I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

Fengchuan spent several days carefully reading all the books about foundation building.

Now, I finally understand every detail and key point of foundation building.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye since the gathering of spiritual energy reached its peak.

The foundations that needed consolidation and improvement have been solidified.

It's time to take that step!

However, some preparations are still needed, and there is no need to act rashly.

Stepping out of the dojo, he took out his flying sword with a thought, took a step, and rode the sword into the air, heading swiftly towards Qingyun Peak.

My master had already given me instructions beforehand, telling me to go see her when I decided to establish my foundation.

After a little over an hour, they arrived outside the sect leader's main hall.

"Disciple Fengchuan requests an audience with Master!" Fengchuan reported from outside the hall.

"Come in!" Bai Linglong's voice came from inside.

As Fengchuan entered the main hall, he immediately bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

"Disciple, no need for formalities! How has your cultivation been lately? What brings you here today?" Bai Linglong asked.

"Disciple thanks Master for your concern. My cultivation has been going quite smoothly lately!"

Moreover, after three years of reflection, I feel that I have now completed all the basics.

His cultivation level had also been honed to the point where it could not be improved any further.

Therefore, I feel it's time to take that step!

"I came here specifically to ask my master for advice on matters related to Foundation Establishment!" Feng Chuan replied truthfully.

"Yes, that's right, it's definitely time!"

Over the past three years, many of your disciples who were previously lagging behind have now caught up!

"If we don't establish our foundation soon, we'll probably be surpassed by the other disciples very soon!" Bai Linglong said.

Then she sighed, "Actually, you can already enter the Foundation Establishment stage when you comprehend the first true meaning."

But you still persevered and spent three years cultivating your character. I am very satisfied with this attitude!

Now that you have grasped the seven fundamental truths, it is indeed time to lay the foundation.

Moreover, Foundation Establishment will be a piece of cake for you, so I have no worries about that at all.

However, his subsequent promotion made me somewhat worried.

As you probably already know, the more complex the foundation of the Great Dao, the more difficult it is to advance further.

You need to be mentally prepared!

After all, you have comprehended the seven great truths. If you do not want to waste these truths, you must build the seven foundations.

I have great confidence in your comprehension, but those seven foundations are all extraordinary!

If an ordinary person can grasp even one of these points, their future achievements will be limitless.

But if you suddenly grasp seven things, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing!

You need to handle all of this with care, my disciple, do you understand?

After thinking carefully for a moment, Feng Chuan replied, "Master, this disciple already has a plan in mind!"

Seeing the resolute look on her disciple's face, Bai Linglong knew that it was a good thing that her disciple had a firm Dao heart!

So Bai Linglong said, "Alright, since you've made your plans, I'll arrange it for you."

"Once I have arranged everything, I will send someone to inform you. You should go back and make preparations!"

"Yes, Master. This disciple thanks Master and takes his leave!" Fengchuan replied and then withdrew.

After flying on the sword for more than an hour, we returned to the dojo and arrived at the small lake.

He spread his spiritual senses, found Xiao Cai, and transmitted his thoughts to her: "Xiao Cai, come to Guanhu Pavilion quickly."

Toyokawa arrived at the lake-viewing pavilion and waited for a moment before Xiaocai swam over.

Now Xiao Cai has grown quite a bit, over a foot long, and her colors have become even more vibrant.

"Big brother, what do you need Xiao Cai for?" Xiao Cai asked with a puzzled look.

"Xiao Cai, what level have you reached in your cultivation?" Feng Chuan asked.

"Thanks to the abundant spiritual energy here, Xiao Cai has now cultivated to the second-stage perfect realm!" Xiao Cai replied.

"Hmm, good, Xiao Cai did a great job! Now that I've also reached the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage, it's time to sign the contract!" Feng Chuan said.

"Huh? Really? Big brother!" Xiao Cai looked at Feng Chuan with an expectant expression and asked.

"Yes, really!" Toyokawa replied affirmatively.

"Yay! Xiao Cai is finally going to sign a contract with Big Brother! Xiao Cai can finally transform into human form!" Xiao Cai said excitedly.

