Insufficient balance

  In the following time, various forces on Earth who thought they could get this spiritual instrument came one after another, including the Lingxiu Bureau headquarters, the Shendu Bureau headquarters, the Western Church, the Esoteric Buddhist Sect, and the Islamic Holy Society. To know how many forces with built foundations are on Earth, perhaps you can count them from this desolate and uninhabited island.

  At this time, there were already more than a dozen gathering points set up on the beach of the small island, either ancient powers from all over the world or hidden departments of various countries.

  Suddenly, six monks flew down from the sky, all of whom were foundation-building cultivators. Two of them were familiar to Tang Hao - they were Ling Xuan and Lin Xiao. Although Lin Xiao's original divine instrument had been destroyed, he somehow managed to get his hands on a similar long spear and rode it over.

  Six foundation-laying monks came at once, which inevitably attracted everyone's attention. After all, before that, there were only three foundation-laying monks in the Western Church.

  Ling Xuan saw this phenomenon too, and a hint of pride appeared on her delicate face, as if the spiritual artifact was something she had in the palm of her hand.

  This made Katis a bit speechless, and she teased: "What era is this, still using spirit tools to fly, really thinking you're a Yuan Ying cultivator, can catch up with the speed of an airplane, a group of bumpkins." This Katis's personality indeed has some flaws, otherwise she wouldn't have been driven away by the Pope, of course, girls like them who are raised in luxury from a young age are generally this kind of personality.

  Ling Xuan's face turned bright red as she heard this. "You..." Lin Xiao interrupted, "Never mind, the spiritual device is urgent, we'll talk about other things later."

  Ling Xuan Xianzi glared at Kethis and stopped talking, instead staring at the dawn light in the sky.

  Suddenly, another beautiful figure flew down from the sky. Compared to others who were in groups of two or more, this figure seemed a bit lonely. The woman was wearing a white celestial robe, her smooth hair dancing in the sea breeze. Her face was covered with a white veil, yet she still managed to mesmerize everyone, causing them to lose their souls. If Tang Huang were here, he would definitely be shocked, because she was the one who gave him the jade slip in space.

  "Beauty, are you here to get something? If not, come with me and I can give you other good things." A thirty-something guest elder next to Ling Xuan's fairy approached and flirted, while also taking the opportunity to touch her with his salty pig hand.

  The masked woman directly grabbed the hand of the oily man, and a palm hit the man's dantian, causing all the spiritual energy in the man's dantian to dissipate, turning him into an ordinary person without spiritual energy.

  Everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and didn't dare look down on this lonely beautiful woman again.

  Ling Xuan Fairy said angrily, "Fairy, this is too much! The fight for the spiritual instrument has not even started yet, and they have already lost a fighting force. This made Ling Xuan Fairy extremely angry."

  The masked woman said coldly, "If I had gone too far, he would have been dead by now." The masked woman ignored Ling Xuan Immortal and found a shaded area to sit down alone.

  Ling Xuan was suddenly intimidated by the cold intent of the masked woman and didn't dare speak.

  Instead, he examined the man's injuries and found that he had indeed become a useless person.

  "It's been seven days, how come this auspicious light still hasn't condensed? Generally, when a spiritual artifact is being refined, it won't have such an unusual phenomenon. Unless it's some kind of heavenly or earthly divine object being refined, but this auspicious light usually appears for at most three days, I've never heard of one that lasts seven days." A monk from the Esoteric Buddhist sect sighed.

  "This doesn't just prove that the quality of this spiritual instrument is unparalleled in heaven and earth, but if such a good spiritual instrument were born from heaven and earth, it would be fine. But if someone had refined it, then it would be troublesome. This person must not be a simple existence." Another monk beside him said.

  Suddenly, the dawn light in the sky began to change, and the dawn light also began to gather together, then transformed into a five-colored light column, like lightning, splitting towards the valley.

  At this time, Tang Hao had completed the transformation of his spiritual power, and the small spiritual realm of liquid spiritual power had also gathered together, forming a crystal nucleus about the size of a fingernail, to know that generally, the cloud dan of a Dan-stage cultivator was only about two of these sizes.

  Then the five-colored light beam shot into Tang Hao's body, and as long as Tang Hao digested this light beam, the effect of building the foundation would rise another level. However, this light beam was not so easy to digest, because this light beam was actually a heavenly tribulation disguised by the bracelet.

  Tang Hao suddenly felt as if there were thousands of small knives cutting him all over his body, and the originally smooth skin had countless scars. If this continued, Tang Hao knew that his flesh would be torn apart.

