Chapter Five: Tenfold Return on Cultivation, Perfect Foundation Established!
Page 1/3
Saying this, Lin Jun took the Hunyuan Immortal Scripture from his bosom, replacing the Myriad Dao True Scripture. Looking at the little dog excitedly holding the scripture in its mouth, Lin Jun’s eyes revealed a hint of envy.
“You little fellow, with my help, you’re destined to become a great emperor one day…”
Although the little black dog didn’t quite understand what he meant, since the master wanted to switch scriptures, it obediently complied. It happily trotted off to the side chamber to cultivate, wagging its little tail with the Hunyuan Immortal Scripture clenched in its mouth.
Watching his disciple’s retreating figure, Lin Jun’s lips curved slightly as he sighed, “In my sect, I’m not allowed to be low-key, huh…”
…
A day passed quickly, and night soon fell.
Lin Jun took a fasting pill and went to bed early.
However, in the side chamber, the little black dog had finally finished reading the first volume of the Hunyuan Immortal Scripture.
“Woof… woof woof, woof? Woof woof woof!”
The dog pondered, seeming to grasp several key points of the first volume of the Hunyuan Immortal Scripture.
Then it stretched its short legs, walked to the mountain gate, and, bathed in the clear moonlight, began to cultivate.
Boom!
The moment it tried to operate the Hunyuan Immortal Scripture, it felt as if the heavens and earth trembled slightly.
Immediately, a surge of spiritual energy along with the moonlight rushed toward it!
Qi Refining Stage One, Qi Refining Stage Five, Qi Refining Stage Nine…
In less than a quarter hour, the little black dog had surprisingly reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage!
It was only one step away from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
One must know, even the human prodigies need several years to advance from having no cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining!
“Woof!”
Feeling the abundant spiritual energy within, the little black dog happily continued to cultivate.
Since Ji Qingyou was secluded within a barrier formation, she was completely unaware of the astonishing commotion caused by the imperial-level cultivation method on Myriad Dao Peak.

Early the next morning, Lin Jun woke feeling refreshed.
The resentment from being betrayed by Lin Qingxuan had completely vanished.
“Huh? Wait, why have I broken through to Foundation Establishment already?”
Sensing the unprecedented fullness of spiritual energy within, Lin Jun was pleasantly surprised.
Looking inward at his dantian, he discovered it contained a full twelve spirit platforms!
This was… the mark of a perfect Foundation Establishment!
Moreover, it was already a complete Foundation Establishment!
For ordinary cultivators, three spirit platforms signify the peak of Foundation Establishment, but undoubtedly, the more spirit platforms one has, the more solid their foundation.
“This must be from Ye Zhetian. Ji Qingyou probably can’t cultivate this fast. Tenfold return… by that calculation, Ye Zhetian has broken through to the initial Foundation Establishment stage?”
Just stepping out of the sect leader’s hall, he immediately spotted the little black dog.
It was floating in the air, absorbing sunlight, with spiritual energy swirling chaotically around its body.
Indeed, it had already reached the initial Foundation Establishment stage!
Furthermore, Lin Jun could feel it was far stronger than most Foundation Establishment beginners!
Because of its special bloodline, even late Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be its match!
Seeing his master emerge, the little black dog immediately stopped cultivating and flew straight into his embrace.
As for Ji Qingyou, she still seemed immersed in her seclusion, oblivious to the outside world.
“Woof woof! Woof!”
The little black dog wagged its tail excitedly, seemingly wanting to share its cultivation achievements with its master.
Unfortunately, it still couldn’t speak human language.
Lin Jun patted its head with satisfaction. “My disciple, you’re a good dog. You worked so hard from the start and broke through to Foundation Establishment overnight. Even humans can’t compare to you. Hmm, your master has decided to reward you!”
After a night of cultivation, the little black dog could fully understand human speech, but its throat bones hadn’t yet been refined, so it still couldn’t speak.
Upon hearing this, it barked happily twice and wagged its tail vigorously, as if thanking its master.
