Two streams of energy landed one after the other at the edge of this icy plain.

The woman in front wore a long blue and white robe, her face was aloof, and a faint blue light flowed around her.

The person beside her had a mark on his forehead, and his body was filled with spiritual energy.

These two were none other than Candleflame Star and Yu Jiangwei, powerful Candleflame Star who had projected themselves here together.

Especially that woman, who was none other than Qing Yuechan, ranked twelfth on the Immortal Ranking.

At this moment, spiritual energy flowed around the two of them, and they also exuded an extraordinary aura.

Not far behind the two, there was another person, a young woman.

The woman was none other than Lin Longyue.

She looked much more haggard than when she was at the Baosu Marquis Residence, but her face still held a resilient quality that had been honed through hardship.

She stood at the edge of the icy plain, looking at the still-lingering snow and wind, her eyes filled with surprise.

"These two immortals in the clouds are truly extraordinary." Lin Longyue pondered this thought to herself not long after embarking on her cultivation journey.

Qing Yuechan raised his head and looked into the Void.

Thunder roared there, and snow howled.

The surrounding clouds had already gathered within it, and there was also a disturbance of spiritual energy within, obscuring the Divine Sense's probing.

The man also looked at the land of thunder and snow, then suddenly turned to Qing Yuechan: "I wonder who is fighting with that Ou Ningzi? Judging from this profound and mysterious supernatural Divine Ability of thunder and lightning, perhaps it comes from the Thunder Pool?"

Qing Yuechan raised an eyebrow slightly, refraining from using his Divine Ability powers to forcefully penetrate the numerous thunderous clouds and investigate the battle between the powerful figures within, so as not to disturb the two experts who were engaged in a fierce battle.

"As far as I, Candleflame Star, am concerned, both the Thunder Pool and the Southern Heaven Domain within this Cave Heaven are enemies vying with us for the Immortal Husk."

In that case, that person's identity is actually not very important; we just need to wait for them to determine the winner."

The man with the shimmering mark on his forehead slowly nodded.

"When two such powerful individuals clash, a victor will inevitably emerge, and both will suffer injuries. This is indeed a good opportunity for both of us."

The three of them waited silently in the snowy plain.

A transparent aura of concealment was slowly circulating around the three of them, obscuring their movements; it was likely a projection of a treasure.

The group waited there until a quarter of an hour had quietly passed.

Suddenly, the wind and snow that had been fighting against the thunder suddenly weakened considerably.

Qing Yuechan seemed to sense something, and when he looked up, he saw a figure descending from the clouds shrouded in thunder.

It was a giant, its body covered in ice and snow, within which flowed wondrous Divine Ability power, like the ever-surging tide.

"Ou Ningzi's Cold Mirror God Great Divine Ability... is indeed powerful."

"But he seems to be..."

Before Qing Yuechan could finish his thoughts, he saw the ice crystals on the giant's body suddenly covered with countless cracks, and then shattered, turning into a snowstorm that fluttered down.

Within the ice crystal, Ou Ningzi, who looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, was severely injured, with a hole piercing through his brow, and was barely breathing.

This avatar is also about to dissipate!

Qing Yuechan's pupils contracted slightly. He looked up at the lightning bolt, only to see that it was still as bright and dazzling as the sun at its zenith, terrifying to the extreme!

"What kind of great divine Divine Ability is this? Its power is so strong, and... the spiritual energy flows within it, but it has not transformed into Dao Origin, which means that this person has not yet stepped into the Dao Foundation Realm!"

"Among the Qi Circulation Realm cultivators, there is actually someone who can easily defeat Ou Ningzi!"

Qing Yuechan took a deep breath.

What surprised her even more was that the great Divine Ability power emanating from this person showed no signs of weakening and remained at its peak!

The man standing to the side Candleflame Star, also showed surprise in his eyes. He turned to look at Qing Yuechan.

" Among the Nine-Towers Land of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, the Xuan Sect with the most formidable Killing Power is Thunder Pool."

