Chapter 46: Building Foundation Dan

  Outside the Cave of Ten Thousand Immortals, the leaders of the four major powers all had their eyes closed, motionless like an old monk in meditation. From time to time, figures appeared at the entrance of the cave, took a glance around, and then walked towards their own sects.

  Five days later, only two disciples of the Wan Jian Pavilion came out, and after waiting for another three days, the entrance to the Wan Xian Cave became quiet again, without a single figure appearing.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, those who have not come out yet are probably also fallen in the Wanxian Cave. I think we don't need to wait any longer." At this time, a long-faced old man from the Wanjian Pavilion opened his eyes and said to the crowd.

  Upon hearing this, a beautifully dressed female cultivator with a single eyebrow furrowed, was about to speak when a burly man from the Carefree Valley shook his head and said: "Heh heh, Fellow Daoist Feng Xuan, all of your main disciples from the Myriad Swords Pavilion have returned, so you're not in a hurry. But for us three major powers, there are still many people who haven't returned."

  The old man called Feng Xu smiled slightly and said softly, "Qiao Shandao friend, not all of my people from Wan Jian Pavilion have returned either. Since everyone is waiting, I'll accompany you then."

  "After all, there are only three to five days left before the Wanxian Cave is closed again. Generally at this time, those who can't come out have mostly encountered accidents. Even if you wait here for a year, they won't be able to come out again."

  After hearing this, the crowd unexpectedly didn't refute anything. In these few days, those who should have come out were indeed already out, but among these powers, there were still a few top disciples who hadn't appeared. If they didn't wait for a few more days, it would be somewhat unbearable.

  "Hey, why haven't Lu Yun and Xi Feng returned yet? Logically speaking, with the spiritual symbols I gave to Cloud, protecting herself shouldn't be a problem." At this time, Elder Xuan Yi furrowed his brow and said in a low voice.

  Upon hearing this, Kong Ming Elder's expressionless face swept a glance at the disciples behind him, then turned back around, but didn't say anything.

  At this moment, the Qian Ya Sect originally had more than 30 people entering, but now less than 10 have come out. Only one robust young man remains at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, and only three or four remain at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer. The rest are all at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

  Of course, the Xuan Yi elder didn't care about these people, he only cared about his beloved disciple Lu Yun and other core disciples of the sect who had reached the 9th layer of Qi cultivation. But now that the Wan Xian Cave was about to close, Lu Yun still hadn't appeared. The Xuan Yi elder couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

  With a whoosh, the entrance of Wansheng Cave flashed with a ray of light, and four figures rushed out in a flash, looking extremely disheveled, their clothes in disarray, and seemingly seriously injured.

  Two of them were from the Valley of Carefree, and the other two were cultivators from the Sword Washing Pavilion and the Ethereal Sect respectively. The four of them went their separate ways back to their respective powers.

  Upon seeing this, the fierce-looking man from Peach Garden smiled slightly and nodded, saying: "Haha, not bad. I thought you guys wouldn't come back. The remaining unimportant people, whether they can come out or not is no longer important."

  At this time, the elder in black robes couldn't sit still anymore and said to Elder Kuang Ming: "Elder Kuang Ming, can we wait a few more days before closing the Cave of Ten Thousand Immortals? I think Yun'er must be trapped somewhere.

  "Cloud is impossible to fall, when leaving, I sent him a few high-level spiritual symbols. Even if he encounters a nuclear beast, it's hard to break through the protective spiritual symbol, and there's also the wind symbol, which can be used to escape and save his life in case of defeat."

  "Ah, Xuanyi Shidi, don't force things too much. Even if you feel that everything is going smoothly, it's inevitable to encounter some variables. Moreover, the opening and closing of Wansheng Cave is not something that our Qianya Sect can decide on its own." Qingming Lao said, then let out a soft sigh.

  Three days later, after discussing with Kong Ming Lao and the long-faced old man of Wan Jian Pavilion, as well as the leaders of Piao Yu Sect and Xiao Yao Valley, it was decided to close the Wan Xian Cave. After all, they had already waited for three days, and it was really impossible to continue waiting any longer.

