Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2800 - 1036: Perfect Sword Qi, Foundation Establishment in a Thought_2

If this goes on, the mild water will eventually reach a boiling point, and Luo Chen’s consciousness will inevitably refine it completely.

Thus, resistance began.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod, being Luo Chen’s innate magic treasure, maintained a constant link with his spirit. Luo Chen had already discerned the Kui Ox Ghost God’s clandestine power buildup to break free from restraint.

Now, as the opponent planned a final, desperate struggle, Luo Chen felt no apprehension whatsoever.

There was no better juncture; a decisive victory could be achieved right here, right now!

The Million Soul-Consuming Banner had been stirring restlessly for ages, yearning for a master soul.

However, just as Luo Chen prepared to act, an inexplicable resonance surged through his divine soul.

"Foundation Establishment?"

Luo Chen exclaimed involuntarily.

A radiant spark flickered within his gaze.

According to his perception, his avatar had just achieved a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

By the timeline, he should only be twelve years old!

"Initiated the Dao at six, reached Foundation Establishment at twelve... Tsk tsk, this cultivation pace, all my efforts were truly worth it!"

Despite the surprise, immense joy predominated.

Luo Chen harbored no worries about potential issues arising from his avatar’s rapid cultivation. True prodigies were destined to defy conventional expectations.

After all, that body had absorbed the potential of his twin sister, been nourished by top-tier water lotus seeds from youth, and integrated with a spring imbued with the origin power of laws.

This unique combination already surpassed Luo Chen’s own Fire Spirit Body, and even exceeded the esteemed Shi Ju he encountered previously.

With such an extraordinary foundation, any miraculous cultivation feats by the avatar would be entirely logical!

"Keep striving!"

"One day, you will meet me, and we shall merge into a single entity."

Luo Chen murmured with a smile.

Conversely, atop the Primordial Chaos Tripod, the avatar of the Kui Ox had attained its maximum form, letting out a roar into the boundless Azure Darkness.

Luo Chen’s smile vanished. He pointed to the center of his brow and uttered a Buddhist incantation.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

A golden luminescence erupted from his brow, subsequently engulfing his entire being.

A Nascent Soul abruptly opened its eyes, enveloping Luo Chen’s physical form, and extended two massive hands toward the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Boom!

Golden flames ignited!

Boom!

Azure flames spread!

At this precise moment, the Nascent Soul’s left hand unleashed Nirvana, while its right hand wielded Withering and Flourishing, initiating the final refining assault upon the Kui Ox Ghost God!

...

Simultaneously.

On a different continent, within the expansive Bailu Marsh.

Inside a waterside pavilion, a refined young man slowly opened his eyes in a daze.

"Ascending to the Foundation Establishment Stage felt so effortless?"

Before him lay an unfurled, aged scroll. It depicted the Zhou Family’s paramount method for achieving Foundation Establishment breakthroughs. Other disciples typically received only oral instruction and had to rely on mere copies; however, this was the original artifact.

This was his unique privilege, bestowed by the Zhou Family’s ancestor.

In addition to the Foundation Establishment technique, there was a vibrant, multicolored coral, a meticulously prepared spiritual liquid, and three high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

These comprehensive provisions were meticulously assembled by Zhou Fuqiu in preparation for his advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Yet, not a single item was utilized!

He merely acted on instinct, attempting the breakthrough and succeeding, a feat that was simply beyond comprehension.

If the outside world were privy to this, disbelief would surely ensue.

Even possessing a Heavenly Spirit Root endowment, such a smooth progression should not have been possible.

Even Luo Chen might have felt a pang of envy upon learning of this. After all, Luo Chen’s own Foundation Establishment was a near-fatal ordeal, achieved through sheer perseverance.

In stark contrast, Zhou Fuqiu had crossed that critical threshold with astonishing ease.

With a mere thought!

An unfathomable power emanated from the youth’s mind, radiating outwards from the center of the Green Water Pavilion.

One mile, two miles, three miles... Reaching three miles, it already surpassed the expected range for an initial Foundation Establishment cultivator; however, Zhou Fuqiu didn't cease this delicate sensing, extending it further.

Four miles, five miles... Ten miles ensued before a faint weariness finally set in.

Nevertheless, alongside the fatigue, a profound sense of exhilaration bloomed.

He recognized this perceptive capability as a significant marker of a cultivator’s successful ascension to Foundation Establishment, commonly referred to as 'Spiritual Consciousness'.

An ordinary cultivator newly entering Foundation Establishment could typically achieve a range of one to two miles, yet he had extended his reach to a full ten miles!

