Primordial Foundation Refining Pill

"Impossible?!"

Chu Rou was stunned when she saw Li Zhōujūn catch her attack with ease, her eyes filled with disbelief.

But then Chu Rou let out a delicate shout, and the golden Dharma Seal in Li Zhōujūn's hand shone even more brightly.

This made Li Zhōujūn feel as though he were holding a massive mountain in his hand.

"Such a trifling trick." Li Zhōujūn snorted through his nose. He suddenly exerted force with his palm, and the golden Dharma Seal shattered with a boom, transforming into a sky full of spiritual fragments.

When Li Zhōujūn destroyed the golden Dharma Seal, Chu Rou's face paled, and she let out a muffled groan.

Li Zhōujūn slowly moved his hand behind his back and clenched it.

At that moment, Li Zhōujūn's palm was numb from crushing the golden Dharma Seal with one hand.

Although he could go fifty-fifty with her and easily catch the Dharma Seal, doing so would make it appear that he was merely evenly matched with Chu Rou.

It was better to injure himself by five hundred to injure his enemy by five hundred.

At least he had the system concealing his aura. No one could see anything unusual; they would only think that after easily destroying the Dharma Seal, his aura remained perfectly steady.

In other words, he was putting on a fat face with swollen cheeks.

The truth was exactly as Li Zhōujūn had guessed.

Seeing that Li Zhōujūn's expression remained unchanged after destroying the Dharma Seal and that his aura had not fluctuated in the slightest, the various mountain lords exclaimed in shock, "The Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord destroyed that Dharma Seal without changing expression. Could it be that his strength has already reached the pinnacle of the Tribulation Transcendence realm?"

"That can't be, can it? He's only forty years old. Could our Dao Tian Sect truly be about to give birth to a hundred-year-old True Immortal...?"

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

As the various mountain lords discussed among themselves,

Chu Rou's expression grew unbearably ugly.

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

Just as she was about to attack Li Zhōujūn again,

Elder Wu stretched out his hand and stopped Chu Rou.

"Elder Wu, why?" Chu Rou asked, startled.

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

It was the first time Chu Rou had seen Elder Wu so stern, and she was frightened into stunned silence.

After silencing Chu Rou, Elder Wu cupped his hands slightly toward Li Zhōujūn and said, "Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, I sincerely apologize. Our Saintess has been in secluded cultivation since she was young. Even now, she still has the temperament of a little girl. I hope the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord will be magnanimous and not quibble with our Saintess. This old man apologizes to everyone from the Dao Tian Sect here."

After saying that, Elder Wu directly bowed to everyone from the Dao Tian Sect.

Chu Rou stared blankly at the scene, unable to tell what she was thinking.

Li Zhōujūn waved his hand and chuckled. "Since this old senior has put it that way, continuing to hold a grudge would make me, Li Zhōujūn, seem petty. However, since she has the temperament of a little girl, this old senior should keep a close eye on your Saintess. If your Saintess is dissatisfied, she may come find me again. But next time, I won't be quite so easygoing."

In truth, Li Zhōujūn had wanted to kill Chu Rou and the old man on the spot, but his current strength was insufficient. He simply could not kill them.

After all, the two of them were Tribulation Transcendence cultivators backed by the Immortal Palace. It was impossible for them not to possess life-saving methods. Even if the Dao Tian Sect behind him tried to kill them, they might not be able to capture the pair if they fled with all their might. It was better to feign civility for now.

"Thank you for sparing us, Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord." Elder Wu cupped his hands toward Li Zhōujūn. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the people of the Dao Tian Sect had insisted on attacking, he could only have used a Forbidden Technique and risked his realm falling to take Chu Rou away from this place.

He then took the still-dazed Chu Rou and quickly left.

"You fellow, what realm is your cultivation actually in? No matter who you face, you always fight them evenly. Could you be a Mahayana True Immortal?"

At that moment, Murong Xue stared seriously at Li Zhōujūn as she asked.

"To put it modestly, even if an Immortal Emperor came, I could still fight him evenly." Li Zhōujūn grinned.

