Chapter 832

Liulan suddenly looked up, gazing into the distance; in that direction, the wind was rising and clouds were surging, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was slightly changing, as if the Shaman tribe was holding a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven. Thus, Liulan knew that the Qingming Dao Foundation Ceremony had begun; this round of bombing could be considered a greeting gift sent by Wei Yuan, while the corpses of ten thousand Shaman tribe members were more like sacrifices for the Dao Foundation Ceremony.

Wei Yuan stood in the air, having changed his vision. At this time, the Qingming below had turned into a vast sea of clouds, and there were points of starlight flickering in the sea of clouds. Those were the cultivators who were forging their Dao Foundations; when the starlight stabilized, they would be Dao Foundation cultivators.

Many points of starlight were not very strong to begin with, and then inevitably gradually dimmed. But there were also many weak points of starlight that found another way, maintaining a low-brightness light, and finally stepped onto the path of the Dao Foundation.

Wei Yuan changed his vision, looking at the Qingming in reality. He covered the whole scene with his spiritual sense, and then flew to that mountain peak, first sprinkling the third round of luck, and then opening the third round of "Moment of All Living Beings". In the blink of an eye, the Dao Foundations of more than a hundred young masters and young ladies gradually stabilized.

Wei Yuan observed the progress of the others, then immediately supplemented the luck, opened the fourth round of "Moment of All Living Beings", and finally another ninety-plus young masters and young ladies achieved their Dao Foundations. Adding the batch that broke through at the very beginning, there were already over three hundred Dao Foundation cultivators in total.

Wei Yuan nodded secretly; this success rate was completely acceptable, and he could continue to cheat next year... no, collect reasonable labor fees. In fact, if the young masters and young ladies were willing to listen to advice and choose the suggested template Dao Foundations, at least another hundred or so Dao Foundations could be produced, and that success rate would exceed twenty percent, enough to drop people's jaws.

Unfortunately, many people felt that they were a different species once they had money, so they looked down on the template Dao Foundations provided by Qingming, and had to prove their uniqueness.

Little did they know that money had nothing to do with their genes. No matter how much immortal silver they had, it couldn't change their aptitude and foundation, not to mention that they didn't have that much immortal silver.

Thus, every year there would be a batch of young masters and young ladies who returned in low spirits, and it wouldn't work even if Wei Yuan opened the "Moment of All Living Beings" a few more times. Mud, this thing, it just couldn't be put on the wall, and helping it a few more times was useless.

But looking at it from another angle, every year there were those who couldn't recognize themselves, so in the coming year, or a year after that, there would be a batch who had reflected and thought clearly, and they would eventually forge their Dao Foundations, it was just spending two more years and a hundred times more immortal silver than others.

In Wei Yuan's view, this was the privilege of the rich: spending more money to do the same thing.

But there was also a batch of clear-headed and hardworking young masters and young ladies who were truly looking forward to a miracle, otherwise they would never become Dao Foundations no matter how hard they tried. The so-called miracle was the appearance of new template Dao Foundations like the Residual Fire Sword. Wei Yuan had no way to help these people either; after all, although the threshold for the Residual Fire Sword was low, it still existed.

After prioritizing the young masters and young ladies' affairs, Wei Yuan returned to the main venue. At this time, people were forging their Dao Foundations one after another below, forming points of light, and within the light were newly forged Dao Foundations.

Counting the number of light points, Wei Yuan nodded secretly. The major clans sent a total of over four thousand people; the ones sent by the Cui and Bao families were already leftovers, so the success rate naturally wouldn't be high.

But the aptitude of the disciples from the Xu family, the Southern Qi Li family, and the Qinghe Song-Cui family who came for the first time this year was clearly much better, and coupled with the sudden emergence of the Residual Fire Sword, the success rate was shockingly high; what Wei Yuan saw now was already close to twenty percent, and it would definitely exceed twenty percent in the end.

The success rate of these clan disciples who couldn't afford a lot of money was even higher than that of the young masters and young ladies, and the core reason lay in the Residual Fire Sword. The young masters and young ladies disliked that the Residual Fire Sword didn't shine, and its black appearance wasn't good, with nothing to look at, so almost no one chose it. However, he believed that next year, many people would recognize the reality, although the reality was not easy for people to accept.

The Grand Void Palace sent five thousand Dao soldiers. This number was smaller than in previous years, not because the Grand Void Palace's strength was insufficient, but because those who could ascend to Dao Foundation had basically already ascended, and it was really impossible to find more candidates. Dao soldier cultivation was not a task of a moment, and it also required serious training for several years; besides, the Grand Void Palace didn't need too many Dao soldiers, except for the Northern Shanmen that could use them, other mountain gates didn't need Dao soldiers at all, so these five thousand people were mostly those who had been here before.

