Verdant Hills Stream, inside the cave abode behind the waterfall.
Chen Shuangbai retrieved all his Law Artifact and Spirit Artifact, took out some pills and swallowed them, then sat cross-legged on the spot, drawing in the moonlight and water vapor, silently circulating his profound energy, pushing his cultivation to the highest level of Qi Refining.
Because of the exceptional care involved, the process was implemented gradually, taking about a year.
One year later.
Chen Shuangbai is already twenty-eight years old.
He released his spiritual sense, looked inward at himself, and saw the Law Power mist floating in his dantian like a thick fog. Feeling the faint sense of expansion, he knew it was time to break through to the Foundation Establishment.
There are three major challenges in Foundation Establishment.
Law Power, spiritual consciousness, and physical body.
His Law Power goes without saying. The profound skill that Chen Shuangbai mainly cultivates, " The Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method," involves observing the twelve phases of the moon and practicing in the direction of the Grand Yin. The Law Power he cultivates is extremely pure and clear, far surpassing other profound skills.
Thanks to the " Moonlight Spirit-Nourishing Instruction," his spiritual sense has been cultivated to a level far surpassing that of his peers. He can even vaguely perceive the good and evil others have for him, which is truly mysterious.
As for the physical body...
Physical strength was one of Chen Shuangbai's weakest aspects.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered finding a Body Refining Cultivation Method, but he simply didn't have the time. In addition, the " Water and Wood Pure Splendor Incantation," which he was practicing and which provided enhancements, largely compensated for the disadvantages caused by his weak physical body, so he decided to put it aside for the time being.
However, this weakness... only refers to its weakness in terms of hardness.
Chen Shuangbai's body was nourished by the moonlight every day. It might be an exaggeration to say that she had ice-like skin and jade-like bones, but under the constant immersion of the moonlight, she had indeed become exceptionally pure and translucent.
Therefore, what are the three stages of Foundation Establishment that are more treacherous than the last for others are merely slightly undulating hills for Chen Shuangbai.
He rode the wind and drove the clouds, easily crossing over.
Chen Shuangbai first took the Foundation Establishment Pill, then took out the [Azure Accumulated Green Foundation Establishment Ritual]. As soon as his Law Power entered it, the ritual emitted various kinds of azure light, which floated above his head and descended to bless him.
Feeling the blessing within her body, Chen Shuangbai silently circulated the " Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method ".
Suddenly Lord of the First Month Divine Aspect, appeared behind him. With a flick of the green jade tablet, he drew in the moonlight from the sky, which flowed straight down like water, shimmering with dark osmanthus and moon patterns.
But instead of drawing the moonlight onto Chen Shuangbai, it fell upon a hazy, indistinct figure to the side.
As the moonlight continued to pour in, the illusory figure gradually became clearer, revealing itself to be a red-haired Moon Lord Divine Manifestation riding a crimson leopard.
Chen Shuangbai felt a chill run down her spine.
'Red hair billowing in the wind, riding a crimson leopard... This is [ Fifth Month ]!'
Yes.
The timing makes sense.
It is currently summer outside, corresponding to the [ Fifth Month ] month in the twelve lunar phases. This lunar phase governs the long summer, with the heat rising and the yang energy changing.
Chen Shuangbai thought to himself that the timing of this lunar phase formation was both intentional and coincidental.
The dragon-headed, human-bodied Lord of the First Month Divine Aspect and the red-haired, wind-blown Lord of the Fifth Month Divine Aspect, their eyes seemingly filled with wisdom, exchanged a glance and simultaneously drew upon the moonlight, pouring it into Chen Shuangbai's body.
With the assistance of the [Azure Emerald Foundation Establishment Ritual], Chen Shuangbai began to attempt to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.
The essence of the many jade and Spirit Stone piled up inside the cave abode began to be continuously absorbed by the two Moon Lord Divine Manifestation, merging into the moonlight and then sinking into Chen Shuangbai's body.
Chen Shuangbai circulated his profound internal energy, and ripples gradually arose in his dantian.
The two Moon Lord Divine Manifestation distinct auras, hung behind them, yet shared the same origin. At this moment, under the harmonizing influence of the azure and white spiritual light descending from the [Azure Accumulation of Greenery Foundation Establishment Ritual] above Chen Shuangbai's head, they formed a wondrous flow of yin and yang, and an alternation of hot and cold.
Within the Qi Sea, the originally misty and cloud-like vast Law Power began to surge violently under the nourishment of the Yin-Yang Moon Essence Dew.
The misty mass of Law Power energy resembled boiling water, and at its center, a deep, moon-white light began to emerge. The surrounding vital energy was massively drawn in and poured into Chen Shuangbai's body.
Chen Shuangbai focused his mind and silently circulated his profound inner energy, like a little gluttonous beast, frantically devouring all the vital energy.
Time passed slowly. The jade and Spirit Stone piled up inside the cave abode lost their luster at a visible speed under the frantic absorption of the two divine figures and the ritual implements, eventually turning into a pile of grayish-white dust.
The moon-white spot in Chen Shuangbai's dantian, which started as small as a pinhead, gradually grew to the size of a fingernail, and was expanding little by little as her profound energy circulated...
This skill of ink painting requires utmost diligence.
The sun and moon alternated on Chen Shuangbai's body; his Shadow appeared and disappeared, reappeared, and disappeared again...
He sat quietly in the cave abode like a statue, letting the sunlight and moonlight stream down, with two Moon Lord Divine Manifestation guarding Chen Shuangbai, this king, like loyal guards.
Chen Shuangbai had already sensed an invisible barrier, which was groaning under its own weight.
He knows.
This is the time.
The moon-white color in the Qi Sea continued to spread, like ripples spreading in all directions, one circle after another, one layer after another, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks against the invisible barrier.
At a certain moment.
Deep within my consciousness, a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, erupted!
That invisible barrier shattered instantly!
In that instant, all the misty magical Law Power within Chen Shuangbai's Qi Sea was poured into the central point of moon-white color. A sound like flowing water rang out as the clear Law Power transformed into liquid and poured into the Qi Sea, creating a large lake out of thin air.
The lake water shimmered, reflecting the two phases of the moon, casting a silvery glow across the land, creating a truly magical scene.
At the same time, Chen Shuangbai's physical body also underwent its final baptism and transformation.
His bones began to crackle like popping beans, becoming denser and more lustrous.
The Qi and Blood are also nourished, flowing continuously in the new meridians, clear and full of vitality.
The combination of these two factors ultimately gave him a gentle and refined demeanor.
At that moment, spiritual consciousness also underwent a qualitative change!
It seems to have broken through some kind of limitation.
It transformed into a more powerful, more agile, and more extensive " Divine Sense."
Everything in the entire cave abode and even the entire Verdant Hills Stream —the rustling of grass, the flow of Spiritual Qi, even the crawling of insects in the soil—was clearly reflected in his "heart lake," every detail vividly displayed!
Law Power power liquefies, the physical body undergoes transformation, and spiritual consciousness Spirit Transformation!
Having passed the three trials, the foundation for the Dao has been laid!
Chen Shuangbai has officially entered the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Before Chen Shuangbai could even breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to stabilize his newly formed realm, the two Moon Lord Divine Manifestation behind him trembled simultaneously, and their divine artifacts gently pointed at him.
Two streams of moonlight, distinct in nature yet originating from the same source, instantly entered Chen Shuangbai's dantian and his dantian.
then.
The Qi Sea surged, and a sudden change occurred!
