Foundation building of the divine path, self-proving as a god

Lin Yuan suppressed the agitation in his heart, and when he looked at the spiritual materials before him again, the feeling was completely different.

He reached out his hand, his movements flowing like clouds and water.

He opened his mouth and exhaled.

A wisp of deep blue flame emerged, falling precisely into the Pill Furnace, dancing joyfully.

With a flick of his finger, one spiritual material after another was tossed into the Pill Furnace in a certain mysterious order.

Under the perfect mastery of Fourth-Grade Alchemy and the Fourth-Level Fire Control Art, the power of the Earth Core Nether Fire was unleashed to its limit.

The essence of the spiritual materials was perfectly extracted, without a single shred of waste.

Time flowed slowly in the quiet stone room.

About half a day later.

A sharp light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Open!"

With a low shout.

The lid of the Pill Furnace flew off in response, and nine streaks of light rushed out, carrying a medicinal fragrance so rich it could not be dissolved, hovering before him.

The nine Medicinal Pills were each round and flawless, crystalline throughout, with spiritual light seemingly circulating within.

"Three High Grade, six supreme grade!"

A trace of irrepressible joy appeared in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He did not rest, immediately beginning to refine the second batch.

Seven days passed in a flash.

When the last batch of Medicinal Pills was finished, Lin Yuan's aged face was full of exhaustion, but deep within his sunken eyes, a scorching flame burned.

Twelve batches of foundation establishment pill were all completed.

Before him lay seventy-two supreme grade foundation establishment pill and thirty-six High Grade foundation establishment pill.

One must know, for an ordinary Disciple to exhaust their entire fortune just to obtain a single Low Grade foundation establishment pill is already extremely difficult.

Xue Linglong had once exhausted her entire fortune to exchange for only a single High Grade foundation establishment pill.

Lin Yuan did not immediately begin Foundation Establishment, instead collapsing to sleep.

For a full day and night, he adjusted his essence, Qi, and spirit to the absolute Peak state.

After waking, he took out the "Taixu Sword Art" again, carefully studying the techniques regarding Divine Dao Foundation Establishment within it.

Ordinary Cultivators at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, who ingest Medicinal Pills, walk the path of Human Dao Foundation Establishment.

Those with exceptional Aptitude can attempt Earth Dao Foundation Establishment.

Only the elite Geniuses dare to hope for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

And he, at the Twelfth Layer of Qi Refining, intends to walk the path of Divine Dao Foundation Establishment, which transcends the Heavenly Dao!

Once this path is successfully completed, he will be invincible among his peers.

But its difficulty is also unimaginably immense.

Coupled with the trashy Low-Grade Spiritual Root of this body...

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, banishing all distracting thoughts.

He picked up a supreme grade foundation establishment pill and, without a shred of hesitation, swallowed it directly.

Boom!

A torrent of Spiritual Qi, massive and terrifying, exploded within his Dantian and Qi Sea.

This power was more than ten times purer and more vast than any Medicinal Pill he had consumed before!

Lin Yuan immediately circulated the technique for Divine Dao Foundation Establishment, guiding this power to assault that invisible barrier.

Time passed.

One day later, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a trace of helplessness flashing in the depths of his gaze.

The medicinal power of one supreme grade foundation establishment pill had been completely consumed.

Yet that barrier was as solid as if cast from divine iron, not moving in the slightest.

"Again!"

He did not lose heart, picking up another Medicinal Pill and swallowing it.

One month passed quietly in dull, bitter cultivation.

In the room, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes; those pupils were filled with loneliness and unwillingness.

The Jade Bottle before him was more than half empty.

In this month, he had refined a full sixty-two supreme grade foundation establishment pill!

From one at a time in the beginning, to two at a time later, and now, he could withstand the impact of three Medicinal Pills at once.

Yet the feeling of Foundation Establishment, that feeling of piercing through a window pane, had never appeared.

"Could it be... that it truly won't work?"

