Reaching the Eighth Stage and returning to Blue Star
He didn't utter a sound until the Yellow Rank Blood Origin True Qi completely dissipated before slowly opening his eyes.
He switched to a different cultivation method, named "Taiyuan Cangming True Art," Profound Rank technique. It was a precious method he had obtained from True Person Chi Yun after nearly twenty years of serving him.
Its cultivation difficulty is a thousand times or even a hundred times that of ordinary cultivation techniques.
True Person Chi Yun once obtained this skill by chance in an ancient ruin. Although it did not conform to the methods of the Motian Sect, it still had its own unique aspects.
Chen Du didn't rush to fix it; he simply memorized it.
Now that the world has been transformed and the Foundation Establishment, this merit can be put to good use. When the foundation is established in the future, the origin of this merit can be explained in a plausible way, so as not to arouse suspicion.
The strongest aspect of the "Taiyuan Cangming True Art" is the True Qi it produces, which can reach the middle grade of the Profound Rank.
It is far superior to the Blood Origin Unity True Qi.
Time passes silently. Outside the cave, the wisteria flowers on Butterfly Dragon Peak bloom and fall, fall and bloom again.
Fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Du did not leave the cave again. When he opened his eyes again, a thin layer of dust had accumulated in the cave.
His demeanor was completely different from what it had been fifty years ago.
The Taiyuan Yuan Cangming True Qi flows through the meridians like the vast and deep waters of the ocean, endlessly layered.
Qi Refining Great Perfection, possesses mid-grade True Qi at the Profound Rank, and mastered two great secret techniques. His cultivation in both Martial Dao and Immortal Dao has been fully restored.
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling that his body was finally starting to look presentable again.
Chen Du sat in the deepest part of the cave, with layers of restrictions opened around him, and the spiritual energy was almost condensed into a tangible substance.
He first took out a Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass, crimson like a dragon, with a warm yet domineering medicinal power flowing between its leaves. Then he took out the Taiyi Golden Flower Jade Nectar, half a bottle of jade liquid in the jade box, as still as moonlight, with a pure and penetrating fragrance.
Finally, he opened his palm, and the amber-like Foundation Establishment Pill lay quietly, its surface covered with extremely fine Dao patterns, like sealed little dragons.
Without further hesitation, he put all three items into his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed.
The moment the medicine entered my body, it felt as if a celestial fire burned from my throat into my dantian, or as if an icy river flowed upstream from my tailbone.
The medicinal power of the two Foundation Establishment Divine Objects and the Foundation Establishment Pill exploded within his body, and the Yuan Cangming Sea True Qi, like a deep sea current, moved slowly, gradually turning from calm to surging.
Chen Du gritted his teeth, focused his mind, and let the medicinal power wash over his meridians.
The Cangming True Qi was already profound and pure, and now, stimulated by the medicinal power, it surged even more like a vast sea, wave after wave impacting the mysterious Heavenly Gate.
The Profound Rank Xuan-level True Qi is far superior in quality to Blood Origin True Qi; it is like a dragon or a serpent, with overwhelming power.
All the failures and waiting he had endured in his previous lives had now transformed into willpower.
Chen Du no longer hesitated; with a 70% chance of success, it was worth the gamble.
He first deliberately suppressed it, then suddenly released it, thus creating a tidal wave of impact.
The medicinal power enters the body, and true qi flows like a dragon.
The Taiyuan Yuan Cangming True Qi is no longer the dragon that once coiled in the shallows, but a true azure dragon that has broken free of its shackles.
It rose from the depths of the dantian, carrying the immense medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill and the two divine objects, and surged straight up along the meridians.
But that's far from enough!
Chen Du could clearly sense that the dragon was not rushing towards a door, but rather lifting him up, lifting his soul and body, to completely pull him out of the mire of the mortal world.
It is a process of transcending oneself; it is not that he controls the true qi, but that the true qi merges with him, and together they embark on a transformation.
True Qi, like a dragon, lifts oneself up, which means to create a Divine Status for oneself in the unseen realm.
