“A Foundation Establishment based on one’s innate gifts and a cultivation technique that reaches the Nascent Soul Realm or above is considered top-notch?”
“Richard —
There was a pause here as if Taoist Bing Yu lost himself for a moment while talking about the superior foundation, and only then the record continued: “Richard, the foundation is naturally formed.” Seeing this, Su Yu was confused: “???”
What does this mean?
Naturally formed?
Su Yu furrowed his brows, pondering carefully for a moment. If the division really worked like that, then his own foundation should be considered top-notch? He reached the Foundation Establishment Realm on his own, and the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, an ancient cultivation technique, was definitely beyond Nascent Soul Realm.
It was only that what he had were fragments, of which only the first three could be cultivated to reach the Core Formation Realm.
“A top-notch Foundation Establishment is also the basis for becoming an immortal,” recorded Taoist Bing Yu, “Those who rely on external forces only cut themselves off from the path to immortality.”
“The same with Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and especially Nascent Soul.”
“The path to immortality is the path to transcend the mundane, the path to transcendence. If you can’t transcend yourself and you only think of relying on external assistance, can you really talk about becoming immortal?”
While saying this, Taoist Bing Yu sounded very stern.
In a trance, Su Yu seemed to see a powerful taoist preaching in front of him.
His words struck him like thunder, like a wakeup call.
Su Yu’s expression subtly changed. He collected himself after a moment, feeling secretly relieved that he did not need to use the Foundation Establishment Pill or other external aids to advance his cultivation.
However, if he had used the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also had the proficiency panel on him, could he really not become immortal?
Upon pondering, Su Yu thought he still could, but an ‘immortal’ who broke through with the help of external forces might just be a novice?
Afterwards, Taoist Bing Yu started talking about his cultivation enlightenment in the Foundation Establishment Realm and his past cultivation experience.
“As a disciple in charge at the Golden Jade Fairy Gate branch on Qingmu Island, Tan Gu invited me to go to the Fuhai Ridge to look for the spirit beast, Fuhai Xuan Turtle. I was tempted. If I could get the spirit beast’s essence blood and refine it, my foundation would become more solid, and this would bring me great benefits in my future cultivation.”
“However, the Demon Clan ran rampant in Fuhai Ridge. They are not to be trifled with, so after careful consideration, I eventually declined.”
“The next time I heard of Tan Gu’s news was a hundred and eighty years later.
The Golden Jade Fairy Gate on Qingmu Island had been destroyed by the Fuhai Xuan Turtle. Tan Gu, who had already reached the Core Formation stage, was defeated. His master, a true monarch at the Nascent Soul stage, was also defeated.’
“The elder of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate who presided over Qingmu Island, a true monarch who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, along with his top-tier fourth-rank ‘kui dragon’ puppet beast, was also defeated.” “The Fuhai Xuan Turtle clan really holds a grudge. I’m glad I didn’t go!”
Seeing this past experience of Taoist Bing Yu, Su Yu’s pupils suddenly constricted.
The one from Golden Jade Fairy Gate on Qingmu Island?
Is he talking about the ruins at the Eight Demon Ridge now?
If so, what kind of existence was this Fuhai Xuan Turtle that destroyed the Golden Jade Fairy Gate’s stronghold?
At the break of dawn.
Su Yu read a piece about ancient secrets regarding superior foundations that Taoist Bing Yu knew, “In the entire Tian Nan region, among billions of cultivators, there are only three known superior foundations. One belongs to Daozi Jietian from the Sky Immortal Mansion, who has a natural Five Elements body, with Five Elements foundation naturally formed. Another is Long Yaoyao, the Eldest Princess of the Black Dragon Imperial Court, who has a natural Thundering body. The last is Yu Xi, the Saintess of the Demon Sect from the Holy Immortal Church, who has a natural Charm body.”
“A superior foundation that is naturally formed is a child of heaven, and a ‘child of heaven’ is invincible.
In the following days, Su Yu looked somewhat dazed.
The inheritance information of Taoist Bing Yu was really quite shocking. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the talents of those who were considered the ‘children of heaven’, the invincible beings of their time, were in that era.
Su Yu didn’t continue to study Taoist Bing Yu’s inheritance, he needed some time to absorb it all.
However, from Taoist Bing Yu’s teachings, Su Yu learned that the Five
Elements path was a viable approach. The so-called Daozi of Sky Immortal Mansion in ancient times, was naturally born with a Five Elements body, and cultivated the Five Elements body foundation.
Perhaps he was not as good as those children of the heaven at the moment.
But the path is paved step by step, gaining one step each year. There will come a day when he will be able to catch up with them, won’t there?
If he couldn’t surpass his peers, then he would exceed them.
If one level of cultivation wasn’t enough, then he would reach a higher realm.
After pausing from pondering Taoist Bing Yu’s inheritance, Su Yu began his daily cultivation, nourishing the nascent form of his treasure, the ice pearl, and nurturing the seed of the fruit core.
Su Yu’s progression in the Green Wood Year Ring Skill and the Alligator Demon’s Hundred and Eight Body Refinement Realm techniques was steady, while his proficiency in Xuanming Houtu Jue improved rapidly, increasing by several times, even ten times the speed.
The value was not far from breaking through to the eleventh layer.
After leaving the secret room…
Without realizing it, Su Yu came to a corner in front of the family estate. At this time, the purple sun had just risen, and a group of hundred or so children aged three to eight gathered in the open space. They sat cross-legged, as Clan Elder Su Yun taught them some basic knowledge of cultivation.
Moreover, they used a cultivation technique with no attributes or grades, “The Nature Sutra”, to breathe in the purple qi of heaven and earth, laying a foundation for future cultivation.
About an hour later…
Su Yun, who sat cross-legged at the front, opened his eyes. His expression was calm and serene. “You must avoid arrogance and impatience in cultivation, remain composed and steady. Every day you must persist in cultivating, steadily and consistently. The matter of cultivation is your own business, and can only depend on yourself.”
“Remember, when you go home, sit quietly for another hour, reflect on ‘The
Nature Sutra’, and then read aloud ‘The Nature Sutra’ for another hour.’
Some children immediately showed bitter faces upon hearing this, complaining: “Ah, not again, punishment for sitting and reciting..”
