At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

After leaving the mission hall, Ling Xiu went to the market to replenish some elixirs and talismans, just in case.

The next morning, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Ling Xiu, dressed in gray, put the "Concealing Dust Robe" over his outer garment and looked back at the Qingyun Sect.

Having spent several years practicing here, I am now leaving again, and I have many feelings in my heart.

He left quietly without telling anyone.

Ling Xiu summoned the Thunderclap Sword. With his current cultivation level, his body was surrounded by a vast surge of magical power. He rode the flying sword and sped away into the distance.

A fierce wind howled; this was the first time he had truly mastered the use of a flying sword.

A fierce wind swept across the land, and his speed was extraordinary, heading straight for the Mysterious Realm and the Four Forbidden Lands.

That area is extremely dangerous; it is the site of an ancient battlefield.

……

The flying sword sped through the air, passing deep into the Mysterious Realm, and came to rest in a barren valley on the edge of the ancient battlefield.

This place has scarce spiritual energy and chaotic order, so very few cultivators set foot here. It is secluded and quiet, making it an excellent place for closed-door cultivation.

The entrance to the cave in the valley is covered with piled-up rocks and dense vines, making it extremely hidden.

Ling Xiu immediately set up the Great Sumeru Nine Palaces Qimen Formation outside the cave.

This array was a strange formation he had purchased at the market for over seven hundred spirit stones. He used nine mid-grade spirit stones to steadily set up the array eyes according to the nine palaces.

An invisible array of fluctuations quietly spread, enveloping the entire cave entrance and a surrounding area of ​​several tens of meters.

The array's spiritual light is contained within, making it appear no different from an ordinary mountain wall from the outside. It not only conceals all traces but also completely hides the aura of cultivators.

"With this protective formation, our safety is greatly enhanced!"

To ensure absolute safety, Ling Xiu added several more traps and restrictions outside the cave.

If any person or monster approaches rashly, not only will they be trapped in the restriction, but an early warning will also be triggered immediately, alerting the monster to its presence.

Only after taking all necessary precautions did he feel completely at ease.

The Great Sumeru Nine Palaces Qimen Formation can perfectly conceal one's aura. Even if a cultivator accidentally enters the formation, he will lose his way and be trapped inside, unable to escape.

The array's defensive capabilities are also remarkable, enough to withstand a full-force attack from a True Condensation Realm cultivator.

This is also the fundamental reason why Ling Xiu was willing to spend seven hundred spirit stones to buy this formation.

Everything is ready.

Ling Xiu entered the cave, cleaned it up briefly, then swallowed two Qi-Nourishing Pills, sat cross-legged, and officially entered a state of cultivation.

He mobilized the Void Origin Longevity Mantra, which was at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in his dantian. The mantra surged like a mighty river, repeatedly impacting the barriers of his cultivation realm, attempting to overcome the insurmountable chasm of cultivation that lay before him.

The Qi-Nourishing Pill was enough to keep him from feeling hungry for several days and stabilize his physical condition.

A moment later, he took out another top-grade True Essence Pill and swallowed it.

The Yunzhen Pill melts instantly upon entering the mouth, and a torrent of pure and powerful medicinal energy sweeps through the body, containing profound true essence, as if opening up a new world within the body.

Refining Qi and Condensing True Essence involves transforming mortal Qi into true essence. Within the dantian, newly generated pure true essence continuously washes over the physical body and fills the sea of ​​Qi.

boom!

Ling Xiu's body suddenly trembled. His dantian was filled with the powerful medicinal essence, almost bursting out of his body. An extreme feeling of expansion swept over him.

But his resolve was unwavering, and he was no longer afraid of the pain of cultivation.

He frantically activated the "Void Primordial Longevity Technique," using the power of longevity to guide the torrent of violent medicinal energy.

The energy surges through the meridians, condenses and washes away impurities, then is compressed and circulated throughout the body's meridians and acupoints, refining the purest true essence and magical power.

The Condensation Realm is the root of the Foundation Establishment Path.

Transforming mortal energy into true essence is one of the most difficult transformations on the path of cultivation.

The core of this realm is to condense the true essence immortal seed in the dantian, laying the foundation for building a Dao foundation and stabilizing the path to immortality in the future.

Ordinary cultivators need a hundred days to solidify their foundation, and those with shallow foundations need even longer.

This step represents the ultimate transformation for mortal cultivators as they truly embark on the path to immortality.

Time slips away quietly.

Ling Xiu sat quietly in the cave, surrounded by spiritual light, his true essence surging like a torrent or a volcanic eruption.

Under the tempering of medicinal power and true essence, the physical body undergoes a tremendous transformation.

The accumulated grime in the body is constantly expelled, and the bones throughout the body emit a fine, crisp sound, becoming increasingly tough and strong.