Lin Yuan even began to doubt whether this Divine Dao Foundation Establishment was simply an unattainable scam.

Sixty-three supreme grade foundation establishment pill!

This amount of resources, if given to those Disciples with decent Aptitude, would be enough to create sixty-three Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

Yet, thrown into his bottomless pit, it hadn't even stirred up a single splash.

Lin Yuan's gaze fell upon the last nine remaining supreme grade foundation establishment pill before him.

His eyes became frantic in an instant.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, reached out to grab five of them, and stuffed them into his mouth in one go!

That wasn't the end!

He reached back and took out that palm-sized piece of heavenly heart jade marrow.

This supreme treasure, capable of allowing several people to safely undergo Foundation Establishment, was now his last hope.

"Success or failure hinges on this one move!"

Lin Yuan bit down hard on the heavenly heart jade marrow, taking a large bite, and swallowed it directly.

The moment the heavenly heart jade marrow entered his stomach, a cool and transparent Concept instantly cleansed his Divine Soul.

Immediately following, the medicinal power of the five foundation establishment pill completely detonated within his body!

Lin Yuan's body trembled violently.

He felt that the indestructible barrier finally showed a trace of loosening!

"It's here!"

His eyes erupted with a light of wild joy, and he tossed the bitten heavenly heart jade marrow aside, immediately sitting cross-legged and gathering all his focus.

Boom!

The aura within his body began to climb frantically!

Foundation Establishment is the beginning of the Great Dao; Human Dao Foundation Establishment is the Foundation of the mundane, Earth Dao Foundation Establishment is the power of mountains, rivers, and earth veins, while Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is to invoke a trace of the Heavenly Dao Law.

And what Lin Yuan intends to walk is Divine Dao Foundation Establishment.

"Boom!"

The aura within his body completely detonated at this moment!

That indestructible barrier, under the combined internal and external assault of the five supreme grade foundation establishment pill and the heavenly heart jade marrow, finally let out a groan of unbearable burden, splitting open a tiny, barely perceptible crack.

Now is the time!

Lin Yuan gathered all his focus, guiding that terrifying torrent of Spiritual Qi, which was enough to burst the Dantian of an ordinary Cultivator, toward that crack to launch the final, all-out assault.

On his aged face, his skin began to tighten visibly to the naked eye, and the deep wrinkles were being slowly smoothed out by a force of new life.

Deep within his originally murky eyes, divine light began to re-condense, becoming clear.

At the roots of his sparse, gray, messy hair, a touch of black was stubbornly growing out.

The agonizing pain of breaking out of the cocoon to become a butterfly intertwined with the wild joy of rebirth deep within his Divine Soul.

And at this very instant, the sky above the entire Yin Corpse Sect changed.

"Boom!"

Above the clear sky, wind and clouds rose suddenly.

Above Hundred Herbs Peak, the clear, cloudless sky was now filled with endless Spiritual Qi frantically gathering from all directions, and in a moment, it condensed above Lin Yuan's small courtyard into a Spiritual Qi vortex so huge it blotted out the sky.

The scorching sun was in the sky, but its light suddenly dimmed.

A cold, silver moon appeared without warning on the other side of the firmament, facing the scorching sun from afar.

The sun and moon shone together!

Immediately following, one, two, hundreds, and thousands of stars pierced through the curtain of daylight, appearing on the firmament and blooming with brilliant light.

Ten thousand stars came to pay homage!

Divine Dao Foundation Establishment does not invoke the will of heaven, but commands heaven and earth, self-proving as a god!

Beneath the Spiritual Qi vortex, a phantom figure that stood between heaven and earth slowly appeared; the features of the figure were not clear, but if one knew Lin Yuan, they would certainly be able to recognize that it was Lin Yuan.

"My Dao is that of a God! This realm of heaven and earth shall celebrate!"

Great sound is silent; a vast, ethereal voice came from above the sky, resounding directly in the depths of the Divine Soul of every living being in the Yin Corpse Sect.