"Oh? Xiao Cai can transform into human form once she reaches the third tier?" Toyokawa asked.

“Yes, little brother! Once the Three-Colored Spirit Carp reaches the third tier, it can choose to transform into human form!” Little Color replied.

"Okay! I look forward to the moment when Xiao Cai transforms into human form!"

"Alright, you should get ready too. We'll sign the contract in a few days," Toyokawa said.

“Okay, big brother!” Xiao Cai replied.

Afterwards, Toyokawa returned to his training room and pondered what preparations he should make.

There wasn't much to prepare, after all, we'd already spent three years preparing.

The first step is to sign a contract with Xiao Cai, and then break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop.

He had no intention of giving up on any of the seven true meanings; he had absolute confidence in his own comprehension.

Because he also has another reliance, namely his special spiritual body.

He looked forward to the immense benefits that the special spiritual entity would give him after he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Afterwards, Toyokawa returned to Kanko-tei and made himself a cup of tea.

Sipping tea while gazing at the scenery outside the pavilion.

As the sun rose and set, and the seasons changed, Toyokawa's mind gradually settled into a state of tranquility.

A few days later, a guard came to inform them that the sect leader wanted to see Toyokawa.

Without saying a word, Fengchuan summoned Xiaocai and used his spiritual power to put her into his spirit beast pouch.

The secret guards arrived at the sect leader's main hall.

"Disciple pays respects to Master," Toyokawa bowed.

"Disciple, no need for formalities. Your master has already made arrangements. Let's go, I'll take you there!"

After Bai Linglong finished speaking, she didn't delay and immediately flew forward on her sword.

Toyokawa also mounted his sword and followed behind his master.

After flying for several hours, they arrived at a place that looked like a sinkhole.

Bai Linglong flew directly into the sinkhole.

It continued to drop for another fifteen minutes before finally reaching the bottom.

The underground is filled with glowing stones, making the place appear spacious and bright.

Follow a path toward the center. Before long, you'll come to a high platform.

The spiritual energy here is exceptionally rich; if it weren't for those glowing stones, it would be impossible to see anything at the bottom of the sinkhole.

The spiritual energy transformed into a thick fog, swirling throughout the space, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

They stood still beside the high platform.

"This place is called Cangling Abyss, a place where spiritual veins converge for our Qingyun Sword Sect."

This is generally used by important figures in a sect to break through to higher realms.

"That's why I applied for permission to use this place when you were about to establish your foundation," Bai Linglong said.

As Bai Linglong finished speaking, two more people walked over.

Toyokawa knew one of them, but had never seen the other white-haired man before.

"Disciple, this is your grandmaster, Helian Jianji. He is also my master."

"You've already met this person next to you, our Qingyun Sword Sect's patriarch, Baili Xingyun!" Bai Linglong introduced him to Feng Chuan.

"Disciple Fengchuan pays respects to Grandmaster and Ancestor!" Fengchuan bowed to the two of them.

"Haha, no need for formalities, grand-disciple!" Helian Jianji was very pleased and laughed loudly.

"Hehe, little guy, we meet again!" After saying that, Ancestor Xingyun's expression changed, and then returned to normal in an instant.

"Oh, Grandpa Baili, it's you! This disciple thanks the Ancestor!" Feng Chuan exclaimed in surprise, bowing again as he spoke.

It turns out that Baili Xingyun's appearance in that instant was actually the old man that Fengchuan met when he was fishing for spirit fish in Qiandao Wanhua Lake.

Now Toyokawa finally understood why he felt a strange sense of familiarity when he saw Baili Xingyun after comprehending sword intent in the library.

It turns out that Ancestor Xingyun had been secretly protecting him and safeguarding his path all along!

This is a great favor. You know, the sect's patriarch is usually used as the pillar of the sect!

The fact that Ancestor Ke Xingyun personally protected him shows how much the Ancestor valued him!

"Haha, no need for formalities! The little fellow is quite good!" said Ancestor Xingyun with a smile.
