122: The most outrageous martial arts foundation in history, a breakthrough in the golden body formula!

Mo Fan walked out of the Scripture Hall with a bulging Brocade Pouch in his hand and a smile on his face.

Although he was surprised why three people had suddenly gone to the Chuan Gong Hall to exchange for Vajra Fist,

Mo Fan was still delighted to have the Spirit Stones in hand.

"It's probably a coincidence. Whatever, having Spirit Stones is a good thing!

"These 360 Spirit Stones are truly timely help. They'll save a lot of trouble, at least ten days of Alchemy!"

Mo Fan felt very pleased.

Setting everything else aside, Alchemy was truly difficult.

He had previously spent twenty days refining day and night, and it had nearly driven him mad with boredom.

But even so, he had only earned 600 Spirit Stones.

"Earning from Low Grade pills is just hard labor..."

Mo Fan shook his head helplessly.

As he thought, he quickened his pace and soon returned home.

After closing the doors and windows, Mo Fan cast an Appraisal Technique on the Brocade Pouch.

The azure virtual panel flashed, and a prompt appeared.

[Discovered Low-Grade Spirit Stone * 360. Can be absorbed and converted into attribute points. Absorb?]

"Absorb."

A flash of light occurred, and the Brocade Pouch instantly flattened as the Spirit Stones inside vanished.

At the same time, Mo Fan's attribute panel quietly changed.

[Name: Mo Fan]

[Cultivation: Innate Ninth Level (+)]

[...] (Click to expand)

[Available attribute points: 1080]

"1080? Not bad, there'll be some left over."

A mysterious smile formed at the corners of Mo Fan's mouth. He focused his mind on the plus sign next to the cultivation column.

He gave it a light tap with his will.

Boom!

It felt like a small boat in the middle of a vast ocean.

Terrifying energy surged from an unknown space, washing over Mo Fan's body and connecting his brow to his Qi Sea.

In an instant, the Qi Sea seemed to be set ablaze.

Galaxies rolled, and star systems flickered in and out of existence.

Between the birth and death of a vast Universe, a majestic Aura erupted.

Simultaneously, a thunderous roar sounded.

Thunder rolled, and endless Innate Protective Aura gushed out, feeding back into his body.

At this moment, Mo Fan's entire being was glowing.

Every strand of his hair was crystalline, his fine hairs were translucent, and his flesh and bones began to turn jade-like, flowing with brilliant light.

His Aura climbed rapidly, approaching its limit.

This change continued for twenty minutes before stopping.

Feeling the changes within himself, Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes.

"I seem to have gotten a bit stronger, but it's not too outrageous..."

After experiencing the Breakthrough from Innate Second Level to Innate Seventh Level in one go, Mo Fan felt these last two Breakthroughs were only just passable.

He quickly calmed his heart, took a breath, and focused on the attribute panel.

[Name: Mo Fan]

[Cultivation: Peak of Innate Realm (+)]

[...] (Click to expand)

[Available attribute points: 80]

His cultivation had successfully broken through to Peak of Innate Realm.

His available attribute points had dropped from the original 1080 to the current 80.

"Peak of Innate Realm—

"Not bad. Next is to try and construct the martial dao foundation embryo to advance to Foundation Establishment."

Settling his mind, information regarding Foundation Establishment surfaced in Mo Fan's head.

As the name suggested, Foundation Establishment meant laying the foundations.

Skyscrapers rise from the ground; only by laying a good foundation can one build a grand tower.

If the foundation was not solid, no matter how high one's cultivation talent was, future achievements would be limited.

Foundation Establishment was a vital turning point on the path of cultivation.

If the foundation was well-built, even those with slightly poorer talent might be able to stage a comeback in the future.

Therefore, many people were extremely cautious during Foundation Establishment, preferring to spend a large amount of time polishing their martial dao foundation embryo rather than regretting it later.

There were even some extreme individuals who spent years or even over a decade polishing their martial dao foundation embryo.

All for that tiny sliver of possibility in the future.

