Immortals Step into Heaven

A faint blue spiritual light gradually emanated from his body, like shimmering water ripples, slowly enveloping him. During his practice, Zheng Yuan felt his thoughts become clearer than ever before. The previously obscure pathways of spiritual energy flow now seemed familiar, and everything flowed effortlessly. In just two weeks, he successfully cultivated the Water Spirit Technique to its thirteenth level.

After completing the Water Spirit Technique, Zheng Yuan didn't pause for long before moving on to the Gold Spirit Technique. The Gold Spirit's power was fierce and sharp, causing a slight sting as it coursed through his meridians. However, Zheng Yuan persevered, relying on his unwavering perseverance and his solid foundation of thirteenth-level Qi training. After three months of unremitting effort, he finally cultivated the Gold Spirit Technique to the thirteenth level.

Zheng Yuan then proceeded to cultivate the Wood Spirit Technique and the Fire Spirit Technique with unwavering method. The vibrant energy of the Wood Spirit and the fiery fury of the Fire Spirit were gradually tamed under his control. Thanks to the solid foundation he had previously laid, Zheng Yuan successfully cultivated each of these techniques to the corresponding level over a period of over three months. With each breakthrough in the five elements of the Five Elements Technique, Zheng Yuan could clearly sense a significant increase in his strength. His aura became deeper and more restrained, and his perception and control of the surrounding spiritual energy became increasingly sharp and refined.

At this point, he had successfully cultivated the Five Elements Art. The power of the five elements circulated endlessly within his body, blending with each other to form a perfect spiritual energy circulation system. Zheng Yuan could clearly feel that his physical strength, spiritual energy reserves, and the power of his spells had all undergone a qualitative leap.

He stood up, spiritual energy surging through him. The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees seemed to be influenced by him, growing more luxuriantly. Zheng Yuan gazed into the distance, his heart filled with pride. He knew that he now possessed even greater strength, and on this path of cultivation, he could explore more unknowns and pursue higher realms. Whether facing the upcoming foundation-building test or the powerful enemies and challenges he might encounter in the future, he had greater confidence and courage.

A few days later, within the cave, Zheng Yuan, after days of meticulous breathing exercises, had finally achieved peak condition. His expression was as calm as water, his deep eyes shone with determination and anticipation. His slender fingers gently grasped a softly glowing Foundation Establishment Pill. In the dim light, the veins on the Pill's surface seemed to radiate a spiritual energy.

Zheng Yuan slowly placed the Foundation Establishment Pill into his mouth. The pill melted instantly, transforming into a surge of intense, incomparably powerful energy. Like a long-trapped beast, finally freed from its leash, this force suddenly unleashed itself within him, surging wildly. Like a surging tide, it rushed first to his internal organs. Suddenly, Zheng Yuan's body felt as if a raging storm had erupted. His liver felt like it had been hammered, yet under the baptism of that power, it gradually shone with a more resilient sheen. His spleen felt as if it had been burned by a fierce fire, yet within the torment, it began to transform, as if mysterious runes were faintly visible on its surface. His lungs felt as if they were swept by a violent wind, yet their breathing became smoother amidst the roaring sound, as if they were absorbing the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth. His kidneys felt as if struck by lightning, releasing a dark impurity amidst the excruciating pain, swept deeper into the depths by the force.

After this force had swept through his internal organs, it didn't pause, instead rushing towards his limbs like a galloping horse. Wherever it passed, muscles seemed to be reshaped, hidden injuries repaired one by one. Under the impact of this force, his tendons and veins became wider and stronger, like channels flowing with spiritual fluid. Zheng Yuan clearly felt his arms and legs filled with an unprecedented strength, as if a slight wave could split mountains and shatter rocks. His body trembled slightly, every inch of his skin undergoing a transformation under this power, undergoing a complete transformation. After a long time, Zheng Yuan refined a foundation-building pill, but he didn't feel any breakthrough, only that his body was much stronger than before.

In the vast rumors of the immortal cultivation world, the idea of ​​a Five Elements spiritual root attempting to establish a foundation was sheer fantasy, a sheer impossibility, as ridiculous as an ant trying to shake a tree. Many immortal cultivators, speaking of this, shook their heads and sighed, deeming it a dead end. No one had ever dared to hope to break through this seemingly insurmountable barrier.

However, Zheng Yuan was no mere parrot. His expression was resolute, his deep eyes revealing a stubborn, unyielding spirit and a steadfast faith in his own convictions. He clutched tightly in his hands nine one-patterned foundation-building pills, their delicate fragrance lingering around his fingertips, as if they held the key to his fate. To him, these nine foundation-building pills were more than just medicine; they were his unwavering support on this arduous path to immortality, the solid foundation that allowed him to defy the impossible and break through the impasse of his Five Elements spiritual root foundation.

Zheng Yuan bit his lower lip, a look of determination flashing across his face. His fingers quickly picked up four Foundation Establishment Pills and swallowed them one by one without hesitation. Instantly, four powerful medicinal forces erupted within him, like a raging mountain torrent, rushing through his meridians. His body trembled violently, veins bulged on his forehead, and beads of sweat rolled down his face like rain, but he still couldn't break through the foundation-building barrier.

Could it be that I really can't break through? No, I will never give up! Zheng Yuan roared in his heart, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand, and took out all the remaining five foundation-building pills. The five foundation-building pills shone with an alluring luster in his palm, as if they were his last hope. Zheng Yuan took a deep breath, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed all five foundation-building pills in one breath. In an instant, an even stronger and more violent force surged in his body. His meridians seemed to be pierced by countless red-hot steel needles, and his internal organs seemed to be hit hard by heavy hammers. He felt as if he was in fire and thunder, enduring unimaginable pain and suffering.

After a moment, Zheng Yuan felt as if a huge bell that had been silent for a long time was suddenly struck in his body. The bottleneck that had been as solid as a rock and had been blocking his path of cultivation finally cracked with a sound like broken glass under the continuous impact of the surging medicinal power.

In an instant, an unprecedented sense of comfort arose from the depths of his dantian, as if the warm spring sun instantly dispelled the long-standing haze and blockages in his body.
