Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

A dozen or so gazes hung in the sky.

Jiang Chuan didn't need to look up to feel the weight of those gazes.

Greed, contempt, murderous intent.

Like a flock of vultures surrounding their prey, waiting for him to take his last breath before swarming in and devouring him clean.

The protection of the Immortal Alliance Master?

The promise of the Azure Nether True Lord?

Jiang Chuan never took it seriously.

He understands one principle better than anyone else.

No gift in this world is ever free.

In particular, he was a true ruler.

To entrust one's life to a complete stranger, someone who could crush one's life with a single thought.

That's not courage.

It's not stupid.

He would never place his life or death in the hands of another person.

Jiang Chuan looked up and glanced around.

His eyes were cold.

The next moment, he said nothing more and sat cross-legged on the spot.

In front of a dozen or so real people.

Invoking the secrets of heaven, forcibly establishing the foundation!

Boom!!!

The moment the words left his mouth, the world fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous roar exploded from the heavens!

The thunder came without any warning.

The sound echoed through the mountains.

The earth trembled.

The clear, cloudless sky darkened at a visible speed.

Lead-like clouds surged in from all directions, like a vast army, layer upon layer.

In just a few breaths, the entire sky was compressed into a dark dome.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Thunder roared across the sky like ten thousand dragons, churning and roaming among the clouds, casting the light and shadow of heaven and earth on and off!

A violent storm arose.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to have received some command, and frantically converged towards Jiang Chuan.

First, it was in wisps and strands.

Then they converge into a stream.

Finally, it coalesced into a massive vortex that was visible to the naked eye and stretched across the heavens and the earth!

The vortex slowly rotated, faster and faster, and bigger and bigger.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, vegetation lay flat and sand and gravel rolled upside down.

A deep rumble came from the depths of the earth.

The wild beasts in the mountains lay prostrate on the ground, trembling and howling incessantly.

Even the robes of the dozen or so immortals hanging in the sky fluttered in the wind.

Outside the secret realm, the Qi Refining cultivators who had not yet dispersed all turned pale with horror.

"What is he going to do?!"

"Foundation Building! He's establishing his foundation in front of everyone!"

"He's insane... To establish his foundation in front of so many real people, does he want to die even faster?!"

"What are you all standing there for? Run!"

"A mere touch of this aftershock would mean certain death!"

I don't know who shouted it first.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds and thousands of figures tumbled and scrambled, scattering in all directions.

Some wielded swords, their sword light flashing crookedly.

Those who were traveling by boat collided with each other.

Many more people had no choice but to run as fast as they could, desperately trying to get to the distance.

He only regretted not having diligently practiced his escape techniques in his spare time.

Meanwhile, the dozen or so immortals in the sky reacted in different ways.

A Taoist priest in a green robe was the first to sneer:

"How dare you!"

"You're forcibly establishing your foundation right in front of us? Do you really think we wouldn't dare to make a move?!"

"Why bother getting angry with him?" another person said calmly. "The moment he breaks through will be the moment he dies. Arguing with a dead man is just beneath your dignity."

Some people looked at him with a strange expression, stroked their beards, and sighed:

"This young man is decisive and courageous. Even in dire straits, he neither kneels nor begs, but does the opposite. If he can survive, he will surely become a prominent figure in the future."

However, a chilling murderous intent lingered within those words of praise.

Praise is praise.

We must kill them, we still have to kill them.

Many others, however, remained indifferent, waiting to see what would happen.

"interesting."

Suddenly, an old master with white hair and beard narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at Jiang Chuan.

"This child's Dao Heart is not perfect; it has clearly been shattered recently and has not yet healed! A shattered Dao Heart is a major taboo in Foundation Establishment. Forcing a breakthrough in this state will undoubtedly lead to his death!"

"The Origin Realm forbids Foundation Establishment cultivators from appearing in the world. This brat is simply courting death."

"We will simply watch as this world grinds him to dust!"

Upon hearing this, all the masters nodded in agreement.

No one knew that Jiang Chuan had publicly challenged the Dragon Lord to kill him outside the secret realm.

After all, the appearance of a true lord in person caused the heavens and earth to change color.

Even a real person wouldn't dare to peek at it in the slightest.

His words.

Heaven knows, Earth knows, only Jiang Chuan, Qingming Zhenjun, and that old dragon lord themselves know.

Jiang Chuan even dared to provoke a True Lord.

at this time.

What does it matter if there are more than a dozen real people threatening us?

Thus, a dozen or so immortals stood high above, observing coldly.

