106. Chapter 106 – The Foundation of the Great Dao

Chapter 106 – The Foundation of the Great Dao
At this moment, Zhou Xuan’s consciousness returned to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s Sovereign Peak, and he brought back the Foundation of the Great Dao.

The Foundation of the Great Dao was a purple smoke that was always in a dense state.

It appeared to be in a perpetually smoky state, as if it was vaporized, but when touched, it had a solid touch.

Then how to refine it?
Very simple.

Between one breath and one inhalation, the entire foundation of the Great Dao was inhaled into his body.

As soon as it entered, Zhou Xuan felt a strange movement within his body.

The surrounding aura began to surge towards his body like crazy. At this moment, it was exactly when Shi Jioyang returned to the Sect with the acquired Extreme Lifespring Pill.

As soon as he returned, he felt the strange movements of the aura around Zhou Xuan’s cave, and without much thought, he knew that Zhou Xuan was about to make a breakthrough.

“About to break through from the mid Foundation Establishment stage to the late stage?”

This thought rose in his mind, and after feeling it slightly, he could not help but be surprised, “No, this is going from the late stage into the consummate stage.”

He did not expect the final Foundation Establishment Completion for Zhou Xuan to be able to refine so quickly, it seemed that the Extreme Lifespring Pill that he had brought back was not going to be used.

“Good, worthy of being a Yellow Rank Qualified Heaven’s Path Foundation Builder!”

Although the estimation was wrong, and in just six or seven months’ time, Zhou Xuan had gone from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to Foundation Establishment Completion, this was a surprise in itself, and represented the fact that Zhou Xuan himself had the backing to participate in the Heavenly Dao Election.

With elation, Shi Jioyang did not go back either, but instead came above Zhou Xuan’s cave, without alerting anyone, to guard his magic.

As for Zhou Xuan at this moment, after inhaling the Foundation of the Great Dao into his body, it was as if the great lake in the Fate Spring had encountered a storm, and a raging sea wave was making waves within the Fate Spring.

Soon, the aura around the cave was sucked up, but it was replenished in the blink of an eye, and the moment it was replenished, it was sucked up again.

Under such a cycle, the large lake in that Fatal Spring was soon torn apart, and the liquefied spiritual qi underneath the bottom of the lake seemed like a fountain, surging and surging.

With every second, Zhou Xuan’s Fatal Spring was expanding.

After an unknown amount of time, under his internal vision, that large lake had long since disappeared, presenting him with an infinite sea in his eyes.

The Life Spring was like a sea.

This was an intrinsic characteristic of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Perfection, and after the Vital Spring was like the sea, there was basically no need to worry about the consumption of aura in the body, because it simply could not be consumed.

When Zhou Xuan had completely stepped into Foundation Establishment Perfection, the foundation of the Heavenly Dao that had been sucked into his body made a move.

It came to the Vital Spring, expanded and grew, and soon enveloped the sky of the great sea, presenting a purple sky.

“Hm? This is…”

As the Great Dao Foundation completely shrouded the sky, Zhou Xuan suddenly felt the Fate Spring within him begin to expand once more.

This time, it was not as fast as the expansion from the late stage into consummation just now, and it was a slow expansion.

However, Zhou Xuan realized clearly.

As long as he lived, the expansion of this Life Spring would never stop.

This was very useful to NPCs, but what use was it to him, a speedpass player?
He wouldn’t think that he would still stay in this world after playing to the grand finale, he would have long since played the next game to go.

The moment this thought rose, from the bottom of the sea suddenly rose a mountain peak, the purple sky fell a wisp of smoke, surrounded these peaks, looking ethereal like a fairyland.

Directly feeling it, Zhou Xuan was pleasantly surprised, “This thing is good!”

There were countless mountain peaks in the great sea, and each one of them, was drawing in the aura from the Life Spring, and then converting it into Yuan Qi.

Not bad, Yuan Qi.

This thing was something that could only be grasped at the Yuan Spirit realm.

The Violet Mansion Realm captured the essence of heaven and earth, and in doing so, stepped into the Life and Death Realm, and the reason why the strength of the Life and Death Realm would fluctuate up and down was because of this realm, which was in the process of molding one’s soul.

