EX: 1/20

It’s unclear how much time has passed.

Regardless, Liu Shunyi awakens from his sleep.

Upon waking,

the transformation of his physique by the Primordial Bead nears its completion.

Liu Shunyi instantly feels invigorated.

He is about to reach Foundation Establishment!

Of course,

there isn’t much else he needs to do now.

His sole task is to fully activate and circulate his Cultivation Technique.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, spiritual power erupts chaotically,

rushing madly towards Liu Shunyi.

He swiftly focuses his mind.

At this moment,

his body has been completely strengthened by the Primordial Bead.

As the spiritual power flows through him,

the Primordial Bead begins to slowly dissolve, eventually merging into Liu Shunyi’s being.

Once the Primordial Bead is fully integrated into his body,

a profound change occurs within Liu Shunyi.

Like the dawn of chaos breaking apart,

what was once a dark void inside him suddenly illuminates with light.

“This is… the true dantian!”

Liu Shunyi was astonished.

Before Foundation Establishment, his dantian resembled an egg’s size. However, upon reaching this milestone, he realized that the egg-sized dantian was merely the threshold to Foundation Establishment.

As he crossed this threshold, he discovered a vast world beneath it.

With the opening of this new realm, spiritual energy began to Frantically pouring into the world.

Soon enough, spiritual energy flowed like rain, continuously gathering within this domain.

In no time, the accumulated spiritual energy formed a small pool.

Despite being just a shallow puddle, its volume exceeded ten times that of his previous Qi Refining cultivation stage.

“I can’t take any more; there’s nowhere left for it!”

Once the spiritual power coalesced into a pool, Liu Shunyi found himself unable to absorb more spiritual energy. It seemed as if an invisible barrier prevented further accumulation, limiting the pool’s growth.

“It appears this is my bottleneck!” Liu Shunyi understood clearly.

Being within this heavenly paradise and possessing a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique, Liu Shunyi naturally focused all his efforts on cultivation.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

“Boom!”

A dull explosion reverberated within his mind.

At that moment, Liu Shunyi noticed everything around him seemed to freeze; time appeared to have stopped, with all objects halted in place.

Of course, it was merely an illusion.

Liu Shunyi had just opened his Spiritual Sea, which is a standard milestone for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, one gains the ability to project their Divine Consciousness outward.

This Divine Consciousness is truly remarkable, somewhat akin to having eyes at the end of your limbs.

With Divine Consciousness extended,

everything within its reach instantly appears in your mind, resembling a projection.

It can even be magnified for closer inspection.

Moreover, it automatically reveals what you wish to observe.

For instance,

the internal structure of medicinal herbs, including roots and stems.

Additionally, Divine Consciousness effortlessly penetrates through rocks and soil without hindrance.

“This is truly astonishing!” Liu Shunyi’s spirits soared.

He immediately focused all his attention on cultivation.

“Buzz…buzz…”

Liu Shunyi absorbed spiritual energy at a frenzied pace, eager to break through swiftly. He even activated the Blood Combustion Divine Fist for enhanced training.

With the Blood Combustion Divine Fist amplifying his efforts, the Imperishable Primordial Scripture ran relentlessly, disregarding any consequences.

Liu Shunyi’s cultivation base steadily climbed higher.

“Boom!”

In this relentless pursuit, Liu Shunyi shattered the barrier within him effortlessly.

The small pool in his dantian world began expanding once more, quickly transforming into a vast lake.

“Intermediate Stage Foundation Establishment!” Liu Shunyi’s face flushed with excitement.

“Damn it, keep going! This blessed land may be accessible again, but who knows when that’ll be? I must seize this opportunity and cultivate as much as possible while I can!”

With this determination, Liu Shunyi continued his frantic cultivation.

Time flies during cultivation.

In what seemed like an instant, another half year had passed.

Within this period, Liu Shunyi expanded the lake tenfold once more.

“This must be Late Stage Foundation Establishment now!”

Upon reaching Late Stage Foundation Establishment, Liu Shunyi halted his training.

He found that no matter how he tried, he could not break through the barrier to the next stage.

Even with the aid of top-tier Qi Gathering Pills and frenzied absorption of spiritual energy, he was unable to breach it.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Liu Shunyi decided against further efforts. With no prior experience, he feared forcing a breakthrough might lead to unforeseen complications.

Liu Shunyi resolved to research thoroughly after leaving the secret realm, or if necessary, seek guidance from Ji Suying or Chen Qiaoli.

With this decision made, Liu Shunyi began fervently harvesting medicinal herbs around him. He avoided those exceptionally rare ones, feeling too cautious to take them. However, he didn’t pass up any other valuable herbs.

Naturally, before doing so, he emptied all the inferior herbs previously stored in his Storage Bag to make room for these new acquisitions!

“Boom~”

Suddenly, a bell toll echoed across the heavens and earth.

“The time limit for the secret realm is about to end!” Liu Shunyi hastily secured his Storage Bag and deliberately disheveled himself to appear worn out.

As soon as he finished, a golden light enveloped him. Instantly, he felt a strong pull, lifting his body upwards.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Outside the secret realm.

Disciples continuously emerged through teleportation.

Ji Suying observed them with a composed gaze.

Within the secret realm,

only those who survived had seized opportunities.

Now, every disciple being teleported out had reached Late Qi Refining stage.

Ji Suying couldn’t help but nod approvingly.

“This batch of disciples is quite impressive!”

However, despite scanning left and right,

she failed to spot the figure she eagerly awaited.

“It can’t be that none survived… Hmm?”

Suddenly,

Ji Suying noticed a disciple resembling a beggar.

His face was so grimy, it completely obscured his features.

Yet, Ji Suying recognized him instantly as Liu Shunyi.

The telltale sign was the cunning gleam in his eyes.

Ji Suying smiled but chose not to reveal his identity.

“Hummm…”

Abruptly,

a scorching aura filled the area.

Ji Suying instinctively turned her attention towards it.

“That’s Ye Yan!” Ji Suying recognized him.

Despite having inferior Spirit Root qualifications, Ye Yan was still considered among the top-tier Outer Sect disciples.

Now, his aura clearly indicated he had reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

Moreover, the nature of his flames…

“Not only did he recast his Spirit Root, but also obtained an exceptional Foundation Establishment Item?”

Ji Suying couldn’t help but feel unsettled.

She swiftly approached Ye Yan.

“Boy, would you be willing to join my Hidden Sword Peak? I can accept you as a disciple on behalf of my master!”

Ye Yan bowed, about to agree immediately.

However, Elder Qing Teng flew over just as quickly.

“Ye Yan, if you become my disciple, I will spare no effort in nurturing your talents. Additionally, under my tutelage, there are numerous female disciples!”

In response, Ji Suying asserted firmly:

“I cannot guarantee anything specific, but joining Hidden Sword Peak offers greater freedom. Not only do we possess resources found on other peaks, but we also have unique advantages they lack!”
