I heard you acted?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Hehehe…»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang chuckled: «Of course we wiped them out—what, were we supposed to keep them for the New Year?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Wiped them out?» He Pingsheng was astonished: «Did you wipe out the Beast Taming Sect too?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«What are you thinking?» Xuan Yang gave He Pingsheng a scornful look: «The Beast Taming Sect has two Great Nascent Souls and a fourth-rank protective array—do you think a few of us Golden Core cultivators could wipe them out?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«I’m talking about the Hou family!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«The Beast Taming Sect blamed everything on the Hou family, so we didn’t hold back—we wiped them out in an instant!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Heh… turns out the Hou family are actually your elder brother’s descendants!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Elder brother?» He Pingsheng asked: «Which elder brother?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang said: “Dead… much older than the eldest disciple—he was the Master’s disciple when the Master was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, and has been dead for seven or eight hundred years!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Still, little brother, I must warn you!» Xuan Yang said: «Though we wiped out the Hou family, the Beast Taming Sect is not to be underestimated!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«If you ever encounter a Beast Taming Sect disciple in the future, be careful!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang added: «We have a grudge with them!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«A grudge?» He Pingsheng asked: «Is it deep?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang said: «Deep as the sea!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Our two sects are close neighbors—we once fought over a spirit stone mine!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«You know our Master was called the number one in the entire Dao Xuan Alliance in his youth—he struck once and slew the Beast Taming Sect’s own Nascent Soul Elder.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«That dispute ended, and the mine became ours—the Grand Void Gate’s!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Though the Ancestor is invincible, times change—the Beast Taming Sect’s descendants have proven far more capable than ours—they’ve produced two Great Nascent Souls!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«They currently fear the Ancestor and dare not act—but just imagine what will happen when our Master ascends to immortality…»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Sigh…»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Then it will surely be a bloodbath!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng now had a clear sense of the Beast Taming Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Xuan Yang off, He Pingsheng personally copied a full set of the first three chapters and the summary of the True Scripture of the Xuan Sect for Calming the Heart and delivered it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following days were uneventful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng lived in dread for another two years, yet still found no sign that the Grand Void Ancestor intended to possess him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even begun to think the Ancestor had no such plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng still daily plotted a perfect escape plan in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qiao Hui Zhu’s [Hundred Conceal Talismans] still hadn’t arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t wait any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because whether it was Spirit Refining, Body Refining, or the five dantians, He Pingsheng had all reached the peak of Qi Refining Level Twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the side hall, He Pingsheng reached out and pulled out a Foundation Establishment Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quality: Superior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Foundation Establishment Pill was obtained from Elder Xuan Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d given the old bastard a Heaven-class Spirit Refining scripture—was asking for a Foundation Establishment Pill too much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't brought out the Ultimate Foundation Establishment Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Ancestor’s watchful eye, he dared not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, try with the Superior one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he succeeded?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill and began frantically channeling the Li Huo True Method to refine its boundless energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by his will, the energy surged like waves, relentlessly striking an invisible barrier within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—suddenly, clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment—achieved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«I… I’m at Foundation Establishment Level One?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng opened his eyes in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt everything around him had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense had grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinarily, a Foundation Establishment Level One disciple’s spiritual sense reached a hundred zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, He Pingsheng’s spiritual sense had leapt directly to three hundred zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Hehehe… it actually worked!» He Pingsheng nearly thought he was dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pinched his thigh hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sssss…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realm countless Qi Refining cultivators dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, reaching Foundation Establishment doubled one’s lifespan—if not killed by calamity, one could live peacefully to nearly two hundred years, even without further breakthroughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling was truly wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«You broke through!» Just as He Pingsheng was beaming, the Grand Void Ancestor’s voice suddenly appeared: «Perfect—you’ve reached Foundation Establishment, come here and try making a second-rank array plate with me!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng’s face instantly fell: Damn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You knew I broke through this fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is... how did your voice reach me all the way from this distance?\u003C\u002Fp>",1172,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
