Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 118 Experiment with Foundation Building, Jade Book Daoist Visits (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)
Once the foundation of the Dao is established, it attracts the baptism of heaven and earth, and spiritual energy flows in.

For a while.

It felt like being immersed in an ocean of spiritual energy, so comfortable and pleasant that a feeling of great joy welled up inside.

His body, which had been nearly drained by the maturation of the Blood God embryo, was rapidly recovering in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Not only does it replenish the depleted essence, energy, and spirit, but it also allows the origin of life to break through its limits, overcome the shackles of physical growth during the Qi Refining stage, and enter a new level.

It is broader and has a higher ceiling.

Furthermore, all the spells, skills, and techniques that Lu Feng had mastered, and even the 100,000 books he had ever seen, all transformed into runes he didn't recognize at this moment of life sublimation, merging into his foundation-building space and disappearing without a trace.

Lu Feng had also heard Su Wangyu mention this peculiar phenomenon.

This is a unique phenomenon during the foundation-building stage.

All the cultivation techniques, spells, skills, and even bloodlines and talents learned will be integrated into the foundation-building space generated by the foundation during the foundation-building process.

It becomes the foundation and basis of the foundational space.

However, most Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot detect this strange change; only those who have forged a high-grade Dao Foundation can feel it faintly.

However, Su Wangyu was not clear about the specific use of it, only that such a change would be beneficial to his future cultivation.

In the Blood God Sect's territory, some elders would give pointers to cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage during their lectures, encouraging them to learn more spells and skills to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Su Wangyu only learned about it at that time. She had practiced many cultivation techniques and spells, and it was only after she had built a high-grade Dao foundation that she truly sensed the changes brought about by these spells during the foundation building process.

Lu Feng carefully sensed and explored the Foundation Establishment space, but when he couldn't find the location of these special runes, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing the search.

Instead, one can fully immerse oneself in the various changes brought about by foundation building.

With the help of the spiritual energy that baptized heaven and earth, Lu Feng's vast, blood-red Foundation Building space immediately began to condense the second drop, the third drop of true essence, and so on until the ninth drop before gradually stopping.

Only a cultivator who has established a low-grade Dao foundation can condense a drop of true essence in the foundation-building space, thanks to the true energy in all the acupoints of their body.

However, the different cultivation methods lead to different results. For example, the Blood River Scripture focuses on expanding the amount of true qi. With abundant true qi, the more acupoints are opened, the more true essence will be condensed during the foundation building process.

Lu Feng had cultivated essence, energy, and spirit to their limits, and the combined effects of several demonic arts, the blood energy of his original vampire bloodline, and the amplification of his magical power by the wisdom technique enhanced his spirit.

These foundational elements allowed him to condense nine drops of true essence during his breakthrough, reaching the limit of a superior-grade Dao Foundation.

In future cultivation, having nine drops of true essence will save a lot of time and energy.

After all, cultivation beyond the Foundation Establishment stage involves the accumulation of true essence.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, one is bathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; how much spiritual energy one can absorb depends entirely on one's own ability.

After completing the breakthrough, Lu Feng opened his eyes. Su Wangyu was resting her chin on her hand, staring intently at him.

"Congratulations, Abbot Lu, on establishing a superior-grade Dao foundation!"

Upon seeing Lu Feng's breakthrough, Su Wangyu immediately clung to him, nestled in his arms, and offered her congratulations.

Witnessing Lu Feng's breakthrough firsthand, Su Wangyu felt as if she were watching the man she had personally nurtured grow up in an instant.

I am genuinely happy for Lu Feng.

Holding Su Wangyu in his arms, Lu Feng's mindset subtly shifted as they were both at the Foundation Establishment stage. He lifted Su Wangyu's delicate chin and smiled:

"Sister Su, you truly understand me! I've only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and you've already offered yourself up as a gift! Let me have a good look at Sister Su's charm!"

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the fellow cultivators were entirely led by Su Wangyu, proceeding cautiously and passively.

Lu Feng didn't dare to provoke Su Wangyu too much, for fear that she would get agitated and crush him.

Now that he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Feng has finally become a worthy opponent of Su Wangyu.

It's time to fight her and see who comes out on top.

"Brother Lu, please have pity on your sister."

Su Wangyu smiled sweetly, transforming into the style of a girl next door, and put her arms around Lu Feng's neck, whispering softly in his ear.

"What a monster!"

Lu Feng sighed, then spurred his horse and galloped away, filling the quiet room with the vibrant colors of spring.

Outside the quiet room.

The commotion of the heavens and earth being cleansed gradually subsided, and it wasn't until two more days later that the commotion subsided.

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu had just emerged from the quiet room.

Lu Feng looked somewhat haggard.

Su Wangyu, radiant with happiness, nestled gently in Lu Feng's arms, her beautiful eyes brimming with a spring-like charm that seemed ready to overflow.

"Master Lu, as you've just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, you should exercise restraint. Strengthening your body is the most important thing. Don't get too caught up in beautiful women!"

