The Dao Foundations of the Great Xuan Zhuo Realm-Why Are They All So Weak?

As the clouds dispersed, the Dao Origin of the two powerful beings stretched across the Void, flowing like two mighty rivers, their power astonishing.

They stood atop a Heavenly Boat, gazing at Chen Lingxi from afar.

Behind the two, eighteen disciples, each holding a flag, stood in a large formation, looking down at Chen Lingxi with predatory eyes.

At this moment, Chen Lingxi stood on the Bamboo Mountain, with the stolen goods still resting on the Heaven-Seizing Seal beside him.

The two powerful figures stood with their hands behind their backs, watching Chen Lingxi from afar, their eyes filled with murderous intent intent.

"Fellow Daoist, you are wasting such a precious resource."

In another hundred years, this Green Bamboo will grow into the Fengluo Bamboo Fengluo Bamboo. At that time, if there fortuitous opportunity, it can be refined into a third-grade Spirit Artifact!

How precious are third-grade Spirit Artifact?

Even many Dao Foundation Middle Stage Establishment cultivators don't possess one.

Of the two powerful figures, the older one spoke.

This man had a calm gaze that concealed murderous intent. His face was aged, and he leaned on a bamboo cane, his body hunched over, as if carrying a heavy burden on his back.

The figure beside the old man, however, was quite young, appearing to be only in his early thirties, yet possessed an extremely profound aura and exuded murderous intent.

It is highly likely that he is a person who cultivates Divine Ability Killing Power.

At this moment, the two stood on the Heavenly Boat, watching Chen Lingxi from afar, without making a move immediately.

"Those who have cultivated to the Dao Foundation Realm are naturally not fools who come here to seek death."

Now that you have come to the Dragon-Offering Sect, you should know that all the mountains and hills, all the rivers and streams, and even every blade of grass and tree in this Great World already have an owner.

If that's the case...

Why would you, fellow Daoist, act so rudely?

"Don't you know... among the Dragon-Offering Sect, any grudges must be settled with life or death!"

That year, the old cultivator spoke softly, his gaze growing ever sharper.

The clouds in the surrounding Void seemed to be under heavy pressure and remained still.

At the same time, the array flags held by the eighteen Qi Circulation Realm cultivators behind the two powerful figures suddenly fluttered and then burst into flames.

This flame was no ordinary fire; it seemed capable of scorching everything, and it appeared to possess Divine Ability powers, making it truly extraordinary.

Chen Lingxi finally raised his eyes, looking at the celestial Heavenly Boat and the two powerful figures.

The next instant, he suddenly asked, "I wonder if you two are from Yellow Luminary Peak?"

This person came specifically for Yellow Luminary Peak.

The two elders immediately gleaned crucial information from Chen Lingxi's few words.

That year, the old cultivator nodded slightly and said, "This is the territory of Yellow Luminary Peak. Fellow Daoist... you have crossed the line... These precious Green Bamboo exhausted the spiritual power of many Spirit Vein of Yellow Luminary Peak, but you destroyed them."

This matter... needs us to give an explanation..."

The old monk had not yet finished speaking.

Chen Lingxi around and then interrupted the old cultivator, asking, "I've heard that Yellow Radiance Peak Master Zhuo Jiaowu Na is a figure who has ascended to the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking and has already cultivated the Profound Root Wondrous Fruit. Perhaps soon he will achieve his second great Divine Ability and reach the Dao Foundation Middle Stage."

But where is the Peak Master?

The elderly monk had not yet spoken.

The young Dao Foundation Realm slightly raised his head, a smug glint in his eyes. "Knowing the name of my sect leader, you still dare to be so presumptuous at my Yellow Luminary Peak?"

Lightning flashed in Chen Lingxi's eyes, then she shook her head. "I'm afraid that if I kill you, your sect leader will flee at the mere sight of me, making me waste time chasing after him."

What?

The old cultivator and the young Dao Foundation Realm were slightly stunned, not yet able to react.

In the next instant, Chen Lingxi's Dao Origin suddenly surged forth, his surging aura moving in torrents, and bursts of fine lightning erupted.

