A moment earlier.
Fang Xi had heard the commotion outside, but he had not risen.
At that moment, he had reached a critical juncture.
The threads of golden light had all been absorbed by Fang Xi, flowing through his body and sorting his primordial energy.
In the darkness, he seemed to hear the sound of a shackle being unlocked.
"Dao Foundation achieved!"
Fang Xi opened his eyes and drew a deep breath. The acquired essence of water and grain drawn from mountain ginseng and yellow essence combined with the pure spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens. Together with the qi of his internal defense and nourishment, viscera, organs, and meridians, it merged with the many kinds of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy from the outside world—the greater yin, greater yang, lesser yin, lesser yang, and more—according to the methods in the Earth Origin Golden Book. It condensed into a drop of jade-like liquid threaded with golden light, which fell into his dantian.
This golden-threaded jade bead was the 'Earth Palace Primordial True Qi', a superior-grade magical power.
At last, Fang Xi had completed a hundred days of Foundation Establishment. He had even taken a single step from refining qi into the Dao and cultivated magical power!
Just then, the two doors shattered, and a skinny, bamboo-pole-like figure charged inside.
I'm rather lucky. I won't need to use the Substitute Art.
Seeing this scene, he immediately gathered his magical power, transforming it into a great hand that gently squeezed!
Pop!
In the next instant, Yan Tie's head exploded like a watermelon!
Bang!
The headless corpse fell to the ground. No matter how peerless his Martial Arts had been or how grand his ambitions, now everything would return to dust!
"As expected of superior-grade magical power. It really is something else!"
Fang
