Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

Inside the porcelain vase, the Foundation Establishment Pill is as pure white as snow, and its fragrance is as ethereal as clouds.

Zhang Yao poured out the Jidan, raised his head and swallowed it down.

The elixir fell into the abdomen, and immediately turned into an invisible warm current that rushed to the limbs and bones, and then turned from solid to empty, and merged into the whole body's energy channels.

"Zizizi..."

Under the medicinal power of Zhuji Pill, the mana in the Qimai boiled like ice water poured into a frying pan.

"here we go."

Zhang Yao took a deep breath, calmed down, and mobilized his mana.

To break through the foundation building stage, there are three steps—mana atomization, Qi vein reversal, and Dao foundation condensation.

The foundation building pill has a blessing effect on these three steps.

Zhang Yao sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his breath fluctuated.

The first step is mana atomization:

In this step, through running the mysterious method and continuously purifying the mana, it is possible to make the mana produce a new qualitative change.

The more powerful the mana is, the more difficult it is to control the heart, and the greater the pressure on the Qi veins. Once there is an omission in the middle, and there is no assistance from the elixir or spiritual objects, the Qi veins will definitely be cut off.

However, this step was not difficult for Zhang Yao at all, and with the help of Jidan, it would be even smoother.

"Om!" "Om!"...

The five viscera vibrated and buzzed, like five new sources of power, coordinating with the continuous regulation of Qi channels, purifying mana.

With the blessing of the 'Five Elements Yunling Formation', the difficulty of purifying mana has been reduced to one-fifth.

And this kind of 'lowering' is also the unique strength of the ceiling of top-level exercises!

It didn't take long: the mana, like an invisible air current, was compressed and purified many times, and an extremely tiny 'water drop' was gradually born.

Immediately after the first tiny 'water droplet' appeared, there were second, third, and fourth...

A quarter of an hour later, all of Zhang Yao's mana was atomized. From the original "Yangtze River" to "Murling Stream", the total amount has been greatly reduced, but its pure level has increased by more than ten times!

"The second step is to reverse the energy channels."

Zhang Yao was firm in his mind, and stimulated his own energy channels with the pure mana after atomization.

Under the stimulation of the atomized mana, the hundreds of energy channels around the body began to reverse and retreat forcibly, like a spider web being compressed to the center little by little.

During this process--

The Vajra Mantra mantra formation and the Tianxuan Mingyu formation cooperate with each other, and the inside and outside are united, creating a strong pressure and making the process of Qi meridian reversal very smooth.

Half an hour later, the reversal of Qimai was completed.

At this time, within Zhang Yao's body, between the mutton center and the sea of ​​​​qi, there is a network of qi veins that seems to be virtual but not real.

This net of Qi veins is the prototype of Daoji.

The extremely abundant aura around him squeezed in like sea water, and under the integration of the prototype of the Dao Foundation, it was continuously transformed into mana, making Zhang Yao's mana stronger and stronger.

Soon, his own magic power gathered to the limit, and the prototype of Daoji was filled to a perfect state.

"call!"

Zhang Yao took a deep breath, and his mood was calm.

"The last step, come on."

With a thought, all the majestic mana surged, and all the rivers gathered into the sea, rushing towards the place where the tanzhong and the sea of ​​qi were located.

In an instant—

Zhang Yao felt his whole body trembling, as if there was a vast light in his mind, shining in all directions, making the world white.

At this moment, even with his eyes closed, he can still 'see' everything around him, clearly and vividly, with no blind spots in all directions.

"Consciousness Sea! Divine Consciousness!"

Heartfelt joy welled up in Zhang Yao's heart.

Opening up the sea of ​​consciousness and giving birth to divine consciousness means that he has successfully built the Dao foundation and was promoted to become a foundation-building monk.

"call……"

Zhang Yao let out a foul breath, slowly opened his eyes, with a faint smile on his face.

He shot himself with his spiritual consciousness, and he could see a golden light in the sea of ​​qi, rising and falling constantly, dominating the mana around him.

This is the Dao Foundation, which is the foundation of the cultivation base of the monks who established the foundation, and also the basis for refining the golden elixir in the future.

"Foundation establishment has finally been achieved."

Zhang Yao let out a long sigh, filled with emotion in his heart:

"After stepping into the immortal way for more than a hundred years, I finally reached this stage of cultivation."

He was 107 years old, and he only got a copy of "Thick Soil Jue".

Today, he is 272 years old, and after more than a hundred years of ups and downs, he finally became a foundation-building monk.

"It's not easy."

Zhang Yao sighed for a moment, then calmed down, and began to observe the changes in himself.

First of all, it is the most important foundation.

There are three grades of dao foundations, and nine grades of golden elixirs. What he cultivated is the "Tianzhen Sutra of Wanhuadu", and what he built is naturally a high-grade dao foundation.

The superior Dao foundation, the speed of absorbing and refining aura, the blessing of one's own mana, etc., are the strongest.

For example, if the earth spirit root monks build a first-class foundation, they can narrow the gap with the sky spirit root.

However, the further you go on the road of cultivating immortality, the lesser the influence of your aptitude; after you cultivate the Golden Core, your Heavenly Spiritual Root will be nothing but lost to everyone, and you won't have much advantage anymore.

"good."

