Chapter 190: Foundation Establishment Perfection (Please Subscribe)

Outside the Eight Trigrams Pagoda.

"Du En, you should be able to see that Lord Ming intends to recruit you!"

Seeing Du En calm and silent, listening earnestly with no intention of refuting, Fu Yong's gaze suddenly became piercing, appearing even more solemn: "Given your background and starting point, if you want to continue maintaining your self like this, and obtain enough resources, then only Lord Ming can provide them!"

"Therefore, I sincerely suggest that you must consider this carefully and not let down this opportunity that has arrived!"

Opening his heart, repairing the relationship, and then taking the opportunity to act as a lobbyist—this was Fu Yong's plan.

He was just afraid that his previous hostility had ruined Meng Changqing's grand recruitment plan, letting a precious talent like Du En slip away for nothing.

He had even thought about whether to just kowtow and apologize, but Du En did not give him that chance; at this moment, he appeared to have finished listening earnestly and nodded: "I will consider it, I am weighing it."

"That's good, that will do. Since that's the case, I won't disturb you."

Fu Yong let out a breath of relief, and the guards also became cheerful.

However, also because they did not want to disturb Du En, they did not say much more, only thinking that once this matter was over and they returned to Nanmo City, they would certainly have a good gathering to connect and communicate their feelings.

Don't be happy too early, you all.

Du En glanced at these people and silently continued to consume pills and refine them.

Another half a day passed, and fourteen bottles were finished.

The perfection of the Dao foundation reached ninety-nine percent.

The accumulation of cultivation also finally obtained a lift, reaching the 99/100 situation.

Du En slowed down slightly, and amidst the nervous attention of more and more guards, he soon calmly and placidly continued another round of cultivation.

The perfected Firm Spirit Art was already thoroughly mastered; various schools of thought, various experts' words, and various subtleties were self-taught, handled with ease, and flawless.

Following this round of cultivation, the surrounding spiritual Qi and the earth energy hidden in the soil began to be sucked in, and his body also naturally manifested firmness and spirit, becoming translucent and pure, as if carved by the nature of heaven and earth, truly like a work of art.

The face that originally had no prominent points now also looked like a rare treasure, shining and dazzling.

It was truly bright—the kind of bright that made the guards unable to help but look away.

"Who is suddenly turning on a light... oh, it's Du En about to break through. A Firm Spirit Art cultivated to perfection at the late Foundation Establishment stage—it seems there hasn't been one before. To think it would be this bright. Huh, in that case, the follow-up cultivation method he wants seems to be able to..."

Meng Changqing walked out from the bottom of the pagoda at this time, feeling refreshed. Clearly, his means had already been prepared quickly, so he had quite a bit of leisure, and while muttering, he even associated it with something.

However, Du En was not wasting his attention here right now.

He broke through to Foundation Establishment Perfection as a matter of course; the proportion of crystal dust in his magic power reached nine-tenths, his lifespan limit increased by another twenty years, and his divine sense increased by another twenty zhang in range, with a clear increase in penetrability and anti-interference ability.

These all belonged to the predictable; the only surprise was the Upper Dantian Divine Palace.

Due to the battle with Li Jian, it was unexpectedly unearthed and revealed. At this moment, during the breakthrough of cultivation, it was naturally stimulated, making it appear even more obvious, as if one only needed to give it a light push to open the gates of this Divine Palace.

Du En did indeed try to push it, but as expected, he did not succeed; whether it was magic power or Qi and blood, they simply could not touch it.

It looked like it was there, but in reality, it had no substance; only under the inner vision of divine sense did a clue emerge from the illusion.

Then, what about switching to divine sense?

Facts proved that a person cannot lift themselves up head-on.

Divine sense originates from the divine soul, and the divine soul is hidden in the Divine Palace; using divine sense to push the Divine Palace would only result in a backflow to the source, and the goal of pushing it open could not be achieved at all.

Du En had a change of thought, and a flash of inspiration stirred.

He entered a state of enlightenment.

All of a sudden, the originally illusory Divine Palace suddenly became towering and ancient, as if it had existed since the beginning of time, standing so realistically in front of him.

He raised his hand to look again and found that in the state of enlightenment, he had already acquired a crystal-framed outline, and the brightness of the light was even higher; he was practically a human-shaped crystal lamp.

He stretched out both hands again, attempting to push open the gates of the Divine Palace.

Still couldn't push it.

However.

With his palms pressed against the gate, he could vaguely feel another self inside through this towering door.

A quite magical feeling!

In this instant, it was as if he were one mind in two bodies, or as if one body were split into two different fields of vision, with his self on the middle line, one side on this end and the other on that end.

It was quite novel, but because he could not comprehend any divine abilities from it, and it was just an advance understanding and feeling of his own divine soul, Du En did not linger too much on this side and soon exited the state of enlightenment.

He opened his eyes calmly, and while seeing the others, he also saw his own panel.

【Age: 29/293】

【Spiritual Root: Low Grade】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Perfection (0/100)】

【Cultivation Method: Firm Spirit Art (Perfected to the Extreme)】

【……】

"Although you just broke through and it's not very good to ask this, but how is it? How close has the Grudge Evil gotten?"

Meng Changqing first let Fu Yong call the others to start preparing, then came directly to Du En and asked this.

"Probably about a thousand zhang away, based on the distance inferred from previous experiences."

"Hmm, the evil things should be coming out soon too. Although the mark I left hasn't been triggered yet, just in case, we cannot continue to stay here; we must transfer as soon as possible."

Following Meng Changqing's order, the group quickly entered a capable and silent state.

However, at this time, Du En thought of a bold idea, so he discussed it with him.

"Will it work?"

"Seems like it will?"

"Try it?"

"Try it!"

Finally, with these words, the discussion ended.

The pace of the group's transfer and departure also paused for a short while because of this.

At the same time, on the other side.

Gurgle~

In that dim underground palace, the remnants of the sacrificial ritual pushed to their final stage, and the viscous, turbid, purplish-red colloid that had bred was wantonly expanding and spreading; it had already filled this vast underground space and was overflowing through the corridors, but it was fundamentally insufficient to release the pressure it had accumulated.

Dark in its purple, vivid in its red, evil nature brewing.

After reaching a peak, just like a volcano erupting violently, amidst a booming roar, the underground palace, along with the portion of the ground above it, blossomed open entirely, and twisted evil creatures fell like raindrops in all directions, covering the area completely.

Plop!

From the smashed architectural debris, they shook their heads, breathed heavily, began to lift their heads, stood up one after another, greedily breathed the air, and instinctively welcomed their own mindless rebirth.
