"You've slandered my young master over and over again!"
"You deserve to die!"
She could not hear the jealousy in Gu Changge's tone. All she knew was that he had slandered Chu Kuangren, and that set her fury ablaze.
Frost settled over her stunning face. Her wings suddenly spread, her spiritual power surged to its peak, and her oppressive aura spread.
At the sight of her wings, everyone grew even more astonished.
"She's actually one of the Featherfolk!"
"The Featherfolk! I never expected Miss Lan to be one of them."
"Are all Featherfolk girls this beautiful?"
Lan Yu spread her wings. This was her strongest form.
With a beat of her wings, she soared into the air and looked coldly down at Gu Changge, like a lofty Goddess of War.
The sight was even more breathtaking.
She channeled her spiritual power, unleashing a powerful Daoist Rhyme. White light flashed in her hand, condensing into an enormous spear.
Profound Dao patterns flowed over the spear, which radiated terrifying might.
Even Gu Changge felt a flicker of dread at this spear.
"Light Judgment!"
Lan Yu shouted coldly, about to hurl the spear in her hand.
But just then.
In the distance, a multicolored pillar of light shot into the sky!
An incomparably profound Daoist Rhyme filled heaven and earth.
This anomaly drew everyone's attention, including Lan Yu, who was in the middle of the duel. Her expression shifted slightly, and she dismissed the spear.
With a beat of her wings, Lan Yu became a streak of light and sped toward the pillar.
Because that was Ling Tian Dao Palace.
It was Chu Kuangren's residence.
And in her heart, Chu Kuangren mattered more than anything else.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others immediately hurried over as well.
"Come, follow me and see what has happened."
Gu Changge spoke calmly into the void.
Ling Tian Dao Palace.
Venerable Xuanqi, Elder Ruyan, and the other senior figures arrived before Lan Yu, Gu Changge, Nangong Huang, and the others.
They stared at the pillar of light, exchanging glances.
"What sort of commotion has our lead disciple stirred up this time?"
"No idea."
Venerable Xuanqi and the others felt rather helpless.
Chu Kuangren kept producing a whole slew of extraordinary phenomena every few days. Their hearts could hardly take it.
"What's going on?"
Lan Yu and the others arrived at the scene.
Just then, another change occurred.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly and converged, actually condensing in the air into a pagoda-like Dao foundation with seven tiers.
"That's a Foundation Establishment cultivator's Dao foundation. Is someone establishing their foundation?"
Elder Ruyan asked in puzzlement.
"No, establishing a foundation couldn't cause such a huge commotion."
Venerable Xuanqi shook his head.
Just then, the Dao foundation shook with a boom. Two more tiers rose above the seventh, transforming it into a Nine-Tier Dao Foundation!
Runes flowed around the Nine-Tier Dao Foundation, its Daoist Rhyme profound.
Everyone's expressions changed in shock.
"A Nine-Tier Dao Foundation! That's a Supreme Dao Foundation!"
"Nine is the highest number in this world. There are only a handful of cultivators across the entire Firmament Star who can condense a Nine-Tier Dao Foundation."
"I understand!" Venerable Xuanqi's eyes lit up. "Kuangren is rebuilding his cultivation and reshaping his foundations!"
Once someone broke through, their foundation was set. Reshaping it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Moreover, the slightest carelessness could damage the foundation, making the loss outweigh the gain.
"Once a foundation is damaged, repairing it is several times harder than reshaping it. Isn't our lead disciple being far too bold?"
An elder spoke with a grave expression.
"What courage!" Elder Ruyan's face was filled with admiration.
"That's my disciple!"
Venerable Xuanqi laughed heartily, then took it upon himself to stand guard over Chu Kuangren. The other senior figures also grew vigilant.
They were especially wary of Gu Changge.
After all, he was the only outsider here.
And an outsider who had come to provoke the Mystic Heaven Sect, at that.
Noticing the gazes directed at him from all around, Gu Changge snorted. "I would never stoop to something as despicable as taking advantage of another's vulnerability!"
Then he looked at the Nine-Tier Dao Foundation with some surprise.
