Chapter 55 Six levels of foundation building, I now enter the Tao
The foundation of heaven's way is naturally not really favored by heaven to build the foundation of the Tao for a young monk practicing Qi.
It is a state in the legend: the mana is pure and polished, reaching the state where the law has the spirit, and the heart has an epiphany, the mana naturally operates and hits the foundation building bottleneck.
Compared with actively attacking the foundation building, which may lead to death, or borrowing the foundation building pill, which may fail, the foundation building of the heavenly way is a complete achievement. Not only is there no reason to fail, but there are many foundations built. magical effect.
If he were still in the second-level spiritual vein cave in Tanyuan Immortal City at this moment, Li Qing would definitely not hesitate for a moment.
But this is in an alien world where spiritual energy has fallen, and there is no protective magic circle to support it. If you build a foundation rashly, who knows if you will run the risk of being "blocked" by others.
Is Shuntian responding and attacking the foundation?
Or should we calm down our mana and wait for the time to come?
Li Qing's heart was racing with thoughts. The reluctance to fail the previous time and the joy of saving his life all came to his mind.
Without time to think too much, he decided to follow his heart: "If you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences. Build the foundation of the road today!"
"The harvest of this green pearl rice will be left to you!" Li Qing turned around and confessed to Ren En.
Immediately, he activated the spiritual contract and brought Chaoyin, who was still in silly music, back to Dantian together with Cordyceps, and then left Lettuce Island with a wind escape.
*
To the east of Lettuce Island, there is an underwater cave.
Li Qing quietly escaped from the water, climbed onto the stalactites, and entered a cave that was not flooded with sea water. This was something he found during his previous treasure hunt.
He took out the protective magic circle he carried with him, and put various self-defense talismans and magic weapons at hand in case of unexpected events. Then he sat down on the ground and let the magic power wander around on its own.
"Crash..." The surging Aoki mana, like an endless tide, travels through the meridians, passes through the acupoints, and goes straight to the spiritual platform above the head.
Similar to the Dantian of the lower abdomen, the spiritual platform on the top does not really exist in the human body, but is another place like a mustard seed. The spiritual consciousness of the cultivator arises here.
But the magical thing is that the spiritual platform is neither here nor there. It is changing every moment, mysterious and unpredictable.
The first level of foundation building is to use mana as a medium to anchor the spiritual platform and understand the location of one's own "god".
The last time he built the foundation, Li Qing was walking on thin ice, as if he were facing an abyss. He tried his best little by little, but still took countless detours. Even with the replenishment of Foundation Establishment Pill, most of the mana is still consumed.
But this time when building the foundation of Heavenly Dao, the mana does not need to be deliberately pulled, it just moves according to the circumstances, and the optimal solution will naturally come out.
In the dark, an orifice was opened by Qingmu's magic power, and suddenly "Heavenly Sound" echoed in the spiritual platform, so vast and majestic that it suffocated his consciousness.
In front of his eyes, there seemed to be flowers falling from the sky, sweet springs gushing from the ground, and the infinite truths of the Tao were clearly revealed, which made Li Qing sigh with emotion, "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."
"How can a mere illusion of spiritual consciousness confuse my Dao mind?" Li Qing frowned slightly, sticking to his original mind and letting it change in all directions, just like a dream.
The last time he built a foundation, Li Qing was almost confused by it. Today, the Tai Chi Yin Fish's enlightenment is still lingering in his heart. Compared with it, this illusion is a bit unattractive.
After a while, many illusions dispersed.
A stream of Aoki's mana arrived smoothly and turned into a long bridge, connecting Dantian below and Lingtai above, with almost no loss.
"Boom--"
This is the magic power falling into the spiritual consciousness, the energy and the spirit merge, just like the change of yin and yang, they have endless intercourse in the spiritual platform.
Li Qing strictly observed the Qingming Festival and watched its evolution without daring to neglect anything.
I saw a drop of pure true energy slowly flowing out between the magic power and spiritual consciousness, which was accumulated in the spiritual platform.
This happens over and over again. A little bit of true energy gradually precipitated into a pool of spiritual liquid.
Anchoring the spiritual platform, detecting illusions, and transforming true energy, these are the first three levels of foundation building.
So, about half a day passed.
Li Qing's consciousness was exhausted, and Aoki's magic power receded like a tide, no longer flowing into the spiritual platform. The true essence liquid then froze at eighty-one drops.
It doesn't look like much, but compared with Li Qing's last foundation building, which only had about twenty points of true energy, it is a world of difference.
And this level is directly linked to the magic power produced by the cultivation method. This is because the spiritual consciousness of Qi Practitioners is fragile after all. The more mixed and illusory their magic power is, the heavier the burden on their spiritual consciousness will be.
As for the true disciples of the great sect, who practice the superior method and condense their magic power into a more pure form, they will be able to gain an advantage in this level.
According to Li Hui's report, Li Zhe condensed the true essence for the first time, but only thirty-nine drops were obtained. The number of true direct descendants in Yanling Valley is about forty-eight.
Comparing the two, you can see how amazing Li Qing's current eighty-one points of true energy is!
But Li Qing couldn't care about this. Instead, he raised his heart and guided the new-born true energy along the path opened by the magic power to reach the fourth level: returning to the Dantian.
The last time he failed to build a foundation, he failed at this level.
If the power of the Dharma is like an oil slick, then the true essence is liquid mercury. It drips from the spiritual platform and once it enters the meridians, it creates a huge burden.
