Chapter 345: Chapter 191: Foundation Building Tenth Layer_2

Translator: 549690339

Even with precious spiritual grass, what’s the use if one’s cultivation shows no progress? It would be wasted. In the Cultivation World, only strength matters most.

When one’s lifespan is near its end, unable to advance to the next realm, the only path left is death and lifelong regret. At that point, no culinary skill can be of use.

After the wedding ceremony, Lin Yi and his peers went to the bridal chamber to congratulate the newlyweds on their marriage and wish them a child soon.

Even though the face of the senior brother, Zhou Yun Feng, was filled with joy, occasionally, traces of regret and guilt could be seen in his eyes.

The following day, the Gold Sword Zen Ren gathered his disciples to praise the wedding ceremony and handed out numerous rewards.

At the same time, he issued orders to Zhou Yun Feng and Qi Jing Yu, the freshly married couple. He sent them to take a tour of the Cultivation World, to enjoy their time together.

Unable to defy their master’s orders, the newlyweds packed and set off for some scenic places.

Once the auspicious event of Golden Sword Peak concluded, Lin Yi once again plunged into secluded cultivation, striving to upgrade his cultivation to the nine complete levels of Foundation Establishment as soon as possible and map out the way to the Foundation Building Tenth Layer.

Gradually, three years passed. Under the constant guidance of Pill Immortal Master, Lin Yi gained much cultivation that elevated his own realm to the Foundation Building Nine Complete Levels.

When his realm level had reached its full extent, no matter how many classes he attended, he could no longer acquire any cultivation. Only through breaking through could he continue to gain cultivation.

Lin Yi also began planning the cultivation program for the evolution of the Foundation Building Tenth Layer. To evolve as soon as possible, he temporarily suspended all other plans, including alchemy.

His high-order alchemy skill was already at the grandmaster level, several hundred experience points short of reaching great perfection. Following the normal alchemy rhythm, it would take six to seven years to achieve it.

The creation of the Foundation Building Tenth Layer realm has two titles that could be helpful. One of them is [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes], which is now at the fifth tier, allowing for fifteen days of enlightenment opportunities.

The other is the title [Creation Perfection] he received when he evolved the Qi Refining Tenth Layer. This title boosts his cultivation speed during the practice of the Creation Method, and during the evolution to the Perfection Realm, deep enlightenment could be gained.

As he had already evolved the Qi Refining Tenth Layer when he received the title, Lin Yi didn’t have the chance to verify its effect. Now that he’s about to evolve the Foundation Building Tenth Layer, he was curious about how these two titles would combine and operate together.

In these three years, Lin Yi didn’t spend all his time in seclusion; sometimes he’d leave to understand recent events.

The biggest regret was the accidental death of Fire Fierce, from the Divine Fire Lineage, while cultivating in a fire hazard zone. The soul lamp he left behind in the sect had also been extinguished.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head and sighed. The Cultivation World had a few hazardous zones; their danger level was far greater than that of the Dan God Secret Realm. He wasn’t sure if Fire Feather could survive.

He couldn’t explore those dangerous areas right now. These zones were much more dangerous than he’d imagined, and he didn’t know if Fire Fierce’s demise was due to the hazards within the zone, or if someone had plotted against him.

However, Divine Fire Zen Ren had investigated the hazard zone upon hearing the news. Fire Fierce had been burned to ashes by the flames in the fire hazard zone, and there were no signs of fighting.

All Lin Yi could do was hope that Fire Feather would survive. Once he reached the Golden Core, he would try to find Fire Feather by some means.

After reaching the Foundation Building Nine Complete Levels, Lin Yi took a few days off before embarking on his plan to create and evolve to the Foundation Building Tenth Layer.

In his subsequent cultivation, he spent most of his time in the cultivation cave mansion on Golden Sword Peak, occasionally entering the Dan God Secret Realm.

Since his own cultivation had already reached the Foundation Building Nine Complete Levels, any additional spiritual energy absorption would not increase his cultivation. All he could do was absorb spiritual energy and practice the Creation Method, to create and evolve the Tenth Layer, regardless of where he was.

During the process of creation and evolution, Lin Yi understood that the difficulty of achieving the Foundation Building Tenth Layer was several times greater than that of the Qi Refining Tenth Layer.

At the same time, he also felt the effects of the [Creation Perfection] title. Even without using the [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] Enlightenment Opportunity, he could still gain some insights during the process of creation and evolution.