Life and death realm all the time in the compression of their own soul, a bad is the end of the fall, so this is a fine work, sometimes did not deal with it, the soul is weak, the strength of the natural decline.

And after the condensation reaches a limit, it becomes a Yuan Soul Embryo.

At this point, it is the Divine Palace Realm.

The Divine Palace Realm is to introduce one’s Yuan Soul Embryo into the Divine Palace, and then within the Divine Palace, the Yuan Soul Embryo is hatched into a human being and transformed into a Yuan Soul.

Once the Yuan Soul is completed, it is the Yuan Spirit Realm.

The aura in the body will begin to transform into Yuan Qi, 10% is the early Yuan Spirit stage, 30% is the mid Yuan Spirit stage, 60% is the late Yuan Spirit stage, and 100% is the Yuan Spirit Perfection.

After the Yuan Spirit is the Spirit of Transformation, after entering the Spirit of Transformation realm, the aura inhaled into the body will be transformed into Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi very quickly.

As for how powerful Yuan Qi is?
As for an example, the fireballs that are rolled out using the heaven and earth’s aura below the Yuan Ling realm, although there are differences in each realm, the higher the realm, the greater the power, but they are all within the acceptable range.

If a fireball rubbed out by the Divine Palace realm was a missile, then a fireball rubbed out by the Yuan Ling realm using heaven and earth’s Yuan Qi would be a nuclear bomb thrown out of hand.

This is the gap.

Of course, because the Yuan Spirit Realm was still in the state of transforming Yuan Qi, unless it was a life and death battle, one would not use Yuan Qi to fight, it was too extravagant.

Whereas now, as Zhou Xuan, who was at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, but because of the Foundation of the Great Dao, the Spiritual Qi within his body, had already begun to transform towards Yuan Qi.

Zhou Xuan laughed, “With the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, this Great Election of Heaven and Earth won’t give me another whole mess, right?”

Although he was happy, Zhou Xuan was still uncertain in his heart, after all, under the Hell Difficulty, hell knows how strong the Saint Body and God Body are.

Coupled with the fact that the human race within the Huan Yu did not have a physique to say, it gives this holy body, god body once again put a layer of mystery veil.

Don’t look at him crunching and killing within the Great Dao Mysteries, it was because of the divine ability plus Heavenly Thunder, coupled with a rewarding talent that allowed him to settle those Heavenly Dao Builders in the Resting Square ahead of time, resulting in him not encountering a heaven-defying divine ability.

But even so, Ning Jinglong’s divine aptitude was actually already at the heaven-defying level, and the fact that he was able to break the formation was mainly due to complete restraint.

Previously, he had also almost been poisoned to death by a Heaven’s Path Building Foundation that had been transferred into a poison circle, so the Saint Body and God Body still made him look forward to it and be cautious.

The Great Dao Foundations are now collectively just a few effects, it is estimated that there are still undiscovered ones, Zhou Xuan is not in a hurry, when the realm is high, some things will naturally be understood.

Firstly, the Vital Spring in his body was expanding all the time, although slowly, but over time, it was bound to be amazing.

Secondly, amongst the life springs that were like a sea, mountains of Yuan Qi stood.

Zhou Xuan counted them, and there were a total of nine hundred and ninety-one of them, and each of the Yuan Qi peaks was drawing in aura and transforming Yuan Qi.

After observing the time and calculating the speed, one Yuan Qi Peak could condense one strand of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi per day, which was eighty-one strands per day.

It might seem sparse, but Zhou Xuan knew that one strand of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi could increase the strength of a technique by at least twenty times or more, coupled with the fact that his Great Self-Realization Weather Earth Calamity Technique itself also had an increase in the technique, the two added up, at the Foundation Establishment Stage his Lightning Technique would probably be able to increase by about fifty times or so.

What concept?
Right now, if he sent down a single heavenly thunderbolt, he should be able to split someone in the pre-middle stage of Dragon Transformation, not an ordinary Dragon Transformation, but the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment’s Dragon Transformation Realm.

This increase was not fixed, the higher his realm, the higher the increase.

Finally being able to kill someone across a large realm, this point was worth being happy about.

Thirdly, the Foundation of the Great Dao also drastically increased enlightenment.

