For example, Lin Jingtao, whom Chen Shuangbai knew, came from the Lin Clan, which held the same idea.
Yi Chongyue added, "The process of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment is already fraught with peril, with only a sliver of hope. At this point, how could one not seize every opportunity? Even if one remains trapped in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage life, one can still be considered a cultivator of the highest level."
Chen Shuangbai listened carefully and understood.
The Lower Vehicle Foundation Establishment may seem like stepping into the threshold of Foundation Establishment, but in reality, the path ahead is blocked. It only extends one's lifespan slightly, with limited improvement in strength.
However, for many people whose aptitude is not good enough, being able to Foundation Establishment is already a stroke of good fortune.
"Let's talk about the Middle Vehicle Foundation Establishment."
Yi Chongyue continued, "Those who can Middle Vehicle Foundation Establishment mostly have a solid foundation and a firm mind during the Qi Refining Stage, which allows them to successfully break through with the help of Foundation Establishment Pill and rituals."
He then used himself as an example.
"When I broke through to the Foundation Establishment, it was the Middle Vehicle Foundation Establishment. My Qi Sea's misty magical Law Power was relatively pure, and my Dao foundation was stable, which could support my subsequent cultivation. In the future, I will have the opportunity to seek the Golden Core."
Speaking of his past experiences, Yi Chongyue was quite moved.
"Only those who have reached the Middle Vehicle Foundation Establishment are true Foundation Establishment cultivators. Their Law Power and physical body undergo a qualitative leap, and their spiritual consciousness transforms into Divine Sense. They have the potential to continue improving during the Foundation Establishment Realm, and may even reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage or the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage."
As for obtaining the Golden Core... that depends on fortuitous opportunity.
Yi Chongyue himself wasn't sure how capable he was of obtaining Golden Core, so he avoided the topic, saying instead, "Let's not talk about me. With your aptitude, you're most likely a Middle Vehicle Foundation Establishment Middle Vehicle Foundation Establishment. I'm fairly confident about that."
Even though Chen Shuangbai performed so well, Yi Chongyue still thought he was probably only at the Middle Vehicle Foundation Establishment, and was one of the best among them.
As for Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment...
He had considered this, in fact, his current desire to gather five spiritual materials was to use the ritual to improve Chen Shuangbai's Spirit Root aptitude, catch up with those direct disciples with first-grade aptitude, and touch the threshold of Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment.
Even if there are no unusual phenomena by then, as long as Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment, there will be an opportunity to obtain the Golden Core Elixir.
As long as it's better than my Middle Vehicle Foundation Establishment... that's fine.
Seeing that his master seemed lost in memories, Chen Shuangbai felt reassured and steered the conversation back on track, asking, "Master, what is the state of Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment?"
Speaking of this Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment, even Yi Chongyue, who is now a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, couldn't help but become serious.
" Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment is the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment."
"Only those Foundation Establishment cultivators of Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment are truly high-level cultivators who can reliably attain the Golden Core."
"For example, the three True Person only qualified to stand out and seek the Golden Core after they had achieved Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment and manifested extraordinary phenomena, thus becoming ' True Person ' whom everyone outside would respectfully address!"
The Golden Core is merely the facade, let alone the Nascent Soul, which is above the Golden Core.
Chen Shuangbai asked in a low voice, "What is this unusual phenomenon?"
Yi Chongyue stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, as if he was recalling the records in the sect's classics and past experiences, and then slowly said, "The so-called vision is the moment when the superior foundation-building monks cast the Tao foundation, and the immortal foundation they forged condensed from the interaction between the heaven and the earth."
"It is a concrete manifestation of his profound spiritual foundation, mysterious and profound."
"Don't think that having a superior Foundation Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment guarantees extraordinary phenomena. In fact, it also depends on luck. However, if someone has a superior Foundation Establishment Higher Vehicle foundation and extraordinary phenomena accompany it, in addition to being guaranteed to reach the Golden Core stage, they may also gain one or more [ Divine Ability ]."
" Divine Ability?"
Chen Shuangbai caught a key word.
"That's right, it's [ Divine Ability ]!"
Yi Chongyue said, "Different phenomena represent the emergence of different Divine Ability... Hey, why am I telling you so much? In short, remember, don't be overly ambitious. If you can establish a foundation in the Middle Vehicle level, I will have to thank the ancestral master for his blessing!"
Seeing that although he said this, the hope in his eyes did not diminish, Chen Shuangbai knew that her master had high hopes for her Foundation Establishment.
Chen Shuangbai chuckled and took out a lot more incense pills for her master, saying, "These are all things I've refined these past few days. Master, you can use them or give them to me as gifts. This disciple will now go down the mountain and return to my cave abode to cultivate."
Although Yi Chongyue said he didn't want them, he still accepted them all.
After Chen Shuangbai descended from Deer Deep Waters Peak, she saw her master riding a streak of light and flying towards Heavenly Spring Peak. She knew in her heart that her master was delivering incense pills to her fellow disciples.
Chen Shuangbai naturally needed to cultivate good relations with the sects.
He didn't rush into seclusion to cultivate, but instead visited all the familiar fellow disciples in the sect and gave them all the incense pills, as a way of maintaining his relationships within the inner sect.
As Yi Chongyue said, this is something that benefits fellow disciples, so it is something that should naturally be done.
Those who received his incense pills from his fellow disciples or friends mostly returned the favor, and this back-and-forth solidified their friendship... As for his fellow disciples on his uncle's and master's side, Chen Shuangbai also personally made a trip to visit them.
He first went to his uncle, Peng Yu.
My uncle, Peng Yu, was in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. He broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage more than ten years ago. Because he was not good at fighting, but good at making spiritual water, he was given a sinecure on Heavenly Spring Peak. His main job was to make spiritual water for everyone to use when they were in Foundation Establishment.
She had two disciples, one male and one female.
The woman Chen Shuangbai had already met was none other than Senior Sister Deng Yuxuan, who had given him the spirit seed; her cultivation level was the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.
The other one wasn't on the mountain; he was said to be named Wang Jing, and had gone down the mountain to do some business for his martial uncle.
"Senior Sister Deng gave me the spirit seed last time, which helped me a lot... This is a fragrant pill that Junior Brother refined. It can calm the mind and help with meditation. Senior Sister can use one in her daily cultivation, and it has been quite effective."
Deng Yuxuan had a keen eye; she could tell from the sniff that it was a top-quality incense pill. Her impression of this junior brother improved even more, and she repeatedly urged him to stay so that her master could praise him properly when he returned.
However, Chen Shuangbai was mindful of visiting her senior uncle Shi Yubai, so she politely declined, saying, "As you know, senior sister, there are two senior brothers with senior uncle that I haven't yet met. I'm in a hurry to go there now, so I won't keep you any longer."
Deng Yuxuan thought to herself that it made sense, so she let him go.
Two disciples of Shi Yubai.
Yuan Bikong, Han Su.
Yuan Bikong is the eldest disciple, currently in seclusion to recuperate and prepare for his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment. Han Su is the second disciple, and also a genius with top-tier aptitude among Chen Shuangbai's generation of disciples.
This was the first time the two had met, but Han Su acted as if they were very familiar with each other, saying, " Junior Brother Chen, you finally have time to come see me. Ever since Senior Brother went into seclusion, and Master won't let me go down the mountain at will, I've been feeling quite stifled."
Han Su was dressed in a gray Buddhist robe. Although he was handsome, his slightly raised eyebrows gave him an air of unease, but Chen Shuangbai felt that he was quite sincere.
