Chapter 73 One punch cleaves the heavens, enlightenment leads to foundation building
The power of Su Mu's talisman instantly spread throughout the entire Sleeping Flower Peak.
Inside the main hall of the summit, Shen Qingshang, who was reviewing documents, had secretly observed Su Mu and his companion with a wisp of his divine sense as they headed to the training ground.
Even so, she was still deeply shocked when the talisman unleashed its astonishing power.
"Master, that was my brother just now!" Su Zhixiao also sensed this powerful force, and her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
"Hmm," Shen Qingshang nodded slightly, her expression hidden behind the veil, but her voice carried a barely perceptible urgency, "Su Mu seems to..."
"I have a feeling, and I'm trying to break through to a new level. Zhixiao, come with me to see."
Before she finished speaking, she had already stood up, and with Su Zhixiao, they transformed into a streak of light, arriving at the training ground in an instant.
In the arena, Gu Zhaorong was focused, her slender fingers moving rapidly, sending beams of spiritual light into the ground and air, quickly constructing a complex and solid structure.
The defensive formation. A halo of light swirled, its aura thick and difficult to discern.
Su Mu sat cross-legged outside the formation, his eyes slightly closed. Although his aura was somewhat weak, he was recovering and regulating his breathing at an astonishing speed.
To build up strength for the next attempt.
"Brother!" Su Zhixiao rushed over to Su Mu as soon as she saw him. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had only exhausted his true energy and was otherwise unharmed.
Immediately, her gaze was drawn to the pile of wrecked, now-rotten gold mannequins on the sidelines, and she couldn't help but gasp, her eyes filled with shock.
撼。
Su Mu opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, met Su Zhixiao's concerned gaze, and smiled slightly. His gaze passed over Xiaoxiao and landed on Shen, who arrived shortly after.
On the body of Qing Shang.
This time, there was no screen to conceal it.
Although Shen Qingshang's face was still veiled, her familiar figure, the contours of her eyes and brows, and her unique aloof temperament were all unmistakably...
It was clearly reflected in Su Mu's eyes.
A snow-white palace gown perfectly accentuated her voluptuous yet graceful figure, the entire outfit covering her form with a refined elegance, much like the pure and innocent image she usually projected.
Coldness and self-discipline.
The snow-white fabric outlined a full and elegant curve at her chest, subtly revealing the ample undulations below; her waist was gently restrained by a jade belt.
Instead, it emphasizes the smooth, rounded curves below the waistline.
This subtly revealed charm was only visible to him, and quietly circulated only within the sect's realm.
Although she was already certain that the person behind the screen was her, seeing her standing so clearly before her still stirred something within Su Mu's heart.
A ripple of emotion flickered in the depths of her gaze, a barely concealed emotion.
Shen Qingshang naturally didn't miss the fleeting emotion in his eyes. She felt both shy and happy, but thankfully, the light veil covering her face barely concealed it.
She lost her composure at that moment.
She forced herself to remain calm, cleared her throat, and tried to keep her voice as steady and authoritative as ever: "Su Mu, that attack just now was incredibly powerful..."
Its power is astonishing. Have you truly understood your own nature?
Su Mu stood up, faced Shen Qingshang, and bowed solemnly: "Reporting to Master, this disciple has indeed realized that Su Mu's true nature is greed."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshang raised an eyebrow slightly. He couldn't help but recall what Zhixiao had just said—that he intended to take all the women from the Mianhua Sect and the Ning Prince's Mansion as his own.
Explanation.
That girl is absolutely right! She really is... greedy with a perfectly justified attitude!
Su Zhixiao, who had just complained to her master, had already forgotten her earlier little bit of "righteous indignation" and hugged Su Mu's arm with a face full of admiration.
He raised his arm and exclaimed excitedly:
"Brother is amazing! He figured out his true nature in just two days! Xiaoxiao was confused for several years before she finally understood!"
Su Mu affectionately ruffled her hair and said gently, "It's also thanks to Xiaoxiao, as well as the senior sisters, Master, and Aunt Gu for their generous teachings."
I tried to integrate your insights and only then did I gain some understanding. Now I'd like to try one more method.
Shen Qingshang's eyes flashed: "Are you planning to incorporate all the insights you've gained these past few days into your fist technique?"
“Exactly!” Su Mu’s eyes were bright and his tone was firm.
Shen Qingshang exchanged a glance with Gu Zhaorong, who was standing next to him.
Xiang Zhaorong nodded slightly, indicating that the array she had set up was complete. The light barrier was solid and thick, its runes radiating a powerful aura.
The power of confinement and defense was comparable in strength to the strange formation that had trapped Su Mu and Li Zhaoning in the peach blossom forest.
"Alright!" Shen Qingshang nodded in agreement without saying anything more. "Give it a try, but remember to act within your capabilities and don't overexert yourself."
"Disciple understands!" Su Mu nodded solemnly to the three women present, then took a deep breath and turned to face the source of the powerful energy.
Dynamic defensive formation
He slowly assumed his stance, his eyes instantly sharpening. First, without hesitation, he compressed his mostly restored internal energy to an extreme level, completely...
Abandoning defense and focusing all his energy on his right fist, a do-or-die spirit arose spontaneously—this is "sacrifice"!
Immediately afterwards, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, his gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of the array's light barrier, precisely capturing the nodes flowing within.
To observe the rhythm and its trajectory—this is the essence of "observation!"
==================================================
Page 159:
Combining this with the knowledge of formations and talismans he had learned from Gu Zhaorong, he quickly deduced the key elements of the formation in an instant.
The key points and weak links.
The next moment, he suddenly exerted force from his waist and abdomen, his body like a fully drawn bow, pulling his right fist, which contained all his strength and will, along a...
