Chapter 116: Easily Building Foundation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The success of Foundation Establishment was related to many factors, but the most important one was spiritual energy, meridians, and divine sense. Spiritual energy that was sufficiently abundant and perfect could compress more liquid spiritual energy to transform into magic power. The stronger the meridians in the body, the more spiritual energy they could withstand during Foundation Establishment, making the compression process easier.

The final divine sense was the key.

This was because the process of compressing and condensing the spiritual energy in the dantian into a liquid was very dangerous. Without a powerful divine sense to guide and control it, it was very easy for the dantian to explode in its extreme state.

Shen Ping benefited from the immersive dual cultivation. While his physique increased, his meridians also expanded and strengthened. Later on, he took the Spirit Channel Pill, and his meridians strengthened again to withstand more spiritual energy impacts.

Apart from that, his divine sense had long reached the Foundation

Establishment Realm and was not far from the mid-Foundation Establishment Realm.

With the addition of two important factors, his spiritual energy, which had already reached its limit, quickly condensed under the steam of the strange energy. When the other Perfected Qi Refinement cultivators compressed their spiritual energy, they were very careful, afraid that something would happen, so the process was very slow.

However, not only was the process of condensing spiritual energy in Shen Ping’s dantian surprisingly smooth, but it was also shockingly fast.

In ten minutes, all the meridians in his dantian had successfully condensed.

Boom!

Shen Ping’s aura soared. He did not have the time to sigh at this unbelievable situation. The moment the condensation succeeded, his powerful divine sense immediately guided and pushed the liquid spiritual energy along his meridians to circulate.

Only liquid spiritual energy could be converted into Foundation Establishment magic powers in the circulation. His Niwan Palace’s divine sense would also be nurtured and improved greatly. The mortal body of a cultivator would truly transform during this process.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

As the first wisp of magic power was born, he had completely pa.s.sed the most dangerous stage of Foundation Establishment. After circulating his magic power to his dantian, Shen Ping’s body quietly changed. At the same time, the strange beast pattern on his arm flickered with a blood-colored light. The strange energy in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness burst out a second time like a tide.

Buzz-

This time, the strange energy was no longer violent and scorching. Instead, it spread throughout Shen Ping’s limbs and bones in an incomparably gentle manner. The blood, bones, and muscles in his entire body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was unknown how many days had pa.s.sed.

Until all the liquid spiritual energy was completely transformed into magic power, Shen Ping emitted the spiritual pressure unique to Foundation Establishment. He slowly opened his eyes. There was uncontrollable joy and excitement in his eyes.

Foundation Establishment. The important threshold of the longevity path of cultivation. This moment had finally pa.s.sed!

From now on, he would also be addressed as a Foundation Establishment senior by Qi Refinement cultivators.

Phew, he took a long breath. It spun endlessly in the quiet room. It seemed to have said the difficulty of cultivation for thirty bitter years.

Qi Refinement. The past that was difficult to look back on would eventually be flipped over. He had stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm. A brand new future was about to open. He closed his eyes again. He suppressed his chaotic emotions.

Shen Ping began to stabilize his Foundation Establishment cultivation. However, it only took half a day for his eyes to open again. He looked at the perfect pattern of the strange beast in the bronze house. He got up and smiled. Unknowingly, his foundation had actually become incomparably thick and solid.

And all of this was the effect of the strange beast pattern’s blood in front of him. He raised his hand. Golden talismans floated out of his storage bag. After reaching a hundred, the golden light talisman gathered at Shen Ping’s waist quickly rotated from bottom to top. The circular pattern above the back of his head condensed.

The Golden Light Talisman instantly burned. Since 50 of them could not shatter it, then… the Sea of Talisman—Hundred Talismans!

Boom!

The dazzling golden pillar of light that enveloped the entire Bronze House suddenly struck the bronze disc. In an instant, the strange beast pattern emitted ear-piercing sounds. Even the strange beast wanted to break free from the restraints of the bronze disc.

However, in the next moment, the strange beast completely shattered. The blood that seeped out instantly gathered together, forming a drop of strange beast-shaped blood.

Shen Ping had yet to recover from his shock when the drop of blood landed on his arm.

Psst.

The strange beast pattern on his arm bloomed with a bewitching blood color. Waves of majestic strange energy surged. The magic power in his dantian instantly reached a full state.

Click.

He had broken through to the second level of Foundation Establishment so easily.

Shen Ping was stunned. He stood rooted to the ground and stared at his arm.

“Third-grade guest elder, Shen Ping. Congratulations on pa.s.sing the third a.s.sessment.” The bronze house’s indifferent voice sounded.

Shen Ping reacted. He looked up. The door had already opened. He composed himself and walked out. It was still a hall. There were only five jade chairs, but this time, he was not the first.

“Congratulations on building your foundation, Fellow Daoist!” The first three were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but their cultivation levels were at the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. They had not interacted with each other the previous two times. However, now that they had pa.s.sed the third a.s.sessment, it meant that they were all special-cla.s.s guest elders. Naturally, their moods were different.

