Chapter 124 Breakthrough Foundation Building [5K]
The most crucial thing is that the '斃' spell requires an ordinary person to consume 70% of their energy and blood and one year of their lifespan to activate, but Ye Linyuan's Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong is not afraid of such consumption, and it should take only three to five days to fully recover.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan did not hesitate and decisively activated the "斃" spell. In an instant, the blood-stained word absorbed Ye Linyuan's true energy and most of his blood, and even one year of his lifespan was sucked away.
Then he absorbed the essence and blood, and finally manifested a red blood shadow and disappeared.
"..."
At the same time, deep in the Qinghe Immortal Sect, the sect leader Taoist Xuanyu was practicing in seclusion.
Ever since Su Shaoyu's betrayal, Taoist Xuanyu has lost most of his power in Qinghe Immortal Sect. In recent years, the people in power in the sect have been replaced by Ancestor Yu and Ancestor Qian.
As for Taoist Xuanyu himself, he has been in seclusion in the ancestral hall in the back mountain for many years and no longer cares about worldly affairs.
If it weren't for the fact that Ancestor Yu and Ancestor Qian were not so skilled, the position of the head sect leader would probably have to be changed by now.
At this moment, Taoist Xuanyu was in the critical moment of his cultivation, when he suddenly felt panic in his heart, as if a disaster was about to happen.
"what happened?"
Taoist Xuanyu felt something was not good, but this was the critical moment of his energy practice and there was no time to stop and resist.
In an instant, he saw a blood-red ancient word emerge and suddenly fly into his heart.
"what--"
In just a moment, Taoist Xuanyu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and a trace of blood-red color appeared in his pupils. Then, most of his cultivation aura was cut off.
It was not until a long time later that Taoist Xuan Yu struggled to get up. His cultivation had fallen to the initial stage of foundation building. He said with great horror, "Who on earth dares to curse me like this?"
"..."
On the other side, Ye Linyuan slowly finished his training, his face turning a little pale.
He paid a high price to cast the Blood Soul Curse this time, but it was not difficult for him to recover.
What he didn't know was that Taoist Xuanyu was suddenly attacked by the Blood Soul Curse at the most critical moment of his cultivation, which caused him to make mistakes in his practice and damage his foundation, and his cultivation temporarily fell to the initial stage of foundation building.
It would take at least ten years to recover from such a serious injury.
The most crucial thing is that the injury to the foundation of Taoism is extremely difficult to recover. Even if the injury is recovered, the root cause of the disease is still difficult to remove, and it is hard to say how much of the strength of the middle stage of foundation building can be exerted in the end.
"Master Xuanyu has been seriously injured. Next, I will wait for his injuries to recover and the formation to be set up. Then I can start to break through the foundation-building stage."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, and then began to activate the Nine Sky Bright Moon to continuously recover from his injuries.
"..."
The Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong is indeed a miraculous healing technique. After just seven days, Ye Linyuan completely recovered from his injuries.
After making sure that he had no hidden dangers, Ye Linyuan walked out of the retreat room and began to investigate the core of the formation of the Seven Islands of Star Lake.
After this period of busy work, the Ye family has initially completed the arrangement of all the auxiliary array points of the Big Dipper Array, leaving only the nine most critical core array points that have not been successfully arranged.
"Three hundred and sixty formation flags and one hundred and twenty small formations have been successfully deployed. Only the last nine core formations are left. I will not be at ease unless you arrange them yourself."
Old Man Ye followed Ye Linyuan and checked each of the formations one by one. He couldn't help but speak with a serious expression.
Ye Linyuan nodded, and after checking all the array eyes, he set up a set of top-grade array equipment in the nine spirit eyes.
Finally, Ye Linyuan mobilized all the formation points and initially activated the formation.
"There is nothing wrong with the formation."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, then looked at Old Man Ye and said, "This formation has a certain degree of defensive ability, but it may not be able to defend it stably for a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
“If the formation is broken and everyone in the clan flees for their lives, my Earthly Evil Soul-confusing Formation and Heavenly Gang Invisibility Formation can still hold out for a bit.”
Old Man Ye shook his head, and then said: "I will take care of these things, you just need to focus on building your foundation."
Ye Linyuan didn't say anything more about this. He had some confidence in the Big Dipper Star Array that he had set up, and believed that it would be difficult for Ancestor Yu and Ancestor Qian to break through it in a short period of time.
