A soul beast whose strength is equivalent to that of a monk from Wangyou Realm is naturally tempting.
But Taiping was not the kind of person who would forget about his immediate interests. What really made him waver was Bai Yu's determination to abandon his free body in order to see his mother.
He couldn't bear to trample on this determination.
"I'll think of a way."
Finally Xu Taiping nodded.
…
Late this night.
"Sister Lingyue, should I be more hard-hearted?"
In the bedroom, under a candlelight, Xu Taiping asked the Fairy Lingyue in front of him with some self-mockery.
"Taiping, it's not a bad thing that you have compassion. Otherwise, what's the difference between humans and monsters? You just need to remember that when you pity others, you must never do anything that goes against your heart."
"If you feel that helping Bai Yu go to see her mother does not go against your true intentions, then feel free to do it boldly."
"We monks seek to survive on the great road, not to live in vain. This practice is like sailing in the vast sea in the dark night. The heart of the self is the moon and stars in the sky. If we lose it , you will definitely be lost in the vast sea."
"To practice Taoism, if you give up your original mind, you give up everything."
Fairy Lingyue and Xu Taiping were sitting side by side, talking in good faith.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping, who was still a little confused, his eyes suddenly became clear.
"Survive instead of stealing life, give up your original intention and give up everything."
He muttered to himself with a look of confusion on his face.
"Taiping, your sister and I have met many monks in my life. Some of them are powerful enough to peek into the secrets of heaven. But even so, even if they see the dangers ahead and their death is right in front of them, they still won't choose to give up. Instead of holding the sword and clenching the fist, you can break mountains when encountering them and slay demons when encountering them.”
"The reason why they do this is because they know very well that once they choose to abandon the Taoist mind, their path of cultivation will stop here."
"What if you live an ignoble life and steal a thousand years? Heaven still treats you like a stupid dog. Living towards death is the only way out for monks like us on the long road of cultivation."
Fairy Lingyue suddenly held Xu Taiping's face and said solemnly.
"I understand, Sister Lingyue."
Xu Taiping's eyes became determined again.
"Of course, if you promised Bai Yu to kill the Peacock King for revenge, then it would be as if my sister had never said this."
Fairy Lingyue then smiled.
Killing the Peacock King and helping Bai Yu see his mother for the last time are not on the same level of difficulty.
"Sister Lingyue, I'm not a fool. How could I do something like that and seek death?"
Of course Xu Taiping knew what Fairy Lingyue meant.
"Okay, let's start preparing to break through Wangyou Realm. If you can't break through tonight, I still won't let you take the risk."
Fairy Lingyue's expression became serious again.
"Um."
Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.
The reason why he answered Bai Yu with "I'll think of a solution" instead of agreeing immediately was because he was waiting to see if he could build a foundation and successfully break through Wangyou Realm tonight.
If he could succeed, he believed that he would at least have a chance to escape in front of the Maurya King, even if the enemy was overt and we were hidden.
Fairy Lingyue thought the same thing.
"Little Taiping, little Taiping, the kind of immortality that has been cultivated for thousands of years by sitting in a cave is the most fragile. The day when such a person ascends is the day of death, and not to mention the Qingxuan Sect, this world is , it is just a corner of the world of spiritual practice, and there is still a long way to go.”
Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, and murmured to himself.
She didn't want Xu Taiping to take risks before, because he hadn't even reached the Open Door Realm, but now he was a monk in the Quasi-Wang Nether Realm, and she had to let him know the dangers ahead.
"boom!……"
After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, Xu Taiping's aura suddenly surged, and his whole body was wrapped in wisps of cyan cyclones, exuding an invisible power.
Then his soul sensed that the true energy floating like clouds in his dantian began to condense into raindrops little by little.
After a while, he only saw "heavy rain" in his Dantian. Eventually, the rainwater gathered into streams, and the streams merged into rivers, making his originally dry Dantian look like waterways.
It is exactly what is said in Canxia Gong, the process of accumulating rain to form streams, converging streams to form rivers, gathering rivers to form seas, and finally shaping the Qi sea.
The difficulty of this step is that once the "spiritual rain" above the head is interrupted, the rivers gathered in the Dantian will quickly evaporate and turn into scattered masses of true energy again, and ultimately the foundation-building breakthrough will fail.
As time passed by, the spiritual energy gathered around Xu Taiping became more and more intense, and even the entire courtyard began to be wrapped in the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Everything seems to be going in the right direction.
However, Fairy Lingyue didn't look relaxed at all.
In her opinion, with the Foundation Establishment Pill and Xu Taiping's tenacity and confidence, it was only a matter of time before he could break through the Foundation Establishment. Even if it didn't work this time, it would definitely work next time.
The only thing that really worries Fairy Lingyue is the extraterrestrial demon.
"If you fail to build the foundation, you can try again. Once your soul is devoured by the extraterrestrial demon, there will really be nothing left."
"Boom!~"
At this moment, Xu Taiping's spiritual energy suddenly exploded, his clothes were all broken into pieces, filthy air began to flow out of his pores, and colorful brilliance began to flow on his skin.
"The last step."
At this time, Fairy Lingyue not only did not feel relaxed, but became more and more nervous, because she knew that if the extraterrestrial demon was to appear, it would definitely be at this time.
"Huhu..."
Just as she expected, a biting cold wind blew in through the gap in the window, and the strong wind slapped the window with a "bang" sound.
But the next moment, everything between heaven and earth suddenly fell silent, and a black arm, exuding a cold air, stretched out through the window.
Wherever the arm passed, whether it was a window or a wall, a layer of ice crystals began to condense.
At this moment, Fairy Lingyue squeezed the seal with her hand and shouted:
"The divine power is revealed in golden armor, and the yellow scarf holds an iron whip."
"The red robe covers the body with green boots, and the wind belt has tiger eyes."
"The dragon rope is wrapped around the waist and the order is given, and the three pure states pursue evil spirits."
"I will bind you quickly and show your strength without bending. I will cut you every inch like dust. I will cut you as fast as the law or order."
As soon as she finished speaking, the formations she had arranged around the location in advance lit up, and then the shadow of a warrior wearing golden armor appeared out of thin air in front of her.
"Zha!"
The golden armored warrior shouted like thunder, holding a whip in one hand and a knife in the other, slashing and whipping the arm of the extraterrestrial demon.
