Primordial Foundation Refining Pill

"How is that possible?!"

Chu Rou's expression froze as she saw Li Zhōujūn effortlessly block her attack, her eyes filled with disbelief.

But immediately after, Chu Rou let out a delicate cry, and the golden Dharma seal in Li Zhōujūn's hand shone even brighter.

This made Li Zhōujūn feel as if he were holding a heavy mountain in his hand.

"A trivial trick." Li Zhōujūn snorted through his nose, his palm suddenly exerting force. The golden Dharma seal shattered with a roar, turning into a sky full of spiritual debris.

As the golden Dharma seal was broken by Li Zhōujūn, Chu Rou's face turned pale, and she let out a muffled groan.

Li Zhōujūn slowly clasped his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Li Zhōujūn's hand, which had just crushed the golden Dharma seal, felt numb.

Although he could fight her to a draw, and Li Zhōujūn could easily block the Dharma seal, doing so would only make him appear to be on par with Chu Rou at best.

It was better to harm himself by five hundred to harm the enemy by five hundred.

At least he had the System to hide his aura, so others couldn't tell anything and would only think that his aura remained stable after easily breaking the seal.

This was what was called "swelling the face to look fat."

In fact, things unfolded just as Li Zhōujūn had guessed.

Seeing Li Zhōujūn break the Dharma seal with a calm expression and no fluctuation in his aura, the Mountain Lords exclaimed in surprise, "The Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord broke this Dharma seal without changing his expression. Could his strength have already reached the peak of the Tribulation Stage?"

"That's impossible, he's only forty years old. Could it be that our Dao Tian Sect is truly going to produce a True Immortal within a hundred years..."

"With such talent, if the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord ascends to the Immortal Realm in the future, he would probably become a True Disciple immediately..."

As the Mountain Lords discussed.

Chu Rou's face became extremely unsightly.

She never expected Li Zhōujūn's strength to be so formidable.

Just as she was about to make another move against Li Zhōujūn.

Elder Wu extended his hand and stopped Chu Rou.

"Elder Wu, why?" Chu Rou was stunned.

"Saintess, that's enough!" Elder Wu said coldly.

This was the first time Chu Rou had seen Elder Wu so serious, and she was so frightened that she froze.

After stopping Chu Rou, Elder Wu cupped his hands slightly towards Li Zhōujūn and said, "Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, I sincerely apologize. Our Saintess has been in seclusion since she was young and still has the temperament of a young girl. I hope the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord will not hold it against her. I offer my apologies to everyone from the Dao Tian Sect on her behalf."

With that, Elder Wu bowed to the people of the Dao Tian Sect.

Chu Rou stared blankly at this scene, her eyes filled with an unreadable emotion.

Li Zhōujūn waved his hand and chuckled, "Since the elder has said so, it would make me, Li Zhōujūn, seem petty if I were to dwell on it. However, since she has the temperament of a young girl, you should keep a close eye on your Saintess. If your Saintess is still not convinced, she can come find me, this Mountain Lord, again. But next time, this Mountain Lord won't be so understanding."

In truth, Li Zhōujūn wanted to kill Chu Rou and that old man right then and there, but his current strength was insufficient to do so.

After all, these two were Tribulation Stage cultivators and had the Immortal Palace backing them. They were bound to have life-saving means. Therefore, even if the Dao Tian Sect behind them wanted to kill them, they might not be able to capture them if they fled with all their might. It was better to play along for now.

"Thank you, Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, for your magnanimity." Elder Wu cupped his hands towards Li Zhōujūn. He breathed a slight sigh of relief. If the people of the Dao Tian Sect had insisted on fighting, he would have had to use forbidden techniques and risk his cultivation level dropping to escape with Chu Rou.

Then, he quickly left the place with Chu Rou, who was still in a daze.

"You, fellow, what is your cultivation realm? No matter who you face, you can fight them back and forth. Are you a Mahayana True Immortal?"

At this moment, Murong Xue stared intently at Li Zhōujūn and asked.

"To put it immodestly, even if an Immortal Emperor came, I could fight them back and forth," Li Zhōujūn grinned.

"Heh heh..." Murong Xue chuckled insincerely.

