In the world, every living being is deeply afraid of tribulation lightning. Even a fairy, evolved from mere food and earth, was almost scared to death when it sensed the power of tribulation lightning within that bolt. It desperately activated its protective divine light.
A fiery red, transparent spherical light shield enveloped it.
Boom!
A bolt of tribulation lightning, as thick as an arm, struck its protective divine light shield.
The shield was indeed strong and managed to block the power of the tribulation lightning.
Guo Feilong felt a bit disappointed, but he knew this was normal. After all, the opponent was comparable to a Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator, while he was merely a Qi Refining stage cultivator, two major stages apart.
At this moment, the fairy, comparable to a Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator, seeing its protective shield withstand the tribulation lightning, glared fiercely at Guo Feilong but dared not approach.
It was afraid! After all, that was the power of lightning with a hint of tribulation aura, a natural fear, like a mouse encountering a cat.
But it couldn't understand why a mere human could release lightning with the aura of tribulation. It defied logic! Absolutely defied logic!
"Damn it, I'll add some auspicious clouds and try again. Even if I can't kill it, I'll make it run," Guo Feilong thought as he saw the opponent not retreating. He immediately infused his mystic power and auspicious clouds into his humanoid metal sacred treasure.
In the next instant, lightning appeared on the humanoid metal lifebound sacred treasure. Guo Feilong infused it with 200 auspicious clouds, unsure how much the power of tribulation lightning would be amplified.
Buzz!
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a dish, shot out.
Boom!
The lightning struck the opponent's red protective shield.
With a crisp crack, the red protective shield showed cracks.
Seeing this, Guo Feilong was delighted and gritted his teeth, continuing to infuse mystic power into his lifebound sacred treasure.
As the mystic power increased, the thickness of the lightning also grew.
With a loud boom, the red protective shield shattered, and the lightning struck the opponent.
The fairy, comparable to a Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator, let out a miserable scream and fled, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

It wasn't killed, just injured. As for how severe the injury was, Guo Feilong didn't know.
A fairy comparable to a Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator had a body as tough as a sacred treasure, not easily killed. Sacred treasures weren't easily destroyed, and Guo Feilong realized that his lifebound sacred treasure could harm a Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator but couldn't kill it.
It wasn't that his lifebound sacred treasure wasn't powerful, but his cultivation stage was too far behind the opponent's. No matter how powerful the lifebound sacred treasure was, it wasn't enough.
Ten days later, Guo Feilong emerged from the Dark Forest, and at that moment, a group of seven or eight cultivators flew toward him.
Among them, the highest cultivation was a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, while the others were either at the seventh or eighth level.
They all wore uniform white robes, with a silver flying sword emblem embroidered on the left chest, and three words below it—Cloud Sword Sect.
The Cloud Sword Sect's strength was similar to that of the Spirit Creek Sect. However, the cultivators of this sect were skilled in the art of flying swords, making them formidable.
In one-on-one situations, cultivators from other sects generally couldn't defeat those from the Cloud Sword Sect. This led to Cloud Sword Sect cultivators being arrogant and domineering when venturing outside, acting as if they were the top of the world.
Now, with their numbers, they naturally saw Guo Feilong, just out of the Dark Forest, as easy prey.
Typically, cultivators emerging from the Dark Forest would have some gains. So, the seven or eight Cloud Sword Sect cultivators surrounded Guo Feilong.
The ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator from the Cloud Sword Sect said, "If you know what's good for you, hand over your storage bag and spiritual beast bag, or today next year will be your death anniversary."
Killing and treasure hunting were common in the cultivation world, and these people spoke and acted with such familiarity, clearly not their first time doing this.
There was no way Guo Feilong would hand over his storage bag and spiritual beast bag. Without a word, he tapped his waist storage bag, and a top-grade flying sword appeared before him. With a pinch of the spell, the flying sword shot toward the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator of the Cloud Sword Sect.
"A mere wandering cultivator dares to use a flying sword in front of a Cloud Sword Sect cultivator. Truly ignorant of the vastness of the heavens and earth," the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator of the Cloud Sword Sect said, not taking Guo Feilong seriously.
He also had a top-grade flying sword. A Qi Refining stage cultivator who could afford a top-grade flying sword wasn't an ordinary cultivator.
Clang!
The two flying swords collided.
In the next moment, the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator of the Cloud Sword Sect was shocked. His flying sword was knocked away by the opponent's.
He didn't know Guo Feilong was at the tenth level of Qi Refining because Guo Feilong wore a spiritual instrument that concealed his cultivation. The cultivation stage he displayed was the ninth level of Qi Refining.
In the absence of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators were the pinnacle, not to be underestimated wherever they went, reducing many unnecessary troubles.
"Senior Brother, be careful!" someone warned.
However, the warning was futile.
Guo Feilong's top-grade flying sword severed the opponent's neck, and the head rolled off, followed by the body falling from the flying spiritual beast.
To eliminate future troubles, Guo Feilong unleashed his tenth-level Qi Refining cultivation, releasing several ninth-rank flying spiritual beasts, quickly killing the remaining Cloud Sword Sect cultivators.
He collected the storage bags and spiritual beast bags from the corpses, then had a fire-breathing spiritual beast incinerate their bodies to ashes.
He began inspecting the storage bags, discarding anything with Cloud Sword Sect markings, keeping only items unrelated to the sect.
As for the wealth in these storage bags, Guo Feilong didn't even glance at it. Not to mention the wealth of these Qi Refining stage cultivators, even the wealth of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator wouldn't catch his eye.
After all, in the five or six months he spent in the Dark Forest, he accumulated wealth that even a typical Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator couldn't match.
However, he did find a Nine Sword Technique swordsmanship inheritance in the storage bag of the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator from the Cloud Sword Sect, which allowed simultaneous control of nine flying swords against enemies.
Moreover, the nine flying swords could form a Qiankun Sword Formation, a sword formation with immense power.
The Nine Sword Technique was a well-known technique of the Cloud Sword Sect, reserved for elite inner sect members.
If someone else learned this sword technique and the Cloud Sword Sect found out, it would lead to relentless pursuit.
Guo Feilong wasn't afraid because he didn't plan to use the Cloud Sword Sect's Nine Sword Technique in battle. He wanted to learn the method of controlling multiple spiritual instruments simultaneously.
A few days later, Guo Feilong finally returned home to Yellow Rock Town. Having not enjoyed conjugal life for half a year, upon his return, he stayed in his room for half a month without leaving, with several beautiful wives and concubines lining up to enter his room each day.
They all left the room utterly satisfied.
After half a month of bliss, Guo Feilong gave his wives, Sun Yufeng and Wang Yuyan, each a high-quality spirit stone matching their attributes and a Ninth Grade Foundation Pill he personally refined.
Then, Guo Feilong entered the underground chamber, activated the defensive formation within, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began his Foundation Establishment.
