Foundation Establishment!

The Feng Household of Ink Cloud Ridge had two Foundation Establishment High Persons, both at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

They were the household head, Feng Xuanji, and the first elder, Feng Xuanling. Neither was yet a hundred years old, and both were fiercely ambitious.

Several years ago, the Feng Household had paid an enormous price to occupy the spiritual land of Jingxiu Mountain. Since then, the first elder, Feng Xuanling, had led a contingent of Feng Clan members to hold the mountain and establish a separate branch there.

If Mo Wen wanted to seize Jingxiu Mountain, he had to trick Feng Xuanling into coming out. Otherwise, if Feng Xuanling holed up inside the mountain-protecting formation and refused to leave, it would be troublesome!

Soon, the appointed day arrived.

Mo Wen and Song Yixue arrived at the Dragon Snake Cave early, picked up the Mo Clan group, and headed for Jingxiu Mountain.

After traveling for a little over two hours, they reached the foot of Jingxiu Mountain.

Mo Wen and Song Yixue hid nearby, leaving Mo Changge and the others to call for battle outside the mountain-protecting formation.

The Mo Clan members already hated the Feng Clan to the bone. Now, they held nothing back, hurling the foulest insults they could think of.

When the Feng Household cultivators saw that Mo Changge's group numbered only a handful, yet dared to come to their doorstep and provoke them with no regard for their lives, how could they stand it?

Before long, dozens of Qi Refining cultivators came out of the formation wielding Law Artifacts and began a fierce battle with Mo Changge and the others.

Mo Changge and his companions had come prepared. They immediately flung dozens of First-Tier Superior-Grade talismans at the Feng Household cultivators.

These talismans were the Mo Clan's accumulated reserves. If today's battle had not been so important, how could they have borne to waste them like this?

With the aid of the superior-grade talismans, the Mo Clan members unleashed formidable fighting strength despite being outnumbered!

For a time, the Mo Household's side actually gained a commanding advantage, killing seven or eight Feng Household members.

The Feng Household cultivators were both shocked and furious. As they counterattacked frantically, they sent word to Ancestor Xuanling.

Once the Mo Clan group had used up their superior-grade talismans, their fighting strength plummeted. They fought as they retreated, drawing the battle away from Jingxiu Mountain.

Before long, both sides had reached a point three li from Jingxiu Mountain.

At that moment, each of the Mo Clan members took out a talisman radiating terrifying pressure and threw it at the Feng Household cultivators.

Several thunderous booms rang out, throwing the Feng Household cultivators into chaos and leaving them with heavy casualties!

These talismans were simplified Fire Phoenix Talismans that Mo Wen had made especially for the occasion. They counted as quasi-spirit talismans and could be activated by Qi Refining cultivators.

"How dare you, junior!" A figure rushed out of the mountain-protecting formation, radiating powerful Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure as he hurtled toward the Mo Clan group.

Mo Wen no longer concealed himself. He abruptly stepped in front of Feng Xuanling, blocking his path.

Feng Xuanling was greatly shocked and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, why are you making an enemy of my Feng Clan? If you withdraw, my Feng Household will offer you a generous gift."

"I am Mo Wen of the Mo Clan. Today, I come to collect the blood debt owed to the hundred-odd lives of the Mo Household!"

With that, Mo Wen swung the Startling Thunder Sword, sending a wave of Sword Qi as mighty as a mountain at Feng Xuanling.

He had not used the Flowing Light Sword Technique in this attack, much less the Sword Qi Thunder Sound. He relied entirely on his powerful Law Power to overwhelm his opponent.

Even so, Feng Xuanling could not withstand the might of that strike!

He swung the spirit sword in his hand frantically and activated a defensive Spirit Artifact to protect himself, but he could not block the Sword Qi at all. He was blasted more than a hundred zhang away, blood spraying from his mouth!

