Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Only after that voice fell did Jiang Chuan finally understand the weight of Bai Qiuhan's words.

Reincarnation and rebirth.

That's a privilege reserved for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

When a cultivator dies, their cultivation vanishes. Only a True Person who has attained the Foundation Establishment of the Dao can be reborn and live another life with a wisp of their immortal soul.

But Bai Qiuhan, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, has also entered the cycle of reincarnation!?

As Jiang Chuan gazed at the enormous head slowly sinking back into the sea of ​​clouds, a storm raged within him.

What is the origin of this ancestor, that he could send a living person directly into the cycle of reincarnation out of thin air?!

So this is the true essence of Fushou Mountain.

What a fine Bai Qiuhan!

Even in such a hopeless situation, he still managed to leave himself a way out!

Just as Jiang Chuan was in shock, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky and hovered before him.

Jiang Chuan was taken aback.

Within that radiant light was an object, dazzling and clearly extraordinary.

The reward for alchemy.

He understood almost instantly that this was the generous gift that Bai Qiuhan had personally promised earlier.

Jiang Chuan instinctively reached out to take it.

But the moment he raised his hand, the surrounding space suddenly froze!

Two figures had quietly appeared beside him at some point.

The two figures were ethereal and blurry, shrouded in layers of divine light, making it impossible to see their faces or sense any fluctuations in their aura.

But Jiang Chuan felt an uncontrollable tremor rise from the deepest part of his soul.

real person.

These two people were none other than the two True Immortals who had just cast Bai Qiuhan into an abyss of no return, separated by cause and effect!

Jiang Chuan stood frozen in place, unable to move even a finger.

The two real people never even glanced at him from beginning to end.

It was as if he were just an ant on the roadside, not even worthy of their attention.

"This boy does bear some resemblance to me from back in the day."

One of the real people suddenly spoke, his voice indifferent, as if talking to himself, "He has everything: temperament, scheming, and courage."

"If I can find his reincarnation one day, I wouldn't mind being his protector in this life."

"snort!"

Another voice rang out, clear and cold as frost; it was none other than the Crimson Moon Immortal.

She ignored the other person's comment and coldly said, "If a World Treasure can't be brought into reincarnation, that little beast must have hidden it somewhere!"

As soon as the words fell, the gazes of the two masters almost simultaneously landed on the radiant garment in front of Jiang Chuan.

As the Crimson Moon Immortal raised her hand, the radiant light fell into her palm.

She scanned it with her divine sense, and after a moment, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly: "It's just an ordinary item."

After saying that, she gave a slight, self-deprecating smile.

Such a precious item as the Realm Treasure is coveted even by True Immortals. Since Bai Qiuhan has hidden it away, he must be saving it for his reincarnated self to use for cultivation. How could he be willing to give it away to others?

The two immortals exchanged a few more words through divine thought.

Then, just as they had come, they vanished without a sound from the spot.

Space begins to flow again.

Jiang Chuan staggered, then quickly regained his footing, only to realize that his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

He was panting heavily, his face filled with horror.

From beginning to end, those two real people didn't even give him a second glance.

But it was this feeling of being completely ignored that made him even more frightened than Bai Qiuhan's scheming!

In the presence of a true master, even if he had reached the pinnacle of Qi Refining and cultivated the second-grade, second-level [Furnace Qi], he was still not even worth an ant!

Jiang Chuan slowly raised his head, looked at the gradually calming sea of ​​clouds, then looked down at the streak of light hanging in front of him, and fell into a long silence.

World Treasure...

This was the second time he had heard the name of this thing from the mouth of the Crimson Moon True Man.

Therefore, it seems that the reason Bai Qiuhan attracted the attention of the two True Immortals was precisely because of this World Treasure.

If something can attract the greed of a true person, it must be a rare and precious treasure.

Thinking of this, a chill instantly crept up his spine again.

wrong!

Those two real people weren't unaware of their presence!

On the contrary, as the last person Bai Qiuhan had contact with, he was probably already considered the prime suspect!

Although he had no idea what the treasure looked like or where it was hidden.

But those two real people would never let go of his only clue!

He suddenly realized what was going on.

"That son of a bitch..."

Jiang Chuan's face immediately darkened.

At this moment, he finally understood that Bai Qiuhan, that bastard, hadn't forgotten to trick him before entering reincarnation!

He deliberately left behind this so-called "alchemy reward" because he had calculated that the two True Immortals would target him, thus diverting attention for his reincarnation and cultivation!

"What a brilliant scheme... truly a brilliant scheme."

Jiang Chuan cursed through gritted teeth, but could only helplessly admit it.

