Chapter 161 - 161 - Perfect Foundation Establishment, Six Hundred Years Lifespanl
“I made it, I have successfully established my foundation.
Zhou Sui didn’t know how much time had passed when he opened his eyes, filled with immense excitement.
He felt an earth-shaking transformation within his body.
The first thing was his physical metamorphosis.
Previously, he was only equivalent to a body cultivator in the early stages of
Foundation Establishment, but now, his physical quality has been further enhanced, enough to compare to a body cultivator in the middle stages of
Foundation Establishment.
More importantly, his body is now flawless.
All the scars left from previous battles and cultivation have been restored to their original state.
The pill toxins that had remained in his body due to the intake of pills have
also been completely expelled.
At this moment, his body is as perfect as an Innate form, without any defects. Undoubtedly, this is the benefit of a perfect Foundation Establishment, which completely refines the body and forms the Innate body.
He felt incredibly light, as if he had shed countless burdens.
The speed at which he runs his internal Mana is 30% faster than before.
“The Mana is so pure.”
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Zhou Sui also sensed in the depth of his Dantian Qi Sea, twenty droplets of dark golden liquid Mana flowing.
Each droplet of liquid Mana is incredibly pure.
Each is definitely more than double the quantity of those cultivators who relied on Foundation Pills.
You must know that most of the cultivators who have established their foundation in this world have done so by taking the Foundation Pill, so their liquid Mana always contains various impurities.
These impurities will have a significant impact on them when they form their Core in the future.
After all, during Core Formation, a cultivator must ensure that their Mana is extremely pure, without any impurities.
Any impurity will lead to a failure in Core Formation.
If you want to successfully form the Core, you’ll need a precious Core
Formation Spiritual Medicine to purify the liquid Mana in your body in advance and expel all impurities, then only it will be successful.
But now, Zhou Sui’s internal Mana is extremely pure, almost like a liquid without any impurities.
In the sunlight, it can also radiate a glow, clear as a crystal, and translucent.
This means, in the future when Zhou Sui forms his core, he won’t need a Core Formation Spiritual Medicine to remove Mana impurities.
Even without using Core Formation Spiritual Medicine, his success rate will be higher than the average cultivator who have perfectly established their foundation.
This is the advantage of self-directed foundation establishment.
If you take the lead in one step, you will lead all the way.
“Not only the purity has increased, but the power has also increased several
times over.”
Zhou Sui lifted a finger lightly.
He saw a light burst out from his fingertip, and instantly hit the wall.
The wall of the quiet room suddenly developed a shocking crater, with cracks spreading out, large amounts of rubble falling, and dust rolling around, all of which demonstrated the terror of this strike.
Obviously, True Yuan and Mana are not in the same class.
A drop of Mana could easily crush the power of hundreds of strands of True Yuan.
Moreover, controlling Mana can also make Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts several times more powerful.
The power of Talisman would also be even more terrifying.
This is why foundation establishment cultivators are so terrifying. A single foundation establishment cultivator can easily deal with dozens of Qi Cultivation nineth layer cultivators, showing an overwhelming combat power.
The most important thing is that after advancing to the Foundation Establishment, one can manipulate Spiritual Artifacts to fly.
As long as they fly in the sky, no matter how powerful the Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator is, they are helpless.
Upon thinking this, Zhou Sui’s thought moved, and his body immediately flew into the air.
A vast amount of Mana wrapped around his body from within, manipulating nature’s spiritual energy and flying with the wind.
It seemed as if at this moment, he had managed to break free of gravity. Of course, using such wind-control skills require significant mana and thus, could not be maintained for extended periods of time.
If one were to ride a flying sword or use some other flying spiritual artifact, they could conserve a great deal of mana, allowing them to stay aloft for longer periods and cover greater distances.
“My divine sense has improved tremendously as well.
Zhou Sui noted to himself, realizing that his divine sense had considerably increased.
Initially, his Foundation Establishment Divine Sense had a radius of 160 feet, an achievement that was comparable to the late stages of Foundation Establishment.
Now, however, it had reached an impressive distance of 330 feet.
Even the divine sense of a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment could not match his.
It was probable that even a Pseudo Pill stage cultivator’s divine sense would be no match for his own.
The divine sense of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator merely reaches around 660 feet. He now already had half the divine sense of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, which was indicative of his formidable divine sense.
It’s noteworthy that the usual early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator’s divine sense is merely 30 feet. It enhances to 50 to 65 feet in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
As for those in the late stages of Foundation Establishment, their divine sense can reach a distance of 100 feet.
Of course, cultivators with inherently powerful divine senses may have a few percentage points more.
But when compared to him, it’s clear as day how wider the gap is.
We can only say they aren’t even on the same level.
“Excellent, this was all worth it. I’m glad I decided to reach the Foundation Establishment on my own rather than using a Foundation Pill.
Zhou Sui was ecstatic, bursting into uproarious laughter.
The benefits of establishing his foundation autonomously were truly extensive. Not only did it transform his body into an Innate one, it also drastically amplified his divine sense. Even his mana had become extremely pure, free of any impurities.
These were things that simply couldn’t be achieved by consuming a Foundation Pill.
“Right, I need to check the virtual panel.”
Zhou Sui moved his mind, swiftly attuning to the Bookworm and bringing up the data of the virtual panel.
[Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation: Early Foundation Establishment Phase (Progress: 0%), Lifespan: 24 (600) years]
[Aptitude: Sixth stage Spirit Root (33%)]
[Swordmanship: First-grade Superior (99%)]
[Rune: First-grade Superior (99%)]
[Seventh-Order Formation: First-grade Superior (99%)]
[Pill Master: Lower-Class of Second Stage (95%)] [Phantasma Transformation skill: Minor Accomplishment (75 /»)] [Five Elements Alchemy Technique: Great Achievement (25%)] [Seven Apertures Spirit Secret: Heart-eye Recognition (65%)] [Fireball Technique: Grandmaster (29%), Wind Blade Art: Practiced, Golden Light skill: Practiced, Ice Frost skill: Practiced, Spring Wind Rain skill: Practiced, Lightning Summoning skill: Practiced…]
[Obsession Gu: Lower-Class of Third Stage, Clone Gu: Lower-Class of Second Stage, Wine Bug: Lower-Class of Second Stage, Gold Eating Bug: Lower-Class of Second Stage, Bookworm: Lower-Class of Second Stage, Dream Soul Gu: Mid-Class of Second Stage, Dragon Elephant Gu: Lower-Class of Second Stage, Golden Light Thousand Poison Gu: Lower-Class of Second Stage.] “What? My lifespan is now 600 years, so I’lllive longer than a Gold Core Master?”
Promptly, Zhou Sui bulged his eyes, finding it hard to believe.
While he was fully aware that advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm would significantly enhance his lifespan and had even felt the elevation of his body during the Marrow-Cleansing Vein-Cutting process, he had not anticipated that his lifespan would rocket to 600 years.
Generally, an ordinary Golden Core Master lives around 500 years.
Even with the intake of some longevity spiritual medicine, they could live barely over 500 years, surely not more than 600 years.
However, now that he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could survive for over 600 years.
This was approximately equivalent to the existence of two mortal dynasties..