[Ding: Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!]

[Ding: The System is issuing a reward, 'Primordial Foundation Refining Pill!']

[Primordial Foundation Refining Pill]: Can help cultivators of higher realms temper their Dao Foundation, allowing them to advance their strength to the next level!

"This pill is quite suitable for me." Li Zhōujūn's eyes lit up upon seeing the System's reward.

To be honest, although the cultivation granted by the System's rewards was very pure, it had been coming too frequently one after another. He really needed to refine it properly.

"Alright, alright, the show is over. Everyone disperse." Mu Taiyu waved his hand, dispersing the various Mountain Lords as the matter had concluded.

Then, Mu Taiyu's gaze fixed tightly on Li Zhōujūn, saying, "Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, no matter what happens, I hope you remember that you are a part of the Dao Tian Sect."

"Don't worry, Sect Master. The Dao Tian Sect has treated me well. Although I was looked down upon in the past, those are all human sentiments. But one thing is one thing. The Dao Tian Sect still entrusted Cloud Dwelling Mountain to me, and all the cultivation resources were distributed as usual. I remember this kindness," Li Zhōujūn said with a grin.

"That's good," Mu Taiyu smiled. He then glanced at the Nine Dragon Chariot beneath Li Zhōujūn's feet, a hint of envy in his eyes. "Your Nine Dragon Chariot is quite eye-catching."

"It's just so-so," Li Zhōujūn grinned.

"This is not ordinary," Mu Taiyu sighed with emotion, then said, "You and Mountain Lord Murong have had a long journey. Go back and rest well."

After saying this, Mu Taiyu also left.

After the Mountain Lords departed.

Li Zhōujūn couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I never expected the Dao Tian Sect to be so united at a critical moment. No wonder they can be called the number one sect in Qingzhou. But it makes sense. If the Dao Tian Sect were like other sects, I wouldn't have become the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, nor would I have lived to see the System appear."

"Li Zhōujūn, it's been a while since I left Lingxue Mountain, and it's time I went back to take a look." Murong Xue said her farewells to Li Zhōujūn at this moment.

Li Zhōujūn glanced at her and asked in surprise, "Going by what you said, you want to come back to Yunju Mountain with me? It's not impossible, you know."

"Pfft!" Murong Xue spat, then turned and vanished.

For an Integration Stage expert, tearing through the void was quite easy.

However, Li Zhōujūn didn't notice the hint of sorrow on Murong Xue's face as she turned to leave.

"Master, it looks like I'm really going to have another Mistress!" Sū Nán exclaimed at this moment.

"Cultivate properly." Without another word, Li Zhōujūn flicked Sū Nán's forehead.

"Ouch!" Caught off guard, Sū Nán cried out in pain.

Li Zhōujūn smiled slightly, then mounted the Nine Dragon Chariot and flew from above the mountain gate towards Yunju Mountain.

"Nine Dragon Wind Riding Chariot, Green Shirt Free and Easy Robe. If you ask who it is, it's the immortal of Yunju Mountain!"

Disciples of the Dao Tian Sect looked up at the sky-obscuring Nine Dragon figures above, and someone murmured to themselves.

Soon, this saying, accompanied by the story of Li Zhōujūn's single strike that annihilated an Integration Stage demonic cultivator, spread throughout Qingzhou.

The title of the Yunju Mountain Lord of the Dao Tian Sect also became renowned throughout Qingzhou.

The scene shifted.

Li Zhōujūn had already returned to Yunju Mountain with Sū Nán.

"You all go and stay in the lake."

After dismounting the Nine Dragon Chariot with Sū Nán, Li Zhōujūn instructed the nine Void Immortal level dragons.

The nine dragons bowed to Li Zhōujūn, then soared into the air and flew towards the lake on Yunju Mountain.

"Alright, you can go back and rest too. Tomorrow, I'll personally teach you the Azure Frost Sword Art," Li Zhōujūn said to Sū Nán with a smile after the dragons had left.

"Okay! Thank you, Master!" Sū Nán replied excitedly.

Li Zhōujūn chuckled lightly, hands clasped behind his back, and walked into Cloud Dwelling Hall.
