Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 73 Death and Rebirth

"Those who build foundations build the foundation of the Great Dao Immortal, tempering the physical body while integrating the ordinary qualities. The six senses are empty and tranquil, and the five energies converge into the primordial Qi. The three Yangs converge at the top of the head. When the merit is complete, the body is forgotten. The fetus is transformed into an immortal. The Yin is exhausted and the Yang is pure. Only then can one transcend the material world and ascend to immortality, transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint. From then on, one is ranked among the immortals and rejects the mundane world."

Inside the cave, Lu Yang sat on the cushion, silently comprehending.

"For this step of foundation building, different techniques have different descriptions, but no matter which one it is, when it comes to practice, the steps are actually not that different."

That is to use one's own true energy as the foundation, support the sea of ​​consciousness, refine the body and ascend.

For example, the "Nine Transformations Dragon Art" he practiced could, after perfection, cultivate the third-grade true qi "True Dragon Evil".

As for the more advanced foundation-building techniques, the "Treasure Scroll of Myriad Dragons Riding on Ascension" clearly describes how to complete the process of physical refinement and ascension through the true dragon evil.

Here we can see the importance of the grade of true qi.

If the quality of the true qi is not high enough, one will either be unable to lift the sea of ​​consciousness, or will be exhausted halfway through the ascent and fall to the ground with a bang, resulting in death without a burial place.

The entire foundation-building process is such a path to ascension.

The end point of the road to ascension is the 'Foundation Establishment Stage'.

Seeing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but exclaim: "Foundation Establishment Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, it turns out that it doesn't refer to a realm, but a place!"

Having said that, ascension is only the first step.

When a cultivator lifts up his sea of ​​consciousness and completely ascends to the foundation-building stage, he must begin to build his own immortal foundation to ensure that he can stay in the foundation-building stage.

This is another big hurdle.

Even if ordinary cultivators have completed the step of ascension, most of them have exhausted their own foundation, and as a result they can only barely create a shaky immortal foundation.

The result was that the immortal foundation was unstable and could not withstand the pressure of the foundation-building stage, and collapsed.

If the ascension fails, there may still be a hope of survival, but if the immortal foundation collapses, the cultivator himself will definitely die. Luo Wuya probably failed at this hurdle.

You must know that when a cultivator ascends to the Foundation Establishment Realm and begins to build an immortal foundation, in addition to having a solid foundation in cultivation, he will also generate endless evil thoughts out of thin air. If his heart is not firm and his mind is restless, he will inevitably be affected by the evil thoughts, and no matter how deep his foundation is, it will be of no avail.

“It’s really difficult.”

After sorting out the process of breaking through the foundation-building process, Lu Yang memorized all the contents, secrets, and key points of the "Treasure Scroll of Ten Thousand Dragons Riding to Ascension" in his mind.

Then, he took out the Ascension Order and put it in his palm to transform it.

The next second, the Ascension Order turned into a stream of light and flew into his sea of ​​consciousness, illuminating his mind and making him feel as if he was floating in the air.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Lu Yang entered a state of meditation.

From the Dantian, a stream of true energy emerged, and it grew into a ruler, scales, claws, teeth, hair, and finally transformed into a lifelike real dragon.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the real dragon left the Dantian, went up through the Ren and Du meridians, passed the Crimson Palace, entered the Purple Mansion, and went straight to the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yang felt the sky in front of him suddenly brighten. The true energy that was originally so vast that it seemed never to be exhausted, at this moment, poured out continuously like water from a floodgate, and turned into an indescribable force, pushing his sea of ​​consciousness to gradually climb higher!
"Fortunately, I have this Ascension Order."

Lu Yang was clear-headed. It was not an easy task to lift his sea of ​​consciousness up into the void. There were supposed to be nine levels of barriers blocking the way. Every time he broke through a barrier, he would inevitably consume a lot of his energy.

However, with the blessing of the ascension order bestowed by Yinshan Zhenren, all the gates of the nine levels of heaven and earth were opened, and his path to ascension was unobstructed.

And more importantly, he didn't start from the bottom.

