Chapter 133: Foundation Building Cultivation, Lifebound Divine Ability

Within the Sky-Connecting Sea of Clouds, where a colossal immortal mountain had just risen, Lv Yang soared on a beam of light, stepping gracefully onto the mountaintop. Before him stretched a vast expanse of swirling spiritual mist, within which radiant auroras coalesced into the form of a woman.

"Your servant greets the Venerable One", the Array Art Spirit said, bowing gracefully before Lv Yang, her voice as warm as a spring breeze.

Lv Yang's eyes gleamed—not at her beauty, which left him indifferent, but at the striking resemblance between this spirit and the one guarding Holy Flame Cliff. They seemed like twin reflections.

"What rank is your Array Art?" he asked.

"Honored one", she replied, her demeanor respectful. "I am a sub-array born from the primary formation at Holy Flame Cliff, tasked with guarding this immortal mountain. I regulate its spiritual currents and observe the karmic merits here. My rank? Approximately fifth-tier."

Lv Yang's heart quickened. The Array Art hierarchy spanned nine ranks, with fourth to sixth tiers falling within the Foundation Building realm—precisely the domain he now sought to master. While he’d once been a Seventh-Rank Formation Master, such expertise paled after ascending to Foundation Building. For cultivators at this stage, techniques like alchemy, artifact forging, and formation arts became intuitive skills rather than specialized disciplines. Seventh-Rank mastery was merely foundational now. To elevate his craft into a true asset, he needed to advance further.

"You", he ordered, "come to me tonight."

"Your servant understands."

As the spirit dissolved into motes of light, Lv Yang resumed his exploration of the mountain. The mystic insignia gifted by Chongguang Zhenren glowed faintly at his waist, its intricate carvings displaying his newly granted cultivation title: Yuan Tu, the Slaughter. With a flick of his wrist, he channeled his spiritual energy into the insignia. The surrounding mist roared to life, coalescing into dense, brick-like formations under the array’s command. Moments later, the air itself grew thin, crystallizing into a translucent veil that parted to reveal a sprawling hall sculpted entirely from pure spiritual essence. This sanctum—his secluded cultivation chamber—radiated an opulence so profound that even the atmosphere carried a faint, intoxicating sweetness.

With a sigh, he recalled the days renting a cramped cave on Heaven-Mending Peak. Truly, I’ve come far, he mused.

Producing the Ten-Thousand Spirits Banner, he summoned two figures—Su Nu and Yanluo Patriarch. The latter blinked in surprise upon seeing Lv Yang.

"You’ve reached Foundation Building. Impressive", Yanluo murmured.

"Honored ancestor flatters me", Lv Yang replied, bowing. "My Dao Foundation has been solidified, and the Holy Sect has granted me this mountain. I wish to revive the Wugui Sect."

"Revive—" Yanluo’s voice trembled. "You’re serious?"

"Absolutely. As a Wugui disciple, I now have the power to restore our sect. It’s also a small gesture of gratitude for your guidance."

Yanluo exhaled deeply, his expression softening. "My Dao Foundation pales compared to yours, and my past insights on Lifebound Divine Ability may no longer apply. You must carve your own path."

"Lifebound Divine Ability?" Lv Yang pressed.

"Ah", Yanluo nodded. "Unique to Foundation Building cultivators. Unlike ordinary Divine Abilities—which channel external cosmic forces—Lifebound techniques emerge from the fusion of one’s Soul and Dao Foundation. It’s an intrinsic power, the true trump card in battle."

He gestured toward Lv Yang’s cultivation scroll. "The ‘Four Great Elixirs’—Celestial Vanguard and Terrestrial Sha—are essentially manifestations of innate talents. Your Dao Foundation will harmonize these, shaping your spiritual journey. Master this, and your path to immortality unfolds."

Lv Yang’s brow furrowed. "How does one cultivate this ability?"

"First, perfect your Dao Foundation", Yanluo said, eyeing him. "You’ve achieved that. The rest depends on merging Soul and Foundation—a test of insight. Some fail for centuries; others master it in decades."

Lv Yang grimaced. His insight in this area was… uncertain.

"No shortcuts?" he asked.

"None", Yanluo replied flatly. "Though a divination artifact could aid you."

A spark lit Lv Yang’s eyes. "In thirty years, Yun Clan’s Patriarch will reincarnate in the Refinement Realm. My lost treasure will return then."

He turned, revealing a jade box containing a pitch-black insect with a golden spinal stripe—the Spirit Devouring Insect King. Its kin had been eradicated, leaving only this primal form gifted by Chongguang Zhenren. To restore its power, it would need vast blood sacrifices.

"The Refinement Realm", Lv Yang mused, "where a billion souls await. Perfect for fattening my pet."