Zhang Yao realized the effect of his Dao foundation, and nodded in satisfaction.

The effect of the superior Dao foundation was a little stronger than he expected, enough for him to truly rival the cultivation speed of Tianlinggen.

After Daoji, there is mana.

Zhang Yao's mana is five times that of the normal initial stage of foundation establishment, and it is somewhat more powerful than the perfect foundation establishment, but there is a huge gap in the level of purity, which is roughly equivalent to the late stage of foundation establishment.

After mana, is the body treasure.

In the process of building the Dao Foundation, Zhang Yao's body has been strengthened by a large part after washing the marrow and cutting the veins.

The 'Vajra Mana Secret Mantra Array' and the 'Tianxuan Mingyu Array' inside and outside the body have also been strengthened, but they are not enough to shake the spirit weapon for the time being.

Finally, there is the newly born consciousness.

"This feeling is really amazing..."

Zhang Yao poked out his consciousness and observed his surroundings, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

Spiritual consciousness can not only 'see', but also 'listen', and there is no blind spot. Wherever the spiritual consciousness goes, it is equivalent to having an extra pair of Celestial Eyes and Celestial Ears.

"No wonder there is such a huge gap between the combat effectiveness of Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Just the wonderful use of divine consciousness is enough to make a qualitative change in one's combat effectiveness."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao sighed in his heart.

Under the shroud of spiritual consciousness, the process of your mana circulation, magic weapon activation, and spell casting are all under the eyes of the other party, and can be seen at a glance.

In this way, even if it is the same realm and the same magic power, the party with the blessing of spiritual consciousness can easily fight against many with one.

The two are not a level at all!

"Shua!"

Zhang Yao's spiritual consciousness was fully opened, and he tried to spread it around, wanting to see the limit of his own spiritual consciousness.

In an instant, his consciousness penetrated the formations in the cave, and after colliding with the formations of other nearby caves, he actively avoided it under Zhang Yao's control.

The spiritual consciousness spread out like a tide, avoiding groups of 'reefs', and stretching until more than two hundred feet later, it finally reached the limit.

"Judging from the coverage area, the strength of spiritual consciousness is close to the late stage of foundation establishment."

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, and thoughts surged in his heart.

The longer the lifespan, the stronger the soul, and the blessing of martial arts cultivation, the strength of his soul has a great advantage in the Qi refining period.

But as he was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his advantages were also gradually diminishing. He was not as strong as in the Qi Refining Stage, but he was still far superior to the same stage.

"Um?"

At this moment, Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly.

In his spiritual consciousness, he noticed a large number of Qi refining monks coming from all directions, and there were also a few figures with strong breaths, and they also rode the escaping light to gallop towards them.

"It seems that the movement of promotion to Foundation Establishment was too great, and it alarmed these people."

Zhang Yao smiled freely and stood up:

"Forget it, it's just a matter of time to go out for a while to meet with colleagues from all directions."

…………

half an hour ago.

There are still people coming and going on Xianmen Island, and the light flickers back and forth like a rainbow, making it very lively.

Suddenly, there was a sudden roar in the sky, followed by a large amount of spiritual energy swarming in, quickly converging into a funnel-shaped vortex.

The scale of this aura vortex is so large that it has an area of ​​seven or eight acres, covering a small half of the residential area, far exceeding the movement of promotion during the refining period.

"This is... someone promoted to Foundation Establishment?!"

"Good guy! Someone in Xianmen Island has been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"It's such a good luck for us to bump into such a grand event!"

"Judging from the direction of the aura vortex, it seems to be the south side of the residential area... This Xianmen Island is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"

"Go, go, go and have a look!"

For a while, many monks on Xianmen Island became restless.

Given the prosperity of Dali's practice world, there are only three or four hundred foundation-building monks. It can be said that every foundation-building monk is a big shot among immortal cultivators.

Now on Xianmen Island, a new Foundation Establishment cultivator just happened to be born. This can be said to be a rare encounter in decades. How can we not go and see the demeanor of the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator?

"Boom..."

The lights in all directions are like thousands of rainbows across the sky, densely packed like crucian carp crossing a river.

At the same time, several Foundation Establishment cultivators on the island were also alarmed.

Except for the three Foundation Establishment cultivators who have been guarding Xianmen Island for a long time, the other two just happened to pass by on business. At this time, they all looked up at the sky with expressions of amazement:

"Someone has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"It's really lucky, I don't know which comrade it is..."

"Let's go and have a look."

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators rode the Escape Light from various places on Xianmen Island, passing across the sky.

"The Foundation Establishment Overhaul is here!"

"That's Elder Lingyang Zonggao stationed on Xianmen Island!"

"Quick, get out of the way!"

Where a few foundation-building monks passed by, many Qi-refining monks avoided them one after another, and at the same time looked at their escape light with envy and awe.

"boom!"

The light of the five foundation-building monks fell to the ground, greeted each other, and looked at the portal of the cave in front of them.

Judging from the entrance of the cave, the scale of this cave is small, and the layout and furnishings are also very shabby.

"It's actually the lowest-level cave on the island... This is basically the cave that some casual cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi refining would choose."

Elder Gao, the most powerful person on Xianmen Island, has a strange look on his face:

"This comrade is really low-key."