Su Wangyu chuckled softly under Lu Feng's resentful gaze.

However, having benefited from Lu Feng's actions, Su Wangyu also fulfilled her duties as a senior and teacher.

After leaving the meditation room, Lu Feng wrapped the two of them in the Blood Shadow Banner and, with the power of the magical artifact, took to the air, flying towards the desolate mountains and wilderness far outside the Xuan Yin Temple.

Unlike the Qi Refining stage, after Foundation Establishment, Lu Feng could easily control the Blood Shadow Banner by activating his magic weapon and taking to the air.

Soaring through the sky, they felt as relaxed and carefree as white clouds or flying birds, without any pressure from the rapid depletion of true energy during the Qi Refining stage.

Lu Feng did a quick calculation and found that with his Foundation Establishment True Essence, a single drop could propel the Blood Shadow Banner to flight for three hours.

During the flight, his foundation-building space continued to automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining it into true essence to restore his strength.

Basically, it consumes no energy and is easy and effortless, like using an extension of your own arm.

If you want to accelerate, the consumption of true essence will be greater.

"If you cultivate a flight spell during the Foundation Establishment stage, you can basically fly freely. The Blood Shadow Divine Art you cultivated has a technique that allows you to transform into a blood shadow. You can't fly far during the Qi Refining stage, but once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can transform into a blood shadow and fly freely!"

During the flight, Su Wangyu gave Lu Fengdao pointers.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng followed Su Wangyu's instructions and activated the Blood Shadow Escape Technique. He immediately transformed into a red and black blood shadow, leaving the blood mist generated by the Blood Shadow Banner artifact and flying freely in the air.

At first, Lu Feng was a little unskilled and flew crookedly, but he quickly adapted to flying freely in the air.

However, compared to using the Blood Shadow Banner artifact to fly, Lu Feng clearly felt that using the Blood Shadow Escape Technique within the Blood Shadow Divine Art consumed more energy.

The difference in true essence consumption is roughly three to four times.

"No wonder you, Sister Su, even though you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, you were still using the Blood Cloud Pouch magic weapon when you took me flying last time. Flying alone consumes a lot of energy, and carrying someone consumes even more. It's much more comfortable to fly with a magic weapon!" Lu Feng said, realizing the depletion of his true essence.

You can use spells to fly during combat.

For everyday travel and getting around, it's clearly much easier and more comfortable to fly using magical artifacts or spirit tools.

Having experienced the transformative power of flight during the Foundation Establishment stage, and landing in the desolate wilderness, Su Wangyu continued:

"Besides flight, another significant change during the Foundation Establishment stage is that after opening up the Foundation Establishment space, some simple Qi Refining level spells can be cast instantly with minimal energy consumption!"

With a simple gesture, Su Wangyu unleashed the Blood Shadow Devouring Curse, a technique Lu Feng used to excel at. It was as effortless as raising his hand or breathing.

Lu Feng also tried it out. He cast the same Blood Shadow Devouring Curse, but his true essence didn't move at all, and the consumption was minimal.

Moreover, the speed of casting spells by thought is extremely fast.

If an enemy at the Qi Refining stage were in front of him, they would be covered by the Blood Shadow Devouring Curse and completely devoured in a single encounter.

The transition from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage represents a qualitative change.

Faced with a difference of one major realm, the Qi Refining stage cultivator is almost powerless against the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

"Moreover, it's not just offensive spells like the Blood Shadow Devouring Curse; the Blood-Colored Protective Curse from the Blood River Scripture can also continuously bless oneself, protecting the body at all times. Moreover, with the addition of Foundation Establishment True Essence, the protective ability will be greatly enhanced."

"If you learn the spells of the Foundation Establishment stage, your defensive capabilities will improve even further. If you also forge a spiritual weapon to protect yourself, it will be almost impossible for a Qi Refining stage cultivator to kill a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"

Su Wangyu's words reminded Lu Feng of the night she single-handedly fought against the Xuan Yin Temple army.

If Su Wangyu hadn't been injured, she could have easily wiped out the entire Xuan Yin Temple by herself.

Apart from the 2-star Treant who could harass her, everyone else from Xuan Yin Temple was nothing but chickens and dogs in front of Su Wangyu, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage.

The difference in their levels of understanding is like an insurmountable chasm.

Fortunately, Lu Feng has now become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he feels that the difference couldn't be better.

"However, although Foundation Establishment cultivators are strong, there are huge differences between Foundation Establishment cultivators at different levels."

"A cultivator with a high-grade Dao Foundation is several levels stronger than a cultivator with a low-grade Dao Foundation, not only in terms of combat power, but also in terms of cultivation speed and future potential. A cultivator with a low-grade Dao Foundation would be crawling along like a dog, and might not even be able to touch the threshold of the Golden Core Realm in a lifetime!"

"There is a significant gap between Foundation Establishment cultivators and demonic beasts, ghosts, and spirits. For example, the treants and abominations in your hands—with your current abilities, suppressing them would be a piece of cake!"