After all, Bai Qiuhan has already fallen into the cycle of reincarnation. Even if he wanted to take revenge, where could he find him?

By now.

Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name...

Since there's no way to avoid it, why not see what Bai Qiuhan has left for him?

Jiang Chuan raised his hand and drew the radiant light hanging in front of him into his palm.

The radiance faded, revealing something inside.

It was a pure white pearl, with what appeared to be countless galaxies flowing within it.

It was the very same Fortune Pearl that Bai Qiuhan had just taken out.

Jiang Chuan probed into it with his divine sense, and after a moment, his eyes lit up slightly.

This item is actually a magical artifact that can accumulate good fortune!

Normally, it will absorb the wandering fortune between heaven and earth on its own, accumulating it little by little. Once it has accumulated to a certain extent, it can release it all at once.

At the moment of release, heaven and earth favor him, and fortune bestows upon him, which can forcefully increase his chances of success when doing something!

Just now, the batch of Xuan Dan that was about to be destroyed was "corrected" by this magic treasure of fortune.

"This stuff is actually not bad..."

Jiang Chuan's terrible mood finally eased a little.

This item isn't exceptionally good, but it's certainly not bad either.

It might not catch the eye of the two masters, but to him it was an absolute treasure.

"Bai Qiuhan, Bai Qiuhan..."

Jiang Chuan tucked the precious pearl into his sleeve, looked up at the sea of ​​clouds that had long since returned to calm, and murmured to himself:

"You'd better pray that your reincarnation doesn't fall into my hands, otherwise, my methods will be far more cruel than those two real people!"

……

Jiang Chuan did not return to the mountaintop, but instead quickly strode down the mountain along the path he had come from.

His trip to Fushou Mountain was almost fruitless and fraught with danger.

Bai Qiuhan entered the cycle of reincarnation, where two True Immortals were eyeing him covetously, while the true World Treasure remained nowhere to be found.

This place is not suitable for lingering.

Just as he was about to step out of the mountain gate, a familiar figure staggered out from around the corner of the mountain path.

Chang Yuexian.

She still looked disheveled, but her breathing was much calmer than before.

Jiang Chuan paused in his steps.

Their eyes met briefly in the air, and neither of them spoke.

Jiang Chuan glanced at her and immediately saw through the situation. Bai Qiuhan had fallen into the cycle of reincarnation, and she ultimately failed to reclaim her Ding Fire Qi.

Although, it was replaced with a second-grade, third-level Gui Water Qi.

On the surface, it seemed like a blessing in disguise for her.

After all, the foundation of one's path is the most difficult to cultivate.

Rather than a cultivation method.

If she simply switches to a different water-based cultivation technique and secludes herself for a period of time, she can not only return to her peak but also advance even further.

But Jiang Chuan knew perfectly well what was going on.

Bai Qiuhan went to great lengths to get rid of this Gui Water Qi, for there was probably a great danger hidden within.

Chang Yuexian's gains may not necessarily be a good thing.

However, he didn't need to mention these things to her.

The two exchanged a glance, neither lingering, and each headed down the mountain.

……

Yuanling Mountain.

Jiang Chuan returned to his alchemy room and rested for several days, fully replenishing the energy and spirit he had lost during the trip.

When he stepped out of the alchemy room again, he had returned to his peak condition.

But only one thing remained before him.

Foundation building.

Having reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, there is no further advancement possible.

I want to take it one step further.

Only by building a foundation.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan began to gather all information about Foundation Establishment.

Check this.

Sure enough, he discovered many key details that he had never known before.

It turns out that even the most skilled cultivators can only achieve a 50% success rate in Foundation Establishment.

Half of it relies on manpower.

Fifty percent depends on fate!

Of the "five percent" that human power can control, it is further subdivided into five key points.

Firstly, the grade of the primordial Qi accounts for 10%.

Only primordial Qi of grade three or above can evolve into an immortal foundation during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Secondly, there is cultivation level.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, one must use their cultivation to support their soul and pass through nine heavenly barriers in order to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

Those whose cultivation is insufficient will fall before they even step into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Thirdly, there is the strength of one's soul.

Within the Foundation Establishment realm, the [Turbid World Wind], which can erode a cultivator's soul, blows year-round.

One's soul must be strong enough to gain a foothold in the Foundation Establishment stage and evolve into an immortal foundation.

Otherwise, even if one manages to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm by sheer luck, it will only be a fleeting moment and will be difficult to maintain for long.

This fourth factor tests the steadfastness of one's Dao heart.

This was used to deal with another great terror in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Inner demon thoughts!

