Chapter 272 Taking the Initiative to Make Friends
Qin Chong and Zhao Guipeng naturally dared not be negligent.
Qin Chong nodded: "Alright! Senior Brother Zhao, you have the Wind Boots, you're much faster than me, you go ahead first, I'll be there shortly!"
Zhao Guipeng nodded, then leaped into the air, causing the wind elements around him to tremble violently!
In the blink of an eye, he leaped hundreds of meters away, then landed on the sea with his feet buzzing in his wind boots!
He stepped onto the water's surface without sinking. Instead, he used the buoyancy to easily leap up, as if he were walking on water, and sped across the sea towards the eastern island nation!
In addition, the boots he wore were also a magical artifact, capable of propelling him forward and accelerating his speed.
Zhao Guipeng was extremely fast, and in a short while he was far away.
Qin Chong didn't have the Wind Boots, but as a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, his earth elemental domain around his body had already reached more than ten meters.
Qin Chong charged towards the sea, and with each landing, an earthen boat formed beneath his feet. Riding on these boats, Qin Chong sped across the water, seemingly walking on water.
On the eastern island nation side.
Chen Yang must consume 5 Spirit Gathering and Foundation Condensation Pills within 12 hours to build 5 Dao foundations!
If more than 12 hours have passed, once the Dao platform within the body is stabilized, it will be impossible to continue building the foundation!
Chen Yang swallowed the fifth Spirit Gathering and Foundation Condensation Pill, and soon, the last Yin Water Dao Platform was also successfully condensed within his body!
After the Yin Water Platform was completed, the five platforms in the five organs of his body simultaneously emitted a strong five-colored light!
The five platforms influenced and countered each other, and with a "boom," a five-colored pillar shot straight into the sky!
The next moment, with a loud "boom", a huge five-colored auspicious cloud appeared out of thin air, and five-colored light crashed down, enveloping the area around the volcano!
The volcano, which had collapsed into ruins, suddenly burst forth with vitality—the vegetation around the mountains grew rapidly, the rocks trembled violently, and endless vitality, accompanied by powerful spiritual energy, completely enveloped the area!
Within this vibrant life, the ancient and magnificent voice of the Great Dao seemed to faintly resound!
At this moment, Zhu Yuejian and the old eunuch, who were not far from Chen Yang, were also working hard to build their foundation!
Although their pills had been improved by Chen Yang, their effects were still somewhat lacking, far from reaching the level of a perfect Foundation Establishment Pill!
However, at this moment, after being infected by Chen Yang's auspicious cloud aura, the two of them instantly entered a state of bliss!
The next moment, they simultaneously and frantically inhaled earth element, and two beams of light shot into the sky—Zhu Yuejian and the old eunuch had actually succeeded in establishing their foundations at the same time!
At this moment, Zhao Guipeng, who was rapidly crossing the sea, saw the strange phenomenon on the eastern island nation. The more he looked, the more shocked he became, and he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous!
Later, when he saw the auspicious five-colored clouds, he no longer felt envy or jealousy, but rather a deep-seated fear and unbelievable horror!
"I never imagined that such a brilliant and talented cultivator would exist in the Eastern Island Nation!"
Zhao Guipeng was shocked: "Even in the Central Plains, such a person would be a once-in-a-millennium genius! It's unbelievable that such a monstrous talent was born in the Southern Region, a place so lacking in spiritual energy!"
His heart trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and accelerated again—the wind spirit power in his body surged rapidly, forming a powerful domain around his body. With the help of the domain power, the Wind Boots on his feet increased his speed even further!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Zhao Guipeng's figure moved like a phantom as he headed straight for the Eastern Island Country!
However, the East Island Kingdom was indeed quite far from the coastline of Xinghai City. It took him seventeen or eighteen hours to finally leap up and land on the land of the East Island Kingdom!
At this time, the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth had basically dissipated!
Zhao Guipeng unleashed his Foundation Establishment realm cultivation to quickly survey his surroundings!
Soon, the auras of the two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were clearly revealed!
