Chapter 383: Breakthrough, Foundation Establishment!
Chapter 383: Breakthrough, Foundation Establishment!
October 31st, 2024
"Lu Xiaolangjun, I've thought it through. After hearing your explanation of the path of cultivation, I find myself quite interested in the Dharmic Cultivator path."
Lin Zhirui stood by the Spirit Field for a long time before finally returning to the courtyard and speaking to Lu Qing.
"Dharmic cultivation?"
Lu Qing wasn't surprised by this and smiled, nodding. "That's simple. Once you, Mister Zhirui, have completely transformed your True Qi into Spiritual Energy, I can teach you a Dharmic cultivation technique."
"Lu Xiaolangjun, is this really possible?"
Although he had already anticipated this, when Lu Qing actually said it, Lin Zhirui was still overjoyed.
He even felt a bit apprehensive.
After all, this was the path of cultivation, a path that even the top sects in the Central Land yearned for.
Yet Lu Qing was offering to teach it to him so easily.
"It's just the basic path of cultivation. Mister Zhirui, there's no need to be polite. The path of cultivation is long, and sometimes mutual support is necessary to go further.
The Qi Condensation Stage is merely the beginning of the path of cultivation. The journey ahead is still long."
Lu Qing's words, filled with profound meaning, caused Lin Zhirui to fall into deep thought once again.
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
During this month, Lu Qing had been eagerly awaiting the fifth Heavenly Dao Resonance, but it didn't occur.
He could sense that the Heavenly and Earthly Laws had already evolved to a limit half a month ago.
However, the fifth Heavenly Dao Resonance didn't immediately follow, and the evolution didn't progress to the next stage.
Instead, it was like a drawn-out tension, as if something was brewing.
This made Lu Qing realize that the fifth Heavenly Dao Resonance would be extraordinary.
Once it sounded, there would likely be significant changes in the world.
The question was when this transformation would occur.
Nevertheless, the absence of the Heavenly Dao Resonance didn't hinder Lu Qing's cultivation progress.
In fact, after more than a month of accumulation, his reserves had reached their limit, and he was once again at a point where he had to break through.
So, he took some time and returned to the Jade Transformation Cave to prepare for his seclusion and breakthrough.
In the Jade Transformation Cave, the Spiritual Energy that Lu Qing had depleted two months ago had long been replenished.
Moreover, it was even denser, almost to the point of becoming a mist.
Seeing this, Lu Qing was very satisfied.
His reserves were incredibly profound, and the Spiritual Energy required for his breakthrough would be astonishing.
The Spiritual Energy gathered in the village might not even be enough.
That's why he chose to come to the Jade Transformation Cave for his breakthrough.
Indeed, the Spiritual Energy here didn't disappoint him; it was even denser than he had anticipated and should be sufficient for his breakthrough.
Sitting in the meditation chamber, Lu Qing fully activated the grand formation in the cave, ensuring everything was in order.
With a slight movement of his mind, he released his psychic sense and no longer suppressed the urge to break through within his body.
The next moment, the Spiritual Energy in the meditation chamber surged, and Lu Qing's physical body immediately underwent a transformation.
Lu Qing was on the path of a Body Cultivator, and the first to transform during a Body Cultivator's breakthrough was the physical body.
Under his perception, his already exceptionally robust physical body began to undergo a deeper transformation.
His bone marrow, muscles, blood vessels, meridians, and acupoints all became more vibrant and full of vitality.
These transformations required powerful Spiritual Energy to support them.
Lu Qing's physical body became a bottomless pit, continuously devouring the Spiritual Energy within the cave, which was then refined and purified by his Life-Linked Treasure, the Five Elements Gourd, to aid in his breakthrough.
Fortunately, over the past two months, the Jade Transformation Cave had accumulated enough Spiritual Energy.
Additionally, the grand formation was constantly gathering Spiritual Energy from the outside world.
Otherwise, it might not have been enough to support Lu Qing's breakthrough.
