Chapter 576: Chapter 322 Foundation Establishment_2
Next, under the protection of Li Qian, Lin Xu began preparing for Foundation Establishment.
Foundation Establishment has a success rate, and no amount of caution is too much.
Once Foundation Establishment fails, the impact will be tremendous.
Not to mention how rare suitable Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects are, failing to breakthrough leaves damage to one’s foundation, requiring a long time of recuperation, and greatly increasing the difficulty of Foundation Establishment.
If the success rate for the first attempt might be fifty to sixty percent.
For the second Foundation Establishment, it might drop to ten to twenty percent...
Moreover, the psychological shadow caused by failure is also immense.
During the entire Foundation Establishment process, Li Qian constantly stood by as a protector.
Even Li Qian was very nervous.
After all, this concerned Lin Xu’s future.
Once Foundation Establishment fails, Lin Xu’s future cultivation path would be exceptionally difficult.
And so, more than half a month passed.
During this time, Lin Xu was refining that Innate Spiritual Object; the entire process was quite intricate, allowing no room for carelessness.
Furthermore, Li Qian frequently struck the Chen Bell to aid Lin Xu by using its sound...
The effect was quite remarkable.
After an indeterminate amount of time, an intangible aura of Law slowly emanated from Lin Xu’s body.
Although faint,
It eventually stabilized.
This indicated that Lin Xu succeeded in Foundation Establishment, condensing a Principle Seed.
Not until this moment did Li Qian breathe a long sigh of relief, meaning his idea was truly successful.
The orthodox path of immortality cultivation still holds viable.
Though highly challenging.
Yet, with the help of the Chen Bell, the success rate would still be high.
"Master, disciple has successfully achieved Foundation Establishment."
Lin Xu opened his eyes, a trace of excitement appearing on his face.
Foundation Establishment.
The Principle Seed forming within.
Equivalent to having not reached the Earth Immortal stage, yet already condensing a Principle Seed only a Great Dao Master could achieve.
"Mm, continue cultivating diligently, aiming to develop your Inner World sooner."
Li Qian instructed.
In the Foundation Establishment Realm, one first establishes through Innate Spiritual Objects, then utilizes the Principle Seed to develop the Inner World.
The former poses the greatest difficulty.
What follows is merely a matter of time.
Once successful, it equates to directly surpassing the Earth Immortal stage and entering the Innate Realm.
After all, between the Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal realms, aside from understanding and transforming the Dao, the main focus is forming the Inner World.
Now that Lin Xu has succeeded, there is hope for success with other disciples as well.
If more disciples can achieve Foundation Establishment, it will become much simpler for the Divine Sword Sect to rise above the Feathered Immortal Sect or even into the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Otherwise, if his disciples continue down the original path of immortality cultivation, Earth Immortal might be their pinnacle, with Profound Immortal or Dao Master being nearly impossible to achieve.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Xu responded quickly.
Li Qian instructed Lin Xu to continue cultivating and solidifying his Foundation Establishment while he intended to enter Wu Shuang’s cultivation space.
Since he directly entered the Chenzhong Cave Heaven from the Deep Sea Secret Realm, the entrance still lies within the Secret Realm.
Hence, he planned to exit through the Transmission Array in the Unrivaled Main Hall, eliminating the need to pass through the Deep Sea Secret Realm again.
After all, the entrance and exit to Chenzhong Cave Heaven can move with him.
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several years passed.
Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
Inside the bamboo house.
Having just finished cultivation, Wu Shuang suddenly asked, "Qian Yuan, your disciple Lin Xu seems quite special, as if he carries the traces of Law on him."
Over the years, Lin Xu spent most of his time cultivating within Chenzhong Cave Heaven, rarely venturing outside.
"You noticed?"
Li Qian chuckled.
"What exactly is happening?"
Wu Shuang asked curiously.
"You are curious why I was able to condense a Principle Seed at the Earth Immortal stage?"
Li Qian chuckled again.
"Indeed curious, to condense a Principle Seed without having progressed to Transformation seems impossible."
Wu Shuang nodded.
She hadn’t asked before, given that it was a secret; now that Li Qian mentioned it, she wanted to understand.
"Have you heard of the orthodox path of immortality cultivation?"
Li Qian asked.
"Orthodox immortality cultivation path?"
Wu Shuang paused before recalling, "Qian Yuan, are you referring to the cultivation path before the fall of the Immortal Realm?"
