Chapter 133: Building Foundations
The great competition between Mo Xiu and others lasted for a month, during which there were ups and downs, but none of this had anything to do with Wang Chen!
After returning to Shen Jian Peak, Wang Chen never went out again!
Zhū jī, wáng chéng ne de mù biāo hěn míng què, jiù shì jìn jiē zhū jī, bù guān wáng chén de qián lì duō me non-fán, bù dào zhù jī qī, yī suí shì liàn zhēn zhèng de xiū xiān mén kǎn dōu méi yǒu dá dào!
Translation:
The foundation is the goal of Wang City, and it's very clear that it's to advance to the foundation stage. It doesn't matter how extraordinary Wang Chen's potential is; if he hasn't reached the foundation stage, he still hasn't reached the true threshold of a cultivator.
Cultivating immortality is for one ultimate goal: eternal life!
In the advanced foundation-building period, a cultivator's lifespan can be greatly increased. The average lifespan of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator is around 250-260 years! If one practices a special cultivation method, such as a wood-attribute nourishing life technique, living for over 300 years is not a problem at all!
Only when he reached the foundation period, Wang Chen's strength could increase greatly again!
Even Wang Chen wants to create a Zhonglian body-refining method, but it's fundamentally impossible to deduce, at most it's just an intermediate ordinary Gongfa. Cultivating this Gongfa is undoubtedly impossible for Wang Chen!
So, building the foundation can't wait!
Only after advancing to the foundation-building stage and dividing one's spirit into nine parts can the Nine Intentions be expressed. The ability of supreme derivation, with its nine hearts and nine uses, can only be partially embodied after building the foundation!
Nowadays, the nine intentions and nine uses are fundamentally separated from consciousness, no longer chaotic, but unable to simultaneously comprehend two types of gongfa.
Not to mention the ability of excessive speculation!
After the closed-door period, Wang Chen first activated all the formations, including the Four Images Cloud Formation and another advanced formation that he had borrowed from Taishang Laozu. At the same time, Taishang Laozu also brought over many spiritual materials from the sect. Although it was unclear what Wang Chen's intentions were, his support for him was unwavering!
Two months later, Wang Chen's spiritual materials throughout his body had been completely consumed, and he had even adjusted his entire body to its peak, waiting only for the foundation to be established!
Within the Boundary Pearl, there is even a vast expanse of spiritual energy permeating it. The spiritual energy left behind after being absorbed by the Boundary Pearl is extremely pure, to the point where it doesn't need any refinement before it can be replenished into one's own Dantian!
However, Wang Chen wanted to build his foundation, of course he wouldn't not refine and transform it, instead he absorbed a bit into his dantian and slowly refined and transformed it!
This refinement is for seven days and seven nights. At this moment, inside Wang Chen's dantian, nine crystal clear air swirls are constantly rotating!
Each cyclone is larger than the ordinary qigong practitioner's cyclone, and each cyclone emits pure spiritual energy. The spiritual energy enters from the top of the funnel-shaped cyclone and then comes out from the smaller lower part!
Each time it is performed, the spiritual energy becomes even purer!
These spiritual energies can further transform into a liquid state and form a liquid vortex!
But this step is not so easy to achieve!
The gaseous vital energy will not transform into liquid for no reason. If the meridians cannot withstand the pressure, or if the dantian is weak, it may not just be a matter of failing to advance at that time!
Moreover, many gaseous spiritual energies are not pure enough and lack the conditions to transform into liquid spiritual energy!
Seven days and seven nights of hard work, Wang Chen was just trying to reach the critical point where his spiritual energy could liquefy!
At the same time as reaching this moment, Wang Chen's dantian and body were under tremendous pressure! However, this was just the beginning. Next, Wang Chen's nine vortexes emitted an astonishing suction force, which began to slowly absorb the spiritual energy around Wang Chen!
The suction is getting stronger and stronger. The distance affected is also getting farther and farther!
Ten meters, thirty meters, one hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters...!
An ordinary cultivator's aura would be about a hundred meters in diameter, and some talented ones might have an aura of two or three hundred meters. But Wang Chen's aura was over five thousand meters, ten li!
What concept is this, a huge vortex has formed in the air above Shenjian Peak, and this vortex constantly draws spiritual energy from all directions of Luoyun Sect, then pours it all into Wang Chen's body!
