#372 - Advanced foundation building stage
The Frog Saint's keenness and loyalty were on full display at this moment. It unhesitatingly mobilized the entire Little Azure Mountain's array, pouring the stored vast spiritual energy towards Li Chengfeng like a tidal wave, helping him break through his cultivation bottleneck.
This scene not only shocked Lan Qianxue but also made him deeply aware of Li Chengfeng's unimaginable strength and potential.
The shock in Lan Qianxue's heart was indescribable. He had never seen such a spectacular cultivation scene, let alone expected that Li Chengfeng, with his background as a rogue cultivator, could reach this point today.
All pride and complacency were completely shattered at this moment, replaced by deep awe and a sense of inferiority towards Li Chengfeng.
She realized that, compared to Li Chengfeng, her past achievements and self-satisfaction seemed so insignificant and ridiculous.
As the cultivation method continued to operate, Li Chengfeng's aura suddenly soared like a volcanic eruption. He finally broke through the limit of the Foundation Establishment stage and entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
His mana became even more viscous, and his dantian expanded threefold, with his mana also increasing threefold. The same went for his divine sense.
The vortex inside became even larger, churning as it rotated.
And the nine great blood shadows also improved simultaneously, reaching the level of synchronized advancement.
This was not just a simple improvement in cultivation level, but a qualitative leap in his path of cultivation.
His eyes sparkled with unprecedented light, as if he could see through all things in the world. The subtle connection between his heart and the heavens and earth became even closer.
However, Li Chengfeng did not become complacent because of this. He knew that the stability of his cultivation and the comprehension of his realm were equally important.
Therefore, he chose to stabilize his cultivation at this crucial moment, carefully savoring and comprehending the special Dao rhythm that poured in during the breakthrough.
This Dao rhythm not only benefited him greatly, but also allowed the Frog Saint, the Karma Demon, the Little Vermilion Bird, and the two attendants of the Book of Sins to feel unprecedented improvement and inspiration.
Hua Zixuan gained even greater benefits. Her Nascent Soul did not rush to return to her body but chose to perch in the void, greedily absorbing this rare Dao rhythm.
Her cultivation and realm were also significantly improved and deepened in this process.
Li Chengfeng's actions and words revealed a transcendent and domineering wisdom. With a wave of his hand, sword energy surrounded him, eager to try as if they were living beings, foreshadowing his determination to follow their master in conquering the world.
His smile contained a deep understanding and confidence in the Sword Dao. When he said, "The power of sword energy lies in the sword array," it was not just an explanation of swordsmanship, but a pursuit of power and order in his heart.
The 'Nocturne of Snowy Nights' gave him a deep understanding. This was not only a breakthrough in cultivation but also a sublimation of the heart and realm.
He integrated this understanding into the sword array, creating his own 'Chengfeng's Twelve Movements,' and the first movement, 'Enlightenment,' symbolized the beginning of human civilization, a starting point for hope and the future.
With a sudden wave from Li Chengfeng, a special Dao essence erupted, carrying the hope of mankind and the vitality of all things in the world, as if bringing everything back to the era when chaos first opened and all things sprouted.
This power not only caused the seven swords to erupt with louder sword cries but also immersed the entire space in a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
Li Chengfeng compared the seven swords to the most primitive notes in a musical movement. This metaphor was both vivid and philosophical. Together, they formed the cornerstone of the 'Enlightenment' movement.
When these notes intertwined in the air, a magnificent and majestic sound quality exploded, taking people into an illusion filled with the harmonious unity of power and beauty.
At this time, the addition of thirty colorful illusionary butterflies added a touch of mystery and splendor to this scene.
Their transformation from larvae to second-order demon beasts was not only a display of vitality but also a recognition and response to Li Chengfeng's power.
They danced around Li Chengfeng, integrating their illusion techniques into the sword array, making the sword array even more powerful under the touch of the notes, as if it could travel through time and space and control the power of heaven and earth.
The sword array created by Li Chengfeng not only fused the sharpness of sword energy and the elusiveness of illusion techniques but also contained his profound understanding of life, civilization, and the universe.