They are all waiting.

Jiang Chuan, this native of the lower realm, will bring about his own destruction.

In full view of everyone.

Jiang Chuan's foundation-building ceremony officially began.

He still lacks one thing if he wants to build a foundation.

An object of extreme Yin and Ding Fire.

Where did it come from?

Jiang Chuan flipped his hand over.

An old oil lamp appeared out of thin air and hung in his palm.

The oil lamp was rusted and covered with fine runes.

A dim flame burned on the wick.

The flame was eerily still, radiating an intensely pure and chilling aura.

It was the Ding Fire item that Bai Qiuhan prepared in order to obtain a foundation!

now,

But it became a gift left to him.

Moreover, after Bai Qiuhan's failed attempt to refine the Ding Fire, its grade actually increased by one level out of thin air.

It has reached the second rank, fourth stage!

Although it cannot compare to his second-grade, second-level [Furnace Qi].

But it's enough!

The next moment, he no longer hesitated and pointed with two fingers.

The wisp of dark flame rose from the wick, transformed into a cold light, and was swallowed by him in one gulp!

boom!!

In an instant, Jiang Chuan's aura surged like a burst dam, rising rapidly!

Foundation building has begun!

The entire foundation-building process is divided into three steps.

The first step is to use one's own true essence to elevate one's soul, pass through the nine barriers, and ascend to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

This step has stopped countless promising talents from succeeding.

Those who lack true energy will run out of steam halfway through their attack and fail to achieve their goal.

However, this step was the easiest one for Jiang Chuan.

His true essence had already liquefied.

Vast as rivers and seas.

He doesn't even need the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The function of the Foundation Establishment Pill is simple: it replenishes the true essence consumed during a breakthrough.

Of the 50% chance of victory that can be won through human effort, the 10% comes from "cultivation."

And what Jiang Chuan has in abundance is true essence!

"Rush!"

Jiang Chuan had a sudden thought.

The soul leaves the body, defying the mysterious heavenly barrier, and soars upwards!

First layer.

Double.

triple……

Each pass is a lock between heaven and earth.

What is locked is the insurmountable chasm between mortals and true immortals.

But he traveled as if he were in an empty field.

Mighty and unstoppable!

Soon, all nine passes were breached!

His soul touched that ethereal realm filled with immense terror.

That is a place that countless cultivators, even after a lifetime, cannot see even a glimpse of.

Jiang Chuan looked up.

Then, I stepped inside!

hum! !

In an instant, Jiang Chuan felt his mind become incredibly comfortable.

It felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

It was as if it had undergone a complete sublimation.

He slowly opened his "eyes".

Looking around.

This so-called Foundation Establishment Realm was actually a dark and boundless void.

There was no sky, no earth.

There are no sun, moon, or stars, no mountains, rivers, or vegetation.

All that remained was an endless gray fog and an eternal, deathly silence.

But when he looked down...

Beneath his feet, a hole pierced by his soul was emitting a soft light.

Outside the cave entrance, the entire primordial realm is laid out before you.

High mountains, great rivers, cities, all living beings...

He could see the entire Origin Realm at a glance!

At this moment, it was as if the entire Origin Realm had shrunk into a sand table in his palm.

Jiang Chuan suddenly realized.

This is foundation building.

This is personhood!

When a Qi Refining cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the improvement is not just about the difference in cultivation level.

Rather, it is a complete and profound transformation at the level of life itself.

It's like the difference between humans and gods!

Jiang Chuan could sense that his overall cultivation level had not improved much.

But if it were him facing himself a moment ago... he could easily crush him with just a thought!

This is the fundamental difference in status, which cannot be bridged by any means!

And just as he was filled with emotion.

A sudden change occurred.

Within the Foundation Building Realm, a gentle breeze stirred silently.

The wind came without any warning.

Formless and colorless.

But wherever it passed, even the gloomy void was stirred up by the wind.

This is clearly one of the greatest terrors existing in the Foundation Establishment realm.

The corrupt winds of the world!

The terror of this wind is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot stay long without any protection.

If it were a Qi Refining cultivator, they would be completely annihilated in an instant!

Jiang Chuan felt an excruciating pain, as if his very soul was being scraped.

In an instant.

It was already covered in wounds!

If he hadn't made up for the defects in his soul beforehand and cultivated the perfect [Undying Star Soul], he would have been different.

This gust of wind alone could shatter his soul into pieces!

Even so, visible cracks appeared on his soul.

Jiang Chuan dared not delay. He suddenly activated his primordial energy and began to evolve his immortal foundation.

