287: Successful foundation building

Facing that Talisman Treasure, Zhou Changan had no fear.

He swung the longsword in his hand, stirring up a large area of sword light, and sharp sword energy surged from all directions, attacking the opponent.

With the Realm enhancement provided by the Explosive Spirit Pill, he unleashed extremely terrifying power.

But this power was completely insignificant before that man, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

With a mocking smile on his lips, he poured spiritual energy into that Talisman Treasure.

As the Talisman Treasure was activated, a dazzling golden light shone and rushed out, and a grand and heavy aura permeated the surroundings.

A golden mountain suddenly appeared before Zhou Changan, carrying an indescribable power that made people feel awe.

Zhou Changan did not retreat but advanced; he had to block the opponent's attack to buy time for his Family behind him to retreat.

When he saw someone betraying them and secretly colluding with the Lu Family to appear at this time, he already realized that this Spirit Mine could not be defended tonight.

In this situation, buying time to escape should be something he, as the Eldest Brother, must do.

The sword energy filling the sky could not shake the golden mountain in the slightest. Zhou Changan hardened his heart, activated all his spiritual energy, and unleashed a boundless, brilliant sword light.

Bang—

With the power of Qi Training ninth layer, the golden light slammed onto the sword energy, actually leaving a not-too-deep, not-too-shallow sword mark.

That person from the Lu Family was greatly shocked, not expecting this guy to have some skill.

He controlled that golden mountain and slammed it down.

The overwhelming power in the sky dispersed and rushed out, pressing down on Zhou Changan, making it hard for him to breathe.

He met the difficulty head-on, enduring the might of the Talisman Treasure, and directly attacked that man.

As long as he killed the opponent, the source of the Talisman Treasure's power would dissipate.

But how could the other party give him such a chance?

The man held a large saber in his hand, flashed out, and engaged in battle with him.

...

On the other side, Xu Changsheng looked at the countless Lu Family Cultivators pouring out from the Array Formation's gap and Zhou Chang Le, who was struggling alone.

He quickly sent a message: "Chang Le, retreat immediately. We'll go to Jiang City."

Zhou Chang Le looked unwilling, but at this point, it was too late to turn the tide. He could only fight his way out, creating a bloody path, and came to his side.

"Where are the other brothers?" Zhou Chang Le asked in a deep voice.

Just then, spiritual light fluctuated not far away, and others were also rushing towards here.

Xu Changsheng exchanged a look with him and immediately rushed over.

A moment later, the two groups successfully converged.

"Third Sister, where is Eldest Brother?" Seeing that Zhou Changan was not there, Zhou Chang Le quickly asked.

Third Sister Lin Shiyi immediately briefly explained the situation.

"How could Eldest Brother withstand a Talisman Treasure? No, I have to go support him."

After hearing this, Zhou Chang Le immediately said.

"Together. This Spirit Mine can only be abandoned. We'll take him and leave directly," Xu Changsheng followed.

Immediately, a group of people rushed towards Zhou Changan's direction.

Boom—

Before they even got close, they saw a large area of golden light and intense power fluctuations emerging in the distance.

Rocks flew, and trees were shattered.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they quickly sped up.

Then, they arrived at a scorched piece of ground, where more than a dozen corpses lay. At first glance, they saw Zhou Changan lying on the side, his aura weak.

"Eldest Brother!"

Zhou Chang Le was the first to shout, and the others also showed anxious expressions and came to his side.

At this moment, Zhou Changan was critically injured, his aura depleted. The most fatal thing was that all his meridians were severed, and even his Qi Sea and Dantian were shattered, making it impossible to recover.

Zhou Chang Le picked him up, his eyes reddening: "Eldest Brother."

Zhou Chang Le tremblingly opened his eyelids, his eyes dim. He moved his lips.

"Chang Le, tell... Father... I'm not going back..."

The next moment, his last breath completely dissipated, and he lost his Life.

Everyone present looked grief-stricken, their eyes red, their hands tightly clenched.

"I'm going to kill these Lu Family guys and avenge Eldest Brother," Zhou Chang Le said, holding his high-grade magic sword, and was about to charge towards the Lu Family Cultivators who were rushing towards them.

Xu Changsheng grabbed him: "Chang Le, don't be reckless. Do you want more people to die? We need to leave quickly."

Watching Zhou Changan die in front of him, he was also filled with grief, but reason told him that if they didn't leave now, they would all be trapped here.

Zhou Chang Le's tears flowed. Knowing that the other party was right, he could only take out the flying shuttle he had prepared long ago and said sternly.

"Let's go. Eldest Brother's revenge must be taken later!"

...

Qingyuan Immortal City, a certain cave dwelling in the Core Area.

Zhou Luo had reached the final stage of Foundation Establishment.

The spiritual energy in his Qi Sea was constantly condensing into liquid mana.

The spiritual energy fluctuations caused by this also alerted the Cultivators in the surrounding cave dwellings to the abnormality.

"Someone is breaking through to Foundation Establishment, and they're about to succeed."

When the heaven and earth spiritual energy began to converge towards a certain place, and sensing the aura coming from inside, they couldn't help but feel surprised.

Most of the Cultivators in the Core Area came to attempt Foundation Establishment, but ultimately only a few succeeded.

Now, a Foundation Establishment Expert is about to appear.

An hour later, above a certain cave dwelling, the heaven and earth spiritual energy suddenly began to gather frantically, even forming a vortex. Within that vortex, a faint colorful glow was visible.

A natural phenomenon, a sign of successful Foundation Establishment.

Inside the cave dwelling, Zhou Luo, who looked like an old monk in meditation, suddenly erupted with an extremely terrifying pressure. That pressure surged like a tide towards all parts of the cave dwelling, causing even the rocks to tremble, shaking out countless broken stones.

Foundation Establishment Realm, success!

"Hahaha, after three years of arduous cultivation, this Foundation Establishment Realm is finally complete!"

Zhou Luo laughed heartily, feeling incredibly refreshed.

He rose from the cultivation platform, his aura completely contained, like an ordinary person.

At this moment, his Dao Heart was clear, his eyes bright, and his power had reached an unprecedented level of strength.

At the same time, the Cultivators outside the cave dwelling were also startled.

He actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

Which faction's expert is it?

Could it be the Li Family, who have been quiet all this time?

Or someone else?

These Cultivators were filled with countless doubts. Some even voluntarily left their cave dwellings, planning to take a look at the background of this newly promoted Foundation Establishment Expert.

However, after successfully establishing Foundation, Zhou Luo left directly, completely giving no opportunity for others to pry.

The others could only leave disappointed.

A moment later.

Zhou Luo appeared in a certain street in the Immortal City. He took off his mask, returning to his original appearance.

Now that he had established Foundation, he no longer needed to rely on the Aura Concealing Talisman to hide his aura. As long as he wanted to, unless it was a Golden Core True Person, who was a major Realm higher than himself, it would be possible to see his true strength.

Even a Pseudo-Golden Core True Person couldn't.

"It's been three years since I last appeared. I wonder how the situation is at home."

He strolled along the Immortal City streets, thinking to himself.

Before returning to the Zhou Family, he first made a trip to the Xian Yuan Pavilion.

It was still as bustling as before.

He could vaguely see Wang Lang busy inside, attracting customers.

He stepped in.

"Brother Zhou!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Wang Lang was startled, then overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward.

"Long time no see, hope you've been well," Zhou Luo said with a light laugh.