This achievement unequivocally demonstrated Zhou Fuqiu’s exceptional endowment regarding his divine soul.

"Could this be attributed to my physique?"

"But divine soul endowment has minimal correlation with physical constitution; it is primarily intrinsic from birth and develops naturally over time. Why does my divine soul endowment deviate so drastically from the established records in ancient texts?"

Zhou Fuqiu found himself enveloped in profound bewilderment.

For six consecutive years, he had pursued cultivation with minimal guidance from his elders, primarily relying on self-study and personal exploration.

However, his achievements frequently diverged from established texts.

Zhou Fuqiu couldn't pinpoint what had gone awry, but his weary divine soul compelled him to withdraw his spirit consciousness.

As he retracted, he sensed numerous scenes of living entities.

The inhabitants in the vicinity of the Green Water Pavilion maintained a respectful distance, apparently hesitant to disturb his focus.

Granny Lin instructed a few capable women to tidy the courtyard. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she hurried towards the kitchen, her advanced age betraying her frailty.

Within a tranquil cultivation chamber, his sister Zhou Qingyu sat with closed eyes, endeavoring to sense Spirit Qi. No spirit power fluctuations were apparent. Despite consuming those three pills, was her cultivation still progressing with such difficulty?

Upon the complete retraction of his spirit consciousness, the young man perceived distinct changes within his own body.

Cloud-like Spirit Qi began to coalesce in the atmosphere.

Exquisite droplets of profoundly pure spirit liquid descended from the clouds, resembling a gentle drizzle.

This precipitation then intensified, transforming into a heavier rain.

Once again, this phenomenon defied the established records of cultivation.

During typical Foundation Establishment, spirit liquid is painstakingly extracted drop by drop, yet in his case, it poured down like an unending deluge.

Such an immense abundance of spirit power completely contradicted the scarcity principle inherent in the "Lu Chan Technique."

In Zhou Fuqiu's estimation, even if one practiced the Zhou Family’s ancestral techniques or the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s advanced water-element techniques, they couldn't rival his current state.

Astonishingly, Zhou Fuqiu's hands continued their intricate movements.

He shaped a spiritual secret, directing the vast torrent of spirit liquid to meticulously rebuild his Dantian, adhering to the "Lu Chan Technique" doctrine.

Time slipped by, unnoticed.

Employing inner visualization, Zhou Fuqiu was utterly astounded by his discoveries.

The Sea of Qi that formed within his Dantian was not merely a pond or a river; it resembled an unfathomably deep abyss.

Regardless of how torrential the spirit liquid rain became, this Sea of Qi ceaselessly contained it all.

"Magnificent!"

"Cultivation is truly magnificent!"

Muttering to himself, Zhou Fuqiu opened his eyes.

Dressed in crimson coral attire, he meticulously gathered the essential components for Foundation Establishment—all of which he intended to bestow upon his sister in the future.

He then retrieved a considerable collection of spell tomes, a gift from Mo Wanting, from his Storage Bag.

From an early age, Zhou Fuqiu had recognized his formidable talent in spellcraft.

He could comprehend merely by glancing, and master it upon the first attempt at learning!

After a brief period of understanding, he could even execute spells instantaneously!

Such innate talent, coupled with his abundant Qi power, meant that any time spent learning spells would not be wasted.

Healing Technique, Water Bomb Technique, Water Arrow Technique, Water Prison Technique…

All these rudimentary water spells were barely registered by Zhou Fuqiu, as he had already mastered them in private, reaching a state of profound proficiency and skill.

Water Avoidance Art, Wave Stepping Technique, Water Dragon Vortex, Glass Sky Canopy…

Simply by perusing their descriptions, Zhou Fuqiu grasped their functions.

Escape techniques, large-scale group assaults, single-target strikes, defensive maneuvers.

He could learn them all!

Even so, Zhou Fuqiu remained less than satisfied.

He expanded his spirit consciousness, scanning several spells stored within jade slips.

"Fog Locked Jade Tower," "Nine Bends Heavenly River," "Spirit Communication and Form Retention"…

"Third Order?"

"There are even Fourth Order Water Type Techniques!"

"Director Yu Heng Mo Wanting is truly exceedingly generous!"

Zhou Fuqiu felt a surge of anticipation; with his innate talent, could he truly master these Third Order Water Magics?

Hesitantly, he subconsciously opened a Third Order Technique, noted for cultivation below the Golden Core Period.

Its title—"Mirror Flower, Water Moon!"

In an unseen way, he felt this particular technique would harmonize exceptionally well with him.