Without that Divine Status, one will forever remain a mortal, an ant in this world.
Chen Du felt his soul rising continuously under the influence of true qi, with black winds howling all around and countless marks of heaven and earth like knives cutting through his will.
Those marks are tests set by Heavenly Dao.
Immediately afterwards, inner demons arose, and terrifying events and things surged out from the deepest part of his memory, turning into hideous faces that lunged at him.
He gritted his teeth, trying to ignore everything and protect his mind.
Above that lies a vast and boundless world.
It was a chaotic, ambiguous space, seemingly both real and unreal.
With no sky above him and no ground beneath his feet, he was carried only by a dragon formed from true qi, slowly traversing the boundless expanse.
Chen Du knew that he had to solidify his Divine Status here and completely integrate it into his Divine Foundation in order to forge a true "Foundation Establishment Divine Realm" that belonged to him.
He reached out, grasped the true qi, and pressed it into the deepest part of his soul.
With a loud bang, his whole body trembled violently. The true qi of the Yuan Cangming Ocean, the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the enlightenment of reincarnation, the Taixu Fist, and the thoughts of nine lifetimes all collapsed into a single point at this moment, and then bloomed again from that point.
When he opened his eyes again, an indescribable "base" had appeared inside his body.
That was not only the spiritual foundation, but also the immortal foundation, and even more so, the Dao foundation he had forged with all his life's pursuit. In this vast and boundless Foundation Establishment Realm, it occupied a small corner of the world.
Once this foundation was established, his Divine Status suddenly soared, instantly surpassing the Divine Status the Spirit Martial Realm, and becoming more than 10 times higher!
The Divine Status the Spirit Martial Realm is ultimately an external thing, the authority of a small world.
This Divine Foundation, however, grew out of his body, merged with his soul, and shared the same origin as the true qi. Its potential was almost limitless.
It merged into the Divine Foundation and became part of his Great Dao, and it can continue to rise upwards in the future.
Chen Du looked down at his palm.
There was nothing there, yet he felt as if he were holding the entire world in his hands.
He slowly clenched his fists, a smile playing on his lips.
The Foundation Establishment, and it's complete.
He raised his head and looked towards the boundless horizon.
From then on, the sky could no longer hide him.
Having left that boundless, traceless land and returned to the real world, Chen Du slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
After the breath left the body, it condensed into a white streak in the air, lingering for a long time.
At that moment, a sudden gale arose outside the cave, and clouds gathered towards Butterfly Dragon Peak like dragons and snakes.
Lightning flashed faintly in the sky; this was the natural response of heaven and earth when the Foundation Establishment was established.
Someone noticed, but it was too late.
Chen Du slowly finished his practice, and his aura receded into his body like a tide.
With his Foundation Establishment established and his Divine Status firmly established, he had received an immense blessing from this trip to the Red Sun Immortal Realm.
But after a quick mental calculation, he felt a sinking feeling.
He spent over fifty years in the Red Sun Immortal Realm. Based on the flow of time, it's estimated that more than two days have passed on Blue Star.
Don't underestimate these past two days. The spiritual energy on Blue Star Spiritual Qi Revival, changing every day. What if an Eighth Stage alien race descends in just two days?
If he continues to linger, by the time he returns, Blue Star may no longer be the Blue Star he knows.
Without further hesitation, he gathered the essential items in the cave, absorbed the remaining medicinal power of the two Foundation Establishment Divine Object into his body, and then activated [Myriad Worlds Traversal].
A portal of light unfolded before our eyes!
The long-lost scent of Blue Star wafted in from behind the door, carrying with it the aroma of grass, dust, and a faint trace of blood.
He stepped in, and the world turned upside down; his consciousness floated and sank in the flowing light.
When I opened my eyes again, I was standing deep in Mount Tai.
Ancient trees towered all around, and spiritual mist surged; it was the very forest he had left behind.
He took a deep breath, the familiar spiritual energy filling his lungs, and the distant sky began to brighten.
