Free Web NovelChapter 13: Reaching Foundation Establishment Realm
At this moment, the devouring force from his spiritual root erupted, forming a dark purple gas vortex.
It came out of his stomach and wrapped the entire skeleton within a few seconds.
When his spiritual root appeared, Yuki snapped her eyes open.
She felt an insane devouring force from the surroundings that disturbed her merging process with the golden bead.
But when she saw dark purple gas, a weird expression appeared on her face.
She never thought Marx’s spiritual root was only at the mid-grade of Mortal Rank.
Of course, he could upgrade it. She could see what he was trying to do, but still, this level stunned her more than anything else.
Spiritual Roots didn’t just represent one’s cultivation speed. It also represented one’s potential.
Qi Sea Realm had nine stages, but every realm after that had four stages.
Because of this, the Spiritual Roots of different ranks had different upper limits.
It was possible to improve further beyond one’s spiritual root, but it would require enormous resources.
She was born with a Spirit Rank High-Grade Spiritual Root.
The Mortal Rank Low, Mid, and High-Grade Spiritual Root allowed cultivators to reach the early stage, mid stage, and late stage of the Qi Sea Realm.
Those with Top-Grade Spiritual Root could enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But improving their realm afterward was extremely difficult. So, one had to have Spirit Rank Spiritual Root to make any progress in this realm.
Spirit Rank Low Grade could cover the Foundation Establishment Realm, but only with Mid Grade could one enter the Golden Core Realm.
High Grade allowed one to enter the Nascent Soul Realm, but one would need Top Grade to enter the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
Earth Rank Low Grade allowed the cultivator to reach the Supreme Ancestor Realm. Mid Grade allowed the cultivator to reach the True King Realm.
High Grade allowed the cultivator to reach the Domain Emperor Realm, and Top-Grade allowed them to enter the Tribulation Ascendance Realm.
Only with the Heaven Rank Spiritual Root could one truly become an immortal.
These restrictions could only be broken through one method.
Pills!
Multiple kinds of pills could help one make progress. Of course, these pills consisted of poison that could lead to a slow death. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
But for cultivators, they were the only way to improve.
Sonya also had the same Spiritual Root as Yuki. They were also best friends before Sonya inherited the Golden Bead.
This golden bead was an extremely powerful treasure that not only gave her the Supreme Immemorial Thunder Body but also improved her spiritual root to Earth Rank Top Grade.
That meant she already had the ticket to reach the top of this world. She just needed to cultivate in peace.
But what both of them didn’t know was that this bead wasn’t about giving one a physique.
It was about evolving their bodies. That’s also why Jack took the risk of killing someone with a powerful background.
If he used that to improve his physique, he would not only improve his spiritual root but also gain a powerful physique.
Sonya got the Supreme Immemorial Thunder Body because she had a normal body but a Thunder Attribute Spiritual Root.
On the other hand, Yuki already had a hidden physique. Yuki hadn’t discovered it because it was an extremely scary physique.
[Nine Lives Rebirth Physique]
This physique allowed her to recover her body the moment she suffered serious injuries.
But because this physique was hated by Heaven for its incredible powers, it couldn’t be awakened.
So when Marx told her about the treasure, he wasn’t lying.
Her physique was a treasure. It helped her survive the tribulation, but it couldn’t save her body because she had not activated her physique.
Instead, her physique transferred all of its power into her soul for rebirth.
At this moment, this physique began to awaken.
Realizing the changes in her body, she quickly closed her eyes and focused on her cultivation.
As for whatever happened to Marx, she couldn’t care less.
Her body was the most important one.
At this moment, her soul was sleeping soundly in her sea of consciousness, but something powerful was stirring up in her soul.
Her body started devouring an enormous amount of spiritual energy. Fortunately, she had already taken the Foundation Establishment Pill.
It provided her body with an immense amount of spiritual energy, allowing her cultivation to rise.
Of course, this was as easy as breathing for her.
Because of that, she didn’t focus on her cultivation; instead, she tried to find out if she truly had something within her soul.
Upon reaching the seventh stage of the Qi Sea Realm, a cultivator could awaken spiritual sense.
But the spiritual sense was the simplest form of using the soul. At best, it could detect one’s cultivation and control items.
It couldn’t fully release the power of the soul.
So, before reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, one must do three things.
First, transform the gaseous Qi into liquid Qi. This would not only set an evolution for the Dantian, allowing it to get five or ten times bigger based on the purity of Qi.
Second, transform the normal body into a powerful body. By solidifying the blood Qi, one could infuse it with an enormous amount of spiritual energy to increase the life force.
Third, transform the spiritual sense into Divine Sense. By infusing Qi into the soul and increasing its potential, one could create the Divine Sense.
But all three of these steps had certain requirements. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
For example, if one wanted to compress the gaseous Qi into liquid Qi, one would need a lot of control, high-quality Qi, and a large amount of Qi.
That’s why only those with Top-Grade could ever hope to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. Because their spiritual root allowed them to fulfill all three conditions.
The second requirement was the body. One couldn’t be more than sixty years old to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If one did try after crossing sixty years, if their blood Qi wasn’t good enough, they could never solidify their blood Qi.
Without solidifying blood Qi, they couldn’t condense a veil of blood Qi around the bone marrow so that the bone marrow could continuously produce high-quality blood.
The third requirement was soul.
The soul was the most important part of the body. If it didn’t have the power to release soul energy, it wouldn’t be able to transform spiritual sense.
And unlike body or Qi, the soul couldn’t just be improved with normal Qi. It had to evolve the moment its gaseous Qi reserve transformed into liquid Qi.
Only liquid Qi had the purest form of life force energy to enhance the soul. After that, any more Qi would transfer its life force into the body.
So, one had to liquify their Qi, evolve their soul, and finally improve their life force.
Only when all three conditions were fulfilled could one truly reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Because she hadn’t awakened Divine Sense after her rebirth, she didn’t know the exact situation of her soul.
The Spiritual Sense only allowed her to see others’ cultivation and control the artifacts in her body.
But right now, as her body began to evolve through the power of the golden bead, her cultivation also improved.
The Qi in her Dantian began liquifying. She started drawing the liquid Qi into her sea of consciousness and tempering her soul with it.
The process was quite simple. At this moment, her cultivation technique also began to transform to a new level.
Primal Lightning Devouring Technique!
It was an ancient technique she got from Sonya. This technique allowed her to devour the lightning to improve her Qi.
At the same time, it could also be used to temper her body.
In another future, she only met Sonya again after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm and got this technique at the peak of this realm.
So she didn’t get to transform her body using the primal force of lightning, which wasn’t good for her since that primal force was extraordinary.
By using the liquid Qi in her body, it started producing white lightning all over her body.
But this lightning was quickly absorbed into her cells, slowly transforming her normal body into something else.
Of course, this didn’t count her physique, which was already evolving.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but eventually the evolution of her soul finished, and her Divine Sense awakened.
The moment it awakened, she felt a strange power inside her sea of consciousness. She peeked inside and found something.
It turned out to be a piece of paper latched in the depths of her soul. At the same time, she also realized it was because of this that she came to the past.
But it was due to her physique that her soul survived during the Divine Tribulation.
When she found the specialness of this paper, she didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry.
Because she wasted nearly a century, keeping this paper with her but never bothering to use blood binding on it.
