Chapter 187 Foundation Building, Styx Spiritual Power
On Mount Qiulan.
Dark clouds stretched for over a hundred miles, with flashes of golden lightning and rolling thunder sweeping in all directions.
boom!
Deep in the back mountain of the Four Seasons Academy.
An astonishing surge of spiritual energy emanated from the mountain, where a vortex of spiritual energy covering an area of three or four miles in the surrounding area appeared.
After the vortex forms.
It attracted all the aquatic spiritual energy within a radius of more than ten miles around it.
now.
After sensing the change in the light between heaven and earth, the residents of Qiuye Town looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was now covered by patches of blue clouds.
Almost all Qi Refining cultivators could sense the restlessness of the spiritual energy in the world.
Some cultivators who practiced water-based techniques immediately sensed that the water-attribute spiritual energy in the surrounding天地灵气 (heaven and earth spiritual energy) suddenly began to surge, with its concentration being several times greater than usual.
The water-element cultivator felt extremely comfortable.
Meanwhile, cultivators practicing other elemental techniques, especially those using fire-based techniques, felt a sense of oppression.
That overwhelming power of heaven and earth made their hearts sink.
It felt like a huge boulder was pressing down on me.
"What is that!?"
"It's a celestial phenomenon indicating the foundation-building stage!"
"Yes, that's right, someone has advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage on the back mountain of the academy!"
"Now that the celestial phenomena have been formed, this foundation building has entered its later stages."
"One mountain, four foundations."
"Our Autumn Mist Mountain is about to have its fourth Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
In several courtyards in the town, a few demon cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining emerged, their faces filled with excitement as they gazed at the Foundation Establishment celestial phenomenon that appeared in the sky, their eyes revealing a hint of longing.
Advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage not only doubles one's lifespan and increases one's strength, but also allows one to step out of this surrounding world.
Their families can also benefit from this.
"Who is it?"
Among these late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, a gray-haired old wolf revealed a hint of doubt in its eyes.
Simultaneously.
The images of several demon cultivators entering the upper dormitory of the academy flashed through his mind.
"Do you all remember that spirit monkey who tested positive for a second-tier bloodline twenty years ago!?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar in a blue robe, with a raccoon tail behind him, spoke up.
"I know."
"It caused quite a stir for a while, and since then, the number of Qi Refining cultivators coming to join our Qiulan Mountain has increased."
"It can be said that they've made a name for themselves."
"During that period, many cultivators from White Tiger Ridge, when they came to our town to do business, inquired about that mountain lord's disciple!"
"The other party's information is basically public."
"Even one of the talisman masters in our talisman shop has some connection with Su Baiyao. Her name is Su Xiuniang, and she is the aunt of Su Baiyao, the disciple of the mountain lord."
"It is precisely because of this relationship that my talisman shop signed her. Normally, the talismans she draws are 20% more expensive than those of other talisman masters."
"You know what, if that student Su really does advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, then his bloodline aptitude is very likely not just second-tier lower grade, but second-tier middle grade."
"Even the second-tier superior grade."
At this time.
Another fox-woman, with the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining and wearing a red robe, responded.
"Second-tier, superior!"
"The form of Core Formation."
Upon hearing this, the other late-stage Qi Refining demon cultivators exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
If that's the case, their forces in Qiulan Mountain might even be able to occupy White Bone Ridge and Giant Bone Peak, which are two second-tier spirit peaks.
In this way, their influence in Qiulan Mountain can definitely expand several times over.
If a Core Formation stage cultivator could truly be born.
That would benefit all the residents and cultivators on the entire Autumn Mist Mountain!
"Fellow Daoist Hu."
"Where is the aunt of that scholar Su you mentioned? Could you introduce us to her?"
At this moment, the gray-haired wolf demon who had just spoken bowed to the red-robed fox and asked.
The other two demon cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining were in the same situation.
"Fellow Daoists, it is certainly possible to make introductions."
"But it's too late now. If that person were to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, even if we went, it would only be icing on the cake."
"Moreover, that Master Su is now being taken care of by the Four Seasons Academy, and has been cared for for many years."
"Many of the talismans in our talisman shop were taken away by the Four Seasons Academy."
The red-robed fox woman smiled and said.
When she learned about Su Baiyao, she went to Su Xiuniang's shop and signed her up. Sure enough, not long after, a steward from the Four Seasons Academy contacted her and said that he would order spirit talismans from her every month.
This must be because of the matter of that Su Fu Master.