In addition to this, every fifteen days, he would perform an accumulation of enlightenment, utilizing all the enlightenment opportunities accumulated by [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes].

After a few months, the enlightenment opportunities from the two titles gave Lin Yi a certain understanding of the creation and evolution of the Foundation Building Tenth Layer. However, he was still far from breaking through and successfully evolving to the Tenth Layer.

The Qi Refining Realm is merely a prelude for cultivators. It is only at the Foundation Establishment that one truly steps onto the path of cultivation. The Foundation Building Realm is also an important link in the cultivation journey. Its solidity has a bearing on future cultivation accomplishments.

This is why, at the Foundation Building Realm, even a slight damage to the foundation may cause one to miss the chance of forming a Golden Core.

To evolve to the Tenth Layer, Lin Yi now needs to build an additional layer on top of a foundation that has already reached its limit, making it truly complete. This is even more difficult than a normal Foundation Building Stage Great Perfection Cultivator forming a Golden Core.

Without the aid of the titles, attempting to create and evolve to the Tenth Layer solely through his own cultivation talent would probably take decades of time.

Four years swiftly passed. After reaching the Foundation Building Realm, time flew like the flicking of fingers. During this time, Lin Yi managed to gradually comprehend the creation and evolution of the Tenth Layer through the enlightenment effects of the two titles. Now, he was on the cusp of the final step.

Simultaneously, his [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] title improved to the sixth level during these constant failures and enlightenments. The time limit for enlightenment opportunities expanded from fifteen days to twenty days.

Furthermore, the [Elite Survivor] title of Survivor Path increased from the second tier to the third tier, giving a +6 to Realm Concealment. If he broke through to the Tenth Layer of Foundation Building, his cultivation level would remain at the fourth layer of Foundation Building, with no change whatsoever.

This was consistent with his characteristic of having lower-grade spiritual roots. Otherwise, if his cultivation level increased too quickly, it might draw attention.

After resting for a few days, Lin Yi began his final sprint, with twenty days of accumulated enlightenment opportunities and attaining the Minor Blessing State. He spent several thousand Virtue Points and broke through the bottleneck of the Tenth Layer of Foundation Building in one fell swoop.

A popup appeared before his eyes: “Cultivation level +1.”

Even though he knew he had already broken through, Lin Yi hurriedly opened the title panel to confirm that his cultivation realm had transformed from the ninth to the tenth layer of Foundation Building.

Lin Yi let out a long sigh of relief. He had managed to create and evolve to the Tenth Layer and overcome a major challenge in the Foundation Building Realm. What remained was to continue cultivation with the aim of forming a Golden Core, or refining a Golden Core, within ten years.

The Foundation Building Tenth Layer that he created and evolved did not show any special changes. It was likely that the miraculousness of the Creation Method, similar to the Qi Refining Realm, would only manifest when promoting to Great Realm.

The next task was about the opening of the Dan God Secret Realm in the Xuan Tian Realm. Seven years had passed since the Dan God Secret Realm in the Heng Yuan World had been opened, and the Secret Realm had now appeared in a certain part of the Xuan Tian Realm. It would take a year to open it.

This time, as before, he would select some disciples within the Xuan Tian Realm to turn against their Sect.

As for the disciples who had turned traitor in the Heng Yuan World, he would occasionally collect some information from them over these seven years.

Because the Dan God Secret Realm enabled unrestricted teleportation within the Heng Yuan Realm, his safety was greatly assured. However, each time he collected information, he would only open the Rosy Clouds Passage and let these disciples write down the information and throw it into the passage. He himself would not leave.

With the barrier of the Dan Immortal Formation, no cultivator could sense the appearance of the Secret Realm Passage. If he were to emerge from the passage, in a Righteous Sect it might be okay, but if he were in a Sect filled with Yin Qi like the Xuan Yin Sect, he might get detected by a Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator.

During these years, Wang Feng Ping of the Xuan Yin Sect brought a conjecture. It seemed that the Golden Core Real Persons of the Xuan Yin Sect were planning something big. All the direct disciples were kept in the dark, and it seemed related to the previous Evil Spirits incident in Qing Yun City.

Lin Yi advised him to be cautious and not deliberately investigate. He didn’t care about whatever cunning plot or scheme the Xuan Yin Sect had. It wouldn’t affect his plans to focus on cultivation so as to reach the Golden Core as soon as possible, which was the most important thing.
