47: Chapter 47 Chi Wanhe Breaks Through to Foundation Establishment

On the sparring grounds between Tianyuan Peak and Wendao Peak, two graceful figures were locked in fierce combat, Spiritual Qi surging, drawing many Disciples to watch from afar.

"Look! Elder Fuqu's Talisman techniques are absolutely marvelous! She uses Five Elements Spells with such ease, and can even combine and transform them!"

"Indeed, that fire-rain formed by the Fusion of wind and fire looks incredibly powerful! If only I could learn a thing or two..."

"But Elder Liuli is also so strong! Look at her, she shattered the Spell with just her fists! My god, that was an Ice Spike Storm!"

"This is truly breaking all Spells with force! Peerless defense!"

"Both Elders are amazing. Who do you think will win this spar?"

Chi Wanhe moved with grace, her jade fingers dancing like butterflies.

As the possessor of the Earth-grade Void Spirit Root, her affinity for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had reached an unfathomable level, allowing her to simulate all basic Spiritual Qi.

At this moment, she was surrounded by pale cyan Fengling Qi, while her fingertips continuously condensed Talismans flashing with various colors!

Fireball Talismans, Ice Spike Talismans, Earth Shield Talismans, Gold Needle Talismans... Under the guidance of her Talismans, Five Elements Spells combined and transformed at will!

Sometimes, fire borrowed the wind's momentum, turning into a prairie fire-rain; other times, it fused with the power of ice and wind, condensing into a sky-filling Ice Spike Storm!

As the Talisman light flowed, the offensive was continuous, gorgeous, and lethal.

Du Yuqing presented an entirely different scene. Following the path of Body Refining, her figure appeared delicate but contained explosive power.

Her Qi and blood flowed like mercury, and her skin exuded a faint jade luster under the sunlight, a manifestation of her powerful defense.

Facing the sky-filling Talisman Spells, she neither dodged nor evaded. With a sharp cry, she clenched her fists and threw a punch!

Hum!

The pure Physical Body power compressed the air, producing a dull sonic boom!

A condensed, substantial fist aura surged out, shattering the incoming fire-rain and ice spikes like bamboo!

Her footsteps were steady, her figure fast as lightning. She braved Chi Wanhe's bombardment, constantly closing the distance, attempting to secure victory through close-quarters combat.

Breaking all Spells with one force! No matter how many Spells you have, I will break them with a single punch!

The Talisman combinations were infinitely variable, while the violent fist aura was peerlessly fierce. The two traded blows, the battle deadlocked.

For a time, neither could do anything to the other.

The sound of Spiritual Qi explosions on the sparring grounds was ceaseless.

"Look! Elder Fuqu is exerting more power! The offensive is so fierce!"

"Elder Liuli is also getting tougher! She's charging even closer!"

"Heavens, both Elders are getting serious."

The watching Disciples grew even more excited, holding their breath.

Just then, Chi Wanhe caught a glimpse of her Revered Master, Ling Hao, standing not far away, watching the battle alongside Junior Sister Qin Zhaoxue.

Her heart skipped a beat!

An obsession to not lose in front of her Revered Master surged up instantly, even outweighing concerns for her own safety.

She bit her lip, and her internal mana surged out recklessly, the light of the Talismans at her fingertips becoming blinding.

A Wind-Thunder Great Talisman far exceeding her current capacity was frantically condensing!

The edges of the Talisman even leaked dangerous, fine electric arcs due to the loss of control over her mana, and her face turned slightly pale!

Du Yuqing naturally also saw Ling Hao.

A trace of determination flashed in her eyes. Facing Chi Wanhe's obviously out-of-control, terrifying Talisman, she did not dodge or evade!

The jade luster around her body blazed, pushing her defense to the limit. At the same time, ignoring the faint throbbing in her Meridians, she poured all her Qi and blood power into her right fist without reservation, even causing wisps of blood-colored energy to rise from it!

She wanted to withstand this strongest strike and prove herself in front of her Revered Master.

Both of them were completely carried away by the desire not to show weakness in front of Ling Hao, disregarding the consequences, with eyes only for victory or defeat.

The violent Spiritual Pressure on the sparring grounds instantly soared to a dangerous level, and the watching Disciples exclaimed, retreating once more!

Just as the Wind-Thunder Great Talisman, containing destructive power, was about to collide with Du Yuqing's fist aura, which was like a kamikaze strike...

Hum!

An invisible barrier instantly appeared between the two.

The Wind-Thunder Great Talisman, condensed to the limit at Chi Wanhe's fingertips, dissipated silently as if it had struck an eternal rock.

Du Yuqing's Peak punch, which had gathered all her Qi and blood, also felt like it had been struck into a bottomless quagmire, its power instantly dissipated.

