After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

next moment--

The already surging spiritual energy within Lin Fengmian's body exploded completely!

"Boom!"

The spiritual energy was like a vast ocean, stirring up huge waves within his body!

Countless streams of spiritual energy surged into the dantian, preparing for the final liquefaction of spiritual energy!

at the same time--

Outside the cave, above the sky.

A massive vortex of spiritual energy is slowly taking shape!

At first, the vortex was only the size of a palm and was inconspicuous.

But as the spiritual energy within Lin Fengmian's body began to circulate wildly, the vortex also began to expand rapidly!

It's getting bigger and bigger!

Faster and faster!

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge vortex, dozens of feet in diameter, that enveloped the cave!

The vortex spun slowly, radiating a chilling pressure!

Within a radius of several miles, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, as if some enormous object had blocked out the sun!

"Who is undergoing tribulation here?!"

A rogue cultivator who was hunting demonic beasts in the nearby mountains suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with shock.

"When I was building my foundation, I wasn't even half the size of this vortex!"

He murmured to himself, deeply shaken.

Many independent cultivators who made a living by hunting monsters in the vicinity also noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky.

"This is... someone has achieved Foundation Establishment?!"

"What a magnificent sight! This vortex of spiritual energy is more than twice the size of what an ordinary cultivator would be at the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"I wonder which senior cultivator has established their foundation here!"

"If only I could reach the Foundation Establishment stage! I wouldn't have to come to this wretched place every day to hunt monsters and earn those meager spirit stones!"

"Grandpa, what's that?"

A little girl with her hair in a topknot pointed at the huge vortex in the sky and asked curiously.

The old man beside her raised his head, a complex look flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

"That's someone building a foundation."

The old man spoke softly, his tone full of emotion and longing.

If I had been more willing to work hard when I was younger, could I have also formed a foundation for my Dao?

Unlike now, when one's lifespan is nearing its end and one can only place their hopes on their offspring.

……

Above the mountains and forests.

Ye Fan was searching around in frustration.

"Damn it, this forest is so big, where am I supposed to find it?"

He grumbled and cursed, his heart filled with impatience.

At that very moment—

In the sky, a massive vortex of spiritual energy suddenly formed!

Ye Fan looked up and frowned.

"Has someone broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage? And made such a big commotion?"

He curled his lip, his face showing disdain.

"If you've made a breakthrough, why make such a big fuss? What's with the showing off?"

He snorted and continued his aimless search.

In his mind, Lin Fengmian was nothing more than a useless furnace vessel who lived off women; how could he possibly have achieved Foundation Establishment?

……

Inside the cave.

Lin Fengmian stared nervously at his dantian.

At this moment, a tremendous change is taking place in his dantian!

Countless streams of spiritual energy, like rivers flowing into the sea, surged wildly into his dantian, and under the guidance of his divine sense, began to condense into strands of Dao foundation!

The foundation was built up layer by layer!

The whole process went extremely smoothly, not only quickly but also steadily!

Soon, the rudimentary form of the Dao Foundation was formed and continued to grow!

I do not know how long it has been

The height of that foundation has surpassed the level that most Foundation Establishment cultivators can reach!

Moreover, the surface of the foundation is as smooth as jade, without a single impurity!

This is—the flawless foundation of the Dao!

In any sect, he would be a genius worthy of being nurtured!

But Lin Fengmian was not satisfied.

While a flawless foundation is excellent, it is not his ultimate goal!

With a thought, he consumed the last spiritual item he needed for the Foundation Establishment stage of magical power!

The spiritual substance entered the stomach and instantly transformed into a powerful medicinal force, which merged into the dantian!

"Boom!"

The vortex of spiritual energy in the sky suddenly accelerated its rotation!

A tremendous suction force came!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several miles was drawn in by this suction force and surged wildly into Lin Fengmian's body!

The foundation of Dao within the dantian began its final sprint!

layer!

Two layers!

Three floors!

……

His Dao Foundation rapidly increased, soon reaching the top of his Dantian!

But Lin Fengmian frowned.

He had absorbed almost all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him!

The rate at which the foundation of the Dao is rising has clearly slowed down!

So close!

A ruthless glint flashed in Lin Fengmian's eyes.

He suddenly waved his hand!

"Splash—"

A pile of mid-grade spirit stones flew out of his storage bag and were neatly stacked around him!

It's a full two hundred yuan!

This is all the wealth that Lin Fengmian had painstakingly accumulated!

But now, I can't worry about that anymore!

With a thought, two hundred mid-grade spirit stones exploded simultaneously, transforming into the purest spiritual energy that surged wildly into his body!

With the replenishment of this massive spiritual energy, the Dao Foundation began to rise once again!

an inch!

Two inches!

Three inches!

……

finally--

The foundation of his Dao has reached the limit of his dantian!

It came to a steady stop there!

Lin Fengmian knew in his heart that this was his limit.

Next, we need to wait for the foundation to be completely stable and take shape!

The basic form of the Dao Foundation has been established. The next step is the most crucial one – the condensation of the Dao Foundation!

Lin Fengmian dared not relax in the slightest.

He knew perfectly well that the quality of the foundation depended not only on its height, but also on the degree of perfection of its cohesion.

Many cultivators, despite building a very high foundation for their cultivation, fail at the last moment, their foundation shattered, and their path to immortality destroyed.

This is why, in the world of cultivation, only one in ten thousand can achieve a perfect foundation for the Dao.

This requires not only exceptional talent and opportunity, but also a resilient mind and composure in the face of danger.

Lin Fengmian held his breath and stared intently at the towering Dao Foundation in his dantian.

At this moment, the Dao Foundation is condensing into substance layer by layer, starting from the bottom.

The crystalline spiritual light flowed slowly along the patterns of the Dao Foundation. Wherever it passed, the originally illusory Dao Foundation gradually solidified, radiating a warm and jade-like luster.

Because the foundation of the Dao is built so high, the process of condensation is exceptionally slow.

Every inch of solidification requires a large amount of spiritual energy and effort.

Lin Fengmian dared not be distracted, his divine sense firmly locked onto his Dao Foundation, ready to deal with any unexpected events at any time.

Time passed by, second by second.

I don't know how much time passed—

The foundation of the Dao has finally been fully formed!

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

Within his dantian, the pale yellow spiritual energy that had been dormant in his body after spending the night with that Core Formation female cultivator in the secret realm suddenly became restless!

To Lin Fengmian's astonishment, the pale yellow spiritual energy seemed to be summoned and suddenly rushed into the newly formed Dao Foundation!

"boom--"

The entire Dao Foundation trembled slightly, and its originally smooth, jade-like white color began to tinge with a faint golden hue!

However, this is not the end!

Almost at the same instant, another stream of spiritual energy also awakened from the depths of the dantian!

That was the spiritual energy that had inexplicably appeared in his body after he and Xiao Xiyue... That spiritual energy had been lying dormant for so long that Lin Fengmian had almost forgotten its existence.

At this moment, it seemed to be awakened by something, and at the last moment before the foundation was about to close, it rushed into it!
