Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Chapter 134 Foundation Building

After that, He Nian stayed on the high platform, listening to Tao Lexi introduce him to some of the basic rules and regulations, as well as the benefits and salaries within the Hidden Moon Sect.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators from the other six sects also showed little interest in the subsequent aptitude test.

Even when another wind-elemental cultivator arrived, it didn't cause much of a change in their expressions.

After the Ascension Ceremony concluded, He Nian successfully boarded the spirit boat of the Hidden Moon Sect and flew towards the sect's mountain gate.

After entering the Hidden Moon Sect, Tao Lexi quickly reported He Nian's condition.

He Nian also met a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect and successfully became his disciple.

However, since this early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator didn't have much lifespan left, he didn't have much time to guide He Nian on a regular basis. Instead, he assigned a Golden Core cultivator from another sect to be He Nian's temporary teacher.

He Nian didn't have much of an opinion on this, and he also wanted more freedom, which just happened to fit his current situation perfectly.

He could freely cultivate within the Hidden Moon Sect under the title of a Nascent Soul cultivator's direct disciple.

Even those Golden Core cultivators treated him with great respect.

After becoming an apprentice, He Nian, led by a female Golden Core cultivator, arrived at the Scripture Pavilion within the Hidden Moon Sect to choose a new cultivation technique.

"This place is the core scripture library of my Hidden Moon Sect. Unlike the Transmission Hall, which is used by ordinary disciples to choose cultivation techniques and secret arts, the books collected here are the true core of my Hidden Moon Sect. Even we Golden Core cultivators need to accumulate enough sect contributions to have the opportunity to enter and choose from them."

As the Golden Core cultivator introduced the place to He Nian, she gazed longingly into the depths of the Scripture Pavilion.

"After you enter, be careful not to wander around. With your current disciple token permissions, you can easily open the array formations and restrictions inside the Scripture Pavilion."

If you encounter a situation where you can't open it, it means that those cultivation techniques have major flaws and are not suitable for all cultivators.

The most suitable lightning-based cultivation technique for you is on the third-floor West Bing bookshelf.

He Nian nodded to indicate that he understood, bowed to thank the Golden Core female cultivator, then took out his disciple token, passed through the array restrictions of the Scripture Pavilion, and entered.

After watching He Nian enter, the female cultivator in the Golden Core stage observed for a while before turning away and no longer looking.

This person is none other than Nangong Wan's senior sister in the original work, Nangong Que, who has now reached the late stage of Core Formation.

Among the Golden Core cultivators He Nian met when she became an apprentice, Nangong Wan was not among them. He guessed that Nangong Wan was currently preoccupied with the "Plain Maiden Reincarnation Technique."

He was in seclusion to cultivate due to the side effects.

Upon reaching the third floor of the Sutra Repository, He Nian immediately spotted the "Plain Maiden Reincarnation Technique" displayed prominently in the most conspicuous spot.

o

Of course, the flaws are also very obvious. Once this technique is cultivated to a certain stage, one will experience "reincarnation" and one's cultivation level will drop to the Qi Refining stage. In addition, the difficulty of cultivation is extremely high. Currently, only Nangong Wan in the entire Hidden Moon Sect has successfully cultivated it.

He Nian left after briefly flipping through the "Plain Maiden Reincarnation Technique" using his disciple token.

The "reincarnation" phenomenon in the "Su Nu Lun Hui Gong" is very special and has a very high concept. Cultivators who experience the cycle of life and death and the rise and fall of their cultivation can indeed stimulate many powerful supernatural abilities.

However, it has too many restrictions and is not suitable for He Nian.

It would be good to use it as a reference for creating his own cultivation techniques in the future, but right now, He Nian still needs a lightning-based cultivation technique that can match his Thunder Dragon Yuan Body.

Soon, He Nian arrived at the Xibing area mentioned by Nangong Que.

This book contains many lightning-based cultivation techniques from the Hidden Moon Sect, most of which can be fully cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage. However, within the Hidden Moon Sect, there are very few cultivators who can actually cultivate to the early Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, apart from a few purely lightning-based techniques, most of the remaining lightning-based techniques involve some form of dual cultivation.

After a careful search, He Nian only found two cultivation techniques that combined dual cultivation with lightning-based supernatural abilities.

The Yin-Yang Mysterious Thunder Method and the Myriad Wonders of Dragon and Phoenix Technique.

The two cultivation methods also have subtle differences; the former emphasizes thunder magic, while the latter emphasizes dual cultivation.

Given He Nian's current state, he consciously chose the "Yin Yang Xuan Lei Fa" (a martial arts technique).

He knew his own body very well, with a lifespan almost comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, an incredibly strong physique, and various special powers hidden within his own origin.

It is inaccurate to summarize it solely by the Lei Xiaolong Yuanti.

If one uses dual cultivation as the main practice, then any abnormalities in one's body will be noticed by others during cultivation, which may lead to other troubles.

Compared to this, although the Yin-Yang Profound Thunder Technique is not as profound as the Myriad Wonders Dragon and Phoenix Technique in terms of dual cultivation, it is stronger in the way of thunder magic and is more in line with his current wishes.

Moreover, who says he can't extract the dual cultivation part of the "Myriad Wonders Dragon and Phoenix Technique" and cultivate it separately?

After choosing his cultivation method, He Nian quickly left the Scripture Pavilion and, led by Nangong Que, arrived at his cultivation cave.

The cave dwelling was equipped according to the standards for Golden Core cultivators, so He Nian didn't need to change locations when breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

You can then break through and cultivate in the cave.

Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Pill that belonged to him was delivered to him shortly after he arrived at the cave.

Over the next two weeks, He Nian first completed another change to his main cultivation technique.

As expected, the Yin-Yang Profound Thunder Technique did not disappoint He Nian. The mere Qi Refining stage was enough to enable him to unleash most of the thunder-type abilities shared through the Black Mist Space.

Even stimulated by advanced cultivation techniques, He Nian comprehended a divine power called Thunder Dragon Possession on his own.

This method can greatly increase his strength when he is possessed by the Thunder Dragon, and can even assist him in cultivation and increase his cultivation speed, even in dual cultivation methods.

After his body had adapted to the new cultivation method, He Nian looked at the light blue Foundation Establishment Pill in his palm and fell into deep thought.

Or, how about we try building our foundation without using Foundation Building Pills?

This thought flashed through He Nian's mind and quickly took root and sprouted.

He Nian did not hesitate for long. After putting the Foundation Establishment Pill away again, he began to circulate the Yin-Yang Profound Thunder Technique and started the Foundation Establishment process.

For Qi Refining cultivators, Foundation Establishment involves using Foundation Establishment Pills to transform their gaseous magical power into liquid form, significantly enhancing their life essence.

Because He Nian shared many powers within the black mist space, his control over the special energy within his own body had reached an extremely terrifying level.

If it's just about converting gaseous mana into liquid, he can do it himself without needing a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The facts were exactly as He Nian had intuited.

His entire foundation-building process can be described as smooth sailing, without any obstacles.

He simply transformed the first wisp of gaseous magic power into liquid, and then everything proceeded spontaneously and orderly, like a chain reaction, requiring no further intervention from him.

Just two days later, He Nian successfully established his foundation, and his cultivation level reached the peak of Foundation Establishment in one step.

As for his lifespan, it more than doubled, reaching 1876 years!

All his magical power was transformed into liquid and fell into his dantian. Due to the high degree of condensation of the liquid magical power, it already showed some signs of crystallization and solidification, and the golden core was within his grasp.

However, in order not to attract too much attention, He Nian kept his magical power fluctuations at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