A perfectly straight, unadorned trajectory, crashing headlong into the array's light barrier! Wherever the fist passed, the air emitted a sharp, explosive sound—this was the "correct" strike!
"boom!!!"
The fist collided violently with the light barrier! A deafening roar erupted, causing the entire defensive formation to tremble violently, and the light stars flashed wildly.
The character 烁 (shuò) is flickering and uncertain, as if it could collapse at any moment.
But how could the formation that Gu Zhaorong, who had reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, had painstakingly set up be so easily broken? Despite being severely injured, she still stubbornly held on.
Su Mu's punch, too, was not without force! His fist did not retract; instead, it remained firmly planted on the light barrier, as if rooted to the ground, releasing a continuous...
The continuous, heavy force, like a tidal wave, presses forward relentlessly – this is the meaning of "pressure"!
"Sacrifice," "Observe," "Righteousness," "Suppress!" These past two days, I've gleaned seemingly disparate insights into the true meaning of "strength" from different people, coupled with the experience of facing off against "formations."
His experience, with an almost domineering greed, was perfectly integrated into this seemingly simple punch!
The ripples on the array's light barrier grew increasingly violent, twisting and deforming, and the buzzing sound it emitted became more and more piercing, as if it were enduring unimaginable pressure.
pressure.
Finally, with a shattering, teeth-grinding cracking sound, the sturdy defensive formation shattered like broken glass!
boom!!!"
Countless fragments of light scattered like a rainstorm, then quickly dissipated in mid-air, transforming into pure spiritual energy that returned to the world.
Amidst the rain of light, Su Mu slowly withdrew his fist, his back to the crowd, his figure as upright as a pine tree. That resolute posture, that ability to shatter with his own power...
The formidable strength of the team left a deep impression on the three women on the sidelines.
At the same time, an even purer and more powerful aura rose from Su Mu's body, like a sleeping dragon awakening, breaking through...
An invisible barrier. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was drawn to Zhou Zao and spontaneously converged towards him, forming a small vortex.
With a single punch, even the heavens and earth seemed to tremble!
Enlighten your mind and see your true nature; lay the foundation and achieve success!
At this moment, Su Mu officially stepped into the Foundation Establishment realm! And what he used to open the door to this realm was his incomparably open and magnanimous spirit.
-"greedy!

Chapter Seventy-Four: Reunion Dinner (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
It wasn't until the afternoon that the senior uncles and sisters, who had just woken up, gradually learned that Su Mu had not only successfully created his own talisman technique, but had also used it to leapfrog...
He has entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
At the edge of the training ground, the women who had rushed over after hearing the news gradually gathered around Su Mu, who had just undergone a breakthrough and whose aura was still stabilizing.
Each gaze was filled with concern, curiosity, and an undisguised longing.
However, Shen Qingshang stood quietly not far from Su Mu, his cold gaze sweeping over her, exuding an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.
Although the women deeply admired Su Mu, they ultimately dared not be too presumptuous in her presence, and their small gestures of intimacy were mostly superficial.
He stopped abruptly, with a touch of playful probing.
At this moment, Gu Zhaorong had carefully examined Su Mu's meridians and a relieved smile appeared on her face as she announced to everyone:
"Mu'er's foundation building this time is extremely solid, her Qi Sea is full, her meridians are widened, and there is no sign of weakness. It can be said that it was a natural and successful completion."
It's flawless. There's no need for anyone to worry.
"Brother is amazing!" Su Zhixiao stood at the front, looking up at Su Mu, her beautiful eyes sparkling with undisguised admiration.
Worship and pride.
She couldn't wait to rush into her brother's arms and give him a big hug, to share this immense joy.
But seeing her fellow disciples and her master all around, she felt a little embarrassed and simply stayed close to Su Mu.
She quietly tugged at the hem of his clothes.
Su Mu felt the warm gazes surrounding him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He looked around, then solemnly bowed to everyone, his voice sincere and clear: "Su Mu's success today is entirely due to the sect's protection, and even more so to..."
Su Mu deeply appreciates the meticulous guidance and care he has received from his Master, Aunt Gu, and all his fellow disciples. He will forever remember this kindness and gratitude.
"Little Mu, you're too kind! When you go out and explore in the future, just remember to bring back some novelties to broaden your horizons, your senior sisters!" Second Senior Sister said with a smile.
He waved his hand dismissively, his tone relaxed.
The senior sister carefully instructed, "Su Mu, although Foundation Establishment is a major hurdle, the path to immortality is long and the outside world is treacherous. In your future travels, you must always..."
Caution is advised; safety comes first.
"Senior Sister, you're overthinking it," Fourth Sister laughed. "Even if Xiao Mu goes out, she'll definitely come back to the sect often, not to mention there's Xiao Xiao."
With their heads following behind, the brother and sister looking out for each other, what problem could there be?
Everyone chatted amongst themselves, creating a warm and lively atmosphere. Shen Qingshang stood quietly to the side, remaining silent.
She naturally had absolute confidence in Su Mu's strength and character, and wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to handle the challenges. However, as the sect leader, she lacked the ability to...
As I followed the law, a sense of indescribable melancholy inevitably arose in my heart.
Su Mu keenly caught the complex emotion that flashed across her eyes and gave her a reassuring, warm smile.
Immediately, he raised his voice and announced to everyone: "Today, Su Mu is establishing his foundation, and it also happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a double celebration!"
I have prepared the ingredients, and tonight we will hold a feast at the clan's residence, both a celebration and a reunion! Please don't go to bed early, let's all enjoy a meal together.
How about we have a reunion dinner and admire the bright moon together?
"Okay! I want to eat the mooncakes that Xiao Mu made herself!"
"And there's osmanthus wine! We're definitely going to drink to our hearts' content tonight!"
