19: Chapter 19 The Nascent Soul Opportunity: Does My Disciple Truly Understand the Art of Physiognomy?
Inside the practice room.
Bai Yunzhou took out the perfect Foundation Establishment Pill obtained from the Opportunity critical hit, as well as the Medicinal Pill that Revered Master had previously exchanged for him.
"With the assistance of these Medicinal Pills, along with the perfect Foundation Establishment Pill, I have a ninety percent chance of achieving a Breakthrough in Foundation Establishment."
Even with a ninety percent probability, Bai Yunzhou still did not dare to be careless.
After another round of mental adjustment, feeling that his state had reached its peak, he finally consumed the perfect Foundation Establishment Pill.
The moment he swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill, he felt an unusual movement in his cultivation, as if a shackle within his body was being broken open.
Bai Yunzhou hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Technique and began his Breakthrough.
With his active guidance, the Spiritual Qi in the practice room began to continuously gather toward him, pouring endlessly into his body from his skin pores and transforming his Physical Body.
This process was extremely painful and consumed a vast amount of vital blood and Qi.
When he felt he could no longer hold on, he immediately took out an auxiliary Medicinal Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Repeating this cycle, several days passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment!
He had already reached the most critical moment of his Breakthrough.
However, after the consumption over these past few days, his Physical Body had long since reached its limit.
His spirit had also become withered, and it looked like he was about to fail to hold on.
"No, it's just a little bit more!"
"Ninety percent chance, there is only this one time!"
Bai Yunzhou knew that if he failed the Breakthrough this time, wanting to break through in the future would become several times more difficult than this.
More importantly, he was afflicted with the Blood Soul Seal!
If he failed the Breakthrough this time, even if he obtained the ten-thousand-year spiritual milk later, he would not be able to break through to the Mid Foundation Establishment after three months.
In other words, if he failed this Breakthrough, he could only wait for Revered Master to capture back the core Elder of the Blood Demon Sect to survive.
Thinking of this, the pressure in his heart increased greatly.
He also realized this at the very first moment, quickly calming his mood and gathering his mind and Qi.
Not knowing how much time had passed, the feeling of Breakthrough that had lasted for several days finally disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, his entire person's spirit was refreshed, and the weak feeling all over his body quickly dissipated.
It was as if he had been reborn at this moment.
"I finally succeeded in the Breakthrough!"
For the past few days, there was finally a trace of relaxation on Bai Yunzhou's face.
However, now was not the time for him to completely relax. Having just broken through his Realm, he still needed to stabilize it.
But this only required consuming some time.
...
Near Lingbao Mountain.
A flying boat of the Qingxuan Sect was shuttling through the clouds.
Inside a room on the flying boat.
Du Yiming was holding a Jade Slip and handing it to Elder Zhou Mu.
"Elder Zhou Mu, this is the intelligence that my Du Family spent a huge price to purchase from the Tianji Pavilion."
Elder Zhou Mu took the Jade Slip, her Divine Sense probed into it, and she began to read.
Tianji Pavilion, a famous intelligence organization in the cultivation world.
No one knew its origins.
But one thing could be determined: as long as your Spirit Stones were sufficient, you could purchase any intelligence you wanted within Tianji Pavilion.
And it had never been wrong.
Because of this, Tianji had a considerable reputation among major Sects and Loose Cultivators.
"According to the intelligence, the Blood Demon Sect is currently holding the Blood Demon Grand Ceremony, and all core Elders who were outside have returned."
Du Yiming continued to speak.
"If we want to capture the opponent's core Elder, we can only go to the headquarters of the Blood Demon Sect."
"However, with our current strength, if we go to the headquarters of the Blood Demon Sect, I am afraid we will undoubtedly die."
Speaking of this, he looked at Elder Zhou Mu and asked tentatively.
"What do you think about waiting until the Blood Demon Grand Ceremony ends, and those core Elders go to the branch, before we take action?"
Elder Zhou Mu did not raise her head, just continuing to look at the intelligence in the Jade Slip.
At the same time, she said.
"The Blood Demon Grand Ceremony will last for several months, and my disciple cannot afford to wait. Do you understand?"
Du Yiming lowered his head, remained silent for a long while, and only then withdrew from the room.
He left the room, turned around and entered another room, simultaneously casting a soundproofing barrier.
