Completing the Mission, the Pillar Reaching Heaven Falls

[There's more than one Foundation Establishment stage Evil Cultivator in the palace. You only observed one a few days ago.]

[At this moment, you want to retreat carefully, hoping not to be discovered.]

[But the newly appeared Foundation Establishment stage Evil Cultivator has unusually keen senses.]

[Before you could retreat, he discovered you.]

[He unleashed a black banner, and instantly, the area was filled with a chilling wind, as if the palace had transformed into his domain.]

[You had to carefully discern your surroundings just to tell which way was which.]

[You know that you absolutely cannot retreat now. Otherwise, the time it takes to discern your direction would be enough for the opponent to kill you.]

[Now, you can only fight!]

[With a raise of your hand, nine sword lights flashed in succession, transforming into the nine Limit-Breaking Sword Techniques you cultivated in the Qi Refining Realm.]

[Although they are not Tier 2 spells, as Tier 1 sword techniques of the Limit-Breaking caliber, they have birthed their own Spell Seeds, each with a power close to a perfected Tier 2 spell.]

[Furthermore, your nine Limit-Breaking Sword Techniques are interconnected, and when combined, they are comparable to a perfected Tier 2 spell.]

[Coupled with your breakthrough to perfected Foundation Establishment from a deep foundation of Qi Refining Layer 12, even though you are only at Foundation Establishment Layer 1, your Magical Power is as abundant as that of Foundation Establishment Layer 4.]

[You now possess the peak combat power of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.]

[With a single sword strike, you tore through the defensive spells set up by the Black Sail Evil Cultivator.]

[The Black Sail Evil Cultivator was also greatly astonished by your strength. He quickly took out a small shield-shaped High-grade Magic Tool, which then blocked your attack.]

[At this moment, the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Evil Cultivator you initially intended to kill also made his move. A black and red High-grade Blood Sin Magic Blade flew out from his mouth, striking directly at you.]

[As he attacked, his aura was fully revealed. He was not Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but Foundation Establishment Late Stage.]

[Judging by the stability of his aura, he was not Foundation Establishment Layer 7, but at least Layer 8, or even Layer 9.]

[The Black Sail Evil Cultivator who appeared first also possessed Foundation Establishment Late Stage strength.]

[Under their combined assault, you seemed to have fallen into a certain death situation.]

[But you still have trump cards. Please choose your course of action.]

[1. Use the Tier 3 Talisman Treasure given to you by your master to break the Black Sail Magic Tool's influence and escape this place.]

[2. Use the Talisman Treasure to kill the Black Sail Evil Cultivator and escape this place.]

[3. Use the Talisman Treasure to kill the other Evil Cultivator and fight the Black Sail Evil Cultivator to the death.]

"Of these three options, I choose three."

Su Yang said, his gaze sharpening.

[Facing such a perilous situation, you not only don't want to escape, but you want to kill them all.]

[You activated the Tier 3 Talisman Treasure, unleashing a terrifying power comparable to the full might of a Golden Core True Person. Instantly, the body of the strongest Evil Cultivator wielding the blade shattered into dust, becoming part of the world. Even the High-grade Blood Sin Magic Blade was reduced to fragments.]

[The Black Sail Evil Cultivator was clearly startled, and his movements slowed by a fraction.]

[You seized the opportunity and used your Foundation Establishment Strength.]

[The Magical Power equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator appeared within your body, perfectly merging with your existing Magical Power.]

[Instantly, your Magical Power became richer and more powerful than before. In terms of Magical Power alone, you could now rival an ordinary Foundation Establishment Layer 6 cultivator.]

[Combined with your swordsmanship, you now possess Foundation Establishment Late Stage combat power.]

[The Black Sail Evil Cultivator, caught off guard, had his defensive small shield immediately broken, and a sword pierced his brow.]

[You have won.]

[Afterward, you immediately collected your spoils of war and swiftly departed from the palace.]

[You began killing any Qi Refining stage Evil Cultivators you encountered, simultaneously using your Magical Power to broadcast the news of the Foundation Establishment stage Evil Cultivators' deaths.]

[Upon hearing this, the Qi Refining stage Evil Cultivators fell into panic.]

[The remaining cultivators of the Eastern Neighboring Kingdom, upon hearing this news, immediately rose up in resistance.]

[Before long, the Qi Refining stage Evil Cultivators in the capital were completely wiped out.]

[You spent nearly another month helping the Eastern Neighboring Kingdom eliminate the Evil Cultivators in other regions before finally leaving.]

[At this point, less than 5 months had passed since you left your sect. According to the sect's rules, you still needed 4 years and 7 months before you could return.]

[You began to travel extensively.]

[This is the central plains region of Qixia Island, where human influence is considered paramount. Yao Beasts are almost never seen in the wild, except for those being raised.]

[All extraordinary beings here are humans!]

[Nearly 5 years passed quickly. During this time, you played the role of an elder bestowing opportunities upon youths, acted like a chivalrous young hero clearing out wicked places, and even walked through mortal counties, your extraordinary aura attracting the admiration of young ladies and married women.]

[Your state of mind improved, and you felt your Clear Sword Heart become even more lucid.]

[At 50 years old, upon returning to the Tianjian Sect, you immediately went back to your residence. When you reappeared, your cultivation had already broken through to Foundation Establishment Layer 3.]

[Gu Changfeng saw this and knew that you had truly been on a journey, not like some True Disciples who, after completing a mission, would find a place with abundant spiritual energy to cultivate until the five years were up and then return to the sect.]

[You began cultivating Tier 2 spells. This time, they were not all sword techniques; three of them were body-refining arts that strengthened the body's origin.]

Foundation Establishment is unlike Qi Cultivation, which has ten, eleven, or twelve layers. To achieve a high-quality Golden Core, one must continuously strengthen their foundation and origin.

At 52 years old, many of your second-tier sword arts have reached introductory level, but the progress of your origin body-refining techniques is not fast. You've encountered several difficulties and were about to seek guidance from Gu Changfeng when suddenly, the sky darkened.

Outside the simulation, a painting gradually unfurled before Su Yang.

"Why is there a picture again? Is something important that affects me happening?"

Su Yang stared intently at the emerging image.

He saw a small black dot appear in the sky, which then rapidly grew larger, becoming boundless, as if it had enveloped the entire sky.

Then, it descended.

The scope of the image suddenly expanded.

The small black dot gradually revealed its full form: the base of a curved Pillar Reaching Heaven, descending downwards.

Its position was precisely over a small portion of Qijian Lake, centered on Tianjian Island.

"What kind of Yao dares to offend my Tianjian Sect!"

In the image, an elder with pure white hair and beard let out a sky-shattering roar. He flew up from Sun Sword Peak, holding the great sun atop the peak and smashing it upwards.

Terrifying energy erupted, and the great sun was instantly annihilated, but it couldn't shake the Pillar Reaching Heaven in the slightest.

On the other three peaks, terrifying powerhouses comparable to the elder appeared, unleashing various techniques no less potent than the great sun's explosion.

But all were in vain.

They wanted to leave.

But they couldn't.

They could only watch as the Pillar Reaching Heaven descended. Because the moment the Pillar Reaching Heaven fell, this entire void was suppressed.

"RUMBLE!!!"

A massive sound emerged from the image.

The Pillar Reaching Heaven still fell, but it soon retracted and disappeared.

At this point, in the image, Tianjian Island and the Tianjian Sect had completely vanished, leaving only the surging lake water pouring madly towards the center.