Lu Qing entered the deepest state of meditation, and the "Flame" within the Flame Cauldron also closely observed his breakthrough.
It witnessed Lu Qing continuously absorbing the nearly mist-like Spiritual Energy from the Jade Transformation Cave into his body and was secretly astonished.
This was merely a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Back in the Blaze Sect, it had witnessed countless such moments.
But never before had it seen anyone requiring such an immense absorption of Spirit Energy during their breakthrough.
The commotion, if not for the absence of Heaven Tribulation, was almost comparable to that of a Golden Core Realm breakthrough.
A sense of anticipation arose within "Flame."
Lu Qing's foundation was incredibly robust.
During the Qi Condensation Stage, his physical body had already reached the level of radiating treasure light, comparable to a Body Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
His strength was no less impressive than that of a Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm cultivator.
After this breakthrough, what level would his strength reach?
Within the Jade Transformation Cave, the only light came from the cave walls, which emitted a faint glow, illuminating everything.
Of course, this didn't pose a challenge for "Flame."
As an Artifact Spirit, it wouldn't be easily confused or deceived in its perception.
Its grasp of time was impeccable.
Lu Qing's breakthrough lasted for three days and three nights.
On the morning of the fourth day, his body suddenly trembled, dispersing the thin Spirit Energy around him, causing the entire cave to shudder slightly.
A formidable aura emerged from his body.
It was terrifying, like an ancient giant beast.
Lu Qing opened his eyes, filled with joy.
His breakthrough had been smooth, and although it was a major realm breakthrough, it didn't trigger Heaven Tribulation like when he entered the Primordial Realm before.
There were no difficulties or setbacks along the way; everything flowed naturally, and the breakthrough was achieved effortlessly.
This was the advantage of having a solid foundation and deep accumulation.
Many cultivators struggled through life-and-death situations during their breakthroughs, barely surviving.
Most of them lacked sufficient accumulation and had not solidified their foundations.
Hence, they encountered various obstacles and faced challenging breakthroughs.
"Is this the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
In the Jade Transformation Cave, Lu Qing extended his hand, observing the radiant glow on his skin and sensing the immense power within his body. His expression was unreadable.
At this moment, he could feel that his physical body had become several times stronger than before the breakthrough.
The Spiritual Energy in his Dantian was equally surging and powerful.
Even the Soul Spirit Talisman in his Brow Center Acupoint had significantly enhanced.
If he were to encounter the grey-robed elder monk again, he could probably defeat him using just his physical strength, without the need for other means.
"Congratulations, Young Master Lu, on your successful breakthrough. To achieve the Foundation Establishment Stage at such a young age is indeed a rare feat, even in the Ancient Immortal Era."
"Flame's" phantom appeared beside Lu Qing, offering its congratulations.
"It's just the Foundation Establishment Stage. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Even the Foundation Establishment Stage is merely the beginning. I still have a long way to go," Lu Qing shook his head.
"Flame" remained silent.
Indeed, the Foundation Establishment Stage could only be considered the beginning of cultivation.
In the Ancient Immortal Era, even in some major cultivation sects, cultivators might not have been able to enter the Inner Academy.
But Lu Qing was different.
Although he had just broken through, the aura he exuded was extraordinary.
"Flame" estimated that he could probably even withstand a Golden Core Realm cultivator in a confrontation.
"Senior 'Flame', how much time did my breakthrough take?" Lu Qing asked.
"Not too long, exactly three days."
"Three days? It's a bit longer than I expected," Lu Qing said, somewhat surprised.
"With your substantial accumulation, it's natural for the breakthrough to take longer," "Flame" explained.
"Since we've been out for a while, let's head back now."
Although Lu Qing wanted to test his enhanced strength, the Jade Transformation Cave was a bit cramped, limiting his movements.
Moreover, he had promised Xiaoyan that this trip wouldn't be too long.
He could always test his strength back in the village later.
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his cultivation plan needed adjustments, and he had to plan carefully.
