Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 154: Build the Immortal Foundation!

"it is good!"

Lei Lingguan stood in the hall and laughed.
"You're a good kid! If you're so humble, then I'll have a word with you!"

"Our five palaces are connected by the same energy. When you exchange spiritual objects with the other four palaces, your own calamity energy will increase. Too much calamity energy will trigger a catastrophe. When the catastrophe comes, you must find a way to avoid it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Of course, this calamity wasn't set up by me, Lei Lingguan, to deliberately make things difficult for you. Everything is caused by the Red Sky Heaven, and naturally it is also related to this [Purple Star Fate Palace]. If you don't want to encounter this calamity, you must honestly do as I say and avert it."

"Also, this calamity isn't limited to the [Purple Star Fate Palace]. Anyone cultivating in the world will encounter calamity as their cultivation level increases. This is the punishment for defying the will of heaven, also known as heavenly punishment. However, the vast majority of them are unaware of the hidden dangers involved and believe they are simply unlucky!"

"Looking at the cultivators throughout history, there are very few who have managed to turn adversity into good fortune, and those who have been able to turn misfortune into good fortune. Those who are doomed to die are as numerous as the stars in the sky, countless."

The more Xu Boyang listened, the more shocked he became. He never thought that the thing he picked up was actually related to the sky. His face turned pale for a moment, and he swallowed his saliva and said:
"Lei Lingguan, I'd like to hear the details!"

"Remember, there are six types of calamities: small, medium, large, earth, life, and heaven. These correspond exactly to the realms of Taoist cultivation. Of course, calamities aren't just for Taoists; the Dao is ruthless and treats everyone equally. It's just that Taoists were the first to discover them, so they named them that way."

"I'll give you an example and you'll understand. The simplest example is about a Condensation Essence breakthrough to a Foundation Establishment. Why does one die if the breakthrough fails?"

"It's just the most basic level of cultivation. It shouldn't be this serious. If one fails in building the foundation, the most that can happen is that one can't build the foundation at all, and will stagnate for the rest of their lives, unable to make any further progress. Logically, they should be able to disperse their power and start over, and not die. In fact, the reason is that the heavens have set up restrictions on magical powers, which has brought about a calamity."

"This calamity is a minor one."

"What? Failure to break through and death is considered a minor calamity?"

Xu Boyang's face was full of surprise and he was speechless for a moment.

Lei Lingguan seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and said with a smile:

"Of course it's a minor calamity. Haven't you seen Foundation Establishment cultivators everywhere in the world? If it were a major calamity, wouldn't Foundation Establishment cultivators be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns?"

Xu Boyang smiled bitterly and shook his head, unable to help but complain:
"The Qingshen Immortal Sect has so many rules and regulations, but I never thought that the most difficult part would be in heaven. There's oppression everywhere! There are cattle and horses everywhere!"

Lei Lingguan laughed:
"You're quite an interesting kid. Okay, enough small talk. From now on, every time you break through a small realm, come here and I'll tell you how to avert the calamity. Don't be lazy, otherwise the calamity will grow more and more, and the small calamity will turn into a big calamity. When the time comes, the heavenly punishment will be sent down, and there will be nothing you can do to avert it. You can only sigh in despair and wait for death!"

Xu Boyang bowed and took his leave: "Thank you for the warning, Lei Lingguan!"

After he walked out of the [Palace of Disaster], he did not continue to go to the other four palaces. Firstly, he had just established his foundation and knew nothing about it. He was not in a hurry to exchange Yin De for it. After all, Yin De seemed to be extremely precious. More than ten thousand spirit stones could only be exchanged for a little over a hundred points.

Secondly, he really had a question that he had been holding in his heart and he couldn't help but express it, so he went down the cloud steps and came to the Daoyan Palace.

"Don't you know how to build your foundation?"

Facing Xu Boyang's inquiry, Wang Lingguan couldn't help but ask a question in return, but seeing that the boy nodded seriously, he felt a little ridiculous. However, he was always serious, and a smile just flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in a flash.

