Chapter 605: Foundation Establishment Opportunity

Cultivating on the lake, one loses track of the years.

Regardless of the flowers blooming and falling in the Immortal Cultivation World, Aaron simply kept cultivating bitterly on Spirit Medicine Island, occasionally going out to the human world to live freely...

On this day.

Aaron let the 'Longevity Turtle' go guard the Spirit Medicine Garden; it also liked the spring eye over there very much.

As for himself, he closed the Cave Abode and began to cultivate.

"After decades of cultivation, I have finally cultivated the 'Mingyu Art' to the peak of the ninth layer. Today, I will definitely be able to break through to the tenth layer and return to the realm of Qi Refining Great Perfection!"

An inexplicable palpitation surfaced in his heart.

Compared to the 'Longevity Turtle' that had hardly grown at all, those few stalks of Nine-Eyed Begonia were growing quite pleasingly; the vein patterns of the second eye had already emerged halfway.

A moment later, Aaron came out of seclusion, washed up, and lay on the bed, lost in thought.

Aaron thought for a moment and sighed to himself.

Placed outside, this was an opportunity that would make countless Loose Cultivators go mad with jealousy, yet it was discarded by Aaron like worn-out shoes.

'This is an opportunity that only a true genius of immortal cultivation would encounter!'

After so many years had passed, Aaron deeply felt a rather ominous emotional trend.

This method is useless for those with Heavenly Spirit Root; they can break through even without taking a Foundation Establishment Pill.

'Therefore, self-regulation is very important... I cannot have only the hobby of teasing a turtle; I must go out more, interact more, and let my mindset become young again!'

"Hmm... this seclusion can be considered successful; at least I have returned to my previous realm."

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Aaron's mouth, and then he shouted: "Get... out!"

It is said that the one who founded the 'Heavenly Snake Gang' back then was a female Martial Master, and her surname was Bai...

At this time, the one controlling this place was a massive gang in Taize Prefecture City, named the 'Heavenly Snake Gang'!

This 'Heavenly Snake Gang' could also be considered an old-established gang of Taize Prefecture, having squeezed the 'Tianxiong Gang', which had declined due to the ravages of war, off the throne of the hegemon.

"So I am 300 years old this year? I started re-cultivating at around 250... so thinking about it, this time of re-cultivating only took me 50 years?"

As for the remaining Dual Spirit Root and Three Spirit Roots... they might not have this courage!

As for those with Four Spirit Root or below... they might not even cultivate their Foundation Cultivation Method to completion in their entire lives! Let alone dispersing their cultivation to start over!

"Natural breakthrough, Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?"

'Just right... my bitter cultivation can no longer progress, so I must go to the market to seek vast wealth, and then begin to plan for the Foundation Establishment Pill.'

The 'Mingyu Art' began to stir, actually showing signs of actively initiating an impact on the eleventh layer of the technique!

'Is this... self-initiated Foundation Establishment?'

"Other than this, everything else is vanity!"

【Technique: Mingyu Art Tenth Layer】

In the sand dune beside the spring eye, a palm-sized turtle was playing contentedly.

This time, there was not the slightest bottleneck. When the last trace of Dharma Power was accumulated, everything was like water flowing to form a channel; Aaron successfully broke through and entered the realm of Qi Refining Great Perfection!

Not only that, at the moment of the breakthrough, a feeling of a sudden whim suddenly appeared in Aaron's heart.

'Hmm... other Immortal Cultivators don't have this problem of mine, because they have the greatest pursuit—breaking through realms, extending their lifespan, and then achieving immortality!'

【Spells: Spirit Eye Technique (100/100), Wind Control Technique (100/100), Golden Light Shield (100/100), Fireball Technique (100/100), Rejuvenation Technique (100/100), Spring Breeze Turns to Rain Technique (100/100), Fire Feather Arrow (100/100), Diamond Shield (100/100), Entanglement Technique (100/100), Soul Bewitching Technique (100/100)】

'Right now, I don't have the Spirituality of 'Yao' to perform a mental Purification surgery on myself...'

After all, if one disperses their cultivation to start over, perhaps they will reach the end of their lifespan before they finish cultivating the second time.

