Divine Ability of the Dao Foundation

Several more days passed.

On this day, Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged on the throne in the Eastern King Palace as usual.

He closed his eyes, his breath became heavy, and his consciousness entered the Divine Chamber, activating his Wandering Sight Divine Ability.

Another wisp of invisible smoke drifted out from the Divine Chamber and landed deep within the distant imperial palace.

For a long time, Chen Lingxi Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye every day, but Emperor Daye always kept his eyes closed and cultivated without gaining anything.

Even today, when that wisp of smoke settles into that magnificent palace...

"Hmm... Emperor Daye didn't go into seclusion today?"

Chen Lingxi saw that Emperor Daye was sitting on the high dragon throne, his body hunched over, a bright yellow brocade robe hanging on his thin, skeletal frame.

But the two golden flames in his eyes still flickered slowly.

He sat quietly, as if waiting for something.

Chen Lingxi did not withdraw from the state of being on the Sight-Roaming, and waited like this.

After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Just as Chen Lingxi was about to lose her Sight-Roaming, a person suddenly walked out from in front of the magnificent palace.

The man was dressed in a dark gold python robe, with a heroic face, and a surge of Qi and Blood flowing slowly through his body.

At the same time, through the perspective of Emperor Daye, Chen Lingxi could clearly see that there was a deeply buried spiritual energy constantly circulating within this person.

This spiritual energy is extremely extraordinary and profound, but it is not entirely contained within the Qi Sea), but rather penetrates deep into the person's bones, skin, muscles, and even internal organs.

"Body cultivation?"

Chen Lingxi was somewhat surprised.

"This Emperor Daye has countless powerful figures under his command, including Yuan Yuan, who once fought against Xiao Changlü, and the Purple-Robed Marquis I saw earlier."

Now there's another body cultivator among them."

Chen Lingxi pondered inwardly. He carefully observed the man and noticed that this powerful figure had a token hanging from his waist.

The token was also dark purple, and the words "[Fengshan]" were engraved on it.

"Fengshan?"

"Is it the Marquis Fengshan?"

Chen Lingxi had once held official titles and was naturally somewhat familiar with the history of the Great Li Court.

Among the twelve marquises who Great Li, the one with the greatest merit was the Marquis Fengshan!

The Great Li once granted the Marquis Fengshan a fief of 8,000 households, which was the highest honor that the centralized Great Li Court could bestow.

Now, 200 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The founding marquis must have already passed away.

"This person should be the contemporary Marquis Fengshan?"

Chen Lingxi silently pondered in her heart.

At that moment, Marquis Fengshan arrived at the foot of the high platform, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed in greeting.

"Saint!"

Marquis Fengshan's voice echoed in the empty hall, extremely calm. "News has come from the Heaven Gate Sea again."

Upon hearing the words "Heaven Gate Sea," the golden flames in Emperor Daye's eyes flickered even more intensely.

He gazed at Marquis Fengshan, quietly waiting for Marquis Fengshan to continue his report.

Marquis Fengshan said, "Following the guidance of the talisman, General Qi Lian has already found the stone tablet reflected in the Mirror Listening."

"General Qi Lian infused it with his Divine Sense and knew that this stone tablet was the one Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription."

"Then it will be just as the Mirror Listening said!"

Chen Lingxi's thoughts tightened.

Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription?

He continued to Sight-Roaming and listen, and then heard the Marquis Fengshan say, "That stone tablet is on Jade Pivot Island in the Heaven Gate Sea."

However, there were still Dao Platform Restriction restrictions on the stone tablet, and those restrictions were extremely mysterious.

General Qi Lian tried it himself, and even with his cultivation level, he couldn't break through the restriction in the slightest.

General Qi Lian could see through the origin of this stone tablet, but he was completely unable to perceive the Dao Foundation Divine Ability True Techniques within it.

Emperor Daye remained seated on his throne, his wrinkled, aged face revealing no emotion whatsoever.

He merely raised his eyelids slightly and slowly said, "The Dao Platform Restriction are inherently profound. It's only natural that Qi Lian, who hasn't even reached the Dao Foundation Realm, can't see through them."

Marquis Fengshan knelt respectfully in the hall and said, "General Qi Lian sent word that the Dao Platform Restriction is a barrier formed by the Dao Yuan of a Dao Origin Dao Foundation Realm cultivator after his death, which remains condensed and does not dissipate."

The fact that such a restriction could be set up means... that Dao Foundation Realm cultivator once visited the Heaven Gate Sea!

Emperor Daye took a deep breath. "The Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven... Many sects and cultivators from the Great Xuanzhuo Realm are unable to come in their true forms."

However, since Dao Foundation Realm cultivator perished on the Heaven Gate Sea, it proves that... there may be a passage within this world that leads to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

"Where there is coming, there is going!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingxi's heart pounded wildly.

What does this mean?

"Is Emperor Daye also searching for a way to leave this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven?"

His thoughts raced.

