A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

Fortunately, these demonic birds didn't dare to provoke the Gold-Eating Bees; at most, they just glanced at them.

"Haha, I, Su Chun, am indeed a very clever person."

Su Chun watched the demonic beasts rushing past her, her heart filled with smiles.

After flying for some distance, Su Chun finally returned to the palace where the Xuanhuang Fruit Tree was located.

Upon arriving, the Gold-Eating Bee immediately put Su Chun down.

Su Chun quickly took out a set of colorful flags from her person; these were battle flags.

It's called the Five Elements Isolation Array, which can seal off the aura and divine sense probing of a certain area.

Su Chun planted the flags in five locations around the palace, then activated the array flags. An invisible energy spread out, enveloping the palace.

"Alas! We are saved."

"Little bees, please, I'm counting on you to be my gatekeepers for now."

Su Chun took out the Gold-Eating Beehive and used her magic to hang it directly above the main entrance. Only then did Su Chun breathe a slight sigh of relief.

She removed her coverings and relaxed.

I was going to put on some clothes, but then I thought about how sticky I felt, so I gave up.

"We can't waste it, we can't waste it!"

Su Chun glanced at her hand, opened her mouth and licked it. She didn't care about anything else anymore; minimizing the loss was better than nothing.

After licking her hands enough, she made a hand seal, and a surge of magical power emanated from her body, cleaning away all the dirt and honey that clung to her.

This is a purification technique commonly used by cultivators. After cleaning her body, she took out a set of clean clothes and put them on.

"Fifty years! We have to endure another fifty years before we can get out. Isn't there any other way?"

Su Chun felt a little confused, but only for a moment before she perked up.

"There's always a way out. If I can establish my foundation, the dangers here shouldn't be a problem. But will Lingyuan Blessed Land kill me if I try to establish my foundation here?"

After hesitating for a moment, Su Chun took another inventory of the treasures and cultivation supplies she had on her.

She has already reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, and the next step is Foundation Establishment. However, her current cultivation level has not yet reached the Spirit Realm Point. She needs to reach the perfect thirteenth level of Qi Refining before she can begin Foundation Establishment.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll rest and get myself in a better state first. Maybe being trapped here is a good thing."

Su Chun cleared out a clean area, took out a carpet, and began to meditate and regulate her breathing.

She had been fleeing from the monsters for a whole day, and the weakness she felt from using the treasure in the vault couldn't be recovered from in a short time. She was really exhausted.

The place she chose was indeed a very safe one; with the Gold-Eating Bees around, no monsters dared to approach this area.

Night fell quickly, and the day was finally over.

For almost a month afterward, Su Chun recuperated in this palace.

But what she didn't know was that being trapped in the Blessed Land of Lingyuan was actually a blessing in disguise.

Just one week after Lingyuan Blessed Land closed, the six demonic sects of the neighboring Luosha Kingdom suddenly launched an invasion of the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom.

These six demonic sects are the Joyful Union Sect, the Holy Spirit Sect, the Black Fiend Sect, the Ghostly Soul Sect, the Illusionary Spirit Sect, and the Netherworld Sect.

The timing of the demonic invasion coincided with a period of weakness in the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom. After all, the Lingyuan Blessed Land alone had lost tens of thousands of cultivators. If they did not attack at this time, it would mean that the leaders of the six demonic sects were brainless.

The seven factions of Yue Kingdom would not allow the six demonic sects to seize their territory just because they were stronger than them. Therefore, the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, led by the seven factions, formed a large army of cultivators to jointly resist the invasion of the six demonic sects.

At first, it was a battle between cultivators at or below the Foundation Establishment level from both sides, which the seven sects of Yue Kingdom were able to handle.

However, as a month later, cultivators at the Core Formation stage of the demonic path joined the battle, the pressure on the seven sects of Yue Kingdom gradually increased.

In just six months, the seven factions of Yue began to lose ground and lost large swathes of territory.

To make matters worse, after a six-month standoff, the Xuan Yue Sect and Bai Ling Mountain, two of the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, suddenly betrayed the country and joined the demonic faction.

This caused the already struggling cultivation world of Yue Kingdom to completely collapse.

However, the six sects of the Demonic Path did not pursue the remaining five sects relentlessly. Instead, they drove them out of the Yue Kingdom, and from then on, the entire territory of the Yue Kingdom belonged to the Demonic Path.

The cultivation community of Yue Kingdom held out for a full year.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Su Chun for the time being.

Su Chun is still searching for a way out in Lingyuan Blessed Land.

Su Chun spent a month recovering her health, and then, apart from cultivation, she explored the Lingyuan Blessed Land.

Those monsters only went berserk for the first few days, but after they couldn't find Su Chun in the following days, they gradually calmed down. However, she doesn't dare to appear in the monsters' sight at all right now.

She had to carefully disguise herself every day before going out, but without much success. This world seemed to have only one exit, and the gate to the Lingyuan Treasure Vault was also tightly closed, so she had no way to enter the Lingyuan Treasure Vault anymore.

Fortunately, Lingyuan Blessed Land is rich in spiritual energy and cultivation resources. In addition, with her own family background, Su Chun felt that breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage should be a very simple matter.

However, she did underestimate the difficulty of establishing a foundation with a spiritual root of the five elements.

Chapter 38 The Dilemma of Foundation Building

After being trapped in Lingyuan Blessed Land for a year...

With the help of the pills she possessed and the honey from the Xuanhuang flower, Su Chun finally reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

Next, she will attempt Foundation Establishment for the first time. Even if she fails at Foundation Establishment, it doesn't matter; she can continue to attempt it a month later.

