The void layer.
Yunze faintly smelled a familiar scent and slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a tender face full of blood appeared before him.
"…A ghost!!"
Yunze dodged away with a flash!
He clearly saw that Bubu was dead, this must be a ghost!
No, it could also be a puppet controlled by Disha, just like that monk Du Zhi.
"I'll give you one chance to rephrase that."
Bubu's voice was cold, as cold as it was before she died.
She slowly got up and stood there, looking at Yunze, "Come here."
Judging by her tone, she really sounded like Bubu, not like the controlled monk Du Zhi who had no thoughts of his own.
But even so, Yunze dared not relax his vigilance. He did not act rashly, and cautiously probed, "You… are you really Bubu? You're not dead?"
"Mm, not dead."
Bubu replied.
She knew this guy was cautious, so she took a step forward, crossed a spatial rift, and appeared beside him. She aimed at his head and raised her hand to strike!
*Bang!*
Yunze cried out in pain, quickly covering his head.
"This move, a ghost can't do it, right?"
Hearing Bubu's question, Yunze quickly turned around and embraced her directly, "You're not dead! You're really not dead! That's great!"
"Let go."
Bubu's cold voice sounded in his ear.
Yunze quickly let go. He also knew that his action just now was a bit inappropriate, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I was too excited, so…"
"Alright, before you fainted, what exactly did you do to me?"
"Hmm?"
Yunze let out a soft hum and subconsciously began to recall what happened before he fainted.
*Buzz!*
A sharp pain struck his brain, accompanied by a ringing in his ears!
This pain was different from being hit just now; this was a tremor from the inside out.
Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment.
But Yunze dared not think about it further.
He shook his head, his brows furrowed, "I don't know. My head hurts whenever I try to think about it. It's like there's a force stopping me."
"Head hurts…"
Bubu frowned slightly.
This should be a restriction blocking his memory.
"Regardless, as long as you're alright now, isn't that good enough?"
Yunze was in good spirits and couldn't help but lean in to look at the mark on Bubu's neck, "Is the blood pact mark still there?"
"It's gone."
Bubu's brows were tightly knit, "This is the strangest part. Logically, this blood pact cannot be undone.
If it weren't for our bloodline connection, we might not even be able to transfer the blood pact. I was already prepared to die, but now the blood pact has simply disappeared.
This is truly bizarre.
However… let's not think about it anymore."
Bubu took the initiative to end the topic.
It wasn't because she was unwilling to delve deeper, but because there was no point in investigating it.
Even in the era she lived in, existences at the Mahayana stage, or even above, could not easily erase the backlash of a blood pact.
Such existences were not something she could comprehend now.
"Now that we are in the void layer, that guy won't be able to find us for a while."
Bubu spoke again, outlining her future plans, "Since that guy has already lost Sen Jue, you and I no longer need to focus on him for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
After you gradually convert the origin of wood into gold or water, you can directly use one of the two immortal jades to establish your foundation."
"Okay!"
Yunze nodded in agreement. He then took out the two immortal jades and fell into a dilemma, "But which one do you think I should choose?"
"You originally have fire and wood spiritual roots. After obtaining Xin Jue and Miao Jue, you gained gold and water spiritual roots.
Logically, it would be best for you to find Yan Jue or Sen Jue to establish your foundation, but now we have to make do.
Bubu's gaze shifted between Xin Jue and Miao Jue, finally settling on Xin Jue, "Let's go with Xin Jue.
Although your sword dao talent is weak, you have the blessings of two inheritances. Even an idiot could enter the Dao Condensation realm. If you establish your foundation with Xin Jue, becoming an immortal will be a matter of time.
Furthermore, you can transform into a gold spirit, attaching yourself to any metal. Any weapon forged from metal will be unable to harm you.
The gold spiritual root will advance to the Heavenly rank spiritual root, and your cultivation of gold-element techniques will be twice as effective, and all gold-element techniques will be unable to harm you."
"Then what if I establish my foundation with Miao Jue?" Yunze asked curiously.
Bubu patiently explained, "Miao Jue is similar to Xin Jue. The additional benefit for you is that it can nourish your wood-element spiritual root, and as time goes by, the rank of your spiritual root will also increase.
