308: Foundation Building Complete

Star Space.

Liu Xuan held his breath and focused, lighting a stick of sandalwood incense. He sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, then clicked on the Legacy light mass of the Supreme Good Myriad Transformation Scripture within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Boom~"

The light mass shattered, transforming into wisps that merged into Liu Xuan's Divine Soul. Countless insights into the Cultivation Technique surged forth.

Water! The source of life, the essence of the void, the pivot of the turning wheel, the ultimate of transformation; it could comprehend the Dao of the creation and destruction of heaven and earth...

Liu Xuan felt as if he were placed in an ancient ocean, with heavy rain pouring down from the sky, shrouding the entire world in a curtain of water.

His consciousness was chaotic. Various profound insights, some clear and some blurry, flooded into his mind, impacting his consciousness and Divine Soul.

As a fifth-grade Cultivation Technique, the most Liu Xuan could comprehend right now was the Early Stage of the third tier. The subsequent content could only settle deep within his Divine Soul, to be understood little by little as his cultivation increased in the future.

While his consciousness was in Chaos, the dao foundation in Liu Xuan's Dantian lit up with a black light. Myriad Transformation mana was born, flowing through his entire body following the route of the Cultivation Technique.

A blurry seal script slowly emerged on the dao foundation, and an aura that contained all things grew stronger.

The moment the seal script condensed and finished, it was as if a switch had been triggered; the dao foundation bloomed with brilliant light.

Green, red, yellow, white, and black—five colors lit up simultaneously, blending and circulating among each other. The Five Elements generated each other, becoming a Perfection in themselves, endless and ceaseless.

"Hum!!"

The rich Spiritual Qi within the Star Space suddenly rioted, gathering toward Liu Xuan.

As the Spiritual Qi entered his body, it was instantly assimilated by the Five Elements mana and merged into the dao foundation.

The Qingluan, Green Flood Dragon, and Big Black Ox—three fourth-grade Bloodline Yao Beasts—all looked toward the direction of Liu Xuan's Cultivation Chamber. They felt a terrifying aura being born; the essence of that aura was so powerful that it made their Bloodlines tremble.

One hour later.

The Spiritual Qi riot gradually calmed down, and Liu Xuan's consciousness slowly recovered to clarity.

"Peak Foundation Establishment!"

The fifth-grade water-type Cultivation Technique, combined with the Perfection of the Five Elements, had directly pushed Liu Xuan's Qi Refining cultivation to the level of Peak Foundation Establishment!

For the first time, his Qi Refining cultivation surpassed his Body Refining cultivation. Liu Xuan even faintly felt a glimmer of an opportunity for Core Formation!

He sank his Divine Sense into his Dantian dao foundation and discovered that the entire dao foundation was flickering with five-colored light. It was radiant and colorful, exuding a sense of flawlessness and Perfection.

"What grade of dao foundation is this?"

"First Grade? No! It must have already surpassed First Grade; it belongs to the Super Grade level."

"Five Elements dao foundation! I wonder if the Foundations of those Saintesses and Saints from the Spirit Transformation Immortal Sect are as powerful as mine? Probably not!"

With a thought, the five original Innate spell seal scripts on the dao foundation gradually merged together, forming a more complex seal script, which finally condensed into a Divine Ability.

Five-Elements Creation-Destruction Divine Light: A top-tier trapping and killing Divine Ability, possessing the power of Five Elements strangulation, capable of destroying all things!

"It's a bit lacking! If I could master the Innate Five Elements Divine Light, which can instantly wipe away the spirituality of all things, that would be awesome!"

This was him being too greedy; that kind of invincible Divine Ability was not something he could grasp at his current Realm.

The fact that he could refine a natal Divine Ability in advance with his Foundation Establishment cultivation was already something other Cultivators wouldn't even dare to imagine.

"Peak Foundation Establishment, mastering the Five-Elements Creation-Destruction Divine Light Divine Ability, plus the Sword Intent I have comprehended, I wonder if I can face an Early Golden Core Stage Immortal Master head-on?"

It should be roughly there; he should at least be able to fight an ordinary Early Golden Core Stage Immortal Master to a draw. It should be slightly worse than the Peak-period Xiao Changfeng.

"There's no need to quibble over this gap. The point is that I am about to form a core!!"

