283: Humanity produces another master of profound cultivation.

After absorbing the remnant Soul memories of the Fire Element Clone, Lin Chen temporarily left the Ancestral Court Great World and arrived in the Void Realm corresponding to the Human Race Territory.

He was not going to the Void World, but rather searching for the Outer Universe Research Institute hidden within this void.

The Outer Universe Research Institute was the very research institution dedicated to studying outer Universes for the Human Race.

This institute was highly proficient in researching outer Universes; ninety percent of the more than one hundred outer Universes discovered by the Human Race had been located and coordinated by them.

The Xuan Guang Universe, which the Human Race was currently conquering, had also been first discovered and coordinated by the Outer Universe Research Institute.

They had subsequently formulated the initial exploration plans, and it wasn't until a few decades ago that the cosmic portal was fully stabilized, allowing for conquest and becoming the best source of resources during the Human Race's period of isolation.

Professionals do professional work.

Lin Chen entered the institute, found the Dean, Liu Yun, who was at the God Realm, and handed over some information and vague coordinates regarding the Immortal Dao Universe, instructing them to arrange personnel for research.

In addition, Lin Chen left behind a large batch of resources to be used for the specialized research of the Immortal Dao Universe's coordinates.

If you ask people to work, you naturally have to provide compensation.

Even with Lin Chen's status equal to the Foundation Level, if he assigned a task to the institute, they would accept it and strive to complete it.

However, Lin Chen still left behind a large amount of resources as research funding; after all, he was not a bad person, and he wouldn't let people work for him for free, even if the work was also of great help to the Human Race.

After handling the matter of the Immortal Dao Universe's coordinates, Lin Chen returned to the Ancestral Court Great World to continue his seclusion, preparing to condense 100 strands of Dao Source Power as soon as possible and peer into the threshold of the Foundation Level.

Within a radius of a thousand or eight hundred miles, there was likely no matter worth the Main Body of Lin Chen taking action; even if there were matters requiring his involvement, Aura, who was wandering in the void, could handle them on his behalf.

Therefore, Lin Chen could safely remain in seclusion, striving to raise his Realm as soon as possible and accumulate strength for breaking through to the Foundation Level.

Seven years passed in a flash.

Lin Chen was now one hundred and forty-nine years old, and his closed-door cultivation was temporarily interrupted by a major event.

In a hidden location within the Ancestral Court Great World, a Half-Step Foundation Level of the Human Race was in seclusion.

The Incarnations of all fifty-one existing Foundation Level members of the Human Race descended, watching the person in seclusion within the hidden location.

Lin Chen, whose status was equal to the Foundation Level, was also dragged over by Old Deng to watch the birth process of a new Foundation Level.

"The accumulation is sufficient; it seems the Breakthrough will not be a problem."

"Don't jinx it. Prepare to provide a safe environment for the promotion. Currently, we don't have any extra Great Worlds available for Fellow Daoist Frost Condensation to merge with the Dao; she can only ascend within the Universe and merge with the great universe consciousness."

"A place for Attaining the Dao has already been prepared for Fellow Daoist Frost Condensation; we are just waiting for her to be ready to attain the Dao in one go."

After experiencing many years of accumulation and the spiral upward trend of the past few decades, the Human Federation finally welcomed the opportunity for a Breakthrough for those Half-Step Foundation Level members who were already on the verge of breaking through.

Frost Condensation, whose original name was Wang Xue'er, was a practitioner of ice-type rules.

Having cultivated for twenty-nine thousand years and endured many hardships, she was finally ready to Attain the Dao and break through to the Foundation Level.

"Kid, you are not far from the Foundation Level yourself. Since Frost Condensation is breaking through before you, you can see with your own eyes what happens when one Attains the Dao to the Foundation Level, so you won't be completely in the dark about your own future Breakthrough."

"Hehe, I happened to catch it."

"Indeed, you caught it. Before we older generation Foundation Level members broke through, we didn't have such good luck to be able to watch a Fellow Daoist's Breakthrough up close."

Most of the Human Race Foundation Level members who were born before the Federation attained the Dao independently, and before Attaining the Dao, they had no experience from predecessors to use as a reference.

After all, oral descriptions of the process of Attaining the Dao by Foundation Level Seniors were ultimately not as intuitive as seeing the process with one's own eyes.

Lin Chen did not wait long.

Three days later, the Aura of Ice Master Ning Shuang became steady and returned to simplicity, entering her best state.

She opened her eyes, bowed respectfully to the watching Human Race Foundation Level members, then took a step out, left the Ancestral Court Great World, returned to This Universe, and entered the place for Attaining the Dao that the Human Race had built for her—a massive galaxy shrouded in ice-type rules.

