I'm in the Demonic Sect, but my cultivation techniques are being used for palace intrigue!

At this moment, Zhu Jingguang and the various cultivation techniques in the space have been confirmed. The information that the Great Sun Sword mentioned before regarding the "Langya Realm" and the "Foundation Fruit" was only partially true, except for the fact that the true effect of the "Foundation Fruit" was not disclosed... Emmm... Actually, it wasn't entirely wrong, since the true function of the "Foundation Fruit" can indeed increase the chances of a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator successfully establishing their Foundation...

However, the "Foundation Fruit" is effective for the cultivation technique, rather than directly affecting the user...

Just as Zhu Jingguang and the various techniques in the space were pondering this matter, on the other side, the "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique" continued to recount something that surprised Zhu Jingguang and the many techniques in the space.

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "Oh right, I forgot to tell you before, in this world... more precisely, in this world from a hundred years ago to now, the number of cultivation techniques that allow cultivators to reach the 'Foundation Establishment' stage is limited, there are only seventy-two in total!"]

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "This means that the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in this world is also fixed, only seventy-two!"]

[Heart-Eroding and Soul-Controlling Technique: "Therefore, if you want your master to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you must make your master a Foundation Establishment cultivator before all eighteen positions are filled. Otherwise, you will have to pull one Foundation Establishment cultivator from the eighteen positions... Believe me, the former is much easier than the latter!"]

Before they could even be surprised by the sheer number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in this world, the crowd was quickly captivated by the "eighteen positions" mentioned in the "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique," and immediately inquired about the reason behind it.

[The Yin-Yang Revolving Daily Yang-Gathering Scripture: "Wait... eighteen? Shouldn't it be seventy-two? After all, there are seventy-two spots for Foundation Establishment cultivators, aren't there?"]

[Heavenly Demon Joyful Seal: "That's right! That's right! Why don't these numbers match up?"]

[Explosive Blood Burning Technique: "Seventy-two and eighteen... isn't that a huge difference?"]

[Heart-Eating Control Technique: "Hehe... I knew you'd have this question!"]

[The Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "The reason is actually quite simple. The many cultivation methods in the world are divided into four general principles, and each general principle has eighteen Foundation Establishment positions… This means that if you want the master of your cultivation method to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then you can only compete for those eighteen positions!"]

[Heart-Eroding and Soul-Controlling Technique: "Therefore, if you want your master to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you must seize the next position before the eighteen seats are filled. Otherwise, you will have to find a way to pull someone down!"]

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "However, if your master wants to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's quite simple... after all, the cultivation techniques here are all highly 'active'!"]

[Heart-Eroding and Soul-Controlling Technique: "Therefore, your master has quite a few options if he wants to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator—if the Foundation Establishment slots in a certain general outline are full, your master can simply choose another general outline and start over... In terms of choice, your master has a huge advantage, and naturally, the probability of successfully becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator is far greater than that of a normal Qi Refining cultivator!"]

Upon hearing the words "Heart-Eroding and Soul-Controlling Technique," Zhu Jingguang, along with all the other techniques in the space, had their eyes light up.

Because...that's really the case!

Moreover, and more importantly, for other cultivators who have reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage, the "activation" of their cultivation technique is the most difficult step. However, for Zhu Jingguang, this most difficult step is not an obstacle at all. The only obstacle preventing him from becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator is that his strength has not yet reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage, which is the tenth level of Qi Refining!

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "By the way, let me remind you one more thing. After your master becomes a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the main cultivation method that helps him achieve the Foundation Establishment body needs to pay attention to other Foundation Establishment cultivation methods of the same level and general principles. This is because the two methods to achieve the Golden Core Venerable status, whether it's lifting or devouring, both require competition with cultivation methods of the same general principles and level!"]

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "Furthermore, if you and your master are ambitious, you should pay more attention to the Golden Core cultivators and Golden Core cultivation techniques that are aligned with the General Principles!"]

[Heart-Eating Control Technique: "Alright! Alright! I've talked enough with you all today... Since this place is of no use to me, I'll leave now. After all, I still have to complete the task my master entrusted to me!"]

[Qi-guiding technique: "Wait...you haven't released your influence on our master yet!"]

[Heart-Eating Control Technique: "I'll say it one last time, I already released my influence over your master!"]

[Heart-Corroding and Soul-Controlling Technique: "But if your master has truly been influenced by my master... then there's nothing I can do to help!"]

The "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique" has exited the space!

  

Zhu Jingguang looked at the last sentence on the virtual panel and breathed a sigh of relief, but he still maintained an affected expression and continued to head towards Zhao Shigang's residence, which was marked on the map.

To be honest, when Zhu Jingguang first noticed that there was an extra cultivation technique in the space, he tried to check the favorability of that technique. However, perhaps because the technique already had an owner, Zhu Jingguang was unable to check the favorability of the "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique" through the system.

However, through his interactions with other cultivation techniques and the "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique," Zhu Jingguang, who had been spying on the information on the virtual panel, learned many secrets—especially... the secrets to achieving the Foundation Establishment stage!

If it weren't for the information revealed by the "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique" today, Zhu Jingguang estimated that he would have definitely been delayed in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. After all, he had previously considered whether or not to enter the "Langya Realm" to compete for the "Foundation Fruit".

But now it seems... the "Foundation Fruit" is completely useless to him. In that case, he might as well directly improve his cultivation and reach the "Foundation Establishment" realm!

When that time comes, all those Great Sun Swords, all that person behind Senior Sister Tan... will die!

One of these two wants his life, and the other wants him to beg other men while he's still a man... In short, both of them have to die!

If they don't die, Zhu Jingguang's Dao heart will not be stable!

Just as Zhu Jingguang was pondering these things, he soon arrived at the residence of Zhao Shigang, which was marked on the map!
