Chapter 267: Why did you all harm me?
"Foundation Establishment... Mr. Yang has achieved Foundation Establishment!" Liu Xingbang exclaimed in surprise.
"It is said that Mr. Yang is sixty-one years old, and he has actually achieved the Foundation Establishment stage!" Ding Dayou was surprised and couldn't help but whisper.
The man before them walked leisurely on the Qi River, a skill clearly possessed only by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Qi-refining cultivators can only control artifacts and travel by flying through the clouds and riding the wind.
It's impossible to walk in mid-air like that, so leisurely and carefree.
"A Foundation Establishment at sixty is a rare feat, even in the entire cultivation world of Chu, it's a once-in-a-century occurrence!" Zhou Sheng took a deep breath.
"Judging from Mr. Yang's aura, the foundation he has built is extraordinary, at least reaching the middle grade of the second rank," Su Chaoyun said.
"No... I see that Mr. Yang's aura is very strong, and the immortal foundation he has built should have reached the second-tier upper grade!" Zhou Sheng said.
"Even a man in his sixties can build a second-tier superior-grade..." Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Having a powerful sect behind you is truly extraordinary!" Lin Yuge said leisurely, his eyes filled with envy.
Then, the group exchanged glances and stepped out of the hall.
Tan Jiuling also stepped out and personally came out of the hall to greet them.
Originally, Yang Jiuli had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage by the age of sixty, and Tan Jiuling was somewhat wary of him.
However, this is all because of the three-tiered immortal sect behind them.
Now that he saw the young man successfully establish his foundation, he had no choice but to suppress any slight underestimation he might have felt.
It should be noted that even in the third-tier immortal sects, very few cultivators achieve Foundation Establishment at the age of sixty.
As for the aristocratic families under the rule of the immortal sects...
In the six hundred years of the Chu Kingdom, not a single person had ever emerged like this.
Mr. Yang has clearly broken this record and created a miracle.
Such achievements are clearly not simply due to having the backing of a powerful sect; one must possess extraordinary abilities of one's own.
High in the sky.
The azure Qi River surged forth, roaring as it came, and stopped in the air above the training ground in front of the palace.
Yang Jiuli descended from the sky with a lotus flower at each step, landing on the ground.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the azure energy swirled and transformed into a river that flowed into his dantian.
Beneath his feet, a blue light still shone, like a blue lotus supporting him, keeping him untouched by dust.
"Greetings, Mr. Yang!" As Yang Jiuli landed, the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators stepped forward together and bowed in greeting.
Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like Tan Jiuling was no exception.
"Congratulations, Mr. Yang, on establishing your immortal foundation! From this day forward, may your immortal fortune soar to the heavens, and may you live forever!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Yang, on establishing your immortal foundation! From this day forward, may your immortal fortune soar to the heavens, and may you live forever!"
Congratulations rang out in unison.
"I've kept you all waiting!" Yang Jiuli gestured, indicating that there was no need for further formalities, and said.
"I dare not trouble you like this, Mr. Yang, please forgive me!" Liu Xingbang said with a bow, his voice tinged with apology.
The people next to him also bowed, looking apologetic.
"Everyone, please!" Yang Jiuli gestured for everyone to enter the hall.
With smiles on their faces, the crowd made way for Yang Jiuli to go first.
Yang Jiuli stepped into the main hall and headed straight for the main seat on the platform.
Inside the main hall, everyone took their seats in turn.
"Mr. Yang, we have come here abruptly to respectfully request that you take charge of the overall situation and uphold justice for all ethnic groups in the Nanling Mountains."
Inside the hall, everyone exchanged glances, and then Liu Xingbang stood up, cupped his hands towards Yang Jiuli on the platform, and spoke.
Inside the hall.
A maidservant stepped forward and poured wine for everyone.
Yang Jiuli remained calm, not even glancing at Liu Xingbang, the eldest prince, but instead waving his hand.
Light patterns flickered within the spirit beast pouch, accompanied by a surge of demonic energy.
"This is..." Upon seeing this, Liu Xingbang was filled with surprise.
Then, everyone saw two tiger-sables appear and land on Yang Jiuli's left and right respectively.
The two creatures lay prostrate at his feet, rubbing their heads against them, appearing quite docile.
Yang Jiuli took out two first-tier spirit fruits and fed them to the two big guys.
"A second-tier great demon..."
Inside the main hall, the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the two armchairs on either side narrowed their eyes and stared intently at the two tiger-sables.
The cultivators in the hall were all at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.
Even Zhang Chengyuan, for example, only had one person in his clan who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Currently, two of Mr. Yang's spirit pets have reached the second tier.
Comparing the two, he felt his breath catch in his throat.
It is said that there are some things between people that, if you are not born with them, you can never have them again.
"Having a third-tier immortal sect as a backer is truly remarkable. They effortlessly cultivated two second-tier great demons." Ding Dayou took a deep breath, his face full of envy. Even if they used the full strength of their clan, it would be impossible for them to cultivate another Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Why is Master Yang now training spirit pets?
They only believed that Yang Jiuli had acquired a large amount of resources from a third-tier immortal sect, which gave him this ability.
"It is said that Yang Jiuli entered the Ice River Valley a few months ago and encountered a second-tier Frost Jade Python..." Tan Jiuling thought to himself.
His face was solemn.
When he looked at Yang Jiuli, he showed a hint of apprehension.
Clearly, Tan Jiuling's intelligence was far superior to that of the other major Foundation Establishment families.
"Mr. Yang has always been low-key, but now he's revealing his true strength. Does he know we want to nominate him as the leader of the alliance? Is he trying to use this to show his power and take the throne?" Liu Xingbang's mind raced, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he pondered this.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators nearby exchanged glances, realizing there was a chance.
"Sir..." After a slight moment of joy, Liu Xingbang took a deep breath and continued speaking.
"I already know everything you have said!" However, before Liu Xingbang could say anything more, Yang Jiuli stroked the tiger-sable's head and then looked at Liu Xingbang, who was bowing in the main hall, and said calmly.
"Then sir..." Liu Xingbang tentatively looked at Yang Jiuli.
Ding Dayou and the others took a deep breath and looked at Yang Jiuli with expectant faces.
"The probability of 'Bright Moon Fairy' forming her core is already 70%..." Tan Jiuling thought to himself.
"At this time, Yang Jiuli had already established his foundation and would begin to build up his power in the Southern Ridge."
"At this point, he will inevitably have to go with the flow..."
A smile played on his lips, as if he were eagerly anticipating Yang Jiuli taking charge and becoming the leader of the alliance.
However, what the man in the blue robe said next on the platform made Tan Jiuling's pupils shrink.
"I am merely an alchemist, not skilled in combat... I usually only wish to raise spirit pets, grow flowers and herbs, and refine a few pills. The fact that I have been able to establish a foundation for immortality and extend my lifespan is already a blessing from heaven... I should cherish it."
"You all want me to become the alliance leader and confront a fake Core Formation cultivator head-on... Do you think I'm too old to live?"
"Or does Yang have some deep-seated grudge against you that would lead you to harm me like this?"
Yang Jiuli's tone was cold and sharp, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword when he looked at Liu Xingbang, causing the latter to break out in a cold sweat.
"No... Mr. Yang..." Liu Xingbang was taken aback. His thoughts were like a knot, and he didn't know how to say the thousand words and ten thousand excuses he had prepared. He only knew that he had offended Mr. Yang.
Beside them, the other five Foundation Establishment cultivators were also stunned, their minds going blank.
They then exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment, clearly not expecting Mr. Yang to respond in this way.
