Chapter 17: Foundation Establishment, Dantian Like an Ocean

Chapter 17: Foundation Establishment, Dantian Like an Ocean

Zhang Yuhe quickly pulled up his personal attribute panel. When he saw the section for his special Physique, he became even more firm in his own thoughts.

"Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture paired with the Primordial Saint Body, isn't that just right?"

This was definitely not just its literal meaning.

According to the introduction in the booklet, wanting to Cultivate the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture required all eight Spiritual Roots to be complete. He happened to have all eight Spiritual Roots complete.

Moreover, he had a bold guess as to why he simultaneously possessed eight top-tier Spiritual Roots.

It was precisely because of his special Physique, the Primordial Dao Body.

Having soaked in the Book Building for over a month, Zhang Yuhe at this moment was long no longer a novice in the Cultivator world.

Although in the Book Building, he hadn't found any news regarding the Primordial Dao Body.

But in one of the books, he saw an introduction regarding special Physiques.

According to the saying in the book, in the Cultivator world, people possessing special Physiques would occasionally appear.

They naturally had an affinity for a certain attribute, possessed natural Heaven-grade Spiritual Roots, and upon Cultivating to a certain Realm, would also Awaken special Divine Abilities.

The book called this kind of special Physique a Spirit Body.

A Heaven-grade Spiritual Root was not necessarily a Spirit Body, but a Spirit Body was definitely a Heaven-grade Spiritual Root.

Zhang Yuhe guessed: Since there were Spirit Bodies, were there also Saint Bodies and Dao Bodies?

Did Saint Bodies correspond to Saint Grade Spiritual Roots, and Dao bodies correspond to Dao-grade Spiritual Roots?

If it were like this, then it completely explained why he would have eight Dao-grade Spiritual Roots.

"I'宁 choose this Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture."

After a period of serious thought, Zhang Yuhe finally made up his mind.

If he didn't even dare to gamble with an opportunity like this, what the hell was the point of Cultivating immortality?

He respectfully said to the long-bearded Senior.

"Senior, I choose the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture."

"Are you sure? Young people shouldn't bite off more than they can chew. Did you read the introduction above clearly? No one in the Dao Saint Sect has ever successfully Cultivated it for a million years. Do you think you can do it?"

Hearing Zhang Yuhe's choice, the long-bearded Senior earnestly advised him.

At this moment, the old man seemed to have forgotten his previous displeasure, perhaps because he didn't want Zhang Yuhe to walk down a misguided path.

"Sure."

Zhang Yuhe answered firmly. There was nothing to hesitate about; he would just spend some time to try it out.

If it really didn't work out, he could just find an opportunity to change his Cultivation Technique later.

Hearing Zhang Yuhe's reply, the old man couldn't help but shake his head. Almost every once in a while, there would be such stubborn Disciples who thought that things others couldn't accomplish, perhaps they themselves could.

Only after hitting a brick wall and getting bloodied would they know to repent.

Having guarded the Scripture Pavilion for countless years, he had long seen such matters countless times, so he didn't advise him any further.

Kind words can never persuade a ghost determined to die.

The old man waved his hand to take back the booklet, then said indifferently,

"Since you are so determined, then go ahead."

After speaking, the old man flicked his sleeve, and Zhang Yuhe instantly disappeared. At the same time, the ninth floor of the Scripture Pavilion lit up with a soft glow.

Zhang Yuhe glanced around his surroundings. A tall stone tablet stood right before his eyes.

The stone tablet was as pitch black as ink, and no handwriting could be seen. However, under careful sensing, it seemed to emit an incomparably vast aura.

"Could this be the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture?"

"There isn't a single word, how is one supposed to learn this? Could this stone tablet be an oversized Jade Slip?"

Zhang Yuhe sat cross-legged, released his Divine Sense, and silently sensed the aura on the stone tablet.

Boom…

When his Divine Sense made contact with the stone tablet, countless contents instantly flooded into his mind, akin to an initiation through divine enlightenment.

Zhang Yuhe became immersed in it. Not knowing how much time had passed, he found that he had already appeared outside the Scripture Pavilion.

"Since you've already seen the Cultivation Technique, what are you still doing here?"

Seeing Zhang Yuhe standing there blankly and unmoving, the long-bearded Senior shouted irritably.

Zhang Yuhe only then snapped back to his senses. He cupped his hands to bid farewell to the old man, then released his Flying Sword and flew toward Galaxy Peak.

"This time I've struck it big."

Along the way, Zhang Yuhe completely failed to mask the joy on his face.

Returning to Galaxy Peak, he quickly entered the courtyard and sat cross-legged on the Cultivation platform.

Pulling up the game System to check his attributes, a virtual panel presented itself before his eyes.

Name: Zhang Yuhe

Sect: Dao Saint Sect

Realm: Qi Refining Great Perfection

Spiritual Root: Metal (Dao-grade), Wood (Dao-grade), Water (Dao-grade), Fire (Dao-grade), Earth (Dao-grade), Wind (Dao-grade), Lightning (Dao-grade), Ice (Dao-grade)

Special Physique: Primordial Dao Body

Fortune: Great Fortune

Comprehension Ability: ???

