The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Cui Yi looked around and saw that his nine fellow disciples were still immersed in the rich spiritual energy of the blood pool, cultivating.

Just thinking about what he was going to do next made Cui Yi unable to suppress the corners of his mouth!

"Pagoda of Floating Pagoda, burn your lifespan to deduce the Blood Fiend Devouring Heaven Technique, leaving only one year as a backup!"

The moment the command was given, the Pagoda, which had just fallen silent, moved again, and most of the life force within Cui Yi's body was drained away!

A strong sense of weakness washed over Cui Yi, making his eyelids droop. He could only stay awake by biting his tongue.

This simulation is completely different from the previous ones!

Cui Yi did not enter the space of the Floating Pagoda, but instead sat cross-legged on the stone platform of the Blood Pool to perform deductions.

His body was currently serving as a conduit connecting to the spiritual energy of the blood pool.

In the past, simulations were performed inside the pagoda because there was no safe environment, and the difference between being inside and outside was not significant.

Considering various factors, Cui Yi would always choose to cultivate in the Floating Pagoda.

But this time it's different.

There are only ten people around the Thousand-Year Blood Pool, including myself, and the other nine pose no threat to me!

Cui Yi was confident that even if these nine people were just practicing, they might not be a match for him alone!

Cui Yi possessed all three of the most favorable elements: opportune timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships!

Under the deduction of the Floating Pagoda, the Blood Fiend Devouring Heaven Technique began to frantically devour spiritual energy!

The source from which it draws spiritual energy is the Thousand-Year Blood Pool, which is directly connected to Cui Yi's body!

Om-! ! !

Centered on the stone platform where Cui Yi was sitting, an incredibly terrifying vortex of spiritual energy suddenly formed!

The thick spiritual liquid in the blood pool seemed to be summoned by the supreme being, and surged wildly towards Cui Yi!

The spiritual energy that was originally evenly distributed throughout the pool was now forcibly seized by a tyrannical suction force, forming a visible dark red surge of spiritual energy that continuously poured into Cui Yi's body!

Cui Yi's body was like a bottomless pit, accepting everything and devouring it wildly.

The level of the spiritual liquid in the blood pool began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The blood pool's spiritual energy, which was originally enough to support ten people cultivating for three days without much consumption, quickly became thin under Cui Yi's predatory devouring. Nearly half of the spiritual energy reserves were absorbed by him alone in a short period of time!

Inside the Floating Pagoda, Erdan, who had been lazily dozing beside the pile of spirit stones, was also awakened by the pure spiritual energy that seeped in through Cui Yi's body.

The little guy's dragon eyes widened instantly. Although it was still a child, the instinct ingrained in its blood told it that this was a feast that was countless times more delicious than a low-grade spirit stone!

"Whoa—!"

Erdan let out an excited groan and frantically scratched at the barrier of the Floating Pagoda space with its little paws, conveying its strong desire to Cui Yi.

Everything inside the pagoda was under his perception, so Cui Yi immediately noticed Erdan's urgency.

"Want to get out?"

"Waaaaah!"

Erdan nodded vigorously, his eyes shining even brighter.

"Fine, today we'll squeeze every last drop of value out of this blood pool!"

Cui Yi chuckled. Rather than letting the other nine people absorb this blood pool, it would be better to let this little guy benefit from it.

Immediately, a thought flashed through his mind, and a tiny spatial rift quietly opened beside the blood pool.

The next moment, a golden light flashed, and Erdan's small figure appeared at the edge of the blood pool.

It seemed completely unaffected by the dense aura of bloodlust, instead taking a deep, blissful breath before letting out a cheer and rushing to Cui Yi's side, opening its little mouth to join the ranks of those devouring spiritual energy!

The true dragon bloodline's talent for absorbing spiritual energy was already terrifying, and with Erdan joining, the suction power immediately increased by several times!

It was like another small black hole, complementing the spiritual energy vortex formed by Cui Yi, greedily sucking up the essence of the blood pool, like two gluttonous beasts, plundering without any scruples!

Originally, after Cui Yi began to devour the spiritual energy, the other nine people were still able to barely get about 50% of it.

However, with the addition of Erdan, this ratio was further and ruthlessly compressed.

With Cui Yi and Erdan working together, the two of them, one man and one dragon, almost monopolized more than 70% of the spiritual energy supply in the entire blood pool!

The remaining meager 30% was then painstakingly divided among the other nine people.

However, everyone was in a state of deep seclusion. Once this rare and precious state was broken, it would be almost impossible to immerse oneself in it again.

Because of this, not a single person opened their eyes to see what was happening around them; they simply cursed inwardly at how terrifying that bastard's cultivation speed was.

With his unrestrained and voracious appetite, Cui Yi's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds!

After the simulation ended, Cui Yi's clear late-stage Foundation Establishment fluctuations disappeared, replaced by a peculiar state of profound and unwavering foundation!

Cui Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, moved slightly, but his aura quickly receded like the tide.

The previously clear fluctuations of true energy disappeared, replaced by a peculiar state that was difficult to describe.

He did not break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm; instead, he remained here.

Cui Yi could feel that his realm had not fallen, but rather was a kind of perfection, as if he had cultivated the entire Foundation Establishment realm to its limit but had not broken through!

It's as if the body has transformed into a piece of naturally formed jade, with a foundation so solid and powerful that it's breathtaking!

Cui Yi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with inner light, and a deep rumble like a rushing river came from his dantian, a clear sign that his true qi was at its peak!

He then stood up and stretched his limbs briefly.

Crackling sounds...

Glug...

A series of deep and resonant strange noises suddenly came from inside his body!

This is not just the sound of bones rubbing together, but the echo of pure and powerful true energy flowing and surging in the meridians!

The sound of blood flowing could be clearly heard, and every bone seemed to have been forged and tempered, containing explosive power, yet perfectly restrained!

This is clearly a sign that both the physical body and true energy have reached the limit of their current realm, and are so full that they are almost overflowing!

"You actually have the opportunity to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment?"

Xi Yue's cool voice rang in Cui Yi's mind, with a hint of surprise in it.

"Senior, what is the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment?"

Cui Yi's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately inquired with his divine sense.

In his memory and extensive knowledge, the cultivation world has always divided the Foundation Establishment Realm into only four sub-levels: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage.

After reaching the peak, one senses the bottleneck and attempts to break through to the Core Formation Realm by channeling spiritual energy.

Neither the original owner's memories nor his own understanding of cultivation over the past few days had he ever heard of the concept of "Great Perfection".

Xi Yue seemed to pause for a moment, as if organizing her thoughts in a way that Cui Yi could understand, before patiently explaining:

"The Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment is a realm that not everyone can reach. In many places where the tradition has been severed or where knowledge is limited, it has been regarded as a legend."

"It means you've unlocked the theoretically perfect potential of the Foundation Establishment stage!"