The thing called enlightenment didn’t have much of a role in the early stages, but when it came to the Questioning Realm, the thing’s role manifested itself.

At the Questioning Realm, the requirements for one’s enlightenment were very high.

Unless there was some heaven-defying chance, stupid people were basically stuck in the Questioning Realm. Smart people, with a few epiphanies, would soon be able to merge with the Dao.

And all of these were just secondary effects of the Foundation of the Great Dao.

Its primary function was to allow you to break through the boundaries and directly transcend after you had cultivated to the Tai Chou Realm.

Yes, this was the most important effect of the Foundation of the Great Dao. What life springs like the sea continue to expand, what condenses heaven and earth’s vital energy, and what enlightenment is heaven-defying are all bullshit in front of this effect.

“It seems that after the public beta, one must get the Foundation of the Great Dao at the Foundation Establishment Realm to be able to do so, not only does it increase battle power, but the increase in enlightenment is also important.”

Without the reminder of the Great Dao within the Great Dao Mirror, he knew that there must be only one of this Great Dao Foundation, and after that, even if it was perfectly evaluated, there would definitely be no more.

The Great Dao had just made it very clear that this was not the only hidden reward of the Great Dao Mystic Realm of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but the only hidden reward of the entire Great Dao Mystic Realm.

Do you understand what it means to be the only hidden reward of the entire stage?
As for improving qualifications, this really doesn’t.

Qualification was something that was determined by the heavens, and Zhou Xuan didn’t even think about being able to improve it.

Uh…

The main reason was that during the second beta, the game producers were hesitant to add a way to raise qualifications within the game.

In this regard, the game producer was hesitant to do so, and after Zhou Xuan’s few Speedpass players found out about it, they hurriedly approached the game producer.

Under their bitter words and repeated persuasion, they directly made the game producer dispel this idea.

What a joke.

Playing is the lowest qualification, speed pass game, you fucking add a way to raise the qualification, what kind of hell difficulty is this?
Why is the immortal fantasy virtual game on the market, the hell difficulty of the speed pass character model is the most popular?
Because you choose the simple or normal difficulty, you cultivate even if the speed is faster, NPCs give the feedback is very flat.

Oh, fast cultivation speed ah, that is not a matter of course? You are a genius, you do not cultivate fast, is not a waste of talent? You crush your opponents, that’s normal, if you can’t crush them, we’re going to start laughing at you Oh.

And if it’s the most trashy qualification, cultivating at a fantastically fast speed and casually abusing geniuses, then the feedback the NPCs give is much cooler.

What? You’re a trashiest qualification and your cultivation speed is equal to that of a genius? What, you trash actually crushed the absolute heavenly pride? Shocked, shocked, shaken, adored…

Anyway, all kinds of shocks are over.

That kind of positive emotional feedback, as if the desert dying of thirst results in finding an oasis, sweaty eating ice cream in the summer, simply refreshing.

This was the reason why Zhou Xuan chose Hell difficulty every time he played the game.

It was also the main factor in realistically making money, and if he could raise his qualifications, there would be even more competing UP masters.

Zhou Xuan’s spiritual light once again entered the Great Dao Mirror.

He did not forget that he had made the Great Dao announce throughout the entire Huanwu that he was the first cultivator to receive a flawless evaluation.

If he didn’t go in now to manifest himself in front of people, wouldn’t he be missing out on the high moments of his life?
As soon as he entered, before Zhou Xuan could even open his Retained Shadow Room, he heard a startled cry from the side, “Zhou Xuan?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan turned his head to see that it was a middle-aged man in appearance, while his realm was impenetrable.

The middle-aged man’s cry of alarm had obviously caught the attention of the person next to him.

One by one, their gazes stared at Zhou Xuan.

Someone gloated and spoke, “Zhou Xuan, you’re dead!”

“Oh?” Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan did not open the shadow retention room either and said with interest, “How so?”

“You’re too rampant, flawless evaluation, indeed unprecedented, but you’re only a Foundation Establishment, dare to expose yourself like this, don’t you know the truth that the wind will destroy the wood when it shows itself in the forest?”

“Not bad, this is the price under your rampancy.”