The Bottleneck for Core Formation could not be said to not exist for Liu Xuan, but it was only a tiny bit. If things went smoothly, he would be able to start breaking through in these few years.

"Core Formation will trigger the power of heaven and earth. And I am forming a core with a Super Grade Five Elements dao foundation, so the commotion will be even greater. Everyone in the entire Sect and Feiyu City will see it. Wouldn't that expose me then?!"

With a Five Elements dao foundation achieving a Golden Core, Liu Xuan would likely have the combat strength of a Late Golden Core Great True Person as soon as he broke through.

However, he was too young. Forming a core at less than fifty years old—if the news leaked and spread, it would be too easy to attract the attention of the big shots.

"Let's look at the Blood Drop Rebirth Divine Ability first!"

Liu Xuan calmed his mind and clicked his intent on a blood-colored light mass in his Sea of Consciousness.

The light mass instantly merged into his body, and profound insights surged into his mind once again.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

The blood core in his chest drummed. A drop of Essence Blood split off, and a feeling of connection in Bloodline and Divine Soul emerged in Liu Xuan's mind.

"Is this the Essence Blood that can resurrect and be reborn?"

Liu Xuan held a thumb-sized piece of semi-solid Essence Blood in his hand. He had a feeling that as long as he wanted, his soul and blood energy could all merge into this Essence Blood, condensing into a new body.

"A top-tier Divine Ability, truly marvelous. If cost is no object, it's equivalent to having countless more lives!"

"However, my Foundation lies in my Family and my children. With this Divine Ability, I can only say I have fewer worries, but I still cannot be too reckless!"

Liu Xuan waved his hand, and this Essence Blood flew into the sky of the Star Space, placed in the core of the entire Star Array, protected by layers of Formation power.

"The Blood Drop Rebirth Divine Ability can also be advanced. It can eventually be cultivated to the Realm of having thousands of Incarnations. By then, I truly won't be able to die!"

Having thousands of Incarnations is not about having Clones, but about having countless identical physical bodies placed in different locations at the same time. They have no consciousness, but they can be controlled by Liu Xuan at any time and exert different levels of strength.

Incarnations can not only be used as bodies for resurrection, but can also be used for risk-free long-distance exploration. The utility is maxed out!

He spent an entire day comprehending in the Star Space, and Liu Xuan only went out when it was time to Cultivate at night.

...

West Courtyard.

Yun Xian had been attracted to the Formation Hall by the Formation knowledge Liu Xuan had thrown out, so she didn't come to bother him. Everything else at home was normal.

Tonight, those serving in the bedroom were his white moonlight Yan Qingyao, and his former classmate, Chang Dan.

Seeing Liu Xuan enter, the two women, dressed in thin pajamas and chatting, walked over to serve him from left and right.

"Husband, Fellow Daoist Zhao Li is dead!"

Yan Qingyao's face carried a trace of memory and a trace of sadness. Hearing the news of a familiar classmate's death was more touching than seeing those strangers die with her own eyes.

Liu Xuan was silent for a moment and asked, "Was he killed by the Yao Race on the border battlefield?"

Of the five classmates from the Dao Academy back then, not to mention Yan Qingyao and Chang Dan, Liu Xuan had looked after Zhao Li, Ye Xun, and Wang Xiaokang.

Ye Xun liked spirit plants and was now a First Grade Medium Grade spirit plant master in the Spirit Plant Hall. He had contracted a large area of spiritual land. Although he couldn't be considered wealthy, he did not lack basic cultivation resources.

Wang Xiaokang had always worked in the Merchant Alliance. With the help of the Wang Family, he lived a comfortable life with considerable power.

Zhao Li was also a member of the Merchant Alliance guard team and was a captain. His cultivation was at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, and he was doing better than Wang Xiaokang, who had Family support.

However, he was very ambitious. For more resources, he often wandered in the most dangerous places. This time, he probably planted himself there!

Chang Dan sighed and nodded slightly, "The news came back from the Merchant Alliance this morning. It is said that they encountered a burrowing Yao Beast. The entire Merchant Alliance guard team suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, the Yao Beast even escaped."

"Husband~"

Chang Dan hugged Liu Xuan tightly, pressed her face against Liu Xuan's chest, and whispered,

"If it weren't for you, I would probably be fighting for my life on the border battlefield right now. Maybe I would already be dead too!"
