“`

Not only had his cultivation level advanced further, but he had also resolved the hidden dangers from his injuries and the consumption of a Second Rank Monster Core during previous battles.

“Although this merit is not small, it’s still far from enough to achieve Foundation Establishment…”

As Li Feiyu thought about the path ahead, a sense of gravity appeared on his face.

Through his endeavors in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, he had gained some understanding of Foundation Establishment.

He came to a profound realization of the difficulty he would face in attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment.

He possessed only a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root.

With a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, when breaking through the three barriers of Foundation Establishment and transforming Spiritual Power into Mana, the conversion efficiency is too slow, proving to be a burden.

Therefore, for those with a Lower Grade Spiritual Root to break through to Foundation Establishment, they must have a Foundation Establishment Elixir and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects linked to the Magic Barrier with only a ten to twenty percent chance of success.

And with his current merits, he could at most exchange for one Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.

“Changsheng has already achieved Foundation Establishment, how can I allow myself to fall behind.”

“I still have more than ten years, what difficulty would there be in striving to procure a Foundation Establishment Elixir in this time?”

Under Li Feiyu’s dark brows, his eyes were deep and bright, exuding an unstoppable determination.

…

The vast clear sky was as pure as a washed sapphire, the azure heaven untouched by a single cloud.

Among the cloud borders, a Spirit Boat shuttled along with six cultivators aboard, men and women alike.

Leading them was a man with a rebellious face and a physique as imposing as a mountain, who radiated a fierce and bandit-like aura in his red robe.

He looked at a youth aboard the Spirit Boat, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a hint of violence between his brows, and said, “Little brother, in half a month, we will arrive at the Red Leaf Valley Market you spoke of.”

“Have you thought about how to resolve it?”

The brawny man said with a sonorous voice and a wild look on his face.

“Big brother, my parents died in that Red Leaf Valley Market, so I want the entire market and the four major families backing it to accompany my parents in death as a sacrifice to their spirits!”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu’s brows were filled with violence, and hatred flickered in his eyes.

Ten years ago, his parents, in order to prepare Foundation Establishment Resources for him, chose to loot the Marketplace. Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As a result, both of them perished at Red Leaf Valley Market.

While he was fleeing alone, the blood feud of his parents constantly spurred him on.

Through countless brushes with death, he finally made some gains, chancing upon an opportunity in an ancient cave dwelling, breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Later, he even gathered several sworn brothers and a Dao companion in the Imperial Spirit Sect’s Domain due to a beast tide.

Especially after the eldest brother and his Dao companion learned of his thirst for revenge, inquired about the cause, and expressed a willingness to help him avenge his parents, he was deeply moved.

“Good, worthy of little brother indeed, truly domineering, let’s do it the way you suggested!”

A rough and unrestrained voice echoed.

“This Red Leaf Valley Market, as little brother said, is just made up of a few Foundation Establishment Families. With all of us brothers going there, aren’t they easy to manipulate!”

Another voice, leaning towards the cold, rang out.

“With our older brothers present, surely they will be easy to manipulate, but these families all have Great Formations protecting them. If we make consecutive moves, we might even attract people from Qingyun Sect.”

“Brother Yu, do you have any tokens to send to these four families to let them know you’ve returned, to keep them constantly anxious? Once they gather, or if we manage to lure them together, we’ll find an opportunity to eradicate them all in one fell swoop!”

The peach-dressed woman by Fang Yu’s side spoke out.

“Little sister, this proposal isn’t bad at all. In that case, when the time comes, we’ll send a clock to these four families and tell them little brother is back, to let them know they will repay their debts in blood, to get cleaned up and wait for death, kekekek!”

As someone heard the suggestion, they immediately laughed boisterously.

“Alright, then, when the time comes, we’ll send a clock to these four families as a harbinger of their end!”

Fang Yu, hearing this, displayed a cruel smile.

Then, looking at the sky with eyes full of malevolence, he muttered, “Dad, mom, your son will use Red Leaf Valley Market, the four major families, to sacrifice to your spirits in heaven!”

…

Bi Lake Mountain.

Changsheng Hall, inside the cave dwelling.

“Clang, clang, clang——”

“`

Lu Changsheng heard the noise and gazed at the golden cocoon.

As the clear and resonant sounds of clinking and clashing rose incessantly, the golden cocoon began to crack.

“Boom!”

The golden cocoon exploded with a bang, and infinite radiance surged forth.

A six-winged golden silkworm, its body shimmering with golden light, appeared.

After its promotion to the second rank, there had been no significant change.

Its body had grown from the original two inches to four or five inches, glistening throughout, and its wings, thin as cicada’s, sported strands of golden patterns.

The whole gave off the impression of an invincible and indestructible aura.

“After advancing to the second rank, what changes are there?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the six-winged golden silkworm in front of him and asked aloud.

Though the six-winged golden silkworm was known for its ferocity and brutality, with hardly any spiritual intelligence to speak of,

through systematic training, Lu Changsheng could still communicate simply with it.

But as soon as the six-winged golden silkworm heard Lu Changsheng’s words, it spat out a beam of golden light, sharp as an arrow.

“Boom!”

The beam struck the wall of the cave abode, leaving behind a black, scorching gap.

“As expected of an ancient rare insect species, just having ascended to the second rank, it boasts such an attack power!”

“This cave abode was constructed mainly from void xuan stones and inscribed with spiritual pattern formations; while not as hard as spiritual artifacts, it’s comparable to a magic artifact.”

“Moreover, within this golden light, besides its sharpness, there’s also a True Fire essence that can scorch and corrode one’s body and soul!”

Lu Changsheng examined the spot where the six-winged golden silkworm attacked, his face showing delight.

He clearly recognized the terror of the six-winged golden silkworm’s offensive capabilities.

An average Foundation Establishment cultivator facing such attacks would likely disintegrate body and soul if careless.

As if understanding Lu Changsheng’s encouragement, the six-winged golden silkworm shook its body, and the gold light around it exploded exponentially, taking on the appearance of a massive golden cup.

“Clang, clang, clang—”

Lu Changsheng tapped on the six-winged golden silkworm’s body with his finger.

He then pulled out a superior magic artifact and chopped at the six-winged golden silkworm.

But the magical sword collided with the golden silkworm, resulting only in a noise reminiscent of clashing metal.

“Slash!”

Lu Changsheng circulated his mana and spurred the magical sword to continue slashing at the six-winged golden silkworm.

Yet, like a golden cup, the golden silkworm remained completely unyielding.

Even after being chopped twice, the golden silkworm became slightly restless, its body emanating a ferocious and savage bloodthirsty aura.

This was Lu Changsheng, its master, and it was able to control itself.

If it were anyone else, it would have attacked by now.

“Such a physique is not weaker than a lower grade spiritual artifact, even stronger than average spiritual artifacts by a margin.”

Lu Changsheng put away the magical sword and took out a gourd filled with spiritual blood to feed the six-winged golden silkworm.

After a simple test, he had gained a clear understanding of the six-winged golden silkworm’s strength.

For the likes of the Yu Family, Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and those at the Foundation Establishment level, facing the six-winged golden silkworm meant almost certain death.

Because their cultivation level and strength were unlikely to break through the six-winged golden silkworm’s defenses.

And facing its attack, they would have difficulty defending.

However, if they fled immediately upon encounter, there was still a good chance they could escape.

After the six-winged golden silkworm had eaten its fill, Lu Changsheng put it back into the spiritual pet bag and walked out of Changsheng Hall.

“Husband…”

Just at that moment, Lu Miaoyun rushed over hurriedly to inform Lu Changsheng of a piece of news.