"Many talented people emerge from Thunder Pool, so it's not surprising that someone could defeat Ou Ningzi. But to defeat Ou Ningzi unscathed is truly astonishing."

Lin Longyue silently repeated those two words in her heart.

Thunder Pool...

"The cultivators of the Xuanmen sect are indeed extraordinary," Lin Longyue thought to herself.

At that moment, Ou Ningzi's figure, which had fallen onto the icy plain, began to dissipate.

But within the thunder, a beam of light flashed and rose straight into the sky.

The three, Candleflame Star, seemed to sense something and looked up at the Immortal Ranking in the sky.

Purple qi swirled above the Immortal Ranking, emanating a profound Daoist aura!

A mysterious aura flowed slowly over it, and names and inscriptions shone brightly.

At this moment, purple qi rose from the Immortal Ranking and landed directly on the names on the Immortal Ranking...

That name was none other than Ou Ningzi!

But then, Ou Ningzi's name shattered like glass, piece by piece.

At this moment, many cultivators, including those from Candleflame Star Weiji Grotto-Heaven, all looked up at the Immortal Ranking in the sky.

"Who exactly is the cultivator from which sect defeated Ou Ningzi?" Candleflame Star, the male cultivator, murmured to himself, his eyes burning with intensity.

The purple qi grew even denser, settling on the spot where Ou Ningzi's name originally stood on the Immortal Ranking.

Rumble!

A loud bang rang out as the purple qi collided with the Immortal Ranking, etching a name onto the spot!

[ In the Weiji Grotto-Heaven, Chen Lingxi!]

Qing Yuechan suddenly took a deep breath.

The male cultivator, however, continued to gaze at the Immortal Ranking in the Void, carefully observing the name of the eleventh person on the Immortal Ranking!

A few moments passed quietly.

He suddenly exclaimed, "Chen Lingxi? Is that the person who killed the Daoist Fire Tuo in Nanche Province that day?"

"He was a local, and at that time he had not yet formed his Dao Platform... It's only been a year, how could he have cultivated great Divine Ability and even defeated Ou Ningzi?"

Qing Yuechan was also greatly puzzled!

Ou Ningzi, an incarnation of the Southern Heaven Domain, is ranked eleventh on the Immortal Ranking. He cultivates the Cold Mirror God Great Divine Ability, whose extreme cold power is enough to freeze all things.

Even among all the projected avatars within the Weiji Grotto-Heaven, Ou Ningzi's combat strength is definitely top-notch.

But he actually lost.

Lin Longyue was still somewhat stunned.

"Thunder Pool Chi Guixiu... is it Chen Lingxi?"

But then she saw the four characters "Weiji Grotto-Heaven" before Chen Lingxi's name, and immediately realized what was going on. Her pupils narrowed slightly, and she was somewhat at a loss.

At this moment, the lightning gradually subsided.

Qing Yuechan raised his head, his gaze piercing through the surging wind and snow, landing on the figure surrounded by lightning deep in the icy plain.

The figure within the lightning was slowly receding, gradually fading from its original blazing intensity, like a blazing sun, into silence.

At that very moment, amidst the countless bolts of lightning, the figure finally revealed itself completely.

Chen Lingxi stood on the devastated ice field, the pale golden lightning around her slowly receding into her body.

His black robes were covered with ice shards and dust, but his expression remained unchanged, as if the battle just now had not been too difficult for him.

The composure and tranquility emanating from his deep eyes commanded respect and prevented anyone from underestimating him.

He simply stood there, like a sharp sword yet to be sheathed.

At this moment, amidst the swirling aura of the Immortal Ranking in the sky, Chen Lingxi's name hung steadily on the Immortal Ranking like a star.

Eleventh place.

Qing Yuechan took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.

Ou Ningzi is almost on par with him; in terms of combat strength, the two are roughly equal.

Even Ou Ningzi died at this man's hands; if it were me, I'm afraid I would also be unable to escape defeat.

