Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 439 The Primordial Embryo Enters the Sea
Diancui Mountain, a place frequented by Daoist practitioners, suddenly became bustling with activity after news of Jiang Chen's apprenticeship spread.

However, this lively scene had little to do with Jiang Chen. These miscellaneous matters were handled by Hong Yu and others. After returning from Qi Jue Island, he went directly into the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm, where he found peace and quiet.

At this very moment, within the secret realm, Jiang Chen sat upright in his spiritual abode, quietly cultivating himself.

At a certain moment, when his energy reached its peak, Jiang Chen looked inward and examined himself.

"open!"

His eyes reflected 108 orifices, like 108 stars. With boundless energy, Jiang Chen used the mysterious transformations as his weapon and slashed with his sword.

In the next instant, all 108 orifices vibrated, and the stars shifted. This shift seemed unpredictable, but in fact it followed a pattern. Each movement made the connection between these 108 orifices even closer.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen's mind was unconsciously drawn into it, and at this moment, he clearly saw the changes in his own acupoints.

And so, time passed silently. After an unknown period of time, the stars dimmed, and a unique, pure white sea was born within Jiang Chen's body.

"The Qi Sea has been formed."

Upon realizing this change, Jiang Chen felt a surge of joy. This sea of ​​qi was created by him using it to nurture the Xuan Whale. All he needed to do next was stabilize it, and he would have accomplished his mission.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a strange sensation, because he sensed an anomaly in his own Dao Foundation.

"According to the records in the Secret Method of Nourishing the Mysterious Whale in the Qi Sea, although opening the Qi Sea will shake the Dao Foundation, it will not have a great impact. But what about my Primordial Dao Foundation?"

Realizing something was wrong, Jiang Chen frowned.

He could feel his Dao foundation constantly resonating with his Qi Sea, as if the two were about to truly become one.

"From the current perspective, this is not a bad thing. Perhaps the root cause lies in the Hunyuan Yiqi Zhenjie technique."

With a sudden thought, following his own heart, Jiang Chen released his control over the Primordial Dao Foundation.

In the next instant, the Primordial Dao Foundation descended into the world like a primordial embryo, truly settling into the Qi Sea.

With a thunderous roar, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. The moment the Primordial Dao Foundation fell into the Sea of ​​Qi, the Sea of ​​Qi churned and its boundaries suddenly expanded, more than doubling in size again, truly possessing a vast and magnificent aura.

"The innate ability of embryonic breathing inherent in the Primordial Dao Foundation has been enhanced."

With each breath, a surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed in, and Jiang Chen felt the changes within himself. His Qi Sea acted as an amplifier, enhancing the embryonic breathing ability of his Primordial Dao Foundation. Or perhaps, the previous 108 acupoints had, to some extent, limited the capabilities of his Primordial Dao Foundation.

"I can now breathe freely in the womb. Even without consciously circulating my energy, I can maintain a shallow state of womb breathing. Every breath is a form of cultivation, an accumulation of spiritual energy."

In the blink of an eye, he refined spiritual energy into spiritual power. Jiang Chen felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. Refining spiritual power was always a tedious task for Dao Foundation cultivators, requiring years of accumulation. But Jiang Chen no longer felt that way.

"The time has come for me to break through to the late stage of the Dao Foundation stage."

A sudden inspiration struck Jiang Chen, and he naturally began to further refine his Dao foundation.

Meanwhile, outside, sensing Jiang Chen's change, Tao Yao's consciousness quietly awakened.

With a whoosh, the branches and leaves fluttered, realizing that Jiang Chen needed spiritual energy, Tao Yao used her own power to activate the spiritual veins, causing the spiritual energy of the entire secret realm to converge on Jiang Chen.

After doing all this, Tao Yao still felt it wasn't enough and turned her attention to the money tree.

Jiang Chen planted this money tree on the green mountain, where it absorbed the power of heaven and earth to grow. It thrived exceptionally well and had already produced three genuine spirit coins, which could be used to nourish the spiritual veins. "Come!"

With a flick of its branch, Peach Blossom knocked the three spirit coins down, but instead of absorbing them, it pulverized them.

With a thunderous roar, at the instant the spirit coin shattered, spiritual energy surged like a tide, and a faint trace of primordial energy was born. This trace of primordial energy was the fundamental reason why the spirit coin could nourish the spiritual veins.

Under Tao Yao's guidance, all the spiritual energy and primordial energy converged towards Jiang Chen. At this moment, the high-hanging spiritual palace shone brightly like the midday sun.

Seeing this scene, Tao Yao's anxiety was finally relieved. However, she did not relax. Instead, she spread out her spiritual sense completely and kept a close eye on Jiang Chen's changes.

And so, time flowed by silently, and the spiritual power within Jiang Chen's body began to increase.

"Congeal."

At a certain moment, when the time was ripe, Jiang Chen began to condense the Jade Tower. He had perfected the Six Qi Technique and understood the Dao and the principles. All he lacked was a little accumulation. At this moment, his spiritual power was abundant, and the late stage of the Dao Foundation was within his grasp.

With a hum, the spiritual energy underwent a qualitative change, spreading mysteriously. In the blink of an eye, the ninth jade tower took shape, and Jiang Chen's realm officially changed from the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation to the late-stage of the Dao Foundation. But this was not the end. After the ninth jade tower was formed, Jiang Chen pressed on and began to condense the tenth jade tower.

Jiang Chen continued until his Qi Sea stabilized, the efficiency of his breathing of spiritual energy greatly decreased, and he felt a slight fatigue in his mind before stopping his actions.

"Eleventh level of Dao Foundation, one step away from the perfect Dao Foundation, not bad."

Opening his eyes and reflecting on his own Dao foundation, Jiang Chen smiled. This time, seizing the opportunity to merge his Dao foundation with his Qi Sea saved him a lot of time.

“I have a Qi Sea, and my foundation is far deeper than that of ordinary cultivators. The twelfth level of the Dao Foundation is the limit of the Dao Foundation realm for ordinary people, but I can continue to accumulate spiritual power.”

"Once the cultivation is complete, one can enlighten the Xuan Whale and attempt to refine the Qi."

With these thoughts colliding, Jiang Chen gained a relatively clear understanding of his future cultivation. The secret method of nurturing the Xuan Whale in the Qi Sea mainly requires refinement, but it cannot be rushed. To truly unleash the power of this secret method, he needs to reach the Purple Mansion level, where his spiritual energy will undergo a transformation and become magical power.

Fortunately, his cultivation of the Primordial Dao Foundation was exceptionally compatible with his Qi Sea, allowing them to mutually benefit each other, thus his progress was much faster than normal.

Of course, all of this is predicated on him having a sufficient supply of resources.

"The second-tier spiritual vein is still a bit lacking. If there were a true third-tier spiritual vein in the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm, I might be able to achieve the Dao Foundation Perfection in one fell swoop this time."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Tao Yao.

Sensing that Tao Yao's aura had not yet fully returned to normal, a gentle look flashed across Jiang Chen's face.

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

With their thoughts intertwined, Jiang Chen comforted Tao Yao.

Feeling Jiang Chen's thoughts, Tao Yao was filled with joy.

Looking at Tao Yao like this, Jiang Chen's expression softened even more.

"We need to catalyze that spiritual embryo as soon as possible to make it a true third-order spiritual vein. This will not only benefit my cultivation, but also greatly benefit Tao Yao."

With his thoughts racing, Jiang Chen had an idea in mind.
