Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Breaking Through Foundation Establishment, A Pleasant Surprise for Jian Yuanzi

In the secret chamber, Yang Ji's Divine Sense penetrated the Cultivation Technique Jade Slip, beginning to comprehend the True Rigidity Divine Art.

[You begin to read the Cultivation Technique, astonished by each character of the technique brimming with a vigorous aura, an overwhelming surge of robust and profound energy instantly makes your blood and Qi churn.]

[You constantly perceive the essence of the path emanated by the characters of the Cultivation Technique, as well as the profound mysteries contained within the text.]

[You begin to comprehend.]

[Wrong direction, you adjust in time.]

[You comprehend once again.]

[Wrong again.]

[You perceive again.]

[Ten times repeated.]

[Over two days, you grasp the essence of True Rigidity. True Rigidity means that Spiritual Power is incredibly hard and unbreakable, and the spirit is called firm and brave.]

[You begin to circulate the Cultivation Technique, preparing to absorb Spiritual Energy.]

[Incorrect circulatory route, you try again.] Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[You marvel that the True Rigidity Divine Art deserves to be a Dao-level technique, as its circulatory route is more than a hundred times more complex than the Ling Water Technique.]

[You continue to attempt, ten days have passed.]

[After failing twenty-five times, you finally succeed in circulating the True Rigidity Divine Art to complete a significant Heaven cycle and absorb Qi.]

[Once the technique is in motion, the surrounding Spiritual Energy swarms over like bees, condensing into mist.]

[You marvel that a Dao-level technique is indeed Dao-level, it's effectiveness in absorbing free-floating Spiritual Energy is more than a hundred times better than lower-level techniques.]

[You continue to circulate the technique and find that the Heaven power generated by the Dao-level technique inside the body is too strong, increasing the amount of Spiritual Energy absorbed by the Lower-grade Root Bone multiple times, and enhancing the speed of Cultivation.]

[Not only that, but the speed at which a Dao-level technique refines Spiritual Energy is also tens of times faster than that of lower-level techniques, which makes you overjoyed, and you continue to Cultivate.]

After several Heaven cycles of True Rigidity Divine Art circulation, the first strand of refined Spiritual Power falls into the Dantian.

Currently in the Dantian, there is both the Water Spiritual Power and a trace of True Rigidity Spiritual Power.

Yang Ji distinctly felt the difference between the two types of Spiritual Power. True Rigidity Spiritual Power was extremely heavy, plummeting to the bottom of the Dantian, not like the Ling Water Spiritual Power which floated like mist.

Yang Ji stopped absorbing and immediately drew it out, the semi-transparent True Rigidity Spiritual Power, rigid like a sword, pressing down on his robe until it was bent.

Yang Ji took out his Flying Sword, then flicked a strand of Spiritual Power from his fingers, shooting it out like a sharp arrow, hiss! The Spiritual Power collided with the Flying Sword, and sparks splattered as the Spiritual Power shattered incrementally.

Yes!

The Spiritual Power shattered.

Yet, it also left a pinhole-sized white spot on the Flying Sword, quite noticeable.

Yang Ji was surprised, inwardly sighing at how hard True Rigidity Spiritual Power was; just a trace could leave a mark on the Flying Sword.

But looking at the shattered Spiritual Power, he instantly discovered its weakness; too rigid, therefore prone to breaking.

Upon reflection, Yang Ji then shot out a strand of Ling Water Spiritual Power, which was as light as cotton, hitting a stone slab, bending its waist, and bouncing back.

"True Rigidity Spiritual Power is too rigid, unlike the flexibility of Ling Water Spiritual Power. It's like tempered glass, very hard when hard, but turns into a pile of granules when shattered," said Yang Ji, shaking his head. With such a comparison, the strengths and weaknesses of the two types of Spiritual Energy were immediately clear.

All things considered, True Rigidity Spiritual Power is much more powerful and suited to his approach.

Yang Ji then closed his eyes and began to circulate the True Rigidity Divine Art, transforming the Water Spiritual Power within his body.

Having two types of Spiritual Power with different attributes in one Dantian is something most people dare not do, as it could easily lead to deviation and insanity.