Xu Boyang behaved in a reserved manner, bowed and said:
"I am a dull disciple, and I beg the Spiritual Officer to enlighten me. I accidentally obtained the Fire God's Seal and cultivated this [Nine Purple Separation Fire]. I had heard that building this foundation was extremely difficult and required taking the Fire God's Essence Pill for it to be effective. I never expected that I would be able to build an immortal foundation inexplicably. I am truly confused and bewildered."

"There is no mystery. Everything in the world has its cause and effect..."

Wang Lingguan looked at him calmly, his eyes like the light of the sky and the shadow of the clouds, and then he withdrew them in an instant, as if he had seen through Xu Boyang. Then he said indifferently,

"The reason is simple. You possess the [Purple Star Fate Palace], and someone happened to cast a spell to stir up celestial phenomena, stealing the immortal energy from the Red Sky Heaven. However, this spell seemed to be fleeting, and only a trace of it was taken away."

"Those wisps of immortal energy happened to originate from the stars in the Purple Palace. The immortal energy of the stars was stolen and brought down to the mortal world, becoming like a headless fly, running around in all directions. It discovered the [Purple Palace of Destiny] in your body, and believing itself to be the master, it headed straight for you."

"You're lucky. You happened to be nearby when the immortal energy appeared. Otherwise, this immortal energy doesn't belong to this world. Without a host, it would quickly dissipate and disappear."

"Also, the pharmacology of the Lihuo Shenyuan Pill is actually not complicated. It is to use the elixir to temper your meridians throughout your body, expand your Huangting Qi Sea, break through your own shackles, and allow you to store more spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The spiritual energy will attract each other, and only then can you attract the spirit to become the essence and build the foundation of immortality."

"But all the spiritual energy in this world originates from the Crimson Sky. You have obtained a wisp of immortal energy and integrated it into the Huangting Qi Sea [Nine Purple Fire]. This will inevitably attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that you have cultivated. With more spiritual energy, it will naturally attract the divine essence, thus building the foundation of immortality."

Xu Boyang was stunned for a moment, then recalled Ding Tianshi's words, and suddenly realized. The doubts in his mind were finally resolved.

All the doubts disappeared, and with them came unbearable ecstasy!

Xu Boyang smiled broadly and almost wanted to laugh out loud.

No wonder, this "Lihuo Shenyuan Pill" has been like a huge rock pressing on his heart for the past two years, never relaxing for a moment, like a dark cloud, hanging over his heart at any time.

On the left was a mountain of swords, and on the right was a sea of ​​fire. Seeing that the road was hopeless and the difficulties were so numerous, he almost couldn't breathe.

Now, the road turns and the peaks return to the green layers, all the burdens are relieved and disappeared!

What a great word for "shuang"!
Xu Boyang bid farewell to Wang Lingguan and walked out leisurely!
The five spiritual officials of the Five Directions Palace walked out of the palace gate, looked at Xu Boyang who was gradually disappearing, bowed, and smiled at each other.

A beautiful woman in colorful clothes and with a flowing bun on her head said with a smile:
"This kid is interesting. He's built a foundation for immortality and has so much good karma, but he didn't come to redeem it. He's a good kid who doesn't hesitate to act rashly! It's a pity that he was a bit rude and just left without even saying hello!"

Lei Lingguan laughed:
"Wen Lingguan, this kid is great! I like him!" Another tall, thin old man with gray hair and a Taoist bun rubbed his chin, his eyes flickering as he slowly said:

"He has one or two pretty good magical weapons. If I could exchange a recipe for one from him and find some materials to refine it again, its power could be even higher! There's still room for improvement!"

A kind-looking middle-aged man on the far right said:
"This child also has a Huangting sword technique, but my Taoist sect has tens of thousands of magical instruments and techniques. Living in a chaotic world, how can one sword technique alone be enough? Although sword cultivation is good, it also has its flaws. I have to learn more to prevent danger before it happens. Otherwise, how can I defeat those beasts hiding in the dark and shooting arrows from behind!"