But then, in the boundless, gray world, a great sun suddenly shone brightly!

The great sun, shining brightly, rose from behind him.

Wherever its light reaches, nothingness is reduced to scorched earth!

That was the immortal foundation that Jiang Chuan had cultivated, the "True Fire Refining Record of the Sun's Crown", the second-grade, second-level "Furnace Qi" and that wisp of Yin Ding Fire, which were combined to form the immortal foundation!

His unique and unparalleled immortal foundation!

The bright sun.

The scorching sun beat down on the parched earth.

His immortal foundation then began to expand outwards.

The scorching earth spread out inch by inch, resisting the invisible, turbid winds of the world.

His soul was finally no longer tormented by the wind.

at this time.

A thought naturally popped into Jiang Chuan's mind.

The size of the immortal foundation is completely fixed at the moment of breakthrough.

It is a crucial factor in determining how many times a true person can attain enlightenment in the future.

A one-zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) immortal foundation can only be used to achieve Dao integration once.

His future cultivation will stop at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Unless there is an extraordinary stroke of luck, it will be difficult to make any further progress.

The only way is through reincarnation and rebirth.

A five-zhang (approximately 10 meters) immortal foundation allows one to merge with the Dao three times and break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

But likewise, it will stop here.

Nine is the ultimate number in the world!

Only by achieving a nine-zhang immortal foundation can one merge with the Dao five times and attain perfect cultivation.

To break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and even further, and seek the Golden Core Path!

For an instant.

Jiang Chuan thought of Bai Qiuhan.

Back then, the [World Treasure] in Bai Qiuhan's possession was a rare and extraordinary item capable of expanding one's immortal foundation!

It can even allow a True Person whose Immortal Foundation has already been established to advance further on this path!

But it was precisely because of this that he attracted the covetous eyes of two true immortals.

Who are those two real people?

They even went so far as to lower themselves and personally intervene to stop him from breaking through!

On that day, Bai Qiuhan's attempt to find a cauldron failed.

The foundation of immortality collapsed, and the very basis was destroyed.

finally.

He ended up having to reincarnate and start over.

The tragic scene of Bai Qiuhan's death seems still vivid in my mind.

Jiang Chuan felt a sudden pang of heart palpitation for no apparent reason.

Back then, Bai Qiuhan was only stopped by two True Immortals, yet he suffered such a tragic defeat.

But now, he is forcibly establishing his foundation under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen True Immortals!

If these dozen or so masters were to attack together...

not good!

Jiang Chuan was startled and suddenly came to his senses.

He was disturbed by his inner demons!

Sure enough, in the brief moment he was entangled in demonic thoughts, the turbid wind from that dark world had already taken advantage of his vulnerability and entered.

His immortal foundation was eroded and riddled with holes!

Fortunately, his primordial Qi was of a high enough level.

It has a solid foundation.

That's why I didn't end up like Bai Qiuhan!

Jiang Chuan quickly guarded his Dao heart and used his profound true essence to repair his Dao foundation.

Little by little, fill in those holes.

The foundation has stabilized again.

Continue, expanding outwards inch by inch.

One zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

Two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).

Three zhang...

Jiang Chuan's primordial Qi and the cultivation technique he practices are both of extremely high quality.

The scorched earth foundation formed by these two elements is quite sturdy.

In the blink of an eye, it expanded to a radius of five zhang!

But at that moment, an even more terrifying inner demon attacked Jiang Chuan's mind once again!

Jiang Chuan's vision blurred.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to Tianyuan City.

Flames shot into the sky.

The city he knew so well had been reduced to ruins.

Cries and shouts blended together.

His father, Jiang Mingyuan, fell on the threshold, his body riddled with arrows.

His mother, Wang Xiulan, was still tightly clutching something in her arms, but she could no longer open her eyes.

Xu Yinyin, Ling Aoshuang, Shen Zhiyi...

Familiar faces distorted and melted in the firelight.

Blood soaked up his feet.

"Jiang Chuan..."

"Help us..."

"My son..."

Those calls, like needles, pierced his heart.

Jiang Chuan stood motionless amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

a long time.

He closed his eyes.

"They're all fake."

When I opened my eyes again, all that remained was clarity.

"I am invincible, and I can protect my loved ones and keep this world at peace."

"I will kill anyone who dares to touch them."

"Kill until no one dares to move!"

"Slaughter until the world falls silent!"

"Naturally, the world will be at peace!"

boom!!

The illusion before my eyes shattered instantly.

The next moment, the sky cracked open.

