Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 131 - 97: The Black Monolith, Celestial Pill Elder’s Legacy

Chapter 131: Chapter 97: The Black Monolith, Celestial Pill Elder’s Legacy

"Even the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators fear death..."

Seeing yet another Celestial Soul Hall Foundation Establishment stepping aside, allowing him to pass safely, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but sigh.

Or perhaps, Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators fear death even more than Qi Refining Disciples.

After all, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm is not without its hardships. It’s through years of cultivation that one reaches this stage. The more you invest, the more you gain, and the more you fear losing.

In contrast, Qi Refining Disciples might be more willing to abandon themselves to fate, viewing life and death with a bit more indifference.

Of course, even Qi Refining Disciples cherish their lives more than ordinary people do.

However, these Celestial Soul Hall Foundation Establishment cultivators were not wrong in their thinking, given that he himself, if engaged in combat with them, indeed had a great advantage. Even a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator would lament their fate under the stone steps against him.

"Next, I’ll continue moving forward."

Thinking so, Qi Chuan stepped step by step up the stone stairs, heading toward the mountain peak.

Along the way, the elders of Celestial Soul Hall saw Qi Chuan catching up and none dared to obstruct him. They, like the previous two Celestial Soul Hall Elders, allowed Qi Chuan to pass freely.

As for the elders of Wind Moon Sect, needless to say, when they saw Qi Chuan approaching, they all smiled and greeted, "Junior Brother Qi."

In their eyes, looking at Qi Chuan, there was a sense of recognition, even a bit of envy.

Initially, Qi Chuan, at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, was the least experienced among all the Wind Moon Sect elders. However, now, almost all of the Wind Moon Sect Foundation Establishment Elders no longer dared to underestimate Qi Chuan, seeing him as equal or even slightly higher in status than themselves.

After all, Qi Chuan had previously achieved the astounding feat of killing Lin Sha, indicating that his strength was, at the very least, top-tier among the Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators.

And now, his performance on these stone steps had further won them over.

No matter how Qi Chuan achieved this, it highlighted that he must possess some qualities they lacked, enabling him to stand out in this Secret Realm Space, under both the Spirit-Banning Array and Profound Weight Array, surpassing even the sect leaders of the two sects.

Clip-clop.

The sound of footsteps echoed clearly on the long stone stairway shrouded in mist.

Qi Chuan ascended step by step, surpassing one elder from the two sects after another, eventually closing in on the two sect leaders ahead, Situ Jiang and Tian Hunzi.

Before he even approached, Qi Chuan sensed a gaze filled with killing intent.

When he looked up, he saw Tian Hunzi’s face with narrowed eyes.

"This person truly doesn’t hide his arrogance..."

Qi Chuan marveled at the other’s boldness.

However, the person did indeed have grounds for arrogance.

After all, possessing Foundation Establishment Perfection, and being able to hold the position of sect leader in Celestial Soul Hall, he was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator.

With such strength, he indeed had reason to be feared.

Now, although Qi Chuan had an unparalleled advantage in climbing the steps, enough to stroll leisurely, he truly wasn’t confident that he would have any advantage when clashing with Tian Hunzi.

After all, with such cultivation and strength, one couldn’t be sure what hidden cards or protective measures he might possess, and if he acted on the faint killing intent revealed by the latter, there was indeed a possibility of a mishap.

"Qi Chuan, you’ve done very well!"

However, Situ Jiang and Tian Hunzi had completely different attitudes. Seeing Qi Chuan, Situ Jiang beamed, "Tian Hunzi, I’ll watch him. You focus on climbing the steps."

"Thank you, Master," Qi Chuan clasped his fists in gratitude.

Hearing this, Tian Hunzi shot a sullen glance at Situ Jiang.

However, honestly, even without Situ Jiang’s protection, he wasn’t quite willing to engage in a fight with Qi Chuan now.

After all, Qi Chuan could effortlessly merge with the environment under the Spirit-Banning Array and Profound Weight Array. Even with his Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation, he was cautious of Qi Chuan.

He, as the celestially revered leader of Celestial Soul Hall, with such cultivation realms, it would indeed be quite embarrassing if he carelessly suffered a fall to a Foundation Establishment Early Stage kid from Wind Moon Sect here.

Moreover, with Situ Jiang’s protection, he had less opportunity to make a move.

If Qi Chuan and Situ Jiang attacked him together, things would surely look grim for him.

Thus, under Tian Hunzi’s wary gaze, Qi Chuan ascended step by step, finally passing Situ Jiang, surpassing both him and Tian Hunzi.

Now, before Qi Chuan, there were only three Qi Refining Disciples from the two sects left.

Yes, of the ten Qi Refining Disciples initially sent forward to scout, only three remained, with the other seven having perished in mutual combat, falling off the stone steps.

As for the current three Qi Refining Disciples, one was from Celestial Soul Hall, and two were from Wind Moon Sect.

"He’s coming, what should I do?"

At this moment, as Qi Chuan gradually approached, the Celestial Soul Hall disciple’s complexion paled slightly, his heart filled with trepidation.

After all, Qi Chuan had a Foundation Establishment Realm, not to mention displaying such extraordinary strength on these stone steps. If he engaged in combat against him, he feared there would be no outcome other than his own fall.

"Greetings, Elder Qi!"

"Greetings, Elder Qi!"

The two Wind Moon Sect Qi Refining Disciples, seeing Qi Chuan approach, clasped their fists and loudly saluted, their eyes filled with a hint of reverence.
