Chapter 236: Foundation Establishment Today

After Language class,

Jiang Ding returned to the dormitory.

The cliff of the past had long since turned into fertile fields, with stalks of golden spiritual wheat swaying in the wind, rippling like waves, leaving only the last trace of green.

A scene of golden autumn.

"Another autumn, time passes like this; I am the only one who remains young."

Jiang Ding sighed lightly.

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword left its sheath, dividing into thousands of sword lights, passing through the wheat fields within a thousand-meter range, going up to the sky and down to the earth, penetrating everywhere, yet not damaging the spiritual wheat in the slightest.

After a few breaths, the sword intent returned, each bringing back small insects.

There were all kinds of species, gathered into a ball, and fell into a pit that had already been dug.

"Approaching maturity, there are more pests."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

His spiritual sense expanded, probing into every wheat field, scanning carefully, and finally reaching a conclusion.

"A bit early, but it can be harvested."

Yes,

After communicating with Dinghai Zhenjun for a period of time, he decided to spend six of his accumulated credits in the coming year to enter the electromagnetic secret realm for closed-door cultivation, maximizing the purification of his magic power and affinity for electromagnetism.

Whoosh!

The Taiqing Flying Sword slashed out with one sword, the sword light magnifying to dozens of meters, slashing across the tops of the wheat fields within a thousand-meter range one by one. The wheat ears stagnated slightly, fell in swaths, were rolled up by the sword light, and brought before him to be placed well.

Slashing out three swords in succession, all the golden spiritual wheat planted in the dormitory area was harvested and stored in his storage jade pendant.

Then, he slashed out another long dragon of sword intent, shattering the wheat stalks and roots, which were rich in slight spiritual power, into powder, returning them to the soil, while also killing pests and diseases.

He went to Jin Ling Mountain and did the same, harvesting about three thousand kilograms of wheat.

"Still the same as before, keep half for myself, sell half, exchange for wood spiritual wheat to give to Mom and Jiang Yuan, Uncle, Aunt, Grandfather, etc., and then symbolically give some to An Siyan and Jin Lingfeng to celebrate the harvest."

Jiang Ding called over an elite kingfisher courier, arranged for all these spiritual wheats, and flew toward the direction of the electromagnetic secret realm.

Ding!

His mobile phone rang; it was a message from the Immortal Sect Library. It should be the identification situation of the specimens sent out a few days ago; it had been like this for the past three years.

However, recently, the new specimens collected were becoming fewer and fewer; the easy ones had all been found.

For the rest, one could only rely on luck, or significantly increase the price to purchase rare spiritual plants and spiritual minerals to obtain new unknown specimens.

It could be said that at least thirty percent of all kinds of specimens in that world had been collected, and it would be difficult to have such an opportunity to pick up library points like this in the future.

After all, even if the terrain, landforms, and climate were different, the animals, plants, and minerals in most places within a world were similar.

As for the results,

They greatly enriched the Immortal Sect Library's database, which had a certain promoting effect on the scientific research and development of various elixirs, materials, etc., in the future.

It was very likely that a certain material or effective ingredient of a certain animal or plant that was needed and previously unavailable was now much richer.

"Turned in Earth Shell Grass, obtained three library points."

"Known mineral, iron ore with copper-green inclusions."

"Known... Unknown..."

A series of library point increase notifications; he was already used to it, not as excited as before.

"This is..."

Jiang Ding's spirit suddenly became excited.

"Known mineral, one of the main materials for artificial electromagnetic spiritual gold, Copper-Nickel Spiritual Gold, failed to obtain library points."

"I seem to be about to get rich?!"

Jiang Ding rummaged through his storage jade pendant in a flurry, taking out the jade slip Han Lin had submitted to him.

"Copper-Nickel Spiritual Gold, the corresponding name is, Gray Earth Iron!"

"Gray Earth Iron, produced from the Lanshan Spiritual Copper Mine. This mine produces Tier 2 spiritual copper all year round, one of the materials for refining top-grade magic tools. Every few decades, it occasionally produces Tier 3 spiritual copper to supply the sect ancestors."

