Vol.2-Chapter 84 – Foundation Realm

Only yin objects like zombies could form Yin Spirit Beads, and only talented ones at that. They had to at least be at the Foundation Realm, then they would have to find a spirit vein to refine their body and spirit force like humans. After fulfilling these conditions, they could condense their yin energy into a Yin Spirit Bead.

Every Yin Spirit Bead had a different attribute—it would depend on the spirit vein used. The Yin Spirit Bead would have the same attribute as the spirit vein. In general, after cultivating a Yin Spirit Bead, their strength would increase greatly. Their spirit force would also become more domineering because it had an attribute! It could be said that the Three-tailed Yin Cat was guaranteed to enter the Spirit Core Realm.

The greyish-white Yin Spirit Bead floated above the Three-tailed Yin Cat and exuded a greyish-white light. The bead was only the size of a grain of rice—the Three-tailed Yin Cat must have just started cultivating it. Zhao Jiuge deduced that there had to be a spirit vein nearby, but it shouldn’t be very big.

At this point, Zhao Jiuge’s heart became somewhat numb, and the joy from injuring the Three-tailed Yin Cat had disappeared. After all, the disparity in strength was big. Zhao Jiuge’s last chance was for the Lord of the Qing Feng Monastery to recover and hope he could do something. Zhao Jiuge pursed his lips and became determined.

The dim, golden dragons coiled in the air, flew up into the sky, and then dove into the ground. Seeing Zhao Jiuge not giving up, the Three-tailed Yin Cat became angry. It raised its head and the Yin Spirit Bead slowly rose up to the sky. The greyish-white light spread out and the surroundings suddenly became colder. The two golden dragons accelerated toward the Yin Spirit Bead.

The Three-tailed Yin Cat waved its paw with disdain, sending spirit force surging out. This spirit force was even stronger than before due to the attribute of the Yin Spirit Bead.

The monstrous spirit force swept past the two golden dragons, making them remain motionless like time had stopped. A few seconds later, the two golden dragons slowly dissipated. Zhao Jiuge coughed out a mouthful of blood—the backlash caused intense pain in his dantian. All the meridians in his body were damaged to a certain degree, and his entire body felt like it was freezing.

The Three-tailed Yin Cat had cultivated a Yin Spirit Bead with the cold attribute—it must have found a spirit vein before with a cold attribute. Zhao Jiuge’s body trembled while thinking. Then he checked his own physical condition and couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

The blood on the corner of his mouth was very eye-catching and his face was as white as wax. He was seriously injured and he had less than 10% of his spirit force left. Zhao Jiuge had somewhat resigned to his fate.

But at this moment, he relaxed. He had done his best, and he let out a mouthful of foul air. He then looked at the moon hanging up in the sky. Zhao Jiuge couldn’t help but feel emotional. He was not afraid of death, he was afraid of not fulfilling the promise he had made to the teary-eyed girl when he chose to enter the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect. Also, he was a bit reluctant. When he joined the sect, he thought he was close to catching that woman, but now she seemed so far away.

The young man’s blue sword robe was covered in bloodstains that looked like embroidered flowers. The cloth that he had used to tie up his hair had been lost during the battle. His black hair was scattered, and the wind blew some of his black hair onto his handsome face.

Yu Qingshan suddenly seemed to age dozens of years and sighed. He knew that the young man had tried his best, and at his age, he didn’t regret too much. He only held his family a little tighter.

The Three-tailed Yin Cat confidently walked toward Zhao Jiuge. The Yin Spirit Bead floated in the sky, releasing a cold fog. When the Three-tailed Yin Cat was about three meters away from Zhao Jiuge, it stopped. Its green eyes glowed while looking at Zhao Jiuge, and it licked its lips.

Zhao Jiuge smiled softly. Was it prepared to suck his essence blood? Zhao Jiuge was calm, like he had seen through everything. His slightly childish face became old. While he was looking at the Three-tailed Yin Cat, his mind was thinking about his childhood.

A soft sword melody echoed and interrupted Zhao Jiuge’s thoughts. He looked down at the Blue Plum Sword in his hand. It had already dimmed, but it was letting out a soft hymn.

Seeing the sword in his hand, Zhao Jiuge’s originally furrowed brows returned to normal and he became determined.

The path of cultivation was life or death every step of the way. He had just joined the sect—was he going to let himself die here? Not even his partner, his sword, had given up, so how could he give up? How could the path of cultivation be smooth? Everything depended on his own struggle. This world was too wonderful, and he had only seen a small corner of it. The future awaited him, he couldn’t fall here!

The more Zhao Jiuge thought, the brighter his eyes became. At this moment, his sword robe fluttered without any wind. He raised his head and coldly stared at the Three-tailed Yin Cat. At this moment, although the sword light around him was dim, his killing intent was surging.

