Chapter 43: Grand Scene
After a hearty meal in the spiritual hall, Lin Mu returned to the courtyard.
The night came quietly, the starry sky was bright and the night was charming.
Lin Mu took out a straw mat from the quiet room and spread it under the ancient tree in the courtyard. Lin Mu lay on the straw mat and looked at the starry sky.
On the eve of the big competition, Lin Mu had no intention of practicing. He wanted to have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's competition.
Lin Mu had long been accustomed to practicing diligently day and night. At this moment, Lin Mu couldn't fall asleep no matter how luxuriously he rested. The stars in the sky were twinkling, and Lin Mu looked at the starry sky quietly, his mind flying away.
It was not until midnight that Lin Mu fell asleep.
The moonlight poured down from the sky, through the leaves, and sprinkled on Lin Mu's whole body. The jade pendant on Lin Mu's chest flashed a faint misty light.
The bright moonlight shone on Lin Mu's face. At this moment, Lin Mu did not have the shrewdness and worries when he was awake. He had a peaceful face and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. He was clearly a simple boy.
That night, Lin Mu slept soundly.
No, it should be midnight.
At dawn, Lin Mu woke up from his sleep.
The violent fluctuations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him made Lin Mu think that someone was fighting fiercely in the distance.
A golden light rose not far from Lin Mu and rushed into the sky. In the dark night before dawn, it was dazzling.
This is a scene that only appears when the foundation is built. This bright light shows that someone in the sect has successfully built the foundation.
Lin Mu has only seen this scene twice since he entered Qianyu Sword Sect.
The first time this happened, Lin Mu had just entered the sect and was ignorant. At that time, thousands of people in the sect watched and cheered. Lin Mu also cheered. He heard that this was the foundation. At that time, he didn't know what the foundation was. The second time he saw this scene, Lin Mu had been in the sect for three years, but his cultivation was only the third level of Qi Refining. He lived in the cold words of everyone all day long, and he knew that he had no hope of building a foundation in this life. That night, Lin Mu stood in the cold wind, looking at the bright light that reached the sky, crying silently. The tears dried in the cold wind and froze his cheeks. From then on, he never smiled sincerely again.
This time, Lin Mu looked at the familiar light again, and his mood was different from before.
Lin Mu had a smile on his face, but he himself couldn't tell whether this smile was real or fake.
Such a grand scene rarely appears in the sect, and sometimes it may not appear once in a few years. The sect was already alarmed, and some disciples with low cultivation were still asleep. Due to their cultivation, they could not perceive such spiritual fluctuations. But the lively exclamations woke them up, and after waking up, they immediately joined the ranks of admiration.
Many disciples ran around to tell each other, calling friends and companions, and asked people to come out to see this beautiful scene.
Many cultivators would find it difficult to create such a scene in their entire lives.
Everyone looked at the dazzling and charming golden light, some yearned for it, some envied it, some were lost, and some were sad as death.
Everyone ran towards the golden light, wanting to see who was so lucky to have successfully established a foundation.
After establishing a foundation, life span doubled to more than 200 years, which was beyond the realm of ordinary people.
Lin Mu did not go to watch, but just performed the "Wind Control Technique", quietly floating in the air, looking at the golden light in the sky, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Before the disciples who went to watch ran to the golden light, the golden light in the sky suddenly dissipated without a trace.
Everyone sighed that they had no chance to watch the foundation building scene up close, and they were very regretful in their words.
At this moment, Lin Mu suddenly found that a green light from the East Peak rushed straight into the sky.
It was exactly the same as the golden light just now!
Two people established a foundation at the same time?
The onlookers did not bother to discuss anymore, and each showed their ability, and ran towards the East Peak.
This time, they couldn't miss it!
Two people established a foundation at the same time, such a scene has not appeared in the sect for ten years.
Everyone was glad that they woke up tonight and could witness the scene of two people building their foundations at the same time.
Lin Mu looked at the bright green light, his heart moved, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This green light is the color that will appear when a cultivator with wood spiritual roots builds his foundation.
When a cultivator builds his foundation, the light that rushes into the sky is dazzling and charming. But the color has long been determined. The color of this light is related to the cultivator's natural spiritual roots.
Fire spiritual roots correspond to red, water spiritual roots correspond to cyan, earth spiritual roots correspond to gray, gold spiritual roots correspond to gold, and wood spiritual roots correspond to green.
If it is a dual-system spiritual root or a triple-system spiritual root, the color that appears when building the foundation is based on the cultivator's strongest spiritual root.
