Chapter 191: Heart Eye Linguistics, the Fall of the Foundation Establishment Elder of Immortal Mist
Translator: 549690339
Of course, three years was still too short a time.
Despite managing to advance his swordsmanship cultivation to an upper tier of the second stage, his progress on Alchemy Dao, runes, and formations was minimal.
The same was true for various skill progressions.
After all, this is the reality of cultivation—if you don’t practice diligently, there’s no advancement in your abilities.
Not only will you not progress, but sometimes you can even regress.
This is why ordinary cultivators usually specialize in only one path and would
not dabble in other paths.
Because human energy is finite, and so is time.
It’s impossible for everyone to forge ahead and make progress on every path, to reap rewards and become versatile in all aspects.
If it weren’t for the help of the Book Worm, Zhou Sui would not dare to do so.
Otherwise, no matter how long his lifespan is, it would not be enough to sustain his consumption.
Of course, besides these, the biggest progress he made was in his Seven
Apertures Spirit Secret.
Now, he was beginning to form his third Heart Eyes.
This Heart Eye was named “Heart Eye Linguistics”.
Once it is formed, one will be able to understand the language of all things.
Honestly, this ability is quite important.
Because in the Cultivation World, there are countless races and beings, each with their different languages.
If one can master the languages of these beings, then no matter where you go, you are like a local, and never fear being unable to adapt to unfamiliar places.
At noon, Zhou Sui returned to the living room of Immortal Mist Peak.
His wives and concubines had already prepared lunch. The table was loaded with a dazzling array of dishes, all giving off tantalizing aromas.
Through years of practice, their cooking skills had improved greatly.
Each dish was so appetizing that it made people drool.
Whoosh!
Right now, Leng Yuexi hurried back from outside, her face solemn, as if something big had just happened.
“Yuexi, what happened? Has something big happened to the Immortal Mist
Sect?”
Zhou Sui asked curiously.
He could tell from Leng Yuexi’s expression that definitely something serious had happened. Otherwise, Leng Yuexi would not have such an expression – it was very rare of her.
“Indeed, something big has happened.
“Didn’t I forcefully order that no cultivator from the Immortal Mist Sect was allowed to explore the Yuanying cave house of the old ancestor of the Blood
Shadow?”
“Unfortunately, some Foundation Establishment Elders didn’t obey the order.
“For example, Array Peak Master Yao Wen, Reward and Punishment Hall Master Xue Qiyang, Refining Equipment Hall Master Luo Dingtian, and others.” ■’They teamed up and headed to the Yuanying cave house of the old ancestor of the Blood Shadow.”
Leng Yuexi said in a deep voice.
“Oh, did they encounter some accident?”
Zhou Sui raised an eyebrow.
“Exactly.”
“During the process of trying to break the prohibition array of the Yuanying cave house, they accidentally suffered a backlash from the prohibition and were seriously injured on the spot.”
“After leaving the cave house, they even encountered an ambush by other foreign Foundation Establishment cultivators.”
“The result, as you can imagine, is that Luo Dingtian and Reward and Punishment Hall Master Xue Qiyang died on the spot, while Yao Wen barely survived and escaped back to the Immortal Mist Sect by risking his life.”
“Even so, he was seriously injured, losing one hand and one leg, and his root was damaged. He has no hope of reaching the Golden Core Realm in his lifetime, and he even failed to maintain his cultivation in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
Leng Yuexi said with a touch of helplessness.
“Luo Dingtian and Xue Qiyang are dead?”
“And Yao Wen is severely injured, becoming disabled, and has no hope for the Golden Core?!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui was speechless. Although he knew these Foundation Establishment elders of the Immortal Mist Sect might not get what they wished for by venturing to the Yuanying cave house to obtain treasures, Who could have imagined that they would die inside the cave house before it was fully decrypted.
Even Yao Wen barely managed to return to the Immortal Mist Sect alive, expending all his hidden knowledge.
It seemed that he basically had no hope of reaching the Golden Core stage in
his life.
He had originally thought these Foundation Establishment cultivators could cause him some trouble.
But now it seemed that they didn’t even have the chance to do so.
However, this also reflected a glimpse of the Cultivation World.
Because cultivation resources are scarce, every cultivator needs to take risks for breakthroughs.
But there is no such easy thing in the world.
Since it’s a risk, it’s impossible to profit every time.
Once failed, you will be completely wiped out.
Luo Dingtian and Reward and Punishment Hall Master Xue Qiyang were examples. They were elders of the Immortal Mist Sect, former prodigies with Upper Grade Spirit Roots.
But so what?
A moment’s carelessness led to their deaths and the complete severing of their cultivation path.
This is why Zhou Sui is reluctant to leave Immortal Mist Peak.
If he could cultivate safely and steadily here until he reaches the Golden Core stage, why should he take risks?
Especially in a dangerous place like the Yuanying Cave House, one never knows what unexpected factors there might be.
A little carelessness could lead to death inside the Yuanying Cave House.
“I didn’t expect such distinguished elders of the Immortal Mist Sect, who are Foundation Establishment cultivators and have been cultivating for many years, to die so easily. The Cultivation World is truly too dangerous.” Ji Bingyu said with emotion.
She had originally thought that Foundation Establishment cultivators should be able to live safely for more than two hundred years.
But now it seemed that the reality was not so.
Even cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm could lose their lives if they encounter danger.
“Master Husband was right.”
“Although the Yuanying cave house indeed contains many chances, it’s just too dangerous.”
“We’re not fortunate enough to enjoy these opportunities, it’s better for us to honestly practice in the Immortal Mist Sect.”
By now, Mu Ziyi increasingly agreed with her husband’s approach.
If her husband hadn’t been so cautious, never recklessly taking risks, they might not have been able to cultivate to their current stage or enjoy such a good cultivation environment.
If they continue to cultivate step by step, it’s very hopeful for them to reach the Golden Core stage.
“Sister Leng, it may not be a bad thing that these troublemakers are dead.” “They always seemed to respect you on the surface, but in reality, they would often disobey your orders.”
“Now that they’re dead, you can install your loyal followers to take their original positions.”
■’Especially that Array Peak Master Yao Wen, who has been gathering allies for these years. It’s said that he even once declared in front of many Foundation Establishment elders that after he forms his Golden Core, he would definitely remove you from office and become the leader of the Immortal Mist Sect.’ Xia Jingyan thought that it was good that these Foundation Establishment cultivators were dead.
Now, the Immortal Mist Sect was truly ruled by Leng Yuexi alone, her words carried absolute authority.
She also found Array Peak Master Yao Wen very ridiculous.
For the sake of Core Formation, he banded together, willingly took risks, and acted as if he was trying to start his own sect of the Immortal Mist Sect.
But in the end, he died during the exploration of the Yuanying cave house.
Basically, he had never caused them any trouble.
They had initially regarded him as a great foe and been wary, watching his every move closely.
Who could have imagined that before they could take action, he already died..
