Chapter 393: Chapter 213: Two Paths
"Hmm! Go ahead! It won’t take you long to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Perhaps we’ll meet again in less than a month."
Li Yunjing chuckled softly, stepped forward, and gently embraced Yu Yunyi before sending her onto the teleportation array.
The Outer Disciples nearby watched with envy.
Senior Brother Li has been in high spirits recently; not only is his strength formidable, but he has also managed to woo Senior Sister Yu Yunyi, a true disciple. How impressive!
These Outer Disciples had no idea that Li Yunjing had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If they knew, they would probably be shocked.
"Hmm! I’ll come out as soon as possible! Wait for me!"
On the teleportation array, Yu Yunyi adjusted the coordinates, her gaze towards Li Yunjing full of complexity.
Having just experienced intimate contact, they were about to part ways. Even Yu Yunyi felt a bit reluctant. Despite her mastery in Daoist Skill, she was still a woman yearning for love.
"Hmm! I’ll wait for you!"
Li Yunjing smiled and waved at Yu Yunyi.
"Boom!"
As the teleportation array activated, the Spirit Stones in the recesses around it burned, transforming into a swirling energy that radiated outwards, forming a layer of light. Yu Yunyi’s graceful figure disappeared within a flash of clear light inside the light shield.
After Yu Yunyi left and the phenomena on the teleportation array ceased, Li Yunjing stepped onto the array, adjusted the coordinates, and directly teleported back to Seven Stars Peak.
At Guest Welcoming Peak, only a group of Mountain Patrol Disciples remained, enviously watching the vanished pair...
It was deep winter, with yellow leaves falling and silver frost everywhere.
Returning to Seven Stars Peak, standing midway up the mountain, looking at the summit above and the area below, Li Yunjing felt quite emotional.
This was his home!
Having left for a while and witnessed the dark side of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Li Yunjing cherished his days at Shenxiao Dao Sect even more.
"Senior Brother Li, you’ve returned from your training?"
A few Inner Sect Disciples guarding the teleportation array greeted Li Yunjing with smiles.
At Seven Stars Peak, it was rare for anyone to leave; trips were few and far between. Li Yunjing was one of the few who frequently used the teleportation array on the mountainside to come and go from Seven Stars Peak.
The Inner Sect Disciples guarding the teleportation array were very familiar with Li Yunjing.
"Haha! Just got back! Has everything been peaceful on the mountain lately?"
Li Yunjing greeted them and asked casually.
"Everything is fine! Our Seven Stars Peak remains as usual!"
An Inner Sect Disciple replied with a smile.
Although everyone was of the same disciple rank, at Seven Stars Peak, positions varied greatly due to Li Yunjing’s high standing as a Tier One Array Master.
Such a person, within a smaller clan or sect, might already be considered Elder Level.
In terms of status, few Inner Sect Disciples at Seven Stars Peak could compare to Li Yunjing.
Thus, they were very respectful towards Li Yunjing.
"Everyone, I’m heading up now!"
Li Yunjing smiled and gestured towards Seven Stars Peak.
"Take care, Senior Brother Li!"
The others responded.
On his way up, Li Yunjing greeted many fellow Mountain Patrol Disciples. Starting from the mountainside, he ascended to the cloud-shrouded summit of Seven Stars Peak, entering Seven Star Palace.
Inside Seven Star Palace, it was spring all year round. Unlike other places, the palace was always enveloped in an array, maintaining the most comfortable environment year-round.
Upon entering Seven Star Palace, Li Yunjing’s mood brightened significantly.
Li Yunjing did not return to his Qiuwu Manor but directly activated a Communication Talisman to send a message to Xu Wuyi. After confirming that the vice peak master was in his office and had time to meet him, Li Yunjing headed straight to the Council Hall.
Li Yunjing commanded great respect wherever he went. After greeting the guards at the entrance, he headed directly to the third floor and found Vice Peak Master Xu Wuyi.
"You’ve advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
As soon as he saw Li Yunjing, Xu Wuyi’s mouth gaped open in shock. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
He sprang up from his chair, placing both hands on the desk, staring straight at Li Yunjing, barely believing his eyes. A cultivator advancing from Qi Refining Realm to First Heaven of Foundation Establishment Realm in under two years!
What kind of miracle was this?
Advancing a realm every two months?
Is this even human?
Reflecting on his past, Xu Wuyi had taken over a decade to advance from Qi Refining Realm to Foundation Establishment Realm.
Even then, Xu Wuyi was regarded as a prominent genius among his close circle.
Back then, sect elders praised him, peers envied him, and Xu Wuyi enjoyed his heyday as a prodigy. But now, seeing Li Yunjing reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, he felt a mix of emotions.
Comparison can be infuriating!
Xu Wuyi had been shocked by Li Yunjing’s progress many times before, but each time, Li Yunjing’s achievements were more astounding, this time breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, leaving Xu Wuyi in utter disbelief!
According to Xu Wuyi’s calculations, Li Yunjing would need to temper and settle himself for at least another year or two before having a chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This situation was entirely unexpected and hard to accept.
"Heh, heh! No way around it! Genuine Foundation Establishment Realm!"
"I originally planned to advance my cultivation in two years, participate in the Inner Sect competition, and take first place!"
"But now there’s no chance, missed out on a lot of resources!"
Li Yunjing sat in his chair, skillfully using Xu Wuyi’s teapot to brew Spirit Tea, sipping it leisurely.