  "This is the heavenly tribulation of the foundation-building period, the mixed yuan golden tribulation. Only you can enjoy the treatment of suffering from the heavenly tribulation after building the foundation. Although this process is painful, as long as you hold on, the benefits are self-evident. But if you can't hold on, everything in front will be abandoned, and your meridians will also be damaged, and you will never be able to build a foundation again." Ning Yan had already recovered her foundation-building cultivation at this time and began to focus all her attention on helping Tang Huang build his foundation.

  But Tang Hao felt such pain for the first time, all the wounds were both painful and itchy, making Tang Hao have an urge to scratch off his own skin.

  Ning Yan saw that it was not good and hurriedly hugged Tang Hao tightly, fearing that Tang Hao would grab his own flesh and blood. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Quickly use spiritual power to heal your wounds, this will reduce the pain a bit." At the same time, his water spiritual power continuously entered Tang Hao's wound, greatly relieving Tang Hao's pain.

  "Alright, it's like this. If you can hold on for two more hours, that will be considered a successful foundation building. However, right now it's just your skin, later it will be your flesh and blood, and then your bone marrow. You must endure it. In the future, when breaking through to the Great Boundary, there will also be the Primordial Wood Tribulation and the Primordial Water Tribulation. The pain will be hundreds of times more severe, so you should try to get used to this kind of suffering."

  Tang Hao slowly began to be able to endure this suffering, and at the same time, he could also spare the energy to feel the changes in his body. He felt that his body was undergoing a process of destruction and rebirth, with new skin, flesh, and bone marrow emerging, as if they had undergone a thousand refinements, their quality completely different from before. However, Tang Hao also had to constantly use his spiritual power to heal himself, because if he stopped using his spiritual power to heal, there would be no rebirth, only destruction. In the end, it was a test of his ability to control his spiritual power.

  At the same time, the monks outside saw that the halo had dissipated and thought of rushing in like a swarm of bees to grab the treasure. If they all rushed in, even if the five women were powerful, it was not guaranteed that one or two would not slip through the net.

  At this time, under Ning Yan's command, the five girls all transformed into shadow clones and walked out of the formation, appearing in front of the people who were just about to rush in.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, Master is inside cultivating treasure, please don't disturb him." Huang Yi spoke first.

  "Jenny!" someone from the Western Church recognized Jenny, "Where have you been running these days? Do you know that your father is worried about you? And you secretly brought people to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to steal things. I haven't even punished you yet?"

  "Uncle Anthony, I was wrong. When I have time, I'll accompany you to find Father and apologize, but now my newly acknowledged master is in closed-door meditation inside, and I must guard him first."

  "You've actually acknowledged him as your master? He can't be some kind of evil cultivator, can he?" Anthony asked suspiciously.

  Jenny shook her head and said, "How could that be? Didn't you tell me to learn more about the Eastern Tao? So I've taken a Central Plains person as my master. Uncle Anthony, if there's nothing else, let's go back first."

  Anthony didn't leave so easily, "Since she's your master, Jenny, how can we not go see her?"

  "Never mind, Master's temper is eccentric, and now that he's in seclusion to refine his treasure, his temper is even more violent. It's better not to disturb him. I'll bring him to the palace another day."

  Anthony didn't want Jenny to lie to him, so he said: "In that case, it seems we've made a wasted trip. This treasure actually belongs to someone else. Do you want us to stay and help? After all, there are many people with ulterior motives."

  Jenny hastily said: "No need, Master's abilities are vast and powerful, how could he care about these few insignificant people? Uncle, you should go back first, aren't there many things in the church that can't be taken care of?"

  Anthony nodded and instructed Jenny a few words before boarding the returning helicopter. Many people saw this and also dispersed, which greatly reduced the pressure on the women, but there were still more than 50 monks left watching, which was not easy to deal with.

  The masked woman was also rushing in with the crowd, saw the five women, sighed and said, "I thought the Five Elements Treasure had appeared, how did I run into you again?" Then she sat down to fight.

  "Yellow Yi! You actually built a foundation!" Lin Xiao exclaimed at Yellow Yi.

  Huang Yi bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Lin, for saving me last time. However, my master is currently in seclusion and it's not convenient to disturb him. Please return now, and I will come visit you another time to express my gratitude."

  Ling Xuan said thoughtfully: "It's rare for a Danzhu cultivator to appear on Earth, and if we leave like this, it would be impolite, so we'd like to pay our respects."

  Masao, who was twelve years old at the time, also saw Tang Wan'er and exclaimed in surprise: "Sister, you're not dead?"
