Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 222: Encounter Foundation Establishment

"What does 'face' mean?"

Mi Xiaojing really didn't understand.

"It means dignity. It's very undignified to bully others because of your superior status."

"What is 'dignity'?"

Mi Xiaojing was even more confused.

Wang Weijun felt like he was about to cough up blood. He knew that Mi Xiaojing had grown up in the Evolutionary Immortality sect and had never been out in the world. He had almost no understanding of the Cultivation World, so of course, he couldn't understand what Wang Weijun was saying.

"Forget it, don't worry about it. All you need to know is that cultivators at the Elemental Infant stage generally won't attack those of lower cultivation levels. Of course, it's not strange if they do. Let's not talk about this anymore, it's so annoying!"

Mi Xiaojing was confused. What was the old man trying to say? He didn't understand at all.

However, since Wang Weijun found it annoying, he didn't ask any more questions.

Wang Weijun said, "We still have a bit of a walk before we reach the sect's main hall."

"Okay!"

Mi Xiaojing agreed and continued to walk upwards. Soon, he saw a familiar path, but he didn't dare to walk on it as it was too conspicuous.

He moved forward through the forest, surrounded by bushes and weeds. Mi Xiaojing even saw many spiritual herbs and plants. The spiritual Qi here was always rich, and there were naturally many good things in the mountains. However, he didn't have the mood to pick them and continued to walk upwards.

After a while, Mi Xiaojing approached the main hall of the sect, and then he was stunned. The entire main hall had been completely destroyed, and there were piles of bodies lying on the ground, scattered in all directions. Many of them were unrecognizable, looking very tragic.

"Did they break in?"

Mi Xiaojing muttered to himself, then asked Wang Weijun.

"Old man, the main hall has been breached. Should we still go in?"

"Let's see first. If there's no one, we'll go in!"

Mi Xiaojing sneaked around like a thief. There were still sounds of battle in the distance, but it was eerily quiet here. The pungent smell of blood hit his face, and the air was filled with the smell of rust, mixed with a strong burnt smell.

Some wood was still burning, and wisps of blue smoke rose up.

Mi Xiaojing noticed that there were no living people around, only bodies on the ground, most of which were members of the sect. Among them, he saw two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Heart Sect. Their Golden Elixirs had been taken away, and they looked extremely miserable with large wounds on their chests and abdomens, blood flowing everywhere.

Mi Xiaojing was observant. He noticed that apart from their clothes, these cultivators had nothing else on their bodies. He didn't know who had taken their belongings. It could have been rogue cultivators outside, or it could have been people from their own sect.

The defense of the main hall had been completely destroyed. There was no barrier, and Mi Xiaojing walked in.

The journey was very calm because the internal prohibitions had not been completely broken, and some residual prohibitions blocked the noise from outside.

Mi Xiaojing was not very familiar with this place, but he had been here two or three times. He saw that the prohibition on a small path had been forcibly broken.

Crack!

A crisp sound came from not far away, and Mi Xiaojing immediately felt his hair stand on end. This was not a good place to fight. Anyone who dared to enter here must be at least a Foundation Establishment expert.

Regardless of whether this person was a cultivator of the Heart Sect or not, they would not be friendly to Mi Xiaojing. Those who dared to stay here at this time were basically people coveting the treasures of the sect, just like Mi Xiaojing.

Moreover, there were many residual prohibitions around, which would affect the performance of escape talismans. Therefore, the option to escape was limited here.

This was Mi Xiaojing's first time acting like a thief, and he was extremely nervous. If it weren't for Wang Weijun's instigation, he definitely wouldn't have come here. So, every little noise made his heart race, and he quickly dodged to the side.

Wang Weijun laughed, "Kid, this is the Heart Sect. It's normal for you to be here. The one who should be afraid is the other party. Why are you so nervous?"

"Ah? Right, why am I nervous?"

As Mi Xiaojing spoke, he still looked around nervously. He was naturally not cut out for this.

There was a half-collapsed wooden building nearby, and Mi Xiaojing immediately hid inside. Before he could hide properly, he saw a shadow flash by, which scared him so much that his hair stood on end.

Then, he saw a person emerge.

The person was also startled when he saw Mi Xiaojing. It was clear that the person was a rogue cultivator, and only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. However, the person quickly recovered and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He was unfamiliar with this place and had been wanting to capture a cultivator from the Heart Sect to guide him. He didn't expect his wish to come true when Mi Xiaojing appeared before him.

Moreover, Mi Xiaojing was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If a Golden Elixir cultivator had come, it would have been troublesome for him. But a Foundation Establishment cultivator? He was naturally confident. Although he was a rogue cultivator and didn't have any powerful weapons, the gap in cultivation level was there. Dealing with a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be a piece of cake, right?

Mi Xiaojing's True Word Thunder Sword was already floating in the air. At the same time, he secretly observed the Poison Lotus surrounding his Heart Tower. Of the four Poison Lotuses, only one was intact and could be used immediately. The other three had not recovered yet.

Under Wang Weijun's careful guidance, Mi Xiaojing had become very proficient in combat. Before a fight, he would first assess the situation, then examine his own cultivation level and weapons. If there was a chance, he would fight. If not, he would stall and take the opportunity to escape.

Now, what Mi Xiaojing relied on was not his cultivation level, but the various treasures he had collected during his time in the Heart Sect. After thinking for a moment, Mi Xiaojing felt that he could fight. After all, the opponent was only a rogue cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The rogue cultivator on the other side didn't make a move, and he didn't even take out his weapon. In his eyes, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, who wasn't even at the Great Perfection stage, was not worth his attention.

The man reached out his hand and beckoned.

"Hey, are you from the Heart Sect? Come here, come here!"

Mi Xiaojing was on high alert, his fingers already curled up. If there was any movement, a Poison Lotus would attack. This was one of his trump cards.The True Word Thunder Sword was also pulsating with arcs of light, ready to strike at any moment.

The man laughed, "Little guy, don't be so tense. I'm not even preparing to make a move. Besides, if we really start fighting, you're no match for me."

Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment and immediately understood the other party's meaning. This guy was also worried that a fight would attract the attention of the Heart Sect cultivators nearby. The cultivators who dared to stay in this vicinity almost all had cultivation levels above the Foundation Establishment stage. As a rogue cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he would be no match for anyone. He too had sneaked in here.

"Just stand there!"

Mi Xiaojing said, taking a step back at the same time.