Xi Yuan once told him that when the various sects of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm sent their disciples to enter such Cave Heaven for the Rebirth Realm, they would leave behind the disciples' essence and qi!

Once the ownership of the Cauldron Vessel is determined, they will use this wisp of essence to guide the sect's disciples back to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

But now, it seems that Emperor Daye is searching for a way to leave the Cave Heaven.

Does this prove...?

"Could it be that Emperor Daye was not possessed by a powerful figure from the Great Xuanzhuo Realm?"

Chen Lingxi was somewhat incredulous for a moment.

The reason why Emperor Daye possessed a Cauldron Vessel was that, although it was unknown which floor of the Heavenward Realm he was on, the occasional spiritual light he exuded and the awe shown to him by so many powerful figures indicated that Emperor Daye was extremely profound.

"If Emperor Daye was not possessed by someone else, but was a native of this world."

So how exactly did he cultivate to such a level...? Xiao Changlü, who rivaled him, had cultivated diligently for many years, but was only at the second level of the Spirit Qi Realm...

Moreover, he also acquired the Cauldron Vessel and learned many secrets.

Chen Lingxi's thoughts flashed, but then she saw Emperor Daye extend a withered hand from his dragon robe.

He then lightly flicked his equally withered index finger in the Void.

A golden light emanated from his fingertips, condensing into a talisman in the Void!

The talisman drifted away and landed in the palm of Marquis Fengshan.

Chen Lingxi the aura within somewhat familiar.

He suddenly remembered the Sacred Character Rune that Rong Chun had activated during the struggle for the Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi.

The Sacred Character Rune were extremely profound, capable of raising Consort Rong's cultivation level from the Qi Circulation Eighth Floor to the Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation.

This allowed her to fight against many powerful beings Rebirth Realm.

At that time, Chen Lingxi believed that the Sacred Character Rune must have been fortuitous opportunity obtained by Consort Chun.

Looking back now, those runes must have been written by Emperor Daye.

"A rune written casually possesses such power..."

Chen Lingxi secretly wondered, "Does the Heavenward Realm Ascension Realm truly possess such immense power?"

Emperor Daye then spoke up, "Go to the Heaven Gate Sea and take this talisman with you. Then activate it with your Essence Blood."

"Although this talisman cannot break through the complete Dao Platform Restriction, it can tear a gap in it."

"As soon as the crack opens, I can see the stone tablet clearly."

Marquis Fengshan glanced at the shimmering talisman in his palm, then kowtowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

He straightened up, but did not immediately retreat. After a slight hesitation, he respectfully inquired, "Sage, what exactly is this kind of Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription?"

Golden flames flickered slowly in Emperor Daye's eyes, and a rare smile appeared on his aged face.

"The Dao Foundation Divine Ability... is the key for the Qi Circulation Realm Cultivators to advance to the Dao Foundation Realm, or for the Dao Foundation Realm cultivators to advance their cultivation level."

"Qi Circulation Realm cultivator reaches the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation, they need to condense their spiritual Qi into Dao Origin."

What is needed is precisely this Dao Foundation Divine Ability.

Cultivate the Dao Foundation Divine Ability, plant the profound Profound Root deep within the Qi Sea, transform the Qi Sea into Dao Platform, and condense the spiritual Qi throughout the body into Dao Origin!

He paused slightly, then spoke softly, "Once the Profound Root formed, it is like a towering tree taking root in a great tree."

From then on, the combat power, lifespan, and magical prowess of cultivators all underwent a qualitative change.

This is the key to the Qi Circulation Realm's leap over the dragon gate.

Countless brilliant talents have been stuck at this step, wasting one or two hundred years of their lives, ultimately exhausting their lifespan and failing to reach the Dao Foundation Realm, finally turning into a handful of dust."

Marquis Fengshan listened quietly, a hint of understanding appearing on his handsome face.

Emperor Daye continued, "And that Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription is the result of a Dao Foundation Realm cultivator engraving his lifelong understanding of Dao Foundation Divine Ability in a certain place using Secret Method before his death, leaving it for future generations to be destined."

With such an inscription, the process is many times faster than comprehending the Dao Foundation Divine Ability on one's own.

"If an ordinary cultivator is fortunate enough to obtain a Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription and comprehends it for several years, it will be equivalent to a hundred years of effort for others."

A glint of light flashed in Marquis Fengshan's eyes, and he looked extremely excited.

He took a deep breath and asked, "Sage, do you Dao Foundation Realm can live?"

"Eight hundred years!" Emperor Daye replied.

Marquis Fengshan stood respectfully at the foot of the steps, saying, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will certainly safeguard these Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription for Your Majesty."

Emperor Daye slowly shook his head. "Although the Dao Foundation Divine Ability is good, I have already cultivated some Divine Ability. These Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription and will fall into your and Qi Lian's hands."

"You two should do your best."

Marquis Fengshan respectfully took his leave.

The Sight-Roaming was thus shattered.

Chen Lingxi, who was far away in the Eastern Palace of the King of Cuojin Mountain, suddenly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a long breath, and a look of surprise appeared on his increasingly handsome face.