Of course, science had proven that such behavior was actually inadvisable.

Because the basics were set right there.

The upper limit was only so high.

No matter how much you polished it, you couldn't make a flower bloom from nothing.

And for someone like Mo Fan, there was actually no need to polish anything.

He would simply go for it in one breath, construct his martial dao foundation embryo directly, and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm today!

There was no other way; the quality of his Qi Sea was too high, too perfect.

It was so perfect that there was no way to polish it even if he wanted to.

Yes, the so-called construction of the martial dao foundation embryo was related to the Qi Sea.

In reality, it was using Mental Energy to manifest the formless Qi Sea, condensing it into a tangible form.

The Qi Sea opened at Body Tempering Peak was blurred, invisible, and untouchable.

When inside the Qi Sea, you might be able to sense its size and quality, but you couldn't sense its specific shape.

You could only use your imagination to feel that it was a lake, a river, or a small puddle.

After all, this thing was called a 'Qi Sea'.

But in reality, when you manifested it, it could very likely be a sword, a blade, a spear, a staff, and so on.

Of course, it could also be a worm, a bird, a white tiger, or something else.

Anyway, it could be anything, and no one could clearly explain the specific principles behind it.

And this process was the so-called construction of the martial dao foundation embryo.

Constructing the martial dao foundation embryo was closely related to Mental Energy.

Those who supposedly 'polished' their martial dao foundation embryo were, to put it bluntly, polishing their Mental Energy.

Only when Mental Energy was stronger

could they better manifest the Qi Sea into a martial dao foundation embryo, letting it take on the form it was meant to have and exert the quality it should possess.

Of course, Mo Fan didn't need any polishing.

His Qi Sea was clearly visible, not blurred at all, as if it were real.

He could even feel the light and heat of those stars, and the depth and mystery of the star sea.

Being within the Qi Sea was like looking up at the galaxy in reality.

In other words.

His martial dao foundation embryo was already formed and didn't need a huge effort to polish or construct.

Because his Qi Sea was equivalent to the martial dao foundation embryo.

Therefore, it was very simple for Mo Fan to break through to Foundation Establishment.

He only needed to use his Mental Energy to manifest his Qi Sea.

While thinking, Mo Fan concentrated his Mental Energy.

With a 'shoo', his consciousness descended into the Qi Sea.

As he focused, his Mental Energy rapidly spread out, enveloping the Qi Sea.

Boom!

Lightning flashed and thunder roared as the Qi Sea boiled, emitting a dazzling and brilliant light.

In reality, the space behind Mo Fan vibrated rapidly and collapsed in patches, as if something terrifying was about to be outlined.

Sensing this, Mo Fan couldn't help but feel delighted.

"The martial dao foundation embryo is about to manifest!"

Just imagine, in future fights, throwing out a whole sea of stars directly—no matter how strong the opponent was, they'd have to spit blood!

Of course, the martial dao foundation embryo at the Foundation Establishment stage was still very unstable; even if it could be manifested, few people would summon it for use.

There was no way around it; it was too fragile.

If it accidentally shattered,

wouldn't one have nowhere to go to cry?

Only in the Returning to Origin Realm, after condensing the Primordial Spirit Light, would the martial dao foundation embryo gradually become solidified.

Only then could summoning the martial dao foundation embryo significantly boost one's strength.

However, Mo Fan felt that his martial dao foundation embryo was outrageously strong; perhaps it could already play a certain role even in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Thinking this, Mo Fan couldn't help but look forward to it.

What kind of experience would it be for a mere Foundation Establishment to chase people around and smash them with a sea of stars?

However, before he could finish his daydream, he was stunned, his eyes widened, and his whole being was dazed.

He saw the Qi Sea space connected to his consciousness suddenly grow dim. Star systems rapidly collapsed and shrank, eventually even turning into a single point.

The entire star sea instantly went dark, and the heavens fell into absolute darkness.

"What the hell?" Witnessing this scene, Mo Fan was completely dumbfounded.

