Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment, the Spiritual Qi Tribulation
Buzz!
The Five-Element Conversion Formation began to operate, and the rushing Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi was transformed into streams of incredibly rich Metal-Attribute Spiritual Qi under the complex Array Mark.
Yang Tianyou sat cross-legged, surrounded by pale golden Spiritual Qi. Strands of hair on his forehead fluttered slightly, and his whole demeanor was solemn and dignified, revealing a transcendent aura.
Having cultivated the "Spirit-Shattering Instruction" for fifteen years, it had become second nature. The familiar Mnemonic flowed through his mind, and golden Spiritual Power surged from his Dantian, circulating through his meridians in the Greater Celestial Circuit Cycle.
As his cultivation progressed, more and more Spiritual Qi began to swirl around him, gradually forming four enormous Spiritual Qi Vortex.
Four Spiritual Qi Vortex slowly rotated on Yang Tianyou's head, Dantian, spine, and chest, from which pure Metal-Attribute Spiritual Qi surged and poured into his body.
Visibly, Yang Tianyou's aura began to slowly increase, and wisps of faint but powerful pressure began to appear around him, a sign of Life-Level Leap.
The whole day lasted until Yang Tianyou's energy reached its limit, and his Essence Qi reached their peak.
If not now, when?
Brush!
Opening his eyes, two beams of platinum light shot out nearly ten feet, piercing through the dense Spiritual Mist around him and creating two holes.
He took out the jade box that Yang Haoyu had given him, opened it, and inside lay a crystal-clear Pills that shimmered with Azure Light.
Glug!
He swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill directly.
In no time, streams of pure and vibrant gentle spiritual Spiritual Qi surged from his abdomen, quickly spreading to every part of his body, even enveloping his bone marrow in a warm sensation.
Sensing the changes occurring throughout his body, Yang Tianyou made up his mind and boldly initiated his breakthrough.
Boom!
The originally gentle Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly became violent.
An inexplicable fluctuation emanated from the unknown, indifferent, ruthless, yet benevolent and all-encompassing—an incredibly complex feeling, the Will of Heaven and Earth!
The Foundation Establishment stage is the beginning of the Dao, and even a small qualification is worthy of the attention of heaven and earth. Therefore, the breakthrough of the Foundation Establishment involves not only the cultivator himself, but also the test given by heaven and earth.
This test is the Spiritual Qi Tribulation!
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured into his body, completely out of control. The violent Spiritual Qi surged in from all directions like Savage Wilderness Giant Beast charging left and right, instantly engulfing Yang Tianyou.
Outside the Formation, Yang Danglong and Wolf Ancestor's expressions changed. The former exclaimed in surprise, "How could the commotion from this breakthrough be so great? If this continues, the Concealment Array won't last much longer!"
Wolf Ancestor didn't speak, but his gaze gradually turned dangerous, and his back arched slightly, ready to fight at any moment.
Yang Tianwang and the other six Yang Household Qi Refining cultivators from the Yang family also took out their magical Law Artifacts, their expressions wary and on guard. Everyone knew that once the Concealment Array could no longer hide the fluctuations of the breakthrough aura, it would inevitably attract the greed of many "Hyenas".
Yang Tianyou, who was at the center of the Formation, was unaware that his breakthrough had exceeded Yang Danglong's expectations.
He was facing a considerable problem at the moment: the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that had gathered was too much. Even with his physique, which was a step above that of a Qi Refining Great Perfection of Qi Refining Body Cultivator, he was finding it difficult to control. Small cracks appeared all over his skin, and his muscles and bones were under tremendous pressure.
"This won't do. Even with the Foundation Establishment Pill protecting us, it's still not enough!"
Muttering to himself, Yang Tianyou hardened his expression, took out a jar of Barbarian Tribe Body Tempering Liquid, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
Laugh!
The jar of Barbarian Tribe Body Tempering Liquid did not immediately change his situation; in fact, the increased internal pressure worsened his physical injuries.
However, Yang Tianyou had anticipated all of this. He activated the "Spirit-Shattering Instruction" and simultaneously refined the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the Barbarian Tribe Body Tempering Liquid.
Since the body cannot withstand it, then we can break through together. As long as our Body Cultivator also increases and our physique becomes stronger, we will naturally be able to withstand the powerful pressure brought by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Collapse!
The originally tough Skin Membrane gradually cracked and then healed at an extremely fast speed. The same was true for the muscles and bones. Destruction and rebirth alternated, like the tempering of Yin-Yang, water and fire. Under this peculiar condition, Yang Tianyou's cultivation steadily improved.
Finally, this elevation reached a critical point, like the calm before Volcano eruption or the stillness before a storm. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Magma Cavern suddenly became calm for a moment.
However, this eerie calm did not last long, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted and soared into the sky.
Rumble!
The soaring Spiritual Qi suddenly broke through the barrier of the Illusory Spirit Formation, connecting with the vast world outside, bringing even more intense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, as well as a faint, elusive Qi of Creation that seemed capable of creating all things and reshaping mountains and rivers.
Boom!
A massive Spiritual Qi Vortex floated above Yang Tianyou's head, like a giant funnel, as the torrential Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth suddenly washed over him.
The tough clothes woven from special spiritual silkworm silk were torn to shreds under this Spiritual Qi Torrent.
The slender, fluorescent body was instantly covered in wounds, with blood flowing freely from various wounds, some of which were even mixed with some shimmering white fragments of bone.
This is a trial for the brave only. Only those with unwavering will can maintain their true nature and guide their Spiritual Power in the right direction amidst the violent impact of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Yang Tianyou was undoubtedly such a person.
Amidst the Storm, he remained unmoved, his mind calm and confident. The Spirit-Shattering Instruction operated methodically, extracting streams of his own Spiritual Power from the violent yet incredibly dense Spiritual Qi and infusing them into his Dantian.
The vast and boundless Dantian space contained several times more Spiritual Power than before, which transformed into a large expanse of golden Spiritual Mist that drifted about.
The Spiritual Mist grew thicker and thicker, gradually forming clouds. Rain condensed within the clouds, eventually pouring down.
Splash!
The sound of flowing water, seemingly real yet not quite, began to resonate in my Dantian. At first, the sound was very soft, but later it truly sounded like a mighty river rushing endlessly, with turbid waves surging and splashing up boundless spray.
Liquid Spiritual Power, done!
Following the formation of liquid Spiritual Power, the originally scattered Spiritual Awareness also began to gather, gradually forming strands of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sense, which converged in the Sea of Consciousness.
In addition, nourished by the liquid Spiritual Power, his Fleshly Body began to gradually "Spiritual Transformation".
First, the meridians, each one running through the body's limbs and bones, gradually turned a golden hue. The fleshy sheen on the meridian walls faded, replaced by a flawless color like citrine.
After the meridians comes the Fleshly Body. With the help of the Barbarian Tribe Body Tempering Liquid, Yang Tianyou's physique has also been upgraded to the Foundation Establishment level. He can now contend with Foundation Establishment Cultivators with his Fleshly Body alone.
But that wasn't enough. As the liquid Spiritual Power washed down, his Fleshly Body began a profound Bloodline Metamorphosis, with golden Spirit Mark gradually imprinted deep within his Fleshly Body, bones, Skin Membrane.
