Xiaoyao Peak.
Ye Kong observed the situation at Tianjian Peak, then retracted his gaze, pretending to have seen nothing.
It's none of my business.
Ah... It seems it really isn't my business.
It was Xiaobai's foundation-building cultivation that triggered the celestial phenomena. I just moved him to another location.
Well, it's not my fault. Blame Xiaobai if you must.
Building a foundation can actually trigger celestial phenomena.
Just like Lin Yaoyao, their foundation-building cultivations are quite impressive.
At this moment, Lin Yaoyao emerged from the pond and sensed around. Xiaobai was asleep, and the master was fishing.
no one on Xiaoyao Peak is seriously cultivating.
Except me.
Lin Yaoyao returned to her room and sat cross-legged.
At this moment, Xiaobai was still in a coma, completely unaware of the situation outside.
He had already completed his foundation-building, and after his spiritual energy circulated once around his body and his foundation was thoroughly stabilized, the celestial phenomena would dissipate.
Ye Kong had already helped him sort out his spiritual energy, and now it just needed to circulate by itself.
...
At Tianjian Peak.
Chen Chunyang was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain.
Luo Yangtian was struggling to resist the demonic qi and prevent it from spreading.
The disciples of Tianjian Peak were hiding in their rooms, trembling in fear.
This was only the second time they had seen such a sight in their entire lives.
The first time was when the ancestor of the Mole Palace appeared, and the second time was now.
And it was happening on their Tianjian Peak, which was terrifying indeed.
"Is it the Demon Cult attacking our Tianjian Peak?"
"It shouldn't be. It seems there's a Demon Cult spy on our Tianjian Peak who is practicing demonic cultivation and triggering the demonic qi."
"Ugh, there's a Demon Cult spy on Tianjian Peak? That's terrifying!"
"Tianjian Peak is too dangerous. Is it too late for me to transfer to another peak?"
Many Tianjian Peak disciples were worried.
Anyone would be afraid to be associated with a spy, fearing that they might lose their lives.
"Sect Leader, I really don't know who triggered this demonic qi." Chen Chunyang explained weakly.
He knew the situation on Tianjian Peak very well.
Even if there were a few Demon Cult spies, they couldn't trigger such terrifying demonic qi.
Even the leader of the Mole Palace wouldn't necessarily be able to trigger such overwhelming demonic qi.
Luo Yangtian held his breath,mustering all his strength to resist, and transmitted his thoughts with his divine sense: "This demonic qi appeared on your Tianjian Peak. You better give me an explanation!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for investigating you for the sake of the sect!"
"Sect Leader, you must believe me! I'm innocent!" Chen Chunyang argued below.
"This damn demonic qi, where did it come from, and why doesn't it dissipate?" Chen Chunyang cursed.
It was because of this demonic qi that he couldn't explain himself clearly.
As soon as Chen Chunyang finished speaking, the demonic qi dissipated.
It dissipated directly, as if it had never been there.
Luo Yangtian was stunned in the air. Was that it?
The elders watched the demonic qi disappear into thin air and then looked up at Chen Chunyang in confusion.
"This..."
The other seven peak masters were also on guard against Chen Chunyang.
Chen Chunyang: ...
What the hell...
I was just saying that casually, and you actually dissipated it!
You could have waited a little longer to dissipate!
Now that it's gone, how am I going to explain this?
Who's screwing me over?
Luo Yangtian landed from the sky, with his hands behind his back and facing away from Chen Chunyang.
"Sect Leader, I was just saying that casually, and I didn't expect it to actually dissipate." Chen Chunyang explained.
"Do you believe me when I say it's not my fault?"
"What do you think?" Luo Yangtian said sternly.
They had struggled to resist it for so long, but Chen Chunyang's single sentence made the demonic qi dissipate.
It was hard for them not to suspect him.
The elders landed one after another and surrounded Chen Chunyang.
"It's really not my fault!" Chen Chunyang felt deeply wrongfully accused.
"I'm wrongfully accused!"