"Besides this, I also obtained some interesting information..."

Today was the seventieth birthday of the Bai Family's Old Matriarch. The whole world celebrated, and the Bai Family directly opened a flowing banquet, allowing people from all walks of life to come and eat and drink.

He actually managed to stop this 'impulse' alive, forcibly suppressing his Dharma Power to prevent it from breaking through, causing the feeling of the sudden whim to gradually dissipate.

Seeing Aaron, it immediately paddled its four limbs rapidly, crawled to his feet, and affectionately rubbed against his trouser leg.

'If one Foundation Establishment Pill doesn't work, then two; if two don't work, then three... take it slow, I will succeed eventually...'

'There is a legend in the Immortal Cultivation World that when a true genius of immortal cultivation has reached the point where their Foundation Cultivation Method can no longer progress, an opportunity for a self-initiated Foundation Establishment breakthrough will emerge! This is 'Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment'. As long as one follows this thread of spiritual opportunity, the breakthrough will be as natural as water flowing to form a channel, and the success rate is as high as a full fifty percent! It is comparable to taking a Foundation Establishment Pill! Even after the breakthrough, the Dharma Power is more refined and mellow, far better than that from swallowing a Foundation Establishment Pill!'

Aaron sat cross-legged, circulated his Dharma formula, and began to impact the Great Perfection realm!

"It's a method, but it seems to be of no use at all."

Those with Different Spirit Root only need to take one Foundation Establishment Pill, and the success rate is close to ninety percent, so they don't need it either.

"However, specifically for other Immortal Cultivators, if they cultivate to Qi Refining Great Perfection and then disperse their cultivation to start over... perhaps it could increase the probability of obtaining an epiphany breakthrough?"

'As a long-lived species, with infinite life and all kinds of desires easily satisfied, one's own emotions might fade, and then the spirit might become indifferent, numb... eventually world-weary?'

【Talent: Immortality】

【Age: 300】

After planning the next steps, Aaron first rested well for a few days, then came to the Spirit Medicine Garden.

Sanshui Wharf.

【Martial Arts: Iron Shirt Fist Third Layer (1000/1000)】

【Realm: Qi Refining Tenth Layer】

"Don't talk about fifty percent; even if it were over fifty percent, or even ninety-nine percent, as long as there is a sliver of possibility of failure, I will not gamble! Because if I don't gamble, I will never lose!"

"I am going to take a Foundation Establishment Pill to break through! Because there is no example of death after a failed Foundation Establishment from swallowing a Foundation Establishment Pill... for me, this is the most important thing. As long as I don't die, I have countless chances to try again!"

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's good, but a fifty percent success rate means there is still a full fifty percent failure rate! If the breakthrough fails and there is no Foundation Establishment Pill to protect the Meridians, that is death! I would have to be a fool to gamble on these odds!"

"I can have the opportunity for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, probably because the 'Mingyu Art' technique is profound? Besides that, it is the result of dispersing my cultivation to start over, making my power more refined and profound than before, and additionally, having lived for so many years, my spirit is strong... the result of all these factors combined?"

Baifu.

Aaron tucked Xiaoqing into his chest, then steered his Magic Tool and flew toward Taize Prefecture City.

【Skills: Fishing (100/100), Lure Demon Manual (11/100), Disguise Technique (100/100), Medicine (100/100), Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting (100/100), Huiyuan Wine Recipe (68/100), First Tier Jade Bone (100/100), First Tier Talisman Making (12/100)】

"There is no rush to harvest these; I shall wait a while longer..."

"Just like the Lure Demon Manual, this is also a dragon-slaying art..."

Aaron glanced at his Attribute Panel:

【Name: Fang Yu (Aaron)】

Aaron scooped Xiaoqing up and complained with some disdain: "It's been decades, yet you seem to have never grown at all, still only the size of a palm. Could it be dwarfism?"

Bai Laotaijun was already decrepit with age, but her spirit seemed quite good.

At this moment, she gazed at a retreating figure in the banquet, her expression somewhat dazed, unable to even respond to the congratulations from the grandsons and granddaughters-in-law beside her...
