Chapter 201 - 200: Advancing to Mid Foundation
Translator: 549690339
“Very good, very good. When I was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment’s early stage, I only had fifty drops of liquid mana. After advancing to the mid stage of the Foundation Establishment, the number surprisingly reached one hundred drops instantly. The mana power had doubled.”
“No wonder the difference between the early and middle stages of the Foundation Establishment is so huge. Merely the total amount of mana is not on the same level. Simply with the amount of mana, I can crush a cultivator at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment, let alone the mastery of spiritual energy and various techniques.”
“Moreover, I now have nine Gu Insects in my possession, each holding a hundred drops of liquid mana, which means my mana power is nine times that of the ordinary cultivators at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment. This is absolutely outrageous.”
“Is this the tremendous power of the Insect God Sutra? It seems not that extraordinary in the early stage, but the more it advances, the more terrifying the technique appears.”
Zhou Sui was utterly astonished.
He sensed the vast mana within his body, and each move seemed to contain profound power.
After advancing to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment, his mana had doubled.
Now he understood what the main cultivation method for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment was.
That is to increase the liquid mana within the Dantian Qi Sea. If one breaks through the bottleneck, the Dantian Qi Sea can expand further, containing more mana.
However, if the Dantian Qi Sea can’t expand, one will be stuck in this realm and form a permanent bottleneck.
This is why many cultivators at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment fail to break through and advance to the mid-stage. Because of the flaws in their techniques, their foundations are not solid enough, their Dantian Qi Sea can’t expand, and basically fifty drops of liquid mana is their limit.
If they force breakthroughs, it will cause irreparable damage to their Dantian. Of course, there are ways to solve this problem in the world of cultivators. That is, the second-order Breakthrough Pill.
If you take this pill, you can help cultivators at the Foundation Establishment to expand their Dantian, forcibly help them break the bottleneck to advance to mid-stage.
The problem is that these pills are very rare and extremely precious. Even if you have Spirit Stones, it’s not for certain you can buy them. Moreover, taking this pill has severe side effects. Because of forcibly expanding Dantian, instead of the natural and gradual expansion that regular cultivators experience over a long time, this will cause damage to the Dantian Qi Sea. In this case, there is basically no hope for progressing to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment.
Of course, for those cultivators at the Foundation Establishment with mediocre talent, even the mid-stage would be great.
As for the late stage, they wouldn’t even dare to dream about it.”
“Wait, my divine sense, it has received such a tremendous increase.” “This should be comparable to the divine sense in the early stage of the Golden Core.”
Just at this moment, Zhou Sui was suddenly shocked.
When advancing to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment it wasn’t only his mana that had received an enormous increase, his divine sense had also seen astonishing growth.
Previously, his divine sense only had a range of about 250 feet.
But now, this had increased to 800 feet.
Knowing that even cultivators who just advanced to the early stage of the Golden Core only have a divine sense range around 500 feet.
But now, his divine sense has surpassed those cultivators who just advanced to the Golden Core.
Whooosh~~~
An invisible wave of divine sense suddenly spread out, covering a distance of eight hundred feet.
Everything within this range was perceived clearly by him, from the macro to the micro.
Birds flying in the sky, ants crawling on the ground, fish swimming in the river, cicadas crying out loud, etc., all clearly showed up in his divine sense.
Of course, thanks to the increase of his divine sense power.
His heart eye’s observational ability had grown even more terrifying, the range covered by the heart eye was ten times the power of his divine sense.
This is a constant ratio.
Therefore, now his heart eye could cover an area of eight thousand feet. This data was even more horrifying, not even the divine sense exploration range of the cultivators at the Golden Core completion stage, no, not even the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators could match his current heart eye’s perception.
“The Seven Apertures Spirit Secret is indeed terrifying.”
“Although the practice is extremely difficult, once successful, the abilities that emerge are like cheats.”
“This is not just a simple technique, it’s more like an Immortal Technique.” Zhou Sui was in awe, and he was becoming even more aware of the horror of the Seven Apertures Spirit Secret.
What a great opportunity it was for the ancestor of the Lu family to get this technique in the past.
It’s such a pity that due to insufficient aptitude, even having obtained such an opportunity, he couldn’t get any further with it.
The late-stage of the Foundation Establishment was the limit for that ancestor of the Lu family, beyond that, he couldn’t break through.
But he was different, with the help of the Book Worm, he could go further. Thinking about this, Zhou Sui opened his virtual panel to check his current cultivation state.
After all, there’s nothing more direct than the data on the virtual panel. [Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation: Middle Period of Foundation Establishment (Progress: 1%), Life Span: 32 (1200) years]
