Chapter 1203: Chapter 1200: Tong Yunshu’s Mutation
The team from the Southern Domain that ca to open the fair has departed, but not everyone returned; more than twenty people stayed on Earth.
Among them were even five of the eleven Foundation Establishnt cultivators, including Wu You and Zhuo Donglai, who were previously trapped on Earth.
They felt that now Earth and the Southern Domain had established a good relationship and could coexist peacefully. With their cultivation realms, staying on Earth was actually safer and more beneficial for their cultivation practice.
Of course, there were also six who still felt that the Southern Domain Cultivation World was more comfortable, and many other resources needed for cultivation that Earth lacked.
Although the Southern Domain Cultivation World team has left, through this workshop trade, the cultivators on Earth obtained many things they wanted. Apart from spirit stones, other cultivation supplies needed by cultivators have beco more available in White Jade City.
So acquired so Immortal Dao Techniques and spell divine skills from the cultivation world and began to study them in secret.
Cultivators do not solely pursue immortality; the pursuit of great power and combat strength is also crucial. Many Earth martial artists have begun to change their cultivation direction, striving to enhance their combat power and engaging in the learning and research of magic with more enthusiasm and passion.
In Tong Yunshu’s room, after purchasing a book titled "Rune True Understanding" the other day, she had been studying this ancient Southern Domain Cultivation World book in her room.
This was a rather old docunt that contained a vast number of annotations on runes. Tong Yunshu bought it because she liked the Tao of Runes, finding her interest in it surpassing cultivation. Secondly, the book contained many runes she recognized; though she hadn’t learned their pronunciation, they were among those Zhuge Cang and Yang Fei had taught her, complete with detailed explanations and phonetic annotations in this book’s interpretations.
After spending a day and a night, Tong Yunshu managed to understand the pronunciation and usage of rune phonetics. Understanding these allowed her to produce sounds for about half of the previously unreadable ancient runes.
Yet, nearly half of the ancient runes still couldn’t be decoded using the phonetic notations in this Rune True Understanding, requiring her intuition in the Tao of Runes to gradually explore their pronunciation.
In the cultivation years, ti flew by like a shuttle, and three more years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three years, Zhu Tianshou, Qin Huai’an, Helian Rong, Gong Haichao, and Zhuge Cang succeeded in reaching Foundation Establishnt.
Xu Jian, Wu Yunhai, Zuo Wenjun, Mo Li, and Chen Liangzhong each attempted Foundation Establishnt but all ended in failure, with Xu Jian being unable to preserve his life; three days after his failed attempt, he perished.
This situation was unexpected to everyone.
Including the six from Lingxiao Sect.
They said that failure followed by death, a complete obliteration of cultivation, was a rare occurrence. Usually, a Foundation Establishnt failure at most caused a drop in one’s realm, impacting the Dao heart and body, making future attempts particularly challenging.
Situations like Xu Jian’s after failing were indeed uncommon.
The Xu family was plunged into prolonged grief over Xu Jian’s death.
In the Xu family, Xu Jian was a true ancestor, believed by all to be the person to first step into the Foundation Establishnt stage.
No one anticipated his failure.
Afterwards, Yang Fei and others analyzed the circumstances of Xu Jian’s death upon failing at Foundation Establishnt, concluding it was related to his previous body seizing of Duanmu Cheng.
Although he successfully seized Duanmu Cheng’s body, his primordial spirit and Duanmu Cheng’s body’s Sea of Consciousness possibly retained so rejection.
Add to this his body realm had just reached the late-stage Qi Refining state when he attempted Foundation Establishnt, not stable enough. Thinking his divine sense telekinesis was robust, he wanted to succeed young, resulting in his premature attempt, ultimate failure, and tragic demise.
It is worth ntioning that among the Earth cultivators in White Jade City, a notable number of Hidden Sect practitioners had reached Innate Realm; elder individuals made quick progress compared to the past but couldn’t break through to the Divine Travel Realm, failing to develop divine sense, and thus missed the chance for Foundation Establishnt.
Eight years passed, and six exhausted their lifespan, dying naturally without the opportunity for Foundation Establishnt.
The natural deaths of these six left a substantial impact on everyone in White Jade City.
They had witnessed Xu Jian fail at Foundation Establishnt and perish and seen more than ten others fail, their cultivation realms plumting, forever losing the path to immortal cultivation.
Yet, the impact of those who died naturally without challenging Foundation Establishnt was even more overwhelming.
Who among cultivators does not crave immortality?
Witnessing lifespan depletion and dying naturally is a colossal fear and torture for those who acknowledge immortality among cultivators.
Even the vast majority of martial artists without spirit roots bore strong resentnt within, silently hoping the miracle of immortality would favor them.
Thus, they persistently mined spirit ore, diligently cultivated, and struggled for a fleeting chance of a miracle.
The fleeting years passed, and another year went by, leaving less than one year until the second fair trade.
That evening, dreadful thunderclouds suddenly cloaked the skies over White Jade City, veiling the sun.
Everyone felt the occurrence of such a natural phenonon, and they couldn’t help but reveal expressions of surprise and doubt.
"What’s going on?"
"I’ve never seen such dense clouds during all the years here."
"Indeed, though White Jade City has a rainy season, no one has seen such thunderclouds."
Exclamations echoed around.
Most didn’t know what the issue was, but Foundation Establishnt cultivators quickly sensed sothing was off.
This didn’t seem to be a natural weather phenonon but man-made.
"It’s Tong Yunshu!" Qin Yanyang’s expression changed as he exclaid.
With a grave expression, Yang Fei hurried off.
Everyone rushed towards the wooden building where Tong Yunshu resided.
They saw Zhuge Cang already standing guard there.
When Yang Fei arrived, Zhuge Cang, filled with anxiety, said, "Yang Fei, what on earth is going on? Is this girl Yun Shu trying to break through to Foundation Establishnt?"
With a grave expression, Yang Fei shook his head, saying, "No, the last ti I gave her a Foundation Establishnt Pill, she didn’t take it, saying she hadn’t t the conditions for Foundation Establishnt and that the pill should be left to soone who needs it first."
The others at the scene all showed a change in expression.
Given the current situation, it was apparent that Tong Yunshu was attempting to break through a major realm, theoretically, to Foundation Establishnt.
Yet, she had no Foundation Establishnt Pill.
This was not to be taken lightly.
Attempting Foundation Establishnt without a pill, while there were precedents on Earth, more were cautionary tales of failure.
Yang Fei panicked internally, wishing to rush in and see the situation but forced himself to hold back.
He didn’t even dare to use divine sense to investigate.
No one at the scene dared recklessly release their divine sense to probe the situation.
Disturbing Tong Yunshu would only be counterproductive.
