Chapter 749: Chapter 318: Thunderous Critical Strike, Instant Kill on Foundation Establishment

This was the conclusion Chu Lingguang drew from Xue Bin’s expression as he killed him.

"I feel like I’ll never be able to reach your level in this lifetime."

Xuanyuan Jinkang said sincerely.

"If you cultivate diligently, you’ll be able to achieve it in the future,"

Chu Lingguang said encouragingly.

"Chu Lingguang is right. If Yuanchu Mountain can’t help you, you can come cultivate at the Profound Celestial Sect. Chu Lingguang and I can give you a recommendation,"

Li Qiushui chimed in encouragingly.

She could tell Chu Lingguang was intentionally hiding something.

But it never occurred to her to even consider Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

She just assumed Chu Lingguang had achieved Divine Dao Foundation Establishment.

This realm was not to be underestimated. Even in the Profound Celestial Sect, not many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could reach this stage.

As for the Thunderbolt Light that had descended from the heavens, Li Qiushui didn’t believe Chu Lingguang had drawn it down with a Foundation Establishment Compass. Instead, she thought it had erupted forth like a Magic Technique or Divine Ability.

She was just curious as to when Chu Lingguang had mastered such a powerful Divine Ability.

A celestial thunder capable of obliterating a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was far more powerful than any Divine Thunder Talisman or even the Sky Thunder Control Skill.

She distinctly remembered that Chu Lingguang lacked any Magic Techniques for cultivation.

She had even been the one to teach him the Sword Control Technique.

"I guess this is the only way for now. If I can’t make it at Yuanchu Mountain, don’t you two forget what you said today,"

Xuanyuan Jinkang reminded them.

Regardless, he was filled with curiosity about Great Qin and the Profound Celestial Sect.

After all, the Seventh Prince Yun Shu, Yun Hong, Qin Yu, and the others were all cultivating at the Cyan Cloud Sect in Great Qin—even Tuoba Yunhong was there.

And of course, there was Yan Zhen—the one who had always suppressed him so much he could barely breathe, and who had since vanished without a trace.

With Chu Lingguang now wanting to go to Great Qin as well, it was impossible for Xuanyuan Jinkang not to harbor some fantasies about the place.

And so, the three of them set out once more.

After a Spiritual Qi storm and receiving a blessing of Spiritual Power from the Tree Vine Demon, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, already teeming with savage beasts, saw its population of Demon Beasts increase by the day.

There were even Great Demons at the Foundation Establishment Realm lying in ambush throughout the forests.

This was especially true in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The level of danger here was comparable to the Ancient Perilous Land in Great Qin; even an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn’t dare to cross it directly as Chu Lingguang and his companions were doing.

Fortunately, Chu Lingguang could freely manipulate and fuse the Five Elements Power. The Foundation Establishment Realm Great Demons in the forest could sense his immense strength from his aura, so along the way, only a few foolish Little Demons, incapable of discerning his power, harassed the trio.

This provided a good opportunity for Li Qiushui and Xuanyuan Jinkang to get some training.

「Three days later.」

The trio reached the coastline.

Even if you escort a friend a thousand miles, the time to part must eventually come. Chu Lingguang had so much he wanted to say to Xuanyuan Jinkang. Because of Eunuch Liu, he hoped Xuanyuan Jinkang would be able to break through every barrier and successfully achieve Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

As they parted ways, Chu Lingguang gave the Storage Pouch he had taken from Xue Bin to Xuanyuan Jinkang. He warned him not to flaunt his wealth, explaining that the Storage Pouch was exceptionally valuable and that he should guard it carefully. Alternatively, he could find an opportunity to hand it over to Yuanchu Mountain in exchange for a powerful Cultivation Technique.

Xuanyuan Jinkang was deeply moved. He hesitated several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he just watched as Chu Lingguang and Li Qiushui vanished over the sea’s horizon. Gazing in the direction they had disappeared, he clutched the Storage Pouch in his hand and said to himself, "Chu Lingguang, from here on, I’ll walk the path on my own. I won’t disappoint my master, and I won’t disappoint you."

Xuanyuan Jinkang turned and flew toward Yuanchu Mountain.

「Demon Sect.」

A powerful cultivator sensed that the position of Xue Bin’s Storage Pouch’s aura was shifting.

He sent a message through his Jade Scroll.

"The target suddenly changed direction! He’s not at the coast; it looks like he’s heading for Yuanchu Mountain. All of you, move faster! The aura on the Storage Pouch is about to fade."

Deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Jade Scroll on a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator began to vibrate. Guided by his Spiritual Power and a Magic Technique, he soon heard the voice.

With a gaze as sharp as a torch, he immediately shot off in the direction of Yuanchu Mountain, intending to intercept and kill Xuanyuan Jinkang.