Under the guidance of the 'Enlightenment' movement, this sword array became a beautiful landscape between heaven and earth, and also foreshadowed Li Chengfeng's upcoming journey of a new legend.
With a thought from Li Chengfeng, the sword array instantly transformed, changing unpredictably as if opening a new era.
He then roared and ordered: "Chasing Rhythm, Fallen, quickly use the Tracking and Fallen techniques. Whoever enters my sword array will be wounded by the sword's edge and beheaded by the sword energy. Even if they escape, they will not be able to escape its aura. I can cast a spell to track them."
The two looked at each other and smiled, full of joy, and immediately cast their respective spells.
The Fallen Attendant integrated the power of the curse into the sword array, which greedily absorbed it. Chasing Rhythm was not to be outdone, injecting the Tracking technique into it. The power of the two jointly stimulated the sword array.
Suddenly, with a buzzing sound, an altar appeared in the center, for the purpose of sacrifice.
The ultimate power revolved around the altar, and the sword array transformed again. Then, everything returned to calm, and the power quietly returned to Li Chengfeng's dantian, being slowly nourished by the natal flame.
This time, he not only broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment but also refined seven natal flying swords, complementing his own cultivation method and achieving remarkable success.
Just as Li Chengfeng was immersed in joy, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Hua Zixuan's body. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she actually returned to the half-step God Transformation realm.
The aura was violent, and the power of the Origin God faintly appeared above the Nascent Soul, quickly returning to the main body.
He declared with firm eyes and full of confidence: "Azure Cloud Old Ancestor, I have returned to my peak. Even if you are at half-step God Transformation, I swear to cut you down under my sword!"
Li Chengfeng nodded in approval: "Indeed, this time I invited you to help me refine the sword, firstly to stimulate your potential and help you recover your strength; secondly, we both have gains.
Looking at you now, not only has your strength recovered, but your understanding of Dao rhythm has also reached a higher level, and your understanding of Sword Dao has also greatly improved. It is truly gratifying and congratulatory. Are you confident in the next plan?"
Hua Zixuan nodded affirmatively: "Naturally, this experience has benefited me greatly, giving me a new perspective on Sword Dao.
I am 90% sure that the next plan will succeed."
Li Chengfeng nodded happily and said: "It really took a lot of trouble to help you recover your strength this time, and I also took no small risk.
But I chose to stabilize the late stage of Foundation Establishment instead of rushing to break through, in order to better deduce my Unity of All Laws in the future.
Next, Senior needs to calm down and comprehend, and strive to hit the target with one blow at the critical moment."
Hua Zixuan's eyes were like torches, revealing firmness and wisdom: "Don't worry, this time I will never repeat the same mistake and be easily calculated by others.
With your help, the road ahead is naturally much clearer. However, you also need to be careful. I cannot take care of you at all times in a real battle. Your safety is also important.
Your strength may be invincible in the same realm, but you still need to be cautious when facing Core Formation stage experts."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, with some confidence and slyness: "Thank you for your concern, Senior. In fact, my greatest reliance, Li Chengfeng, is not the Sword Dao or the cultivation method, but the ability to escape.
Senior, please rest assured and practice in this Little Azure Mountain. The spiritual energy here is connected to Azure Sea City, which will definitely help you quickly stabilize your realm and restore your mana."
Hua Zixuan nodded in agreement: "Well said, then I will go into seclusion now and wait for your call. As long as you give an order, I will definitely give the enemy a fatal blow."
Li Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction, then winked at the Frog Saint. The Frog Saint understood and the array was activated instantly, placing Hua Zixuan at the core of the Spirit Gathering Array to help her accelerate her recovery.
Afterwards, Li Chengfeng calculated in his heart: "A month has passed, and the altar in the Blackwater Swamp must have been built almost completely. It's time to prepare for the sacrifice."
He turned to the Frog Saint and instructed: "Bring Zhan Wusi here. I want to ask how the plan is progressing."
