Super Invincible Immortal Doctor-Chapter 377: Stepping into Foundation Establishment Realm_1
Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Stepping into Foundation Establishment Realm_1
Su Chengyu docked the speedboat at the edge of the island and walked onto it directly. Since he had chosen to face the tribulation here, he must first ascertain whether the island was safe. He probed with his Divine Sense, taking an hour to fully understand the situation on the island.
The natural spiritual energy on this island was not bad, there were no wild beasts, and it was extremely desolate. Only some seabirds inhabited this lonely island.
Su Chengyu walked to the center of the island, bare all around. He set up an array barrier around the perimeter. By the time he finished, the sun was rising precisely over the horizon.
Su Chengyu faced the sea, exhaled a turbid breath, immediately sat cross-legged, absorbed the spiritual energy of nature, and then prepared to start breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Xu Nanzhi woke up early to find herself alone. She immediately noticed the note and elixir on the bedside table.
"Nan Zhi, forgive my unexpected departure. I fear that your persuasion and pleas would cause me to lose the courage to break through the realm and face the heavenly tribulation. But I had no choice. Only by breaking through the realm can I refine the elixir that will completely solve your health problems. Otherwise, your body won’t hold on for much longer."
"Only by breaking through the realm can I have a chance to resurrect Chu Xue. Xiaoxiao’s disappearance and the death of Chu Xue and Yuan Cang have made me understand how important the people around me are. Having lost Xiaoxiao and Chu Xue, and now risking losing you, there wouldn’t be any meaning in living even if I manage to survive."
"Whether for myself or for you, I must become stronger, I must enter a new realm. Our journey over these past days was probably the happiest time of my life, and I think it must have been the same for you."
Su Chengyu wrote nearly a thousand words, pouring his true thoughts and fervent feelings onto the paper.
Plop!
Xu Nanzhi’s tears fell on the note, she carefully collected it.
In fact, since Su Chengyu had proposed to accompany her on a trip, Xu Nanzhi had a premonition that he would venture to face the tribulation upon returning. As the one closest to him, Xu Nanzhi knew Su Chengyu too well.
Though he was somewhat fickle, deep down he was a stubborn man with a sense of responsibility. Faced with enormous pressure at the moment, he had no choice but to make such a decision.
"I will wait for you to come back, and I believe that you will definitely come back successfully."
Xu Nanzhi wiped away her tears, looking forward with expectation, waiting for Su Chengyu’s return.
Su Chengyu’s Mana whirlpool in his Dantian was now larger than a fist. Most cultivators at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage have a Mana whirlpool about the size of a fist, but Su Chengyu’s was more than twice that size.
This was also related to his talents and the spell he was practicing. To break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Mana whirlpool had to be condensed into a Mana spring, transforming Qi into water. This process required the whirlpool to be continuously compressed, to its utmost limit, causing a qualitative change.
Now with the aid of the Xuanling Pill, the process was much more straightforward than struggling through the breakthrough. The medicinal power of the Xuanling Pill took effect, inducing the Mana whirlpool to rotate rapidly.
Su Chengyu also quickly used the Grand Supreme Taoist Scripture to compress the Mana whirlpool, condensing it into a drop of Mana spring, suspended in his Dantian.
This tiny drop of Mana spring contained Mana several times that of the Mana whirlpool. As the Mana spring was successfully condensed, a door seemed to open in Su Chengyu’s mind, his Divine Sense rolled in, officially entering the Domain of Consciousness.
Condensing the Mana whirlpool into Mana spring and unlocking the Domain of Consciousness were the two major advancements in entering the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The so-called Domain of Consciousness was a treasure hidden within the body of a cultivator. Having opened the Domain of Consciousness, one could cultivate a Primordial Spirit.
As long as the Primordial Spirit was not destroyed, even if the physical body was ruined and the Golden Core shattered, the cultivator would not die and could seize another body to be reborn, or recreate a physical body to resurrect.
The Grand Supreme Taoist Scripture contained detailed descriptions of the Domain of Consciousness, and Su Chengyu had long mastered it. As his Divine Sense entered the Domain of Consciousness, he could see a mysterious space with the sun and the moon coexisting. Above, a hot sun was hanging high, and a bright moon was like a tray.
Under this sun and moon were mountains, rivers, and hills. Five tall hills of different heights stood tall, reaching into the clouds. Below were rivers that rushed non-stop.
According to the Grand Supreme Taoist Scripture, the sun and the moon in the Domain of Consciousness represented the eyes of a person, while the mountains, rivers, and hills represented the five internal organs and six bowels. The Domain of Consciousness was a secret treasure of the human body.
Su Chengyu withdrew his Divine Sense from the Domain of Consciousness, his eyes suddenly opened. Night had fallen, the sky was full of stars. In Su Chengyu’s eyes flashed a golden glow, his pupils turned gold. Wherever his gaze landed, even hundreds of meters away, he could see ants crawling.
His Divine Sense had also become much stronger, able to cover half of the island. With a single thought of his Divine Sense, he caught a seabird resting on a tree and brought it to him.
The seabird was caught by an invisible Divine Sense, unable to move, and emitted a mournful cry from its mouth.
Su Chengyu made a gesture with his right hand, and the Dragon Slayer Sword flew out from his storage bag. Infusing it with Divine Sense, the sword light of the Dragon Slayer Sword flourished and with a whoosh, it flew out.
After stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Divine Sense could manipulate magic artifacts. Originally, his Divine Sense could only fetch items through the air and could not control magic artifacts.
Now with a movement of his Divine Sense, he could control the flying sword. From a thousand meters away, the flying sword could behead a person.
"Come back!"
Su Chengyu had a thought, and the Dragon Slayer Sword flew back to his side, vibrating gently in front of him. Another major change after entering the Foundation Establishment Realm was that he could practice Sword Control Technique.
The Sword Control Technique required the cooperation of Divine Sense and Mana, allowing one to control the flight of the sword freely.
Su Chengyu didn’t have the heart to practice Sword Control Technique right now. As soon as he entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had a premonition that the Heavenly Tribulation was coming.
He took back the Dragon Slayer Sword and stuck it by his side, looking up at the sky. The originally clear night sky showed no signs of clouds with myriad of stars woven together.
At this moment, above Su Chengyu’s head, the winds and clouds changed drastically, and a cloud of tribulation gradually formed.
The onset of Heavenly Tribulation would be accompanied by the birth of tribulation clouds. Su Chengyu looked up at these ever-changing tribulation clouds, within which lightning was flickering. The sight was quite frightening.
"Heavenly Tribulation, it’s finally coming."
The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Tribulation had three lightning tribulations. The first lightning tribulation was the weakest. However, even this weakest lightning tribulation was incredibly destructive. Many fell to even the first lightning tribulation, instantly vanishing to ashes.
Su Chengyu pulled out Ao Tian’s True Dragon Reverse Scale, infused it with mana, the True Dragon Reverse Scale shone with a bright cyan light, transforming into a dragon scale armor that covered his body.
The tribulation cloud above his head had already formed. In the tribulation cloud, the power of lightning flickered. Su Chengyu had never encountered such terrifying lightning in his life. The thunder rolling in the sky was like the rumbling of thousands of chariots, causing the myriad of birds on the island to scatter in fear.
"Foundation Establishment Heavenly Tribulation, come!"
Su Chengyu beckoned with his hand, the Dragon Slayer Sword fell into his hand, the sword light ebbed and flowed. In the middle of the tribulation cloud, a vortex appeared. Immediately, a bolt of white lightning fell from the tribulation cloud, striking towards Su Chengyu at the center of the island.