The old man on the far left, with a celestial appearance and white hair and beard, said slowly with disdain:

"A towering building rises from the ground, and now it's just a platform. You all talk at the same time, treating him like a savior. After all, he's just a child. It's too early to discuss his strengths and weaknesses... too early..."

At this moment, Zhao Lingguan, Wang Lingguan, and Ma Lingguan came out of the hall one after another, bowed loudly and said in unison:

"Congratulations to the five brothers for returning!"

…………

Xu Boyang opened his eyes, his eyes gleamed with brilliance, and a flash of purple flame flashed in his eyes!
He found himself sitting upright on the couch, but he noticed that the couch and the ground around him were covered with black dirt. He couldn't help but frown, raised his hands, his eyes shining, and scanned them with his spiritual consciousness. He felt that his five fingers were crystal clear, like fine jade.

He took a light breath and felt the presence of fire between heaven and earth. His spiritual consciousness turned and he suddenly moved more than a hundred feet away. He was aware of everything clearly and was coming and going as fast as lightning and flowing freely.

At this moment, Xu Boyang was really surprised and happy. It seemed that he had indeed successfully established his foundation. He couldn't help but casually snapped his hands, pinched the talisman with his fingers, and created a "Three-in-One Glazed Talisman Array" to block the breath. Then, he imitated Ding Tianshi eight years ago and snapped his fingers!
A flame so thick that it turned purple suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the formation!
[Nine Purple Fire]!
The flames spontaneously danced in the air, not on his palms!

Xu Boyang was overjoyed. He extinguished the flames casually, used a "dust cleansing technique" to clean the surroundings, sat cross-legged in meditation, and used his spiritual consciousness to look inward.

There was chaos in the Huangting Qi Sea, which expanded several times. The purple fire was still burning, and a purple wheel was suspended above it. The wheel was quite strange, like a piece of finely carved jade, warm and smooth, round on the outside and octagonal on the inside, and it was covered with Taoist runes.

At this moment, it is slowly rotating along with the vortex in the Huangting Qi Sea!
"Is this the Dao Foundation Wheel for Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Xu Boyang was secretly frightened and focused on observing his own Dao base roulette. The roulette was not big at the moment, probably not even as big as a fist, but it was crystal clear and sparkling!

The entire roulette wheel is nourished by the purple fire!
Xu Boyang understood what he meant, and the scriptures of "Lihuo Yuqi Xuandao Jing" appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, and he began to practice breathing exercises according to the scriptures.

He knew his own limitations, as he had just been promoted to a foundation-building cultivator. Magical instruments, spells, and tools were only adding to the already icing on the cake, and consolidating his foundation was the most pressing matter. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to visit the spiritual officials of the other four palaces of the [Purple Star Palace of Life]. He wanted to practice quickly to consolidate his foundation.

Fortunately, I have passed the first round of Tianyuan. Tomorrow is the "Tiangang Enlightenment" which has nothing to do with me. The next time I go on stage is the 24-strong arena battle the day after tomorrow, but it may not be my turn the day after tomorrow, after all, there are so many people.

Therefore, Xu Boyang focused on practicing the "Lihuo Yuqi Xuandao Jing" without any distractions.

This practice lasted for a whole day. Xu Boyang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his inner mind became clear. He was slowly drawing out a [Shanyin Night Snow] from the Huangting Qi Sea and trying to place it on the Dao Base Wheel.

After half a day of reading and regulating his breathing, Xu Boyang has basically mastered the breathing rhythm of the foundation-building cultivator. At this moment, he is referring to the scriptures and trying to extract a stream of transformed spiritual energy to try to condense the gaseous prototype of a life-supporting spiritual weapon.

According to the short chapter "Shan Shui Meng Pian" in the "Lihuo Yuqi Xuan Dao Jing", by introducing "Shan Yin Ye Xue" into the body, through cultivation and nurturing, it can eventually condense into a life-supporting magic tool called "Gen Li Xuan Bing Jian".

