67: Chapter 67 Flawless Dao Foundation

However, he did not dwell on it further. Instead, taking advantage of the residual medicinal power of the shengling pill and Zaohua Pill, he continued trying to break through to a higher-quality Dao Foundation, because he could clearly sense that the Dao Foundation within his body still had room to grow.

Chen Changqing suddenly understood; perhaps raising it up another level was the Flawless Dao Foundation mentioned by that cold female voice.

He guided the medicinal power of the two pills to continue moving toward the Peerless Grade Dao Foundation, and many previously unnoticeable flaws within the Dao Foundation slowly began to be mended.

However, as the medicinal power of the two pills was completely consumed, the Peerless Grade Dao Foundation still did not advance any further, seemingly stuck in the middle.

"This Flawless Dao Foundation is actually this difficult? No wonder it's said that even with the Zaohua Pill, there's only a five percent chance to upgrade to the Flawless Dao Foundation."

Chen Changqing was not resigned. Since he found that the road ahead could still be walked, he naturally was not willing to stop halfway and end it there.

While maintaining the operation of the Evergreen Art, he tried to circulate the Cangtian Transforming Dragon Art. The violent blood Qi in his body also surged into the Dao Foundation under his guidance. This was an attempt of his; after all, there was no other energy left in his body.

After the blood Qi merged into the Dao Foundation, the entire Dao Foundation emitted a faint blood-red color. Suddenly, due to the incompatibility between the blood Qi and magical power, a corner of the Dao Foundation abruptly cracked.

Its quality also rapidly dropped from the half-step Flawless Dao Foundation down to the Peerless Grade Dao Foundation, and there was even a trend of continuing to decline.

Chen Changqing was greatly alarmed. The Dao Foundation that he had managed to condense with great difficulty actually downgraded under his blind operation. Now he was in trouble.

Just as he was pacing anxiously in his mind, the dao bead within his body seemed to tremble slightly.

Initially, he thought it was an illusion, but when the dao bead released streams of warm Qi that surged through his entire body and then concentrated toward the Dao Foundation, Chen Changqing abruptly discovered that the previously shattered Dao Foundation was rapidly recovering, then completely stabilized, and even climbed in one go to the level of the Flawless Dao Foundation.

Chen Changqing let out a long sigh of relief. Using his Divine Sense to observe the faintly blood-red Flawless Dao Foundation at his Dantian, joy welled up in his heart. After cultivating for fourteen years, he had finally broken through to Foundation Establishment, and he was even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who forged a Flawless Dao Foundation.

He quietly sensed the magical power within his body, which far exceeded that of peers at the same Foundation Establishment Stage by several folds, and his heart was incomparably excited. Not only that, but he could clearly feel that his Physical Body had also reached the Tier 2 level. In other words, his strength right now definitely possessed two hundred thousand catties.

"Even if I rely solely on magical power and Physical Body now, that Yunnan ancient capital is definitely not my match, not to mention that I still have quite a few methods." Chen Changqing said calmly, then walked toward the tenth floor.

More than twenty days had passed since he entered the Secret Realm, and the closure of the Secret Realm was a matter of these past couple of days, so he had to seize the time as soon as possible to pass the final round of trials.

Just as he walked to the tenth floor, the cold female voice rang out abruptly.

"Inheritor, please choose the Spiritual Root or cultivation trial."

"Cultivation."

"Preparing the cultivation trial for the inheritor immediately."

Not long after, Chen Changqing wore a look of astonishment. A cold young girl appeared before his eyes. Looking closely, the young girl was dressed in a purple ruqun, her dark hair drifted casually, her two little feet were as white as jade, her skin rivaled snow, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Who are you?" Chen Changqing asked in puzzlement.

"This humble one is the artifact spirit of the Taiji Hunyuan Pagoda."

Hearing this, Chen Changqing's eyes widened. Artifact spirit?! Doesn't one need a Tier 4 Magic Treasure or above to have a chance of giving birth to an artifact spirit? Could it be that this place was inside the Magic Treasure she spoke of?

