.

At this moment, Tian Sheng had finally finished dealing with the entry matters of the three new disciples. After letting out a long sigh, he was preparing to take a short break from his busy schedule.

Just as he sat down on the recliner at the entrance of the Sutra Repository, he saw streaks of sword light flash before his eyes, instantly revealing more than a dozen familiar and powerful figures.

Tian Sheng froze for a moment, then hurriedly got up from the recliner, bowed to each person, and addressed them respectfully.

Fortunately, the elders of the Ancient Sword Sect were focused on Lin Yu and did not notice his previous actions.

Tian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, immediately bowed respectfully, and prepared to take his leave.

But before he could retreat even half a step, Elder Tian stretched out his arm and grabbed him back.

“Nephew Zuo, although my two fellow disciples and I are the ancestors of the Ancient Sword Sect, we have always lived on the Upper Sword Peak and are not very familiar with the Scripture Pavilion on the Lower Sword Peak.”

"I'm sure all of you fellow sword masters feel the same way, so let this young man take on the task of leading the way!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Sheng was stunned. He never expected that he would be conscripted by his ancestor again.

But there was nothing he could do. He understood his ancestor's good intentions, wanting him to have more contact with Lin Yu and to build a good relationship in the future.

Thinking of this, Tian Sheng sighed inwardly, and could only force a smile, leading Lin Yu and the elders into the Scripture Pavilion while speaking in a formulaic tone:
"The Scripture Pavilion is the foundation of our Ancient Sword Sect, containing 3,765 manuals and techniques!"

"Among them, the first-level cultivation techniques are mostly prepared for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, while the second-level cultivation techniques and secret arts can be cultivated up to the Core Formation stage."

"As for the third level, it contains the unique techniques of each peak of our Ancient Sword Sect, as well as various precious fragments of ancient methods..."

Tian Sheng skillfully introduced the Sutra Repository, and many of the little-known facts even surprised Elder Tian, ​​who seemed not to have expected that this young man would have such abilities.

Among everyone, only Zhai Ziyi, the sect leader, showed no surprise.

After all, if Tian Sheng wasn't so useful, why would he treat this guy differently?

After completing this formulaic process, everyone arrived at the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

Tian Sheng stopped and subconsciously took out a jade token from his pocket, handing it to Lin Yu: "All the cultivation techniques jade slips in the Scripture Pavilion are protected by restrictions. This jade token can break through the spiritual light restrictions on the jade slips, but it can only be used once."

"Junior brother, you'd better choose first, and then—"

Before he finished speaking, Sect Master Zhai waved his hand and, using his sect master authority, removed one layer of restrictions from all the cultivation technique jade slips.

Tian Sheng's voice abruptly stopped, and he turned to twitch his lips, chuckling awkwardly as he took back the jade pendant.

"forget it……"

Lin Yu chuckled upon seeing this, and then he heard Sect Master Zhai say with a smile, "With Junior Brother Zuo's aptitude, he should be able to successfully establish his foundation soon. This level of cultivation technique is just a transition; just choose one at random."

"It won't be too late to switch to cultivating the unique skills of my Ancient Sword Sect after I've established my foundation!"

As he spoke, he walked to the bookshelf in the center and picked up a jade slip.

"Your senior brother recommends this 'Return to Origin Sword Technique' to you. Although it's not the highest grade in the first level, it can lay an incredibly solid foundation for you. By using this technique to build your foundation, your magical power will become extremely pure, far exceeding that of other techniques of the same grade by several times." "The only problem is that this technique takes a considerable amount of time to cultivate."

"But it shouldn't be a big problem for you, right?"

As Sect Leader Zhai spoke with a smile, he handed the jade slip containing the cultivation technique to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu gladly accepted it, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he discerned the mysteries and principles of the entire cultivation technique.

At the same time, seeing that Lin Yu had accepted the "Return to Origin Sword Manual", everyone smiled and immediately took out the magical artifacts and treasures they had considered on the way, preparing to give them to Lin Yu as a gift for entering the sect.

