One Hundred Days to Foundation Establishment, Perfect Dao Foundation!

As the medicinal power stacked, the process of Foundation Establishment accelerated significantly, with half of the mana in his dantian already converted into viscous, liquid true essence.

In the second month, he swallowed the third Foundation Establishment Pill. The liquid true essence grew in volume, gradually pooling at the bottom of his dantian and beginning to coalesce into a faint, shadowy silhouette of a foundation.

The third month... the fourth month...

Li Qingshan remained focused, completely immersed in the profound process of establishing his foundation.

Whenever he felt his strength waning or the speed of the process slowing, he would swallow a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill without the slightest hesitation!

If the outside world knew that someone was using top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills so extravagantly, countless jaws would surely drop in shock!

Every single one of these pills was enough to incite a frantic scramble among Foundation Establishment cultivators!

As the medicinal power of the ninth top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill fully dissolved, a sudden mutation occurred!

Inside Li Qingshan's dantian, that previously blurry silhouette of his Dao foundation suddenly erupted with a brilliant, dazzling nine-colored radiance! It began to ravenously absorb all the liquid true essence and the vast foundation he had accumulated over a century of bitter cultivation, becoming incredibly solid and imposing!

One inch, two inches, three inches...

The Dao foundation rose at a speed visible to the naked eye!

According to the height of the Dao foundation, they are classified into Low-grade, Mid-grade, High-grade, Top-grade, and Perfect Dao foundations!

Low-grade (under three inches), Mid-grade (three to six inches), High-grade (six to nine inches)...

Li Qingshan's Dao foundation broke through the nine-inch limit without the slightest obstruction; this was already the level of a Top-grade Dao foundation!

Many peerless geniuses with Heaven-grade spiritual roots, even with immense opportunities, could only reach the level of a Top-grade Dao foundation.

However, for Li Qingshan, it had not yet stopped!

Nine point one inches, nine point two inches... nine point eight inches, nine point nine inches!

In the end, the Dao foundation settled firmly at a height of nine point nine inches!

The Dao foundation was perfectly round and flawless, radiating a sense of perfect, harmonious Dao rhythm, as if mysterious runes were naturally inscribed upon it, resonating with the Great Dao of heaven and earth!

A Perfect Dao foundation!

The legendary, supreme Dao foundation—one in ten thousand!

Those who possess this foundation far surpass their peers in the quality and quantity of their true essence, recovery speed, affinity with heaven and earth spiritual energy, and even future potential, granting them the perfect aptitude to vie for the path of immortality!

The very moment the Perfect Dao foundation was achieved—

Hummm!!!

A terrifying, indescribable suction force erupted from within Li Qingshan's body!

In an instant, with him at the center, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred-mile radius went completely berserk! Whether it was the gentle wood energy, the violent fire energy, the heavy earth energy... or even the chaotic, murderous, and Sha energy filling this ancient battlefield ruin, all were forcibly plundered and swallowed by that incredibly domineering suction!

It formed a massive, visible vortex of spiritual energy!

At the center of the vortex was the valley where Li Qingshan resided!

Spiritual energy surged into his body like a tidal wave, refined by the Longevity Technique into pure, long-lasting true essence, which flowed into his nine-point-nine-inch Perfect Dao foundation, consolidating his Foundation Establishment realm!

Such a massive disturbance could not be fully contained even by the Five Elements Maze Formation, instantly alarming cultivators and creatures throughout the Black Wind Mountains and even further afield!

"What is happening?! Why is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rioting?!"

"What a terrifying spiritual energy vortex! Is some senior breaking through here? Could it be a Golden Core master?"

"The direction is the depths of the Black Wind Mountains... isn't that the ruins of the ancient battlefield? The energy there is chaotic; why would anyone choose to break through there?"

"The speed and range of this energy absorption... it's too terrifying! A mere Foundation Establishment breakthrough could never have such power!"