  Just as the four of them arrived at the entrance to the Cave of Ten Thousand Immortals, ready to close it up, a young man with tattered clothes and pale complexion, his eyes somewhat dull, stumbled out.

  "Huh? It's the little one from Qian Ya Sect, heh heh, congratulations to you, Kong Ming Elder." A seductively dressed female cultivator smiled slightly and said so.

  "Hmph, he's just a waste of resources. He's only at the 8th level of Qi refinement and his meridians are severely damaged. It seems he won't have much prospects in the future." The burly man from Wandering Valley sneered with a smile as he said this.

  Upon hearing this, Kong Ming's face remained expressionless as he said in a soft voice, "In any case, he is still a disciple of Qian Ya Sect. Heh heh. Alright, let's first lift the seal and close off Wan Xian Cave." After finishing his words, the four of them began to take action.

  The person who came out was Ye Fei, and he clearly felt that his appearance seemed to be unnecessary. Not to mention outsiders, even the two elders of Qian Ya Sect didn't seem to feel any excitement about him being able to escape.

  Moreover, Ye Fei clearly felt that when he first appeared, the black-robed elder was initially delighted, but after seeing him clearly, he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression. Even Yuan Xizheng didn't say anything to him. Like this, Ye Fei arrived at the Qian Ya Sect's camp and sat down cross-legged.

  It's better this way, no one pays attention to themselves, which is also in line with Ye Fei's low-key personality.

  At this time, only a buzzing sound was heard at the entrance of Wansheng Cave, and the light flashed. The sealing power was broken, and it returned to its original state. The guards around were guarding until they reached the entrance of the cave.

  The leader of the four-party forces simply chatted for a few words, and then each brought their own disciples, driving flying artifacts, flying towards their own sect.

  Here is the translation:

  The place fell silent once again, with only the bloody smell floating around the Wansheng Cave, as if proving that a brutal massacre had just ended.

  ……

  A month later, Ye Fei's figure appeared alone in the cave mansion, his eyes gazing into the distance with a thoughtful expression on his face.

  Just a few days ago, the nine disciples of Qian Ya Sect who had just returned to their sect were questioned by Kong Ming Elder. They were asked if they had seen their fellow disciples, whether they had discovered that their fellow disciples' deaths were caused by other sects, and whether they had lent a helping hand at the time.

  Ye Fei didn't bother to explain, and directly stated that he had been hiding on the periphery. Later, he was chased by a demon beast and escaped into the central area, where he met up with Lu Yun and others. However, just as everyone was preparing to leave, they were scattered by a high-ranking demon beast. Ye Fei managed to escape due to his possession of the Ling Step Technique. He knew nothing else about what happened afterwards.

  No matter what others believe, it's absolutely unthinkable that Lu Yun died at his own hands. Ye Fei handed over the Lingzhu he snatched from under the eyelids of two cultivators in the bushes and finally exchanged it for a long-awaited foundation-building pill. This made Ye Fei extremely excited, thinking that this adventure was worth it despite being a narrow escape from death. After all, this foundation-building pill wasn't something you could buy just anywhere.

  Ye Fei also deeply felt that some of the elders and deacons almost ignored him, and Shao Yu was also among those who fell this time. Only one Qi Practitioner at the 7th layer managed to escape, but the higher-ups seemed to not care about the lives or deaths of these people. They seemed to only be concerned with the core disciples at the 9th layer of Qi Practitioners.

  With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Ye Fei couldn't help but shake his head. Even if he entered the sect, without certain strength, he wouldn't get any attention at all.

  "Whatever, let's first take a look at Lu Yun's body and see what kind of treasures he has on him. After that, I'll prepare to exchange for some spiritual pills to repair my meridians, and then start working hard to advance my cultivation. Heaven gave me a fate with only eighteen years of life, but I, Ye Fei, will definitely build my foundation and change my fate, breaking free from the shackles of destiny." After saying this, Ye Fei's face became extremely resolute. (End of chapter)