Thousands of tiny bolts of lightning enveloped the Void, seemingly transforming into a celestial dome.

The Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within his body spun violently, and surging Dao Origin poured into the Thunder Thunder-Prison Profound Root like water bursting its banks.

His Profound Root trembled, and the pale golden Wondrous Fruit among the branches and leaves suddenly lit up. Endless, Weiji Thunderlight burst forth from his body, instantly covering the entire sky.

Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability!

An area spanning a thousand feet was transformed into a thunderous inferno in the blink of an eye.

The sea of clouds was scorched into nothingness by the lightning, and the flames on the array flags held by the eighteen Qi Circulation Realm cultivators swayed violently like candles in the wind after being struck by the lightning.

On the Heavenly Boat, the young Dao Foundation Realm cultivator's expression changed drastically.

This man, named Zhao Shuo, had already planted his Profound Root after only ninety years of cultivation. Among the three Dao Foundation Realm of Yellow Luminary Peak, he was the most talented and always held himself in high esteem.

He cultivated a Killing Power Divine Ability, and his Killing Power was exceptional among cultivators with the Dao Foundation Realm Profound Root.

But as soon as Chen Lingxi opened the Thunder Prison, his heart sank.

This thunder...

Before Zhao Shuo could think further, his hands had already formed a hand seal, and the Dao Origin within his body surged towards his Divine Ability Profound Root like a tidal wave.

A crimson Sword-Ray burst forth from his fingertips, growing longer in the Sword-Ray and instantly transforming into a hundred-foot-long crimson ribbon, carrying a violent aura capable of scorching everything, as it was about to slash towards Chen Lingxi.

Great Divine Ability!

Profound-Burning Qi!

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

A flash of golden light appeared between Chen Lingxi's eyebrows, and a three-inch-long black shuttle flew out silently.

Spirit-Calming Shuttle.

The shuttle was incredibly fast; almost the instant it appeared, it pierced through layers of Void and went straight into Zhao Shuo's Consciousness Sea.

Zhao Shuo felt a sudden jolt in his Consciousness Sea, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his Divine Sense, and the surging Dao Origin within his body abruptly stopped.

The Profound-Burning Qi that was about to be unleashed froze in mid-air.

The crimson light on the Sword-Ray remained intense, but it had gone out of control, trembling wildly in the air.

A flash of lightning appeared in Chen Lingxi's eyes, and the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword was already unsheathed.

The sword was crystal clear, and the remaining patterns of a hundred restrictions on its blade lit up simultaneously, unleashing an incomparably sharp sword intent that soared into the sky.

With sword in hand and lightning flashing beneath his feet, Chen Lingxi streaked towards the Heavenly Boat like a humanoid bolt of lightning.

"Die!"

Sword light pierced the sky, and the thunderous sound of Twelve Heavenly Drum Peals boomed in the Void. The Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool was suspended high in the air at some unknown time.

Among them, the Unfinished Thunder fell into Chen Lingxi's sword light.

Twelve earth-shattering thunderous sounds overlapped, transforming into a sonic wave powerful enough to tear apart the soul, pressing down on Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo's pupils suddenly contracted.

He tried with all his might to break free from the suppression of the Spirit-Calming Shuttle...

However, it was a little too late.

The Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword shot out a burst of sword light and then pierced through his brow.

The instant the sword light pierced his skull, the Weiji Thunderlight and Thunder-Vault Sword Qi surged into his Consciousness Sea, pulverizing his Divine Sense, Dao Origin, and even the Great Divine Ability Profound Root that was not yet fully grown.

Before Zhao Shuo could even let out a scream, his body was pierced by the lightning swirling around the sword light, and then exploded into countless pale golden fragments that scattered across the Void.

On the Heavenly Boat, the old cultivator's face was deathly pale.

Zhao Shuo...

So he died?

Instantly kill Dao Foundation Realm?

Zhao Shuo, a genius elder on whom Yellow Luminary Peak placed high hopes and who was expected to make further progress after a hundred years, couldn't even last a single move against this person's sword.

But Chen Lingxi gave him no chance to be shocked.

