Chapter 373: Chapter 205: Successful Foundation Establishment
The Profound Sect Daoist Technique emphasizes Dual Cultivation of Life and Spirit, with Li Yunjing’s Primordial Spirit honed to unparalleled strength, comparable to a Second Heaven expert of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
His body was also tempered to an extreme, with internal organs as strong as iron, and his bones had become "Celestial Tribulation Thunder Bones," cultivating into a special Divine Body.
With the strength to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Li Yunjing decided not to suppress his cultivation level anymore.
Initially, Li Yunjing was preparing to participate in the Inner Sect competition, aiming to secure the first place, receive rich rewards, and soar to the skies.
But now, it seemed the treasure here, a single Treasure Artifact, was enough for Li Yunjing to stake his life on!
The reward for first place in the Inner Sect competition did not include a Treasure Artifact!
To have the strength to compete for the Treasure Artifact, Li Yunjing decided to go all out. After healing his injuries, he immediately entered a state of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
His mind calmed down, and soon, he entered a state of Unity of Heaven and Man.
At this moment, Li Yunjing’s Divine Sense became more acute than ever.
In his Sea of Consciousness, examining with his Divine Sense, Li Yunjing closely observed the subtle changes occurring within him.
Simultaneously, Li Yunjing’s mana began to boil within his body.
His blood flowed faster, with the sound of its surging echoing like a "rumbling" noise through each vein.
Li Yunjing’s blood was flowing, boiling, like thousands of torrents rushing forth.
The surge of blood roared, driving the powerful throbbing of his internal organs.
"Thump! Thump!"
Li Yunjing’s heartbeat echoed like muffled thunder, and the vibration of his organs resonated like dense drumbeats.
At this moment, Li Yunjing felt, within his body, his bloodline, his internal organs, and his entire skeleton, within his brain’s Sea of Consciousness, channels of mana rivers bursting out from his upper and lower Dantian.
They flowed through every part of his body, engulfing Li Yunjing entirely in divine light.
This was a critical transformation for Li Yunjing, an elevation of the human body to a higher level of existence!
This was a process of breaking human shackles, transcending oneself, and stepping into a different life system.
Although the Qi Cultivation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm appeared as two different stages, they were essentially two forms of life.
Aside from habits, language, and appearance being the same, the fundamental aspects were vastly different.
One might say they were two different life forms.
At this moment, Li Yunjing, relying on his formidable Divine Sense, fervently propelled every strand of mana within his body, making them more and more condensed!
When the mana within his entire body peaked at its utmost, Li Yunjing began further refining and compressing his mana.
Previously, Li Yunjing’s mana existed in a gaseous state, not condensed enough, with dispersed streams roaming within his body.
When using spells, Li Yunjing needed to continuously absorb spiritual energy from the surrounding environment to supplement and boost the power of his spells and Divine Techniques.
Notably, while casting "Palm Thunder" or "Five Elements Divine Thunder," there was a clear act of leveraging external forces from Heaven and Earth.
But now, as Li Yunjing advanced toward the Foundation Establishment Realm, his internal mana began to compress and condense from a gaseous state to a liquid state, transforming into True Essence.
Using True Qi to drive spells and Divine Techniques was far more powerful than mana, able to store more energy and much more swiftly mobilize True Essence within the body during spell and Divine Technique usage, unleashing great power.
Advancing from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm was exceedingly difficult.
It required immense willpower and spiritual strength, along with a robust body, to endure the trials during the Foundation Establishment process.
During Foundation Establishment, the cultivator needed to compress and condense the mana within their body— a process requiring precise control and immense mental power. A slight misstep could result in a failed breakthrough and severe physical harm.
But Li Yunjing had reached extremes in both aspects. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around him, under his influence, seemed to coalesce into spiritual energy vortices, continuously entering his body through inhalation, increasing the energy for condensing mana.
Around Li Yunjing, his entire figure in the water seemed to continuously emit Five-Colored Divine Light from within his body.
Intertwined within those Five-Colored Divine Lights were strands of thunder, countless azure thunder serpents coursing over him.
At this moment, to accelerate the process of condensing True Essence, Li Yunjing deployed thirty-six pieces of Middle Grade Spirit Stones, forming a Spirit Gathering Array to draw more spiritual energy to replenish his consumption.
Countless strands of spiritual energy, like light rain, converged towards Li Yunjing faster and faster, merging into his body.
Soon, it compressed and condensed all of Li Yunjing’s mana into True Essence.
Mana became True Essence, and as True Essence circulated within the body, it fed back into the brain.
This higher level of energy replenished his Sea of Consciousness, causing his spiritual power to surge, and his already immense spiritual strength to become even more condensed.
Within his body, waves of vital energy and blood surged like ocean waves.
Strands of True Essence, driven by the vital energy and blood, entered the Sea of Consciousness, continuing to roar and rush, impacting the endless mysterious Sea of Consciousness.
Many fog-shrouded regions of the Sea of Consciousness Universe were dispersed, revealing the mysterious areas within his brain!
Typically, aspects of the Sea of Consciousness Li Yunjing’s mental inspection couldn’t reach were now broken through by his formidable strength, becoming visible.
Li Yunjing’s entire mind was in violent upheaval, as if a universe within was undergoing a second evolution into a new era.
