Chapter 246: Chapter 154: Foundation Establishment of Dao Understanding, Spiritual Power Liquidation_2
In this way, such a genius cultivator might obtain an innate divine technique.
It’s important to know that the reason why tier-equivalent demon beasts are more powerful than human cultivators is not only because of their inherently strong physiques, but more importantly because they possess bloodline divine techniques.
This is the divine power they are born with, allowing them to effortlessly manipulate the forces of nature.
So, when ordinary human cultivators face the bloodline divine techniques of demon beasts, they are utterly powerless.
The opposing party holds an absolute advantage.
If human cultivators could also wield divine powers, they would at least be at par with, if not surpass, the combat strength of demon beasts.
And the Foundation Establishment of Dao Understanding is the chance for human genius cultivators to grasp their innate divine techniques.
Unfortunately, there are very few human cultivators who can achieve this.
In today’s context, it’s more of a legend.
After all, many human cultivators opt for taking the Foundation Establishment Pill for a stable path to Foundation Establishment, rather than risking the Foundation Establishment of Dao Understanding.
For ordinary cultivators, rather than pursuing the elusive Foundation Establishment of Dao Understanding, it’s more prudent to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator securely.
Thus, over time, the Foundation Establishment of Dao Understanding has become increasingly rare.
Jiang Fan only came to understand its intricacies after he inherited the Primordial Talisman Sect’s teachings.
He feels that if he wants to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he must become the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Otherwise, his solid foundation would be wasted.
At this moment, Jiang Fan had just finished cultivating when Su Weiwei walked in.
"Husband, the outside seems increasingly chaotic."
Su Weiwei spoke to Jiang Fan.
During these three days, she had sent out a large number of Six-winged Poison Bees as scouts to gather intelligence on the Lingxi Secret Realm.
So she has become aware of recent events concerning the Lingxi Secret Realm.
"Oh, what’s going on?"
Jiang Fan asked curiously.
"It’s said that the cultivators entering the Lingxi Secret Realm have multiplied several times compared to before."
"Not only are numerous loose cultivators entering, but even some sect cultivators have come in."
"Including disciples from Golden Core sects like the Great Sun Sword Sect, the Five Elements Pill Sect, the Snow Sect, White Feather Sect, and so on."
"They’ve entered the Lingxi Secret Realm to vie for the Foundation Establishment opportunities."
Su Weiwei explained.
"Really? Those Golden Core sect disciples have come too?"
"Wasn’t it said before that the Lingxi Secret Realm was controlled by Yunlai City, barring other Golden Core influences from entering?"
Jiang Fan was a bit surprised, completely unexpecting the Lingxi Secret Realm had undergone such a transformation.
Previously, if only loose cultivators entered the Lingxi Secret Realm, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
But with those Golden Core sect disciples entering, it’s entirely different.
After all, the strength, techniques, and magical artifacts of sect disciples are much stronger than those of loose cultivators.
Moreover, they are numerous and organized in groups, making them even more challenging to face.
"Normally, that is indeed the case."
"However, Yunlai City seems to have forsaken this time’s benefits from the Lingxi Secret Realm, choosing to retreat and shield inside Yunlai City."
"Consequently, those sect cultivators saw an opportunity and rushed over to try and seize a portion of the benefits."
Su Weiwei said solemnly.
For sect cultivators, Foundation Establishment opportunities are equally rare.
They undoubtedly would not miss this chance.
"I see, it should be the threat from Golden Core Zhenren Daoist Fei Lian."
"For Yunlai City, the safety of Immortal City is fundamental, and everything else is insignificant."
"If those Foundation Establishment cultivators left Yunlai City, Daoist Fei Lian would likely seize the opportunity."
"They might even be struck down individually by Daoist Fei Lian."
"Thus, they’d rather forsake the gains from Lingxi Secret Realm than risk Yunlai City’s safety."
"Seems like Daoist Yunlai’s trouble has already invoked a series of issues."
Jiang Fan nodded, understanding the thoughts of those Foundation Establishment cultivators in Yunlai City.
He was quite moved, thinking the Fortune-Telling Talisman seemed increasingly mysterious.