"I never expected the Mystic Heaven Sect's eldest senior brother to possess such courage, actually reshaping his Dao foundation into the strongest Nine-Tier Supreme Dao Foundation!"
One had to understand.
Possessing a Supreme Dao Body did not guarantee that one could forge a Supreme Dao Foundation.
At most, it only increased the chances somewhat.
Even he himself only had a seven-tier Dao foundation.
And that was already a top-tier Dao foundation. Countless cultivators had nothing more than ordinary one- or two-tier Dao foundations.
Before everyone could finish marveling, spiritual energy gathered above Ling Tian Dao Palace again, actually condensing into a gleaming Golden Core!
Seven Dao patterns flowed over the Golden Core. It was a Seven-Pattern Golden Core.
The Golden Core erupted with boundless Daoist Rhyme.
It actually transformed from a Seven-Pattern Golden Core into a Nine-Pattern Golden Core!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
"A Nine-Tier Dao Foundation and a Nine-Pattern Golden Core! Our lead disciple has actually reshaped two great foundations in one go! Heavens, how did he do it?"
"A Nine-Pattern Golden Core is even harder to achieve than a Nine-Tier Dao Foundation."
"With two supreme foundations, once he advances to the Nascent Soul realm, even if he only forms an ordinary single-colored Nascent Soul, his combat strength will far surpass others at the same realm."
"As expected of our eldest senior brother..."
Murong Xuan, Nangong Huang, and the others admired Chu Kuangren even more.
Gu Changge's expression, however, grew rather ugly.
"To think he could also reshape his core into a Nine-Pattern Golden Core. There are only a few people across the entire Firmament Star who can forge such a foundation."
"Just who is the Senior Brother of the Mystic Heaven Sect?"
He could gain Lan Yu's allegiance, forge supreme foundations, and even possessed a Supreme Dao Body. Gu Changge was intensely curious about Chu Kuangren.
Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the multicolored pillar of light.
It was a little person roughly a foot tall, wearing white Daoist robes woven from Dao patterns. With red lips and white teeth, he looked seven or eight years old.
Everyone felt that the little person looked somewhat familiar.
"These fluctuations... it's a Nascent Soul."
"This is our eldest senior brother's Nascent Soul!"
"How do you know?"
"What a stupid question. Eldest senior brother is the only one cultivating in seclusion inside the Dao palace. Whose Nascent Soul could it be if not his?"
"Exactly. Besides, this child is so good-looking. Look closely, and his eyes and brows bear some resemblance to eldest senior brother's."
"Eldest senior brother is so handsome that I'd recognize him even if he turned to ash, let alone his Nascent Soul."
Just then, dazzling rays of light suddenly bloomed behind the Nascent Soul that had emerged from the pillar: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white, nine colors in all. This time, even Venerable Xuanqi was dumbstruck.
"A n-nine... Nine-Colored Nascent Soul!"
"Holy shit!"
One elder could not even stop himself from swearing.
A Nine-Tier Dao Foundation, a Nine-Pattern Golden Core, and now this Nine-Colored Nascent Soul!
Chu Kuangren had actually forged three supreme foundations in one go!
Everyone was stunned.
Gu Changge's face darkened until it looked as though water might drip from it. His heart was equally shaken, filled with disbelief.
The higher the realm, the harder it was to forge a supreme foundation! Even a Supreme Dao Foundation at the Foundation Establishment realm was enough to leave countless cultivators far behind in the dust.
Yet this eldest senior brother of the Mystic Heaven Sect had gone and done this.
Right before his eyes, he had forged three supreme Dao foundations in succession, spanning Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul! His foundation at every realm utterly crushed those of the world's countless millions of cultivators, and that included him!
At that moment, the conviction of invincibility Gu Changge had built throughout his journey began to waver.
Could he truly contend with such a supreme Heavenly Pride?
"Steady your Dao heart!" An aged voice rang out beside Gu Changge's ear. It was his Dao protector.
Gu Changge's mind jolted. He had not even met Chu Kuangren yet, but the man had already intimidated him and even shaken his conviction of invincibility!
This man was absolutely an enemy unlike any he had ever faced!