A gigantic hand, obscuring the sky, emerged from the crack and slammed down on Jiang Chuan's head!

That was the giant hand transformed from the mysterious true man behind the "Blood God Transformation Technique"!

At the same time, two figures emerged from the void.

One person was dressed in blood-red.

It is none other than the Crimson Moon Immortal!

The other person, with a blurred face and a chilling aura, was none other than the mysterious master who had always coveted him!

Three great immortals have joined forces!

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

In the past, this illusion would have directly caused his Dao heart to shatter.

That was his deepest worry.

But at this moment, Jiang Chuan looked up at the massive, overwhelming hand pressing down on him, and at the two towering figures.

There was not a trace of fear on his face.

"If you are truly here, I will gladly accept my fate and die."

"But do you dare to come down into this Origin Realm?"

Yes.

He is in the Source Realm.

Even though these real people had left countless backup plans on him, they couldn't activate them in the slightest at this moment.

They dare not descend to the mortal realm!

boom!!

As soon as he finished speaking, the colossal hand that blotted out the sky and the two figures were shattered by Jiang Chuan's punch!

Then, the scene changed again.

The scene that Jiang Chuan least wanted to face flashed before his eyes.

His identity was exposed.

The cards have been revealed.

The secret of time travelers has been revealed!

Countless people pointed at him, calling him an outcast and a monster.

In the past, he was deeply worried about this.

I can't sleep at night.

But at this moment, Jiang Chuan simply smiled.

Throughout the myriad realms, countless heroes have emerged!

A Foundation Establishment True Person can be reincarnated and rebuilt three times.

Each reincarnation brings a completely new identity.

What is he, a mere transmigrator with a cheat ability, in this vast world?

To outsiders, he was at most a rather outstanding genius.

What good will it do to expose it?

As long as he is invincible, he can crush any threat!

boom!

boom!

boom!

The triple illusion was shattered.

Break free from inner demons!

In the process of constantly shattering inner demons, Jiang Chuan's originally broken Dao heart quietly achieved perfection.

Like a clear autumn mirror, reflecting the heavens, untouched by any dust.

A clear and bright mind!

At this moment, Jiang Chuan's soul, Dao heart, cultivation, and primordial Qi all reached perfection.

I'm 50% sure.

Four have been accomplished!

Only that one percent remains, blessed by a rare treasure from heaven and earth!

Just as he had this thought.

A beam of mysterious light pierced through the sky!

Ignoring the dark and void barrier, they directly entered the Foundation Establishment Realm!

At the same time, the voice of True Lord Qingming rang in his ears:

"This item is the Heavenly Dao Token, which can increase your chances of successfully establishing your foundation by 10%."

"I'm lending it to you in advance."

"Kid, don't let me down!"

Jiang Chuan was startled.

Heaven's Decree!

This is the highest reward the Immortal Alliance can offer to the cultivators from the lower realms!

That Azure Nether True Lord actually delivered this item to him ahead of schedule.

This is tantamount to announcing in public that Jiang Chuan will become a key figure for the Immortal Alliance to cultivate in the future!

Moreover, this Heavenly Dao Token is exactly the rare treasure of heaven and earth that he needs most right now.

This favor is truly significant.

But when faced with the mysterious light floating in front of him, Jiang Chuan hesitated and did not immediately take it.

It's the same principle.

Every word and every punctuation mark spoken by the True Lord of the Immortal Alliance is worthy of his deep suspicion!

From the very beginning, this Azure Nether True Lord showed me an inexplicable fondness.

It couldn't possibly be because he killed the Third Prince of Qianting and made that old dragon king lose face.

Why would a true lord be so attentive to a junior?

This kindness, which seemed like a windfall, kept Jiang Chuan on edge.

After thinking for a long time.

Jiang Chuan ultimately did not accept the gift.

He clasped his hands in greeting, gazed at the horizon, and proclaimed in a clear voice:

"Thank you for your kindness, senior."

"This item is too precious for me to accept."

"No need for you to trouble yourself, senior."

The next moment, Jiang Chuan took out another item from his backpack.

A precious pearl.

It is warm and smooth all over, with a layer of hazy light flowing inside.

It was the magic treasure of destiny that Bai Qiuhan gave him before he entered reincarnation!

During his journey to the mortal realm, for every cultivator from the Heavenly Chapter Realm he killed, this treasure accumulated a portion of its fortune.

Today, it is already showing signs of full growth!

This item is not as good as the Heavenly Decree.

However, it is also a rare and wonderful object that can increase the chances of success in Foundation Establishment!