"This person has profound foundations, and his spiritual energy is still very abundant, seemingly without any deficiency! If I rashly make a move, I'm afraid this avatar will also perish in Chen Lingxi."

Qing Yuechan muttered to himself, then secretly rejoiced. "Fortunately, the Concealment Pearl is here. This is Chen Lingxi; he shouldn't have noticed us."

But...

Her thoughts had barely settled when she saw lightning crackling in Chen Lingxi's eyes as he turned to look at the group!

The terrifying power of thunder contained in those eyes was like two tangible swords piercing through the wind and snow, directly striking the Candleflame Star and the other two!

In an instant!

The pressure contained in those eyes was too immense and too domineering, as if countless bolts of lightning were surging and roaring within them.

Qing Yuechan felt his spiritual energy suddenly stagnate under that gaze, and its circulation became extremely sluggish.

"Hmm? The Concealment Pearl was seen through?" Qing Yuechan was greatly surprised. "This person has not reached the Dao Foundation Realm, nor has he cultivated the Falsehood-Piercing Great Divine Ability. Could it be that he has cultivated the Mystic Realm Profound-Observation Method?"

But at this moment, she couldn't afford to ponder why Chen Lingxi could see through the projected Spirit Artifact.

"If this person attacks us, we will surely not escape this calamity!"

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have had the idea of being the cicada that pounces on the stalker."

Qing Yuechan thought to himself.

Candleflame Star's cultivation place is not far from here. She had originally heard about the great battle here and thought she could take advantage of the situation when both sides were exhausted. However, she did not expect that Chen Lingxi would win so decisively.

The male cultivator noticed Chen Lingxi's gaze and subconsciously took a half-step back.

They all had spiritual energy flowing around them, and their expressions were solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Lin Longyue immediately understood...

These two noble figures, who were almost omnipotent in her eyes, seemed to be afraid of the figure in the thunder.

"General..." Lin Longyue murmured to herself.

At that moment, Chen Lingxi in the Void looked at Lin Longyue beside the two of them.

That glance landed on Lin Longyue, but it was much gentler than when he had looked at Qing Yuechan and the other person.

The lightning surging in those eyes subsided slightly, and the solemnity in their gaze also faded somewhat.

Lin Longyue met that gaze, and her heart involuntarily trembled slightly.

General.

A government slave in the Baosu Marquis Residence.

Now, however, he is the eleventh immortal on the Immortal Ranking.

"I'm getting further and further away from the general."

She was feeling down.

Chen Lingxi glanced at her, then looked away, and lightning began to flash beneath his feet.

The azure clouds, interspersed with pale golden lightning, gathered beneath his feet, lifting him into the sky and transforming into a dazzling rainbow of lightning that sped away into the distance.

He ultimately did not attack them.

He stepped on lightning and soared into the sky!

Qing Yuechan watched the lightning bolt recede into the distance and finally let out a long breath.

Lin Longyue, however, became increasingly depressed.

As Chen Lingxi soared through the clouds, he sensed the spiritual energy of the Immortal Ranking hidden within his Dao Platform.

As the number of powerful individuals in the Cave Heaven increased, they grew stronger and stronger.

The spiritual energy contained in the Immortal Ranking is becoming increasingly profound. Chen Lingxi once obtained the spiritual energy of the fourteenth place on the Immortal Ranking, but the spiritual energy contained in the current fourteenth Immortal Ranking is probably even more profound.

Today, Chen Lingxi defeated Ou Ningzi and obtained the eleventh spiritual opportunity on the Immortal Ranking!

The tenth place on the Immortal Ranking is Dao Foundation Realm cultivator.

This spiritual energy was incredibly dense, and even though it only pulsed within Chen Lingxi's Dao Platform, Chen Lingxi could still sense the profound power contained within it.

"Find a place as soon as possible to refine the spiritual energy and implant the Profound Root into the Dao Embryo!"

Chen Lingxi immediately found a desolate mountain.

The desolate mountain was not high, but it was extremely remote, with no human habitation for hundreds of miles around.