Cultivation Technique: Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture (Upper Volume)

Divine Abilities & Spells: Fireball Technique, Gengjin Sword Finger, Wood Prison Technique, Water Arrow Technique…

Hundred Arts: Alchemy Entry, Artifact Refining Entry, Formation Entry, Talisman Dao Apprentice…

Having soaked in the Book Building for over a month, aside from enriching his various Cultivator common sense, he had also roughly glanced at various basic spells, and then he immediately learned them, feeling it was very simple.

He had even read quite a bit of the Hundred Arts knowledge in the Book Building, quickly achieving entry-level mastery; all that was lacking now was hands-on practice.

For someone whose Comprehension Ability exploded off the charts, learning things was just that simple.

However, what made him happiest was the Cultivation Technique section. The original Qi Drawing Art had already vanished, replaced by the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture (Upper Volume).

"So the Scripture Pavilion only houses the Upper Volume."

Zhang Yuhe silently recalled the contents on the stone tablet. According to the description above:

The Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was a special Cultivation Technique from the Immortal Realm, divided into Upper and Lower Volumes.

Normal Cultivation Techniques could only Cultivate a single attribute, whereas the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture involved simultaneous Cultivation of all eight attributes.

The Spiritual Qi in heaven and earth was mixed with various attributes. When Cultivators Cultivated, they needed to exclude Spiritual Qi of other attributes, only absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the corresponding attribute according to the Cultivation Technique.

This was actually a very strenuous task, so whenever they Cultivated, everyone had to be extremely cautious and could not be disturbed.

Once they accidentally inhaled Spiritual Qi of other attributes, it was very easy to damage their Meridians.

However, the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was completely different. This Cultivation Technique could simultaneously absorb all types of Spiritual Qi, taking the meaning of Primordial Unity.

Of course, this looked very wonderful, but in reality, it was completely impossible to achieve.

A Cultivation Technique like this that violated the normal laws of Cultivation had simply never been successfully Cultivated by anyone.

This didn't look like a Cultivation Technique created by humans at all, nor did it look like a Cultivation Technique meant for humans to Cultivate; it was extremely heterodox.

"Am I not human?"

Looking at the four large characters of Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture clearly displayed on the Cultivation Technique item of his personal attributes, Zhang Yuhe didn't know what to think.

Since it was displayed on the attribute panel, it meant he had indeed learned it. Next, he just needed to Cultivate step by step.

"Let's give it a try."

Zhang Yuhe sat cross-legged on the Cultivation platform, slowly operating the Cultivation Technique according to the guidance of the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture.

In an instant, the surrounding Spiritual Qi rapidly surged toward him, converging from his Meridians into his Dantian.

Since he had long reached Qi Refining Great Perfection, his Dantian was already incomparably full. If he didn't achieve a Breakthrough in his Realm, he wouldn't be able to accommodate more Spiritual Qi.

However, as the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture continuously operated, Spiritual Qi was still pouring into his Dantian.

Boom…

Suddenly, a silent roar resounded in Zhang Yuhe's mind. His Dantian seemed to break through a certain restriction, rapidly expanding, and then it was filled again by the surging Spiritual Qi.

Zhang Yuhe ceaselessly operated the Cultivation Technique. His Dantian remained in this state of expanding, filling, expanding again, and filling again.

Not knowing how much time had passed, the Spiritual Qi rushing into the Dantian suddenly transformed into wisps of fine drizzle, slowly dripping down into the Dantian.

At the same time, the Spiritual Qi originally in the Dantian was also rapidly liquefying.

Zhang Yuhe didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, operating the Cultivation Technique with complete focus while carefully monitoring the changes in his Dantian.

He was no longer a Cultivation novice; he knew he was right in the middle of the Foundation Establishment process.

Foundation Establishment was an important checkpoint in Cultivation; only by building a solid Foundation could one walk further on the path of Cultivation.

Normally, every Cultivator would make various preparations in advance before Foundation Establishment.

Not only did they need to adjust their state, but they also had to prepare Foundation Establishment Pills in advance, as well as various Medicinal Pills that replenished Spiritual Qi.

However, Zhang Yuhe had prepared nothing at all. He just wanted to verify whether the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture could truly be Cultivated.

Who would have thought that this verification would directly lead him into the Foundation Establishment state? This made things a bit difficult to ride out; he could only grit his teeth and persist now.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi swarmed over, then transformed into a fine drizzle scattered throughout the Dantian.

Time slowly passed. As the Spiritual Qi continuously liquefied, the originally hazy-looking Dantian had already turned into a vast ocean.

Dantian like an ocean.

Zhang Yuhe inspected his own state, then opened his eyes with a face full of joy.

"Haha, it's done."

The immortal Foundation has been established, a smooth path from here on out.