However, if we want to use this treasure, we have to worry about whether the shrewd Bai Qiuhan has left any hidden tricks on it.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan hesitated and did not remove it.

But at the moment.

The lesser of two evils.

Compared to a Heavenly Decree that might have been tampered with by a True Lord, this Fortune Pearl seems much more amiable!

After all, Bai Qiuhan and a True Monarch are fundamentally not on the same level!

Jiang Chuan immediately made his decision without hesitation.

He held the precious pearl high in the air.

"go!"

hum! ! !

Within the precious pearl, the accumulated fortune, like a river bursting its banks, poured out!

But unexpectedly, or rather, unexpectedly, it was a result of what was expected.

It happened just as expected.

At the very moment that fortune surged forth.

A figure slowly emerged from the pearl.

Dressed in white, whiter than snow.

His smile was gentle and warm.

It's Bai Qiuhan!

His smile was exactly the same as before, gentle and warm, yet it sent chills down one's spine.

Bai Qiuhan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the nascent immortal foundation beneath Jiang Chuan's feet, and gently clapped his hands.

"Junior Brother Jiang."

He spoke with a smile, his tone as warm and friendly as if he were an old friend he hadn't seen in years.

"I can't believe you actually succeeded!"

"All my scheming and deception in preparing everything for you was worthwhile."

"You've really worked hard."

Then, he lowered his head and carefully examined the immortal foundation, his eyes filled with admiration.

"The posture of the eight-foot-long Immortal Base."

"Junior Brother Jiang's opportunities are even greater than mine."

"Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough."

"But Junior Brother Jiang, you don't need to worry."

"When I one day in the future, with the help of your immortal foundation, step onto the supreme path, I will definitely remember the old friendship with Junior Brother Jiang!"

Having said that, he flipped his hand over, and something appeared in his palm.

It shines brightly, like the sun, yet it is ever-changing and never takes a fixed shape.

It was none other than the [World Treasure] that he had been trying so hard to hide!

The Crimson Moon Immortal is right.

The treasures of the realm cannot be brought into the next life.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qiuhan's concealment methods even managed to deceive Chi Yue, a Grand Master in the late Foundation Establishment stage!

Immediately afterward, Bai Qiuhan said no more. He took a step forward, and his body shone brightly. He was about to directly seize Jiang Chuan's Dao Foundation and use it to be reborn!

However, Jiang Chuan was not surprised at all by his actions.

At this moment, he only gave a cold laugh.

"Are you finished speaking?"

Bai Qiuhan was stunned.

Immediately, the smile on his face froze.

Because he suddenly realized that the fortune emanating from the fortune pearl never actually fell on Jiang Chuan!

His expression changed drastically!

"This...this is impossible!"

Before he could react, the powerful aura of fortune was completely drawn away by an unseen force!

Not a single trace left!

And the source of that power was none other than what lay beneath Jiang Chuan's feet...

Origin Realm!

"Senior Brother Bai."

Jiang Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the world with an air of dominance between his brows!

"Within the Heavenly Chapter Realm, I must address you as Senior Brother due to seniority."

"But within this Origin Realm, what should you call me?"

"You think you're worthy to scheme against me?!"

boom!!

The words fell.

An incredibly terrifying thought erupted within the Origin Realm!

That thought was supreme, unparalleled, and boundless.

In an instant, Bai Qiuhan's figure was shattered!

Not even a crumb was left!

This scene, witnessed by the onlookers, immediately caused unprecedented shock.

"That's...that's the Heavenly Dao of the Origin Realm!"

"Is the Heavenly Dao of the Origin Realm helping this guy achieve the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

A real person gasped in surprise.

At this moment, they even forgot that the incomparably precious treasure had fallen into Jiang Chuan's hands.

For the Heavenly Dao of a realm to actively help cultivators achieve Foundation Establishment is simply astonishing!

Foundation Establishment cultivators are nothing more than parasites that steal the Dao of Heaven.

It is already an immense stroke of luck that Heaven has not sent down calamity to crush them.

But what happened before their eyes completely overturned their worldview!

The Heavenly Dao of the Origin Realm is actually actively helping Jiang Chuan seek a foundation!

What is this?!

What does it matter if they scheme and plot to steal the foundation of the Dao that Heaven has built?!

Just then.

The solemn voice of True Lord Qingming suddenly resounded in everyone's minds.

He uttered only four words, yet they struck like a bolt from the blue, plunging all the masters into a deathly silence.

"Foundation Building for the Heavenly Dao!"