Zhao Guipeng leaped onto the crater in a flash, and upon seeing Zhu Yuejian and the old eunuch, he was even more surprised: "It's you? A descendant of the Zhu family! You must be the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, right? Why are you two here in the Eastern Island Kingdom to establish your foundations? Was that strange phenomenon just now caused by your foundation-building?"
Zhu Yuejian immediately cupped his hands and calmly said, "Enforcement Envoy! We were just beginning our foundation-building process! The reason we came here was because we were worried that the foundation-building would trigger an earthquake and harm the people of the Ming Dynasty, so we decided to do it in the Eastern Island Kingdom! However, it seems that the disaster caused by the foundation-building wasn't that great; we were overthinking it!"
Zhu Yuejian had already prepared his excuse, and now he calmly and unhurriedly evaded the question!
At this moment, Chen Yang was already hiding in the shadows, adapting to his current Foundation Establishment Realm strength while observing Zhao Guipeng who dared to approach.
Zhao Guipeng frowned, sizing up Zhu Yuejian before glancing at the old eunuch, then waved his hand, "Alright! Come with me!"
Before long, Qin Chong caught up from behind!
Although Qin Chong was a bit slower, as a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, crossing the sea was naturally a piece of cake.
As he crossed the sea, he also witnessed the auspicious celestial phenomenon of five-colored omens descending.
Qin Chong quickly ran to Zhao Guipeng's side, looked around, and then stared in surprise at Zhu Yuejian and the old eunuch!
Qin Chong glanced at the old eunuch and then turned his head away—after all, even if someone of that age successfully established his foundation, there was little hope for the future!
Therefore, the earth-shattering phenomenon just now could only have been released by this young man!
Qin Chong couldn't help but step forward, nod slightly to Zhu Yuejian, and give a rare smile!
In the eyes of the law enforcement envoy, the people of the Southern Region were nothing more than natives and low-class residents. Even if some of them managed to establish their foundation, once they arrived at Tianhai Gate, they were destined to be cannon fodder—living a life of obscurity, doing dirty and tiring work, and ultimately being sent to the battlefield where their remains were never found! Without family or a foundation, the possibility of them achieving anything significant was extremely small!
But Qin Chong dared not be too negligent towards Zhu Yuejian in front of him!
He nodded at Zhu Yuejian: "Were you the one who was establishing your foundation just now?"
Zhu Yuejian quickly nodded and cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Your Excellency the Enforcer!"
Qin Chong smiled slightly: "Hello, my name is Qin Chong, and this is my senior brother Zhao Guipeng. The extraordinary phenomenon you displayed during your Foundation Establishment just now was truly monstrous! Cultivate diligently, your future is limitless! What's your name again?"
Zhu Yuejian quickly replied, "Zhu Yuejian!"
Qin Chong was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Aren't you the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuejian nodded quickly: "That's me!"
Qin Chong laughed heartily: "Your Zhu family certainly has produced many talented individuals, and your bloodline is pure and noble! Several of the Zhu family's ancestors served in the Tianhai Gate, and I have old ties with them!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuejian quickly bowed again to express his gratitude!
Zhao Guipeng, standing to the side, remained silent, his brows furrowed, not uttering a single word.
At this moment, Qin Chong said with a smile, "It's getting late. We'll take you two to the teleportation array and explain the rules for entering Tianhai Sect in detail along the way!"
Just then, Zhao Guipeng suddenly said to Qin Chong, "Junior Brother Qin, I'll take them both by boat! You go to the teleportation array first and set it up in advance, so as not to delay their entry time!"
Qin Chong cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Zhao Guipeng: "Alright! I'll head to the teleportation array first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chong leaped up and quickly stepped onto the sea!
With each step he took, a yellow ground, like earth, appeared beneath his feet!
Qin Chong quickly left to prepare the teleportation array. He also wanted to return early to prepare some gifts for Zhu Yuejian.
After all, with such talent, he is very likely to become a true core disciple of Tianhai Sect in the future!
If I build a good relationship with Zhu Yuejian now, there might be an opportunity for us in the future.
On the island of Dongdao, Zhao Guipeng turned to look at Zhu Yuejian and the old eunuch, and suddenly, a sinister sneer appeared on his lips!
