Chapter 344 - 344 Build the Foundation

344 Build the Foundation

At the same time, Wu Ji patriarch felt his life slipping away!

This was hard for Wu Ji patriarch to accept, and he even panicked.

Even though they were on the verge of death, they still began to resist and resist with all their might.

It wanted to stabilize its cultivation.

This was the only way to ensure that its life would not be in danger no matter how serious its injuries were.

Wu Ji patriarch’s resistance was a fatal attack on Gu Mingzhou, who was already struggling to devour.

The blood that he had just sucked into his mouth was instantly spat out by Gu Mingzhou, mixed with his own dark red blood.

Even though Wu Ji patriarch was on his last breath, his resistance could still cause damage to Gu Mingzhou.

“If you can’t do it, just give up!” Zhao Qiankun’s expression turned even uglier as he finally advised in a deep voice.

He was prepared to forcefully interrupt the devouring process and save Gu Mingzhou!

Just as Zhao Qiankun was about to forcefully interrupt Gu Mingzhou’s devouring of the teal-eyed toad, a weak but determined voice suddenly sounded!

“Don’t interfere. I want to try!” It was Gu Mingzhou’s spiritual sense. It was extremely weak, and it even revealed a firm tone that could not be changed.

Gu Mingzhou wanted to try again!

Even though he felt like he was in a volcano, the heat from the inside out caused his blood vessels to burst, his veins were visible, and he even felt dizzy.

He didn’t know if this was because of the Heavenly Devouring Technique or because he had devoured cultivation beyond the realm of the Heavenly Devouring Technique allowed, but he still persevered and didn’t want to give up.

At the same time, the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique that was engraved in his mind was running wildly!

While he was frantically circulating the first level of the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique, he tried to forcefully circulate the second level of the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique!

This was because the strength of the first level was not enough for Gu Mingzhou to devour the powerful cultivation of Wu Ji patriarch.

He wanted to try his guess and jump directly from the first level to the second level!

The moment he reached the second cycle of the Heavenly Devouring Technique, a pure and vast amount of spiritual energy entered his dantian.

Boom!

The giant pillar that was emitting a bright green light suddenly shot out of Gu Mingzhou’s body and went straight into the clouds.

They floated in the sky and suddenly merged together, instantly forming a square altar!

The nine-sided square altar looked real, but it also seemed illusory.

It was incomparably huge, like the base of a mountain floating in the air, covering the sky and emitting a bright light.

The seven colors combined with black and white were dazzling and eye-catching, illuminating the world.

The wind rose, and the clouds retreated.

Auspicious signs fell from the sky, and the scorching sun lost its brilliance.

The light of the entire world and all living things in the world were blocked by the huge altar floating in the sky.

This was respect, but also a rejoicing.

When the nine green beams that burst out of his body suddenly merged in the sky, the heavens, the earth, and all living beings congratulated him in their hearts.

At this moment, the whole world was celebrating.

The thin and lowly life had successfully become the favored child of the heavenly Dao, condensing a Dao that belonged to itself and building a path that belonged to cultivation.

Auspicious signs descended from the sky to express their congratulations.

However, they were different. Some were strong, some were weak, some were vast, and some were not obvious.

However, they were all similar.

Every time this happened, the living beings in the world would become more and more confused about their attitude towards the heavenly Dao.

After all, everyone knew that the heavens were unkind and the heavenly Dao was merciless.

They didn’t understand why there were so many obstacles in their cultivation, and why they didn’t hesitate to send down lightning tribulations to punish the heavenly Dao of heaven and earth. Auspicious signs would suddenly descend when they cultivated to the great success stage.

In fact, many people thought that the heavenly Dao was expressing its goodwill to this cultivator who had a chance of escaping its control.

However, did the heavenly Dao really need to express goodwill to living beings?

Of course not!

The heavenly Dao had its own pride and dignity.

It didn’t need to show any goodwill to any living being.

Even if heaven and earth collapsed and the great Dao was destroyed, they would not lower their heads.

This was the heavenly Dao!

Zhao Qiankun’s gentle gaze was fixed on the sky when the nine pillars of green light shot out of Gu Mingzhou’s body. Or rather, he was staring at the nine pillars.

When the nine pillars combined into one and formed the foundation of Dao, auspicious signs descended from the sky and the whole world celebrated. His originally gentle gaze suddenly flickered and his expression became serious.

He knew what this phenomenon meant.

As long as a cultivator had built their Dao Foundation, it meant that they had passed the test of the heavenly Dao and had the qualification to enter the upper realm.

The more qualifications a world had, the greater the position that the heavenly Dao of that world would occupy in the upper realm.

When the cultivator left the world and ascended to the upper realm, the heavenly Dao would still remove the karma that belonged to the heavenly Dao from their bodies, and the creation that belonged to the heavenly Dao.

Of course, it was worth celebrating.

Therefore, whenever a living being formed their Dao Foundation and obtained the qualification to enter the upper realm, regardless of their clan, the heavenly Dao would send down auspicious signs as a form of encouragement.

Of course, this wasn’t a secret. It was just a well-known secret among the higher-ups of the cultivation world.

The reason why Zhao Qiankun’s expression was so grave was that when he saw this auspicious sign, he was reminded of a sentence from the war god of the upper realm. It seemed casual, but it was full of lament and dissatisfaction.

The heaven and earth were heartless, and the heavenly Dao was emotionless. All living beings were, in the end, ants and chess pieces.

At that time, Zhao Qiankun was still young and thought that it was just a casual sigh.

However, after experiencing the ups and downs of the world for a hundred years, he could not help but recall the words from a hundred years ago when he saw the auspicious sign from the sky.

“The heavens and earth are heartless, the heavenly Dao is emotionless, and all living beings are ultimately just ants and chess pieces?” Zhao Qiankun looked up at the auspicious sky, and his heart was in turmoil.

His expression was calm like he was talking to himself but also asking the heavens.

Soon, he woke up from his confusion.

What happened back then, no matter if it was right or wrong, had already been done. Why should he be bothered now?

However, they were just ants without any ability to resist.

Perhaps he was not even a chess piece, so who cared about the result?

Zhao Qiankun immediately suppressed the matter that was buried deep in his heart and turned to look at Gu Mingzhou. He finally smiled and said with satisfaction.

Zhao Qiankun had already woken up when the Qing Emperor was about to pass on the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique to Gu Mingzhou in the name of inheritance.

At that time, Zhao Qiankun did not inform Gu Mingzhou. He did not want to interrupt Gu Mingzhou and the Qing Emperor’s conversation.

Thus, he first went to find Jing Wudao, who was in seclusion to recuperate, to find out what had happened during this period of time and the current situation.

After understanding the situation, he began to plan his way out.

It was also at this moment that he heard what the Qing Emperor had passed on to Gu Mingzhou.

The Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique.

It was a magical technique that could devour and plunder the cultivation base of others.

The original escape plan had turned into the current immortal creation plan.

He wanted to make Gu Mingzhou immortal.

This was because they still had an opponent who was so powerful that he had no choice but to feign death to avoid them.

In the sky, the enormous nine-sided altar was gradually shrinking.

As the altar became smaller, the feeling of nothingness gradually disappeared, and the altar slowly solidified.
