31: Foundation building!

The feeling of controlling everything, of being omnipotent, left Chu Yuan somewhat mesmerized.

Whether it was the low-level Day of Vengeance believers in the city who killed on sight, the Supernatural Realm Martial Artists at the other five Formation eye locations, or the main force outside the city... all were instantly refined under the might of the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation!

Like ants...

Beads, lustrous and refined from pure Souls, containing a certain special power, kept appearing around Chu Yuan and were collected by him.

Robust Qi and blood were continuously poured into him, and Chu Yuan's aura rose level by level!

Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, Ninth Layer of Qi Refining... he soon touched the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

Chu Yuan exerted all his effort to operate the Evergreen Foundation Establishment Method, and a thick blood cocoon enveloped him...

He had originally thought about whether he would need a Foundation Establishment Pill or something similar to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, as that was what all those Cultivator novels he had read in his previous life had said.

But under the overwhelming magnitude of the life origin, any Bottleneck or barrier seemed to become a joke!

The Qi Sea in his Dantian was continuously compressed, converging into spiritual liquid, dripping down drop by drop.

His glabella swelled, as if something was about to burst forth...

...

Qi Da looked blankly at the blood cocoon in the sky; he could sense that Chu Yuan's aura was constantly growing stronger.

Combined with what he had seen before, and the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array... in fact, the source of Chu Yuan's strengthening was not hard to guess.

It was just some rebels; if they were sacrificed, they were sacrificed.

He was not such a rigid person that he felt Chu Yuan 'eating people' was wrong.

Qi Da was just wondering what excuse he should use later.

Some of the school's teachers and students had died under the previous extraction of the Blood Sucking Array, but most were still alive, though they had long since fallen into a coma.

Originally, there were a few Inner Breath Realm teachers who barely maintained consciousness, but Chu Yuan had a plan in place long before acting, and he had knocked them unconscious the moment he took over the Formation.

So they wouldn't see anything they shouldn't...

Therefore, the only people who knew the truth were actually him and Chu Yuan.

As long as the lie could be spun well, it wouldn't be hard to cover it up...

While he was mentally drafting his words, a powerful aura suddenly approached the First High School rapidly.

Qi Da's expression changed. So fast?

Glancing at the blood cocoon hanging in mid-air once more, he gritted his teeth and was about to go up to intercept it.

Suddenly, he saw the blood cocoon collapse, revealing Chu Yuan's figure inside...

...

"Thanks."

"It is I who should be thanking you." Jiang Fei's pale face revealed a faint smile. "Why do I feel like you have become stronger again?"

Chu Yuan took on the Incarnation of Mr. Lucky: "I was just lucky enough to have a small Breakthrough... It's fine now, hurry and take her to treat her wounds."

Jiang Fei glanced at the azure sky. "How do you know it's fine now? Do you know what happened?"

Although the calamity subsided not long after Chu Yuan left... no normal person would associate the root cause with him.

"Our Principal did it; I'm not clear on the specific details," Chu Yuan said vaguely.

"Alright... Add me on the terminal?"

"Sure."

Jiang Fei didn't dawdle; after adding the terminal, he carried Chen Yun away.

Chen Yun was severely injured; the physical injuries were not the most troublesome part, but rather the mental, or one could say, the Soul injuries.

Having been possessed by a strange entity, it was already not easy to have survived, so mental trauma was inevitable.

It would require precious medicine to treat...

For example, the kind of Soul-refined beads in Chu Yuan's hands.

But he obviously would not take this thing out.

Jiang Fei was one thing, but he had no friendship with Chen Yun.

The Zhenwu Bureau was a large organization with deep resources; it wasn't his turn to be the one showing off...

Taking Han Cui and Chu Ying back, Chu Yuan looked at the city beneath his feet.

Actually, it didn't look severely damaged; the Blood Sucking Array and Blood Sacrifice Grand Array mainly targeted living beings, rather than demonstrating destructive power.

It was just some building collapses caused by the aftermath of the battle...

But in reality, the main battlefield was outside the city, and the areas within the city that were implicated were not many.

Naturally, there would be people to handle these aftermath matters; things that needed rebuilding would be rebuilt, and things that needed repair would be repaired.

It was just those people who were slaughtered by the Day of Vengeance believers...

Chu Yuan did not bother with these matters that had nothing to do with him; he just wanted to hurry home and stabilize his Realm.

Driven by the massive life origin, his cultivation had now reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Of course, it wasn't that the life origin of so many high-level Martial Artists could only evolve him to this Realm, but that he was stuffed and couldn't eat anymore!

Another reason was that the cultivation Realm of the Evergreen Foundation Establishment Method ended at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If he wanted to continue Cultivating, he would have to find a new Cultivation Technique!

He did not waste the remaining life origin, but instead refined it into blood pills using the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation, which he now carried on him...

Compared to the Qi Refining Stage, in addition to stronger combat power and longer endurance, the Foundation Establishment Stage presented two important characteristics.

One is the ability to fly with one's Physical Body.

One is the birth of Divine Sense!

Compared to the former, Chu Yuan cared more about the latter!

Divine Sense, for a Cultivator, was an omnidirectional, dead-angle-free radar that could be turned on and off at will!

Whether it was searching for objects, fighting, or exploring... it could bring extremely powerful benefits.

What it consumed was merely some Mental Energy...

Although his Divine Sense was still quite weak now, covering a range of only a few hundred meters around him.

But who knew if there would be a day when a single thought could cover the entire planet?

...

"You mean to say that by relying on a strange treasure you obtained previously in a Secret Realm on the Outer Heaven Battlefield, you not only seized control of the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array but also modified the nature of the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array? Allowing it to instantly kill Fifth Realm Martial Artists and strange entities?" Ma Hui said gloomily.

Qi Da took a deep breath, his tone resonant and firm: "That's correct!"

"..." Ma Hui was speechless for a moment. "You might as well have said that a mysterious powerhouse passed by, found the Day of Vengeance people unpleasant, personally took control of the Formation, and then handed it to you..."

Qi Da frowned and asked in confusion: "I don't understand what you are talking about?

I have treasured that strange treasure for a long time, using it as a trump card... Using it here today can be considered not a waste!"

"Principal Qi... This is a Formation, not a living being!

If you said there was some strange treasure that could seize a living being's consciousness and raise their Realm... that would be normal!

But this is a Formation!

Could your 'strange treasure' summon a bunch of tiny Formation Master minions to modify the Formation patterns on the spot!?"

Qi Da blinked: "Right, isn't it amazing?"

Ma Hui's temple twitched: "I think your mouth is even more amazing..."

"I did save Chenyang City, after all; what kind of attitude is this?"

"...Sorry."
