Chapter 224: Three-Gate Foundation Establishment

"Yuan Dasheng?!" Zhu Xuanji's pupils constricted, and he stood there, stunned for a good while.

"It actually really is Yuan Dasheng?"

He hadn't considered this possibility before, but the moment this thought arose, he quickly dismissed it.

Because in Zhu Xuanji's view, the Mechanism Demon General was definitely Jin Dan level combat power!

Inside it, the True Scripture recorded on the Blood Path Board should also at least be at the Jin Dan level.

If not, then this Blood Path Board would not exert much effect on a Jin Dan level Mechanism Demon General.

Yuan Dasheng was not a Jin Dan level demon cultivator; its outward performance had always been Foundation Establishment level combat power.

Before it revealed its demonic arts, even the entire Monkey Head Gang believed it had no cultivation base itself.

Not long ago, Zhu Xuanji led three Jin Dan ancestors to break into the depths of Fire Persimmon Mountain and fight those Fire-Melting Demon Apes.

Those Fire-Melting Demon Apes were all demon beasts, possessing Jin Dan level combat power by virtue of their own formidable bodies, without practicing any techniques.

Yuan Dasheng's impression on outsiders was just like this; it was just a demon beast raised by Yuan Yi, not a demon cultivator.

"Before Yuan Dasheng died, it was at most quasi-Jin Dan level combat power."

"If it had mastered a Jin Dan level True Scripture, why didn't it practice it?"

"If it had practiced and possessed a Jin Dan level True Scripture, how could it still be at Foundation Establishment level combat power?"

"If it were a Jin Dan level demon cultivator, it wouldn't have been unable to protect Yuan Er or save its own life."

Although Zhu Xuanji observed at the Fire Persimmon Festival that Yuan Dasheng had some foundation in demonic cultivation.

But Zhu Xuanji knew very well that this foundation was far from reaching the Jin Dan level!

At this time, in Zhu Xuanji's mind, all kinds of thoughts were complex and chaotic, constantly surging.

Scene after scene from past memories flashed frequently in his mind.

It was as if he had returned to the day of the Fire Persimmon Festival; under the vision of the Heavenly Beauty Golden Eyes, he saw Yuan Dasheng.

It wanted to push its demonic arts, but it forcibly suppressed them itself, and in the end, did not use them.

It was heavily injured and dying; if it hadn't been for Zhu Xuanji's rescue, it would have died long ago!

Zhu Xuanji also saw himself, along with the Zhou family's Jin Dan ancestor and Fei Si, blowing off the roof and breaking into Chen Cha's mechanism workshop.

The three of them checked Yuan Dasheng's corpse separately and found that the body had just begun to be processed, but the blood in its body had already been drained.

"Seeing" this, Zhu Xuanji's heart shook slightly, and he couldn't help but think: "Many parts in the Mechanism Demon General are related to essence blood."

"The demonic arts on the Blood Path Board very likely specialize in essence blood."

"But when we arrived at the workshop, Yuan Dasheng was already dead, and all the essence blood in its body had been extracted."

"This action was really fast."

Yuan Dasheng, the demonic path True Scripture related to essence blood, and another key figure—the third-level Qi Refining, young cultivator, little character—Ning Zhuo!

"Good, a very good little character, Ning Zhuo!"

"I, Zhu Xuanji, was actually deceived by you."

After realizing this, Zhu Xuanji immediately put away the Mechanism Demon General, crashed through the roof, and soared into the sky.

Ning Zhuo's soul returned to his physical body, descending into his own underground secret chamber.

He activated the Floating Cloud Sash, his whole body shrouded in layers of white clouds.

Not long after.

Wrapped in the floating clouds, Ning Zhuo's face was full of hesitation.

After his soul returned to his body, he raced against time to start comprehending the Foundation Establishment method.

Upon careful comprehension, he discovered that this Foundation Establishment method had quite a few discrepancies with what he had imagined.

"The Foundation Establishment method I obtained uses the Spirit Sea as the main base point, with the other two dantians as supplements, to break through and finally become a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator."

"But according to my past knowledge, shouldn't the three dantians be equal, and shouldn't one take one as the focus and then break through simultaneously?"

"The Foundation Establishment method I obtained clearly takes the Mirror Platform Spirit-Connecting Technique as the main focus, with the other two techniques as supplements."

"Is this the true arrangement of the Three Sects' Superior Person? Or are there two other Foundation Establishment methods on the other two paths, with different focuses than the one in my hand?"

"Next time I explore the Immortal Palace, should I ask the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit?"

"If I can't contact it, then I need to clear the other two paths and collect all the Foundation Establishment methods to know the truth."

A feeling in Ning Zhuo's heart told him that his guess was correct.

Only by collecting all the Foundation Establishment methods, merging and combining them, and then breaking through, could one achieve the true meaning of three-dantian simultaneous cultivation Foundation Establishment!

"If I had known this situation, I should have asked the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit at that time."

Ning Zhuo sighed.

His action to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage could only be delayed.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, deep in the main hall of the Immortal Palace, was also sighing.

After Ning Zhuo's soul returned to his body and he left the Lava Immortal Palace, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit cast its gaze upon him.

It did not forcefully spy on Ning Zhuo, so as not to trigger the intense consumption of the floating clouds.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit sighed in its heart: "The true Foundation Establishment method is probably not something that can be hidden from Ning Zhuo."

Ning Zhuo's guess was not wrong!

The truly complete Foundation Establishment method must be obtained by a trial disciple who completely clears all three paths, collects all three parts, and merges them.