"Another crucial point is that Foundation Establishment cultivators can refine spiritual artifacts. When spiritual artifacts are combined with Foundation Establishment cultivators, they can produce an effect greater than the sum of their parts, which is also a key factor in determining the outcome of the battle!"

Listening to Su Wangyu's teachings, Lu Feng gained a clear understanding of the power of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He and Su Wangyu engaged in a fierce battle in the desolate mountains and wilderness. In the back-and-forth fighting, Lu Feng quickly mastered the power of his Foundation Establishment stage.

However, their exchange hadn't lasted long when Su Wangyu's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the western sky with a somewhat solemn expression.

Su Wangyu frowned slightly: "A foul stench of a bull's nose is wafting over!"

Before she could finish speaking, a hearty laugh echoed from the western sky.

"Hahahaha~"

"Sect Leader Su is as straightforward as ever. Even if you dislike this old Taoist, you shouldn't insult me ​​to my face. It's really too impolite!"

A paper crane drifted down, and the middle-aged Taoist Yu Shu held a talisman pen in one hand and a book in the other, his expression serene, revealing his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

"This person is a Foundation Establishment Taoist from the Jade Cicada Temple in Hongze County. His name is Jade Book Taoist. He is skilled in talisman magic and has a thousand talismans of spiritual weapon level. He is most good at using talismans to smash people!"

Su Wangyu explained the origins of the Jade Book Daoist to Lu Feng.

She had served as the leader of the Blood River Sect in Hongze County for some time and knew the powerful cultivators in Hongze County very well.

This explanation gave Lu Feng a better understanding of the Jade Book Daoist who exuded a scholarly aura.

Lu Feng had naturally heard of the Jade Cicada Temple while he was hanging around Hongze County.

Yu Chan Temple is the leading Taoist sect in Hongze County, standing side by side with Chongfu Temple, which is also the leading Buddhist sect, and they share most of the cultivation resources in Hongze County.

Once upon a time, when the previous abbot of Xuanyin Temple was still alive, he would go to Yuchan Temple in Hongze County every year to report on his duties.

Lu Feng and Yu Chan Temple have some connection.

However, judging from the appearance of the Jade Book Taoist, he doesn't seem to have come to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits.

Even so, when Lu Feng and Su Wangyu, two Foundation Establishment cultivators, stood together, there were still three treants and one dragon-armored abomination in the weapon pouches at their waists.

If a fight really breaks out, Master Yushu might have to stay here.

Therefore, Lu Feng was not afraid at all, and respectfully bowed, saying, "I am the Abbot of Xuan Yin Temple, greetings to Fellow Daoist Yu Shu!"

Lu Feng's words also drew Yu Shu Dao Ren's attention to him.

At first glance, even the Jade Book Daoist was surprised by Lu Feng's Foundation Establishment stage aura.

Lu Feng's face overlapped with the face of the ruthless Lu Feng in his memory, who was not afraid of pain and cultivated the Blood Shadow Divine Art.

His identity and aura hadn't changed much; he was indeed that ruthless Lu Feng.

But how many years has it been?

About seven or eight years later, that little brat who used to cultivate the Blood Shadow Divine Art right under his nose in order to seek revenge on the Xuan Yin Temple cultivators has actually successfully established his foundation and become an existence on the same level as him.

This earth-shattering change was so dramatic that even Daoist Yushu couldn't believe his eyes.

and,

Lu Feng's aura of Foundation Establishment was vigorous and high, which was the state of someone who had just established their foundation. Judging from Lu Feng's appearance, he was not just a low-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator, but at least a mid-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator.

That's amazing!

Could it be that Lu Feng of Xuan Yin Temple has obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter? Or has he become the disciple of some powerful figure?
Upon closer inspection of Lu Feng and Su Wangyu, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Yu Shu Dao Ren.

'No wonder, no wonder! Their auras blended perfectly, as if they were one; they've clearly become Daoist partners. Moreover, Lu Feng also cultivates the Blood River Sect's techniques, and both of them exude a rich bloodline aura. It must be that Su Wangyu, the Blood River Sect's leader, helped him!'

The Jade Book Daoist's gaze lingered on Su Wangyu and Lu Feng.

Instantly, I imagined a scenario where Su Wangyu, like an old cow eating young grass, financially supports Lu Feng and raises him into a Foundation Establishment stage Daoist partner.

Su Wangyu's strength and background are recognized by the Jade Cicada Temple, which dares not act rashly against him, as he is a demon-slaying and monster-eliminating being.

It's quite reasonable that she was able to cultivate Lu Feng into a Dao Foundation.

Seeing the two of them so united, Daoist Yushu lost his will to fight and politely bowed, saying:
"This old Taoist priest, Yu Shu Dao Ren of Yu Chan Temple, greets Fellow Daoist Lu. A few days ago, I heard about Xuan Yin Temple from the Prefect's Office and discovered that the name of the abbot is the same as that of a ruthless person in my memory, and their experiences are quite similar. On a whim, I came to Dongping County to see Xuan Yin Temple and meet Abbot Lu!"
