Chapter 29 Foundation Building! Eighth-grade Daoji!

“Receive.”

Zhou Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the fervor in his heart, then surveyed his surroundings and walked towards the Tianyuan Saint statue.

A solemn expression appeared on his face as he bowed respectfully to the Tianyuan Saint.

“There’s a stone tablet in front of the statue, and it seems to have writing on it!”

Suddenly, Zhou Chen noticed small characters carved in the center of the stone tablet, with mysterious patterns adorning its edges.

“Tianyuan.”

The writing was vigorous and powerful, carrying an Aura that looked down upon the world, subtly giving Zhou Chen an invisible sense of oppression.

Rumble!

The next moment, the entire plaza began to tremble, and a line of small characters on the stone tablet emitted a dazzling golden light.

Even more, a heart-palpitating Aura emanated from the statue, as if some powerful existence was about to awaken.

Suddenly, Zhou Chen felt his body sink, and a vast pressure instantly enveloped the entire Secret Realm.

The Tianyuan Saint statue in the center gradually cracked open, its blinding light making it difficult for Zhou Chen to clearly see what was happening.

A blurry yet majestic figure slowly appeared, radiating an ancient Aura as if it was walking towards Zhou Chen across countless years.

“What terrifying strength; it’s just a phantom left behind across the river of time, and it almost suffocated me.”

Feeling the ancient phantom observing him, Zhou Chen’s heart tightened; Ye Chen’s Opportunity introduction hadn’t mentioned triggering this phantom, and Zhou Chen was unsure whether it was good or bad.

Bearing the immense pressure, Zhou Chen swallowed hard and, with difficulty, cupped his hands to the statue, saying,

“Junior Ye Chen pays respects to the Saint. Today, I stumbled into this Secret Realm, and I thank Tianyuan Saint for bestowing this Opportunity upon your Junior.”

When unsure, reporting the name of the Son of Destiny is always the right move.

“What year is it now?”

After a long while, the ancient phantom in the Void Realm, filled with a滄桑 Aura, opened its eyes and slowly spoke.

“Senior, it is now the 13,982nd year of the Tiannan Calendar.”

Hearing the Tianyuan Saint’s voice, as resonant as a great bell, Zhou Chen replied to the phantom.

“Thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Junior, your Foundation is very good, but this Venerable One did not leave behind a Cultivation Technique. Do you resent me for that?”

Tianyuan Saint spoke leisurely.

“Junior would not dare. Junior is already extremely satisfied to have received the blessings left by Senior.”

Zhou Chen quickly denied it.

One must know that such a great being, every word and action has deep meaning; not leaving behind a Legacy must be due to some secret.

“This Venerable One’s Cultivation Technique involves too much Karma. Cultivating it would inevitably alert this Venerable One’s enemies, so I cannot pass it on to you.”

Pausing, Tianyuan Saint continued,

“I see your Foundation is good, and you are also a person of Opportunity. Very well, I shall bestow upon you one last bit of good fortune.”

Without waiting for Zhou Chen’s reply, a beam of light flew directly towards the mark on Zhou Chen’s forehead, entering his Sea of Consciousness.

Zhou Chen suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his head; a vast amount of unique understanding regarding Cultivation Techniques had appeared in his mind. Previously, many puzzling aspects of various Cultivation Techniques now became exceptionally easy to comprehend.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Zhou Chen excitedly spoke to the gradually fading figure.

“No need to thank me, it’s a small gift. If you have the chance, little friend, please deliver this token to Tianxing Sacred Ground. The Holy Land will fulfill all your requests.”

Tianyuan Saint’s voice slowly drifted, gradually dissipating.

A token slowly appeared where the phantom had vanished, floating into Zhou Chen’s palm.

“Junior will certainly deliver it if I have the chance.”

Zhou Chen murmured.

Zhou Chen had never heard of Tianxing Sacred Ground and planned to inquire about it with Liu Qingtian later.

Looking at the vast Secret Realm, Zhou Chen felt immensely satisfied; this portable Secret Realm was simply too convenient.

The Secret Realm was hidden within Zhou Chen’s Divine Soul, undetectable even by a Saint Realm expert.

Even if Zhou Chen’s Secret Realm were discovered, attempting to forcefully open it would cause the Secret Realm to be destroyed and vanish into the spatial乱流 with just a slight mishap.

“Let’s call it the Guiyi Secret Realm for now.”