Inside this room, there were also five Core Formation Cultivators of the Du Family.
Du Jianghe looked at him and asked.
"Dad, how is it? Can Elder Zhou Mu agree to postpone the action?"
Du Yiming shook his head.
Getting the answer, everyone's expressions sank.
"This crazy woman, she simply wants our Du Family to be destroyed!"
Now on the flying boat, all Core Formation members of the Du Family were present. If they all perished, the Du Family would no longer have any Core Formation Cultivators.
Then within the Qingyun Sect, his Du Family would inevitably be eaten clean by other aristocratic families.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Du Jianghe's eyes as he looked at Du Yiming and said.
"Dad, let's make a move!"
As his voice fell, another Core Formation Cultivator took over the conversation.
"That's right, Big Brother! We can't hesitate anymore!"
"Although Elder Zhou Mu has extraordinary strength, this flying boat belongs to our Du Family, and the Formation on it is enough to trap her."
"With our strength, could we still not kill her alone?"
For a moment, everyone cast their gazes on Du Yiming.
He pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, agreeing to the plan previously discussed by everyone.
"This operation must only succeed; otherwise, once the news is transmitted back to the Sect, our Du Family will be instantly destroyed!"
Seeing Du Yiming nod, everyone looked at each other.
However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the room.
"It seems you have already decided!"
Hearing this familiar voice, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Knowing that the matter had been exposed, they immediately stopped hesitating and prepared to make a move.
Yet the speed of the owner of that voice was obviously much faster.
Only to see a Flying Sword break through the door, taking the life of a Core Formation Cultivator with a single sword strike.
Seeing this, the remaining five people were shocked and furious, and could only shatter the walls and flee.
However, the moment everyone rushed out of the flying boat, they discovered that the entire flying boat was surrounded by a huge sword Formation, making it impossible to escape.
"Swish!"
Another sword ended the life of a Core Formation Cultivator.
Du Yiming's expression became extremely ugly.
Originally, there were still six of them. Coordinating with the Formation on the flying boat and under a sneak attack, it was possible to slay Elder Zhou Mu.
Yet now!
Two people had died in succession, and the entire flying boat was trapped by the opponent's sword Formation.
In such a situation, only by begging for mercy would there be a glimmer of survival.
He looked at Elder Zhou Mu and hurriedly spoke.
"Elder Zhou Mu, stop! Let's talk properly!"
Elder Zhou Mu did not listen, only blindly manipulating the Flying Sword to kill the Core Formation Cultivators of the Du Family.
At this time, Du Jianghe seemed to have lost his reason.
"Elder Zhou Mu, you are going too far, I will fight you to the death!"
He wanted to self-detonate!
Du Yiming was greatly alarmed, and immediately sacrificed a Magic Treasure to block in front of him.
"Boom!"
In an instant, most of the entire flying boat was damaged. Apart from Du Yiming, the other two Core Formation Cultivators of the Du Family were also heavily injured.
As for Elder Zhou Mu?
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Two swords!
The two heavily injured Core Formation Cultivators perished simultaneously.
Du Yiming was in despair.
His Du Family was truly finished this time.
Even if he managed to return alive, his Du Family would stand alone and unsupported.
A moment later.
Elder Zhou Mu landed in the forest below, cleared the battlefield, and buried the several Core Formation Cultivators of the Du Family on the spot.
Her movements were extremely proficient.
"I brought you along merely hoping that you could lead the way, and incidentally to prevent you from finding trouble with my disciple while I was away."
"However, since you insisted on seeking death, you might as well rest well here."
Glancing again at the few grave mounds in front of her.
Elder Zhou Mu flew away on her sword, but a day later, she discovered that she had unexpectedly returned here again.
She fell silent.
"I remember I shouldn't have flown in the wrong direction!"
Several days later.
She looked at the several grave mounds in front of her.
"Perhaps I should wait for a passing Cultivator to ask for directions."
So she just waited like this.
Suddenly, she noticed not far away, not far away there was actually a teleportation Formation.
Moreover, the moment she cast her gaze on that Formation, she had a strong feeling.
It seemed that the Opportunity for her to break through to the Nascent Soul was related to it.
At the same time, she also remembered what Bai Yunzhou had said, and instantly her face showed astonishment.
"Could it be that my disciple really understands the art of physiognomy?"