Of course, this thing can also be refined into a life-saving magic weapon, so this is also the name of the Taoist foundation of the cultivator who mainly practices [Shanyin Yexue].

According to the description in the scriptures, each Dao base built by drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body has its own name, which corresponds exactly to the name of a magic instrument or magic treasure. Xu Boyang also tried to find the name of his own Dao base, but the result was quite surprising. He searched through the entire scripture but could not find the name of the [Nine Purple Fire] Dao base. This made him quite puzzled and felt a little regretful.

Time passed quickly, the moon set and the stars sank, and a night passed in the blink of an eye. He tried to condense it five or six times but failed. [Shanyin Night Snow] would disappear into thin air within a moment on the Dao Base Wheel. He couldn't help but sigh that it seemed that this life-supporting magic weapon was not so easy to condense. Moreover, he cast the spell according to the scriptures and checked it repeatedly, and there was nothing wrong with his method.

I think the Dao base wheel is still being generated in the purple fire, and the flow is not smooth yet. It will take a long time to work on it. In addition, the method of extracting spiritual energy and the control of spiritual consciousness are still unstable. I will practice more in the future, and practice will surely make me proficient. It is estimated that it will be a long and arduous process.

With this thought, Xu Boyang stopped worrying about it. Now that his Dao foundation wheel was unstable, he simply stopped considering the issue of the life-supporting magic weapon. Anyway, this magic weapon could not be refined in a short time. He then concentrated on choosing the foundation-building technique.

There are many foundation-building techniques in the book "Treasure Scroll of Ten Thousand Flowers" that he wrote. Xu Boyang looked through it carefully and picked out a few techniques with less consumption and started practicing them.

Good fortune came unexpectedly, and I was completely unprepared. Now that I have to suddenly build my foundation, there are too many things to consider, so I can only focus on the key points first.

These things have internal and external factors!

For myself, the two sword styles in the foundation-building chapter of the Huangting Sword Technique "Fei Su Liu Chu Jian" can already be practiced. I don't know how powerful they are, but I think they must be strong. However, it is conceivable that practicing them will not be that easy. In addition, the remaining Yin De in the [Zi Wei Ming Palace] can also be exchanged. These two things are quite important.

Now that I have established my foundation, everything should be based on my cultivation during the foundation-building period. However, I cannot lose the means to save my life. I have to exchange some magic tools, techniques, and spells, especially magic tools. I should prepare some more in case they are damaged. Only in this way can I strengthen myself and avoid any shortcomings.

In addition, how to refine one's own natal magic weapon is the most important thing. According to Wang Lingguan, one must first refine seven kinds of auxiliary magic tools, and finally refine one's own natal magic weapon. According to "Shan Shui Meng Pian", after condensing the prototype of the magic weapon, it is necessary to continuously attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense it, and it is also necessary to continuously take spiritual medicines refined from several specific spiritual herbs for nourishment, so that it can be nurtured into shape and finally transformed into a physical entity.

As for spiritual plants, Xu Boyang was completely blind. He had never come into contact with them since he embarked on the path to immortality. Now he had to study them, otherwise he would not recognize these spiritual herbs even if they were right in front of him.

In addition, the cultivation in the foundation-building period requires constantly tempering one's own Dao base wheel and enhancing one's ability to guide and control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This also requires the assistance of elixirs in order to be not inferior to ordinary people. According to the "Lihuo Yuqi Xuandao Jing", a foundation-building elixir called "Liyang Dan" is repeatedly mentioned.

This pill is a kind of medicine that mainly improves the ability of cultivators who have established their foundation to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper the wheel of their Dao foundation. It needs to be taken on time and in the right dosage every month. For cultivators who practice [Lihuo], this thing is indispensable!
The most crucial one is a pill called "Spirit God Pill", which is used to strengthen the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator. After the foundation is established, the spiritual consciousness becomes stronger and stronger, and has the attack function that the Nengyuan cultivator does not have.

A cultivator with a strong enough spiritual consciousness can even destroy the sea of ​​consciousness of others with his spiritual consciousness without any effort, killing them invisibly!