Chen Changqing straightened his mind and said in a respectful tone, "Senior, you said this place is inside the Taiji Hunyuan Pagoda, and you are the artifact spirit here."

The cold young girl did not answer, merely nodding in acknowledgment.

"Come on, extend your hand." The cold young girl silently extended a palm.

With a thought in his mind, Chen Changqing concealed the dao bead within his body, then stepped forward and grabbed it with one hand. Feeling the slender, jade-like hand that was ice-cold to the touch, he didn't have many thoughts.

"Release all of your aura."

Chen Changqing nodded, releasing all of his Foundation Establishment Stage aura.

Sensing Chen Changqing's aura, which was equivalent to the third layer of Foundation Establishment—no, the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment—the cold young girl's eyebrows raised slightly, and her expression was filled with bewilderment.

"Your aura has actually reached this level. Could it be that you successfully forged a Flawless Dao Foundation?" The cold young girl revealed doubt, and then suddenly came to a realization, because only a Flawless Dao Foundation could ensure that magical power was several folds stronger than that of ordinary Cultivators, roughly around four to five times.

This generally referred to Foundation Establishment Cultivators who forged a Low Grade Dao Foundation. If a Cultivator forged a Medium Grade Dao Foundation, the thickness of the magical power within their body would be about twenty to thirty percent higher than a Low Grade Dao Foundation. A High Grade Dao Foundation would be fifty percent higher, a Top Grade Dao Foundation would be close to twice the magical power of a Low Grade Dao Foundation, and a Peerless Grade Dao Foundation would be nearly three times or so.

In addition to this, she also clearly sensed the soaring blood Qi within Chen Changqing's body as well as his Divine Soul strength, which far exceeded those of the same realm.

Is this really a Genius that the Great Yan Country could produce?

"Back in the day, that batch of top geniuses from the four Sects at most forged a Peerless Grade Dao Foundation. That is to say, every few hundred years someone would use the Zaohua Pill during the Foundation Establishment Stage to upgrade a Dao Foundation that was originally only Peerless Grade to a Flawless Dao Foundation, but that was also based on a Peerless Grade Dao Foundation."

Yet this person was able to break through directly to the Flawless Dao Foundation in one go. This talent was truly terrifying.

The cold young girl looked up at Chen Changqing, and the more she looked, the more surreal it felt.

"Senior, is there a problem?" Chen Changqing asked at this moment.

The cold young girl shook her head, brushed her long hair back with one hand, and said softly, "No, but—"

The young girl's words shifted, and she paused. Chen Changqing's heart tightened; could the dao bead within his body have been discovered? Impossible, he shook his head inwardly.

"However, congratulations on passing the tenth-floor trial. The reward for the tenth floor is all the resources of the entire Secret Realm." The young girl said calmly.

"All the resources? Really?"

"Mm, currently you are the only one who has entered the tenth floor, while the rest are at most on the ninth floor. However, this is not without a price. Since you have accepted the Legacy resources left behind by the Wanta Sect today, you must pass down the Legacy for the Wanta Sect in the future, or you can choose one person to inherit this Sect and escort them safely all the way to the Golden Core Stage."

Hearing this, Chen Changqing did not agree immediately, instead falling into deep thought as he pondered the pros and cons of all this.

Logically speaking, accepting this so-called Wanta Sect might be the hope for his Family's rise, but at the same time, it might also face the disaster of annihilation.

After all, wasn't this Wanta Sect also destroyed? Who knew if there would be enemies of the former Wanta Sect within Dayan.

Sensing Chen Changqing's thoughts, the young girl waved her right hand, and a map and a list appeared in front of Chen Changqing.

"If you are willing, everything in this map is yours. If you are unwilling, Fellow Daoist, please leave."

Looking at the map and the list, Chen Changqing felt excited and burning within. Such resources probably even a Purple Mansion—no, even a Golden Core faction—would find them to be nothing more than this!
