Chapter 178 Late stage of foundation building
"With this Mysterious Soul Butterfly as a trump card, Daoist friend, I'm afraid your confidence will be increased when you enter the secret realm this time."
"Even if he breaks through to the Golden Core stage someday, it will give him a bit more confidence."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly and couldn't help but smile.
Ye Linyuan actually expected that Liu Xuanheng had a trump card.
After all, those who are determined to break through to the golden elixir stage are the chosen ones of heaven and cannot be compared with those ordinary people who have reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage.
Such people often prepare multiple back-up plans and have a large number of methods to protect themselves, so that they can successfully break through the golden elixir realm.
Formations, puppets, spirit beasts, spirit insects, and fellow Taoists are the most common and most reliable means of protecting the Dao.
In other words, without these back-ups and trump cards, rashly trying to reach the Golden Core realm would be tantamount to committing suicide.
Those powerful Jindan masters may be afraid of being bitten by poisonous insects, but they won’t mind crushing an ant.
If you want to survive, the best way is to turn yourself into a poisonous ant, so that the Jindan masters can feel a hint of danger. This way, they may feel afraid and not take action.
"Brother Ye."
Liu Xuanheng suddenly spoke, looked at Ye Linyuan and said: "When he breaks through the foundation building stage in the future, he may need to ask for help from fellow Taoist."
Ye Linyuan did not answer immediately, he understood what Liu Xuanheng meant.
The fake elixir puppet is Ye Linyuan's most powerful weapon, and it is also the only trump card in their hands that can pose some threat to the Golden Core Masters.
But this is also very dangerous. Once the fake pill puppet is sacrificed and still fails, Ye Linyuan is likely to lose the fake pill puppet completely.
So Ye Linyuan still didn't make a promise to him. Instead, he pondered for a long time and said, "We have to wait and see for the time being. We'll make plans after the Blood Prison Forbidden Land comes out."
"it is good."
Liu Xuanheng nodded without saying anything else. He bowed and said goodbye.
Not long after Liu Xuanheng left, Shui Hanqing looked at his back and said thoughtfully, "This Liu Xuanheng has a lot of cards up his sleeve. I wonder if he can succeed in breaking through?"
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, but did not say anything.
In fact, he didn't have much hope for Liu Xuanheng's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.
Perhaps Liu Xuanheng may have more trump cards, but breaking through the golden elixir is a life-and-death catastrophe, and the catastrophe he needs to face is too terrifying.
Firstly, there is a probability of failure in breaking through the Golden Core stage. Secondly, Liu Xuanheng’s enemies will not allow him to break through. Furthermore, the Golden Core Tribulation is also extremely dangerous.
Even if he passed these three levels, Liu Xuanheng still had to face the unfathomable enemy among his fellow practitioners.
Ye Linyuan in his previous life was so amazing that he could kill all opponents of the same level with one move of pseudo-magical power, the Wanhua Sword Technique. When he reached the great perfection of foundation building, he once defeated the fake Dan Zhenren head-on.
He prepared for the Golden Core Tribulation for nearly a hundred years, but in the end he could only barely escape the pursuit of the powerful enemy after paying a huge price.
Of course, Ye Linyuan’s fellow enemy in his previous life was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and Liu Xuanheng’s fellow enemy is weaker in cultivation, so the difficulty may be less.
But Ye Linyuan always believed that unless Liu Xuanheng found an opportunity similar to the fake pill puppet in the Blood Prison Secret Realm, his hope of success in the end would not be too great.
"The human race's breakthrough relied too much on the environment of heaven and earth, and the movement was too big."
"Fortunately, the demon clan relies on the power of their bloodline, so the noise they make when breaking through the Jindan realm is much smaller. Perhaps they can break through secretly here." Ye Linyuan sensed the cold Chi, and an idea came to his mind.
According to his estimation, if the human race made a breakthrough on this deserted island, the Jindan demon race within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles would be able to sense it.
The bloodline of the true spirit descendant of Han Chi can attract monsters within a radius of 50,000 miles at most when it breaks through the golden elixir. If combined with the suppression of the formation, the movement may be shortened to 30,000 miles.
Of course, if there are fellow practitioners, following the mysterious divine sense, the other party's sensing range is likely to increase tenfold.
"There may not be any Golden Core monsters within a radius of 30,000 miles, and it is unknown whether there are any Fake Core sea beasts. If there are Fake Core puppets and formations to protect the way, it is already worth the risk to break through."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, but then he suppressed the thought. At this moment, a breakthrough was the most important thing.
He calmly stepped into the cave, and after sensing that the spiritual energy stored there was still sufficient, he began to break through to the late stage of foundation building.
With Ye Linyuan's strong foundation, there is no bottleneck in breaking through the late stage of foundation building.
Originally, due to the insufficient quality of mana, it might have taken some more effort, but after refining the Xuanjin Sword Embryo to make up for the insufficient quality, Ye Linyuan could almost be said to have broken through the bottleneck in one go, and instantly broke through to the late stage of foundation building.
"It's done."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and taking advantage of the opportunity of the breakthrough, he began to frantically swallow the spiritual liquid in the spiritual pool.
As he continued to devour, his own cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds. After completely digesting the foundation of the breakthrough, Ye Linyuan found that he already possessed more than 560 true essences.
"Five hundred and sixty-three true essences."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
With this breakthrough, he increased his true essence by 131 out of thin air, and the quality of his true essence also increased by 50% from the original level. His overall strength had undergone a huge qualitative change compared to before.
Originally, his combat power was roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, but now he is comparable to a top Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, and his strength is enough to rival that of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator who majors in gold and fire.
“This doesn’t even count as a formation.”
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
His direct combat power is comparable to that of the Great Perfection of Gold Foundation Establishment, and his endurance and healing abilities are comparable to that of the Top Water Foundation Establishment. Ye Linyuan's overall strength has almost reached the top level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If you take one or two more steps forward, you will be able to fight against the fake elixir level.
"But I'm afraid that the speed of cultivation will have to slow down from now on."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
After breaking through the late stage of foundation building, the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong has five times the magic power of the same level, which means that more than 1,800 true essences are needed to reach the great perfection of foundation building.
Ye Linyuan only has 562 paths now. Even if his cultivation speed increases by 50% again after breaking through the late stage of foundation building, Ye Linyuan will need 187 years to reach the great perfection of foundation building without taking any elixirs.
Taking a medium-grade Xuanyuan Pill can only shorten the time by about forty to fifty years. If you take a high-grade Xuanyuan Pill for a long time, the time can be shortened to within sixty years.
"Under the current conditions, if we are willing to consume the Xuan Yuan mother plant and can barely use the middle-grade Xuan Yuan Dan and the upper-grade Xuan Yuan Dan in half, we should be able to reach the great perfection of foundation building before we are two hundred years old at the latest."