At the very instant Zhao Shuo's body exploded, the Longevity Bridge beneath Chen Lingxi crashed down upon him.

The Bridge of Longevity Bridge was constructed entirely of Dao Origin that had been condensed to the extreme. It stretched across the sky like a green mountain ridge descending from the heavens, carrying boundless spiritual energy as it crashed into the Heavenly Boat.

"You scoundrel!"

That year, the old cultivator let out an angry shout and slammed the bamboo staff into the Void.

The Profound Root that had already matured into trees within the Dao Platform trembled continuously!

His cultivation level was far superior to Zhao Shuo's.

The old cultivator's body surged with Dao Origin, and a layer of deep, earthy yellow light suddenly shone from his seemingly ordinary bamboo staff.

An indescribable, profound Daoist aura emanated from him, spreading outwards in an overwhelming manner.

Great Divine Ability!

[Wielding Mount Tai].

May all spirits reside in Taiyue!

Once this Divine Ability is unleashed, everything under heaven can become a mountain.

Even ordinary cultivators would feel as if they were carrying a thousand pounds and would be unable to move an inch if they were struck by that Daoist aura.

When a Spirit Artifact Spirit Artifact imbued with Divine Ability power, it becomes as if Mount Tai himself has descended to suppress everything.

The bamboo staff shone brightly, and in an instant, it transformed into the phantom of a majestic mountain.

The mountain was dark blue in color, with overlapping peaks and ridges. The rock textures on it were clearly visible, just like a real ancient divine mountain that had been condensed by an old cultivator using Dao Origin.

But that's only secondary.

The old cultivator opened his mouth and spat out a pure white pearl, which flew out and hovered in front of him.

The pearl was no bigger than a fist, light and airy, spinning in the air like a willow catkin swept up by the wind, weightless.

But when the earthen-yellow radiance of the Great Divine Ability of Wielding Mount Tai fell upon this precious pearl...

The world changed color!

The Floating-Feather Orb suddenly became extremely heavy.

"Go!"

With a low shout from the old cultivator, the Floating-Feather Orb, like a star falling from the sky, pressed down on Chen Lingxi with terrifying, world-destroying power.

Wherever the pearl passed, the air froze and the sea of clouds collapsed!

Chen Lingxi was standing in the formation of the eighteen Qi Circulation Realm cultivators.

The cultivators were already pale from the shock of the lightning and murderous intent intent emanating from Chen Lingxi, but they still stubbornly waved the array flags, trying to reinforce him with the binding power of the array.

Chen Lingxi didn't even glance at them, but simply raised his head and looked at the Floating-Feather Orb that was pressing down on him.

He neither dodged nor avoided, seemingly oblivious to everything.

Upon seeing this, the old cultivator's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light.

"Even a cultivator at the Wondrous Fruit would be severely injured if struck by my precious pearl along with its great Divine Ability."

"Moreover, this person just used so many methods to instantly kill Zhao Shuo!"

Dao Origin must have already been depleted.

If this blow lands, it will take his life in an instant!

The elderly monk was overwhelmed with emotion.

Right at this moment...

Just as the Floating-Feather Orb was about to reach him...

Chen Lingxi.

He raised his right hand, extending only his index finger.

The profound Dao Origin merged with the physical body's vital energy, and the True Edict of Audience with the Dao to the Palace-Knocking Finger resounding boom.

He had used this finger technique countless times, from the Cave Heaven to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, from the Qi Circulation Realm Cultivators to the Dao Foundation Realm Cultivators, and had long since mastered it to perfection.

At the fingertips, a golden light, condensed to its fullest extent, suddenly shone brightly.

The moment the fingertips touched the precious pearl, the world fell silent.

Then, the earthy yellow radiance on the Floating-Feather Orb was shattered inch by inch by this finger strike.

The immense power of that Divine Ability ability was like thin ice meeting the scorching sun under Chen Lingxi's fingertips; seventy or eighty percent of it was burned away in the blink of an eye.

However, the pearl itself was Spirit Artifact nurtured by an elderly cultivator for over a hundred years. Even without the blessing of Wielding Mount Tai, its fierce and unparalleled power remained.