"Yes, precisely."
Li Qian confirmed.
"That can’t be; the road of cultivation from before the fall of the Immortal Realm has left plenty of information, yet attempts to pursue it have led nowhere. It’s simply unworkable now."
Wu Shuang commented.
"The difficulty of cultivating through this method is, indeed, extraordinarily high...."
Li Qian acknowledged.
He then explained the cultivation process.
"I see, during Foundation Establishment, one must utilize Innate Spiritual Objects to condense a Principle Seed..."
Wu Shuang was immensely shocked upon hearing this.
However, she also understood the hardship of this method, as merely Foundation Establishment requires an Innate Spiritual Object to proceed.
Without it, one is stuck in the Qi Refining Realm.
Even the threshold for Foundation Establishment is inaccessible.
In contrast, the current path of immortality, while not enabling the condensation of a Principle Seed during Foundation Establishment, allows one to progress through the understanding and transformation of the Dao, to enter Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and even Profound Immortal...
"Do you intend to guide all your disciples down this path?"
Wu Shuang asked.
She knew the extreme hardship of this path, as merely finding compatible Innate Spiritual Objects is enough to drive despair.
Given the Feathered Immortal Sect’s twenty-plus Dao Masters, obtaining Innate Spiritual Objects is rare and finding suitable ones even rarer, leaving only two or three who might condense a Principle Seed and achieve Great Dao Master status.
"Not for the time being."
Li Qian shook his head. "Unless the Foundation Establishment Pill can be refined."
The Foundation Establishment Pill, reportedly made using Innate Spiritual Objects as primary ingredients, offers higher success rates and isn’t limited by one’s Spirit Root attribute. Most importantly, a single Innate Spiritual Object could yield multiple Foundation Establishment Pills.
"Wu Shuang, could you look into information about the orthodox Immortal Dao, especially concerning Foundation Establishment Pills? Having an elixir recipe would be ideal."
Li Qian suggested after pondering.
"Alright."
Wu Shuang nodded.
Since Li Qian and his disciple have embarked on the orthodox immortality path by condensing a Principle Seed during Foundation Establishment, successfully refining the Foundation Establishment Pill would make the orthodox Immortal Dao viable once more.
"Qian Yuan, could one like myself, already having condensed a Principle Seed... still follow the orthodox Immortal Dao?"
Wu Shuang suddenly asked again.
"Not much of an issue, but at your level, converting to the orthodox Immortal Dao requires cultivating with Immortal Energy. I don’t suggest you switch over just yet..."
Li Qian acknowledged with a nod.
"Alright then, inform me when you think it’s feasible to switch..."
Wu Shuang didn’t inquire further.
Several days later.
Wu Shuang truly found abundant information on the orthodox Immortal Dao in the Void Twelve Pavilion’s eleventh layer within the Feathered Immortal Sect.
Among the information was even a complete Foundation Establishment Pill elixir recipe.
If it were before the fall of the Immortal Realm, such an elixir recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill would be extremely precious. However, in this era, it has practically become obsolete.
"Indeed worthy of being the Foundation Establishment Pill, truly astonishing."
He was filled with awe.
Because the core of this Foundation Establishment Pill unquestionably required an Innate Spiritual Object as a catalyst.
Additionally, it needed dozens of precious materials.
However... these precious materials, only considered precious before the fall of the Immortal Realm, are not particularly rare in today’s era.
The only thing hard to acquire is the Innate Spiritual Object.
"Wu Shuang, do you know where there might be Innate Spiritual Objects?"
Li Qian asked upon seeing Wu Shuang in the midst of practicing her swordsmanship.
"In the Feathered Immortal Sect, they are certainly rare, and even if they exist, they are hard to find. But....."
As Wu Shuang practiced, her stance was full of vigor, and suddenly she thrust her Spirit Sword towards Li Qian.
"But what?"
Seeing this, Li Qian said, pointing a finger as two sword beams collided.
Thunk, thunk, thunk...
Wu Shuang’s body staggered back, her Spirit Sword trembling and resounding.
"Your swordsmanship seems close to perfection."
She exhaled deeply.
"Tsk tsk, I really don’t know how formidable your swordsmanship will be once perfected."
Wu Shuang marveled.
Even if she also practiced a remarkable Swordsmanship, compared to Li Qian’s, it fell far short in terms of its murderous intent.