Moreover, over the years, she has always treated that Su Fushi extremely well, and even gave Su Fushi a first-level intermediate talisman master inheritance for him to cultivate.
Over the past twenty years, Master Su has reached the level of drawing intermediate-grade first-tier spirit talismans.
The few demon cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining around them also had great respect for this old fox.
I never imagined that this old fox had been in contact with us for so many years.
If you're slow in one step, you'll be slow in every step!
at this time.
Four Seasons Academy.
Outside the outer school building.
The little demons inside the school all poked their heads out, looking at the sky full of blue clouds with curiosity and astonishment.
As the eagle demon master, who looked much older, walked out of the school, he gazed at the vortex of spiritual energy rising from the back mountain. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
The same applies to the demon cultivators in both the Inner and Upper Schools.
They all emerged from their cultivation grounds, gazing at the blue clouds spreading overhead.
The edges of the cloud and fog, which covered several miles, were even spreading outwards.
Outside the streets of Qiuye Town, in a terraced field of medicinal herbs, Bai Xiaomei, who was casting the Minor Cloud Rain spell to bring spiritual rain to the medicinal field, has now grown into a graceful woman dressed in white.
Bai Xiaomei had only practiced two low-level techniques and failed to meet the admission requirements for the inner dormitory of the Four Seasons Academy.
Therefore, after leaving the Four Seasons Academy, she found a job tending medicinal fields at an alchemy shop in Autumn Leaf Town, thanks to her status as a student of the Four Seasons Academy's outer school.
"That's...!"
At this moment, Bai Xiaomei looked at the Little Cloud Rain Technique, which was several times larger than before, and then looked at the azure vortex of spiritual energy rising from the back mountain of the Four Seasons Academy.
The water-based spiritual energy in the surrounding mountains and forests suddenly became incredibly active at this moment.
Casting water-based spells has become extremely easy.
"Foundation Building Celestial Phenomenon..."
Bai Xiaomei recalled the description she had read in the book: such a celestial phenomenon could only occur when a Qi Refining cultivator advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.
at the same time.
On the back hill of the academy.
At this moment, Huang Yue, who was surrounded by death energy, held a cane and wore a blue robe. He was now as thin as a rake. If it weren't for the fact that he took wood-type spiritual pills every day to suppress the death energy on his body, he would have been emaciated.
Huang Yue had long since lost control of the deathly aura emanating from his body.
He's too old.
Beside Huang Yue was another early Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivator from Qiu Lan Mountain. He was a lean middle-aged man with a small goatee, dressed in a well-fitting black outfit, and had a patch of black leopard fur on one side of his face.
This is a leopard demon who has cultivated to the point of enlightenment, named Black Earth.
"Baiyou's comprehension and talent are probably the best in the history of our Akihara Mountain!"
"At the age of twenty-six, he was able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Moreover, the range of this celestial phenomenon extended to nearly four miles away."
"This is much larger than when I was building my foundation."
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"
Heitu said with a sigh.
"Now that such a new Foundation Establishment cultivator has been born, I can finally rest in peace."
Huang Yue looked very pleased.
To be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in just twenty years was far beyond his expectations.
With the addition of this old Foundation Establishment cultivator who has not yet passed away, there are now four Foundation Establishment cultivators in Qiulan Mountain, which is the highest number of Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time in the past few hundred years.
"Senior Brother Huang, our clan still has quite a few spiritual herbs."
"Enough to extend your life by a few more years."
Upon hearing Huang Yue's words, Heitu's eyes flashed with sadness as he spoke.
"Nonsense."
"How can you use elixirs so recklessly?"
Aragawa's tone was firm.
He's an old man; using so many elixirs to prolong his lifespan wouldn't make much difference.
He was already very satisfied to see Su Baiyao successfully advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. In a few days, he would cultivate the Corpse Puppet Technique and use his perfect early Foundation Establishment cultivation to refine him into a monkey demon corpse puppet.
If one focuses all their efforts on refining themselves, it is possible to create a half-step Foundation Establishment corpse puppet, which can then contribute to Qiulan Mountain in future battles.
...
now.
In a secluded cave at the foot of the back mountain.
The entire cave was covered by a dense spiritual energy, as thick as black mud. Lin Li was sitting on an ancient stone platform with black and red colors.
At the edge of the cave.
The cave's spiritual energy was tightly confined by a barrier of interwoven five-colored and gold spiritual energy.
At this moment, Lin Li had transformed into a black water ape on the ancient stone platform. The water ape had thick fur, and a tender fleshy horn between its eyebrows, which was black and red.
