"Hmm, you know, Mom and Dad aren't young anymore. How can you be at peace watching them get older every day?!"
Hongli jumped onto the bed, sat cross-legged, crossed her arms over her chest, and asked Heiyang's soul a question.
"As people get older, what if they get sick or fall down? What are you going to do then?"
What if we have children, but they die of old age before us? ...cough cough..."
As soon as Hongli spoke, she realized something was wrong. She paused for a moment, lowered her head, her face slowly turning red, and muttered softly, "So tell me, what should we do..."
"I don't want children anymore!"
"good idea!"
Hei Yang: "..."
Hongli: "..."
"Ahem, having children is still a long way off. We'll talk about it when the time comes. Let nature take its course..."
Hei Yang's face flushed slightly, and he steered the conversation back on track: "Let's continue talking about cultivation!"
"Okay, let nature take its course!"
Hongli nodded heavily, selectively forgetting what had just happened: "Let's talk about cultivation!"
"Um, let's present the facts and reason with each other."
Hei Yang held up a finger: "We're currently at the second level of Foundation Establishment. To reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, we need to break through seven minor realms, and then break through again to reach the Golden Core realm. Is that alright with me?"
"Hmm, please continue."
"Let's leave the breakthrough to a higher realm for now, since that's another level of difficulty. We'll talk about it later."
Hei Yang continued, "So, it's alright for the two of us to divide up these seven minor realms first, right?"
"Why can't you solve this by yourself?"
Hongli spoke without hesitation.
"A grand adventure..."
"Because we are one!"
Hong Li spoke with righteous indignation!
"so……"
Hongli asked curiously, "How are you going to distribute these seven? One for me, one for you, one for you, one for you, one for you, one for you... cough cough, let's talk this out, don't touch the cards!"
"Ugh……"
Hei Yang sighed, ignoring Hong Li's interruption: "I think we should group the Foundation Establishment Level 3 to 6 into groups of four, and the Foundation Establishment Level 7 to 9 into groups of three."
"Because the first four are definitely easier to cultivate than the last three, I've allocated them this way. What do you think?"
"Hmm, that's interesting, and it makes sense."
Hongli nodded thoughtfully: "So, are you planning to be in front or behind?"
"I'm free to do it."
Hei Yang spread his hands: "You decide, and you're not allowed to pass the problem back to me anymore."
"Then I'll go first."
Hongli thought for a moment and then said, "You can stay behind me."
"So efficient? That's not like you!"
"Anyway, we're locked down and can't get out."
Hong Li pouted: "If I had chosen the latter option, maybe the mountain wouldn't have been closed by then, wouldn't I have lost out?"
"well said."
Hei Yang gave a thumbs up: "Let's begin!"
"Huh? Now?"
"if not?"
Hei Yang retorted, "Don't give me any of that 'tomorrow and tomorrow' nonsense!"
"Tch, how could that be? Would I be that kind of person?"
Hongli, her thoughts exposed, couldn't help but snort coldly: "Don't think everyone is as lazy as you, okay? I always finish what I need to do today today. If I say I'm going to start cultivating, I start immediately. I never procrastinate!"
"Yes, I believe it."
"I don't care whether you believe me or not, I'm going to start cultivating now. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up!"
"No, don't hang up."
Hei Yang stretched out his hand and calmly stopped him, saying, "Keep the video on and I'll watch you cultivate. No whispering, no eating, no sleeping, no peeking at comics, and no daydreaming."
"???"
Hong Li pointed to herself, looking displeased: "Don't you believe me?"
"I trusted you too much."
Hei Yang snorted coldly: "That's why we need to supervise."
Hongli: "..."
"No, please."
Hongli chuckled twice: "Um, I'll get shy if you watch me cultivate!"
Hei Yang remained expressionless and silent.
"Tch, let me show you, really, there's absolutely no trust between couples."
Hong Li muttered something under her breath, sighed helplessly, and began to circulate her cultivation technique.