Lin Jun smiled and nodded, flipping his palm to reveal a large seal.
This was the Myriad Dao Seal, a rare mysterious-grade magical artifact only granted to the sect’s most accomplished disciples. It had the power to suppress all, and its hardness could crush enemies; it was a precious treasure.
In the Xuanyuan world, magical artifacts were ranked Yellow, Mysterious, Earth, and Heaven grade, with legendary ones beyond that.
The entire Myriad Sword Sect possessed only one Earth-grade artifact, the sect’s treasured heavenly sword held by the Heavenly Sword Venerable.
However, as soon as Lin Jun bestowed the Myriad Dao Seal upon the little black dog, he encountered a problem.
Because the little black dog was just a dog, its paws couldn’t grasp such a large seal!
Unexpectedly, the little black dog barked once and directly took the seal in its mouth!
Clamping the handle with its jaws, it flew into the air, flicking its small head sharply.
Boom!
A powerful spiritual pressure erupted, shattering a ten-meter boulder nearby.
Lin Jun was stunned—this power was already equivalent to an all-out strike from a late Foundation Establishment cultivator!
[Hundredfold return successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Earth-grade magical artifact Myriad Dao All-Heaven Seal!]
The next moment, a seal radiating crystalline and mysterious light appeared in his hand!

He felt a heavy weight in his palm.
If he hadn’t already possessed cultivation, he truly wouldn’t have been able to hold this seal.
The little black dog thought it had appeared out of thin air, gazing at its master with admiration— to it, Lin Jun was no less than a deity.
Lin Jun didn’t hesitate and directly granted the Myriad Dao All-Heaven Seal to the little black dog.
With the hundredfold return, he felt no regret at all!
“Here, disciple, try this.”
The little black dog barked in agreement, carefully placing the Myriad Dao Seal on the ground and gripping the handle of the All-Heaven Seal with its mouth.
Immediately, its entire being—no, its entire dog aura—soared, even causing Lin Jun, who was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, to feel oppressed.
Rumble!
The little black dog lightly shook its head, and a wave of black spiritual light burst forth, demolishing more than half of the cliff at Myriad Dao Peak!
This was already equivalent to a full-strength strike from someone at the Golden Core stage!
“Hahaha, good disciple! I never expected that in just one day you’d surpass Lin Qingxuan with ease. What about the Young Sect Leader’s competition in a month? You’ll surely be the one to watch!”
“You’re clearly the rightful Young Sect Leader of the Great Dao Sect!”
Lin Jun praised his disciple enthusiastically, then taught it how to store magical artifacts within its body and hung a storage pouch around its neck.
After all, some things must be hidden away. This Earth-grade treasure, the Myriad Dao All-Heaven Seal, was now more powerful than the Great Dao Sect’s own treasure. Keeping it secure and using it in battle would be a deadly advantage!
Afterward, Lin Jun taught it some battle tactics, which the little black dog half-understood.
Meanwhile, Lin Jun felt a bit puzzled—such a huge commotion outside, yet his female disciple hadn’t come out to see.
Could it be that an isolation formation was set around the Pure Heart Hall?
Lin Jun glanced over but, having just accepted disciples, felt awkward to ask.
Seeing the little black dog store the All-Heaven Seal inside itself, Lin Jun nodded with satisfaction and prepared to continue guiding its cultivation.
Just then, several figures riding flying swords rapidly approached Myriad Dao Peak.
They stopped beneath the mountain gate but didn’t descend.
One of the figures, an outer disciple from Heavenly Sword Peak, casually tossed a token to Lin Jun and arrogantly said,
“Uncle Lin, the sect’s Ancient Secret Realm, the Ten Thousand Insect Nest, has opened. The sect master sent me to notify you. With this token, your disciples may enter to train.”
Pausing, the disciple sneered, “I advise Uncle Lu to give up this chance to avoid humiliation. After all, your disciples are just a dog and a delicate princess. If you enter the Ten Thousand Insect Nest and run into Senior Brother Lin Qingxuan, your sect might face annihilation. Hahaha!”
