Boom! Boom! Boom!
Inside the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji was undergoing a life-and-death ordeal.
After True Qi transford into True Essence, the True Essence beca even more condensed and the destructive power more formidable, continuously tearing apart the Dantian and ridians, with the Dantian shattering and the ridians breaking.
Intense pain surged through, the body tearing apart continuously, the Dantian pierced as if by a sword, the heart ached, the body ached.
The whole body suffered as if undergoing torture.
In the midst of pain, Lu Xuanji operated his cultivation technique, absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the outside, converting it into True Essence, repairing the Dantian, and repairing the ridians.
At the sa mont, the Dantian shattered once again, the ridians broke again.
Thus, while the physical body was continuously being shattered, it was also continually being repaired, endlessly cycling.
In this intense pain, a voice seed to say that it was all a dream.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Why does life have so much suffering? It’s because we refuse to let it go.
Learn to let go, life will be much happier.
Lu Xuanji gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, took a deep breath, and continued to operate his cultivation technique. The violent True Essence impacted the ridians, the intense pain kept assaulting him, as if every muscle was tearing, like undergoing the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty.
Bam.
At that mont, Lu Xuanji was forced by the pain to faint.
When one is subjected to intense pain, they may fall into unconsciousness, a self-protective state for humans.
In that mont of unconsciousness, even without Lu Xuanji’s control, the cultivation technique operated automatically, constantly absorbing the outside Spiritual Qi; the dicinal power of the thousand-year Netherworld Grass was digesting, continuously integrating into the body, nourishing the body, repairing the physical body, the Dantian, and the ridians.
In constant tearing and repairing, the Dantian expanded in size, the ridians broadened.
Ti passed, and after an unknown period, Lu Xuanji regained consciousness, subconsciously opened his eyes.
But upon opening his eyes, he felt his entire body aching, weak as if paralyzed.
At this mont, the external Spiritual Qi continuously nourished the body, healing the injuries.
"I failed to establish my Foundation, overcoming only the first of the Three Calamities; I fell at the second. I thought I was Long Aotian, but who knew I was just an arrogant fool," Lu Xuanji smiled bitterly.
Before attempting Foundation Establishnt, Lu Xuanji had a mysterious confidence, but really going through it showed him he was rely human.
"I failed to establish my Foundation, only next ti..."
"Wait a minute, I didn’t take the Foundation Establishnt Pill, failing Foundation Establishnt should an certain death. But I failed... then why am I still alive."
"Could it be... did I succeed in establishing my Foundation?"
Lu Xuanji was also unsure if he succeeded or failed.
He then pulled the rope beside the bed.
The rope pulled, the bell rang.
A mont later, the stone door of the Cave Mansion opened, Ye Feixue’s eyes flashed with sorrow; the Grand Elder was also solemn, eyes full of worry.
But upon seeing Lu Xuanji’s state, they laughed heartily: "Congratulations, without the Foundation Establishnt Pill, yet you succeeded in Foundation Establishnt."
"No, it’s not right. I fainted from the pain when facing the Physical Body Tribulation... doesn’t this count as failure in Foundation Establishnt?"
Lu Xuanji said.
"No no, you succeeded."
The Grand Elder said, "Sotis fainting from the pain is a good thing. Haven’t you wondered why no cultivator shares their experience of Foundation Establishnt?"
Only then did Lu Xuanji notice sothing amiss.
He had read many books, covering various fields, but none described a cultivator’s Foundation Establishnt process.
At the ti he thought the books were incomplete, but now it seed that wasn’t the case at all.
There was a great secret.
The Grand Elder said, "Impacting the Foundation Establishnt Stage is too painful, no one wants to recall such pain. Moreover, sotis ignorance is bliss, at least there’s courage to challenge the unknown; but knowing too much might instill fear, reluctance to challenge difficulties."
"In the books, there is only ntion of the Foundation Establishnt Three Calamities, without specific descriptions. But here, I can tell you..."
Chased Ye Feixue away.
Better not to speak too much about it in front of girls, they might get scared.
Waited for Ye Feixue to leave.
The Grand Elder recounted so secrets, "The Three Calamities of Foundation Establishnt are the True Essence Calamity, the Physical Body Calamity, and the Divine Awareness Calamity. The first step in Foundation Establishnt is to compress the True Qi, compressing nine Vortexes into True Essence, this step is extrely difficult, countless cultivators fell here. Failing to compress ans True Qi explodes in the Dantian, the Dantian shatters, instant death."
"If you take the Foundation Establishnt Pill, it can soften the True Qi, reduce hostility, make the compression mont relatively easier, increasing success rate by a layer."
"The second calamity is the Physical Body Calamity. As you compress into True Essence, the ridians and Dantian cannot withstand the True Essence’s pressure, they directly burst; yet at the sa ti, the True Essence repairs the ridians, repairs the Dantian. In this process of destruction and reconstruction, if one cannot hold on, the Dantian and ridians will completely burst, instant death. But if you endure, the Dantian will expand, ridians will beco wider and tougher."
"If you take the Foundation Establishnt Pill, the dicinal power reduces so physical pain, also increasing success rate by a layer."
"The third calamity is the Divine Awareness Calamity. Evolving into True Essence, the Dantian expanded but is not yet a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. You need further transformation, slight transformation of the Divine Soul is necessary, without consciously operating the cultivation technique, it will operate automatically, endlessly, converting Spiritual Qi into True Essence."
"If you take the Foundation Establishnt Pill, the dicinal power enters the body, temporarily aligning it with Spiritual Qi, maintaining an endless state. If after the dicinal power dissipates, the cultivation technique still operates automatically, absorbing Spiritual Qi, you have stepped into the Foundation Establishnt Stage; if the dicinal power dissipates and the cultivation technique stops, Foundation Establishnt is considered a failure."
"The third step is also the hardest one."
"But I fell at the second step, during the Physical Body Calamity, fainted from the pain," Lu Xuanji admitted with sha.
"Not just you, out of a hundred cultivators, ninety-nine would faint from the pain," the Grand Elder sighed, "And one wouldn’t faint, but would die from the pain."
Lu Xuanji: "..."
The Grand Elder said, "You fainted from the pain, but during the fainting, your cultivation technique operated on its own, endlessly absorbing the external Spiritual Qi, converting it into True Essence. Therefore, you naturally passed the second calamity and the third calamity."
...
A mont later, the Grand Elder left.
Lu Xuanji was still in seclusion, comprehending the mysteries of the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Operating the "Cyan Lotus Creation Technique," streams of Spiritual Qi like whirlpools entered the body, entered the ridians, so Spiritual Qi was refined, deposited into the Dantian, transford into True Essence; while so True Qi was refined, nourishing the body, forming the foundation of eternal life.
The cultivation technique operated continuously, even if he paused, Spiritual Qi continued to converge into the body, continuously refined.
If he operated the cultivation technique, the cultivation speed was faster, the absorption speed of Spiritual Qi increased, ten tis faster than during the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Too fast, this is the terrifying aspect of the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
