My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Seven days have passed since the terrifying pill lightning tribulation erupted, and all the cultivators in Phoenix City are searching for the person behind the pill refining.

Meanwhile, Gu Qing, the subject of everyone's discussion, was still sitting cross-legged in the valley guarded by the Phoenix Clan.

Gu Qing closed his eyes tightly, and his body transformed into a yellowish-brown vortex. A terrifying attraction emanated from Gu Qing, refining all the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him into spiritual power.

Although his spiritual power cultivation was still at the Foundation Establishment limit of 1000 points, Gu Qing's spiritual power became increasingly profound, and his whole person exuded an aura as heavy as a mountain.

Its spiritual energy quality is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

Gradually.

Gu Qing began to exude a profound aura of earth attribute. After gaining a deep understanding of the profound mysteries of earth attribute, profound characteristics would gradually appear on his body.

Its spiritual energy is so abundant that many ordinary Golden Core cultivators would admit their inferiority upon seeing it.

"The weight and depth of the earth."

"If one uses earth as a foundation to build an immortal foundation, it will be quite convenient for future cultivation."

As a cultivator at the Purple Mansion Realm, Elder Qingluan could see through the transformation that was taking place in Gu Qing at a glance. Gu Qing was currently awakening his divine foundation.

For this reason, the entire circular valley was heavily guarded by the Phoenix Clan to prevent Gu Qing from being disturbed by the outside world.

Judging from the subtle aura emanating from Gu Qing, it's not hard to tell that the quality of the divine foundation he has awakened this time is not low.

"Azure Phoenix".

Suddenly a voice came from behind. Qingluan turned around and saw that it was Lan Siqi: "Siqi, what are you doing here?"

That's right.

"When we received the mercenaries from the Immortal Kingdom yesterday, several of them claimed to be Gu Qing's friends and even produced evidence that they had participated in the mercenary trials with Gu Qing."

"They want to see Gu Qing, what do you think about this..."

Lan Siqi took out two medals awarded by Xianmu Group as part of the Top Ten Medals. These two medals were from Chen Ang and Jia Meiqian, respectively.

Qingluan took the medal and examined it carefully before returning it to Lan Siqi, saying, "The medal is genuine; it bears the mark of an immortal."

"only……"

Qingluan paused slightly, then frowned and said, "Gu Qing is at a crucial moment in awakening his divine foundation, so it is not advisable to disturb him."

"Let's go see them at the valley entrance!"

After saying this, the two transformed into streaks of light and headed towards the valley entrance.

When the two appeared at the valley entrance, Xue Wuque, who had been calm on the surface, was suddenly startled when he saw Qingluan. The newcomer was actually a Phoenix Clan cultivator at the Purple Mansion Realm.

This level of skill is already the strongest in this world. A hint of awe arose in Xue Wuque's eyes.

The same applies to Jia Meiqian and Chen Ang.

This is not a fairyland; if you are killed by a powerful being here, it will truly be a wasted death.

"Greetings, Senior Qingluan."

The blue phoenix landed on the ground, and Xue Wuque and the other two quickly bowed in greeting.

No need for formalities.

"What brings the three of you to see Gu Qing?"

Qingluan went straight to the point and asked.

This……

Seeing that Elder Qingluan seemed somewhat impatient,

Jia Meiqian and the other two immediately felt a chill run down their spines. As the first person to follow Gu Qing, Jia Meiqian forced himself to speak:

"We dare not hide it from Elder Qingluan. The three of us have come here to ask Elder Gu to help us obtain a piece of phoenix-perching paulownia wood."

According to past practice, at each Phoenix Palace Centennial Celebration, mercenaries from various companies in the Immortal Kingdom, or scions of noble families, who wish to obtain the Phoenix Perching Wutong Wood, must participate in the Nirvana Trial held by the Phoenix Palace.

Only the top 100 in the trial are eligible to obtain the Phoenix Tree.

however.

The cultivators from the Immortal Kingdom who participated in the Nirvana Trial were not just cultivators from 1086 planes.

Therefore, the Nirvana Trial is more intense and bloody than the Bloodline Competition.

After all, people really die when they participate in the Nirvana Trial.

"this one?"

Elder Qingluan was speechless upon hearing this.

He had initially thought it was something important that he absolutely had to see Gu Qing, but it turned out to be just a trivial matter.

"Uh...yes, yes."

Jia immediately became nervous when he said he had no money.

Although Xue Wuque had other ideas, they were only between him and Gu Qing. As long as he could see Gu Qing, he would talk to her in detail. Therefore, he did not make any other requests.

"It's very simple."

"Since you are Gu Qing's good friends, I will give each of you one spot. You don't need to participate in the Nirvana Trial; you can directly trade for the Phoenix Tree at that time."

After speaking, Qingluan gave each of them a trial certificate from Phoenix Palace.

Upon hearing this, Jia Meiqian and Chen Ang immediately showed joy on their faces.

Who would have thought that Gu Qing would have such a big reputation?

The elders of the Phoenix Palace at the Purple Mansion Realm simply allowed them to skip the Nirvana Trial.

"Is there anything else?"

"If not..."

Just as Elder Qingluan was about to drive the three away, a terrifying devouring force suddenly came from the center of the valley. Everyone looked towards the valley in shock and saw that visible spiritual energy was rapidly gathering and forming a vortex of spiritual energy above Gu Qing's head.

All the spiritual energy entered Gu Qing's body as if swallowed by a whale.

"This is!"

Xue Wuque, Jia Meiqian, and Chen Ang also noticed this scene.

at the same time.

Suddenly, three halos of divine power—one purple, one black, and one red—appeared on Gu Qing's body as he sat cross-legged.

As spiritual energy continued to flow into Gu Qing's body, the three divine aura halos grew larger and larger, quickly expanding to a radius of ten miles.

Seeing the halo of supernatural power surrounding Gu Qing, Xue Wuque froze, his heart filled with turmoil.

"The foundation of divine abilities is divided into five grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, and Unranked."

"Gu Qing's Dao Foundation started at the Earth Grade level from the second Dao Foundation, and the third Dao Foundation was even a Heaven Grade Dao Foundation."

"According to the clan's records, if one can forge a profound purple Dao foundation throughout their body, there is a 20% chance of breaking through to the Immortal Realm."

"If one's entire body is forged with a black, earth-grade Dao foundation, there is a 40% chance of breaking through to the Immortal Realm."

"But if it is a Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation, as long as five Heavenly Grade Dao Foundations are condensed, there is a 60% chance of breaking through to the Immortal Realm."

"Gu Qing, he..."

Just as Xue Wuque was shocked, he saw a fourth halo of divine power appear around Gu Qing. The outermost halo of divine power had just manifested as a phantom when it displayed a crimson light.

At this moment, Gu Qing's fourth basic divine power had not yet been fully formed.

"Could it be... that the fourth foundational cultivation is also of the Heavenly Rank?!"

Taking a deep breath, Xue Wuque stared intently into the depths of the valley, wanting to see what kind of supernatural phenomenon Gu Qing was exhibiting.

Normally, supernatural phenomena can reflect the effects of supernatural powers.

but.

Under Elder Qingluan's watchful eye, he dared not use his divine sense to probe the depths of the valley.

"Gu Qing's third and fourth Dao Foundations are both Heaven-grade Dao Foundations. If he continues on this momentum, he is very likely to forge five Heaven-grade Dao Foundations before condensing his Golden Core, and may even ascend to immortality."

"Boom..."

Just as Xue Wuque and the others were marveling at the scene, the sky suddenly darkened.

"This is?"
