However, when he saw Ling Taixu's body from the corner of his eyes, Lingyun's expression became strange. This old man, did he only know after experiencing failure personally?

Otherwise, how could he not know his limits and absorb the Fire Elemental Dao foundation materials that he couldn't withstand?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. He couldn't help but wonder if those medicinal herbs were personally tested by his predecessors in the past.

Looking at Ling Yun's expression, how could Ling Taixu not know what he was thinking? His mouth twitched, and with a snort, he said with a dark face, "Little bastard, I still know how much foundation I have to refine."

"Then … this …" Ling Yun looked at him with disdain, and pointed at the body beside Ling Taixu. Can you always tell lies without opening your eyes?

This was evidence!

Ling Taixu sighed, shook his head and explained, "Back then, although I wasn't completely sure about refining the Fiery Solar Crystal, but I do have a seventy percent chance of doing so."

Seventy percent was already a very high success rate.

Many martial artists wouldn't hesitate to choose even 50%, let alone 70%.

"Then what happened?" Ling Yun's gaze slightly congealed, and asked, knowing that there must be some secret.

He clenched his illusory fist tightly and said with a hoarse voice, "Back then, I looked around for Dao Foundation materials, although this matter was hidden, it was done in secret, and there were not many people who knew about it, all for the sake of preventing the news from leaking, bringing about danger to the empire and the family."

Ling Yun slightly nodded his head. The matter of forming one's Tao Foundation was extremely important, and since there were many enemies within the Soaring Cloud Empire, it was natural for him to conceal the news.

Those hostile forces did not wish for the Ling Family to have another Martial Saint to secretly destroy and obstruct them.

After all, many people were aware of what a Martial Saint represented in the Yuan Territory. It meant that there would be a change in the Yuan Territory and many regions would be divided.

Ling Taixu's eyes looked in a certain direction, "While I was searching for the materials for the Tao, I was ambushed by a lot of assassinations. The most dangerous one was attacked by five Quasi-Saints of the second step."

Five quasi sages of the same rank surrounded him. Lingyun took a deep breath, not to mention Ling Taixu who hadn't even started to form his Tao Foundation, even if he did, it would still be disastrous.

In this Yuan Territory, there were definitely not many people who would be able to make such a big move.

"However, although it was dangerous, I managed to escape in the end. I even seriously injured two of them!" A hint of pride appeared on Ling Taixu's face.

This was indeed something worthy of being proud of. He had escaped being besieged by five quasi Saints of the same level, and had also severely injured two of them. Such combat prowess was truly terrifying.

Ling Yun sighed in his heart. If he guessed correctly, Ling Taixu wasn't well at the time!

Perhaps it was due to the fact that the injuries sustained during this battle were so severe that his foundation was damaged, resulting in him failing in the final attempt to form his Dao Foundation.

A proud son of the heavens of this generation had come to an end! What a pity!

Ling Taixu looked at him and seemed to know what he was thinking. He shook his head and said, "Even though I was heavily injured during that battle, I was able to fully recover in time. I did not sustain any hidden injuries, nor did I waver my foundation."

"Then what happened?" Ling Yun was confused.

"Because they know they can't kill me." Ling Taixu smiled. It could be seen that he was very confident in his own strength. Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat as he knew that Ling Taixu would tell him the real reason.

"Thus, among them, there were some who took advantage of the chaos to kill me. They concealed themselves deep within my flesh and blood, very well concealing themselves from my detection.

Normally, it would not explode, but the moment I condense my Fire Elemental Dao Foundation, it will be attracted by the power of fire. "Ling Taixu closed his eyes," So at the last moment, I … "We failed!"