"Gray Earth Iron, an inferior ore associated with the spiritual copper mine, has many impurities, and the spiritual power within it is chaotic and obscure. Refiners cannot use it to refine anything."

"I don't know what the reserves are."

Jiang Ding hurried back to the dormitory and disappeared.

Several hours later,

He appeared again, somewhat disappointed.

"According to Liu Sanqi, the reserves are not large; it was only discovered by accident during the process of mining spiritual copper, and the amount is also very small. It was only discovered in this one spiritual copper mine, not others."

"However, there are only three spiritual copper mines in the Yue Kingdom, so it cannot be completely ruled out that there are other spiritual copper mines in this world accompanied by Copper-Nickel Spiritual Gold."

"Besides that, the Gray Iron Stone accumulated over so many years is still there; there should be more than thirty thousand tons, all of which can be sent to Jin Ling Mountain one after another."

"It can probably refine a few tons of Copper-Nickel Spiritual Gold... The aerospace fighter can save some money, which is okay."

"Made a small fortune of several million low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to two-tenths of a Hundred Ghosts Ancestor avatar."

Jiang Ding was very regretful.

He shook his head, threw these distracting thoughts away, and flew toward the place where the main trunk of the Divine Tree Futianrong was located.

No one was guarding it.

The tall and thick bark, like a wall, opened, revealing a teleportation formation passage.

Jiang Ding stood on it.

"Do you want to spend six credits to teleport to the electromagnetic secret realm and return in one year?"

The voice of the formation spirit came.

"Yes."

Jiang Ding confirmed.

Instantly, the world spun; it was somewhat similar to the college entrance examination simulation, and he felt his magic power and soul shaking and scattering.

Sizzle...

Beside his ears was the sound of electric currents intersecting.

Jiang Ding opened his eyes.

As far as his eyes could see, this was a world where stones of various sizes were floating and flying; there was no distinction between heaven and earth.

Under his feet, it was light and airy, completely without force. With a light tap, a leap of over a hundred meters was easy.

Giant stones the size of carriages were smashing over from afar in swaths, rolling up large swaths of electromagnetic martyrdom explosions along the way, thunder and electric light flickering. Further away, there were even meteorites hundreds or thousands of meters in size, moving in non-random patterns.

Without any magic power aura, the inertia brought about by the massive mass alone was terrifying.

Whoosh!

A pale blue streak of light flashed on Jiang Ding's body, and he performed the Magnetic Suspension Flight Technique to escape into the distance.

"So fast!"

He was like a streak of electric light, bypassing giant stones in an instant, and could even fly up and down around the smashing giant stones, incomparably flexible, his speed at least several times faster than in the outside world.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes to perceive.

In the surrounding sky, electromagnetic power was omnipresent and extremely easy to utilize and absorb. Cultivators of the "Magnetic Fusion Scripture" were like fish returning to water here, incomparably free.

Sizzle...

Jiang Ding felt that just in the short time he had entered here, the magic power in his body was spontaneously absorbing the surrounding electromagnetic spiritual power to replenish itself.

The magic power and electromagnetic spiritual power made the sound of electric currents intersecting and colliding during the collision, and from time to time, bright light was emitted on his body surface and within his body.

Like an electric shock or a short circuit.

In this process, he could clearly feel that his magic power was purified slightly, and the quality was higher.

"As expected of the Immortal Sect's electromagnetic secret realm."

Jiang Ding praised.

After exploring the surroundings for a while, he found that it was incomparably empty and dead silent here. The sky was gray, various meteorites were flying around, and there was not a trace of green.

There was even no gravity; if one were not careful, one would be moved by the surrounding gravitational force and approach a larger meteorite.

Jiang Ding had no special discoveries. He found a meteorite with a diameter of several thousand meters, the Taiqing Flying Sword left its sheath, and he dug a pit on it.

Then he buried himself in it, leaving only his head exposed.

In this way, no matter how the external gravity and gravitational force changed, he could cultivate safely.

After testing it, it was indeed effective.

Whoosh!

