Mortal: Li Feiyu, who came from the realm of a supreme being

The intention of "annihilation" should be to destroy the realm of self.

But even just plotting against a Core Formation cultivator requires taking a huge risk.

Even with Li Feiyu's immense confidence, it was impossible for him to devise a plan to capture a Core Formation cultivator alive and then force the Core Formation cultivator to voluntarily enter the Realm of Annihilation to complete this crucial step.

It's difficult to operate during the Core Formation stage, but it's different during the Foundation Establishment stage.

As long as his freedom is restricted, he is guided in a suitable environment, and the cultivation of self-destruction is packaged as an opportunity... finally, the golden core that needs nurturing is forcibly implanted into the Foundation Establishment stage using a secret method. This way, the golden core can be nurtured, and the process of "self-destruction" can be accelerated.

The golden core that has undergone extreme destruction and self-destruction is mature and can be used to fill the eight paths.

Although it is a very inhumane method, it is relatively easy to carry out.

He originally needed to devise a plan to kill a Demonic Path Core Formation cultivator to obtain their Golden Core; now he's just capturing another Demonic Path Foundation Establishment cultivator to cultivate.

Moreover, this Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of the demonic path must be not only biased, ruthless, and extreme in temperament, but also have an inflated sense of self-importance, look down on all living beings, and be insanely self-centered in order to fit the description.

Thinking about it that way, there really is someone who fits the bill perfectly.

That was Wang Chan, Han Li's sworn brother and lifelong friend, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect.

The more Li Feiyu thought about it, the more he felt that no one was more suitable than Wang Chan during the Foundation Establishment stage.

He was both extreme and fragile, practically perfect.

Moreover, capturing this young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect wouldn't be difficult, since he would fight Han Li first, and they would both be severely injured in the end.

He only needs to make a final move to take down Wang Chan; it will require almost no effort.

Li Feiyu carefully considered his plan, becoming increasingly satisfied with Wang Chan as his target. Moreover, if it was Wang Chan, he felt he didn't even need to lower his moral standards; this was clearly acting on behalf of Heaven.

Releasing items into the cycle of reincarnation will definitely bring in good karma.

After all, everyone has the right to kill those who follow the evil path, so it's perfectly reasonable for a martial arts practitioner like him to do such a thing.

……

With a clear plan in place, things proceeded in an orderly manner.

Besides his daily cultivation, Li Feiyu spent most of his time compiling cultivation techniques.

Fortunately, in his previous life he didn't delve into weapon crafting, alchemy, or formations; instead, he was engrossed in collecting and studying various cultivation techniques.

Otherwise, without these accumulated skills from his previous life, his options in this life would be very limited, and he might have no choice but to grit his teeth and start over with the cultivation techniques from his previous life.

Although he is currently focusing on the limited edition of "Myriad Paths of the Underworld" obtained through a death mission from his teammates, it is still a viable method for breaking through in other realms, thanks to the enhancement of his cultivation.

He is now compiling a demonic cultivation technique for the Foundation Establishment stage, which requires deeply incorporating the meaning of the word "annihilation" into it, while also making it look sophisticated and high-class.

Therefore, he referenced a large number of ancient cultivators' techniques and imitated the language and logic of ancient cultivators' techniques to compile his own, striving to make Chan'er unable to leave after just one glance.

Fortunately, many of the cultivation techniques brought out from the pagoda were of a high level. Although Li Feiyu's cultivation level in the immortal path was not high, his cultivation was still there. Even if some details were obscure, it would not affect the overall analysis of the cultivation techniques.

Another year has passed, and Li Feiyu is twenty-five years old.

That year, Han Li was also about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, Li Feiyu was faster than Han Li; he had already reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The cultivation speed that surpasses that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root is already unreasonable. Coupled with the supply of spirit stones from the array that consumes no resources, this speed is actually quite slow.

However, there's no need to rush right now.

Wang Chan's whereabouts are difficult to track. To catch him, we can only follow the plot of the original work, which is the treasure hunt at Yanling Fort four years later.

"Yanling Fortress... a treasure hunt? What were they fighting over again... the Qiankun Tower talisman treasure?"

Li Feiyu suddenly paused slightly, as if something was amiss.

Since he transmigrated, everyone, including himself, has looked very similar to anime characters, so he subconsciously thought this was an anime world.

But in reality, this place is different from the anime. First of all, Han Li's family is complete. His eldest brother, second brother, and third sister, who completely disappeared in the anime, are all alive and well. Li Feiyu has even met and spoken to them.

Now that they're setting their sights on Wang Chan, they've finally noticed the most incongruous part: the storyline related to Yanling Fortress.

The biggest difference between the two versions is that Yan Ruyan in the original novel did not have any illness. She participated in the entire Yan Family Fort incident, and the blood sacrifice of the seven sects disciples was merely to help her build her foundation.

"What a wicked woman... But if things go according to the original story, the Li brothers didn't leave; they'll come after us after capturing Wang Chan. Huh?"

Li Feiyu was suddenly stunned. Wasn't this a perfect opportunity to wipe them all out at once?

The two Core Formation stage cultivators are a bit troublesome... It's not that they can't be killed, but in the mortal system, 90% of them are glass cannons.

His Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman can ignore the opponent's Core Formation Cannon, so all that's left is glass.

The key question is, can Xin Ruyin's trapping formation hold two Core Formation stage cultivators? Two Core Formation stage cultivators have quite a bit of firepower; it would be troublesome if they escaped.

The main problem is that Xin Ruyin is only at the Qi Refining stage, and the Core Formation Formation is somewhat of a challenge for her. To be on the safe side, it would be better to let her reach the Foundation Establishment stage ahead of time.

