Chapter 66 Requirements for Perfect Foundation Building
Yang Changsheng possesses a low-grade spiritual root of the Five Elements, with the sensitivity of his water spiritual root approaching that of a mid-grade root, but it is still considered an extremely poor aptitude with a 10% probability of being born with it.
Therefore, if he wants to establish his foundation, he must obtain a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill, and his physical body, magical power, and spiritual consciousness must all reach the perfect state of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Even so, the probability of passing the test is still not high, at most only 50%.
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, a cultivator is considered to have truly embarked on the path of immortality, gaining a lifespan of 260 years, enough to witness the rise and fall of several generations of mortals.
Within the two thousand miles of the Azure Lake region, there are numerous small cultivation families, with the Lu family being particularly powerful. Yet, even so, they only have three Foundation Establishment ancestors, and their ages vary greatly.
The difficulty involved is unimaginable.
If this is the case for established forces, it is even more difficult for independent cultivators. Just reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining perfection before the age of fifty is a hellish challenge.
If you want to increase your chances of success, you need to cultivate spiritual techniques and refine your body, which requires an unknown amount of resources and effort.
"Fortunately, I have the Longevity Body. I still have 460 years left. There's no need to rush. As long as I steadily improve, I can pursue the perfect realm."
Yang Changsheng squeezed the jade slip to pieces, erasing its secrets forever.
The three requirements for perfect foundation building are: physical strength reaching the extreme level of 100,000, abundant mana almost to the point of semi-liquefaction, and the ability to project divine sense to cover a radius of 100 feet.
These are all far beyond the perfection level of others of the same level. Even the most outstanding talents in a sect cannot do this, because they do not have the energy and resources to do so.
With that much time, they would have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and sought the Golden Core Dao, instead of wasting their lifespan.
"I am confident that my physical strength can reach the level of 100,000 or above, but I need to seek out more advanced cultivation methods to achieve my magical power and divine sense. I also need a Foundation Establishment Pill to be prepared for any eventuality."
He looked out at the vast, clear lake, his mind filled with thoughts, especially gratitude for the girl's parting gift.
If she hadn't left behind such a big secret, I don't know how many detours I would have taken, or even encountered danger in the future.
This is an enormous debt of gratitude; even if it cannot be repaid, it must be kept in mind.
After leaving Zuixianlou, Yang Changsheng went straight to the street of rogue cultivators to buy up discarded pills and materials for puppets.
He wanted to earn a large amount of spirit stones to improve his cultivation level and make various preparations for the future Foundation Establishment.
……
Time flies, and years pass by.
Time is like a never-ending river, flowing on and never turning back.
Three years passed silently through Yang Changsheng's monotonous cycle of cultivation, puppet making, spiritual plant cultivation, and purification of waste pills.
"Is a breakthrough finally imminent?"
Deep within the courtyard, Yang Changsheng sat cross-legged in the center of the master bedroom, where a simple spirit-gathering array had been set up.
At this moment, wisps of spiritual energy, slightly more concentrated than that of the outside world, gathered around him.
He focused his mind and concentrated on the Xuan Yuan Technique circulating within his body.
Within his dantian, the magical power accumulated over three years was already bulging and overflowing.
At this moment, under the full control and guidance of his divine sense, it was like a tamed dragon, surging and roaring along the meridians of his body, endlessly cycling through one cycle after another.
Each cycle made the river of magic even more powerful, and a faint rumbling sound resonated through his meridians.
This magical power is quite different from that of ordinary cultivators, containing a unique life force originating from the deepest part of the sea of consciousness, the imprint of the golden ancient tree.
This gives it a sense of peace, but also a sense of continuous vitality, like a life-giving river that nourishes all things.
The water spirit root continuously gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the spirit-gathering array, and uses it in conjunction with the cultivation technique to circulate, refine, and purify it within the body, before it flows into the surging river of magical power.
The opportunity for a breakthrough finally reached its peak after the tenth cycle!
The accumulated power reached a critical point, and the torrent of magical energy within the meridians seemed to crash into an invisible, resilient barrier, producing a dull thud.
Yang Changsheng's calm and composed state of mind suddenly solidified, and he guided his divine sense with all his might, transforming it into an invincible torrent that fiercely impacted that point!
"Pop!"
It was as if a soft sound, like a jade bottle shattering, came from deep within her body, and the shackles broke in response.
The abundant new energy instantly broke through the previously blocked path, and the surging aura spread out from him, creating an invisible spiritual pressure.
The total amount of magical power flowing within his body increased by nearly 20% at the moment of breakthrough, becoming incredibly abundant.
At the same time, a faint light flashed in his sea of consciousness, and the range of his divine sense perception also increased, steadily expanding to a radius of eight zhang, revealing every detail.
Having achieved the breakthrough, Yang Changsheng did not relax.
He immediately calmed his mind and redirected the surging magical power within his body, allowing it to settle and stabilize along his meridians.
The Profound Origin Technique continued to operate, and the Water Spirit Root continuously absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array, refining it into pure magical power.
Gradually filling the fifth layer of Qi Refining, the even more expansive Dantian Qi Sea, until reaching the limit that this realm can contain.
Two hours later, the last trace of restless magical power subsided, and all the momentum stabilized.
Yang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes. His dark pupils were as deep as an ancient well, showing no elation after his breakthrough, only a calm and matter-of-fact demeanor.
"Five levels of Qi Refining, done."
He muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the silent meditation room.
Admittedly, after the mid-stage of Qi Refining, each advancement becomes significantly more difficult, often requiring several years of effort.
Even with a large amount of pills, ordinary cultivators with low-grade spiritual roots will still find it difficult to move forward, needing time to absorb the medicinal power and expel the pill toxins.
However, Yang Changsheng was different.
The life force bestowed by the Golden Ancient Tree Imprint in the Sea of Consciousness can not only nourish the physical body and enhance self-healing.
Furthermore, when he circulated his cultivation technique, he spontaneously purified the essence of the medicine he had swallowed, quietly dissolving the stubborn impurities and toxicity within it.
In addition, the flawless and leak-free nature of his immortal body makes his absorption and transformation efficiency of medicinal power reach an astonishing level, with almost no waste or dissipation.
Therefore, even if he only has a low-grade water spiritual root, under conditions of sufficient resources, his cultivation speed is comparable to or even surpasses that of ordinary mid-grade spiritual root cultivators.
This seemingly effortless breakthrough is the result of a perfect combination of daily hard work and innate talent.
The brief ripples brought about by breaking through to a higher realm quickly subsided.
Without any delay, Yang Changsheng got up from his bed and went straight to the second bedroom, which was a puppet workshop he had specially built.
Pushing open the door, a unique aroma, a blend of metallic coldness, the fragrance of spirit wood, and a faint burnt smell, wafts out.
The workshop was well-lit, with tools neatly arranged on the walls and various semi-finished metal components and spirit wood blocks scattered on the worktables.
On the central engraving platform, a piece of reddish-brown copper core plate, warm to the touch, lies quietly.
He walked to the engraving table, took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly became incredibly focused.
He raised his hand and picked up the exceptionally sharp engraving knife, its blade gleaming with a faint light.
With a slight release of magical power from his fingertips, he activated a tiny spiritual array inside the carving knife, causing the tip to instantly emit an invisible, sharp aura about an inch long.