Shen Ping smiled and cupped his hands, congratulating them on pa.s.sing the a.s.sessment. The atmosphere was harmonious. Not long after, Yu Qingling, who had a sword mark between her brows, walked out. After she sat down, her lively eyes landed on Shen Ping.

“Second level of Foundation Establishment?” Yu Qingling revealed a stunned expression, and then she gritted her teeth and asked with slight unwillingness, “Fellow Daoist, you absorbed that patterned blood to break through to the second level?”

Shen Ping nodded. He noticed that this little girl’s cultivation seemed to be only at the first level of Foundation Establishment and could not help but comfort her. “Every cultivator’s Foundation Establishment state will be different. I was lucky to break through to the second level.”

Yu Qingling didn’t ask further, but she doubted her natural talent in her heart. She did not seem to be the most outstanding person her father had always mentioned.

“Thats great. Father is wrong again.” She was in a surprisingly good mood. She looked at the Talisman Master beside her from the corner of her eye and felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye. “My surname is Yu.”

Shen Ping was stunned. Then, he said, “My surname is Shen.”

“Fellow Daoist Shen, congratulations on pa.s.sing the a.s.sessment.”

“Fellow Daoist Yu, congratulations as well.”

They looked at each other and smiled. It could be considered as getting to know each other.

At this moment, the purple-robed cultivator, Li Yin, appeared. He glanced around and his eyebrows jumped. “The second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Could this talisman master have directly shattered the bronze disc?”

The reason why the third test was not difficult was because he only needed to use the methods of the second test to continuously bombard the strange beast patterns until the patterns and blood seeped through and would collapse. However, there was another way, which was to increase the power of the methods and instantly shatter them.

The results of the two methods were different. The latter could undoubtedly obtain the energy of a complete strange beast’s blood, but very few people in the past could do this.

Li Yin did not expect such a Qi Refinement candidate to appear in the batch he was in charge of. Most importantly, he was a Talisman Master! He retracted his thoughts. He smiled faintly and said, “Congratulations on pa.s.sing the test. Follow me to the Moon Spirit Hall.”

With that, the purple-robed cultivator waved his hand. In the blink of an eye, a pa.s.sageway appeared on the wall of the hall. He took the lead and walked forward. Shen Ping and the other cultivators followed closely behind. The pa.s.sage was very long. They walked for a full hour before they arrived at a grand hall. Eighteen huge pillars carved with various strange beast patterns were distributed on both sides. There were grooves thirty feet away from each pillar, and cultivators sat cross-legged in them.

The 18 cultivators closed their eyes as if they were not breathing at all. There was a very ordinary chair directly above the hall. At this moment, the seat was empty. There were dozens of cultivators standing under the chair, including Fellow Daoist Yu’s parents. After they saw Yu Qingling, their expressions revealed relaxation.

The purple-robed cultivator, Li Yin, brought Shen Ping and the others to a spot 100 feet in front of the chair and stopped. “Greetings, Moon Spirit Envoy. There are five people who have pa.s.sed the a.s.sessment this time. They are all here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the 18 huge pillars in the hall suddenly emitted traces of golden light. As the golden light gathered on the ordinary chair, a figure was already sitting there. However, no one could see the appearance of the figure clearly.

“Li Yin. You did well.” A gentle voice sounded. Whether it was Yu Qingling’s father or Shen Ping and the others, they instantly felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

The gaze of the figure in the chair seemed to have landed on Shen Ping and the other cultivators.

“The special-cla.s.s guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion is just a t.i.tle. You’re quite talented to be able to pa.s.s the test. I’ll ask you now, are you willing to join my True Treasure Pavilion as the core?” His voice reverberated in the hall.

“I’m willing!” The three late Foundation Establishment cultivators replied without hesitation.

Yu Qingling said, “I’m willing.”

Many gazes gathered over. Shen Ping hurriedly added. However, he was thinking that he did not know what treatment and responsibilities this core had.

Swoosh.

The figure on the chair waved his sleeve. Five soft b.a.l.l.s of light floated in front of Shen Ping and the others. “This is the core jade token. It represents your status in the True Treasure Pavilion. Other than that, there are other uses. You’ll find out later.” The figure of the chair slowly faded, and at the same time, the last voice echoed in the hall. “Becoming the core of the True Treasure Pavilion is only the beginning. Don’t be proud, don’t be complacent. This world is huge. I hope you can go further on the path of cultivation.”

The seat was empty again.

Li Yin and the dozens of cultivators below the chair shouted respectfully, “Farewell, Moon Spirit Envoy!”

A moment later, Shen Ping and the others followed Li Yin to a room on the west side of the hall. The invisible pressure disappeared. Li Yin said casually, “Alright, no need to stand on ceremony. Sit down. If you have any doubts, you can ask now.”

He picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip.

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly asked, “Senior Li, I wonder what’s the difference between the core of this True Treasure Pavilion and a special-cla.s.s guest elder?”

Li Yin smiled and said, “The special-cla.s.s guest elder is the name of the various stations under the True Treasure Pavilion. However, in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, the so-called special-cla.s.s guest elder is actually the core level of the True Treasure Pavilion. If you pa.s.s the a.s.sessment, it means that you have become the core.”

Shen Ping and the other three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at each other.

They… became the core?!