A hundred miles from the valley, a team of Qi Refining loose cultivators hunting demonic beasts turned pale with fright, their legs trembling as they gazed at the vortex of energy that connected heaven and earth.

Further away, in a small cultivation market, several early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were jolted from their meditation. They flew into the high sky, gazing toward the Black Wind Mountains with solemn expressions, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Even in some ancient caves hidden deeper within, several powerful divine senses quietly awakened, sweeping across the region and emitting faint sounds of astonishment.

Inside the cave, Li Qingshan was completely unaware of this, entirely immersed in the supreme pleasure of his rebirth.

His body was undergoing an essential transformation!

His lifespan surged!

His remaining lifespan, which had been only a few decades, instantly broke through its limits to reach four hundred years! For an "old man" of over a hundred years, this was nothing short of a gift of rebirth!

One must know that an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator only has a lifespan of two hundred and fifty-six years; Li Qingshan, due to his practice of the Longevity Technique, had attained four hundred years.

Although he was now nearly one hundred and seven years old, compared to a four-hundred-year lifespan, he was essentially a young man.

While his features had not changed drastically, the wrinkles on his face had significantly faded or vanished entirely, his skin had become firm and smooth, and his white hair was turning into a rich, deep black from the roots up at a speed visible to the naked eye!

A vibrant, youthful energy radiated from his body, leaving no trace of his former aged state.

He now appeared to be a man in his thirties; were it not for the vicissitudes in his eyes, no one would ever guess that this was an old man over a century old.

His divine sense expanded crazily!

Originally able to cover only a ten-zhang radius, it instantly broke through to a hundred zhang, two hundred zhang, three hundred zhang...

Finally, it stabilized at a range of a thousand zhang!

A spiritual sense intensity comparable to a Foundation Establishment Late Stage or even Great Perfection cultivator—it was simply monstrous!

His five senses were sharpened to the extreme, to the point where he could hear the subtle sounds of insects flapping their wings and plants growing in the distance.

Most importantly, there was the change within his Dantian!

That nine-inch-nine perfect Dao Foundation stood tall and imposing, like the cornerstone of an immortal palace.

Above the Dao Foundation lay a vast ocean of emerald-green True Essence, surging with waves that contained terrifying energy and infinite vitality!

This was the Longevity True Essence; its quality and total volume far exceeded that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator by several, or even over a dozen, times!

Although he was currently at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, the thickness of his True Essence was already comparable to that of the Middle Stage!

If he were to utilize the divine abilities and top-grade magical artifacts that came with the Longevity Technique, he would likely have the strength to contend even with a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator!

It was unknown how much time had passed before the massive vortex of spiritual energy slowly dissipated.

Li Qingshan slowly opened his eyes.

A flash of emerald light flickered within his pupils, as if they contained endless forests and vibrant life, before it immediately receded, becoming as deep as a sea of stars.

He gently clenched his fist, feeling the surging, terrifying power within his body capable of splitting mountains and diverting rivers, along with his brand-new, vibrant, and youthful physique; an unprecedented sense of strength and control welled up within him.

A hundred years of wasted time, yet in one morning he achieved Foundation Establishment, shedding his mortal shell—the path to immortality was now within reach!

Li Qingshan's heart was filled with endless emotion.

"Finally, am I also able to step onto the immortal path?"

Li Qingshan's heart trembled slightly, and his eyes grew a little moist.

He had spent a hundred years in the mortal world, thinking he was about to turn into a pile of dust.

But who could have imagined that at the ripe old age of one hundred, he would be able to step onto the immortal path, and now, after a mere seven years, he was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Four hundred years of lifespan—vast and boundless.

It gave him more ambition and expectation to peer into that legendary, supreme realm of the Dao!

Longevity remained difficult, but there was already a glimmer of hope.

However, he soon furrowed his brows; his powerful spiritual sense perceived several auras in the distance, cautiously exploring toward the valley where he had been in seclusion.

"Did I still alert others..." Li Qingshan muttered to himself, his gaze instantly turning cold and sharp.
