Jiang Yi had once set foot in the [Great Void], which only those of True Lord stature could enter.
That place was vast and nebulous. Without perfected Destiny Nature and fully developed Divine Abilities, one could not remain there at all; otherwise, one would undergo "dissolution into the Dao," ending in Form and Spirit Annihilation. The [Foundation Establishment Realm] bore some resemblance to the [Great Void], yet was utterly different.
The latter was ethereal and illusory, unreal and insubstantial; the former was a wondrous Mystical Realm that truly existed.
Jiang Yi forged his Ten-Thousand-Chariot Dao Foundation, and his Divine Sense soared, seemingly breaking through the fetal membrane of heaven and earth as his entire body shook violently.
Then strains of immortal music reached his ears. Ten thousand streams of auspicious mist spread into a long staircase, ushering him inside.
"So the [Foundation Establishment Realm] is a boundlessly expansive 'Great World.'"
Jiang Yi looked into the distance. Green mountains rose in overlapping emerald folds, and waterways wound through them. Dense Spirit Chance condensed into sweet rain and dew, scattering everywhere and nourishing the fertile plains. Such splendid scenery truly brimmed with life, opening the heart and refreshing the spirit.
As Jiang Yi opened and closed his eyes, lightning crossed and silver light flashed. A majestic, imposing presence spread outward, bearing down upon an area a hundred zhang across.
Standing in the [Foundation Establishment Realm], he felt closer to the [Great Dao]. Many insights surfaced in his heart, and numerous past doubts resolved themselves like bamboo splitting before a blade. "Foundation Establishment cultivates Destiny Nature. One must nourish the Dao Foundation with one's life, perfect one's true nature, and ultimately cultivate a Five Virtues Blessed Land. Once all Five Arts are complete, one can attempt to advance to the Metal Position." Jiang