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

“Oh no, I can’t suppress my Realm anymore!”

Because the Spiritual Qi within the Secret Realm was too abundant, coupled with Zhou Chen’s continuous efforts to suppress his Realm during this period.

At this moment, the Spiritual Qi in his body began to boil—a sign of a Breakthrough!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Chen directly took out the returned Nine-Colored Glazed Fruit and swallowed it whole.

The Nine-Colored Glazed Fruit slid down his throat and reached Zhou Chen’s Dantian.

In an instant, a massive amount of energy erupted from the Nine-Colored Glazed Fruit, and Zhou Chen immediately felt as if he had swallowed a red-hot iron block.

His body instinctively resisted, wanting to vent this surge of energy.

But Zhou Chen endured the discomfort, continuing to guide the Nine-Colored Glazed Fruit’s energy towards his Dantian.

This immense energy directly impacted his Meridians, flesh, bones…

Then it flowed back to his Dantian, cycling repeatedly, causing extreme pain.

Zhou Chen suddenly discovered that a phantom Dao platform had appeared within his Dantian. The steps on the Dao platform ascended tier by tier, clearly indicating that this was the Dao Foundation.

Zhou Chen had Cultivated the Primal Chaos Scripture, forging an Immaculate Body, and his Dao Foundation was of the fifth grade, giving him a great chance to become a Saint in the future.

Under the immense energy of the Nine-Colored Glazed Fruit, mysterious light points appeared, gradually converging on the Dao platform within Zhou Chen’s body.

Gradually.

Boom, accompanied by a muffled sound within his body, the steps on Zhou Chen’s Dao Foundation continued to extend upwards.

Dao Foundation Sixth-Tier!

“Not enough! Continue!”

Zhou Chen roared madly in his heart.

Subsequently, Zhou Chen took out a porcelain bottle.

The moment he opened the porcelain bottle, a massive pressure descended, nearly interrupting Zhou Chen’s Breakthrough.

Zhou Chen no longer hesitated, taking a gulp. It was the returned Medium Grade Saint Rank Yao Beast Essence Blood from the System.

“Hold on, hold on!”

Zhou Chen gritted his teeth, continuously pouring several bottles of Spiritual Qi restoring Medicinal Pills into his mouth.

At the same time, the Primal Chaos Scripture operated frantically.

Boom!

Dao Foundation Seventh-Tier!

Seven-colored auspicious light emanated from Zhou Chen’s Dantian, as if a treasure had appeared, visible for hundreds of miles within the Secret Realm.

Zhou Chen continued to take the Imperial Rank Supreme Grade Seven-Colored Dragon Glass Pill.

A large amount of Spiritual Qi spontaneously emerged, flowing into the Dao platform in his Dantian.

In the blink of an eye, the Spiritual Qi within Zhou Chen’s body was completely swallowed by the Dao platform.

Besides Spiritual Qi, the Seven-Colored Dragon Glass Pill also emitted peculiar light points, surging into Zhou Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately, Zhou Chen’s Sea of Consciousness rapidly expanded under the enhancement of this mysterious energy.

Before long, it was already ten times the size of his original Sea of Consciousness.

“Still not enough! Break through for me!”

Zhou Chen gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up this Opportunity, and continued to consume more Spiritual Plants.

A Seventh-Tier Dao Foundation meant future achievements would surpass the Emperor Realm, possibly even reaching a higher Realm!

But at this moment, Zhou Chen was not satisfied.

The next moment.

The black and white runes within Zhou Chen’s body suddenly moved, and a massive Spiritual Qi vortex began to form.

An extremely pure Spiritual Qi surged from the Primal Chaos runes, forcefully injecting into Zhou Chen’s Dao platform.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Zhou Chen’s Dao Foundation slowly continued to grow upwards.

Within Zhou Chen’s body, crisp booming sounds echoed.

One after another, like majestic Dao sounds that shook the Soul.

It reverberated deep within Zhou Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

Zhou Chen’s eyes were tightly shut.

As the Eighth-Tier Dao Foundation formed, his Aura strengthened, solidified, and sublimated little by little!

The Breakthrough from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm was a qualitative change in Cultivation.

Zhou Chen’s Foundation was relatively weak, which was why many of the returned treasures didn’t have such a rapid effect on him.

The large amounts of Spiritual Qi and essence absorbed were all used to transform his body’s Aptitude.

This Dao Foundation Breakthrough was an even more profound, transformative change for Zhou Chen!
