Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 62: Dao Embryo Foundation Building
Although one thousand drops of foundation-building spirit liquid are enough to build an immortal foundation, Gu Xiaoxing thought that since quantitative change leads to qualitative change, the more the better, so he simply swallowed all of the nearly twelve hundred drops of foundation-building spirit liquid.
After swallowing the spiritual liquid, Gu Xiaoxing immediately activated his cultivation to start refining it...
Meanwhile, outside, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Body Refining Sect had already reached the point of being unable to control their anger. They had more than ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators joining forces, but they were unable to take down a single Qi Condensation Cultivator. When they were about to succeed, the opponent hid in the Soul Binding Rope again. Suddenly, they were furious and angrily attacked the Soul Binding Rope that was wrapped into a ball.
But then, a powerful force rose up, and everyone was shocked. Before they could react, a hum like thunder exploded in their minds, and they were all stunned.
Li Wenru made her move. This "Hum" Technique was inherited from her master, the Second Elder of the Soul-Devouring Sect. Her cultivation level was not good enough originally, but now after being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, she could finally use it freely. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone from the Body-Refining Sect was in a daze, she raised her hands, and two bracelets, one gold and one silver, on her wrists flew out and hit the two Foundation Establishment Stages respectively. The bracelets looked ordinary, but the shock caused the two Foundation Establishment Stages to vomit blood and fly backwards.
At this time, the other foundation-building cultivators finally came to their senses from their stupor, and immediately calmed down when they saw this scene. Although they wanted to kill the ghost-faced man, they obviously had to deal with this woman first. Even if she had successfully built her spiritual foundation, she would still be unable to move as long as the shackles on her feet were not removed.
With more than a dozen of them who have established their foundation working together, there is still a chance!
Li Wenru gritted her teeth. She naturally knew the current situation. In fact, with her current level of cultivation, she could break free from the shackles on her feet as long as she spent some time, but the other party would never give her that time!
She had no other choice. This was an opportunity that Junior Brother Gu had fought so hard for, and she had to seize it. So even when facing the head-on attack of more than a dozen foundation-building masters, she had no intention of retreating. She had gold and silver bracelets wrapped around her body, and she raised her hand to hold a long sword, her eyes determined.
We can only fight!
On the other side, the battle was also going on, with swords flashing and fists whistling, leaving a ruined and devastated place wherever they passed. Compared to those cultivators who were building their mortal foundation, the power of these three who were building their spiritual foundation was much more terrifying.
Chen Zili was in a bit of a state of embarrassment at the moment. After all, he was fighting one against two, and the two opponents were no weaker than him. His disadvantage was getting bigger and bigger. However, there was no sign of retreat in his eyes. Instead, his fighting spirit became stronger and stronger, and his eyes became brighter and brighter...
"Young Master!"
In the distance, another powerful foundation-building expert flew out. He did not participate in the two battles, but went to the young master, and worked together with the young master, and quickly helped him break free from the ropes.
"Young Master, this is all the foundation-building spiritual fluid that I have collected in the past two days. My fellow disciples should still have some on them. Do you want to use it..."
"No, that's enough!" Qin Yunfeng took the vial and showed a satisfied look, then said, "Protect me..."
Qin Yunfeng sat down cross-legged on the ground and took out another small bottle. The two bottles together contained exactly one thousand drops of foundation-building spiritual liquid. Then his expression condensed and he drank it all in one gulp!
In the Soul Binding Rope, after Gu Xiaoxing had completely refined all the foundation-building spiritual liquid, what remained was a wisp of transparent strange energy. He knew that this was the innate pure energy.
The so-called foundation-building fortune refers to this innate pure energy. One strand can build a spiritual foundation, and one strand can build an immortal foundation. For example, an immortal foundation like the Earth Immortal Spring contains a strand of this innate pure energy!
The next step is to guide this wisp of innate pure energy into the Dantian Qi Sea, so as to truly begin to build the foundation!
The Qi Sea of an ordinary cultivator is naturally in the lower Dantian, but for Gu Xiaoxing, who is a soul-eating body, the Qi Sea is the soul-eating insect between his eyebrows. He guides this ray of innate pure energy to rise continuously, and when it approaches, the soul-eating insect seems to sense it, and trembles slightly as if it is very excited, and then it takes a sudden breath, sucking the ray of innate pure energy into it.
In an instant, Gu Xiaoxing seemed to feel that his soul trembled, and his whole body was violently shaken by the soul-eating insect. He felt an extremely strong sense of hunger. He took out the top-grade spirit stone without hesitation and crushed it. A large amount of spiritual energy gushed out of the spirit stone and was instantly devoured by the soul-eating insect.
In fact, it is possible to break through without spirit stones, but Gu Xiaoxing feels that just absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is too slow. Now is the time to race against time, and he can't care about anything else.
Three, five, ten, the Soul-Eating Insect turned into a giant mouth of the abyss, accepting everything and devouring it madly. And it was not just these high-quality spirit stones, a large amount of spiritual power between heaven and earth was pouring into the Soul-Binding Rope, and its devouring speed was even more terrifying than when Li Wenru broke through before, it was like a huge vortex of spiritual energy had formed.
Outside the Soul Binding Rope, the foundation-building practitioners of the Body Refining Sect were horrified and said, "This person is at the Immortal Foundation. Go all out and make sure to stop him!"
Li Wenru snorted coldly, and the might of a spiritual foundation expert erupted completely. Even though she was pale and had many wounds on her body, the opponents who were building their foundations were not feeling well either. They first fought with Gu Xiaoxing, and then had a fierce battle with Li Wenru, who was also building her spiritual foundation. Several of them had already fallen, and now there were less than ten people left.