Speaking of which, after three years of seclusion underground, Xiao Mei is almost at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, but Xin Ruyin, because she also practices martial arts, is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, Xin Ruyin hadn't made much progress in martial arts. It took her almost a whole year to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and another two years to practice the first level of the Bright Jade Skill. She only recently began to grasp the basics of the second level. Fortunately, she wasn't entirely in debt; in addition to her cultivation, she had been refining her array formation skills over the years.

Especially after Li Feiyu helped her clear her meridians and guide her qi, in addition to practicing even harder, she also devoted herself to studying those ancient array diagrams, seemingly struggling with something.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a genius in array formations, and is now beginning to figure out how to dismantle the forbidden array and integrate it into the arrays of this world.

However, doing this must be putting a strain on her body.

Li Feiyu didn't want to stifle her enthusiasm, so it was necessary to help her establish her foundation as soon as possible.

After establishing the foundation, one can abstain from grains and go without sleep for extended periods without affecting physical health.

Only after she has established her foundation can she better dedicate herself to practicing her skills and studying formations.

Hmm... I need to get her some thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to help suppress the Dragon Roar Body.

"Sigh, old demon, you were too weak and lacked resources at the Qi Refining stage, so I didn't mind if you took the cultivation technique for free. But now that you've reached Foundation Establishment, it's time we started to get to know each other better..."

Li Feiyu summoned Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei, and said directly, "Now I formally request that you both achieve Foundation Establishment within three years. Any questions?"

Xiao Mei was taken aback and hesitated, "But...we don't have any Foundation Establishment Pills."

Although she had a vague feeling that she was also a cultivation genius thanks to the spirit stone array, she was actually quite clear-headed.

For those who have established their true spiritual roots, Foundation Establishment Pills are almost essential, and sometimes even two are needed!

However, the Foundation Establishment Pill is a resource monopolized by the seven major sects in the Yue Kingdom, so they have no way of getting their hands on it.

Xin Ruyin didn't speak, she just looked at Li Feiyu.

Li Feiyu didn't shy away, staring at her as he said, "Ruyin, your task is even more important. I need you to complete a large-scale trapping formation while you're at the Foundation Establishment stage, capable of stabilizing at least two Core Formation cultivators!"

Xin Ruyin frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Ruyin understands."

"As for Foundation Establishment Pills, don't worry, I will provide them for you." Li Feiyu paused for a moment after saying this.

Why bring Xiaomei along? It doesn't seem necessary... She's just a maid with no special skills or talents, and it seems she's practically useless except for winning An Xinru's heart.

Oh well, she's almost reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining anyway, so I'll just help her establish her foundation. It's just some resources anyway, and he's quite wealthy right now, so he doesn't care about that.

Besides, having another Foundation Establishment cultivator would be a greater help. He also has many miscellaneous magical artifacts that would be a waste to throw away, as they are neither classy nor convenient to use. He could pick some out and distribute them.

After dismissing the two, Li Feiyu went to find Han Yunshu.

In recent years, she has become somewhat obsessed with weapon crafting, but her weapon crafting is similar to Xin Ruyin's martial arts training; she can only hope that her accumulated skills will eventually be put to good use.

"Yun Shu, I'm going to be away for a while. You can stay here and continue your cultivation." Li Feiyu broke the Ten Thousand Mile Talisman in half and handed it to her. "This is a Ten Thousand Mile Talisman. It can maintain communication even across tens of millions of miles. You should keep it safe."

"Don't you need me to go?" Han Yunshu asked curiously. "I'm almost at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage now, and I also have those magical artifacts and ancient treasures you gave me, which can be of help."

"I'm not going to fight. This is where all our family's wealth is. What will happen to our things if you go with us?" Li Feiyu asked.

Han Yunshu was slightly lost in thought upon hearing this.

After a short while, he replied, "Okay, I'll follow Brother Li's arrangements."

After arranging the relevant matters, Li Feiyu left.

……

Han Li has successfully established his foundation and opened up his own cave dwelling.

He chose a relatively desolate area in the Taiyue Mountains, bordering the Yuanwu Kingdom on one side and close to Xizhou on the other, a place where fellow disciples and other cultivators rarely passed by.

In this way, he can also cultivate and nurture spiritual plants in peace.

Furthermore, this cave dwelling also possesses a rare spiritual spring. As a result, the defensive formations issued by the sect are insufficient, so he decided to visit the nearby Tianxing Sect market.

In his opinion, there should at least be a comprehensive restriction method like the Hundred Herbs Garden, otherwise it would be troublesome if an external enemy invaded during cultivation.

However, to his utter surprise, before he could even find the Tianxing Sect Market, a terrifying, sharp golden blade of light shot straight down from the forest below.

"What?!"

Han Li was shocked and instinctively took out the Xuan Tie Flying Shield for defense, but he did not expect that the Sharp Gold Flying Knife was so powerful that it directly knocked him away.

Han Li sensed something was wrong, but then realized the situation was not right.

The force and sensation transmitted through the Xuan Tie Flying Sky Shield felt like being struck by a blunt object, rather than being hit by a flying knife.

Moreover, the scalpel looked somewhat familiar... He immediately understood.

Then, he twisted his body and used his lightness skill in the air to dissipate the downward momentum, landing lightly on the treetop like a falling leaf.

"Li! Fei! Yu!" Han Li roared, "You son of a bitch, can't you be a little more mature? Stop resorting to sneak attacks every time!"

"Robbery! Hand over your Foundation Establishment Pill!" Li Feiyu appeared behind him like a gentle breeze, his hands reaching to pluck at his meridians.
