I finally reached Foundation Establishment!
And I'd awakened the memories of my past life! I'd remembered the Dao De Jing and Free and Easy Wandering!
Lu Li sensed the golden words in his mind, his heart surging with excitement.
"Lu Li, congratulations."
At that moment, Lady Red Furnace smiled warmly beside him and offered her congratulations.
"Thank you, True Lord, for protecting me!"
Suppressing his joy, Lu Li rose to his feet, bowed with clasped hands, and thanked her with heartfelt gratitude.
If not for Lady Red Furnace, he would probably have sunk into the first illusion, his consciousness dying completely and leaving behind nothing but an empty shell.
"There's no need to thank me."
Lady Red Furnace waved her hand and smiled. "I only gave you a hand at the beginning. You overcame all the illusions that followed on your own. Your willpower is truly astonishing."
Her beautiful eyes brimmed with admiration.
Those who practiced demonic arts were plagued by countless desires and rampant inner demons. When they broke through, they inevitably needed a magic treasure to steady their minds.
But Lu Li had nothing at all. He had passed the trial of illusions through sheer force of will alone. That showed how resolute his character was and how pure his heart.
He really was a righteous cultivator!
"True Lord, if you hadn't been channeling your true qi into me every day, I could never have reached Foundation Establishment so quickly! And if you hadn't guided my cultivation and protected me, I couldn't have succeeded either! You didn't just give me a hand—you gave me several! So, may I ask your honored name?"
Lu Li bowed solemnly.
"Hm?"
Hearing this, Lady Red Furnace paused, then smiled. "My surname is Yun, and my given name is Zhusheng."
"Yun Zhusheng? Good!
