Chapter 246 - 214 Advancement to Late Foundation Establishment, Three Challenges in Core
Translator: 549690339
“You have gained a certain degree of cultivation experience in the Golden Core
Realm.”
“Your Spiritual Root Aptitude has been improved to a certain extent. “You have gained the Yin Force of the other party, elevating your cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage.”
Instantly, a series of messages emerged from the depths of Zhou Sui’s Sea of Consciousness. These were the fruits of his labor.
He was also secretly astounded, not expecting himself to fuse with Lin Yazhu
in this manner.
After all, it had been a long time since the Obsession Gu had entered Lin Yazhu.
But there were no significant movements.
Because the power of the Obsession Gu was suppressed by Lin Yazhu’s formidable Dao heart.
However, it was just a suppression, and not an elimination.
Thus, the longer the suppression, the more intense the outbreak would be.
Now that he had found a safe residence, he could no longer repress it. Naturally, the benefits he gained from Lin Yazhu’s three hundred years of cultivation with Yuanyin were self-evident.
Originally, his cultivation had reached the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, he would need at least a decade of cultivation to potentially break through this bottleneck.
But now, having acquired this massive surge of Yin Force, his Foundation Establishment bottleneck was instantly shattered.
It was as if everything had fallen into place effortlessly, without any hindrance.
“Is this the realm of the late Foundation Establishment stage?
Zhou Sui used his Divine Sense, sensing the state within his Dantian Qi Sea.
Now that he had ascended to the late Foundation Establishment stage, the volume of his Dantian Qi Sea expanded once again, like a deep pond expanding into a small lake, filled with a large amount of dark golden Mana liquid.
There were about five hundred drops of the dark golden Mana liquid, each one containing immense energy.
Compared to before, his Mana had increased by more than double.
It was clear how great the benefits of advancing to the late Foundation
Establishment stage were.
Boom!
At this moment, he circulated the Mana within his body, a full five hundred drops of Mana liquid surging in his body, seemingly forming a river, circulating through his body again and again.
He felt the Mana surge within his body.
It seemed that a light strike could cause a terrifying amount of damage.
“It’S too exaggerated. A typical Cultivator at the late Foundation Establishment stage can only accommodate three hundred and sixty-five drops of Mana liquid in their Dantian Qi Sea, which is the limit for a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator.”
“Such an amount of Mana is more than enough to condense a Golden Core.” “But now, my Dantian Qi Sea can accommodate five hundred drops of Mana liquid, and this is not even the limit.”
“If I cultivate to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, I could probably increase to a thousand drops of Mana liquid.”
“just in terms of the total amount of Mana, I am already several times more than other Foundation Establishment cultivators.”
“Is this the power of the Insect God Sutra? Compared to other Cultivation Techniques, it is indeed much stronger.”
“From the very beginning, there is a huge disparity, they’re simply incomparable.”
Zhou Sui was astonished, sensing the state of the Dantian Qi Sea within his body.
He had obtained the Cultivation Techniques of three major Sects, as well as many experiences in Core Formation.
He naturally knew what it was like for other Foundation Establishment
Cultivators during their Core Formation.
He was also very clear about how he should go about forming his Core.
“Core Formation is similar to Foundation Establishment, it also requires
passing through three tests.”
“The first test is the Mana test. If your Mana isn’t pure enough, you simply cannot form the core, even if you do, the core would fail due to too many impurities.”
“But basically, ninety-nine percent of Foundation Establishment Cultivators will encounter this problem, because they do not form their foundation on their own, but through the use of the Foundation Pill, so their Mana naturally isn’t pure enough.”
“Of course, there is a way to solve this problem, and that is to find a Core Formation spiritual object to assist you. Core Formation spiritual objects can help Foundation Establishment Cultivators purify their Mana, making it free of any impurities.”
“In the past, this was the case with Leng Yuexi. She obtained the Core Formation spiritual object, the Ice-fire Spiritual Liquid, which caused her inner Mana to become pure, free of any impurities, naturally increasing her Core Formation success rate by thirty percent.”
“The second test is the Divine Sense test. This test is also extremely important because successful Core Formation for Foundation Establishment Cultivators is indispensable to the power of Divine Sense. If one’s Divine Sense is not strong enough, they naturally cannot compress liquid Mana into a core.” “The third test is the Blood and Qi test, also known as the Physical Constitution test. If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is old and frail, or has injuries, it would easily lead to failed Core Formation.”
“Because the Mana of Core Formation is quite powerful, once it circulates in the meridians, if the body isn’t strong enough to withstand the circulation of Core Formation’s Mana, it will naturally cause the meridians to rupture and the body to explode and perish.”
“These three tests are extremely important for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”
-Even if one fails to pass a single test, it will lead to failed Core Formation and the death of their Dao.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin, recalling the many Core Formation experiences he had gained before. These experiences were left behind by the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the three major Sects over generations, and their value was self-evident.
This was the advantage of the Golden Core power.
The experiences left by generations of cultivators bring great benefits to later generations, enabling them to avoid making the same mistakes. The benefits are self-evident.
Now he had inherited nearly a thousand years of cultivation experience from the three major sects, standing on the shoulders of giants.
“Obviously, for a cultivator, Core Formation is more dangerous than Foundation Establishment.”
“It’s a one-way street.”
“Once failed, there will be a rampage of Mana, exploding and dying, almost irreparable.”
“Unless there are rare body-protecting pills to protect the body, otherwise it’s certain death.”
“But for me, these are not problems.”
“Because I built my foundation on my own, the Mana within my body has no impurities and is extremely pure.”
“As for Divine Sense and Physical Constitution, it goes without saying.” “Even though I haven’t reached the Golden Core Realm, I’m already stronger than most Golden Core Cultivators.
“In other words, as long as the Mana in my body can reach the state of perfection, I can naturally form a core on my own.”
A glint flashed in Zhou Sui’s eyes.
Compared to other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, his current condition was far too superior.
He was also very grateful that he chose to form his foundation on his own. This way, he didn’t know how many resources he would save.
Even without the so-called Core Formation spiritual objects, he could still succeed in Core Formation.
Others need to take risks, hence their chances of survival are slim.
But for him, there was no such concern.
It could be said that each step he took was a step ahead.
His choice of not ingesting the premium Foundation Pill and forming his foundation on his own was correct.
However, if one doesn’t have the fortune or aptitude, it would still be better to take the Foundation Pill, at least it’s safer..