As for the fifth stage, there are many more factors involved. There are always some rare items in the world that can help one achieve a solid foundation in foundation building, and these can all be taken into account.

For example, the [Jiebao].

Following the clues, Jiang Chuan also discovered the details of Jie Bao.

It turns out that the legend of the Immortal Alliance's founder refining seventy-two small worlds and forging them into seventy-two immortal mountains is true.

Every world that has been refined can have its remaining [World Core] forged into an incomparably precious World Treasure.

This treasure possesses the wondrous power to evolve grotto-heavens.

It is especially useful for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This is because the immortal foundation that a Foundation Establishment cultivator develops in the Foundation Establishment realm is similar to an independent small grotto-heaven.

If one could obtain a treasure from another realm and integrate it into one's immortal foundation, it would be of great help to the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and breaking through to the peak of Foundation Establishment in the future would be a sure thing!

Jiang Chuan raised his head and looked at the surging sea of ​​clouds outside the alchemy room window, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Jiebao.

He finally understood why Bai Qiuhan was willing to incite the greed of two True Immortals in order to hold onto that World Treasure tightly.

With it, the path to Foundation Establishment and even the Golden Core is no longer an unattainable dream!

If it were him...

We will never hand it over easily!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement: "True Master Chiyue once said that the World Treasure cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation, which means that it must still be hidden somewhere by Bai Qiuhan..."

"Hiss... No! How could I have such a thought!"

He suddenly jolted awake.

Those two True Immortals must have understood that they were unaware of the existence of the [World Treasure], which is why they didn't attack him directly at the time.

But this might just be Bai Qiuhan's scheme!

Perhaps even he himself doesn't know.

One of his items.

Or a trait.

It's about finding the key to that world treasure!

And those two True Immortals must have thought the same way. They didn't restrict themselves in order to manipulate cause and effect behind the scenes, wanting him to find the World Treasure step by step!

It's foreseeable that once he actually finds that treasure, it will be the time when the two True Immortals reap the rewards!

What kind of world treasure is this!

Shit!

Even if that thing is incredibly powerful and useful, it's still not something I can afford! I should give up any wishful thinking now!

Jiang Chuan shook his head violently, forcing himself to think about something else and diverting his attention.

"The five essential elements of foundation building..."

"Now, my spiritual energy level and cultivation depth have both reached the required standards."

Jiang Chuan silently considered his options.

But the remaining two items gave him a problem.

Soul strength.

The Way of the Heart.

He never specifically practiced either of these.

His cultivation was entirely built upon the Starry Sky Mirror; although his foundation was solid, he had never engaged in spiritual cultivation.

In terms of Dao heart, he had lived two lives and his temperament was far more resilient than his peers, but Dao heart is not something that can be judged by who lives longer.

In the Foundation Building Realm.

The corrupt winds of the world and endless demonic thoughts are both deadly terrors.

Jiang Chuan didn't want to end up like Bai Qiuhan, losing his Dao heart, collapsing his immortal foundation, and dying.

"We need to address these two shortcomings."

He stood up, a resolute glint in his eyes.

……

Inner gate, scripture pavilion.

Jiang Chuan showed his identity token and paid a considerable amount of contribution points before he was allowed to enter this important place.

The Sutra Repository is perched high within a main peak of the inner gate, shaped like a nine-story pagoda. The pagoda is ancient and simple, radiating a faint spiritual light.

It is said that this place contains all kinds of cultivation techniques and secret arts collected by the Immortal Alliance over thousands of years, including many true teachings left by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The library was filled with books and letters.

Jiang Chuan didn't rush to make a move, but instead scanned the bookshelves as he went.

The library does have no shortage of methods for cultivating the soul, but most of them are just ordinary things for tempering the mind and nourishing the spirit.

When faced with the corrupt winds of the world, the spirits forged through these methods would likely be blown away in an instant.

Methods for cultivating the Daoist mind are even scarcer.

Jiang Chuan spent three whole days flipping through it.

Ultimately, it was only by borrowing Meng Yangyu's authority that they were able to finally find both cultivation methods for the Divine Soul and the Dao Heart.

One book, called "The Celestial Stars Refining the Spirit Diagram," involves visualizing the celestial stars to temper one's spirit. When one reaches a high level of refinement, one's spirit condenses like a star, becoming immortal and indestructible.

One of them is called the "Heart Sutra of Clear Mirror and Still Water". The mind is like a clear mirror, reflecting all kinds of demonic thoughts. The still water is without waves. Even if a thousand calamities arefall you, it is difficult to shake your Dao heart in the slightest.