The Taiqing Flying Sword found a position beside him, fell happily, and pierced deeply into the hard meteorite.

After a few breaths, cracks appeared on the surface of the meteorite, and a blue-gold tree broke through the soil, over twenty meters high, as thick as an adult's waist, unfolding a wide shade of over forty meters.

Endless electromagnetic spiritual power was attracted, forming a deep blue electromagnetic sun in the shade.

"Let's begin."

Under the tree,

Jiang Ding, with only his head exposed, took the initiative to draw in the electromagnetic spiritual power within a radius of a thousand meters, first purifying it through the shade, and then it all surged into his meridians and dantian.

Sizzle...

He looked inside his dantian.

The electromagnetic spiritual power and the electromagnetic magic power in his dantian gathered and touched again, instantly sizzling, flashing again and again. The resulting impact current made his dantian feel incomparably painful, as if it were about to split open.

"Too much."

Jiang Ding hurriedly slowed down the absorption of electromagnetic spiritual power, only drawing in the electromagnetic spiritual power within a radius of a hundred meters, purifying it through the blue-gold shade, and surging it into his dantian and meridians.

Sizzle...

The collision between the pure electromagnetic spiritual power and the electromagnetic magic power still existed, and flashes were constantly emitted within his body, turning him into a short-circuited humanoid light bulb, his meridians aching faintly.

But it was within a bearable range.

"Not bad, just like this."

Jiang Ding's head, the only part exposed above the ground, nodded with satisfaction.

Time passed slowly.

After more than a month, with the purification of magic power and the adaptation of his meridians and dantian to electromagnetic spiritual power, he gradually expanded the range of absorbing electromagnetic spiritual power.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...

Until seven months later, the full state of one thousand meters!

In this state, the electromagnetic spiritual power within a radius of one thousand meters gathered to the blue-gold tree and surged into his body, constantly purifying his magic power. In this process, it constantly transformed his body and meridians, improving his compatibility with electromagnetic spiritual power.

Time continued to pass.

The magic power aura rose constantly.

Mid-ninth level of Qi Condensation, late stage, peak!

Three months later, when he reached the tenth month of entering the electromagnetic secret realm, his cultivation reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

This was already the pinnacle of the Qi Condensation stage.

Jiang Ding was not in a hurry, continuing to swallow and spit out the electromagnetic spiritual power within a radius of one thousand meters, constantly honing his dantian, meridians, and body, not letting go of a single hair or a fingernail.

Another month later.

Finally, he could advance no further.

No matter how the electromagnetic spiritual power within a radius of one thousand meters gathered, and no matter how it crisscrossed between his meridians and dantian, it did not hurt him in the slightest.

Instead, it was swallowed by the dantian magic power vortex, turning into magic power, making his already full dantian incomparably bloated, almost overflowing.

"Foundation Establishment, it is at this moment."

For the first time in eleven months, Jiang Ding opened his eyes, his voice incomparably calm, without a trace of confusion.

Boom!

The blue-gold tree shook its branches and leaves, and the deep blue sun phantom in the shade shone brightly, regardless of everything, strengthening its speed of swallowing electromagnetic spiritual power.

The range of swallowing spiritual power constantly squirmed on the absolute boundary line of one thousand meters, extending forward.

But there was an invisible soul restriction; as long as it crossed the boundary by one step, it would be pulled back immediately.

This kind of restriction was incomparably firm; no matter how the blue-gold tree struggled, it could not break free, and could only waste the foundation it had accumulated previously.

"Foundation Establishment Technique..."

Jiang Ding had no panic; everything was within his expectations, and the many Foundation Establishment techniques recorded in the Immortal Sect came to his mind.

The dantian vortex suddenly accelerated!

The original dantian vortex's rotation speed was already extremely fast, constantly swallowing and spitting out the electromagnetic spiritual power within a radius of one thousand meters, but at this time, under his urging, the speed suddenly increased several times.

Countless electromagnetic spiritual power was refined and transformed into magic power, making his already bloated dantian suddenly grow a circle larger, with tearing pain.

