Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

After the evil cultivators of Qingtai Market were brought to justice, Shen Mo focused his main energy on consolidating his own realm, deducing the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation method, and guiding the core disciples in their cultivation.

Resources are beginning to be allocated more towards disciples who have the potential to break through their limitations.

The first to be affected were Su Xiao and Shi Tie, who had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Inside the quiet room beside the Enlightenment Cave, spiritual energy filled the air. Su Xiao sat cross-legged, his aura flowing harmoniously around him, subtly resonating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The "Flowing Cloud Dao Body" she cultivated was inherently inclined towards agility and control, and after three years of accumulation, her foundation was extremely solid.

Shen Mo sat opposite him, a wisp of pure Foundation Establishment spiritual power swirling around his fingertips, and slowly touched Su Xiao's brow.

"Junior Sister Xiao, the key to Foundation Establishment lies in 'condensing Qi into liquid and uniting spirit with Qi.' You have a solid foundation, a calm temperament, and are particularly adept at controlling spiritual power, which are your advantages."

"However, one must not lose one's edge in the pursuit of stability. Building a foundation is like rowing against the current; it requires a resolute determination, like burning one's boats and concentrating on a single point."

"Later, I will activate the 'Small Spirit Gathering Array' in the meditation room at full power to help you gather spiritual energy."

"You need to open your mind and guide your spiritual energy to break through the barrier in your dantian. I will be there to protect you and lend you a helping hand at the crucial moment."

Su Xiao opened her bright eyes, her gaze clear and firm: "Sect Leader, rest assured, Xiao'er understands. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

She closed her eyes again and focused all her energy on circulating her internal energy.

A moment later, the array patterns carved in the quiet room lit up one by one, and rich spiritual energy surged towards Su Xiao like a tide.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, her face gradually flushed, and the speed at which her spiritual energy flowed within her suddenly accelerated, launching an attack on that invisible barrier!

Once, twice... The barrier was solid, and the force of the recoil made her blood and qi surge.

But she was determined and kept in mind Shen Mo's teachings. She was not impatient and kept adjusting the angle and frequency of her spiritual energy impact, which was like mercury flowing into the ground, penetrating everywhere.

Shen Mo kept a close watch with his divine sense and saw that although Su Xiao was struggling a little, his rhythm was not disrupted and his Dao heart was stable, which reassured him.

This continued for about two hours, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Xiao's forehead, and his breathing began to become erratic.

Just as her spiritual power was about to be exhausted, Shen Mo's gaze sharpened, and he pointed his fingers like a sword, striking out from afar!

A wisp of pure and peaceful Foundation Establishment spiritual energy, like a fuse, quietly merged into Su Xiao's torrent of spiritual energy!

"Now! Freeze!"

Su Xiaofu had a sudden inspiration. With a delicate shout, she gathered all her divine will and spiritual power and launched a final attack on the barrier that had already developed fine cracks!

"boom!"

As if thunder had struck in spring, and the frozen river had thawed! Within Su Xiao's dantian, the massive gaseous spiritual energy was frantically compressed inward, eventually transforming into a drop of crystal-clear liquid true essence!

Then, a second drop, a third drop... the rain of true essence drizzled down, forming a stream!

A powerful vitality emanates from within, cleansing the marrow and strengthening the spirit!

Foundation established, complete!

Su Xiao slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with divine light, his aura profound, indicating that he had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage!

Feeling the surging power within her and the renewed sense of life, she was overwhelmed with emotion and rose to bow deeply to Shen Mo: "Thank you so much for your protection, Senior Brother Sect Leader!"

Shen Mo smiled and nodded: "It's because you've accumulated enough experience that this has come to you naturally. Focus on consolidating your cultivation level. As for the sect's affairs, I'll need your help in the future."

"Yes!" Su Xiao replied respectfully.

The news of Su Xiao's successful Foundation Establishment once again invigorated the entire sect!

The eldest disciple's successful Foundation Establishment meant that the Qingyun Sect had its second Foundation Establishment cultivator! The young disciples were overjoyed and full of confidence for the future.

However, when it came to Ishitetsu, the situation was quite different.

A few days later, in another secret room prepared specifically for body cultivators and equipped with the "Thick Earth Gathering Yuan Array," the atmosphere was frighteningly heavy.