The seed of magic within the body manifested as a mysterious purple talisman, shaped like a sharp crescent moon.
It is quietly floating in the sea of consciousness.
The liquid mana within his dantian was several times stronger than that of a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
This Styx Ape truly lives up to its reputation as a Nascent Soul cultivator, possessing several times the aptitude of a Nascent Soul cultivator when Lin Li first advanced from his Spirit Fox form to Foundation Establishment.
"Styx spiritual power!"
Lin Li raised his hand, and a water sphere of interwoven black and red colors appeared in his palm, with streaks of red lightning flashing inside.
This is the first stream of Styx spiritual power extracted from the "Styx Thunder Abyss True Water Scripture" that Lin Li cultivated.
This technique appeared in Lin Li's mind a few years ago after his bloodline aptitude was upgraded to that of the Styx Water Ape. It was a technique that could be cultivated all the way to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Furthermore, the Foundation Establishment stage is only the first level of this cultivation technique.
The internal Dharma seed is also the Styx lunar eclipse.
The Styx River's spiritual power possesses the ability to corrode the lifespan of other cultivators. When a battle breaks out, the Styx River's supernatural abilities can devour the opponent's lifespan.
In battles between cultivators of the same level, not only is their combat power formidable, but they can also plunder the lifespan of other cultivators.
After sensing its Styx spiritual power, Lin Li found it to be superior to the Xuanmen magic power.
After all, the magical power of the Xuanmen is cultivated after birth, while his Styx spiritual power is the innate spiritual power that comes with his own Nascent Soul bloodline. If he were to cultivate to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he could even open a Styx rift in the lower realm.
With the blessing of the Styx River, when fighting against cultivators of the same level during the Nascent Soul stage, one essentially gains a second clone with infinite spiritual energy.
As for the power of divine sense, it naturally spread out for more than ten miles in one breath.
This divine sense power completely enveloped the Autumn Mist Mountain, and it was even stronger than that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
With a thought, Lin Li instantly dissipated the Styx spiritual power on his right hand.
The power of his bloodline began to shrink entirely into the clone on the Reincarnation Disc. At this moment, the clone on the Reincarnation Disc contained the full power of Lin Li's bloodline.
now.
After the power of his bloodline contracted, Lin Li's black and red fleshy horns disappeared, and he transformed into a black spirit bone ape with black fur and a tuft of white fur between his eyebrows.
The ancient lotus platform beneath him also vanished suddenly.
The dense, black mud-like spiritual energy that was originally inside the cave was completely gathered into the Lin Li body and absorbed by the clone of the Reincarnation Disc.
of course.
Lin Li can connect to his second clone on the Reincarnation Disc at any time. Once that Styx Water Ape cub, with its late-stage Foundation Establishment combat power, appears, its Nascent Soul bloodline potential is very likely to attract some old monster.
Lin Li thought about the times he had been arrested before, and his mind subconsciously reacted.
A spirit monkey in the Foundation Establishment stage, possessing the potential to become a Divine Transformation cultivator.
This must be the perfect body for countless Nascent Soul stage monsters to possess and drool over.
This is within the territory of the Northern Yue Kingdom.
It is much larger than the two cultivation kingdoms of Nan Yue and Dong Ming.
There are also many more Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Once Lin Lizhen reveals his talent without any concealment, it will inevitably attract a large group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and even old monsters in the Divine Transformation stage to spy on him.
Even during the brief moment when Lin Li broke through, a sense of unease arose in his heart.
Those old monsters have noses that are much more sensitive than a dog's.
It's clear that a spirit monkey with the potential to break through in a place like this has no platform whatsoever.
It's like a beggar who's been poor for thousands of years suddenly seeing a glittering, thousand-foot-high mountain of gold—who wouldn't go crazy?
...
...
They are separated from this place by tens of thousands of miles.
On a vast, boundless lake.
A blue ripple appeared on the lake's surface, from which emerged an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a blue robe. The old man had a youthful face despite his white hair, and held a jade ruyi (a type of scepter) that was both gold and blue. A deep look of doubt lingered between his brows.
"How could it have disappeared!?"
"We must find this little guy with the Nascent Soul bloodline."
"Could it be that they used some kind of magical artifact to conceal it?"
"Let's go and look around at a few Nascent Soul sects nearby."
As soon as the old man in blue finished speaking, he transformed into a thin strand of blue spiritual light and vanished into the mountains on the horizon in the blink of an eye.