After setting up the formation, Ye Linyuan summoned the core cultivators of the Ye family and began to arrange them to enter the formation one by one.
The nine cores of the Big Dipper Star Array, the six cores in the outside world are respectively controlled by Chu Lingxin, Ye Qinyang, Ye Qinchu, Ye Qinxin, Ye Huaixue and Ye Linze.
The three spirit eyes of Yejia Island are respectively controlled by Old Man Ye, Chu Lingxi, and Zhou Yuwan, three people who have reached the peak of Qi training.
Ye Linyuan's spiritual beasts, the golden-backed giant ape and the bright moon shell, are hiding beside the spiritual eye of the cave. Together with the Tiangang invisibility formation and the Disha bewitching formation, they will be Ye Linyuan's last line of defense.
"With this arrangement, no matter what the outcome is, it is the limit of what I can do in this lifetime."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, then returned to the cave's spiritual eye and prepared to start his retreat to break through.
Before going into seclusion, he first pushed the Disha Bewitching Array and the Tiangang Invisible Array to their limits, suppressing his own Dao-affected aura of breakthrough with all his strength, and then prepared to impact the Foundation Establishment Stage.
He first took out the Bright Moon Pearl from Bright Moon Shell, and then took out the Cang Hai Spring.
"Pearl of the bright moon, spring of the vast ocean."
"The most critical spiritual objects for building the foundation are already sufficient."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and began to examine himself again.
If a cultivator wants to build a superior foundation for the Tao, in addition to rare treasures with compatible properties, he also needs to look at his own three major foundations, namely the physical body, the true energy, and the soul.
Among the three major foundations, the Qi barrier is the foundation for achieving enlightenment, because if a cultivator wants to cultivate a superior foundation, he must have at least 365 Qi barriers as the first batch of foundation.
The physical body is the support for condensing the foundation of Taoism. If the cultivator's physical body lacks Qi and blood, the powerful true Qi at the time of breakthrough will cause his body to explode and die.
It is also because of this that cultivators must break through their foundation before turning 100 years old.
This is because the vitality of cultivators over a hundred years old is no longer strong, and they are simply unable to block the powerful true qi when they are trying to establish their foundation.
The spirit and soul are the key to breakthrough, because only a strong spirit and soul can control one's own true energy, and can drive the vast true energy to penetrate the dantian and enter it to condense the foundation of the great way.
"Before I open my Dantian, I don't need too much help from the outside world. Before that, I can make a breakthrough with all my strength."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then put the Canghai Spring and the Bright Moon Pearl aside, and used all his strength to mobilize his vast true energy.
In an instant, the 720 strands of true qi in Ye Linyuan's body swirled like a real dragon, flowing in his dantian like a mighty river.
During the breakthrough process, Ye Linyuan discovered that the breakthrough to the foundation in this life was very different from that in his previous life.
In his previous life, Ye Linyuan practiced the superior martial art, Fire Sea Golden Lotus Technique. The degree of condensation of his true qi was 50% stronger than ordinary gold-attribute true qi.
If the quality of water-attributed true qi is one, the quality of ordinary gold-attributed true qi is two, then the quality of the true qi of the Fire Sea Golden Lotus is three.
Such extremely condensed true qi made it as easy for Ye Linyuan in his previous life to break through as easy as eating and drinking. He penetrated his dantian directly like a piece of dry wood with great ease and completed the first step of foundation building with ease.
Such extreme golden true qi was also the reason why Ye Linyuan encountered problems in his previous life.
Because the magic power of the Fire Sea Golden Lotus is so overbearing, after reaching the Golden Core Realm, the quality of the magic power is even four times that of the water-attributed magic power of the same level, allowing Ye Linyuan to possess magic power quality comparable to most Nascent Soul True Lords.
Such an extreme means of killing, while bringing overwhelming combat power to those of the same level, also caused Ye Linyuan to suffer from the destruction of golden magic power.
But in this life, although the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong that Ye Linyuan practiced was powerful, the quality of his true Qi was far inferior to this one.
Even with the support of the Third Level Condensation Essence Art and the Water Spirit Pearl, he was only slightly over half of the level of his previous life, and could not penetrate his Dantian directly and destroy everything in his power.
Fortunately, the true energy of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong is strong and can bombard Dantian again and again, making up for the shortcomings of Ye Linyuan's insufficient true energy quality.