No wonder it suggested staying out of the Lingxi Secret Realm matters and instead choose seclusion for cultivation here.
If he rashly went for the Golden Jade Ganoderma or Spiritual Liquid, it would inevitably bring huge troubles.
He might even face attacks from numerous sect cultivators.
Overall, comparing the current Lingxi Secret Realm to before, it’s now tens of times more treacherous.
It’s practically a giant meat grinder.
"The danger doesn’t only come from those sect cultivators."
"The inherent dangers of the Lingxi Secret Realm should not be underestimated either."
"This place seems to be fostering Tier Two Demon Beasts."
"They guard the locations where Spirit Medicine grows throughout the Lingxi Secret Realm."
"If cultivators attempt to seize these Spirit Medicines, they will surely conflict with the Tier Two Demon Beasts."
"Over the past three days, quite a few loose cultivators have already perished at the hands of Tier Two Demon Beasts."
"Grabbing Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine is far from easy."
Through the power of the Six-winged Poison Bees, Su Weiwei observed the happenings at those areas remotely.
The aura emanating from those Tier Two Demon Beasts was enough to send shivers down her spine.
They are entirely beyond what Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators can cope with.
She wonders how the loose cultivators of former Yunlai City could manage to snatch these Spirit Medicines from under the noses of these beasts.
Yet, even if they succeed, they are surely paying a hefty price.
"Looks like staying here is indeed safe."
Jiang Fan nodded.
He considers this Nameless Valley to have become his refuge.
"Husband, I sense your aura seems complete."
"Are you planning to establish your foundation?"
Su Weiwei asked out of curiosity.
"Yes, after a little consolidation, I’ll start the Foundation Establishment."
"So, I might need to trouble you for a while during these days."
Jiang Fan said.
"But would it be dangerous without the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Su Weiwei asked worriedly.
She knows well that Foundation Establishment is extremely perilous; without success, one faces death and Dao disintegration.
If they consume the Foundation Establishment Pill, even if Foundation Establishment fails, it preserves their life.
Moreover, it offers a second chance at Foundation Establishment, effectively a lifesaving elixir.
Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Pill is highly precious, coveted by countless cultivators.
"Don’t worry, I am one hundred percent sure about this Foundation Establishment."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly.
"Alright."
"I’ll keep watch outside and ensure no one disturbs you."
Su Weiwei nodded.
She thinks her husband is a very cautious person, unlikely to pursue Foundation Establishment without complete assurance—having made this decision, there’s no need for her to worry.
Now her sole task is to prevent any disturbance during her husband’s Foundation Establishment.
"Rest assured, no one should be bothering me during this time."
Jiang Fan senses his current destiny is flourishing, with no calamities, greatly minimizing the chance of unforeseen factors.
Moreover, this valley is indeed a secluded place.
It’s likely other cultivators won’t discover this location anytime soon.
......
Another day passed.
Jiang Fan had thoroughly acquainted himself with his Qi Cultivation Perfection.
Additionally, elevating his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to their peak.
This signifies he’s fully prepared.
After informing Su Weiwei, he entered the cavern, embarking on deep seclusion.
Rumble~~
At this moment, Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, operating the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture.
The Primordial Talisman in the depths of his Elixir Field and Sea of Qi started to rotate.
The vast Spiritual Qi from the surrounding Tier Two Spirit Vein was attracted by the Primordial Talisman, flowing into his body, swiftly pouring into the Elixir Field and Sea of Qi.
Originally, the Primordial Spiritual Power in the depths of his Elixir Field had reached Perfection, essentially impossible to increase further.
But now, the quantity has led to a qualitative change.
The misty state of Spiritual Power transformed into a vortex, continuously rotating, seemingly increasing in density.
At last, strands of misty Spiritual Power merged, coalescing into a drop of liquid Primordial Spiritual Power.
Spiritual Power liquefied!
Undoubtedly, this is the first step for Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators to ascend to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Just this first step has obstructed countless loose cultivators.
It’s like an insurmountable barrier halting numerous loose cultivators from advancing to Foundation Establishment.
But for Jiang Fan, this step is exceedingly simple, akin to eating and drinking.
Once the Spiritual Power within reaches a certain level, Spiritual Power naturally liquefies.