Chen Lingxi felt a sudden weight on his fingertips; the precious pearl pressed against his finger, still trying to press down.

Lightning suddenly flashed in his eyes!

The Great Sage Treasure Form suddenly manifested within his body, and a surge of powerful energy flowed into his arm. The golden light on that finger burst forth, forcefully stopping the Floating-Feather Orb in mid-air.

At that moment, he swung the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword with his left hand!

Sword light swept across!

The eighteen Qi cultivators who were desperately maintaining the great Qi Circulation Realm didn't even have time to see the sword light before they were cut in half by the sweeping lightning.

Eighteen bodies exploded simultaneously, blood and spiritual light mingling in the air before being instantly scorched into nothingness by the surging lightning in the Thunder-Prison Heaven.

Eighteen Qi Circulation Realm cultivators were all killed by a single sword strike.

The elderly cultivator had just recovered from the shock of the pearl being stopped by a finger. Seeing all eighteen disciples perish, he was terrified and hurriedly activated his Dao Origin, trying to retrieve the Floating-Feather Orb.

But Chen Lingxi much faster than him.

Almost at the same instant that the eighteen Qi Circulation Realm cultivators perished, Chen Lingxi activated the Wonder-Realm Cloud-Riding Method with all his might.

They had arrived a hundred feet in front of the old cultivator.

He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of thunder, and the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool around him descended once more.

The surging, Weiji Thunderlight suddenly contracted, layer upon layer, transforming into a small, azure Thunder Pool only a few feet square, suspended three feet in front of Chen Lingxi.

Deep within this thunderous Thunder Pool, strands of Immortal-Calamity Tribulation-Grinding Aura surged and churned.

The layers of calamity piled up, like layers of heaven and earth's punishments accumulating in one place, condensing into a sword.

Chen Lingxi plunged the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword into the Thunder Pool. The Weiji Thunderlight and the Immortal-Calamity Tribulation-Grinding Aura on the sword collided violently, and a Thunderclap Sword Light a thousand feet long shot out from the Thunder Pool, piercing straight into the sky.

The Twelve Heavenly Drum Peals resound once again.

The twelve thunderous sounds overlapped, causing the sky to tremble violently.

The Thunderclap Sword Light slashed down at the Heavenly Boat Heavenly Boat, cutting it in two with a single strike.

The elderly cultivator leaped up, attempting to escape, frantically channeling his Dao Origin into the bamboo staff, unleashing the full power of the Wielding Mount Tai Divine Ability in an attempt to block the sword strike.

However, the power contained in that sword light was no longer just Thunder-Prison Heaven's Killing Power.

Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool!

Overcome all the opportunities presented by all methods under heaven!

The sword light struck the mountain formed from the bamboo staff, and the mountain crumbled inch by inch.

The old cultivator felt an inexplicable force surge through his bamboo staff. The force first sank, then struck like a barrage of thunder, blasting off his entire arm that was holding the staff.

"Ah!"

The elderly cultivator screamed and was sent flying backward.

The bamboo staff and the Floating-Feather Orb fell from the Void together, and Chen Lingxi them with a Long River of Spiritual Qi and put them into her pocket.

Before the elderly cultivator even landed, Chen Lingxi had already arrived on a cloud.

The Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword gleamed with cold lightning in his hand. With a diagonal slash, it entered the old cultivator's left shoulder and exited at his right waist.

Elder Yellow Luminary Peak, who had lived for over two hundred years and possessed profound knowledge, was severed in two from the Void. Each of his two severed bodies, carrying a layer of lingering earth-yellow Dao Origin, fell from the sea of clouds and was instantly swallowed up by the surging Thunder Prison.

The battle had lasted only a few breaths.

Chen Lingxi stood amidst the lingering lightning, her black robe fluttering in the wind.

He glanced down at the Thunder-Prison Heaven, then at the mangled body of the old cultivator falling into the Void, and suddenly frowned.

"Hmm?" he murmured to himself, his tone revealing a hint of undisguised confusion.

Why are all the Dao Foundation Realm cultivators in this Great Xuanzhuo Realm so weak?
