Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?
Yun Ze never expected that Bu Bu would throw that young man away just to ask him this question!
He smiled helplessly and explained to Bu Bu, "It's useless. I'm telling you, I met someone, she used to be..."
"No need to say so much."
Bu Bu interrupted Yun Ze again and asked the same question: "I only ask you, do you want to establish a Heavenly Dao foundation?"
"...Yes!"
Whoever doesn't want it is a bastard!
Yun Ze had witnessed Dan Chenyu and knew how terrifying true prodigies in the world were. He had also just fought with Chen Xiao and knew the gap between himself and cultivators with years of accumulation.
If it weren't for the immortal jade, the sword seed, the destiny blood, and the sword qi that Wei Lanshu gave him, with his spiritual roots, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter this Secret Realm of Foundation Establishment!
Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
This legendary thing, if Bu Bu really had a way, he wouldn't mind trying!
"It's good that you want to."
Bu Bu replied, drew a line between her eyebrows, and condensed a drop of silver-gray blood.
She brought the blood to Yun Ze and said calmly, "Kneel."
"Huh?"
Yun Ze was stunned.
I treat you like a sister, and you actually want me to kneel to you?
"I'm telling you to kneel to the blood, not to me," Bu Bu said, as if she had seen through Yun Ze's thoughts.
Although Yun Ze was unwilling, he still knelt on one knee before the drop of silver-gray blood.
"Follow me and recite."
Bu Bu didn't care if he knelt on one knee or two, and said in a low voice: "Descendant Yun Ze, now heeds the call of heaven and earth."
"Descendant Yun Ze, now heeds the call of heaven and earth."
"Voluntarily join the Kong family of the Southeast, protect heaven and earth, guard all living beings, inherit the will of the ancient sages, and carry on the great cause of eternity!"
The Kong family!?
Yun Ze was obviously stunned and frowned at Bu Bu.
Bu Bu said calmly: "This method of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is a heritage of my Kong family. If you don't join the Kong family, I won't teach it to you."
"Your surname is Li," Yun Ze said calmly.
"Don't tell me you haven't guessed my origin yet."
Bu Bu said expressionlessly, as if talking about a trivial matter: "I am a reincarnated being. My surname in this life is Li, and my surname in the past life was Kong, named Ling Xian.
A name is just a title. If you are willing, you can continue to call me Bu Bu.
But none of this is important. Now you just need to tell me if you still want to establish a Heavenly Dao foundation."
"...If I join your Kong family, do I need to do anything?"
"No need to take the surname, no need to change the name, no need to change ancestors or sects."
Bu Bu said three "no need"s in a row, then stated the requirements: "You must protect heaven and earth, guard all living beings, inherit the will of the ancient sages, and carry on the great cause of eternity, and be recorded in the ancestral archives, supervised by the ancient sages."
"Great cause?"
Yun Ze could understand the first few requirements, but this great cause... he really didn't know what it was and dared not agree rashly.
"You are not qualified to know yet, but I can tell you that this great cause, like the previous ones, is for the benefit of heaven, earth, and all living beings. Do you dare to agree?"
"What is there to dare not!"
Yun Ze immediately agreed!
This is said to be joining the so-called Kong family, but it's more like joining an organization.
An organization passed down through generations under the name of a family.
The Immortal Mansion, the Guiwu Sword Sect, and Yu Ge's Pure World Society.
He had already joined several organizations inexplicably, so adding one more wouldn't be too much!
Yun Ze looked up at the drop of silver-gray blood and recited again: "Descendant Yun Ze, now heeds the call of heaven and earth!
Voluntarily join the Kong family of the Southeast, protect heaven and earth, guard all living beings, inherit the will of the ancient sages, and carry on the great cause of eternity!"
Bu Bu also recited the third sentence again: "Do not leak secret techniques, do not kill wantonly, do not bully the weak."
"Do not leak secret techniques, do not kill wantonly, do not bully the weak."
Bu Bu nodded slowly, a hint of relief in her eyes.
If it were in that era, for Yun Ze to join the Kong family with his aptitude would have been a fantasy.
But now, the ancient clans had long since disappeared, and it was uncertain if there were any of her kin left in the world.
She wandered in the human world like a rootless duckweed. If she wanted to rebuild the ancient clan, it would be impossible without help.
She had interacted with Yun Ze for a long time. Although his talent was insufficient, his character was excellent.
If he joined the Kong family, and she helped him establish a Heavenly Dao foundation, his future achievements, though not comparable to the prodigies of the ancient clan, would still be considered a strong contender in this era!
"Kong Ling Xian, the thirty-second generation descendant of the Kong family, bears witness!"
Bu Bu spoke again, staring intently at the drop of silver-gray blood: "I hope the ancient sages will approve!"
Hum!
With a buzzing sound, the drop of silver-gray blood trembled slightly and flew directly towards Yun Ze!
Yun Ze's heart trembled, as if he were being stared at by something terrifying, and he instinctively wanted to dodge!
"Don't move!" Bu Bu shouted angrily.
Yun Ze had no choice but to stay put, suppressing the fear in his heart, and continued to kneel on one knee.
The drop of silver-gray blood slowly circled over Yun Ze's head, then his neck, chest, sea of qi, and then his entire body, finally returning to the Sumeru ring on Yun Ze's fingertip.
"Take out the immortal jade!"
Yun Ze did not hesitate and immediately took out two pieces of immortal jade.
The drop of silver-gray blood trembled again, as if sensing something, and flew from the immortal jade towards Yun Ze's brow!
Hum!
Yun Ze only felt a tremor in his ears, and a majestic voice sounded in his mind.