"If you have anything to say, go to the Punishment Hall." The head of the Punishment Hall stepped out.
Luo Yangtian directly moved to seal Chen Chunyang's cultivation.
Chen Chunyang retreated a few steps but stopped when he sensed Luo Yangtian's aura, allowing Luo Yangtian to seal his cultivation.
"Don't make any sudden moves until the matter is investigated." Luo Yangtian said coldly.
"Whether you're wrongfully accused or not, I will investigate it clearly!"
Chen Chunyang looked at the trap set up around him and could only nod in defeat.
"Elder, lead the elders to fully investigate the source of the demonic qi."
"Law Enforcement Hall, fully investigate the disciples of Tianjian Peak." Luo Yangtian instructed.
"Yes!" Everyone responded.
Luo Yangtian stepped on the stars and returned to the Star River Hall, withdrawing the power of the stars to continue suppressing the ancestor of the Mole Palace.
"Hehe, Luo Yangtian, the demon is already in trouble. You can't suppress me for much longer!" The ancestor of the Mole Palace sneered.
"No, the demonic qi has already dissipated, and the situation is under control." Luo Yangtian said calmly.
"Impossible!" The ancestor of the Mole Palace panicked.
He knew very well how powerful that demonic qi was.
Especially that great demon, a being that frightened him, was definitely not someone Luo Yangtian could handle.
But the demonic qi had indeed dissipated. What was going on?
"What's going on?" The ancestor of the Mole Palace shouted.
"Huh." Luo Yangtian snorted and didn't elaborate further.
The demonic qi had dissipated too quickly at that time, and he hadn't figured out where it came from.
The only suspect was Tianjian Peak's peak master, Chen Chunyang.
...
Xiaoyao Peak.
After Xiaobai's spiritual energy circulated once around his body, he opened his eyes groggily.
He didn't realize what had happened at all.
When he was fully awake, he covered his head with his hands.
"Ugh, it hurts."
His head had been hit, and it was still painful.
After holding the painful area for a while, Xiaobai moved his arms and legs.
As soon as he moved, Xiaobai was surprised.
"I built my foundation just by sleeping?"
Xiaobai was confused,收敛 his divine sense, and sensed that his foundation was already stable.
"When did I build my foundation?"
Moreover, he didn't have a foundation-building object. What did he use to build his foundation?
Xiaobai pondered for a moment and looked at the weeds on the ground.
Wait, the bone was gone!
Could it be that when I was knocked unconscious, my spiritual energy automatically circulated and absorbed the bone to build my foundation?
That's impossible!
Xiaobai looked around and confirmed that the broken bone was indeed gone.
"I..."
"Waaah... I built my foundation with a broken bone. My future as an emperor is ruined!"
Xiaobai cried loudly, deeply saddened.
For other cultivators, foundation-building was extremely difficult, and even after failing four or five times, they might not succeed. Being able to build a foundation meant embarking on the path of immortality.
But for Xiaobai, foundation-building was very simple. Anything could be used as a foundation-building object.
However, the better the foundation-building object, the higher the future achievements.
As the saying goes, "A tall building starts from the ground up." Building a foundation still relies on oneself.
The more solid the foundation, the less likely it is to have accidents or signs of going astray during cultivation.
Xiaobai sat on the ground, feeling sad and frustrated.
It's so hard for me.
My cultivation and physical body were destroyed by the master. And now that I've finally built my foundation, it was with a broken bone.
How am I going to reclaim my throne in the future?
Waaah...
Xiaobai sat on the ground feeling miserable for quite a while before finally standing up.
"Forget it, I've already established my foundation now. All I need to do is try to concentrate during cultivation and not let anyone disturb me."
"Even though my foundation is a bit weak, I've still successfully established it, at least."
After regaining his courage, Xiaobai walked out of the room.
Facing the sun, he wiped away his tears.
Regardless, life must go on, doesn't it?
"I'm going to confront Master first and teach him a lesson for bullying me!"
With that said, Xiaobai flew off in the direction of the Bitter Sea.
