Chapter 455: Foundation Building!
Years passed, and in the blink of an eye, twelve years had passed since Fang Chen's burial.
During that period, the old master came once and stood in front of the grave for a full day before leaving without saying a word.
Victorious Buddha and Profound Green took turns guarding the grave, replacing Tiger Mountain Lord.
For ordinary people, twelve years was a significant portion of their lives, perhaps even a fifth or a sixth of it. But for cultivators, twelve years wasn’t a long period.
Fairy Yu had not visited him since she had left. It was unknown whether she successfully entered the Foundation Building Realm.
Fang Chen stood in front of his grave, silently gazing at the jade coffin. His physical body had completely recovered. It was now filled with blood and flesh, and his appearance had reverted to his youthful state. He appeared to be eighteen or nineteen now.
Fang Chen's eyes were filled with pensiveness. "My physical body has completely recovered.... Why... can't I return to my body?"
There had to be some problem somewhere, but now he had no physical form and only a soul. In this state, he couldn’t investigate.
Wait a minute!
Fang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw the surrounding power of the five elements converging toward this place
In the sky, a huge vortex of spiritual energy appeared, gathering all the spiritual energy within the vicinity of hundreds of miles. The next moment, spiritual energy descended like a giant dragon from the sky, entering the grave and pouring into Fang Chen's body.
Fang Chen smiled. "So that's how it is!"
Not only did his physical body fully recover, but it was also breaking through to the Foundation Building Realm! Once he did, he would immediately be able to return to his body and regain control!
A tiger roar resounded, and Tiger Mountain Lord rushed out from within the forest and stared at the scene playing out in astonishment. It couldn't see the spiritual energy, but it could feel the majestic spiritual energy pouring into the tomb!
The first day quickly passed.
The infusion of spiritual energy continued without any sign of weakening. Tiger Mountain Lord began to patrol around and drove away all outsiders passing by and prevented them from approaching the grave.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, seventy-seven days had passed, and the last strand of spiritual energy flew into his body. It was only then the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky quietly dissipated.
Fang Chen's divine soul moved as it disappeared from his original spot. Inside the jade coffin, Fang Chen slowly opened his eyes.
He flashed to the grave and, upon seeing the inscription on the tombstone, burst into mad laughter. "Hahaha, ancestor, we've found it, Fang Chen is buried here!!"
The grand completion stage Foundation Building Realm cultivator immediately brought several other Foundation Building Realm cultivators to the grave, silently staring at the tombstone.
"We've really found it." The lips of the Foundation Building Realm cultivator curled slightly, lightly smoothing his temples with both hands. He softly said, "Dig it out."
"Yes!"
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately began to dig the grave.
Soon, the soil was completely dug away, revealing a jade coffin in front of everyone.
"It's a jade coffin! Our disciple saw Fang Chen's body lying in the jade coffin that day in Great Qian. We've found the right place!" one Foundation Building Realm cultivator exclaimed excitedly.
"Please, Ancestor, come and open the coffin! In recent years, Fang Chen's reputation has soared in the Hidden Cloud Region, almost becoming a legend. Only the ancestor is worthy of personally uncovering such an existence"
Several Foundation Building Realm cultivators respectfully bowed and expressed their excitement.
The grand completion stage Foundation Building Realm cultivator smiled complacently and stepped toward the jade coffin.
Tiger Mountain Lord roared weakly from a distance, its eyes filled with anger.
Crack.
The jade coffin opened easily, and everyone saw Fang Chen lying spiritedly in the coffin, his appearance vivid and rosy, unlike a dead person.
"Hmm!?" Everyone was slightly startled.
The next moment, Fang Chen opened his eyes and looked at the grand completion stage Foundation Building Realm cultivator with a smile, "You're the ancestor of the Blood Corpse Sect?"
Hiss.
Startled by this unexpected turn of events, these people, who were used to playing with zombies all day, took sharp breaths as goosebumps pimpled their skin.
The ancestor of the Blood Corpse Sect reacted swiftly, and corpse qi gathered around him as he immediately summoned his Copper Armored corpse that he had refined for many years.
Then, a flash of sword light passed by, and the Copper Armored corpse was obliterated to shreds along with the head of the ancestor!