"Granted!"
Instantly!
The sea of qi violently vibrated, and Yun Ze felt as if everything in his sea of qi was trembling in fear of something!
The destiny blood, the sword seed, and the sword qi obtained from Wei Lanshu were all huddled together like quails, not daring to move rashly!
The drop of Earth Soul Liquid had long since been pushed to a corner, as if pretending to be a speck of dust.
Then, the drop of silver-gray blood fell into the sea of qi.
Like a king who had descended upon the world, it surveyed everything in the sea of qi.
After a few breaths, it did not stay in the sea of qi, but emerged from it and stopped at Yun Ze's brow, motionless.
The oppressive aura slowly dissipated, and Yun Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hoo..."
He instinctively raised his hand to touch his brow, still lingering in fear: "What was that?"
"Bloodline."
Bu Bu replied indifferently, then looked at Yun Ze solemnly: "Remember, since I led you into this path, you are now also the thirty-second generation of the Kong family.
Our Kong family has no distinction between direct and collateral descendants. You and I are the last seedlings of the Kong family. Let's support each other in the future."
Yun Ze nodded silently, always feeling like there was something on his brow. He condensed a ball of clear water to reflect it.
He was shocked when he looked.
A silver-gray pattern had appeared on his brow. It looked extremely mysterious, yet also extremely conspicuous.
"Don't worry, it will disappear in twelve hours. It will only appear when you use our clan's secret techniques," Bu Bu explained casually, and then continued: "When you cultivate, focus your mind on the pattern, and you will comprehend our clan's secret techniques. What you are suited for and how much you can learn will depend on your own destiny. As for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment..."
"How about Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?"
Yun Ze quickly asked.
He joined the Kong family for this.
Longevity was secondary; the most important thing was that he wanted to become stronger!
Only by becoming stronger could he kill Ji Kun, turn his parents on the pair of waist drums into spirit artifacts, and help them open the path of spiritual cultivation!
If he could achieve Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, it would be much easier.
But Yun Ze never expected that Bu Bu's words would stun him.
"First, you must break through the nine realms of the Sea of Qi."
"Nine realms of the Sea of Qi!?"
Yun Ze was stunned.
Previously, he had taken two Nine Revolutions Qi Forging Pills and had already broken through to the eighth realm of the Sea of Qi.
But even if he was now in the eighth realm of the Sea of Qi, there was only one realm difference from the ninth, but this one realm was a world of difference!
The eighth realm of the Sea of Qi was 128 times, while the ninth realm was 256 times!
He had taken so many Qi Forging Pills and could feel the difficulty of expanding the Sea of Qi.
For every tenfold increase in the Sea of Qi, the efficacy of the Qi Forging Pill would be halved!
There was not just a difference of 128 times, but a difference of hundreds, or even thousands of times!
"Note, it's breaking through to the ninth realm of the Sea of Qi."
Bu Bu said as if it were a very simple matter: "Your Sea of Qi must reach the perfect state of three hundred and sixty-five times."
Yun Ze was completely dumbfounded.
Three hundred and sixty-five times?
How many Nine Revolutions Qi Forging Pills would that take, and how much spirit stone would it cost!
If he really established a foundation, could he still break through to the Core Formation stage? He might end up like that Senior Yun, stuck in the Foundation Establishment stage his whole life.
"Can I take back my words now?"
Yun Ze looked at Bu Bu with a wry smile: "Actually, Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment is also quite good. There's no need to be an anomaly, right?"
"It can't be taken back."
Bu Bu replied, and with a wave of her hand, a spatial rift appeared: "Remember, you cannot speak of this matter to anyone else before you complete your foundation establishment."
Yun Ze was about to nod when he saw a figure emerge from the rift!
It was the young man from before.
"Yo, finished talking?"
The young man looked at Bu Bu: "Bu Bu, you've met this person, so can we go back now? If we stay any longer, I'm afraid my father will worry."
Bu Bu did not answer, but retorted: "Where is the thing I asked you to bring?"
"Here."
The young man casually opened a space and took out a Qiankun bag: "I say, are you really going to give it to him? Just a crying waste, what a waste of this pill?"
Yun Ze frowned and just looked at the young man.
He could feel that this young man was in the Foundation Establishment realm, and was very likely the contemporary successor of the Xiu family - Xiu Long!
It was said that this person was arrogant and looked down on everything since childhood, extremely arrogant and domineering.
This was information he had gathered from Luo Shang, and it seemed to be true.
"Xiu Long, is it?"
"It is your young master, me!"
Xiu Long retorted: "Kid, you're not convinced, are you? Then let's spar?"
Before Yun Ze could speak, Bu Bu tore open another rift and kicked the guy into it.
Yun Ze stood there stunned, and heard Bu Bu say again: "Time is tight, don't bother with this guy."
She handed the Qiankun bag to Yun Ze: "Eat it, I'll help you refine it."
Yun Ze had already guessed that this contained Qi Forging Pills, but when he opened the Qiankun bag, he was still stunned!
It was indeed Qi Forging Pills, but they were all Nine Revolutions Qi Forging Pills, and... a Qiankun bag full of Nine Revolutions Qi Forging Pills!
He couldn't help but look up at Bu Bu and subconsciously asked, "Did you... did you rob the Dan Venerable's mansion?"
"Didn't rob."
Just as Yun Ze was about to ask about the origin of the pills, he heard Bu Bu add again.
"Borrowed."
"...The Dan Venerable agreed?"
"He wasn't in the mansion at the time."
"So..."
"We took it ourselves."
Yun Ze: ???
What's the difference between this and robbery!
