Starting with the creation of the Immortal Clan through the compilation of the family genealogy.

Chapter 98 Five Elements Foundation Building, Initial Formation of the Dao Foundation

Yun Songzi instinctively wanted to take action, using his own Golden Core cultivation to forcefully suppress the rampaging spiritual power within Meng Xihong's body.

But just as he raised his hand, he suddenly stopped.

His cloudy old eyes stared intently at Meng Xihong, filled with shock and disbelief.

What did he see?
Around Meng Xihong, five colors of spiritual light—green, yellow, red, blue, and gold—flashed and clashed wildly, like a revolving lantern, creating utter chaos.

But at the heart of this chaos, a glimmer of light remains steadfast, like a candle flickering in the wind, stubbornly refusing to be extinguished.

What made him even more uneasy was that he could clearly sense that Meng Xihong's soul had not collapsed in the clash of spiritual power, but was instead protected by something, which then forcefully sorted out and analyzed the five different types of power in an extremely domineering way.

"What...what is this kid doing?" Yun Songzi's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "He...he's deducing cultivation techniques while simultaneously establishing his foundation?"

This discovery caused Yun Songzi, a powerful cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years, to feel that his worldview had been shaken like never before.

"A madman! A complete and utter madman!"

He muttered to himself, but eventually slowly lowered his hand, looking at Meng Xihong with a complicated expression, a mixture of worry and a hint of expectation that even he himself was unaware of.

"Alright, alright, you have more secrets than I've ever known. Whether you're a dragon or a snake depends on your own fate."

At this moment, Meng Xihong was completely immersed in the deduction of the Great Dao.

He seemed to have transformed into a creator. In his sea of ​​consciousness, the vitality of wood, the weight of earth, the explosiveness of fire, the fluidity of water, the sharpness of metal... the five most fundamental laws were forcibly dismantled, analyzed, and recombined by him using the [Literary Spirit and Character] as a carving knife and the [Immortal Bones] as a blueprint.

This is an incredibly painful and dangerous process.

His soul was torn apart by repeated failed deductions, but was forcibly mended under the protection of the family genealogy and his unwavering will.

I don't know how much time passed; it felt like a moment, yet also like ten thousand years.

When the five elemental powers finally flowed slowly within his sea of ​​consciousness along a profound and perfect trajectory, forming a perpetually generating five-colored ring...

Meng Xihong's mind suddenly cleared up!
"The Dao has been achieved!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a five-colored divine light flashed in them.

Without further hesitation, he activated the newly developed technique within his body.

The Five Elements Opening Heaven Scripture!
This is the name he gave to his own cultivation technique.

As the new cultivation technique was put into practice, the five elements of spiritual energy within his body, which had been mutually restraining and in a chaotic state, instantly found their center.

They no longer collide or repel each other, but instead, like rivers flowing into the sea, they converge in unprecedented harmony and smoothness, forming a more magnificent and condensed torrent interwoven with five colors.

"Give it to me...break it!"

Meng Xihong let out a roar that came from the depths of his soul.

That torrent of five colors, like a divine axe that split the heavens and the earth, crashed fiercely into the already cracked barrier between the immortals and mortals.

Boom!

A loud bang did not come from the outside, but exploded in Meng Xihong's dantian, resounding deep within his soul.

That seemingly indestructible, invisible barrier separating immortals and mortals finally shattered before the torrent of five-colored spiritual energy governed by the Five Elements Opening Heaven Scripture.

The boundless spiritual energy, like a tiger breaking free from its cage or a dragon breaking free from its shackles, roared and surged into a brand new world.

At this moment, Meng Xihong's dantian and qi sea underwent a dramatic transformation.

The originally liquid ocean of spiritual energy, upon breaking through the barrier, seemed to be drawn by some supreme power, and began to collapse, rotate, and condense wildly towards the center.

A huge five-colored vortex formed within his dantian.

Azure, yellow, red, blue, and white—five colors of spiritual light intertwined and complemented each other, endlessly cycling and radiating an ancient and harmonious Daoist aura. Meng Xihong could clearly feel that his essence, energy, and spirit, along with his indestructible martial will, were all drawn into the vortex at this moment, being tempered and refined along with the vast five elements of spiritual power, forging them into a completely new whole.

This process is both painful and wonderful.

His body was as if it had been thrown into a furnace of heaven and earth, and every inch of his flesh and every bone was being reshaped.

His soul was as if it were being soaked in warm spring water. The damage caused by forcibly deducing the cultivation technique was being repaired at an astonishing speed, and was constantly being sublimated and strengthened.

Time lost its meaning at this moment.

Meng Xihong was completely immersed in this leap in his life level.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, when the enormous five-colored vortex within the dantian had completely devoured the last trace of liquid spiritual power, all the light and all the energy suddenly contracted towards the center.

hum-

A soft cry.

At the very center of Meng Xihong's dantian, a rhombus-shaped crystal, about the size of a longan, with a chaotic, glassy color and faintly flowing five-colored Dao patterns, floated quietly.

Daoji!

This is the foundation of cultivation that cultivators dream of.

In the world of cultivation, the foundation of one's cultivation is also divided into three, six, and nine grades.

A low-grade Dao Foundation has a mottled color and its spiritual energy circulation is obscure; a mid-grade Dao Foundation has a single pure color and is already a sign of a good person.
The superior Dao Foundation is radiant and pure in spiritual energy. When activated, it overflows with precious light. Its spiritual energy reserves and recovery speed are several times that of the middle grade.

However, Meng Xihong's Dao Foundation was different from others.

It is not any single color, but rather presents a chaotic, crystal-like hue that encompasses all things. The five-colored Dao patterns flow slowly across it, endlessly generating each other, forming a perfect cycle.

With a slight thought, Meng Xihong activated his magical power.

The Dao Foundation trembled slightly, but instead of emitting the dazzling single precious light of a superior Dao Foundation, it spread out a layer of seemingly dim, yet containing endless profound chaotic divine light.

Within this layer of divine light, Meng Xihong clearly felt that his magical power reserves were as vast as the sea, far surpassing those of a high-grade Dao Foundation.

This is... a perfect Dao foundation!
The instant the Dao Foundation took shape, a magical power more than ten times stronger than before emerged from the Dao Foundation and instantly flowed throughout Meng Xihong's limbs and bones.

His physical body crackled and popped under the influence of this new magical power. His skin became more translucent, his bones became more solid, and his internal organs emitted a faint, precious light.

At the moment of successful Foundation Establishment, the body, which had reached the sixth level of Body Tempering, showed a faint tendency to advance towards the seventh level, "Tempering the Five Internal Organs"!

At this moment, the combined cultivation of immortality and martial arts truly demonstrated its terrifying power, where one plus one is far greater than two.

What delighted Meng Xihong even more was that his spiritual consciousness, like an eagle breaking free from its cage, burst out of his body and spread wildly in all directions!

One mile, five miles, ten miles...

Ultimately, his divine sense steadily covered an area of ​​fifteen miles in radius.

The breath of mountains and rivers, the chirping of insects, fish, birds and beasts, even the flow of spiritual veins deep underground... everything within a radius of fifteen miles became clearly visible in his perception.

This is the mark of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Release your spiritual consciousness!

A cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment is considered to have a solid foundation if their divine sense can cover a radius of five miles. But he, having just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, can already extend his divine sense to fifteen miles, three times that of an ordinary cultivator.

"Is this... Foundation Establishment?"

　Thank you so much, Long Jiang, for the monthly pass!
