The capsule entered her body and instantly transformed into a pure, vast surge of spiritual energy; the dried-up Spirit Sea was rapidly replenished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dais, now replenished, nearly became solid—but still lacked one final thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yunlu crossed her hands and formed an unusual hand seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum~ An unfathomably profound vibration spread from her Spirit Sea; her physical body instantly withered, turning to skin and bone within moments, her vitality reduced to the faintest flicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Principle of Peril—life born from death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dais seemed to cross the final heavenly chasm, becoming utterly solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon the dais, black and white slowly intertwined and entwined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For external-object Foundation Establishment, black and white would fully merge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Heaven-born Foundation Establishment, one color would remain dominant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Creation Foundation Establishment, it was different: the “Principle of Peril” stood at the center, mediating black and white, ultimately forming on the dais a distinct, Dao-rich Taiji pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her emaciated, skin-and-bone body returned to normal; the faint flame-like vitality swelled into a roaring blaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her previously pure spiritual power now had the texture of flowing radiance, transformed into Foundation Establishment True Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soul force underwent transformation; her spiritual perception began to extend outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a haze, Zhang Yunlu seemed to sense a gaze—a gaze filled with expectation—gazing from the depths of the void, from infinite distance. “Here it comes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Foundation Establishment cultivator experiences this—but only those who achieve Creation Foundation Establishment can perceive it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As that gaze descended, a mysterious rune appeared upon the dais.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inner Sect, Sword Lord Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That elder is still just as he always is,” Xu Xing sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had naturally paid attention to Zhang Yunlu’s Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our human youth are free from alien covetousness precisely because of this elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No alien race has ever seized human bodies because this elder has always guarded against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is a peak human existence equal to the ancestral elders of the Immortal Sects, rarely interacting with others—even among his own peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whenever any human cultivator reaches Foundation Establishment, regardless of rank, he casts his gaze upon them and leaves behind a protective Dao rune on their dais.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This protective Dao rune shields every human cultivator from alien possession and control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even Gu, the ancestor of the Cang race, unless he intervenes personally, can only induce human cultivators to betray through manipulation and brainwashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bie Xuening stood beside Xu Xing, also gazing toward Zhang Yunlu’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Creation Foundation Establishment complete, she only needs to adapt for a while in the Starry Sky Simulation Training Ground before departing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope she succeeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a grand will descended;

every time he goes out, he provokes me deliberately, yet fears punishment upon returning, so he always brings gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Senior Sister only ever wore a few styles before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second update, request subscription.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, the assassin Wu Liuqi is truly handsome.