"Leaving aside the preciousness of this Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription."

This Sight-Roaming was very rewarding.

It seems that Emperor Daye is also searching for a way to leave the Cave Heaven.

"Furthermore, Emperor Daye said that he has already cultivated some Divine Ability. Does this mean that Emperor Daye has already reached the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation, obtained a Dao Foundation Divine Ability, and is now cultivating Dao Foundation Divine Ability, intending to cultivate Profound Root, forge Dao Platform, and step into the realm of the Dao?"

Chen Lingxi squinted her eyes.

"Heaven Gate Sea, Jade Pivot Island, and the Dao Platform Restriction?"

"Once I've achieved sufficient cultivation, or if I'm able to obtain the fragment of that Slaying-Force Cauldron, I'll make a trip to the Heaven Gate Sea."

Chen Lingxi had heard of this Heaven Gate Sea many times.

At the very beginning, Xi Mu told Chen Lingxi that it was said that Emperor Daye found a talisman in the Heaven Gate Sea, and that the talisman might contain the secrets of the Cauldron Vessel.

During the previous Sight-Roaming, the Purple-Robed Marquis also reported to Emperor Daye that the Cauldron Vessel in the Heaven Gate Sea had borne new fruit.

Today, there is another Dao Platform Restriction in the Astronomical Sea, with a stone tablet Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription.

"So many fortuitous opportunity, all within the Heaven Gate Sea; without much thought, it's obvious there's something fishy about it."

Chen Lingxi stopped thinking about it and suppressed her thoughts, "The most urgent matter is still the fragment of the Slaying-Force Cauldron in the Candlelight River."

He muttered to himself, and as usual, walked out of the palace, using the method of observing the qi (vital energy) to look at the Candlelight River from afar.

The Candlelight River, but there was no unusual movement.

Chen Lingxi returned to the Eastern King Palace to continue her cultivation.

Chen Lingxi circulated the Six-Qi True Method, and spiritual energy slowly circulated within his body.

The spiritual energy within the Qi Sea is also increasing day by day.

The three streams of Treasure Qi resonated with each other.

"I am now able to collect the fourth type of Treasure Qi, but I don't have a suitable one."

Chen Lingxi head slightly, and with a flick of her wrist, another Mystic Entry Blood Essence appeared in her hand.

It was Xiao Changlü's Essence Blood.

Chen Lingxi used the method of Qi Observation to focus on this drop of Essence Blood, his gaze penetrating the crystal-clear radiance on the surface of the drop of Essence Blood.

It seems to contain a very special power.

"Xiao Changlü's Mystic Entry Blood Essence is rather strange. When I observed it using the Qi Observation Method, I actually felt a Treasure Qi slowly flowing within it."

"Only..."

This Mystic Entry Blood Essence hung suspended in the Void, and Chen Lingxi could clearly sense the extremely powerful Qi and Blood pressure emanating from it.

"How can I not see through this Treasure Qi with my current cultivation level?"

Chen Lingxi frowned deeply.

Xiao Changlü was Mystic Entry Realm cultivator with formidable combat power, so Chen Lingxi was not surprised that a drop of his Essence Blood possessed such pressure.

What puzzled Chen Lingxi was...

"Xiao Changlü also Qi Circulation Realm, but his progress was slow. After many years of arduous cultivation, he only achieved the second level of cultivation."

But why does this drop of his Essence Blood contain such profound power, and why can't I see through it with my current cultivation level?

Did Xiao Changlü himself ever discover this?

Chen Lingxi stared at the Mystic Entry Blood Essence, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"It seems that only when my cultivation reaches another level, breaking through the Tenth Floor and reaching the legendary Ascending Heavenward Realm, will my Spiritual Qi undergo a qualitative change, and my senses, Divine Sense, and the method of Qi Observation be elevated to a completely new level."

Only then will I be able to see through the secrets of this Mystic Entry Blood Essence."

Chen Lingxi shook his head and put the Mystic Entry Blood Essence into the Hongdong Bag.

And so he continued his arduous practice.

Time slipped away quietly. Clouds surged and the sun rose and set over Inlaid Gold Mountain. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.

On this day, Chen Lingxi was sitting cross-legged in the Eastern King Palace, with three-colored light constantly flowing around him, and even occasionally flashes of lightning.

The Six-Qi True Method slowly circulated within his body.

Just then, Chen Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes.

After Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation, his senses became extremely acute. In addition, he had already developed Divine Sense, so even the slightest fluctuations could not escape his perception.

At this moment, Chen Lingxi clearly sensed a very strange fluctuation coming from the direction of the Zhuozhao River in the distance.

The fluctuations were filled with an ancient aura, pure yet violent, and contained a mysterious power that made one's heart tremble, unlike the spiritual energy of cultivators.

It contains a surging Killing Power, and is unparalleled in its ferocity.

Even from a distance of tens of miles, the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea still surged involuntarily, as if it were threatened.

"Slaying-Force Cauldron is about to be born."