Su Chun placed all the Foundation Establishment Pills and spirit stones in front of her. She had about fifty Foundation Establishment Pills on her, and she certainly didn't lack spirit stones.

"Come on, let me see if the pseudo-spiritual root foundation building is really as difficult as the legends say, as hard as climbing to heaven."

Su Chun swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill, and then absorbed the spiritual energy of several hundred spirit stones in one go.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth flowed into Su Chun's body from all directions like flowing water.

Under the influence of abundant spiritual energy and the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Su Chun's spiritual root emitted a five-colored light, and a colorful aura emanated from her body.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, one needs to transform one's spiritual energy from a gaseous state to a liquefied state, compressing the spiritual energy in the dantian and dantian into liquid true essence.

Once successful, one's abilities will be greatly enhanced, transforming one from an ordinary person into an immortal. One will be able to fly on magical treasures, completely abstain from grains and avoid disease, and also use complex spells and magical artifacts.

Their lifespan will also be extended to two hundred years.

Although those in the Qi Refining stage can use magic weapons with some difficulty, it's not as easy as those in the Foundation Establishment stage. Those in the Foundation Establishment stage can unleash the full power of magic weapons and can also use magic treasures with some difficulty.

The so-called "treasure-riding flight" means that one can use all the treasures on their person as flying vehicles, no longer limited to flying magical artifacts.

Under the stimulation of the Foundation Establishment Pill and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the gaseous power in Su Chun's body began to condense rapidly and was slowly transforming into liquid mana. However, even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, the addition of spirit stones and the spiritual energy of the blessed land, the power in Su Chun's body was still very slow.

Moreover, she cannot convert all five elemental powers at once, which is the disadvantage of having multiple elemental roots. A single elemental root only needs to convert one elemental power into liquid mana.

Su Chun's five attributes make it five times more difficult.

One Foundation Establishment Pill is simply not enough; at this rate of conversion, it's impossible to successfully establish a foundation.

"Damn it."

In less than three minutes, the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill and the spirit stone was completely exhausted, and the liquid mana that had been painstakingly condensed in his body showed signs of disintegration.

Su Chun quickly swallowed another Foundation Establishment Pill to stabilize the power conversion within his body. At the same time, Su Chun also swallowed several hundred spirit stones.

If one wants to successfully establish a foundation, one must convert gaseous power into 100% liquid mana. Su Chun has only reached 3% progress so far, which means he is still a long way from achieving foundation establishment.

After holding on for a while, the liquid magic power within her body could no longer be stabilized and exploded. The five-colored magic power dissipated and spread out from Su Chun's body.

Su Chun's face turned pale instantly; he had failed to establish his foundation this time.

"Damn it, with this situation, I still want to form the Core Formation? I don't think I can even reach the Foundation Establishment stage. We've solved the problem of slow cultivation speed in the Qi Refining stage, but what about Foundation Establishment now?"

Su Chun clenched her fists with a look of resentment.

Although she was mentally prepared, when she actually reached this point, she felt an unprecedented sense of despair.

It's like there's an insurmountable chasm in front of you, and you have to jump over it to keep moving forward.

What's even more frustrating is that Su Chun is trapped in Lingyuan Blessed Land. Once the Foundation Establishment Pills and spirit stones are exhausted, there will be no hope of achieving Foundation Establishment.

Fortunately, she had prepared for failure the first time. Even though she knew that Foundation Establishment Pills and spirit stones alone would not be enough for her to establish her foundation, she still had to make full preparations to welcome her foundation establishment attempt a month later.

"Why don't we try a different cultivation technique? After all, the Mysterious Maiden Embracing the Moon Technique is a dual cultivation technique."

Su Chun had no other choice, so she closed her eyes and began to study the contents of the Heavenly Heart Sword Manual.

The Heavenly Heart Sword Technique is divided into two parts: Yin and Yang. The Yang part is for attack, while the Yin part is for support.

After reading it, Su Chun chose the Yang chapter without hesitation.

After adjusting her breathing for a while, she began to try to cultivate the Yang chapter of the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique.

The Heavenly Heart Sword Technique belongs to the sword cultivation category and is quite different from conventional cultivation methods.

She made sword gestures with her hands, constantly changing her hand seals, as cultivating techniques also requires a lot of strength.

Therefore, Su Chun's Qi Gathering Pill came in handy.

The Qi Gathering Pill is now of little value; it's perfect for practicing martial arts.

Soon, a day passed. This Heavenly Heart Sword Technique is quite special. It requires condensing a sword heart within the body. Once the sword heart is successfully condensed, the cultivation is considered successful. If you want to break through, you need to fill the sword heart with sword energy.

This sword energy can be transformed by the power in the dantian.

Su Chun's Qi Gathering Pills were constantly being consumed during his cultivation, almost without interruption.

He failed several times during this period, and after nearly a week of continuous training, a fiery red sword-shaped mark appeared between Su Chun's eyebrows.

A sharp and intense power emanated from her body.

"Phew...it's done."

Su Chun let out a sigh of relief and opened her eyes with a smile on her face.

She had to admit that, in her heart, this technique was definitely more suitable for her than the Mysterious Maiden Embracing the Moon Technique.

Su Chun stood up, felt the power within her body, and pointed her finger at the wall with her sword-finger gesture. A fiery red, laser-like power shot out from her fingertip, hitting the wall and piercing a hole about the size of two fingers, but it failed to penetrate the wall.

"So strong."

This was Su Chun's first impression of this technique.

Unfortunately, the power stored in the sword within her body was only enough to unleash this one attack.

With the cultivation method issue resolved, the next problem is the pills. Su Chun feels he might need to spend some time trying to see if he can improve the Foundation Establishment Pill.