At this moment, a vortex of spiritual power appeared again in another direction. Everyone was startled. When they looked, it was Qin Yunfeng. Everyone in the Body Refining Sect was immediately overjoyed and excited.
"Young Master has also begun to build his immortal foundation. Let's hold on for a while longer. As long as the Young Master succeeds in breaking through, none of them will be able to escape!"
Li Wenru's heart sank. If she didn't have the shackles on her feet, it would still take some effort, but she was confident that she could defeat these people who had reached the mortal foundation. However, her movements were blocked at the moment, and she didn't have time to break free from the shackles. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue fighting to the death!
Inside the Soul Binding Rope, Gu Xiaoxing was wealthy and powerful, and he did not feel any pain at all when he crushed fifty high-quality spirit stones in a row. Ever since he had mastered the path to wealth, he had become extremely rich in just twenty days after entering the Foundation Building Mountain. But gradually, he discovered something was wrong .
In order to build the foundation this time, Gu Xiaoxing made a lot of preparations. He flipped through all the books about foundation building in the Soul-Devouring Sect's library. One of the books recorded this: The ordinary foundation requires ten top-grade foundations; the spiritual foundation requires fifty; the immortal foundation requires five hundred; and those who are better than that can build a Taoist fetus.
In other words, the total amount of spiritual energy required to build the immortal foundation would not exceed five hundred high-grade spirit stones, but Gu Xiaoxing calculated that the total amount of spiritual energy he had absorbed at this moment was more than five hundred!
Through his "hard work" over the past few days, Gu Xiaoxing managed to accumulate more than two hundred high-quality spirit stones, all of which he crushed at this moment. He then took out more than a hundred from his storage ring, which he also crushed. Adding on the spiritual energy he absorbed from heaven and earth, the total amount is probably more than seven or eight hundred, right?
Moreover, it showed no intention of stopping and was still devouring the vast spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Gradually, Gu Xiaoxing became a little panicked. He felt that this was aimed at the so-called Dao fetus building in the book, but he had no idea what a Dao fetus was, and he hadn't seen it recorded in other books. Finally, his expression became ruthless.
"No matter what you are, since you want spiritual energy, I will give it to you!"
After the high-quality spirit stones were used up, Gu Xiaoxing took out a large amount of medium-quality spirit stones and crushed them...
Gu Xiaoxing did not know that there was another level above the Immortal Foundation, which was the Dao Fetus Building, also known as the Dao Fetus Foundation Building. Because this type of foundation building was too special, extremely dangerous, and difficult to achieve, only the big sects in the Nine Realms would consider it. Most of the small forces in the small wasteland had never even heard of it.
The Soul Devouring Sect was founded only two hundred years ago, and its foundation is still far behind. If it was the Sword Controlling Sect, they would definitely know some of the ins and outs of this, and know what kind of fortune it is to build an immortal foundation. If it is said that a strand of innate pure energy is needed, then one strand is needed. But Gu Xiaoxing thought that the more the better, and as a result, after absorbing nearly 1,200 drops of foundation-building spiritual liquid, he had one or two strands of innate pure energy.
It was these extra strands of innate pure energy that were slowly pushing the immortal foundation towards the direction of the Dao fetus. However, Gu Xiaoxing had no idea that building a Dao fetus was not so easy.
Without sufficient foundation, you will almost certainly die!
Didn't you see that none of the three major sects in the small wasteland had the idea of letting the younger generation build a Dao fetus? It was because they knew that they didn't have the foundation to build a Dao fetus!
Gu Xiaoxing was already a little crazy at this moment. All his tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones had been used up, but there was still no sign of stopping. His eyes were bloodshot, and he viciously took out a large number of low-grade spirit stones!
"I just don't believe it!"
The lower-grade spirit stones did not need to be crushed at all. They were almost devoured instantly after being taken out. As more and more spirit stones disappeared, Gu Xiaoxing was furious. He felt that all the "efforts" he had made during this period of time were in vain. In the end, when all the lower-grade spirit stones were used up, he was almost crying as he could not take out even one more spirit stone.
Gu Xiaoxing was almost in despair. The Soul-Eating Bug was like a bottomless pit. No amount of spiritual energy could fill it up. And it couldn't be stopped. Once the war outside was over, he would surely die!
But at this moment, the Soul-Eating Insect suddenly shook, and stopped absorbing the spiritual energy that was constantly flowing from the heaven and earth. Instead, it gradually sank into the center of its eyebrows, as if it had completely merged into the Niwan Palace in the upper dantian. Then, the innate pure energy that had been swallowed by the Soul-Eating Insect before actually slowly overflowed again, and finally formed a bumpy and incomplete disc at the bottom of the Soul-Eating Insect.
So...the placenta!
Although this placenta is a big defect...
And the soul-eating insect is like a fetus.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned and had no idea what was going on.
Normally, to build a foundation, one has to build a Dao foundation in the Dantian Qi sea in the body, so as to take root in heaven and earth and completely transcend the ordinary. Even for a soul-eating body, it is actually almost the same. One only needs to build a foundation in the body of a soul-eating insect. However, Gu Xiaoxing could not understand this special kind of Dao fetus foundation building at all.
The only thing we know is that with the appearance of the incomplete placenta, his strength has been rising continuously, gradually surpassing the Mortal Foundation, the Spirit Foundation, and even the Immortal Foundation...