The Foundation Establishment stage is a completely new world compared to the Qi Refining stage.
From the Qi Refining stage, cultivators begin to consciously and actively absorb and exhale spiritual energy, and their lifespan is extended accordingly. They are able to use magic power in a rudimentary way and perform some minor spells such as summoning water and fire. In the eyes of mortals, they are already immortals.
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one officially enters the realm of supernatural powers.
So-called supernatural powers are those that are truly extraordinary and transcend common sense.
For example, what a Qi Refining cultivator can do by summoning scorching flames with magic, an ordinary person can do by striking a match.
As for things like Hong Li using the Fire Immortal's supernatural powers to build wings for Xiao Huo, mortals couldn't do even after lighting hundreds of boxes of matches.
Not to mention, the Fire Fairy also has multiple effects such as defense, recovery, and attack, which are far superior to those minor spells.
The levels of supernatural powers range from high to low: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Even a common Yellow-level supernatural power can be easily broken down into many smaller spells.
However, it is extremely difficult to condense supernatural powers using minor spells. In this regard, Huang Dou, who is still in prison, is more qualified to speak on this matter.
After nine levels of body tempering, one eats and drinks well, takes medicinal baths and practices martial arts, which strengthens the muscles and bones. Then, one absorbs and exhales spiritual energy to refine back to the innate state and enter the Dao.
The nine levels of Qi Refining involve innate spiritual energy, innate true energy, and innate protective energy, culminating in the condensation of supernatural powers and the establishment of a foundation for cultivation.
After establishing one's supernatural powers and entering the Foundation Building stage, this realm can be abstractly viewed as building a nine-story tower.
The first level of the tower serves as the foundation, and its importance surpasses that of the other levels. Generally speaking, the more solid the foundation, the smoother the cultivator's progress will be, as it determines the lower limit.
For cultivators like Huang Dou, who believe "foundation building is enough, we'll talk about it later," the quality of their foundation is irrelevant; they would be extremely grateful if they could even establish one.
Ambitious young people like Hei Xiaolong usually cultivate a high-level supernatural power as their foundation.
After the foundation is laid, for example, Hei Xiaolong's Earth-level Divine Power, Ice River Heavy Water, can be further developed, and a second layer, a third layer, etc. can be built on top of it...
Even if one day Hei Xiaolong were to advance to the Golden Core stage and begin to comprehend the laws, his comprehension of the laws would revolve around the supernatural power of glacial heavy water.
Therefore, it is said that a cultivator's future fighting style can be seen from the foundational divine abilities he develops during the Foundation Establishment stage.
Hong Li and Hei Yang's situation is quite special. Their foundational divine power is Nirvana, which is an advancement from an Earth-level divine power. It is speculated that it is at least a Heaven-level divine power.
Logically speaking, their subsequent cultivation should have focused on building a foundation for Nirvana supernatural powers. However, their second level of foundation building was another supernatural power, which, judging by appearances, was at least a Heavenly level supernatural power...
So, Hong Li was dumbfounded. Which supernatural power should she focus on for her future cultivation?
Supernatural Power: Nirvana
Quality: purple
Effect: Condenses a natal flame. As long as the flame remains burning, no matter how severe the injury, it can be healed by burning and consuming spiritual energy!
Synopsis: Rumor has it that once one's lifespan is exhausted, one can refresh and reset their lifespan by burning away their natal flame, thus gaining another lifetime for free.
However, some people say that it is a rumor, but no one has come forward to refute it yet!
Supernatural Power: The Other Shore
Quality: purple
Effect: Connects Yin and Yang, transcends life and death, allows the souls of the dead to return to the world of the living, and guides the souls of the living into annihilation!
Synopsis: Do you want to find the spirits of those famous figures from history books?
Sadly, in the realm of wandering where there is no reincarnation, their souls may have already vanished into the world...
Meng Po's message: Do not abuse this method, lest it cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang.
