Brother Who Determines the Fate of the Nation: My Great Emperor's Cultivation Level Exposed by

boom!

Five powerful and ancient golden characters, imbued with supreme Daoist charm, exploded in Su Xuan's mind.

The Five Elements Foundation Building Method.

Su Xuan's divine sense continued to penetrate deeper, and lines of even more profound incantations flooded into his mind.

"In the beginning of chaos, Yin and Yang separated, and the Five Elements were born, forming the foundation of heaven and earth and the origin of all things..."

"To build the supreme path, one must take the five elements as the foundation, draw in the sacred objects of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth into the body, and condense the five elements of the Dao seed. Only then can one transcend the mortal world and glimpse the true face of the Great Dao."

As his understanding deepened, Su Xuan's expression beneath the mask gradually shifted from initial shock to a solemn look.

This technique is considered to be defying the heavens; once mastered, the foundation it forges will far surpass any other method in the world.

Being invincible among those of the same level is just the beginning; killing enemies of higher levels will be as easy as eating and drinking.

However, its requirements are outrageously demanding.

Five Elements Sacred Objects.

Those are legendary creations that only appeared at the beginning of time. Each one is enough to attract countless Nascent Soul and even Divine Transformation stage monsters to fight to the death. They are truly priceless treasures.

No wonder this jade slip is considered a fragment and ended up in such a place; probably no one in countless millennia has been able to gather all the conditions required for Foundation Establishment.

The mysterious merchant in the corner, shrouded in a black robe, saw Su Xuan remain silent for a long time and assumed that he was deterred by the difficulty of the technique, so he smiled helplessly.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, what do you think? This method is indeed excellent, but it's beyond our reach. Perhaps we should look at something else..."

Before he could finish speaking, a heavy bag of spirit stones was thrown onto his empty stall.

Su Xuan didn't say a word, put away the jade slip, and turned to leave.

The mysterious merchant paused for a moment, then weighed the bag in his hand; the amount inside was definitely more than expected.

He looked at Su Xuan's departing figure and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Fellow Daoist, what courage! But this path is difficult to traverse!"

Su Xuan did not pause for a moment and quickly disappeared into the surging crowd in the black market.

He didn't leave, but went straight to the deepest part of the black market.

This is a black market intelligence trading point; you can buy any information you want as long as you can afford the price.

A figure shrouded in gray mist sat behind the counter and spoke.

"What should I buy?"

Su Xuan pushed a storage bag over.

"The whereabouts of the Five Elements Sacred Objects".

The figure in the gray mist remained silent for a moment, seemingly counting the spirit stones in the storage bag.

"A fire-elemental sacred artifact, to be the grand finale item at the Centennial Auction of Tianbao Pavilion in Thunder City one month from now."

It was concise and to the point, with not a single unnecessary word.

Su Xuan nodded, turned and left the dark corner, silently blending into the night and leaving this lawless place.

now!

Inside the Dragon Kingdom's highest command headquarters, the white-haired immortal cultivation "expert" was staring intently at the replay on the screen, his hands trembling slightly.

This expert was someone who had studied tens of thousands of fantasy novels and was urgently summoned by the state... a cultivation expert!

"Five Elements Foundation Building! He actually found the legendary Five Elements Foundation Building Method!"

The general standing beside him looked puzzled.

"Elder Zhang, is this technique very powerful?"

"Amazing?" Old Zhang stood up excitedly, pacing back and forth in the room. "Amazing? This is mythical, legendary! Ordinary cultivators merely draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth into their bodies during Foundation Establishment, transforming it into a vortex of spiritual power in their dantian. But Su Xuan is going to use the five most fundamental powers in the world to create a small world within his own body!"

"If he succeeds, how solid will his foundation be? How pure will his spiritual power be? I... I simply cannot imagine! This is to forge an unparalleled foundation for the Dao, the first of all time!"

Mr. Zhang's analysis was clearly transmitted to the ears of every viewer in China through the live broadcast.

The internet erupted instantly.

"Holy crap! Recreating a small world? I, Su Shen, am defying the heavens!"

"I knew it! How could an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator be worthy of me, God Su? If we're going to do it, let's go for the biggest one!"

"Don't get excited, everyone. Didn't you hear what the experts said? It requires a sacred artifact of the Five Elements. Those things are obviously extraordinary!"

Meanwhile, the overseas live streams were filled with sarcasm and ridicule.

American experts are speaking eloquently on television.

"Oh my God, this Dragon Country man is too arrogant! What kind of precious thing is a sacred artifact? Even the city lord of Thunder City might not possess one. What makes him, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, think he can compete for it? He's courting death!"

A netizen from Japan commented: "Hahaha, that's hilarious! 'Supreme Dao Foundation'? He probably can't even get through the auction house!"

A netizen from the UK commented: "Just wait and see. If he dares to show up at the auction, he'll be crushed to ashes by those truly important figures in the next second."

Inside the forbidden area, the younger sisters also witnessed this scene.

Alice pouted.

"The ambition is considerable, but unfortunately, ambition without the strength to support it is nothing but foolish delusion."

Princess Victoria gently shook her head.

"He was too eager for quick success; one wrong step and he was doomed."

The video on the dome continued playing.

Su Xuan returned to that secluded little courtyard in the West District and pushed open the creaking wooden door.

The stone table and benches in the courtyard are quietly placed, and the rocking chair under the eaves seems to be waiting for the return of old friends.

Without pausing, he went straight into the room, sat cross-legged, and began his seclusion.

He needs to get himself into peak condition within a month.

Su Xuan closed his eyes, focused his mind on his body, and began to guide the spiritual power within his body according to the methods of the Five Elements Foundation Building Method, slowly circulating it along ancient meridians that had never been seen before.

hum!

As the cultivation technique circulated, the surging blood and qi within his body became increasingly condensed, with each drop of blood seemingly containing explosive power.

His incomparably powerful Asura Body resonated strangely with this ancient Foundation Building Technique at this moment.

An irrepressible surge of potential for breakthrough began to erupt within his dantian, as if he were about to break through the shackles of the Qi Refining stage and directly enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

Su Xuan's body trembled slightly as he forcefully suppressed the urge to break through.

No, it's not the right time yet.

Without the Five Elements sacred objects as a foundation, even if he breaks through, it will only be an ordinary Foundation Establishment, which goes against his goal.

What he needs to do is use this month to hone himself to perfection so that he can be in the best possible condition for the auction!

Su Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, clearing away all distracting thoughts, and completely immersed himself in comprehending the "Five Elements Foundation Building Method".
