#673 - Chapter 673 Who is building the foundation?

Despite knowing the process would be painful, Xiao Shan was resolute.

He gazed at the dark, swirling Bitter Sea under the cover of night, without the slightest fear or hesitation, and jumped straight in.

The moment he jumped into the Bitter Sea, Xiao Shan immediately felt that his body was not so cold anymore, the burning sensation was weakening, and the dirt on his body was being expelled faster.

They smelled the scent of food, and a greedy light flashed in their eyes.

Thousands of forbidden sea monsters emerged from the seabed, swimming towards Xiao Shan.

Their mighty movements quickly awakened the carp dragon sleeping at the bottom of the sea.

It originally wanted to stop them, but after seeing the situation on the surface, it silently returned to lie down, choosing to turn a blind eye.

This ignorant kid needs to suffer a little before he learns his lesson.

Because of Xiao Shan's identity as someone from another world, the carp dragon always harbored hostility and vigilance towards him.

The movement coming from the depths of the sea made Xiao Shan, who was still undergoing bone washing and marrow cleansing, turn pale.

He had just forgotten that there was a group of forbidden sea monsters in the Bitter Sea.

Xiao Shan had experienced the power of those forbidden sea monsters.

But he had no way out now; either he quit halfway and died from exploding meridians, or he waited for the sea monsters to come and be buried in their bellies.

In his current state of excruciating pain, he had no resistance or attack power whatsoever.

Just as Xiao Shan was in a dilemma between life and death, an even faster wave surged from the bottom of the Bitter Sea.

It was the Water Mountain guardian spirit, the water beast. In its eyes, Xiao Shan, who was nurtured by Water Mountain, was also its master.

Now that its master was in trouble, it disregarded everything and stood in front of him.

However, although the water beast had great power, in the eyes of the many forbidden sea monsters, it was just one more piece of food.

If it were just one forbidden sea monster, they would still have some reservations.

But now they had thousands of forbidden sea monsters; wouldn't dealing with a mere water beast be more than enough?

Soon, the swarming forbidden sea monsters rushed towards the water beast and Xiao Shan.

In the Bitter Sea, the dense heads and strong bodies of the sea monsters could be seen everywhere.

Each of them opened their bloody mouths, and as they came towards the water beast and Xiao Shan, their eyes showed undisguised gazes of looking at prey.

The water beast had already made the plan to perish together with the forbidden sea monsters.

As far as it was concerned, as long as its master was safe, its own death didn't matter.

Soon, the forbidden sea monsters swam to the water beast's side.

Just as a life-and-death battle was about to begin, a delicate shout came.

"I want to see who dares to hurt my junior brother!"

It turned out that Ye Hongxue was worried about Xiao Shan and that he might cause trouble, so she ran out to check.

This check just happened to reveal Xiao Shan surrounded by a group of dark monsters in the center.

Ye Hongxue's angry roar instantly alarmed the carp dragon, which was pretending to be asleep at the bottom of the Bitter Sea.

Seeing that its master's disciple had appeared, it could no longer pretend.

It leaped up from the bottom of the Bitter Sea, and before its huge body even left the sea, a huge dragon's roar came from its mouth.

Hearing this vast and magnificent dragon's roar, the forbidden sea monsters that had been gathering around Xiao Shan instantly lost their momentum.

They were like they had met their natural enemy, and each of them was listless.

They even stopped their current offensive trend, and each of them remained still, seemingly still watching.

However, this action completely provoked the carp dragon, and the carp dragon soared into the air.

Its huge body swept through the air, and with movements so fast that people couldn't see clearly, it instantly tore one of the sea monsters into pieces.

This action of the carp dragon instantly shocked the other sea monsters, and they dared not make any more moves, fleeing towards the bottom of the sea.

Only then did the carp dragon wave its tail in the air, instantly plunge into the Bitter Sea and disappear.

Seeing that the forbidden sea monsters had all dispersed, Ye Hongxue then said to Xiao Shan.

"Junior Brother Xiao Shan? Are you okay?"

"It's cold at night, come up quickly!"

Xiao Shan was currently at the critical moment of washing his bones and cleansing his marrow.

He had no time to care about what Ye Hongxue said.

The tearing sensation rising from inside his body made his mind go blank, and he only wished he could die immediately.

But he knew that his opportunity now was hard-won, and if he missed this opportunity, he would almost never have such good luck again.

Seeing that Xiao Shan didn't say a word for a long time, Ye Hongxue realized that Xiao Shan's face was abnormally red.

His whole person was like a cooked duck, emitting an unusual heat.

Moreover, black impurities and sludge were constantly flowing out of his body.

Now, even if Ye Hongxue was dull, she would realize that something was unusual.

Xiao Shan must have some trick up his sleeve.

"Xiao Shan, what's wrong?" Replacing Xiao Shan's answer was a painful whimper.

Now Ye Hongxue couldn't calm down anymore. She didn't care whether Xiao Shan was lying before.

At this time, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was to quickly find Senior Yun to solve the problem.

Soon, Ye Hongxue turned to call for someone.

Taking advantage of Ye Hongxue's running away, Xiao Shan opened one eye as if he had succeeded, followed by the other eye.

He had lied just now. His actions just now were to fool Ye Hongxue.

Because Xiao Shan felt that one after another spiritual power was gathering in his dantian, and he knew that he was about to break through after being reborn.

And the matter of breaking through must not be seen by Ye Hongxue, otherwise, the suspicion that he stole the peaches would be confirmed.

So Xiao Shan pretended to be weak and helpless, and that's how he sent Ye Hongxue away.

Just on the way Ye Hongxue left, Xiao Shan's body began to emit bursts of heat.

As the heat on Xiao Shan's body surged wildly, a water dragon drilled out directly from his body and went straight into the sky.

At this moment, Xiao Shan's spiritual power also began to soar wildly.

Qi Training Level 1, Level 2, Level 3…

When Xiao Shan's spiritual power reached Qi Training Level 3, the water dragon on his body turned golden and shone throughout the sky.

However, this was not over yet, Xiao Shan's realm level was still rising non-stop.

Directly from Qi Training Level 3 to Qi Training Level 9.

Such a huge movement finally alarmed Ye Hongxue, Ye Qingjun, and Yun, who were rushing towards the edge of the Bitter Sea.

"What's going on? Is this the movement of someone about to build their foundation?"

Yun looked at the two water dragons hovering and flying in the sky with a puzzled expression.

He remembered that Ye Kong's Carefree Peak no longer had any disciples who were about to build their foundation.

What's going on with someone building their foundation and causing such a big commotion now?

Ye Hongxue guessed that this was likely the commotion caused by Xiao Shan.

Just as this thought fell in Ye Hongxue's mind, Xiao Shan's cultivation instantly skyrocketed and he successfully built his foundation.

At this time, Ye Kong, who was far away in another world, instantly had an additional foundation building fragment in his mind.