But Yang Ji dared because he comprehended the essence of both Cultivation Techniques, and thus he had no such worries.

Three days passed, and half of the Ling Water Spiritual Power inside his body had already been transformed into True Rigidity Spiritual Power.

The efficiency of this refinement was indeed too high, revealing the terror of a Dao-level cultivation technique.

At this moment, within the Dantian, True Rigidity Spiritual Power was below, and the Ling Water Spiritual Power above, both arranged in an orderly fashion, without interfering with each other.

But when Yang Ji was about to continue operating the True Rigidity Divine Art to transform the remaining Ling Water Spiritual Power, he froze...

Because he found a message displayed within the Dantian: [True Rigidity Spiritual Power and Ling Water Spiritual Power have begun to merge.]

In the Dantian... the two types of Spiritual Power, which previously did not interfere with each other, unexpectedly began to merge.

The process was very gentle, not violent at all, so much so that Yang Ji had not noticed it at all.

The two kinds of Spiritual Power wove together like Yin Yang, everything was so natural, intimately intertwined, like the loving embrace of a man and a woman, becoming entwined.

In the end... they actually formed a completely new type of Spiritual Power that bore a hint of a very faint water-blue color; if one didn't look closely, it could not be discerned at all.

"What is this?" Yang Ji was astonished and quickly drew a wisp of Spiritual Power out, observed it dancing between his fingers.

Then he flicked his finger, and with a hiss, his Flying Sword left a mark, the Spiritual Power unscattered.

Yang Ji beckoned with a reverse gesture, and the Spiritual Power returned to his hand.

"This new kind of Spiritual Power actually possesses the flexibility and agility of Ling Water Spiritual Power and also the thickness and hardness of True Rigidity Spiritual Power, truly a marvelous creation."

Yang Ji burst into hearty laughter.

Without any intent to be clever, cleverness became reality!

Seeing this, how could Yang Ji possibly remove all the Ling Water Spiritual Power?

Merging the two kinds of Spiritual Power is the correct path.

In the following days, after all the new Spiritual Power had formed, Yang Ji began to purify the Spiritual Power within his body, transforming it from a gaseous state to a liquid state.

The Dao-level cultivation technique lived up to the "Dao" character; within half a month, the Spiritual Power in his body had all been transformed into liquid form and sunk to the bottom of his Spirit Sea.

The Spirit Sea that was originally brimming became empty again as the Spiritual Power turned liquid.

It was at the moment the Spiritual Power liquefied that a Spiritual Pressure emanated from within Yang Ji, causing the surrounding air and the free Spiritual Energy to ripple, swirling around him.

Yang Ji was distinctly aware of a special aura forming around him, fluctuating with the turmoil of the Spiritual Power within his body.

This aura, as his cultivation increased, would expand further and further; within a radius of thirty feet, any incoming attack would quickly be detected by this aura, allowing him to react calmly and in time.

When the time came for Golden Core formation, the Spiritual Power would solidify within his body, forming an energy domain as defensive as a metal wall, impenetrable to anyone below Foundation Establishment.

It was at the instant the aura formed that Yang Ji knew he had broken through, successfully advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The shackles on his life were also broken, successfully gaining a lifespan of two hundred years.

The wonderful feeling that came with this increase in lifespan made him savor every moment.

It was at the exact moment his Spiritual Pressure was released that Jian Yuanzi, outside the great hall, distinctly felt these fluctuations of Spiritual Pressure.

A rare look of emotion appeared in Jian Yuanzi's eyes, "This aura, has my disciple broken through to Foundation Establishment?"

"Just one month, and my disciple has grasped the True Rigidity Divine Art?"

"No, one month is the time it took him from grasping the cultivation technique to breaking through to Foundation Establishment, which means... the time he took to grasp the technique was far less than a month."

"A genius, truly a genius with extraordinary comprehension!"

Having realized this, Jian Yuanzi abruptly stood up, looking towards Yang Ji's closed chamber with a look of surprise in his eyes,

"With such comprehension, it's enough to convene a session of the Elders' Council with the Divinity Transformation Supreme and all Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the sect."

"His treatment and status could potentially be raised to that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and among the three Spirit Cleansing Pills, one could well be for him."
