Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Around the alchemy room, countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth transformed into vortexes, surging into a small point within the alchemy room—Song Daoxuan's dantian.

The spiritual energy is constantly being squeezed into purer spiritual power, and then the process repeats itself endlessly.

The path to foundation building is divided into three perilous passes.

The first is Qi and Blood, the second is Magic Power, and the third is Primordial Spirit.

This first hurdle of qi and blood cannot be overcome by cultivators who are not of strong constitution and abundant qi and blood.

Therefore, older cultivators with depleted qi and blood are even less able to break through this barrier.

In fact, regardless of the depletion of qi and blood, many cultivators who fail to establish their foundation also fall at this stage.

Therefore, the probability of a cultivator achieving Foundation Establishment after the age of sixty is almost zero.

The key to magical power is unity. If one has four spiritual roots, then the four spiritual powers must be completely balanced. If one has five spiritual roots, then the five spiritual powers must be balanced according to the five elements.

The fewer spiritual roots one has, the better one's aptitude. Therefore, some cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots only have one type of spiritual power in their bodies, making it easy for them to pass this test.

On the contrary, the worse one's spiritual root aptitude, the more complicated the process of overcoming the mana barrier becomes, and ultimately, the depletion of mana leads to failure in foundation building, which is a common occurrence.

As for the final primordial spirit test, Song Daoxuan's spiritual sense was naturally far superior to that of other cultivators of the same level. If he failed to pass this test, he would be unworthy of his identity as a person who had been reborn twice.

Song Daoxuan possessed extraordinary perseverance, so much so that he easily passed the first hurdle.

However, although his aptitude was enhanced by Taiyin Hualu, his cultivation speed was still comparable to that of a person with four spiritual roots.

Therefore, it was still very difficult for Song Daoxuan to get through this trial. He was trapped in this trial and used up a total of five Foundation Establishment Pills.

Having barely passed the second hurdle, he took another Foundation Building Pill for the third.

At this point, Song Daoxuan had only one Foundation Establishment Pill left.

"This foundation-building attempt must succeed; failure is not an option. Otherwise, the chances of succeeding a second time will be extremely slim."

If other cultivators witnessed such a scene, they would undoubtedly be astonished, since no one in the cultivation world had ever prepared so many Foundation Establishment Pills for Foundation Establishment.

What Song Daoxuan didn't know was that while he was worrying about whether he could successfully establish his foundation, his success rate had already reached 90% thanks to the accumulation of so many Foundation Establishment Pills.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Daoxuan opened his eyes. The vortex of spiritual energy transformed into powerful spiritual energy, and his divine sense gradually grew stronger.

Then countless black grime flowed out from the pores, and a wisp of misty immortal energy enveloped it, only dissipating after a long time.

"The Foundation Establishment is finally complete. Eight out of nine Foundation Establishment Pills were used. It's still a bit risky; there's still a chance of failure!"

Once he successfully established his foundation, his lifespan increased to two hundred years, and his path of cultivation truly began to take off.

Then Song Daoxuan tested his divine sense power.

Generally speaking, the limit of a cultivator at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage is twenty feet.

However, once one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, from the initial stage to the completion of Foundation Establishment, one's spiritual sense can increase from fifty feet to one hundred and fifty feet.

One hundred and fifty feet is the limit for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Song Daoxuan tested his current spiritual power, which was about eighty feet.

This far surpasses the spiritual power of a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment and is approaching that of a cultivator in the middle stages of Foundation Establishment.

His total mana surpasses that of most early-stage peak cultivators, but it is still inferior to the mana of a true mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This foundation building process took almost three months from start to finish.

Song Daoxuan walked out of the Earth Fire Alchemy Chamber with a smile on his face.

As soon as he stepped out, the old man with the goatee stared at Song Daoxuan in astonishment.

Then he bowed and cupped his hands towards Song Daoxuan, saying, "Congratulations, Senior, on establishing your immortal foundation! From now on, you will embark on the path of immortality and enjoy boundless blessings and longevity!"

"I just realized that this breakthrough actually broke the breathing concealment technique of the Turtle Breathing Technique, but the old man's words are quite pleasing to the ear!"

"You certainly know how to talk!" Song Daoxuan flicked his sleeve slightly, and tossed several bottles of pills to the old man with the goatee.

Then the old man with the goatee was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Song Daoxuan, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After Song Daoxuan left the place, he activated the Turtle Breath Technique, a breathing technique he had comprehended.

He once again suppressed his profound early Foundation Establishment cultivation to the level of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The moment he stepped out of Yunmeng Market.

Countless divine senses swept over, emanating a chilling aura.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan, how have you been?" As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Shao and Pei Qin, two cultivators at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage, surrounded him with the other four cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Duan, Fellow Daoist Pei, I am but a minor cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. What do you intend to do to me, Song Daoxuan, by bringing so many cultivators with you?" Song Daoxuan raised his eyes, displaying an extremely timid expression.

Duan Shao and Pei Qin laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Fellow Daoist Xuan, stop pretending. You're just a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Tenth Level of Qi Refining, and you're getting addicted to acting like a low-level cultivator. We won't waste any more words. Hand over your storage bag today, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"What if I don't hand it over?" Song Daoxuan frowned, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Then die! Kill him! We outnumber you, don't hold back!"

Seeing Song Daoxuan's blatant disrespect, the two cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining didn't waste any words and, together with the other cultivators, unleashed their respective magical artifacts and charged towards Song Daoxuan.

Upon seeing this, Song Daoxuan, dressed in a green robe and bamboo hat, moved his mind and waved his hand, unleashing three dark green flying blades that seemed to be full of vitality.

Under the control of the Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense and magical power, it shot out in succession towards the three cultivators present.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

As the sound of something breaking through the air rang out, three cultivators at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage fell to the ground.

Duan Shao and Pei Qin were terrified by what they saw. What was going on? The speed at which this magical artifact was moving was not what a Qi Refining stage cultivator should be able to do.

"You! What is your cultivation level?" In their panic, the two grabbed their respective magical artifacts, and three people beside them instantly collapsed. They looked at the man in the green robe and bamboo hat with some wariness.

"Foundation Establishment stage!" Song Daoxuan slowly uttered these three words.

"Run!" Upon hearing these three words, the two remained relatively calm and quickly raised their feet, preparing to flee the place.

"Now you're thinking of running away? Isn't it too late? I, Song, won't give you that chance!" A chilling divine sense transmission came from behind the two men, causing them to freeze instantly.