Ling Hao's figure appeared in the arena, no one knew when. He frowned slightly, his voice carrying a touch of helplessness and concern as he flicked both their foreheads:

"You two girls, why are you getting so carried away? Have you forgotten about your own safety?"

That gentle yet irresistible power instantly smoothed out the violent Spiritual Qi in the arena, also causing the paranoid Chi Wanhe and Du Yuqing to suddenly wake up!

The light on both their bodies instantly receded. Chi Wanhe, whose Spell had been forcibly interrupted, groaned, her internal mana surging in turmoil.

Du Yuqing also felt her Qi and blood fluctuate, and the blood-colored energy gathered on her fist quietly dissipated.

Chi Wanhe touched her forehead, her fair cheeks turning bright red in a "whoosh," like a ripe apple.

Recalling her thoughts just now, she lowered her head, staring at her toes, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes, feeling her face burning hot, even her earlobes were on fire.

Du Yuqing turned her head away, no longer looking at Ling Hao.

Ling Hao looked at their appearance and roughly guessed it; they probably saw he was there and wanted to perform better in front of him.

Ling Hao shook his head, such inexplicable competitiveness.

"Alright, you two come with me... hmm?"

Ling Hao's gaze fell on Chi Wanhe.

Chi Wanhe felt a mysterious epiphany flood into her spiritual platform without warning, a sudden flash of inspiration!

She sat cross-legged on the sparring grounds, right there in front of everyone.

Du Yuqing, Qin Zhaoxue, and the crowd of Disciples were stunned, all looking at Ling Hao.

The smile in Ling Hao's eyes grew deeper, and he said gently:

"No need to disturb her. Your Senior Sister... is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Upon hearing this, a flash of envy quickly crossed Du Yuqing's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by an even firmer light.

Senior Sister has already taken this step; I must also break through to the Jade Bone Realm (Foundation Establishment) faster.

At this moment, Chi Wanhe's eyes were tightly closed, her whole person immersed in a mysterious state.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi above the sparring grounds seemed to be invisibly summoned, frantically pouring into her body, forming a visible Spiritual Qi vortex around her.

Inside her body, it was an earth-shattering transformation.

The originally full gaseous Spiritual Qi was forcibly compressed and condensed by an invisible, great power.

One drop, two drops... Crystal-clear spiritual liquid was born in her Dantian Qi Sea.

The spiritual liquid gathered into trickling streams, the streams gathered into babbling brooks, and the brooks surged into a spiritual spring.

The spiritual spring turned into a spiritual lake, and the lake constantly expanded and deepened... finally transforming into a boundless, surging, ten-thousand-zhang Spiritual Sea!

And the expansion of this Spiritual Sea did not stop; fifty thousand zhang, one hundred thousand zhang...

It was so vast, it seemed to have no end!

In the center of this vast Spiritual Sea, a golden Dao platform, brilliant with golden light and flowing with Dao rhymes, slowly rose like a divine mountain, suppressing the sea eye and stabilizing the universe.

The Foundation Establishment Stage is the first true watershed on the path of cultivation.

Ordinary Cultivators with Yellow-grade Spiritual Roots spend decades of time, and it is fortunate if they can condense a spiritual spring.

Even the Prodigy Disciples of the three great fourth-rank Sects need twelve years of hard work to break through to Foundation Establishment, with a Spiritual Sea of no more than five thousand zhang.

The most talented person in the Qing State in five hundred years—Dong Tianjiao of the Tianhuo Sect with an Earth-grade Spiritual Root—also needed ten years to reach Foundation Establishment, with a Spiritual Sea of eight thousand zhang.

And Chi Wanhe, from guiding Qi into her body to breaking through to Foundation Establishment today, had only used a mere half a year!

The speed was so fast that it left geniuses like Dong Tianjiao far behind.

Not to mention that she Cultivated the immortal-rank divine technique, 《Tai Xu Dao Yan Jing》.

The foundation cast by this method was so vigorous, and the Spiritual Sea so vast, that it far exceeded the limits of human imagination.

At sunset, the sky was reflected in rosy clouds.

Chi Wanhe's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

In the depths of her clear pupils, a phantom of a ten-thousand-zhang Spiritual Sea seemed to flash by, then turned into irrepressible ecstasy.

The first thing she saw was Ling Hao standing in front of her with a smile.

"Revered Master!"

Chi Wanhe could not hold back her joy. With the excitement of having just broken through and full of dependence, she threw herself into Ling Hao's arms and hugged him tightly!

Her upturned little face was radiant, her voice carrying an excited tremor:

"Revered Master, I succeeded! I broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

The moment Chi Wanhe hugged Ling Hao, a cold and familiar female prompt sounded clearly in his mind:

"Ding! The Sect has given birth to its first Foundation Establishment Stage Disciple. Sect Master's cultivation has increased to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment!"
