Chapter 165: Foundation Establishment

When the Great Elder and the others arrived at the Taihe Market again, Su Fan had already taken the Po Yuan Pill and broken through to the ninth layer of Qi Refining.

Once the cultivation reaches the ninth layer of Qi Refining, one can start preparing for the Foundation Establishment breakthrough.

Just to ensure the greatest possibility of a breakthrough, Su Fan did not choose to break through to Foundation Establishment immediately.

After all, the Foundation Establishment stage is not so easy to break through. He had just taken the Po Yuan Pill to break through to the ninth layer of Qi Refining, and his foundation was still a bit unstable. This was not a good time to break through.

At the very least, he had to wait until he settled down and built a more solid foundation.

Having practiced martial arts for two lifetimes, he knew clearly how important the foundation was. All things remain the same at the core, and immortal cultivation is the same.

The Great Elder only saw him once when he came to the market. Seeing him break through to the ninth layer of Qi Refining, he praised him and didn't say anything else, nor did he mention the cave dwelling.

Su Fan knew this was to be careful about information leaking.

And even if he mentioned it, what could be done? With his current strength, he simply couldn't participate in it.

Even the fourth-level Foundation Establishment Great Elder was injured by the restriction on the periphery of the array, let alone him. His combat power at the peak of Datang might not be inferior to the Great Elder's,

but his comprehensive ability was certainly not as good as the Great Elder's.

After the Great Elder left, Su Fan returned to his original life. Every day, besides practicing, he refined pills and made talismans, or deduced immortal cultivation and martial arts methods in the evolution space of the Universe Realm.

Of course, at the same time, Su Fan was also trying to simulate a Foundation Establishment breakthrough in this evolution space.

It was precisely because the evolution space had such a function that Su Fan had greater confidence to break through to Foundation Establishment without the help of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Just like that, Su Fan lived his life as he had for years. In the blink of an eye, eight months passed. At this moment, his originally unstable mana had also become thick and solid.

His realm had completely stabilized.

So next, he told Lin Wei that he was going into seclusion and then closed his cave dwelling.

"Eh! What is this?"

"Someone is establishing their foundation here."

On Cloud Terrace Peak, halfway up a mountain, a figure swept through the air. Just then, this figure suddenly stopped.

Looking at a cave dwelling below, a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

"Master hasn't refined any Foundation Establishment Pills recently, and the three Foundation Establishment Pills from last time seem to have all been taken out of Taihe Mountain. Could it be that someone is charging into the Foundation Establishment stage on their own?"

"Interesting!"

"If they really succeed in establishing their foundation..."

This figure flying in mid-air muttered to himself.

"Is it a loose cultivator, or someone else? If it's a loose cultivator, I can introduce them to Master. A cultivator who charges into Foundation Establishment on their own has good talent."

The figure in mid-air soon disappeared. If people in the market had discovered this, they would certainly have exclaimed in shock.

On this main peak of Cloud Terrace Peak, cave dwellings were built for people to go into seclusion, and array restrictions were set up on them. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators could not fly here.

Only cultivators above Foundation Establishment could fly with swords.

Yet now someone was flying in the air. This person, needless to say, must be a Purple Mansion expert.

Unfortunately, at this moment, no one on Cloud Terrace Peak saw this figure.

In a cave dwelling halfway up the south peak of Cloud Terrace Peak, Su Fan pushed open the door of his seclusion cave, a strange radiance appearing on his face.

"Haha! I broke through!"

Feeling the True Essence in his body, Su Fan laughed.

He had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, becoming a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Immediately cleaning the filth from his body, Su Fan sat at the stone table, brewed a pot of spirit tea, and began to savor it slowly. At the same time, he began to recall his previous seclusion, and a look of lingering fear appeared on his face.

Although he had various trump cards, he still almost died.

Recalling his charge into Foundation Establishment:

The key points of Foundation Establishment are mana, divine sense, and the physical body. These three points are indispensable.

The first point is the transformation of mana. If you want to break through to Foundation Establishment, you must transform the mana in your dantian into liquid True Essence.

This step is extremely important, but for Su Fan, this step was not difficult.

For mana transformation, Su Fan had previously used the evolution space to constantly try and deduce, combined with some concepts from his previous life, to compress his mana. So, for the first step, he passed through it without danger.

Dantian expansion, mana transformation.

In terms of the physical body, it actually lies more in the meridians and dantian.

Because in the process of mana transformation, the mana in the body must be transformed. There are different methods, but no matter which one, the mana must travel through the meridians and dantian of the whole body.

At this time, it is much stronger than the mana explosion during daily cultivation and fighting.

If the meridians and dantian are not tough enough, they might be burst by this violent mana.

At this time, it not only requires meridians and mana, but also has extremely strict requirements for divine sense. If there is no powerful divine sense to compress and control the mana, and the mana riots, the final result goes without saying.

Therefore, cultivators who don't have a solid foundation in their daily lives and are unstable in their control of their own mana almost have no possibility of breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Fortunately, although Su Fan took pills in his daily cultivation, he still attached great importance to his foundation, and as for his control of mana, that goes without saying.

So when breaking through, his divine sense firmly controlled the mana, not letting it run wild. Plus, his physical body, meridians, and dantian were all wider and tougher than those of ordinary cultivators.

In this aspect, Su Fan was not stumped either.

Although in this process, some of Su Fan's meridians were damaged, fortunately, it was not dangerous.

What truly plunged Su Fan into crisis was actually the heart demon barrier. During Foundation Establishment, in the divine sense stage, there is a test, which is the test of the mind.

Commonly known as the heart demon barrier.

Falling into the heart demon illusion, mana riots, and ultimately one dies from an exploding body.

Many Qi Refining cultivators have fallen at this barrier.

Su Fan at that time also almost fell into the illusion. Although he had practiced for several lifetimes and his state of mind should be considered quite good, and his soul was stronger than that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators,

his thinking was still influenced by the Earth of his previous life. Therefore, the heart demon barrier directly brought out the illusion of Earth.

It made him almost fall into it. If it weren't for the Universe Realm erupting with a spiritual might deep in his sea of consciousness at the critical moment, making him suddenly wake up, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the heart demon illusion and ultimately died from an exploding body.

"It really was dangerous."

Su Fan thought about it, and his heart felt a chill. He had prepared a lot for Foundation Establishment, yet he still almost died.

It's no wonder the success rate of breaking through from the ninth layer of Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment is so low.

But thinking about it, once you establish your foundation, the whole person is almost transformed. No matter how you look at the Qi Refining stage, they are still mortals, even though they are far stronger than mortals.

But in essence, they are not much different from mortals.

Once you establish your foundation, it's different. The physical body and soul are transformed again, truly shedding the mortal body.

"However, this Foundation Establishment also almost consumed the accumulations of the previous life."

Feeling that the soul seed had shrunk by nearly eighty percent, Su Fan sighed.

All of this was naturally worth it. With the Foundation Establishment success, Su Fan's chance of survival in the upcoming monster beast riot would greatly increase.

And after this transformation of Foundation Establishment, his physical body was also strengthened by a few points again. Although he was only a first-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, his actual combat power was no worse than that of a third-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With him, the Su Family now had four Foundation Establishment cultivators. Placed in Yu County, that was also an existence that could look at the top spot.

Strength greatly increased!

"I wonder if that cave dwelling has been taken down?" ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