Flesh and blood, meridians, and acupoints throughout the body all receive an ultimate baptism.

The physical body is constantly improved through repeated tearing, damage, reconstruction, and repair.

The meridians become wider and smoother, the acupoints become firm and stable, the flesh and muscles become delicate and tight, and the surface wrinkles and dead skin peel off layer by layer, and the body undergoes a complete transformation.

On the thirteenth day, Ling Xiu swallowed the second top-grade True Essence Pill.

The combined, powerful medicinal effects continuously refine and solidify the foundation of one's cultivation, bringing the opportunity to break through to the point of true cultivation ever closer.

Within his dantian, a tiny, pure seed of true essence slowly took shape.

Another month passed, and the third top-grade True Essence Pill entered his stomach.

The true essence seed within the dantian grew stronger once more, its contained true essence becoming increasingly abundant and powerful, settling steadily at the bottom of the dantian.

The outer layer of the seed is surrounded by a warm, liquid film of true essence, which gently emits spiritual light and slowly solidifies like a heartbeat.

After that, Ling Xiu completely immersed himself in the task, focusing on refining the true essence seed within his dantian.

March, April... Time passed silently, and he isolated himself from all the disturbances of the outside world.

Quietly contemplate the profound truth of spiritual transformation.

Whenever the True Essence Seed loses its luster and its medicinal power diminishes, he immediately swallows a top-grade True Essence Pill to replenish his strength.

Such extravagant spending of top-grade True Essence Pills would surely shock and astonish outside cultivators if they knew about it.

Ordinary cultivators would regard even a common True Essence Pill as a treasure, enough to make countless cultivators stuck at the peak of Qi Refining and eager to break through to True Essence Fragrance frantically fight for it, let alone a top-grade True Essence Pill with the ultimate medicinal power!

When the eighth top-grade True Essence Pill entered his body for refining, a shocking change suddenly occurred within Ling Xiu's body!

The true essence seed, which was originally only the size of a soybean, has now swelled to the size of an egg.

Its entire body radiated brilliant light, and it autonomously and frantically devoured the liquid true essence around it, as well as the profound cultivation foundation he had accumulated over the years.

The seeds rapidly solidified, their spiritual light blazing brightly, like the most dazzling stars in a vast galaxy, shining brilliantly.

As the foundation of the Dao continues to solidify and elevate, the radiant halo surrounding the True Essence Seed expands layer by layer and spreads outward several times over.

In the cultivation world, the foundation of true cultivation is divided into grades: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, top grade, and supreme grade, with the number of layers of true essence rings determining the level.

The rings below the third level are considered low-grade Dao foundations, the third to sixth levels are mid-grade, and the sixth to ninth levels are high-grade.

At this moment, Ling Xiu's true essence ring had already broken through the ninth level of the limit, transcending the superior grade and surpassing the supreme grade!

Even the most outstanding geniuses with Heavenly Spiritual Roots can only reach the ninth level of the highest grade of Dao Foundation, with no possibility of further advancement.

However, Ling Xiu possesses an unparalleled supreme spiritual root, and the transformation of his Dao foundation is far from over!

Nine outer rings, one layer, two layers... all the way to the ninth layer!

Nine layers and nine rings of light!

A heaven-defying true essence seed has taken shape, its foundation is perfect and flawless, its entire body is surrounded by a radiant light, flowing with a peaceful and profound Dao rhythm of heaven and earth, containing extremely powerful true essence power, causing the entire world's Great Dao to resonate!

This is a legendary, once-in-a-millennium, top-grade Dao Foundation!

boom!

Within his dantian, the seed of unparalleled true essence suddenly trembled violently.

A terrifying, domineering, vast, and uncontrollable power suddenly erupted from within him!

Centered on Ling Xiu, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles instantly became chaotic and violent.

The turbid and disordered spiritual energy of heaven and earth, mixed with the murderous aura, evil energy, and chaotic malevolent energy left over from the ancient battlefield, was all frantically devoured and gathered by a huge vortex of spiritual energy.

The giant vortex of spiritual energy, like a gluttonous beast, enveloped the entire valley and cave, and endless spiritual energy poured into Ling Xiu's body like a tidal wave.

Ling Xiu's physical body seemed to transform into a bottomless abyss, frantically absorbing massive amounts of energy.

He had no time to think further and focused all his energy on circulating the "Void Primordial Longevity Technique," refining all the mixed spiritual energy, baleful energy, and malevolent energy that surged into his body into pure longevity true essence power.

The energy continuously flows into the top-grade Dao Foundation of the nine layers and nine rings, thoroughly solidifying the foundation and stabilizing the cultivation of the True Condensation Realm!