However, your sword dao might only be able to remain at the Dao Condensation realm."
Both had their pros and cons.
Yunze frowned and pondered for a few breaths, then looked up at Bubu, "Then…"
"What if I use both?"
"Huh!?"
Bubu let out a soft hum, tilting her head.
Use both?
This… it wasn't impossible!
Since the birth of immortal jades, the method of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had always relied on these immortal jades.
Before the Five Elements Immortal Jades appeared, there were only four immortal jades for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
These four immortal jades belonged to four clans. The Heavenly Dao prodigies of the four clans established their foundations, naturally, they could only use the immortal jade inherited by their own clan.
Among these four immortal jades, the Immortal and Demon jades could not coexist, while the Universe and Cosmos jades were too immense. It was difficult to be recognized by even one of them, let alone two.
No one had ever considered what would happen if one established their foundation with multiple immortal jades.
Yunze had indeed provided a new idea!
The ancestors of this guy's family had been influenced by two immortal jades for hundreds of years. Even in their sealed state, there had been some influence.
This was why, after his birth, he could be recognized by two immortal jades simultaneously.
Now, the origin of wood in his body was accumulated by Disha over thousands of years, and it was inherently more profound than the origin of ordinary foundation establishment.
If it were to be divided into two portions…
No, that wouldn't work!
Bubu shook her head slowly at this thought, "This won't work. You control Xin Jue and Miao Jue, and gold generates water.
If you only use one of them to establish your foundation, it's fine. But if you use both, Xin Jue will be suppressed by Miao Jue, and the origin of gold in your body will collapse sooner or later, and your spiritual sea will collapse with it.
Unless…"
"Unless what?"
"Sen Jue."
Bubu uttered two words, then quickly said, "Water generates wood. If you can find Sen Jue, you can suppress the momentum of Miao Jue!
Wood generates fire, and combined with your original fire-element spiritual root, it can generate earth momentum!
Don't you have a pair of Glazed Eyes in your spatial ring? That thing is of earth element!
Even if you don't have an earth spiritual root, you can use it to increase your gold momentum, and then you can temporarily achieve the cycle of the five elements!
If you find the immortal jades of the other two attributes in the future, you can gradually replace them."
"Wait."
Yunze suddenly interrupted, "Since Glazed Eyes can replace Yao Jue, why can't we find other wood-element treasures to replace it?"
"It's not that easy to find."
Bubu frowned and shook her head, "Glazed Eyes can be replaced because it is a treasure born from flesh and blood, not something forged later.
Unless you can find a treasure of the wood element born from flesh and blood, you cannot temporarily replace Sen Jue."
A wood-element treasure born from flesh and blood…
Yunze pondered for a long time, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He looked up at Bubu.
At this moment, Bubu was also looking at him.
They looked at each other, knowing what the other was thinking.
"Disha wanted Xiao Shu's blood to forge flesh and blood, right?" Yunze asked first.
In fact, when he saw Disha transform into a late-stage Core Formation spirit beast, he had thought of when he had transformed into a water spirit before.
If he had his own physical body, why would he appear in that form?
Coupled with his request for Xiao Shu's blood, Yunze immediately thought that he did not have a physical body now!
Then, wasn't he himself a treasure born from flesh and blood now?
"Yes."
Bubu gave Yunze a positive answer, "You are truly a madman."
"You flatter me…"
Yunze knew they had the same idea, "So, shall we take a gamble?"
"First, divide your origin into five portions and convert them into gold, water, and fire. After you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, I will help you convert the earth-element origin."
"Okay!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yunze knew that she had agreed to take a gamble!
Disha!
Since you are destined to die, let your death be more valuable!
Yunze sat cross-legged, activated his origin, began to absorb spiritual energy, and with the power of Xin Jue and Miao Jue, he started to convert his origin.
Bubu waited in place for a while. After Yunze entered a state of deep meditation, she disappeared from her spot with a flash.
She did not leave the void layer but went to an aged figure.
Xiu Long let out a wry smile, the wrinkles on his face could crush mosquitoes, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
"Speak."
Bubu said calmly, "What did you see?"