It had to be said that their own Dao soldiers were very willing to listen to advice, and coupled with the needs of battle, most people chose the Residual Fire Sword.

When Wei Yuan flew over, it was just the moment for the Dao soldiers below to break through collectively, and the newly born Dao Foundations also stimulated the colleagues and comrades beside them, as a result, many people held their breath, and actually succeeded!

The points of light that suddenly lit up below instantly made Wei Yuan feel a bit dazed; this success rate was already close to thirty percent! It turned out that the Residual Fire Sword lowered the threshold a little, and the number of Dao Foundation cultivators actually doubled?

There was nothing to see on the rogue cultivator side, and the success rate was about the same as that of the clan disciples and young masters and young ladies. Originally they would only have a five percent chance, but the vast majority of rogue cultivators chose the Residual Fire Sword.

Only heating without shining was an excellent sneak attack weapon in the eyes of rogue cultivators, not to mention the low threshold and great power. As for whether it looked good, it was not important at all; they were already rogue cultivators, and still wanted a fancy Dao Foundation, were they afraid they wouldn't die fast enough?

Finally, it was Qingming's own cultivators; this year there were more than thirty thousand people, with light of different colors and ever-changing variations. Qingming cultivators were different from other cultivators; most of them didn't need to go to the battlefield, and they had the realistic need to find jobs in Qingming, so the starting point for choosing a Dao Foundation was different.

Some unpopular strange Dao Foundations with no combat power were very popular in Qingming, such as the old Daoist's Beast-Taming Heavenly Heart, and Sun Yu's Sterilization and Disinfection Qi. The Residual Fire Sword was very popular as soon as it came out because it could stably generate heat.

Because the environment of the domain had improved and they ate well, the basic physical quality of this batch of Qingming cultivators was generally stronger than in the past, which was reflected in the fact that their average foundation was slightly higher, by about ten percent. Wei Yuan observed from the air, and finally, the success rate should be only slightly lower than that of the Grand Void Palace Dao soldiers, and should be above twenty percent, but less than thirty percent.

In this way, Qingming could have eight thousand more Dao Foundations, and Wei Yuan was already quite satisfied. Template Dao Foundations could also use flying swords and guns, and their combat power after entering the battlefield was much stronger than Body Forging completion. Sure enough, holding the Dao Foundation Ceremony before the Shaman tribe arrived was the correct decision.

Just as Wei Yuan was secretly happy, suddenly the wind rose and clouds surged in the front sky, and a large expanse of tribulation clouds actually appeared; the heavenly tribulation was imminent!

Wei Yuan was shocked; the Dao Foundation Ceremony was, to put it bluntly, a centralized training camp for a group of waste materials who couldn't become Dao Foundations under normal circumstances, what virtue and ability did they have to make Heaven go to the trouble of striking them with thunder?

The heavenly tribulation took shape instantly, and all the cultivators of the Grand Void Palace were shocked; Zhang Sheng, who had been watching silently, appeared behind Wei Yuan and pulled him away, away from the venue. Sure enough, the thunder light in the heavenly tribulation weakened a bit.

Wei Yuan's face was livid, but he was helpless. With this round of heavenly tribulation falling, he didn't know how many cultivators in the venue would die; how could they have the possibility of resisting the heavenly tribulation?

The speed of the heavenly tribulation was extremely fast, and before everyone could react, nine points of thunder light appeared in the tribulation clouds, and then the nine thunders merged into one, turning into a thin, bright blue pillar of light that fell!

Looking at that pillar of light, which was thin but dazzlingly bright and contained infinite thunder power, Wei Yuan suddenly felt moved; this was the heavenly tribulation of his dreams! Unfortunately, he had never encountered it, to the point that the lightning rod he spent a lot of money to build was used by others.

The thunder pillar was about to land, when suddenly a young girl flew up from below, actually crashing into the thunder pillar!

Then a sword light that seemed to exist or not, as if it could destroy the heavens and the earth, lit up, and the young girl carried a heavy sword that was even larger than her own body, slashing and extinguishing the tribulation thunder with one sword!

This sword was strong and domineering, not reasoning at all, and actually had a shadow of the strongest killing move of the Myriad Ages Thousand Autumn Sword, "Four Barbarians Swept Away".

The heavenly tribulation dissipated, and the young girl's body was still full of thunder light, and a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi came from the void, causing the giant sword in her hand to turn from virtual to real.

The area where the young girl was located was the area of the newly promoted Dao soldiers of the Qingming Dao Soldier Hall, most of whom were the young boys and girls of the Xu family from back then, and a small part were high-level sacrifices and their descendants.

At this time, after the young girl passed the heavenly tribulation, the overflowing Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was absorbed by these Qingming Dao soldiers, and then the Dao Foundation light lit up one after another, like an ocean of light!