At this time, Ye Linyuan continued to circulate his true energy, and after five consecutive attacks, it finally pierced through his own dantian.
"Om-"
The moment it penetrated his dantian, Ye Linyuan suddenly felt a powerful internal energy surging into it. That powerful internal energy completely sank into his dantian like a dragon returning to the sea.
He quickly looked inside himself and found that his Dantian was like the beginning of the universe, filled with a gray mysterious gas. "The first step of building the foundation, opening the Dantian, has finally been completed."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then immediately started the second step.
He knew very well that opening the Dantian was only the first step in building the foundation. If the foundation could not be built as soon as possible, the Dantian would close again.
Before that, one must build the foundation of one's own great road in order to make this inner world completely stable.
"it's time."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then absorbed the Spring of the Vast Sea and the Pearl of the Bright Moon into his dantian, and then refined them with the shortcut spells of the Nine-Sky Bright Moon and the Autumn Water and the Long Sky.
As he refined them, the two rare treasures gradually began to disintegrate, constantly transforming into the purest Tao essence and origin, and were absorbed by the two shortcut spells.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Linyuan once again mobilized the power of his soul and spirit, constantly urging the true qi in his dantian to merge with it.
In an instant, the spring of the vast ocean, the pearl of the bright moon, the bright moon in the sky, the autumn sky, and the infinite true energy continued to merge and finally turned into a hazy Taoist platform.
It was a Taoist platform with natural Taoist aura, filled with the bright moon and the vast ocean, as if it was carved from the beginning by the Great Dao.
Ye Linyuan could clearly see that the Taoist platform manifested a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and derived an infinite ocean that filled his dantian.
It is located in the center of this world, floating in the vast ocean, with the bright moon hanging high above its head, and the sky is filled with moonlight and Taoist aura.
"The foundation of the great way is the bright moon in the vast ocean."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The so-called Daotai is the foundation of the great Dao for cultivators. The foundation is built on the foundation of the great Dao, so this state is called the foundation-building state by the world.
For a cultivator to break through the Golden Elixir realm, he would use the Dao essence on the Dao platform as his foundation and absorb the power of the creation of heaven and earth to give birth to the Golden Elixir of the Great Dao.
After the golden elixir is formed, the golden elixir turns into a primordial infant, and then the primordial infant can sit upright on this platform.
Therefore, this Taoist platform is the foundation of the cultivator's path and the most important foundation for practice.
From now on, all the Taoist essences cultivated from the Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Primordial Spirit, Refining Void, and even the Fusion, will be generated from this Taoist platform.
"The Foundation Establishment Realm is also called the Dao Platform Realm and Dao Foundation Realm."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and then he looked at the new foundation of the avenue, and suddenly he felt a sense of extreme hunger.
He understood that this was the initial stage of the foundation of the Tao, and energy replenishment was very scarce. If he could not replenish the spiritual energy in time, then this foundation would lose its power support and completely collapse into nothingness.
So next, he must absorb a huge amount of spiritual energy in order to completely stabilize this newly built Taoist platform.
"In that case, let's proceed to the last step."
Ye Linyuan suddenly opened his eyes and instantly activated the Big Dipper Star Array.
In an instant, the entire Star Lake's seven islands burst into dazzling light. They formed a super formation and began to madly absorb the spiritual energy of the entire world.
Within a radius of 800 miles, countless spiritual energy swept in like a moth to a flame, and finally poured into the Seven Islands of Star Lake, and finally poured into Ye Linyuan's dantian like crazy.
Ye Linyuan greedily absorbed the spiritual energy like a whale sucking water. These spiritual energies were sucked into his dantian without being refined. In a blink of an eye, they were condensed into drops of true energy, which were finally absorbed by his Taoist foundation.
Just when Ye Linyuan was taking the last step, Yu Qian, the two foundation-building masters far away in the Qinghe Islands, both noticed the unusual phenomenon.
The expression of the old ancestor Qian changed drastically, and he immediately said angrily: "Who on earth dares to build a foundation in my Qinghe Islands?"
After saying this, Patriarch Qian immediately stood up and went to stop him.
However, he was soon stopped by Taoist Yu. Taoist Yu looked gloomy and said solemnly, "Now the ancestor has been severely injured, and Senior Brother Xuanyu has been cursed by others."
"Since that person dares to break through now, he must be very confident of success. If you and I go there, we must be careful of this person's tricks."
"Brother, you are too cautious."