"Heh..." Murong Xue smiled without any real amusement.

[Ding: Congratulations, host, on completing the mission!]

[Ding: The system is issuing the reward, 'Primordial Foundation Refining Pill!']

[Primordial Foundation Refining Pill]: It can help high-realm cultivators temper their foundations, allowing their strength to rise another level!

"This pill is actually quite suitable for me." Li Zhōujūn's eyes lit up when he saw the system's reward.

To be honest, although the cultivation rewarded by the system was extremely pure, it had come in wave after wave, and he truly needed to properly temper it.

"All right, all right. The show is over, so disperse." Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Mu Taiyu waved his hand and dismissed the various mountain lords.

Then Mu Taiyu fixed his eyes on Li Zhōujūn and said, "Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, no matter what happens, I hope you remember that you are a part of the Dao Tian Sect."

"Rest assured, Sect Master. The Dao Tian Sect has treated me well. Although I was once looked down upon, that is only human nature. But one matter is one matter—the Dao Tian Sect still handed Yunju Mountain over to me, and all kinds of cultivation resources have been distributed in full. I remember this kindness." Li Zhōujūn grinned.

"That's good." Mu Taiyu smiled. Then he glanced at the Nine Dragon Chariot beneath Li Zhōujūn's feet, a trace of envy appearing in his eyes. "Your Nine Dragon Chariot certainly attracts attention."

"It's nothing special." Li Zhōujūn grinned.

"This is far from ordinary." Mu Taiyu sighed, then said, "You and the Murong Mountain Lord have traveled a long way. Go back and get some proper rest."

After giving his instructions, Mu Taiyu also left.

After the various mountain lords departed,

Li Zhōujūn sighed inwardly. "I didn't expect the Dao Tian Sect to be able to unite so tightly at a critical moment. No wonder it can be called the number-one sect in the Azure Continent. But then again, if the Dao Tian Sect were like the other sects, I couldn't have become the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, and I wouldn't have lived until the system appeared."

"Li Zhōujūn, I've been away from Lingxue Mountain for some time. It's time I went back to take a look." Murong Xue bid Li Zhōujūn farewell.

Li Zhōujūn glanced at her in surprise. "From the sound of that, you want to return to Yunju Mountain with me? It's not impossible."

"Bah!" Murong Xue spat and vanished as she turned around.

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

However, Li Zhōujūn failed to notice that when Murong Xue turned to leave, a trace of worry had appeared on her face.

"Master, it looks like I'm really going to get another mistress!" Sū Nán sighed at that moment.

"Focus on your cultivation." Without another word, Li Zhōujūn flicked Sū Nán on the forehead.

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

Li Zhōujūn smiled faintly, then piloted the Nine Dragon Chariot from above the mountain gate toward Yunju Mountain.

"Riding the wind in the Nine Dragon Chariot, wearing the Green Shirt Free and Easy Robe—if you ask who the man is, he is the Esteemed Immortal of Yunju Mountain!"

The disciples within the Dao Tian Sect looked up at the sky-shrouding silhouettes of the nine Flood Dragons. Some of them murmured to themselves.

Before long, a few days later, these words spread across the length and breadth of the Azure Continent alongside the story of Li Zhōujūn killing an Integration Stage demonic cultivator with one strike.

The title of the Dao Tian Sect's Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord also shook the Azure Continent.

The scene shifted.

Li Zhōujūn had already brought Sū Nán back to Yunju Mountain.

"You nine can stay in the lake."

After dismounting from the Nine Dragon Chariot with Sū Nán, Li Zhōujūn instructed the nine Void Immortal Stage Flood Dragons.

The nine Flood Dragons bowed to Li Zhōujūn, then rose into the air and flew toward the lake on Yunju Mountain.

"All right, you should go back and rest too. Tomorrow, your master will personally teach you the Azure Frost Sword Art." After the nine Flood Dragons left, Li Zhōujūn looked at Sū Nán with a smile.

"All right! Thank you, Master!" Sū Nán said excitedly.

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