“You…” Xie Haocui couldn’t help but vomit out the congestion in his heart when he heard Li Tianyan. His vision went dark and he fainted, but Wei Yang caught him quickly with his sharp eyesight.

After instructing a junior brother to take care of Xie Haocui, Wei Yang bowed to Li Tianyan and said, “Fellow Cultivator Li, don’t be surprised. Junior Brother Xie just seriously injured by a trusted person. It was difficult to accept for a while. If there was any offense, I apologize to Cultivator Li on behalf of my junior brother.”

After Wei Yang finished speaking, he couldn’t help but look at the corpse on the ground. Geng Kai had followed Xie Haocui for many years and had always obeyed his orders. Suddenly, he was plotted against by the other party and almost died in the Spiritual Medicine Valley. Junior Brother Xie must have been hit hard.

“No worry,” Li Tianyan glanced at Wei Yang before continuing, “Your plan to enter the valley should be fueled by this person.”

Wei Yang thought about it carefully, and it became clearer in his mind, “People from the Shura Sect… I am really ashamed that there was someone among us all this time without even realizing it.”

The faces of the other disciples also showed embarrassment. When they heard that Tianfan Immortal Sect had a member of Shura Sect invaded in their sect, Haoyue Immortal Sect was a bit disdainful. Tianfan Immortal Sect was a third-rate sect, and it was only because of lax censorship that people could take advantage of it.

However, thinking of the divine fire chisel, Wei Yang still hesitated and said, “The divine fire chisel is the magic weapon of Elder Yue Huo of the sect. I wonder if Cultivator Li could…”

“Tell him that if he wants the divine fire chisel, he should ask Elder Yue Huo to come in person to take it.” After Li Tianyan finished speaking, he glanced at the unconscious man behind him.

Wei Yang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and was about to say something else, but saw Li Tianyan’s expression suddenly change, and he disappeared without a trace.

Seeing him suddenly run away, the disciples of Haoyue Immortal Sect looked at Wei Yang with worried faces, “Senior Brother Wei, what should we do now?”

“If the divine fire chisel falls into the hands of others, how can we explain to the elders after leaving the secret realm?”

“Senior Brother Wei, Li Tianyan’s appearance was too coincidental. Could he have ulterior motives like Senior Brother Xie said?”

“But if Li Tianyan hadn’t saved us just now, we would all have died in the valley, and the divine fire chisel would have been taken away by Shura Sect.”

Thinking of those fellow disciples who could not be saved, the faces of those disciples who had just escaped death became solemn.

Seeing everyone’s reactions, Wei Yang was about to speak when the spiritual energy around him suddenly surged violently, clouds gathered in the sky, and strange phenomena appeared.

“This is a foundation-establishment celestial phenomenon. There are cultivators here who want to build a foundation,” a female cultivator pointed at the phenomena not far away and spoke.

“Look, Li Tianyan is on top of the mountain where the phenomena appeared. Could it be that he is guarding the people building the foundation?”

Wei Yang looked up at the sky and was surprised. “Li Tianyan’s Taoist companion’s aura has a pure purple fire. It seems the one building the foundation is Cheng Qi from Tianfan Immortal Sect.”

“But I remember that shuanger is only eighteen years old like Cheng Yu. Could it really be him who building the foundation?”

“In this secret realm, I can’t find another person who can make such a celestial phenomenon,” Wei Yang said with a firm tone. “If it were someone else, I might have guessed wrong, but the aura of that shuanger is unique. Not just in the secret realm, but in the entire Haoyue Immortal Sect.”

Several qi-condensation cultivators looked at the phenomena in mid-air and couldn’t help but feel envious. “I remember during the competition, this person was at the late stage of the ninth level of qi-condensation, and now he is about to build the foundation.”

“It turns out that Li Tianyan is here guard someone for the retreat,” someone in the team said, and everyone suddenly realized.

Realizing they were the ones who intruded into someone else’s secluded place first, and when they were in trouble, the other party kindly came to their rescue, but they in turn suspected ill intentions, the disciples of Haoyue Immortal Sect looked at each other and felt a bit embarrassed.

Li Tianyan, however, paid no attention to what others thought. He returned to the cave where Cheng Qi was retreating, remaining vigilant about his surroundings while observing the strange phenomena above. He noticed that the aura of the nether fire in the clouds was pure and strong, seemingly capable of burning even the sky, much like Cheng Qi’s. It matched perfectly with the Nether Fire Burning Life Technique that Cheng Qi practiced.

Unlike other cultivators who were building foundations, Cheng Qi’s celestial phenomena had not brewed for long, yet the clouds were already so thick they seemed ready to burst.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, a purple dragon made of true spiritual energy soared into the sky. The dragon was lifelike, with finely detailed scales and whiskers, resembling a living mythical beast. It merged seamlessly with the celestial phenomena as it submerged into the clouds.

“So fast. This person’s foundation-building celestial phenomenon condensed and completed so quickly.”

“A dragon? His true spiritual energy transformed into a dragon.”

“I heard Li Tianyan also transformed into a dragon with true spiritual energy when building his foundation. These two are truly worthy as a match made in heaven.”

“Look, the real dragon swallowed the clouds in one bite. Is this person so attuned to the celestial phenomenon?”

“Is it… done?”