Feng Xuanling was a veteran of the cultivation world. He immediately forced his badly injured body to fly toward Jingxiu Mountain. He knew very well that only by escaping inside the mountain-protecting formation would he have a chance of surviving the day!

"Stop there, Fellow Daoist. This path is closed!"

A figure, graceful as an immortal, suddenly blocked Feng Xuanling's path and spoke in a calm voice.

Another Foundation Establishment cultivator! All hope turned to ash for Feng Xuanling. He mobilized all the Essence Blood in his body, intent on taking the female cultivator before him down with him!

"Why bother?"

A soft sigh sounded beside Feng Xuanling's ear. Then his vision went black, and he knew no more.

With Feng Xuanling dead, the dozen or so remaining Feng Household cultivators could no longer fight back. In little more than a quarter of an hour, they all died beneath the swords of Mo Qingyun and the others. Not one escaped.

Only a few weaker Feng Household cultivators remained on Jingxiu Mountain. They were incapable of controlling even the mountain-protecting formation, so naturally they could not stop Mo Wen and the others.

In just an hour, Mo Wen broke through the mountain-protecting formation and set foot on Jingxiu Mountain once more.

Mo Qingyun and the others killed the Feng Household's remaining cultivators one by one. Meanwhile, Mo Wen put away the Feng Household's mountain-protecting formation and set up the second-tier superior-grade formation he had purchased in Azure Luan Immortal City-the Azure Wood Mountain-Fortifying Formation.

With this formation protecting him, even if a Golden Core True Person attacked, Mo Wen could use its power to hold out for three to five days. As for the Feng Household's damaged formation, its formation foundations had been damaged, so a second-tier formation master would have to repair it before it could be used again.

After occupying Jingxiu Mountain, Mo Wen gave Song Yixue a few instructions, then went to the cave abode on the mountain with the densest Spiritual Qi and began his breakthrough.

Soon, he had circulated the Azure Wood Instruction through one cycle.

In an instant, Mo Wen felt his body tremble violently as the gaseous Law Power in his Dantian rapidly transformed into liquid at a speed beyond imagination.

At the same time, a Spiritual Qi vortex a hundred zhang across began to form above his cave abode.

The Spiritual Qi vortex voraciously devoured the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, providing enough Spiritual Qi for Mo Wen to condense Qi into liquid.

As time passed, more and more liquid Law Power accumulated inside Mo Wen. Correspondingly, the Spiritual Qi vortex above the cave abode rapidly spread outward.

One li, five li, ten li, twenty li...

Before everyone's astonished eyes, an enormous Spiritual Qi vortex spread rapidly in every direction, centered on Jingxiu Mountain.

Gradually, the Spiritual Qi vortex grew beyond a hundred li across and continued extending into the distance.

Such a startling phenomenon immediately drew the attention of many nearby cultivators.

Before long, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators had gathered outside Jingxiu Mountain.

By then, the Spiritual Qi vortex was still expanding and had already exceeded two hundred li across.

"This phenomenon is somewhat similar to the Spiritual Qi vortex that forms when a Qi Refining cultivator reaches Foundation Establishment," a Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly said.

"What Qi Refining cultivator could have such terrifying accumulations? In my opinion, some Golden Core True Person must be practicing a Law Technique," another Foundation Establishment cultivator offered his own guess.

"I haven't heard of the Feng Household having any connection to a True Person! Besides, even if a Golden Core True Person were practicing a Law Technique, they wouldn't choose a place like Jingxiu Mountain," yet another Foundation Establishment cultivator countered.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators present began discussing it, each offering an opinion. Though they were eager to know who had caused such a phenomenon, Jingxiu Mountain's protective formation was already active, and they could not get inside!

By now, everyone on Jingxiu Mountain had been stunned numb by the phenomenon. They knew only that Mo Wen had caused it, but they had no idea what was happening!

Wasn't Mo Wen using divergent method Foundation Establishment? How could he cause such a terrifying phenomenon? Who would believe it was real if they had not seen it with their own eyes?