He found a natural cave halfway up the mountain and set up several Concealed Edge Method and hidden restrictions outside the cave before sitting cross-legged and extracting the immense spiritual energy of the eleventh- Immortal Ranking immortal from the Dao Platform.

The spiritual energy hovered in front of him, radiating an extremely gentle and bright light.

"No wonder so many powerful figures are vying for a place on the Immortal Ranking," Chen Lingxi muttered to herself, her eyes filled with delight.

Without further hesitation, he immediately closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to refine the spiritual energy Dragon-Stripping Dao-Transformation One-Qi True Formula.

The instant the inspiration entered his body, the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform began to spin wildly, as if parched land had received timely rain.

The boundless spiritual energy contained within that spiritual energy surged into the Dao Platform. After being tempered by the Thunder Profound Root, it transformed into strands of extremely pure Dao Origin, converging towards the root of the Profound Root.

The Dao Platform Root-Seeding...

This final step is to allow the Profound Root to take root completely within the Dao Platform, so that the Dao Platform and the Profound Root can become one, nourishing and strengthening each other.

Chen Lingxi focused all his attention on the Dao Platform, using the spiritual energy from the Immortal Ranking as fuel, and pressed the Thunder Thunder-Prison Profound Root by inch deeper into the Chao Dao Platform.

This process was extremely slow, yet extremely smooth!

Nourished by the profound spiritual energy of the Immortal Ranking, the barriers between the Profound Root and the Dao Platform were smoothed out layer by layer, and the fusion between the two became a natural outcome.

After an unknown amount of time, the roots of the Thunder Profound Root finally penetrated completely into the deepest part of the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform.

At that very moment, Chen Lingxi's entire body suddenly trembled.

He felt his Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform and Thunder-Prison Profound Root resonating wildly at this moment. The lightning on the Profound Root and the azure light on the Dao Platform merged together, transforming into a dazzling chaotic light that illuminated the entire Dao Platform with blinding brilliance.

Under the illumination of this light, the Long River of spiritual energy in the Qi Sea began to transform at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally azure spiritual energy began to emanate a layer of pale golden light from its edges. The light grew brighter and brighter, spreading like a tide across the entire Long River.

This is a sign that spiritual energy is transforming into Dao Origin.

Chen Lingxi closed his eyes tightly and used all his strength to circulate the Dragon-Stripping True Technique, refining the last trace of spiritual energy contained in the Immortal Ranking's spiritual energy into the Dao Platform.

That Thunder Thunder-Prison Profound Root was like a greedy glutton, devouring, refining, and transforming all the incoming spiritual energy into Dao Origin, which then nourished the transforming Long River.

Time quietly slipped away in this silent yet resolute transformation.

Several days passed quietly.

When Chen Lingxi opened his eyes again, the aura around him was completely different from before his seclusion.

The Long River in his Qi Sea, originally formed by spiritual energy, has now completely transformed into a Long River of Dao Origin.

That Dao Origin Long River was only about ten feet wide, but it was many times more turbid and murky than the previous Long River Spiritual Qi.

Each drop of Dao Origin shone brightly like molten gold, radiating an extremely profound and domineering mysterious fluctuation.

On the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform, the Thunder and Profound Root had taken root completely, with lush branches and leaves, and flowing lightning.

The Dao Platform and the Profound Root are no longer in opposition to each other, but rather complement each other.

With each breath Chen Lingxi took, an extremely pure wisp of thunderous Daoist energy emanated from him, flowing through his meridians and refining his physical body and Dao Origin.

His spiritual energy transformed into a dense Dao Origin!

He finally achieved the Dao Foundation Realm!

Chen Lingxi slowly stood up, surrounded by lightning.

From a dying medicine slave to someone who has now cultivated to the point of establishing Dao Foundation Realm, he has experienced countless hardships and dangers, and faced life-or-death situations countless times.

But now, he has finally taken this crucial step.

"The Dao Foundation Realm is complete," Chen Lingxi murmured to himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed joy.

Dao Foundation Realm!

Completed!