"What happened? Where did my Qi Sea go?

"Could it be... gone?

"Is it because the star sea was too outrageous that it couldn't be manifested?"

Mo Fan was utterly stunned, frozen in place, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Should I continue manifesting and bring out that point, or should I open up a more normal Qi Sea again?

"These ups and downs... what a disaster!"

Mo Fan wanted to cry but had no tears; he even felt like dying.

However, just as he was at a loss, a flash of bright light suddenly appeared in the endless darkness.

It was a sword light as brilliant as a galaxy.

Following that, a domineering jade great sword sliced through the pitch-black space.

Swish, swish, swish!

Endless sword light erupted from the jade sword, illuminating the entire heavens.

In Mo Fan's vision, points rapidly expanded, emitting light and heat, finally evolving into stars one by one.

Then the stars gathered into star systems.

The star systems gathered into galaxies.

Finally, the galaxies gathered into a star sea.

At this instant, Mo Fan once again had a connection with his Qi Sea.

Simultaneously, the jade sword seemed to have completed its mission and sank into the depths of the star sea, vanishing from sight.

"My Qi Sea... is back?" Mo Fan was a bit dazed.

"What exactly is the origin of this little sword..."

Unlike the last time he opened his Qi Sea,

this time, Mo Fan clearly saw the little sword. He saw it display its Divine Might, carving out a Universe with a single strike.

"This is too far-fetched. This thing is a bit outrageous. What level of Divine Artifact is this?"

Mo Fan was a bit disoriented.

"Is it appropriate for my Future Wife to give me such an outrageous thing?"

But he didn't think too much more. Instead, he concentrated his spirit and continued to manifest this star sea as his martial dao foundation embryo.

This time it went smoothly. After a while, a faint star sea appeared behind Mo Fan.

This was his martial dao foundation embryo, dark and profound, as if connected to another Universe.

At the same time,

strands of mysterious energy erupted from the faint star sea behind Mo Fan, scattering over him like starlight, draping him in a layer of gossamer light, enveloping his entire being.

Starlight entered his body.

His flesh, bones, tissues, organs, and even cells—even his Soul—seemed to have attained sublimation.

At this moment, he broke the shackles of life and evolved to another level.

"It's done!" Feeling the changes in himself, Mo Fan was overjoyed... Inner Sect.

A tall young man with a buzz cut and sharp eyes looked at his three friends with an expectant expression.

"How is it? Only one day has passed, and your complexions have improved so much, and you look more confident. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Don't even mention it! I really have to thank you this time! Spending those twenty-four thousand merit points wasn't a waste at all!"

"I watched that teaching session, and I actually gained new insights into the Vajra Fist!"

"In just one day, I've made obvious progress. I believe that in less than half a year, I'll be able to completely master the Vajra Fist!"

A burly man with solid muscles trembled with excitement as he spoke.

"Yeah, yeah, that Outer Sect teaching video is too powerful!"

"When I was watching it, it felt just okay, but when I actually practiced according to his methods, the results were frighteningly good!"

"Back when I was in the Outer Sect, I spent three years without even touching the threshold; every time, I felt like I was just a little bit short!"

"In the end, I even spent a fortune hiring someone to guide me, but it didn't help at all, so I had to give up."

"I thought I'd never be able to Cultivate the Vajra Fist in this lifetime, but I didn't expect..."

A refined-looking young man holding a long sword spoke with a face full of sighing emotion.

"I also think this teaching video is miraculous. Just one day allowed me to touch the threshold of the Vajra Fist."

"As long as I keep practicing like this, I think in half a year at most, I can reach the entry level of the Vajra Fist!"

"Unfortunately, that teaching only includes the Body Tempering Scroll and the Innate Chapter, not the Foundation Establishment Scroll... Sigh, that's normal, though. After all, it's a teaching video recorded for Outer Sect Disciples. Who would have thought that we Inner Sect Disciples would also go and exchange for it?"

"And I heard from Xu Wei that the person who recorded the video is currently an Outer Sect Disciple who has only cultivated up to the Innate Chapter himself..."

