BXBX NOVEL Chapter 325 Foundation
Countless disciples watched this scene in envy and amazement. The feat of 8th path of ablution was something that was truly a little too far for them.
"Is this the 8th path of ablution? It's magnificent indeed." Ezra's expression was also tinged with excitement as he watched. He could feel the tremendous amount of spiritual energy contained within the clouds.
By the side, James Endoro nodded with a sigh. "I've heard that senior sister Ella reached the peak of 1st level Foundation Establishment stage long ago, and is currently accumulating spiritual energy to eventually attack the 2nd level. This 8 paths ablution will substantially supplement her foundational stockpile."
Ezra didn't give any type of response. By now, he was already aware that one needed to accumulate a gargantuan amount of spiritual energy in order to ascend from the Core Formation stage into the Foundation Establishment stage. The Foundation Establishment was the evolution of the Core Formation and focused on strengthening spiritual energy since the spiritual energy came from Martial Spirit, which was categorised into several grades such as 3rd-Grade, 4th-Grade etc. However, the foundation naturally had its own classification.
The rank of a foundation is decided by the spiritual energy foundational stockpile accumulated in the core during the Core Formation stage.
To be direct, the more spiritual energy in one's body, the higher one's foundation rank would be, because it represents the quality and quantity of one's spiritual energy.
The more spiritual energy and the purer it was, the better the evolved foundation would be. There is a very low chance that one's Martial Spirit levels up its grade, and the quality of spiritual energy remains the same. This is the only level in which a martial master can evolve the quality of spiritual energy and martial spirit. After all, Martial Spirit was the most important at the end of the day.
The Mountain Duct could refine one's Martial Spirit and expand one's core, making it an indispensable tool for improving one's foundations. It is useless for anyone above the stage of Foundation Establishment. This was why even top rankers like Ella Abella were extremely passionate about the Divine Spirit Ablution.
Under countless envious gazes, the phenomenon above the altar lasted for an entire incense stick of time, before gradually fading.
When the clouds dispersed, everyone saw the lovely and proud figure standing on the stone pillar again, the aura spreading from her body even stronger than before. It was clear that she had benefited greatly from the 8 Paths of Ablution.
On a certain mountain peak, Wilson's impassive face twitched faintly when he saw this. "Congratulations junior sister!"
Several of the Colleen Evil Peak disciples in the vicinity shouted their congratulations. Most of them were pretty girls, the sound of their clear voices immediately drawing numerous disciples over to show their support, making the place quite bustling for a time.
However, Ella retained her ice mountain-like appearance, merely giving a faint nod to these female disciples while ignoring the others.
Elder Rilda looked at Ella in satisfaction. She could be said to be the face of their Colleen Evil Peak's outer mountains and was their only ranker for now. Though they had several other outstanding disciples, all of them were still a little lacking. Hence, Elder Hilda was more than happy to see Ella further strengthen her foundations.
Elder Hilda was aware that Ella did not enjoy being under such attention and immediately said, "Ella, you are free to leave since your ablution is done."
Ella fell silent for a brief moment, before cupping her fists together towards Elder Rilda. The former's figure then flew off but did not leave straight away, but instead landed on one of the mountains with many Colleen Evil Peak disciples.
Elder Rilda was a little astonished. In the past, Ella had left immediately after her ablution was over, so why had she stayed behind today?
Though she was confused, Elder soon withdrew her thoughts as her gaze swept across the area once again, "Next, the diamond belt disciples from the various peaks should begin to prepare themselves."
Her words immediately caused the entire place to boil. After all, the diamond belt disciples were the main participants in this event, but due to the rules, they had to wait till the rankers level disciples were over before it came to their turn.
Things were even worse for Ezra. He had to wait till all of the diamond belt disciples were finished before he could finally have a go. However, he was not too anxious for his turn and decided to properly observe first.
Therefore, when numerous disciples from the mountains in the vicinity began to rise into the air and fly towards the altar, the prince remained where he stood, interest filling his gaze.
Mubarak had to go participate too and left some words of consolation for Ezra Zephyr, "Junior brother Ezra, we'll be heading over first. Wait here for a while, your turn will be next."
The prince smiled and nodded. As the first disciple under Elder Lo, Mubarak was a magnanimous individual who truly had the air of a senior
James seemed to be unable to stand the sight of Mubarak taking care of Ezra. With a soft chuckle, the former said mockingly, "Senior brother, you are too good of a person. But you should probably pay more attention to your own situation.
You've been doing worse than me every Divine Spirit Ablution, and at this rate, it will likely not be long before someone else takes over your position."
A few disciples who were close to James Endoro also laughed gloatingly. "The position of first disciples does suit senior brother James a little better."
Anger appeared on Mubarak's face. However, he was quite popular amongst the other disciples and several of them were unable to idly stand by and immediately spoke up for him.
Disdain was revealed on James's face as he looked at Ezra. "I will see you after Divine Spirit Ablution, your disrespect will not be forgiven." He merely waved his hand without waiting for Ezra's answer as he led his posse off towards the altar
Although Mubarak was still a little miffed, he still spoke up to try and pacify the other disciples.