With the two combined inside and out, amidst a faint cracking sound, the blue-gold tree's range of swallowing electromagnetic spiritual power finally broke through one thousand meters, spreading to the outside world, and it was also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant,

The blue-gold tree grew like a balloon, its diameter becoming twice as thick, its height growing to over forty meters, its shade spreading out, covering an area of one hundred meters in radius!

The range of swallowing electromagnetic spiritual power was also expanding rapidly: one thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters!

Boom!

An unprecedented massive amount of electromagnetic spiritual power surged into his dantian, refined by the high-speed rotating dantian vortex. His dantian expanded again and again. In the end, the dantian wall even turned into a flesh-colored thin film.

Within it, pale blue electromagnetic magic power appeared and disappeared, colliding like flashes from time to time.

The gaseous magic power was constantly gathering and still increasing crazily, trapped in the small dantian and meridians, starting to transform from gaseous to misty.

The magic power in the dantian and meridians was still constantly increasing!

Under the huge pressure, bloodstains began to appear on the dantian and meridians, nearing the limit.

"Let it be like this."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

From beginning to end, everything was precisely calculated; there could be no danger.

Crack!

Following his words, a deep blue sword-shaped lightning appeared in the center of the dantian where the misty magic power gathered, cracking and breaking the fragile balance that had been maintained all along. The dantian Qi Sea rolled incessantly, and the dantian wall swayed left and right.

Amidst the electric light,

The first drop of deep blue magic power took shape!

The appearance of the first drop of liquid magic power was a beginning.

The massive pressure accumulated in the entire dantian had a channel to vent at this time. All the misty magic power surged into the first drop of liquid magic power, making it multiply rapidly, turning into two drops, three drops, four drops...

Pitter-patter raindrops appeared in the dantian, and drops of liquid magic power fell from the sky, accumulating at the bottom of the dantian.

After a long time, all the misty magic power disappeared, and the dantian returned to normal.

At the bottom of the dantian, the liquid magic power had accumulated to about one-third of the position.

"Foundation Establishment, it is done."

Jiang Ding sighed lightly.

Boom!

As the qualitative change of magic power was completed, it surged from the dantian into the meridians of the whole body, nourishing every part of the body. A rumbling sound echoed in his soul, and under this influence, a qualitative change occurred.

The blue-gold tree transformed by the Taiqing Flying Sword trembled even more, feeding back something that had been accumulated for a long time, surging into his soul.

Dari Sword Pavilion, Sword of Dao Foundation!

Since the first qualitative change that appeared during the Primordial stage, the second qualitative change of his soul began!

In his soul, thunder rumbled incessantly, and earth-shaking changes occurred in his sea of consciousness,

Expanding outward, expanding, constantly expanding!

Jiang Ding could clearly see his spiritual sense range jump from three hundred meters to one thousand meters without any effort, which was the average spiritual sense range of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Then it continued to spread.

Two thousand meters!

Three thousand meters!

Four thousand meters!

Spiritual sense covering an area of four thousand meters in radius was four times that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator!

One must know that even for an average peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, the spiritual sense range was only two thousand meters, barely half of what he had now.

Similarly, his current soul strength was four times that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Four times.

This was a boundary. Even for people with the best talent among mortals, their soul was only three times that of the same tier, like Jin Lingfeng and An Siyan. An infant's brain, a human's brain, could only support this much.

A soul four times that of the same tier was a sign of spreading toward the near-immortal realm.

Clang!

In his soul, sword intent rang out, and the sensing range broke through to a distance of ten thousand meters without effort, reaching the minimum range of a Jin Dan cultivator's spiritual sense.

After a long time, all the changes stopped and tended to stabilize.

"Foundation Establishment Realm."

Jiang Ding stood up slowly, his spiritual sense scanning everything within a four-thousand-meter radius, his sword intent sensing everything with a soul within a ten-thousand-meter radius, appearing in his soul in minute detail.

"Why do I feel that Foundation Establishment cultivators are too weak now, and I have a bit of an urge to beat a Jin Dan cultivator to death."

"Illusion, illusion! Calm down."
