The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Practicing a new technique requires switching to a different technique, not dispersing one's cultivation, but it still takes some time.

After acquiring the Purple Lightning Control Technique, Lu Yao lost much interest in the Azure Origin Sword Technique.

The Azure Origin Sword Technique is also a Nascent Soul cultivation technique. Although it has the effect of avoiding the bottleneck of Core Formation, for Lu Yao, it is not much different from the Purple Lightning Control Technique.

Furthermore, obtaining the Azure Cloud Sword Manual would require considerable effort, which is completely unnecessary. One can refer to it later if the opportunity arises.

With this in mind, Lu Yao began the process of transforming his cultivation, which required him to slowly re-condense the magical power within his body and convert it into lightning spiritual power.

……

"What did you say?! He refused!"

Inside the Qingyue Palace, Zhou Qingning's face was icy cold, and a chill permeated the entire hall.

"Ahem, junior sister, it's normal for young people to have their own ideas, especially when it comes to matters of Daoist partners."

"Moreover, the matching of Daoist partners within the sect is based on mutual consent, so it's not appropriate to force it too much, is it?"

Old Monster Qiong was also somewhat embarrassed, after all, he had come to borrow the Hundred Spirit Pool, but this was the result.

"Senior brother, there's no need to say anything more. Since this disciple doesn't have this idea for the time being, let him be. The sect will allow such a talented disciple."

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Qingning's face, as if she didn't care at all.

"It's good that you understand, junior sister."

Old Monster Qiong was also somewhat helpless. He could only do this to his junior sister, after all, the difference in their cultivation levels was obvious.

"My junior brother has just accepted a new disciple. I would like to offer this small gift to him on my behalf."

Zhou Qingning took out a storage bag and handed it to Old Monster Qiong.

"Then I will thank my junior sister on behalf of my unworthy disciple."

Old Monster Qiong took the storage bag and said to Zhou Qingning with a smile.

"Then I won't bother you any longer, Junior Sister. Come to my cave sometime for some tea."

After speaking to Zhou Qingning, Qiong Laoguai turned and left.

After Old Monster Qiong left, Zhou Qingning's expression immediately turned cold.

"Ridiculous!"

After coldly uttering those words, Zhou Qingning disappeared from the main hall.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The newly joined disciples were all settled in and began their cultivation within the sect. More than two hundred Foundation Establishment Pills were also provided, and many disciples began to take them one after another.

Most of the disciples who received the Foundation Establishment Pill were at or above the tenth level of Qi Refining, and they could directly take the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through.

Therefore, no one could hold back; they all returned to their respective caves to conserve their magical power, ready to break through at any time.

Unfortunately, even with the help of Foundation Establishment Pills, the success rate of breaking through to a higher realm is pitifully small.

Within a month, most disciples had consumed the Foundation Establishment Pill, but only a dozen or so disciples had successfully broken through to the next level.

The probability is less than 10%, which is frighteningly low.

Most people will have to wait until the next day when Foundation Establishment Pills are distributed, or they will have to find other ways.

In just over a month, Lu Yao successfully converted all his magical power.

At this moment, his magic power no longer possessed the characteristics of water; instead, it was filled with a violent, pale purple magic power.

Inside the cave, Lu Yao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of purple lightning disappearing from them.

"Haotian Pearl! Investigate!"

Name: Lu Yao

Lifespan: 46/9847

Spiritual Roots: Water, Wood, Thunder

Realm: Entering the Saintly Realm (Limit)

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 13 (Perfect)

The Origin of the World:

Cultivation techniques: Purple Lightning Control Technique, Black Tortoise True Skill, Sacred Heart Technique (incomplete)...

Dan Yi: Yellow-grade, medium quality

Treasures: Dragon Vein, Yata Mirror, Flying Sword Talisman, Thunder Soul Pearl...

The Water Control Technique disappeared and was replaced by the Purple Lightning Control Technique.

Taking out the bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Yao swallowed it directly and began to activate the Haotian Pearl.

"Haotian Pearl! Enhance it!"

A milky white light enveloped Lu Yao, beginning to elevate his cultivation level.

The Haotian Pearl can raise Lu Yao's cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage, but it requires Foundation Establishment Pills to provide the foundation of his magical power, creating the illusion that Lu Yao purely relied on Foundation Establishment Pills to raise his cultivation, thus preventing Old Monster Qiong from probing his body.

Lu Yao wasn't worried about being discovered by Qiong Laoguai because of the Haotian Pearl, but taking the Foundation Establishment Pill would leave traces in his meridians, which made Lu Yao wary.

The milky white light dissipated, and at the same time, a burst of medicinal power erupted within Lu Yao's body, impacting his cultivation level.

The origin of the world: →

The nearly 70,000 units of world origin propelled Lu Yaodu's cultivation level to the early Foundation Establishment stage.

The consumption of the world's origin is enormous. Lu Yao only spent 120,000 world origins to go from the first level of Qi Refining to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining perfection.

Judging from the fluctuations transmitted by the Haotian Pearl, to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it would probably require more than 200,000 World Origin, which is double the original amount.

Fortunately, Lu Yao's Free and Unfettered Space is constantly growing, and he can earn about 30,000 to 40,000 units of World Origin every month, and the rate of increase will continue to rise.

In other words, Lu Yao only needs a year at most to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage with the help of the Haotian Pearl.

Such speed is unparalleled in the mortal world. Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root and abundant resources, it would take decades. This shows just how fast Lu Yao's speed is.

Of course, a cultivator's strength is not just about their realm; spells, magical artifacts, and rare treasures are also standards for judging strength.

With powerful treasures and secret techniques, it's possible to turn the tide and defeat an opponent even if they are in a lower realm.

However, once Lu Yao breaks through to the Core Formation stage, no amount of treasures will be of any use to Foundation Establishment cultivators. Therefore, as long as Lu Yao breaks through his cultivation level quickly enough, no one can defeat him.

The function of the Foundation Building Pill is to provide strong magical power support and protect the dantian meridians of the user.

Lu Yao felt his magical power begin to boil, and the misty magical power in his dantian began to condense. Under the influence of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it began to solidify and was about to turn into water droplets.

This is the first hurdle of Foundation Establishment—the Mana Hurdle. It involves condensing the misty mana of the Qi Refining stage into a watery state. This state of mana, in terms of both spiritual pressure and intensity, far surpasses the misty mana of the Qi Refining stage.

It has been said that if one attempts to break through from the tenth to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, there is a possibility that the breakthrough will fail because the mist-like magic power is insufficient and cannot condense into water-like magic power.

However, Lu Yao's magical power was extremely solid, so it was a natural outcome.

In Lu Yao's perception, all the misty magical power in his dantian condensed directly into a drop of water-like magical power, which meant that Lu Yao had passed the first test.

The medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill immediately reached the top of his head, stimulating Lu Yao's sea of ​​consciousness.

Then began the second stage of breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage—the stage of Divine Consciousness.

The hallmark of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is the possession of divine sense, which allows them to control objects and unleash soul attacks or defenses.

However, Lu Yao's martial arts realm had reached the Saintly Realm, and his divine soul had already been strengthened. In addition, his realm had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, making it easy for him to condense his divine consciousness.

The final medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill began to flow throughout the body, proceeding to the final and simplest of the three stages of Foundation Establishment—the Dao Body Stage.

This test is easy; as long as the body is not affected by the magical power in the dantian, it is considered passed. Generally, only cultivators with physical defects will be stumped by this test.