“The Divine Court’s Divine Lord has sent a large number of people to look for you in the current world, if I were you, I would just kneel down and beg for forgiveness, and you dare to enter the Great Dao Mirror, you’re really looking for death.”

When the people beside them heard this, seeing Zhou Xuan’s face full of doubt, each of them could not help but gloat, their words falling on deaf ears.

Everyone was envious and jealous of Zhou Xuan being able to obtain a flawless evaluation.

However, when Zhou Xuan chose to announce it in public, it made them feel that the other party was truly sick in the head.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan could not help but be dazed as he utilized the Great Dao Mirror to understand the situation.

Because he was the first cultivator since the Great Dao Mirror to receive a flawless evaluation, even if it was only Foundation Establishment, he had startled the top powers within the Hierarchy.

In particular, the Divine Court’s Divine Lord was heard to be a very conceited and arrogant person who owed it to himself to even communicate with him, and directly tried to find him in the present world.

Learning of this, Zhou Xuan laughed out loud, ”Divine Court’s Divine Lord? What kind of trashy thing, did his mother give birth to him with stupidity?”

Having cultivated to the Tai Chou realm, how could he still be so retarded?
As a result, Zhou Xuan learned a little more about this Divine Court and could not help but be dazed.

This Divine Court’s current Divine Lord is named Dongfang Quan, and each Divine Lord of the Divine Court can only serve for a maximum of ten Yuan Councils, that is, more than a million years.

This Divine Court was not a first-born son succession system, but rather an election system.

After each Divine Lord had served as a Ten Yuan Council, he would personally select three successors, and then run for election along with the six selected by the internal forces.

Although this Dongfang Quan is proud and conceited, he is the strongest among the nine candidates, and his methods are tough, decisive and ruthless, which is suitable for the position of God Lord.

As one of the oldest and most powerful forces in the universe, each Divine Lord had his own personality and quirks, but that didn’t stop them from standing in the universe.

Zhou Xuan felt reasonable in an instant.

Under this kind of internal power tipping, it was actually not surprising what kind of personality God Lords were elected.

This was because the cake within the Huan Yu had already been pretty much divided, the resources of half of the universe had already been distributed, and this represented the solidification of classes.

Unless there was an internal split, it was impossible for the bottom cultivators to overpower the top.

Then with the Divine Lord sitting on top of that position, as long as he did his own thing, this Divine Court would naturally be solid as gold.

The cultivators of the Great Dao Mirror were completely stunned by Zhou Xuan’s arrogant and cocky words.

Such vulgar words, if they were to reach that Divine Lord, would this Zhou Xuan still have a chance to live?

“Just in time, Laozi is at the Great Dao Mirror today, doesn’t he, Dongfang Quan, want to find me? Let him hurry over.”

At this moment, Zhou Xuan called the Divine Court Divine Lord by his first name, and this honorific was owed to him.

“You’re looking for me? I’m coming.”

Steeply, a calm and composed voice came from not far away, carrying the dominance of one who had been giving orders for years.

Zhou Xuan turned to look, and saw a young-faced man with a crown on his head, with twelve dangling tassels underneath the crown, made of beads and jade.

Through the beads of jade, a pair of narrow eyes loomed, and just by looking at them, Zhou Xuan felt as if the Ruohai Life Spring within his body had stopped flowing.

This person was wearing a purple robe with the sun, moon and stars on it, and looked to be in his early thirties.

“Dongfang Quan?”

Seeing Zhou Xuan call him by his name, Dongfang Quan’s face was expressionless as he took a step across and grabbed Zhou Xuan, and under careful feeling, he realized that the other party indeed had a life spring like the sea, and he did not detect any abnormality.

Obviously, the Foundation of the Great Dao also had the effect of masking concealment.

“Zhou Xuan, hand over the reward that the Great Dao has for you under Perfect Evaluation, and I can give you a pain in the ass.”

When Zhou Xuan insulted him with his words, Dongfang Quan had already decided the fate of the other party.

The surrounding cultivators all disappeared without a trace the moment Divine Lord Dongfang Quan appeared. At this moment, only two people were present.

Zhou Xuan was grabbed by Dongfang Quan as if he was a small chicken in his hand, and the flow of aura in his body stopped, as if he had turned back into a mortal.

However, he snorted, “What are you dreaming about?”
