Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

After returning to the Realm of Sunset Glow, the matter of that transmigrator was no longer Li Xiaoyao's concern.

He was only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm and was not qualified to get involved in such important matters involving the system and visitors from other worlds.

After True Monarch Minghuang disappeared with the demiplane he held in his hand, no further news came.

Li Xiaoyao didn't inquire further.

All he knew was that his mission was complete—to investigate that anomalous dimension, report it to the sect, and let the sect handle the rest.

On the mission token, "Ding-796213" has turned gray and is now marked as "Completed". The merit has been credited to the account, and a generous sum of money has been earned.

The rest is up to you.

.......

Li Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in the quiet room behind Qixia Peak, with a storage ring floating in front of him.

Upon probing with divine sense, fifty fragments of a grotto-heaven were neatly arranged inside—law crystals left behind by a Purple Mansion-level alien race after their death.

It contains the core of a demigod's divine kingdom, fragments of a demon king's demon core, and all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

This was obtained from the Merit Pavilion after he spent eight million merits.

"The second supernatural power, [Visiting the Heavenly Curtain], is still 30% complete."

Li Xiaoyao murmured, "These fragments should be enough."

He took out a fragment of a fire-attribute cave, held it in his palm, and closed his eyes to refine it.

The fragments of laws contained within the fragments were peeled away one by one and merged into the [Yexiao Curtain] within his body.

The veil of radiant light, which had already solidified, became even thicker and more dynamic under the nourishment of the fragments of law.

One, two, three...

Time passed day by day.

It takes ten days to half a month to refine one fragment; it took three whole years to refine fifty fragments.

Three years later, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and waved his hand.

A curtain of rosy light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Qixia Peak. The curtain, seemingly both real and illusory, separated heaven and earth, forming its own distinct area.

Compared to three years ago, this curtain is more solid and more dynamic, as if it has come to life.

The second supernatural power, "Visiting the Heavenly Curtain," has been perfected.

Li Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction and looked at the remaining merit points—more than 20 million, enough for him.

Next, it's time for the third immortal foundation.

【Caihua Chen】This immortal foundation is the culmination of his century of deduction, formed by the fusion of seventy-two rays of light, possessing the vigor of the morning glow, the tranquility of the evening glow, and the ever-changing nature of the clouds.

But a celestial foundation is just a celestial foundation. To become a true supernatural power, it needs a transformation—ascending into the Yang realm and transforming into a supernatural power.

This process requires a large amount of spiritual energy.

Li Xiaoyao opened the exchange catalog of the Good Deeds Pavilion again. This time, he selected various natural treasures that could enhance spiritual power—Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk, Xuanhuang Mother Qi, Star Essence… He bought anything that could quickly replenish spiritual power and improve one's foundation.

After three months of back-and-forth and spending five million in good deeds, all I got in return was a bunch of bottles and jars.

Then, he went into seclusion.

.......

In the blink of an eye, another four years have passed. During these four years, Li Xiaoyao has made countless attempts to elevate [Caihua Chen] from a celestial foundation to a divine power.

Each time, he would consume a large amount of rare and precious herbs to maximize his spiritual energy, and then circulate his magic to attempt a breakthrough.

Failure, failure, and more failure.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

His century-long experience in simulations taught him patience. He knew that some things couldn't be rushed; the more hasty you were, the more likely you were to make mistakes.

One day in the fourth year, he sat cross-legged as usual and began to practice the [Caihua Chen] technique.

Seventy-two rays of light flowed within his dantian, like a magnificent river. With a slight thought, the river began to rotate slowly, then faster and faster, until it became increasingly turbulent.

suddenly--

"boom!"

An invisible barrier has been broken.

Those seventy-two rays of light were no longer simply flowing, but intertwining, merging, and transforming.

They surged from his dantian, permeated his limbs and bones, and finally condensed around him into a robe that was both real and illusory.

【彩华谌】.

From a foundation of immortality, it transformed into supernatural powers.

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, and his aura suddenly surged. The bottleneck of the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm shattered, and a brand new power surged out from his body, filling his limbs and bones.

The middle period of Zifu.

He looked down at the flowing, radiant robe he wore, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Seven years.

Three years to refine the fragments, four years to advance the immortal foundation.

It took seven years to go from the early stage of the Purple Mansion to the middle stage.

Worth it.

.....

After emerging from seclusion, Li Xiaoyao didn't rush to do anything, but instead rested for a few days.

He went to visit his elder brother, Li Mutian. Although the old clan leader had retired from the limelight, he was still in good spirits and had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from reaching the Purple Mansion realm.

Li Xiaoyao handed him the Mingyang Secret Technique jade slip and the pills he had exchanged. Li Mutian accepted them without saying anything, only patting him on the shoulder.

He then went to visit a few of the younger generation.

Li Xuanxuan's two sons, Yuanxiu and Yuanyun, have already begun their early education.

Li Xuanxuan specially brought them to kowtow to Li Xiaoyao. The two children were quite talented and both had spiritual roots, especially Yuan Yun, who faintly showed some water-related spiritual light.

Yuanbao and Qinghe, children of Li Xuance, are also a promising pair. Yuanbao has a fire elemental root, and Qinghe has a wood elemental root; both children are very clever.

Although Li Xuance had no spiritual roots, he was happier than anyone else to see that his children did.

Li Xuanling's son, Yuanping, was just learning to walk. He was a robust and chubby-faced boy, and also had a fire elemental root.

Li Xuanfeng's two sons, Yuan Yu and Yuan Qing, are a little older and have already begun to learn martial arts from their father.

Yuan Yu has a metal spiritual root, and Yuan Qing has an earth spiritual root; both are quite good.

Li Chijing's son, Xuanjiao, was already able to run and jump, and he pestered his grandfather every day to learn magic.

Everything is getting better.

Looking at these younger generations, Li Xiaoyao felt a faint sense of satisfaction.

This is home.

That day, he was sitting quietly on the back mountain when the Immortal Sect token at his waist suddenly lit up.

Li Xiaoyao looked down and raised an eyebrow slightly.

It was a message from the True Lord of Mount Tai, delivered in a solemn tone:

"Young friend Shangyuan, come to the Immortal Sect headquarters immediately, I have important matters to discuss."

Li Xiaoyao felt a chill run down his spine and immediately stood up, disappearing into the void.

......

Three days later, at the Immortal Sect headquarters.

Taiyue Zhenjun was already waiting for him at the agreed place.

To Li Xiaoyao's surprise, there were several familiar faces at the scene—Minghuang Zhenjun sat in the main seat, Shixu Zhenjun stood beside him, and there were several Golden Core Zhenjuns he did not recognize.

"Young friend Shangyuan, please sit." True Lord Minghuang gestured with his hand.

Li Xiaoyao sat down as instructed, a vague guess forming in his mind—it was most likely related to the time traveler from seven years ago.

As expected, True Monarch Minghuang got straight to the point:

"The story of that transmigrator from the ape world seven years ago has come to a conclusion."

Li Xiaoyao nodded and listened quietly.

True Monarch Minghuang continued, "In these seven years, the Immortal Sect conducted a thorough interrogation of him—soul interrogation, memory retrieval, and even a thorough search of his subconscious deep within his sea of ​​consciousness. That system was also completely stripped away and handed over to Fellow Daoist Shixu for disposal."

Lord Shixu nodded slightly and took over the conversation:

"That system calls itself the Civilization Enlightenment System, but it's actually a positioning device."

"Its true purpose is to mark the coordinates of the multiverse paradise behind it and collect the origin of the plane. The transmigrator himself is just a pawn being used."