Even though he had less than 10% of his spirit force left, he wouldn’t give up until the last moment. He was unwilling to submit to his fate.

Back at the cold water pool, he was looked down upon like an ant by that woman. That night, Zhao Jiuge questioned his heart to prove his dao. He was going to right all the unfairness in the world, kill all evil doers. At this moment, Zhao Jiuge’s dao heart became even more complete. A powerful person would experience transformations during life or death situations. Right now, Zhao Jiuge was on the path of undergoing a transformation.

Looking at Zhao Jiuge, who was covered in injuries but seemed a bit different, made the Three-tailed Yin Cat confused. Zhao Jiuge no longer looked pathetic like before, and his aura was somewhat different. However, victory was in its grasp, so the Three-tailed Yin Cat didn’t think about it. Thinking about how its cultivation level would increase once it absorbed Zhao Jiuge’s essence blood, the Three-tailed Yin Cat’s eyes were filled with greed and it licked its lips. The Three-tailed Yin Cat stepped forward. This time, it was not going to waste time.

The Three-tailed Yin Cat slowly walked toward the Zhao Jiuge. It thought he was merely putting up a dying struggle, but Zhao Jiuge shocked it once more. Zhao Jiuge also walked toward the Three-tailed Yin Cat. He had a smile on his face, and he raised the Blue Plum Sword before him. With each step, his momentum increased. He stared at the Three-tailed Yin Cat, who was filled with doubt, and laughed. He ignored the Three-tailed Yin Cat and continued to walk toward it.

“I’ll hold my sword and laugh at the heavens!”

Even when his strength wasn’t enough, he still had to face everything like a sharp sword.

No matter the result, he had to be worthy of himself, worthy of his heart, and most importantly, worthy of the sword in his hand.

The distance between the human and the cat became smaller and smaller—three meters, two meters, one meter. Zhao Jiuge was still walking calmly, but the Three-tailed Yin Cat could not hold back anymore. It pounced at Zhao Jiuge, intending to devour his essence blood to make itself stronger.

Looking at the surging spirit force before the cat, Zhao Jiuge was still as calm as water—his head had never been so clear before. When he could feel tingling pain on his face, the Blue Plum Sword in his hand moved.

He didn’t do anything fancy at all. His hand turned, he raised his hand, and the remaining spirit force inside his body surged into the sword. Then a ray of sword energy flew out.

It was still the Elucidation chapter, but at this moment, the sword energy was completely different from before—it seemed to be alive.

This ray of sword energy was like a lonely boat in the raging sea when facing the spirit force from the Three-tailed Yin Cat. However, no matter how dangerous the waves were, the lonely boat remained fearless.

This sword energy directly cut the Three-tailed Yin Cat’s terrifying spirit force and aimed for its head.

A splatter of blood erupted from the Three-tailed Yin Cat’s head and then it fell to the ground, dead. Its eyes were wide open from disbelief, and one could see its skull in the large wound on its head. historical

Zhao Jiuge was also startled and didn’t understand. However, he suddenly noticed the surrounding spiritual energy surging into his body.

The originally dried-up spirit force in his dantian was recovering like crazy. A vortex had appeared in his dantian, and the crazy influx of spiritual energy was being absorbed by this vortex.

Zhao Jiuge’s eyes were suddenly filled with joy—the good fortune had come too abruptly.

After his breakthrough to the Foundation Realm, Zhao Jiuge laughed out loud. He had reached the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm a while back, but he had been stuck in a bottleneck. Today, he had reached the Foundation Realm. Before, he could only hold a cup of spirit force, but now he could hold an entire vat.

He had actually reached the Foundation Realm using the Elucidation chapter. No wonder that ray of sword energy was different—it seemed it was alive.

Sword cultivators relied on killing to improve. Zhao Jiuge had suddenly reached the Foundation Realm, catching the Three-tailed Yin Cat completely caught off guard. Zhao Jiuge felt like he had just survived a trial, and not only was he still alive, he even had a breakthrough. No wonder riches could be found with danger. After experiencing a life or death situation, one’s strength would increase greatly. Every powerful person had gone through countless life or death situations to obtain their strength.

Seeing the Three-tailed Yin Cat dead, the Yu family felt like they had just survived a trial as well. At the same time, they were very happy. When they determined that the Three-tailed Yin Cat was no longer a threat, they all came out into the messy yard. They looked at the Three-tailed Yin Cat’s body and chattered nonstop.

Yu Qingshan cried tears of joy since the problem that had been troubling him for the past several months was resolved. Everyone was still immersed in the joy of surviving such a calamity. Zhao Jiuge was not expection, and he felt his body go soft.

At this moment, because of the Three-tailed Yin Cat’s death, the Yin Spirit Bead that was floating in the sky fell to the ground. But a big hand with dried skin reached out and firmly grasped the Yin Spirit Bead.
