Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Ji Yunfan’s Foundation Establishment, the Crimson Command Arrow
Buzz!
As Ji Bochang’s voice fell, the spiritual energy around grew increasingly turbulent.
Along with the pressure unique to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it became ever clearer and more distinct.
Finally.
As time passed slightly, a Divine Sense belonging to a Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly swept past them.
At this moment, both Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang wore subtle smiles on their faces.
From this moment on, Ji Yunfan’s accomplishment in entering the Foundation Establishment was beyond doubt.
Swish—
Simultaneously, Ji Yunfan’s figure suddenly dashed out from his cultivation abode.
Within a few flickers, he appeared in front of Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang.
It was evident that he was exceedingly excited at this moment.
Upon seeing Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang, he immediately paid his respects with a grateful face.
"Yunfan thanks Uncle and Ancestor for your nurturing!
This breakthrough went smoothly, thankfully not disappointing Uncle and Ancestor."
Hearing this, Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang exchanged glances.
They both saw some amusement in each other’s eyes.
Ji Bochang then said, "Alright, Yunfan, now that you’ve achieved Foundation Establishment, there’s no need for such formality in front of us from now on."
Ji Haoyuan also smiled and said, "Indeed, your Foundation Establishment is another joyful occasion for our Ji Family.
Here are some cultivation resources you might need presently, take these and strive to consolidate your cultivation soon."
With that, Ji Haoyuan retrieved a Storage Bag from himself and handed it to Ji Yunfan.
Ji Yunfan immediately accepted gratefully.
"Thank you, Uncle. Yunfan will not let you or Ancestor down in the future."
"Mm, go ahead, we’ll discuss everything once you’ve consolidated your cultivation."
Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang nodded while smiling.
When Ji Yunfan returned to his abode, Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang suddenly saw a crimson Command Arrow flying from the distant sky.
This instantly made their joyful expressions turn solemn, their gazes also became serious.
For they recognized immediately, that crimson Command Arrow was issued by the Crimson Sunset Sect.
In the Crimson Sunset Sect, crimson symbolizes the highest.
This signifies that the Command Arrow is the highest level one from the Crimson Sunset Sect.
At such a time, when the Crimson Sunset Sect sends this highest level crimson Command Arrow to the Ji Family, its implications are self-evident.
Upon receiving the Command Arrow and reading the information within, their already solemn expressions became even more somber.
Simply because the Command Arrow carried only one sentence.
"Send a representative to our sect quickly to discuss matters of major warfare."
The said major warfare, what kind of warfare it refers to, any perceptive person could guess.
And judging by the tone, it was evidently urgent and without allowance for much delay.
"Ancestor, let me handle this matter."
After a brief pause.
Ji Haoyuan set down the Command Arrow and spoke to Ji Bochang.
He vaguely sensed that this journey to the Crimson Sunset Sect might not be so straightforward, perhaps something unexpected could occur.
Though Ji Bochang did not understand the reason, with his years of experience, he sensed some oddities, and his face immediately showed a hint of worry.
"Haoyuan, let me tackle this matter.
In case anything truly happens..."
However, this time Ji Haoyuan interrupted him before Ji Bochang could finish.
"Alright, Ancestor, I have made my decision; you do not need to argue further with me.
With my capabilities, I can handle any unforeseen circumstances.
Moving forward, the family will still require your attention,
including Yunfan, who will need your protection as well."
In this moment, Ji Haoyuan unusually displayed a streak of firmness, making Ji Bochang, the Ancestor, bewildered momentarily.
But soon, Ji Haoyuan’s face revealed a soft smile again.
"Alright, Ancestor, delay is impermissible; I must head there immediately.
Your efforts for the family and Yunfan will be greatly appreciated."
After saying these words, Ji Haoyuan did not linger, leaping and transforming into a rainbow, disappearing instantly at the horizon.
The Crimson Sunset Sect, the supreme force south of the Hongduan Mountain Range area.
The sect has two Golden Core cultivators overseeing it.
Its mountain gate Red Sun Peak is also the only third-tier Spirit Peak in this boundary of thousands of miles.
The mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist of spiritual essence year-round, with spiritual birds soaring.
Whenever the sun sets, even Red Sun Essence Qi descends from the high sky forming crimson golden rings atop the mountain.
So magnificent.
When Ji Haoyuan drove his Escape Light to the gate of the Crimson Sunset Sect, he saw crimson golden Fire Lotuses, floating high in the distant sky.
That was the external manifestation of the Crimson Sunset Sect’s third-tier Mountain Protection Array, the Celestial Fire Lotus Array.
"May I ask who you are? And what is your purpose in coming to our Crimson Sunset Sect?"
At that moment, a middle-aged cultivator in a crimson dao robe appeared before Ji Haoyuan.
This person’s aura was quite strong, with faint flickers of flame in his eyes.
Just standing there gave an inexplicable sense of heat.
An advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Ji Haoyuan was slightly surprised in his heart.
For if he remembered correctly, any cultivator reaching the late Foundation Establishment could hold an elder position within the Crimson Sunset Sect.
Unexpectedly, this individual appeared at the Crimson Sunset Sect’s gate.
Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan promptly greeted courteously:
"I am Ji Haoyuan of the Ji Family from Qianyang Mountain. May I ask how your sect’s Elder should be addressed?"
While speaking, Ji Haoyuan proactively released a trace of aura, unique to advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Sensing Ji Haoyuan’s aura, the crimson-robed middle-aged cultivator’s previously indifferent expression immediately showed surprise.
Indeed, a cultivator at advanced Foundation Establishment?
At this moment, he offered a smile and reciprocated the greeting to Ji Haoyuan.
"So you are a fellow cultivator from the Ji Family of Qianyang Mountain. I am Su Wen Yuan from the Crimson Sunset Sect."
After a pause, Su Wen Yuan continued:
"Ji Daoist, you must’ve been summoned here by our sect’s crimson Command Arrow, right?
Please allow me to examine the Command Arrow you’ve received."
This was also inevitable.
After all, those summoned this time were Foundation Establishment cultivators from various family forces.
Only by coming with their Crimson Sunset Sect’s Command Arrow could their identity be confirmed.
Regarding this, Ji Haoyuan was well aware too, immediately producing the crimson Command Arrow he had received before and handed it to Su Wen Yuan.
After Su Wen Yuan took the Command Arrow and confirmed its authenticity, he instantly gestured in invitation to Ji Haoyuan with a smile.
"Ji Daoist, you’ve come a long way, please follow me."
Saying this, Su Wen Yuan led the way.
Ji Haoyuan followed behind him.
Musing inwardly.
He discreetly handed a Storage Bag to Su Wen Yuan.
While transmitting a sound thought: "Elder Su, I came out in a rush and didn’t prepare any proper gifts, so all I have is a modest token, please do not mind."