The entire Luo Yun Sect was shaken, from disciples to elders!
"My goodness! What's going on... Some kind of omen, could it be that someone is about to advance to the Golden Elixir stage?"
"It's too terrifying, how much spiritual energy will this cyclone absorb? I'm afraid the Golden Core stage will be blown up in an instant!"
An elder of the Golden Elixir stage was even more shocked and pale as he said:
"This isn't the Golden Elixir Ascension, ascending to the Golden Elixir requires passing through 19 calamities. Although this momentum is even more grand than a normal ascension to the Golden Elixir, it's clearly not an ascension to the Golden Elixir!"
Others also nodded!
But after seeing the source of this phenomenon, they all had green and red faces!
A year ago, Wang Chen failed to build a foundation, and many people still remember it? Now many astonishing people didn't ridicule him at that time!
The outsider's mentality, Wang Chen didn't notice. At this moment, Wang Chen's attention was all focused on advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage!
The surging spiritual energy is coming in waves, and if left unchecked, it will definitely cause enormous destructive power!
Firstly, let the spiritual energy enter from the surface of the body. This step is called "spiritual energy tempering the body", it's relatively painful, but it's absolutely necessary!
Lingqi tempering the body, can make lingqi adhere to its own gas, and is also a kind of tempering for the body!
For a Qigong master to live longer than ordinary people, a major reason is that the Qi has penetrated into the body and eliminated the impurities!
It's as if he has shed his mortal body and is now distinct from ordinary people. Of course, he still has 108,000 miles to go before reaching the realm of the immortals!
For ordinary cultivators, the pain of spiritual energy tempering is already considerable. While enduring the pain, they also need to regulate their own spiritual power. If their own spiritual energy is disordered, it will be troublesome when so much spiritual energy runs wild!
A huge spiritual vortex, spanning the sky above Shenjian Peak, lasted for more than half a month. The amount of spiritual energy absorbed by Wang Chen from it was far greater than the total spiritual energy in an ordinary Jindan cultivator's body!
Because of this, a large part was swallowed by the boundary bead, and Wang Chen only got a small part, roughly equivalent to the level of an ordinary golden elixir cultivator. However, fortunately, after being swallowed by the boundary bead, the spiritual energy became much purer, making it easier for Wang Chen to refine and also helped him in advancing to the foundation building stage!
The nine cyclones that had been absorbed for a long time finally reached their extreme point, and even the cyclone itself was already shaking!
Any cyclone that appears in the body of another monk is considered a once-in-a-century genius, and will shine brightly within the sect, becoming an elite among the monks, with hopes for building foundations and golden elixirs!
It's precisely because of this that the pressure from the nine cyclones on Wang Chen is not ordinary, if it were just one cyclone, Wang Chen would have succeeded in building his foundation long ago, why wait until now!
The rotational speed of the nine cyclones has greatly decreased, and it seems to have reached a limit!
If it can be taken a step further, the gas will be liquefied and enter the foundation-building period. If not successful, it is likely that part of the gas vortex will break and cause serious injury, and the cultivation will also decrease somewhat!
This is the price of forcibly breaking through the foundation period. Of course, if you take Dan medicine at this time, it will have a huge effect and the difficulty of liquefying Qi will be greatly reduced!
However, after taking Ji Ke Dan, the actual strength is slightly weaker than without taking it, although the difference is not big, but the effect of accumulation over time is also very obvious.
Without Zhu Ji Dan's help, Wang Chen is worthy of relying on himself!
To put it accurately, it's about one's will and boundary! The will ensures that one won't be defeated by adversity, while the boundary can facilitate the condensation of vital energy! Only then can one progress to the foundation-building stage!
In the lower abdomen!
Wang Chen's will was omnipresent, resisting the collapse of spiritual energy and suppressing the spiritual energy that had entered his body!
At the same time, a faint sword shadow appeared! This illusory sword intent was ethereal and elusive, and as soon as it came out, it suppressed the spiritual energy in the dantian!
At the same time, a faint sword shadow appeared on each of the spiritual energies! This sword shadow had a subtle and elusive charm to it!
Transcendence!
This is exactly Wang Chen's sword intent, equivalent to the Yuan Ying period!
This sword shadow appeared in the spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy seemed to be even more condensed, slowly reaching the top of the vortex that had already reached its peak. The spiritual energy between them seemed to have an attractive force, condensing again!
