Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 53: The World in the Cave

Gu Xiaoxing felt that this was just the mountain demon eating, just like a mortal eating meat and spitting out bones. In comparison, the foundation-building food was too "hard" to digest, so it naturally would not be eaten into the stomach.
But at the same time, if you want to get out after entering the mountain, you must build a foundation, otherwise, you will eventually be digested by the mountain!
The time limit is one month. After one month, the cracks in the mountain will close again. By then, even if your foundation has turned into "bone", can't you be digested in five hundred years?
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing became a little panicked. It was not that he was afraid of the disciples from other sects, but he was afraid that this foundation-building mountain monster might do something wrong and turn over or fart. This would be something that their group of Qi Condensation cultivators could not withstand. After all, that was the perfect Nascent Soul stage!
Compared to Gu Xiaoxing’s fear, others were more excited!
The moment the cracks appeared in the Foundation Establishment Mountain, many disciples of the sects were sharpening their knives and rubbing their hands, ready to fight. If the area outside the Foundation Establishment Mountain was the home ground of the Jindan elders, then the area inside the Foundation Establishment Mountain was the stage for these cultivators who had reached the perfect state of Qi Condensation!
When they come out again, they will be at the foundation-building stage. Once they become the foundation-building stage, it means a change in their identity and status. They will no longer be disciples of the sect, but elders!
After the protectors of various forces gave some instructions to the disciples behind them, many disciples jumped up and headed straight for the crack in the Foundation Building Mountain!
Master Bai turned around to look at Gu Xiaoxing and the others and said, "Pay attention to everything. I will wait for you to return from building your foundation. Go!"
The disciples bowed respectfully and then flew away with the crowd.
Only Gu Xiaoxing was still hesitant, and asked uncertainly, "Uncle Bai, has this Foundation Building Mountain really never had any accidents?"
Gu Xiaoxing found it scary just to think about really going into the belly of the Nascent Soul old monster. However, when he saw Master Bai's face darken, he immediately stopped talking and followed everyone.
Looking at Gu Xiaoxing's back, Master Bai shook his head and showed a helpless smile. In fact, he was not very worried about Gu Xiaoxing. This brat seemed honest, but in fact, he was full of bad intentions and was not someone who would suffer any loss.
What he was worried about were the other disciples in the sect. The Soul Devouring Body was already weaker in combat power, and among their group, except for Chen Zili, Li Wenru and Zhou Bingding, the others were all Soul Devouring Body. In addition, they were unfamiliar with the place and were being bullied. Although they had the most disciples from the Soul Devouring Sect who entered the Foundation Establishment Mountain, not even Master Bai knew how many of them would be able to walk out in the end.
Finally, he sighed and murmured, "Forget it. This is your dispute. You can't escape it anyway..."
Nearly two hundred people were flying between heaven and earth, rushing madly towards the cracks in the mountain. Even if they had reached the perfection of Qi Condensation, they could not completely soar in the sky and earth, and still had to rely on some flying techniques or magical instruments. At this moment, among these people, some were flying swords, some were driving boats, some were riding leaves, and some were riding baskets, just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea , each showing their magical powers.
Only Gu Xiaoxing was still foolishly flying with the help of the flying technique. He immediately felt as if he was being outdone. Unconvinced, he wanted to use the Zi Ming Sword to perform his half-baked sword-flying technique, but when he saw many people flying swords, he felt that it was too ordinary, so he snorted coldly and raised his hand to point.
As Gu Xiaoxing pointed, a long chain emerged from his body and immediately transformed into a long red dragon, carrying him forward rapidly. Because the speed was too fast, it kept passing by one figure after another.
"Who is this person? How can he be so fast?" Someone on the way was surprised!
Someone was sharp-eyed and said, "There is a soul-devouring insect between his eyebrows. He must be a member of the Soul-devouring Sect. Didn't the elder say that soul-devouring bodies are very weak? Why does this person seem so powerful?"
Gu Xiaoxing was moving forward at a rapid speed and soon surpassed his fellow disciples. He did not wait for them and continued to move forward. It was not that Gu Xiaoxing was unwilling to go in with them, but because there was no point in staying together.
Although it was the first time for the Soul-Devouring Sect to enter the Foundation-Building Mountain and they were not very clear about many of the situations inside, they were still able to find out some of the most basic things!
They knew that even if they entered hand in hand, the huge suction force in the crack would completely separate them. If they forced themselves to hold hands, the final result would be either your hand or mine being broken.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxing riding the Soul Binding Rope and passing by in an instant, Chen Zili's expression condensed, and a black light flashed around him, and his speed suddenly increased. The same thing happened to Li Wenru behind him, but they were not good at speed. Even if they tried their best to catch up, even if they were unwilling, they could only watch Gu Xiaoxing's back getting farther and farther away.
Gu Xiaoxing continued to move forward and gradually came to the area in the front. At this moment, there were only four people left in front of him!
Among them was a graceful woman riding on a cloud, but she looked very ugly in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes, so he just glanced at her and turned his gaze to other people. In addition, there was a man in a black robe whose face could not be seen clearly, and a hot-blooded young man.
And in the front was a child flying on a sword!
Gu Xiaoxing remembered that he had seen him on the giant flying sword of the Yu Jian Sect before, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He felt a strong sense of crisis from this child.
Soon, the crack approached, and a huge suction force rushed towards him. Seeing the people in front of him dive in without hesitation, Gu Xiaoxing's heart trembled, "Are they not afraid at all?"
