Entrapment! Two more Foundation Establishment cultivators join the Great Xia Dynasty!

As Emperor Chuan's hysterical roar faded, Pretty Country's intelligence agencies began to operate frantically.

One after another, top-level urgent secret orders were silently transmitted across the ocean.

For a time, the demons and monsters lurking in various corners of Great Xia began to squirm frantically.

Whether they were elite agents disguised as foreign teachers, or commercial spies hidden within multinational corporations,

even those dead pawns who had long been turned and remained dormant, all received the same death order at this moment.

At all costs, even if it meant exposing their identities, they had to acquire the immortal cultivation textbook named 'Basic Body Forging Art'!

However, what these spies, who believed their actions were secretive, never dreamed of was that

their every move was already under the surveillance of Great Xia's highest authorities.

In fact, to cooperate with this 'luring the enemy into a trap' scheme,

the Grand Elder even specifically ordered the textbooks, originally scheduled for distribution the next day, to be deliberately delayed by two days!

Not only that, the officials also seriously strengthened the security levels of major universities,

and all vehicles transporting textbooks were replaced with fully armed escort vehicles,

creating a tense atmosphere of 'this is a top-secret heavenly book, strictly forbidden to be leaked'.

At this, the spies were even more like sharks smelling blood, their eyes turning red!

Such strict defense? Then it must be real!

Must get it!

Little did they know, beneath that seemingly heavily guarded exterior,

there were already 'gaps' specifically prepared for them, just waiting for them to fall in.

Of course, for the Four Elders currently on Mount Taibai, this was no longer a big deal.

It was merely casting a net incidentally, killing two birds with one stone.

At this moment, what truly captivated their hearts, making them unwilling to even blink,

was the astonishing transformation happening on the Peak of Mount Taibai!

Not long after Lin Xiyue triggered a celestial phenomenon, successfully formed a Golden Core, and became Great Xia's first Golden Core True Person.

Boom!

Another aura, though far less vast than that of a Golden Core, yet extremely powerful,

and even far exceeding the scope of the Qi Refining Realm, suddenly erupted in the Spiritual Energy Rain!

That was the aura of — Lin Guohui!

As the soon-to-be first Headmaster of Taibai Academy, Lin Guohui deeply understood the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

His daughter was a Golden Core mighty figure, and his son was the Dao Ancestor of Preaching.

If he, as the father, had too weak a cultivation, how could he hold his head high in front of his students in the future?

"With one push, achieve Foundation Establishment, today!"

Lin Guohui roared in his heart, mobilizing all the spiritual power in his body,

converging it into an invisible heavy hammer, and fiercely smashed it against that Foundation Establishment Bottleneck!

Crack!

Accompanying a crisp cracking sound from within his body, the shackles preventing his transformation shattered in response!

The originally gaseous spiritual power underwent a qualitative change at this moment,

rapidly compressing and condensing, transforming into the first drop of liquid True Essence, dripping into his Dantian.

Immediately after, came the second drop, the third drop...

Boom—!

A powerful aura belonging to a Foundation Establishment Realm expert instantly swept out from Lin Guohui as its center!

He suddenly opened his eyes, which were brimming with brilliant light,

he seemed to have become ten years younger, and his entire being exuded a powerful vitality as if reborn.

Foundation Establishment Realm, achieved!

From then on, Great Xia successfully welcomed its second Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator!

"Good! Excellent!"

Seeing this scene, the Second Elder not far away cheered excitedly.

The Headmaster successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm,

this was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Taibai Academy, which was about to open!

However, the surprise was clearly not over.

Just as the commotion of Lin Guohui's Breakthrough had subsided.

Zhang Qingfeng, not far from him, seemed to have been stimulated by the successive Breakthrough phenomena.

He watched the Little Ancestor, like a goddess, achieve Golden Core above him,

and then saw Lin Guohui successfully establish Foundation beside him, and a burning fighting spirit instantly ignited in his old eyes.

"Limitless Heavenly Venerate, motherf*cker!"

"I have cultivated the Dao my entire life, how can I fall behind others?!"

"I'll risk it all!"

Zhang Qingfeng gritted his teeth, and the Cultivation Technique, which was already operating at its Peak, accelerated once again!

He was like a greedy black hole, frantically plundering the surrounding Spiritual Qi that had not yet dispersed,

attempting to seize that fleeting Opportunity before the Spiritual Energy Rain ended!

In mid-air.

Lin Xiyue, who had just stabilized her Golden Core Realm, immediately noticed the movement below.

She looked down and immediately chuckled.

"Oh my? Daoist Master Qingfeng is starting to burst forth!"

"So old and still so dedicated, commendable spirit!"

"Hehe, in that case, this Little Ancestor will lend you a hand!"

Lin Xiyue smiled mischievously, and with a gentle wave of her slender jade hand.

Buzz!

The Formation Plate suspended in mid-air trembled slightly.

Immediately after, a stream of the purest, highest-quality Spiritual Qi, which was about to dissipate in all directions,

seemed to be pulled by something, and actually made a turn in the air,

transforming into a visible pillar of Spiritual Qi that poured directly towards Zhang Qingfeng!

"Daoist Master, catch it!"

Below, Zhang Qingfeng felt his whole body shake.

That extremely pure Spiritual Qi, like an enlightenment, instantly surged into his Meridians.

This Spiritual Qi was not only abundant and satisfying, but also of extremely high quality, so much so that it could be directly converted into his own spiritual power without much refinement!

With the addition of this fresh force, Zhang Qingfeng was like someone who had taken the highest-grade stimulant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His internal aura began to surge wildly!

Qi Refining ninth stage Middle Stage... Late Stage...

In just a few breaths, he broke through the limits of the Qi Refining Realm like a hot knife through butter, directly reaching the Peak!

"Now!"

"Break, for this Daoist priest!!"

Zhang Qingfeng roared, using the momentum of that high-quality Spiritual Qi to launch a desperate attack on the Foundation Establishment Bottleneck!

There was no suspense.

In front of that almost materialized torrent of Spiritual Qi, the so-called Bottleneck was like paper, instantly shattered!

Buzz—!

A stream of clear Qi rushed out from the top of Zhang Qingfeng's head, then transformed into a radiant glow that sprinkled over his entire body.

His original physique, amidst a crackling sound of bones,

actually straightened a bit more, and his slightly graying hair turned completely black at a visible speed.

That immortal and Daoist aura, at this moment, became even more profound and transcendent.

After Lin Guohui, Great Xia's third Foundation Establishment Cultivator was officially born on this Mount Taibai Peak,

with the personal assistance of a Golden Core Immortal Master!

"Thank you, Little Ancestor, for your benevolence!"

Zhang Qingfeng, who had just broken through, didn't bother to comprehend his Realm, and immediately stood up,

bowing deeply to Lin Xiyue in the air, his face filled with gratitude and reverence.

He knew very well that without Lin Xiyue's final 'enlightenment',

he would probably have to grind for another ten days to half a month to break through.

"Hehe, Daoist Master, you're too kind!"

Lin Xiyue waved her hand, clearly in high spirits.

And with Zhang Qingfeng's Breakthrough, the three Nuclear Reactors were completely burned out.

Buzz!

The huge Formation Plate suspended in mid-air slowly stopped rotating, and its light gradually receded.

This Spiritual Energy downpour, which lasted for a day and a night, creating one Golden Core, two Foundation Establishment, and dozens of high-stage Qi Refining Cultivators, finally concluded in the morning breeze.

But everyone knew.

This was not the end.

This was merely... the beginning of Great Xia's ascent!