The two people who just built their foundations, one is gold and the other is green, corresponding to the gold spiritual root cultivator and the wood spiritual root cultivator respectively.
In other words, the strongest spiritual roots of these two people are gold and wood.
Lin Mu thought of someone who also said that he was a wood spiritual root.
Isn't this green light that reaches the sky the corresponding wood spiritual root? Moreover, more importantly, that person lives in the East Peak.
Lin Mu's guess was correct.
The female disciples in the Qunfang Courtyard were much luckier than the male disciples. They just regretted that they didn't see the golden light up close. Unexpectedly, just as they sighed, a green light rose up from a place very close to them.
The closer you are to the water, the sooner you see the moon. They all ran towards the place where the green light was.
This time, they saw it very clearly.
Yunmeng, standing in her own courtyard, also saw it clearly.
Because the person who had built the foundation was her good friend, the most beautiful woman in the sect, Mu Qing.
When the male disciples arrived at the East Peak panting, the light had disappeared.
The female disciples made fun of them, making them feel ashamed.
At this moment, another red light rose from the West Peak, illuminating the entire night sky.
Lin Mu was also shocked. The color of the light during the foundation building is not only related to the strength of the cultivation, but also to the strength of the spiritual roots.
Even for those who have just built the foundation, the cultivation is also different. This is even more true for spiritual roots, whose strength is determined by nature.
The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the spiritual root, the more violent the fluctuation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when building the foundation, and the more dazzling the sky-high light.
Lin Mu suspected that the person who had just built the foundation was most likely a cultivator with a single spiritual root of the fire system.
The sky-high red light dyed the dark night sky, and the beauty of this moment was fascinating.
Many disciples were also stunned on the spot. What happened?
Everything seemed like a dream, and the grand scene tonight was really exciting.
Everyone ignored their fatigue and rushed back to the West Peak again.
Everyone's efforts were in vain. After they arrived at the West Peak, the red light slowly disappeared. But they were lucky this time. The red light lasted a little longer than the previous two, and they were lucky to see the last glimmer of glory.
As soon as the red light disappeared, another green light rose next to it.
This time, it was at the West Peak!
Everyone quickly rushed to the front and took a closer look.
However, this green light was not as good as the red light in terms of color or beauty.
Everyone commented on it, saying that this green light was too inferior to the red light.
However, they did not know that even the most inferior white light was created by someone who had already established a foundation, far surpassing these outer disciples.
The green light slowly disappeared amid the criticism of the crowd.
If it were in the past, this water-based spiritual root cultivator would have been praised. However, he was building a foundation today, and in comparison, he became the last one and was ridiculed by everyone.
After the green light disappeared, everyone still surrounded it. Four people built a foundation tonight.
This scene is rare in Qianyu Sword Gate for a hundred years.
Everyone is looking forward to whether someone will build a foundation again, making the beauty of this night even more gorgeous.
Five people building a foundation at the same time means that the day of Qianyu Sword Gate's prosperity is coming.
However, will such a thing really happen?
Everyone waited quietly. The last darkness before dawn was about to pass. After dawn, even if someone built a foundation, the scenery would be much worse. No matter how brilliant the light was, it would be eclipsed in the daylight.
The night was the best background for the light!
The night was even darker, as dark as ink. Everyone was anxious and waiting patiently.
But as time passed, the anxiety became more and more, and the disappointment became greater and greater.
Finally, someone became impatient and shouted, "Don't wait, everyone go away."
As soon as the voice fell and the crowd was about to disperse, a golden light suddenly rose to the sky!
In the dark night sky, the brilliance was fully displayed.
The fifth!
Overnight, five disciples of Qianyu Sword Gate succeeded in building a foundation!
This grand occasion has never happened in Qianyu Sword Gate before!
The golden light slowly dissipated, but the crowd refused to disperse for a long time. Everyone had no sleepiness, and they were all excited and talking.
After the golden light disappeared, few people noticed that a gray light also rose in the direction of Nuanyun Valley.
Lin Mu looked at the gray light standing in the air, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
This gray is the darkest, not only is the color close to the night, but also the duration is very short.
Lin Mu saw at a glance that this person's spiritual roots are very poor.
Lin Mu couldn't help but think of an acquaintance of his, who was a four-element spiritual root that was only slightly better than himself.
This is the sixth person!
Qianyu Sword Sect, six people built their foundation overnight!
This is a grand occasion.
But Lin Mu also knew that this was also a signal of the coming storm.
Everything has just begun!