Taoist Qian had a gloomy face and said coldly, "If we let this person succeed in breaking through right under our noses, how can our Qinghe Immortal Sect survive in the Tianxing Sea?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Qian took a step into the air and flew towards the Seven Islands of Star Lake. Taoist Yu's expression changed again and again, and he could only follow him and fly towards the Seven Islands of Star Lake.
They flew all the way to the outside of the Seven Islands of Star Lake. Seeing the Big Dipper Star Formation that swallowed up the world, Ancestor Qian couldn't help but said angrily, "So many top-grade spiritual eyes, a super complex formation."
"They have probably been planning this for at least twenty years. What do your people do here, Senior Brother Yu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Patriarch Qian continued to activate his spiritual weapons and began to frantically attack the Big Dipper star formation in front of him.
Patriarch Yu's face turned pale and uncertain. The taxation of the seven islands of Xinghu was the responsibility of him, the seventh elder of the Yu family.
Now the Ye family has been cultivating seven top-grade spiritual eyes behind their backs and even set up a super formation. It is obvious that they have been planning this for many years.
Obviously, Patriarch Yu is also to blame for what happened today.
"Is this formation so difficult to break?"
At the same time, Patriarch Qian attacked the formation several times in succession, and immediately turned back to look at Patriarch Yu and said, "Senior Brother Yu, please help me break the formation quickly."
Upon seeing this, Taoist Yu also attacked the Big Dipper star formation.
The Big Dipper Star Array was composed of dozens of first-order formations, but it was still affected by the two foundation-building monks. It was likely that it would be completely broken sooner or later.
Seeing this, the old man Ye shouted to Taoist Yu: "Senior Yu, we are your own people, why are you attacking us?"
"The formation here was arranged by the seven elders of your Qinghe Immortal Sect together with that senior."
"Didn't Elder Yu tell the senior that once the senior has established his foundation, he would help him refine the foundation-building pill?"
When Taoist Yu heard this, he was unable to react for a moment.
Taoist Qian's expression changed drastically. He couldn't help but distance himself from Patriarch Yu. He said with a hint of fear on his face, "Senior Brother Yu, is what this person said true?"
Taoist Yu shook his head quickly, and then said, "You and I are brothers from the same sect. How could I betray Qinghe Immortal Sect? It must be that Yu Zihou who is betraying us."
In just a moment, the hearts of the two foundation-building masters present were turned upside down.
Taoist Qian suspected that Ancestor Yu had cooperated with the person who had broken through the foundation building here. After all, these seven top-grade spirit eyes and formations were obviously not something that could be arranged casually.
But if there is a traitor in Qinghe Xianmen, then the possibility of reaching cooperation between the two parties is still very high.
As for Patriarch Yu, he suspected that there was something wrong with the seventh elder, Yu Zihou. After all, judging from Old Man Ye's words and the known information, the person who built the foundation behind the Ye family seemed to be a spiritual plant husband.
This person prepared for many years and was finally able to break through to the foundation-building stage. To do this, he secretly used foundation-building pills to win over his own lineage.
But now it seems that the news about the Foundation Establishment Pill has not been reported, and it is very likely that the Seventh Elder wanted to keep it for himself.
"Damn Yu Zihou." Patriarch Yu's face was extremely gloomy. He immediately looked at Patriarch Qian and said, "Junior Brother Qian, it must be that Yu Zihou who deceived us. This matter has nothing to do with me, Senior Brother."
Patriarch Qian said nothing, but attacked the formation here while being on guard against Taoist Yu.
Seeing this, the old man Ye below immediately continued to speak: "Two seniors, please stop immediately. The person who built the foundation behind our Ye family is a spiritual plant husband."
"He is not good at fighting and will not pose any threat to you. Why don't you wait for him to complete his foundation building?"
"When you make friends, I can grow you precious second-level spiritual plants, not to mention foundation-building pills."
Taoist Yu said nothing, but there seemed to be a hint of excitement in his eyes.
As Elder Yu’s ancestor, he had also heard about the spiritual plant husband behind the Ye family. He originally thought that it was just a top-grade spiritual plant husband, but now it seems that it is far more than that.
But the old man Qian had a gloomy expression, and then he said: "In my Qinghe Islands, if you break through without asking for permission, you will be disobeying my Qinghe Immortal Sect."
"Brother Yu, don't waste your time talking to him. Kill him first and then make your plans."