A thin young man dressed in black said with a helpless expression.

Hearing this, the burly youth and the refined youth both nodded in agreement, their faces filled with helplessness.

They were all Foundation Establishment Martial Artists.

The Innate Chapter of the Vajra Fist was naturally not enough for them.

Seeing this, Xu Wei couldn't help but smile, patted their shoulders, and said:

"You guys are thinking about it the wrong way. Once you've mastered the Innate Chapter of the Vajra Fist, it doesn't mean you won't be able to comprehend the Foundation Establishment Scroll."

"After all, they are connected. With a foundation and following the same logic to Cultivate, you'll definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the three men lit up.

"Xu Wei has a point. It's the same Martial Skill, so the cultivation logic must be roughly the same. Once the Innate Chapter of the Vajra Fist is mastered, we can indeed try the Foundation Establishment Scroll!"

"That's true. If I can master the Foundation Establishment Scroll of the Vajra Fist, my strength will increase by at least twenty to thirty percent!"

"Indeed! It seems I need to go into seclusion for the next few days!"

"Once the Martial Skill reaches the entry level, it'll be faster from then on. Cultivating the Foundation Establishment Scroll isn't too far off!"

"Damn! I'm done chatting with you guys! I'm going back to Cultivate!"

The burly youth didn't say another word and took off running.

His talent was limited, and he was still quite far from ascending to the Extraordinary realm. If he wanted to increase his strength, he could only start with Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.

Unfortunately, his Comprehension Ability wasn't great either, and he could only comprehend Second-rate Martial Skills.

If he could now comprehend the First-rate Martial Skill, Vajra Fist, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly. Naturally, he had to work hard!

"Senior Brother Lei, wait for me! Your Immortal Cave has a better environment; I want to do Dual Cultivation with you~" the thin youth hurriedly chased after him.

"To hell with you! Get lost! I only do Dual Cultivation with beautiful Senior Sisters!"

"Haha, count me in too. If we do triple cultivation, maybe it won't be so awkward?"

"Besides, we can exchange insights. What do you guys think?" The refined youth also gave chase.

Hearing this, the burly youth stopped in his tracks and began to think seriously:

"What you're saying isn't without merit..."

"I agree!" The thin youth agreed with both hands and feet raised.

Xu Wei: "?"

In what strange direction was the plot developing?

Soon, Xu Wei seemed to think of something and quickly shouted at their retreating backs:

"The Outer Sect's Innate Art was also recorded by that Junior Brother. You can exchange for it and try cultivating it."

"If it's just as effective, then that would truly be a Heaven-Defying change of fate!"

"A Cultivation Technique not only boosts strength but can even feed back into oneself and improve potential."

"After cultivating the Innate Art, maybe there'll be more hope of ascending to the Extraordinary realm in the future!"

Hearing this, the three men's bodies jolted, and they immediately turned around!

"I'm going to exchange for it right now!"

"Me too!"

"Damn, I'm out of merit points. Can you guys lend me some?"

"Lend you what? Just pay with Spirit Stones. As a Talisman Maker, how could you be short on Spirit Stones?"

Arguing as they went, the three quickly headed toward the Outer Sect.

Watching the three figures gradually disappear, Xu Wei smiled slightly and muttered to himself:

"Junior Brother Mo, this is the most I can help you."

"Your teaching is truly amazing."

"More importantly, it's just as effective for others!"

"I've already helped spread the news for you. What kind of result it achieves will depend on fate."

"But even if it only becomes slightly popular, you definitely won't be short of Spirit Stones in the future..."

Thinking this, Xu Wei happily walked back toward his Immortal Cave.

He also needed to work hard on cultivating the Vajra Fist!

Yes, Xu Wei had also touched the threshold, and it was the kind where he clearly felt he could master it.

After returning from the last herb-gathering mission, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up, so he continued to ponder the Vajra Fist for a while after coming back.

At first, he lamented that his talent was still a bit lacking, making it impossible to master, or requiring too much time, which wouldn't be worth the effort.