But at that moment, Lin Yu closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the spot, and immediately began to circulate the "Return to Origin Sword Technique".

"boom!"

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the entire Sutra Repository, and even the Lower Sword Peak, surged violently.

The surging spiritual energy condensed into substantial clouds and mist, transforming into long dragons of spiritual energy that poured wildly into the Scripture Pavilion.

However, the Scripture Pavilion is an important place of the Ancient Sword Sect, and it is protected by powerful restrictions both inside and outside the pavilion.

Faced with these restrictions, the long dragon of spiritual energy that had merely been attracted was naturally helpless and could only circle around outside, violently pounding against the gate of the Scripture Pavilion.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Once he came to his senses, Old Monster Jin decisively waved his hand, breaking the restrictions on the entrance to the Scripture Pavilion, allowing the long dragons of spiritual energy that had been unable to enter to finally rush in.

At this moment, the others also woke up and hurriedly avoided the surging dragon of spiritual energy coming from outside the Scripture Pavilion, watching helplessly as it rushed towards the figure sitting cross-legged on the spot.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, streams of spiritual energy surged into the boy's body.

And so, amidst the somewhat stunned gazes of the crowd, the boy's aura began to rise steadily.

In just three minutes, he advanced from the tenth level of Qi Refining to the eleventh level, and then continued his rapid progress, breaking through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining without any pause...

"The Body of the Sun!"

Fire Dragon Boy snapped out of his daze, his eyes immediately gleaming, and exclaimed excitedly, "It's the body of the sun!"

The cultivators were taken aback upon hearing this, and then turned their attention to the Fire Dragon Child.

"Is Senior Uncle Lan certain?"

"Nonsense!" Fire Dragon Boy said without hesitation, "Look closely, among those spiritual dragons, there is clearly a touch of crimson sunlight essence."

"Without a doubt, this must be the legendary Sun Body, which can absorb the essence of sunlight and enhance cultivation and magical power!"

At this point, he seemed to understand something, and looked at Lin Yu with amazement, saying, "No wonder he has the cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining without ever cultivating. It turns out that the Solar Body is operating on its own, which has increased his cultivation level!"

Is there such a thing?
The cultivators looked surprised and couldn't help but look at Lin Yu again.

Soon, Lin Yu's cultivation reached a bottleneck. His realm stopped advancing rapidly and instead began to solidify and compress, refining his mana according to the methods of the Returning Origin Sword Technique.

Everyone present had progressed from the Qi Refining stage, so they naturally understood the significance of this action—

Lin Yu has already begun his attempt at Foundation Establishment!

Realizing this, everyone exchanged glances and remained silent, quietly waiting for Lin Yu's breakthrough.

About half an hour later, the violent spiritual energy finally subsided.

Everyone stared blankly at the boy, who was radiating spiritual light and exuding a perfect aura. His originally misty magical power had completely solidified in the short time it had just passed, transforming into a pale red liquid magical power ball.

"You've...established your foundation?"

"He's already at the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

The sword masters of the various peaks looked at each other in bewilderment.

Tian Sheng was speechless, his face blank with astonishment.

When they came to their senses, everyone was deeply shocked.

Recalling their own foundation-building process, they not only had to prepare mentally for a month or two, but also needed to take Foundation-Building Pills to increase the success rate.

And what about Lin Yu?

Having just obtained the cultivation technique, he sat down cross-legged on the spot without hesitation.

Breaking through to the next level was as easy as breathing. In just half an hour, right under their noses, he broke through from the tenth level of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage in one go!

Indeed, comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!
All the cultivators, including Sect Leader Zhai, couldn't help but show their emotions.

At this moment, Tian Sheng finally came to his senses and, recalling Lin Yu's boast of surpassing him within a year, couldn't help but blush.

This is not just empty talk; it's the most honest reality imaginable!
