Chapter 153: The Might of a Golden Core Female Cultivator, Returning to the Xianxia Sect

Three days later.

Cloud Mist Mountain Range, inside a mountain valley.

Rumble—

Zhou Sui lay on the ground, panting, almost unable to move; a massive crater had appeared in the earth, gravel splattered everywhere, and smoke and dust billowed.

He had originally thought that since he had achieved Physical Foundation Establishment and been tempered by the Dragon Elephant Gu, his physical fitness had greatly improved.

He wouldn't dare say he was invincible, but he should have been able to contend with a Golden Core Real Person for a while.

Yet who could have imagined that after Leng Yuexi advanced to the Golden Core Realm, not only had her Dharma Power improved, but her physical fitness had also seen a massive increase, possessing a Golden Core physique.

The result was predictable; when he fought her, the gap in combat power was simply too vast.

It could be said that in this battle, Leng Yuexi had basically not even used the strength of her body to defeat Zhou Sui.

One could only say that the gap between a Qi Refining Cultivator and a Golden Core Cultivator is too large; they are simply not on the same level.

"Is this the power of a Golden Core Real Person? It is truly too powerful."

"For us Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it is simply a dimensionality-reduction strike."

"The Golden Core Dharma Domain possessed by a Golden Core Cultivator suppresses us Foundation Establishment Cultivators too much; once the Dharma Domain is deployed, we are instantly suppressed, with no power to resist."

Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan were also very grateful; they had also fought the opponent just now, but they too had been beaten to the ground in a single exchange, unable to move.

At this moment, they also realized the gap between themselves and a Golden Core Real Person.

It is no wonder that a Golden Core Real Person is a true hegemon, capable of founding a massive force that lasts for hundreds of years and dominating a region.

Because with this kind of strength, even if many Foundation Establishment Cultivators were bundled together, it would be impossible to defeat a Golden Core Real Person.

"There is no help for it; after advancing to the Golden Core Realm, it is a qualitative improvement."

"It is no longer something that a cultivator below the Golden Core Realm can compare to."

Leng Yuexi sighed with emotion; after the simple contest, she also realized that the power she now wielded was indeed far stronger than before, simply incomparable to the past.

"When I advance to Foundation Establishment, let's spar again."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes; this defeat did not dampen his fighting spirit, but instead made him even more excited.

The Dragon Elephant bloodline within his body was boiling, seemingly growing braver with every fight.

After all, his cultivation was now advancing by leaps and bounds; after a period of practice, the true essence within his body had greatly increased.

He was now at the realm of Qi Refining Perfection.

He was only one step away from truly stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At that time, his strength would see an astonishing improvement.

"Husband, I intend to return to the Xianxia Sect."

Leng Yuexi suddenly spoke, looking at Zhou Sui earnestly as she stated her decision.

"Return to the Xianxia Sect?"

Hearing this, Zhou Sui actually knew Leng Yuexi's thoughts long ago; when Leng Yuexi was merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even if she went back to the Xianxia Sect, it would not have been of any help.

Instead, she might have fallen into the enemy's trap, been kidnapped by the enemy, and met her end.

But now it was different.

Having advanced to the Golden Core Realm, Leng Yuexi's strength was more than a hundred times stronger than before.

This was a decisive combat force.

If she appeared on the battlefield at this time, she could certainly determine the trend of the war.

She could even help the Xianxia Sect achieve victory in this war.

Therefore, Leng Yuexi had developed the intention to return to the Xianxia Sect.

"Alright, since this is your decision, then I cannot refuse."

"But there is one thing you must remember: if the situation is impossible, run away quickly."

"There is no shame in that."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

"Rest assured, Husband, I will definitely be careful and cautious; if I really cannot beat the opponent, I will definitely run away."

"Even if my feelings for the Xianxia Sect are deep, I will not die alongside the Xianxia Sect."

"However, Husband, rest assured, I will soon end this war, and then I will gloriously have you, Husband, come to the Xianxia Sect."

Leng Yuexi looked at Zhou Sui with deep affection in her beautiful eyes.

"This!"

Zhou Sui blinked, not knowing why he always felt this sentence was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on exactly where it was strange.

Normally, these are words a man says to a woman—marrying a woman with great fanfare, the eight-bearer sedan chair, and so on.

But now, his own Dao Companion seemed to want to marry him with an eight-bearer sedan chair.

No matter how he looked at it, he seemed to have become a live-in son-in-law.

But regardless of anything else.

If Leng Yuexi could truly return to the Xianxia Sect and end this war.

Then she would inevitably become the Sect Master of the Xianxia Sect, in charge of a Golden Core sect.

And he would also become the man of the Xianxia Sect's Sect Master, a big shot secretly in control of the Xianxia Sect.

No matter how one looked at it, this was a business with a ten-thousand-fold return.

After all, behind every successful woman, there is a man.

He was the man behind a successful woman.

…………

The next day, Leng Yuexi left the valley and returned to the Xianxia Sect.

For Leng Yuexi, a Golden Core Real Person, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was no longer dangerous, and she could easily traverse this mountain range.

As for Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan, the four of them remained in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range; after all, their strength had no real influence on this war.

What truly determined the outcome of this war were the Golden Core Real Persons.

Therefore, they did not intend to return to the Xianxia Sect with Leng Yuexi.

It would not be too late to go to the Xianxia Sect after this war had truly ended.

Zhou Sui also did not want to get involved in such a dangerous war.

After all, if he were to truly encounter a Golden Core Real Person, he feared he would not be able to escape at all.

He was currently immersed in the process of cultivation.

"It is not impossible to attempt Foundation Establishment now, but it would not be a Perfect Foundation Establishment."

"To achieve a Perfect Foundation Establishment, it is not enough to just have full blood and energy, full Spiritual Sense, and full True Essence."

"The most important thing is for the essence, energy, and spirit to unite as one and form a resonance."

"Only then can it be considered a Perfect Foundation Establishment."

"In this way, even without a Foundation Establishment Pill, one can independently achieve Foundation Establishment, or even Hear Dao Foundation Establishment."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

To be honest, he was not in a hurry to reach Foundation Establishment right now.

For a cultivator, so-called Foundation Establishment is merely the very beginning.

This realm is also of vital importance, as it concerns one's future path of the Dao.

The more perfect this realm is, the easier it will be to advance to subsequent realms, and the fewer bottlenecks there will be.

If he could achieve a Perfect Foundation Establishment, then the success rate for advancing to Golden Core in the future would increase by at least twenty percent.

Such an effect is comparable to taking a type of Spirit Medicine for condensing a Pill.

Therefore, for the sake of his future path of the Dao, Zhou Sui naturally needed to spend a certain amount of time slowly polishing his cultivation.

After all, he was still relatively young and had plenty of time, so there was no need to rush for the moment.

And this period of polishing lasted for a full month.

Zhou Sui felt that his essence, energy, and spirit seemed to be becoming more and more perfect, and the vast True Essence flowing within his body had formed a perfect cycle; it seemed that as long as he found that resonance point, he could instantly achieve Foundation Establishment.

Truly becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

However, at this moment, a group of uninvited guests came knocking.

This group of uninvited guests was none other than Disciples of the Xianxia Sect.

An Elder at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and over a dozen Qi Refining Disciples all arrived respectfully before the valley.