But after pondering it a few more times and repeatedly chewing over what Mo Fan had said that day, he suddenly understood and gained a deeper level of insight into the Vajra Fist.

As long as he worked hard, he could master it in half a year at most!

Feeling that this cultivation method was so miraculous, he signed up immediately when the teaching videos in the Scripture Hall were being updated.

He tried his best to recreate what Mo Fan had taught that day and took the time to record a teaching video.

He felt that Mo Fan's teaching was so miraculous that it would definitely be selected.

When that time came, he might be able to make a big profit!

However, to his surprise, the video he recorded was rejected... With doubt and unwillingness, he used his connections and spent a great price to finally find out who the selected person was.

He wanted to see exactly who had a deeper understanding of the Vajra Fist than Mo Fan!

But when he saw the name of the video recorder, he immediately felt terrible.

Ultimately, he felt ashamed.

"I actually had the audacity to try and make money using someone else's results?!"

It was precisely out of guilt that Xu Wei did what he was doing now, in order to ease the sense of guilt in his heart.

"As for the Innate Art, there's no rush for now. I'll wait until I have Spirit Stones or merit points..."

Xu Wei wanted to cry but had no tears.

He was just too poor!

...Outer Sect.

Mo Fan happily withdrew his Starry Sea martial dao foundation embryo.

He had just tried it out, and it could indeed be used to smash people.

It was very solid and didn't break easily.

Of course, that wasn't the point.

The point was that after summoning the martial dao foundation embryo, his strength would increase significantly, surging instantly!

"This can be considered a trump card, adding a little bit more to my survival ability—"

Mo Fan stood up and began to think seriously.

"I've already established my foundation. Once I finish refining this batch of Materials, I can go to the Trial Tower. It should take about five more days—"

He was a bit of a perfectionist.

If he didn't use up the Materials he bought, he'd feel a bit uncomfortable.

He felt that this might affect his performance in the Trial Tower, so it was better to finish refining them first; after all, it would only be a few days.

At the same time, he could use this period to digest his surging cultivation.

After all, with the Red-Clothed Female Ghost around, digestion was very fast.

Thinking of something, Mo Fan frowned slightly.

But soon, he shook his head again.

"Starting from when I entered the Menial Service Yard in September, it's been almost three months now. Counting the time, it's been almost half a year since I came to Yuxu Academy."

"While advancing from Body Tempering to Foundation Establishment in half a year is a bit excessive, it's not like such geniuses haven't existed in history."

"Yingying is already so young and has already ascended to the Extraordinary realm, which has already refreshed their worldviews once."

"If I show myself to be a bit outstanding now, it probably won't be much, it's just—"

After a moment of deliberation, Mo Fan made a decision.

"Before that, it seems I can first give Liu Xiyan a heads-up?"

After spending time together, Mo Fan trusted Liu Xiyan quite a bit.

With such a backer around.

He wouldn't have to worry so much.

Thinking this, he let out a breath, focused his mind to connect to the virtual panel, and glanced at his attribute panel.

"If nothing goes wrong, after successfully establishing my foundation, there should be another surprise..."

[Name: Mo Fan]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment First Level (+)]

[Cultivation Technique: Innate Art, Breath Concealment Art, Sword Nurturing Art (Complete Version) (Entry)]

[Martial Skill: Vajra Fist - Innate Chapter, Golden Body Art (Second Layer)]

[Special Ability: Alchemy (Minor Success)]

[Storage Space: 100 cubic meters (+)]

[Available attribute points: 80]

Glancing over it, Mo Fan smiled.

"Just as I expected."

His cultivation was already at the Foundation Establishment First Level.

The available attribute points were a pitiful 80 points.

Of course, none of these were the point!

The point was the Golden Body Art!

It had indeed broken through along with him!

After the Golden Body Art broke through, as long as he practiced for a while facing the morning sun, his physical fitness would significantly improve and reach another level.

At that time, his strength would reach a whole new level!