"Because I became a 'Saint Thief', I already have a certain status, so strictly speaking, I actually started to ascend in mid-air."

The journey to ascension was therefore shortened by a little.

Although it is just a small section, it may actually be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. I don't know how much effort it saved Lu Yang.

The Saint Thief and the Ascension Order each resolved a calamity for Lu Yang on his way to ascension, while the third-grade 'True Dragon Evil' provided Lu Yang with a sufficiently deep foundation, so that he did not have to worry about running out of energy halfway through the flight, but could ascend step by step into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Lu Yang only felt that the brilliant light of the sky before him gradually dimmed, as if he had passed through an area, and a boundless land appeared in his field of vision.

Looking down, Lu Yang actually saw himself.

In addition, he also saw Yinshan Mountain, the Chusheng Sect, the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, as well as all living beings who were busy with their lives.

Or in other words - the red dust.

He had seen this scene once before. On Skull Mountain, Yinshan Zhenren took him to see a battle between foundation-building cultivators. This was the scene at that time.

However, his true spirit was dim at that time, and he could not see the appearance of the Foundation Establishment Master at all. He could only see the Dharma light emitted by him. If he had the chance to see it again, he should be able to see it more clearly. At this moment, he could even see a figure sitting in the northwest direction closest to him.

That is Yinshan Zhenren.

The immortal base under his seat is a huge black mountain. Although it stretches for thousands of miles, it is extremely small in the boundless foundation-building realm.

At the same time, Yinshan Zhenren seemed to have discovered him.

The next second, a voice came from a distance:

“Focus your mind and don’t let your mind wander”

The sound was like the gurgling of a spring, instantly washing away Lu Yang's emotions. He then realized, "The evil thoughts have invaded and stirred up my distracting thoughts!?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yang dared not neglect it any longer and immediately turned his attention to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now that the Saint Thief, Ascension Order, and the third-grade Qi had all been used to their full potential, from now on, he would have to rely on himself. Lu Yang gradually gathered his Qi and began to build his Immortal Foundation.

However, he soon discovered the problem.

"Not enough true energy"

The distraction in that moment just now caused him to lose 30% of his true energy, which made the already limited true energy even worse and made it difficult to continue.

Lu Yang had no choice but to reduce the scale of the immortal base.

The size of the immortal base often corresponds to the potential, cultivation, and magic power of the foundation-building immortal. If he reduces the scale, he will sacrifice his future for a breakthrough.

He continued to do this until it was reduced to half of its original size, and only then was his true energy just enough.

But the next second, Lu Yang saw Yinshan Zhenren standing up suddenly and striding towards him, letting out a cold and sinister laugh:

"Yes, yes, the immortal foundation has been established."

"It's worth my trouble to help you. Now the spiritual treasure in my hand is just missing an immortal foundation to replenish it. Junior Brother Lu, you really lived up to my expectations and are an excellent talent!"

Before he finished speaking, Yinshan Zhenren stretched out his hand!

A familiar feeling, a familiar terror. Lu Yang had personally witnessed Yinshan Zhenren's attack, and the power he displayed at this moment was exactly the same as he remembered.
Wait, the same?
"wrong!"

Lu Yang suddenly woke up with a start. In his memory, Yinshan Zhenren was dealing with the ancestor of the Yun family. There was no need for such a big fuss to deal with him. Just a look would be enough.

This is fake!

The next second, Lu Yang's eyes blurred, and when he looked again, the evil thoughts had dissipated. Yinshan Zhenren was still sitting there, and he just sighed with regret:

"What a pity, Junior Brother."

Lu Yang lowered his head in response, only to see that the immortal foundation he had just painstakingly built was riddled with holes because he had just been affected by the evil thoughts for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Yang could only smile helplessly: "It's bitter."

Rumble!
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the immortal foundation being shattered resounded throughout the foundation-building realm, even causing changes in the celestial phenomena outside. The sound of the wind was so sharp that it sounded like the cry of heaven.

Lu Yang kept this experience in mind and silently said in his heart:

"The Book of Hundred Worlds!"
