Chapter 79: Double breakthrough
Chapter 79: Double breakthrough
Mi Xiaojing forced himself to calm down, and suddenly had a realization in his heart. If he couldn't pass this level, then he would be completely finished in the cultivation world and would never be able to establish his foundation again.
Wang Weijun also felt a little panicked. If Mi Xiaojing couldn't establish his foundation, then what use was it for him to take over this body? He had to spit out a strand of Qianyang purple gas, which he had stolen from Mi Xiaojing's cultivation. With just two mouthfuls of Qianyang purple gas, his Elemental Infant began to wither.
With the two pure strands of Qianyang purple gas, Mi Xiaojing's spirits were immediately lifted, and he courageously attempted to pass the level again.
He almost succeeded this time, only a hair's breadth away. Mi Xiaojing angrily shouted in his heart, "F*ck it...come on!" and cast a spell.
The Gathering Spirit Array once again surged with a large amount of spiritual qi. As Mi Xiaojing cast his spell, thirty-six spirit stones shattered with a crackling sound, and all of the spiritual qi was driven out by this technique, reducing the spirit stones to powder.
All of the spiritual qi in the entire Gathering Spirit Array was forced out, and Mi Xiaojing was like a super suction machine, frantically absorbing the spiritual qi into his body.
However, he was unable to reach that last little bit, and he began to feel anxious.
Suddenly, Mi Xiaojing's body shook violently, and in an instant, the Mantra Banner with his heart tower appeared directly in his Dan Tian. It was as if something had exploded, and countless golden Mantra characters mixed in with his true qi. That last barrier was instantly shattered by the impact.
In an instant, Mi Xiaojing's body was radiating a bright light, and golden characters appeared on his skin as his true qi and Mantra once again combined.
Wang Weijun had a stroke of bad luck. The Mantra Banner was where he resided, and once it was activated, he would be affected. Fortunately, he had gradually become familiar with the Mantra Banner; otherwise, this sudden movement would have left him unable to support himself. His Elemental Infant had already withered from spitting out two refined strands of Qianyang purple gas, but with the Mantra Banner's activation, it directly extracted strength from his Elemental Infant, making him feel like he was about to die.
Mi Xiaojing's bones were rattling, making a popping sound like exploding beans. His body gradually grew taller, from about 1.6 meters to 1.7 meters.
Dirty black impurities began to appear on his skin, which were the impurities expelled from his body. Once one established their foundation, any cultivator would go through the same process. This step was where low-level cultivators began to truly enter the path of cultivation. Whether it was their body, spirit, or comprehension, they would all be significantly improved.
Both Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun relaxed at this moment. Even though Wang Weijun was affected by the Mantra Banner and felt like he was about to die, he was extremely happy to see Mi Xiaojing enter the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as Mi Xiaojing could improve, it meant that he could obtain a good body, which was his true goal. All of the help he had given was for this purpose.
This level was passed, and even if it wasn't a smooth journey from now on, it wouldn't be like this time, where failure meant complete failure and the end of the path of cultivation. This was a matter of life and death.
Mi Xiaojing didn't pay attention to the impurities expelled from his body, but instead focused on consolidating his realm. If it weren't for the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, a decent Gathering Spirit Array, a large amount of Qi Refining Pills, Wang Weijun's help, and finally the activation of the Mantra Banner, the possibility of Mi Xiaojing establishing his foundation would have been almost zero, and he would have likely failed at the last level.
Once he broke through, Mi Xiaojing's strength would not just increase by one or two times. The Qianyuan Art was a superior cultivation technique, and once he took the first step, it meant that he could truly cultivate this technique.All the previous cultivation was in the preparatory stage, and it couldn't enhance one's strength too much. If compared with the ordinary Qi Refining techniques, even if you practiced this technique during the preparatory stage, there wouldn't be a significant difference in strength.
If everyone cultivated during the Qi Refining stage, one practiced ordinary techniques, and the other practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, if the person who practiced ordinary techniques had eight points of strength, then the strength of the one who practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art would definitely not exceed ten points. The gap between the two was extremely limited.
However, once the person who practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art broke through the Qi Refining stage and reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and could absorb starlight and transform it into Starry Sky power, the difference in strength between the two would be like heaven and earth.
This was the benefit brought by a superior technique, and it was also the technique that a cultivator longed for the most.
To consolidate his realm, Mi Xiaojing didn't need much external Spiritual Qi, as he could just absorb the vast amount of Spiritual Qi within his body.
As the True Qi circulated, Mi Xiaojing discovered that countless Spirit Scripts were flowing within his True Qi. He didn't know if this was good or bad, as he had never known that there was an Evolutionary Immortality treasure inside his body. He had always thought that the Heart Pagoda he cultivated was his own creation, but he didn't know what connection it had with cultivation, and he was extremely ignorant about it.
The most crucial point was that the Heart Pagoda had actually sunk into his Dan Tian. The scene that had originally appeared in his mind was now directly presented in his Dan Tian, which surprised him to the extreme.
After entering the Foundation Establishment stage, Mi Xiaojing could now introspect. When he sank his mind into his Dan Tian, he saw a strange sight.
In the darkness, a golden light flickered. As Mi Xiaojing's mind approached, a tall three-story pagoda appeared. It was only at this moment that Mi Xiaojing realized that the three-story pagoda had already shown the embryonic form of the fourth layer, which meant that he had reached the second realm of Evolutionary Immortality.
Dharma Form Observation stage!
Equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage of a cultivator, the first layer of the Dharma Form Observation stage, the Initial Evolution stage, Mi Xiaojing broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and his Evolutionary Immortality realm also broke through to the Dharma Form Observation stage, surpassing the original Fate-realization stage cultivation level.
However, the first realm of the Dharma Form Observation stage, the Initial Evolution stage, still required Mi Xiaojing to cultivate and consolidate. If this was reflected in the Heart Pagoda, it would be the formation of the fourth layer.
The Heart Pagoda released a golden light, which was actually brought by the Ten Thousand Mantra Banner, but Mi Xiaojing didn't know this, and he also didn't know that Wang Weijun was among them.
Countless Spirit Scripts floated around the Heart Pagoda. Mi Xiaojing was attentive and noticed that when these Spirit Scripts floated, a very small portion of them would stick to the Heart Pagoda, which meant that the Spirit Scripts were blessing the Heart Pagoda. He was slightly puzzled in his heart. He didn't know where these Spirit Scripts came from since he wasn't cultivating Evolutionary Immortality.
As his mind circled around the Heart Pagoda, Mi Xiaojing discovered that at the base of the pagoda, there was a faint mist-like substance, but he didn't know what it was. According to the previous scene during his Evolutionary Immortality cultivation, this substance didn't exist. Could it be brought by the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art?
After taking a round in his Dan Tian with his mind, Mi Xiaojing sank back into cultivation, as now was not the time to investigate.
Soon, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level was consolidated, and Mi Xiaojing continued to consolidate the Dharma Form Observation stage realm of his Evolutionary Immortality. Both were in the initial stage and required some time to cultivate.
At this point, Mi Xiaojing had already relaxed. He knew that he had entered a new realm and a new world, which meant that he had stepped onto the path of both Cultivation and Evolutionary Immortality.