Restraining the fear in his heart, Gu Xiaoxing finally arrived at the mouth of the crack. Suddenly, the suction force increased dramatically, and the next moment, he was sucked into the crack uncontrollably.
To be on the safe side, he wrapped himself up with the soul-binding rope and used his spiritual sense to sense the outside world. He felt countless air currents sweeping him deeper and deeper like a strong wind. They were not going straight, but crisscrossing each other. It was as if the countless air currents formed an air maze, sweeping Gu Xiaoxing up and down. This state lasted for a whole hour, and even after he stopped, he still felt dizzy.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxing had reached perfect Qi Condensation and his spiritual awareness was extremely powerful. He quickly dispelled the dizziness by shaking his head and took the Soul Binding Rope back into his body. What he saw was an unfamiliar world.
"Is this the body of the foundation-building mountain demon?" Although Gu Xiaoxing had imagined it before, he still couldn't help being shocked when he actually saw it.
This is a huge world inside the cave. The cave is full of black crystal stones and is as bright as day. There are pillars rising into the sky, connected to the top of the cave. Some of those pillars have a diameter of tens of feet, some are hundreds of feet, some are thousands of feet or even more. At a glance, it stretches endlessly.
If the top of the cave is the sky and the bottom is the earth, then these countless pillars are the pillars that support the sky and the earth, and this is the foundation mountain!
Gu Xiaoxing turned around and saw a dark cave entrance behind him. Strong wind kept blowing out of the cave entrance. He thought this must be the entrance. There should be many such entrances in this cave world. As long as he completed the foundation building and found such a cave entrance, then the entrance would become an exit!
Only by building a foundation can there be a way out!
After taking a closer look, Gu Xiaoxing realized that he was completely unfamiliar with the world in the cave, so he just randomly chose a direction and flew away, starting to look for his own foundation-building opportunity!
To build the foundation is to build a Taoist foundation within the cultivator's body.
During the Qi Condensation stage, Lingkong still needs to rely on magic and external objects, but after building the foundation, he will be rooted in heaven and earth, no longer a rootless duckweed, and can completely walk in the void , which is no different from stepping on the ground.
Only by laying the foundation can one be considered to have stepped into the threshold of cultivating immortals and be truly worthy of being called an immortal who practices fasting and soars in the sky.
And foundation building is divided into building mortal foundation, building spiritual foundation and building immortal foundation.
Using one's own spiritual power to build a foundation is called building an ordinary foundation. Those with an ordinary foundation not only have average strength, but also have little possibility of becoming a Jindan.
In comparison, building a spiritual foundation is not only more powerful, but also greatly increases the possibility of achieving Dan. It can even be said that people with excellent aptitude for cultivation can basically achieve Dan by building a spiritual foundation, as long as there are no accidents!
However, if one wants to build a spiritual foundation, one needs some rare items from heaven and earth as aid. And in this foundation-building mountain, there is such a rare item from heaven and earth, which is called foundation-building spiritual liquid!
There are no monsters in the Foundation Building Mountain, but there is a kind of demon spirit transformed from stone. If you kill this demon spirit, you can obtain a drop of foundation building spiritual liquid from its body. You only need to collect a hundred drops to complete the spiritual foundation with this foundation building spiritual liquid!
And if one can gather a thousand drops, it will transform into the foundation of immortality, thus completing the construction of the foundation of immortality!
As long as the talent of an immortal is not too bad, he will surely reach the Nascent Soul stage if he survives!
"Quantitative change leads to qualitative change..." Gu Xiaoxing murmured, but the next moment, his expression changed slightly. As he flew, a big snake suddenly appeared in front of him. "Didn't they say there are no monsters in the Foundation Building Mountain?"
Gu Xiaoxing flew closer in confusion, only to find that the big snake was actually made of stone, it was actually a stone snake!
“Is this the stone demon spirit inside the Foundation Establishment Mountain? The ninth level of Qi Condensation…” Gu Xiaoxing did not attack immediately, but followed it a hundred feet behind and observed for a moment.
But the stone snake was seen moving slowly among the rocks. It did not look like it was made of stone at all. Instead, it looked like a real snake, winding and twisting itself very flexibly.
After he felt that there was no problem, golden runes appeared on Gu Xiaoxing's body surface and he took a decisive step forward. With his current perfect Qi Condensation cultivation and his unmatched physique, he used all his strength to perform the Fang Cun Step. With this step, he almost instantly crossed a distance of a hundred feet and appeared in front of the stone snake monster. Then he simply punched it out.
Suddenly, the stone snake's head split open with a loud bang, turning into pieces of rubble falling to the ground. It was actually a nine-layer Qi Condensation Stone Snake that was killed by a single punch!
Gu Xiaoxing slowly closed his fist. This was the first time he used all his strength after his cultivation reached the perfection of Qi Condensation. He felt extremely refreshed and very satisfied with his own strength. He subconsciously waved his sleeves, but soon remembered that he was alone here and there seemed no need to show off, so he coughed dryly and stepped forward to collect the drop of foundation-building spirit liquid dropped by the stone snake demon.
This foundation-building spiritual liquid is a drop of milky white liquid that exudes a strange fragrance and looks extraordinary.
Looking at the drop of liquid in the bottle in his hand, Gu Xiaoxing snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it just a thousand drops of foundation-building spiritual liquid? Let's drink it! Otherwise, if we don't want to get back the immortal foundation fortune that was taken away by the broken alchemy furnace, we have to ... snatch it back from here!"