The Foundation Level, the pathfinders who step onto the road of rules.

When Attaining the Dao, the more the external environment fits one's own cultivation path, the easier it is to succeed in Attaining the Dao, allowing one to borrow the power of heaven and earth to resist the trials of the heavens.

Attaining the Dao to the Foundation Level naturally carries certain risks, especially when Attaining the Dao in the environment of the great Universe; the great universe consciousness will inevitably appear and give the person Attaining the Dao some trials.

If one cannot pass the trials, the worst outcome is death and the dissipation of the Dao, while the lighter outcome is a regression in Realm, the annihilation of the path of rules, and having to start everything over from the beginning.

Attaining the Dao is the process of ascending from an ordinary creature under the command of the great universe consciousness to a partner of the great universe consciousness.

The great universe consciousness naturally will not give the person Attaining the Dao a good look; it will make things difficult to the maximum extent within the limits of the rules, not wishing for another partner to appear.

If one can successfully pass the trials, the great universe consciousness will be very gratified, happy that it has gained a powerful partner and that it can become stronger itself.

"It has begun. Watch closely; most Foundation Level members in the world go through this promotion process."

Standing next to Old Deng, Lin Chen remained silent, his eyes fixed on Ice Master Ning Shuang as she Attained the Dao, unwilling to miss any detail.

Ice Master Ning Shuang stood on the place for Attaining the Dao, and the Divine Power belonging to the God Rank within her body was completely transformed into Dao Source Power. Subsequently, using Dao Source Power as a medium, she connected with the ice-type rules in heaven and earth, reversing herself into a Body of Rules.

Attaining the Dao first involves the transformation of the energy level of the person Attaining the Dao, turning into the Dao Source Power that only the Foundation Level can freely apply.

Secondly, using Dao Source Power combined with the understood rules, one thoroughly sheds the god body and constructs a new Physical Body with rules.

Finally, using the rule-based Physical Body and Dao Source Power, one stimulates the strength of the Soul. Once the strength reaches the standard, the Soul is released and placed into the great Universe where one is Attaining the Dao, utilizing the great Universe to purify the essence of the Soul.

It is also at this step that the great universe consciousness will appear and give the person Attaining the Dao trials.

After all, the Soul of the person Attaining the Dao being placed into the great Universe is equivalent to inserting a mass of conscious information into the great universe consciousness, which, while strengthening the great universe consciousness, will also pollute and affect it.

At this moment, Ice Master Ning Shuang had already completed the construction of the Dao Source Power and the Body of Rules and was carrying out the final step: placing her Soul into the great universe consciousness.

As a member of the Human Race, Ice Master Ning Shuang could to some extent be exempted from the trials of the great universe consciousness because, before her Soul was placed into the great universe consciousness, it would first combine with human luck and be bound to it.

With human luck as an endorsement, the great universe consciousness would not be too excessive toward Human Race practitioners Attaining the Dao; as long as they were not truly incompetent, they could all successfully pass the trials and promote to the Foundation Level.

It was also at this time that the Galaxy of human luck appeared.

Ice Master Ning Shuang merged her body into the Galaxy of human luck, actively accepting human luck, being marked with the imprint of human luck, and binding herself to it.

When the Galaxy of human luck dissipated, the Incarnation of the great universe consciousness descended, and the real difficulty arrived.

The Incarnation of the great universe consciousness used the image of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

At this time, Ice Master Ning Shuang began to rise as a whole, arriving before the Eye of Heavenly Punishment Incarnation of the great universe consciousness, waiting for the trials to arrive.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment, however, turned its pupil at this moment, looking toward Lin Chen, who was watching quietly in the distance; the eyes, which were originally as calm as an ancient well, showed human-like fluctuations.

It looked like the Big Boss had logged in and taken over the programmed Incarnation.

"Hmm?"

Lin Chen was a bit nervous at this moment; he remembered that back then, he had snatched food from the mouth of the great universe consciousness and directly faced its Incarnation. If the great universe consciousness hadn't let it go, how could he have been able to master the Dao Fall Power?

Fortunately, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment only glanced at Lin Chen without any extra actions, then returned to calm and continued to test Ice Master Ning Shuang.

However, the intensity of the trial could be said to be the weakest in history; Ice Master Ning Shuang passed the trial without doing anything.

Subsequently, Ice Master Ning Shuang merged her whole being into the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, completing the step of placing her Soul into the great universe consciousness, binding her Soul to the great universe consciousness, and elevating her essence to the level of the great universe consciousness.

Thus, Ice Master Ning Shuang's Attaining the Dao concluded.

Her Physical Body, energy, and Soul all stepped into the Foundation Level, and her cultivation naturally reached the Foundation Level.

Thus, the Human Race added another Foundation Level.