This is not to say that the technique Ning Zhuo obtained now is incomplete. In fact, he can also use it.

This was a deliberate arrangement by the Three Sects' Superior Person.

This technique is mainly suitable for those trial disciples who have only cleared the Buddhist path but do not have much talent in the other two paths.

As for this group of people, they can still use this cultivation technique to achieve Foundation Establishment, so they won't get stuck here and be unable to proceed with subsequent cultivation.

When the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit communicated with Ning Zhuo, it deliberately avoided this topic.

At that time, Ning Zhuo had not yet delved deeply into the Foundation Establishment method and had not noticed this problem, allowing the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit to temporarily fool him.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit knew the inside story: only by collecting the complete Foundation Establishment method could one perform the true meaning of simultaneous breakthrough of the three dantians.

Foundation Establishment cultivators who advance this way will receive close attention and strong support from the Lava Immortal Palace.

In a word, a cultivator who truly achieves three-dantian simultaneous cultivation Foundation Establishment is the True Inheritor seed prepared by the Lava Immortal Palace!

Deep within the floating clouds.

Ning Zhuo temporarily put aside the Foundation Establishment method and quietly sensed the Medical Hall Master Token in his mind.

This position plaque was surprisingly a magic treasure. Therefore, it could be directly taken into Ning Zhuo's dantian for nourishment.

Ning Zhuo communicated with the Medical Hall Master Token and could immediately sense the Medical Hall of the Lava Immortal Palace.

At the same time, he could vaguely sense the general situation of his subordinates.

When he sensed Ning Xiaohui, he sensed the huge block of ice in front of Ning Xiaohui.

The next moment, Ning Xiaohui stretched out her slender jade fingers and gently tapped the surface of the ice block.

The ice block shattered suddenly, and the Golden Blood Battle Ape was brand new, restored to its original state from head to toe!

Ning Zhuo couldn't help but praise sincerely: "Ice-Fat Jade Hands... what an amazing innate talent."

"This time, Ning Xiaohui has been a huge help."

Innate talent! Known as the soil for divine abilities, while divine abilities are the deep application of the principles of heaven and earth.

Therefore, innate talent is unreasonable.

At the same time, innate talent is also the most reasonable.

Compared to Ning Zhuo, Ning Xiaohui understood the structure of the Golden Blood Battle Ape even less. But relying on her own innate talent, she was able to heal and repair it!

Ning Zhuo was now also gradually learning a lot of information about the Ice-Fat Jade Hands through various channels.

"The essence of the Ice-Fat Jade Hands is to find life in death! Giving birth to a glimmer of vitality in a desperate situation is the embodiment of 'Heaven never cuts off all paths'."

"Mechanism creations are originally dead objects, unexpectedly fitting the innate talent of the Ice-Fat Jade Hands, so the healing effect is far better than healing a living body."

"But when will a talent like Ning Xiaohui be willing to be used by me?"

Ning Zhuo felt the huge convenience.

Having a capable subordinate is really too good!

He was now separated by the layer of the Lava Immortal Palace, hiding it from Ning Xiaohui, indirectly making her work for him.

Once Ning Xiaohui knew the truth, she would definitely turn against him.

Ning Zhuo sighed in his heart.

He knew: his own power had risen sharply, but there was still one thing he couldn't do—make cultivators with innate talents willingly work for him!

Most people now valued him because he had innate talent and a certain bright future, so they flocked to him.

Ning Zhuo's subordinates did not have innate talents. His current small force could not retain such talents.

The temple was too small to hold a big Buddha!

Talented cultivators could obtain widespread favor and recruitment, receiving more funding and support in families, sects, and kingdoms, and it was impossible for them to remain under Ning Zhuo's command.

Ning Zhuo's current force was too small, and there was no space for these talents to exert themselves.

"Unless I obtain the Lava Immortal Palace and become the Master of the Immortal Palace!"

Ning Zhuo looked forward to the future with anticipation, completely unaware that Zhu Xuanji had already transformed into a rainbow and was flying towards him at high speed.

Zhu Xuanji's actions did not have much concealment, and for a time, they aroused the attention of countless cultivators in the city.

The only one who truly knew the whole thing was the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was extremely excited.

It lay on the main hall seat, its eyes glowing, excitedly enjoying the good show to come.

In the underground cultivation secret chamber.

The floating clouds around Ning Zhuo suddenly began to consume violently.

Ning Zhuo was immediately alert, put away the floating clouds, supported his defensive means, and shouted: "Who is it?!"

*Boom.

The next moment, Zhu Xuanji flew directly above Ning Zhuo's house.

He stretched out his palm, aimed his palm at the bottom, and grabbed and pulled gently.

An invisible giant force grabbed the roof and then flipped it away.

Zhu Xuanji grabbed and pulled again, flipping open the floor.

Ning Zhuo, who was in the underground secret chamber, was thus exposed.

"Lord Zhu Xuanji!" Ning Zhuo looked up, saw Zhu Xuanji, and couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly saluting.

Zhu Xuanji descended from the sky and slowly flew down in front of Ning Zhuo.

His brows were full of murderous intent, and his square face showed majesty at this moment.

In the center of his pitch-black pupils, dots of golden light were emitted, clearly having activated the Heavenly Beauty Golden Eyes.

Zhu Xuanji was dressed in a bright red brocade robe with black embroidery on the edges, and the three big characters "Divine Catcher Division" on his waist plaque were eye-catching, bringing great psychological pressure to others.
