Chapter 192

Of course, at Wen Xu's current level, there was no need for him to observe the process of advancing to Nascent Soul. Even Golden Core was a stretch. But when it came to Foundation Establishment, he saw more with his eyes closed.

It was a subtle, almost unfathomable sensation. When he opened his eyes, his gaze drifted involuntarily to the rosy light. It was the closest a cultivator could come to the power of the Heavenly Dao, and no one could resist its allure. But when he closed his eyes, the wind became his eyes.

Wind had no shape, but the rosy light descending upon Ming Jing during her Foundation Establishment cast it into "the shape of the light." Wen Xu discovered that he could actually "see" its flow with perfect clarity. Like sunlight falling on a lake after rain, each ray was perfectly straight and clear. But when the light fell on Ming Jing, it took on her colors.

It happened quickly. Wen Xu even held his breath. For an instant, he felt as though he were Ming Jing. By the time he came back to himself, his thoughts were surging wildly.

So this was Foundation Establishment.

Wen Xu asked himself honestly: did he truly lack what it took to establish his foundation? Was he rushing things? Or did a cultivator gain some extra perception the instant they felt ready?

Wen Xu did not know. He remained in a daze until Ming Jing successfully established her foundation.

When the rosy light faded, Ming Jing slowly opened her eyes. She knew she had succeeded. From now on, she would no longer be confined by who she had been. She would walk a new path and see more of the world. The Jiang Household had long since become a passing cloud.