Shi Tie sat cross-legged, shirtless, his bronze skin radiating a powerful, surging energy that roared like magma.

The "Giant Spirit Shaking Mountain Technique" he cultivated was fierce and domineering, and the foundation-building process was also full of dangers.

Shen Mo stood to the side with a serious expression, while Han Lin, Zhao Qingyan, Li Xiaocao, and others waited anxiously outside.

"Junior Brother Tie, your vital energy is abundant and your will is strong; this is the foundation for your foundation. But rigidity cannot last, and fierceness is easily broken."

"At the critical stage of foundation building, one must combine strength and gentleness, find a trace of control in the extreme rage, and transform the qi and blood from 'dispersed' to 'condensed,' and refine 'essence' from 'qi'."

"The process will be extremely painful, and there is even a risk of your qi and blood rushing backward and your body exploding. You must guard your mind and guide your qi and blood back to your dantian. You must not relax in the slightest!" Shen Mo solemnly instructed.

Shi Tie grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "Don't worry, Sect Leader! I'm thick-skinned, I can handle it! This time, I'm determined to overcome this Foundation Establishment hurdle!"

The formation was activated, and the essence of the earth mixed with rich spiritual energy surged into Shi Tie's body.

He groaned, his muscles bulging, veins popping, and his blood circulation increasing several times over! The temperature inside the sealed room rose sharply, and the air itself seemed to distort slightly!

The assault begins! Shi Tie's method is simple and brutal: to use absolute force to smash the barrier!

Each impact produced a deafening roar like a drumbeat, and the recoil caused blood to spill from his mouth and nose, but his eyes were fierce, and he ignored it all, gathering his energy and blood again and again to charge forward frantically!

"This is bad!" Shen Mo frowned.

Shi Tie's method is far too dangerous! Before the barrier has even loosened, his meridians have already been severely damaged. If this continues, he will be seriously injured before he can even establish his foundation!

Seeing that Shi Tie's aura was becoming disordered, his face was flushed red, and his blood and qi were showing signs of getting out of control, Shen Mo made a decisive decision!

He flashed and appeared behind Shi Tie, pressing a palm against a major acupoint on his back!

The pure and gentle Foundation Establishment spiritual energy surged in, not by forcibly suppressing it, but by guiding the violent blood and qi, making its impact more concentrated, while protecting its heart and main meridians.

"Focus your mind on your dantian! Guide your qi back to its origin! When it disperses, your strength is weak; when it gathers, your strength is strong! Condense!" Shen Mo shouted in a low voice, which resonated like a great bell, penetrating Shi Tie's sea of ​​consciousness.

Shi Tie shuddered violently, suddenly regaining his senses and realizing his recklessness.

He gritted his teeth and calmed his mind, following Shen Mo's guidance, trying his best to control his raging blood and qi, so that it would no longer rush aimlessly, but instead, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, it would converge and compress towards a single point in his dantian!

The pain intensified several times over! It felt as if countless steel needles were piercing and forging inside his body! Shi Tie let out a beast-like growl, sweat pouring down his face, yet he stubbornly persevered.

Once, twice... After an unknown amount of time, just as Shi Tie's consciousness was about to fade—

"Thump!"

A deep, resounding boom, like the heartbeat of the earth, emanated from his dantian!

The immense vital energy was finally compressed to its limit, transforming into a single drop of dark red essence blood, heavy as mercury and radiating astonishing energy! Then came the second drop, the third drop…

The foundation has been laid, but the process was fraught with peril!

Shi Tie collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. His body was as if he had been pulled out of the water, extremely weak, but his eyes were filled with the ecstasy of surviving a disaster and exhaustion.

"It's done...it's done! Sect Leader! I...I've also reached the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Shen Mo withdrew his hand, letting out a sigh of relief, sweat beading on his forehead.

Helping Shi Tie build his foundation was more dangerous than he had anticipated. This boy's cultivation method was unique, and his temperament was fierce. If he hadn't intervened in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Take good care of your breathing to stabilize your foundation. Your foundation building is extraordinary. In the future, you will need to pay more attention to the precise control of your power."

"I...I understand..." Shi Tie replied weakly, but his face broke into a wide smile.

With two core disciples successfully establishing their foundations in succession, the entire Qingyun Sect was filled with joy and high morale.