The true energy flowing down compresses the meridians and bulges the acupoints, like an uncontrollable beast, running rampant and unreasonable.
Once the blockade of the acupoints is broken through, the newly born true energy will dissipate on its own and become invisible, so the foundation building will naturally come to nothing.
To achieve this level, either the meridians or acupoints must be made stronger, or enough real energy must be provided to support the loss.
Li Qing himself was an alchemist, so he naturally took a lot of pills to protect his pulse and acupuncture points, as well as inferior foundation-building pills.
However, the potency of medicine has its limits after all, and the twenty or so points of real energy are too much to stretch the hips, and cannot support the losses along the way, so the success is in vain. But today is different!
The damage to Li Qing's body's meridians and acupoints, as well as the accumulated hidden wounds, have all been repaired and repaired during the last spiritual fire training, and they are still strengthened.
If the eighty-one drops of true energy are spiritual, they will not wander around. Along the optimal Jie Chang Bridge of the mana structure, the waves will flow all the way, like a rushing river, and they will flow into the Dantian below unstoppably. among.
"Boom!" There was a thunder in a trance.
When the new true energy falls into the Dantian, it is like water pouring into an oil pan, "exploding" the remaining mana in it to surge and rise.
Under the influence of the true essence, the originally majestic and solid Aoki mana began to purify and aggregate, changing towards the texture of the true essence, and was quickly consumed.
After the transformation, the Qingmu Jue started to circulate, and a massive amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy continued to pour in, but it still seemed like it couldn't catch up.
“It’s not in the world of cultivation after all, and it doesn’t have second-level spiritual veins.”
Li Qing sighed, looked inside his dantian, and found three elf bugs huddled together in shock: “ Use the cordyceps to gather spiritual energy quickly, don’t hesitate!”
Chaoyin of the new contract was still a little scared, but A-Sun and A-Zao did not hesitate and immediately connected the cordyceps to activate the spiritual energy of the world.
*
"Boom!"
Over a certain sea area in the east, thunder roared and lightning raged.
The strong wind rolled up the dark clouds, and the waves roared in angry droplets, creating a vast scene.
The majestic spiritual energy of heaven and earth changed its gloomy nature, swept through the storm, and poured in this direction, like a dragon sucking water.
Suddenly, three more spiritual tornadoes were generated nearby, circling and intertwining, stirring up the wind and rain, adding to the ferociousness.
"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck vertically, causing a huge wave and overturning a wooden boat out to sea for fishing.
"O Poseidon! Please calm down!"
"The Dragon of Disaster, the Dragon of Disaster is coming!"
"Help! My Laura, wait for me, I will definitely come back alive!”
No matter how good the water is, fishermen can only struggle in vain to fight for even a tiny bit of power in the face of this overwhelming power. A chance to survive.
"Gululu..." The exhausted fisherman had already choked on his mouth a few times.
Facing the waves that were getting higher and higher, everyone closed their eyes in despair and made their last prayers to the gods they believed in.
*
Inside the cave, a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth flowed in, and the condensed Aoki True Essence filled the Dantian, beginning to erase the last remnants of the last failed foundation building.
"Crash-" The true energy is like a rushing river, rushing away towards the bottom of the phantom of Tianwei Gate.
The few true energy left before was instantly swept away like thin snow falling into boiling soup.
The fifth level of foundation building, mana liquefaction, accomplished overnight.
The three elf bugs, who were so frightened by the battle that they closed their eyes tightly, together with the Cordyceps, fell into the newly reborn Aoki True Essence without any bumps.
“Eh?” A-Sun opened his eyes curiously.
I saw a stream of true energy turning into huge green lotuses, holding them up steadily and wandering around with the movement of the true energy.
However, the three cordyceps plants were still in the true essence, looking like they were drifting with the crowd.
It touched Ah Zao with its horn, and patted Chaoyin with the tip of its tail to signal them not to be afraid.
"Huh?" "Guka?" The two little guys opened their eyes and saw that they were fine, so they happily started making trouble with Asun again.
Li Qing allowed them to play around in Dantian and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the last step of foundation building. That is to build the foundation of the road.
His eyes were slightly closed, and his consciousness surged, scrolling through all the insights and insights he had gained since he started practicing.
From the original mediocre Qingmu Jue, it is now a superior method that is far superior to the true teachings of the major sects.
From planting spiritual plants to refining elixirs.
From the Yi Jiazi who struggled in the world of cultivation to the elf bug obtained from the other world.
From the Tianwei Gate, to the phantom of the green wood, to the faint sound of the tide...
All the insights, all the methods, at this moment, turned into Li Qing gathered the resources of Daoji.
"Build the foundation of the Tao today!" He opened the storage bag and swallowed the Xuan Jing Fruit given by Li Fang whole.
This effect is beneficial for condensing the Tao foundation. If Li Qing Tiandao builds the foundation in Tanyuan Immortal City, it will naturally not be used. But now that he was in a different world, he would have long nights and many dreams, so Li Qing couldn't care less about the money.
In silence, a simple high platform suddenly appeared under the shadow of the "Tianwei Gate" in the middle of Dantian.
Li Qing’s spiritual consciousness fell from the spiritual platform and turned into the shadow of a three-headed doll on the high platform. He sat cross-legged and sighed: "It has been a waste of sixty years, but now I have entered the Tao..."
