"Yang Fei, we feel that our own realm has reached completion, and continuing to cultivate has no substantial improvement. We feel an urgent need to break through, but after discussing it, we found no direction for breakthrough and don't know how to proceed."
Wang Chunyang humbly explained his and Helian Zhan's situation to Yang Fei, seeking advice on the breakthrough method.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang both succeeded in foundation establishment and even attracted a heavenly tribulation for body tempering.
According to their understanding, since Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang met the conditions for breakthrough, they should naturally surpass the Foundation Establishment Stage and become Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But right now, both of them are in a state where they have met the Foundation Establishment conditions yet are restrained by an invisible shackle. Unless they break through that invisible shackle, they remain below the Foundation Establishment Stage.
According to the cultivation world, this is considered stopping at the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage.
Yang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Have you used True Qi to temper your muscles, bones, and acupoints around the body?"
Both looked puzzled and shook their heads.
Yang Fei nodded. When he established the foundation, it was because he used strong True Qi to constantly grind his muscles, bones, and acupoints during regular cultivation. Once all the meridians and acupoints were completely honed, his body felt like it was reborn, evolving and improving, with a surge in strength and speed, and the defense was also astonishing.
He had told Qin Yanyang about this and some close people, but Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang, who were not on good terms with him before, were unaware.
Now that these two are at a state where they can cross the Foundation Establishment threshold at any time, Yang Fei recalled the memories extracted from the sea of consciousness of some people from the Lingxiao Sect and knew that this state is common in the cultivation world. They had met the Foundation Establishment conditions and could establish a foundation.
But how to proceed gradually, he was unsure.
He moved his divine sense and transmitted it to Ye Wuya.
Soon, Ye Wuya appeared.
Seeing the state of Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang, Ye Wuya exclaimed, "Both of you are progressing rapidly, reaching the peak of Qi Refinement so quickly. Your talents are indeed extraordinary."
Both were very respectful to Ye Wuya, a strong Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lingxiao Sect. They cupped their hands and said, "We've been stuck in this state for several days, feeling that we could break through further, but lack the method to do so. We're here to seek guidance from you."
Yang Fei also said to Ye Wuya, "Brother Ye, Yanyang and I naturally progressed when we established the foundation. Our strength reached that point, leading to a lightning tribulation tempering, and we naturally crossed the tribulation, but..."
"What? You attracted a lightning tribulation as soon as you reached the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
Ye Wuya was greatly surprised and interrupted Yang Fei.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang looked confused and nodded in response to Ye Wuya's alarmed confirmation glance.
Yang Fei pointed at Qin Yanyang and said, "When my wife established the foundation, a large cloud of thunder suddenly gathered in the sky and struck her several times."
"Several times?" Ye Wuya took a deep breath and asked in shock.
Yang Fei thought for a moment and shook his head, "I can't remember, is there a saying about this?"
Ye Wuya asked Qin Yanyang, "Do you remember?"
Qin Yanyang thought for a moment and said, "It seemed like nine times."
Ye Wuya gasped, muttering to himself, "Nine times of heavenly tribulation? This... how is it possible? Although breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage is a crucial step into the cultivation realm, such a situation shouldn't attract lightning tempering. How can the Foundation Establishment Stage be qualified to lead the Heavenly Dao to descend with a tribulation?"
Everyone listened to his muttering with expressions of shock, also startled by his words.
Yang Fei swallowed and asked, "Isn't lightning tempering necessary for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
Ye Wuya shook his head.
He took a deep breath, stared at Qin Yanyang for a while, and then turned to look at Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang.
After a moment, he said with a puzzled expression, "The cultivation of your world seems somewhat unique. It's clearly a low martial world, but once one reaches the Divine Travel Realm, it's like transitioning to a medium martial world. No, the Divine Travel Realm lets you open the sea of consciousness space, allowing you to possess divine sense, something only cultivators can achieve. Normally, only in the middle and late stages of the Qi Refinement can one cultivate a divine sense, but you are practicing martial arts, yet you can also cultivate divine sense... No, your cultivation state is different from the initial stages of the cultivation world. I've never seen it before."
Everyone was speechless after hearing his monologue.
Yang Fei directly asked, "Brother Ye, given their situation, how can they break through? How do people in the cultivation world establish the foundation?"
Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang looked at Ye Wuya expectantly.
Ye Wuya's mouth twitched and said, "Foundation Establishment is a crucial first step in the cultivation world. If successful, one's lifespan can reach three hundred, truly transcending the ordinary, unrelated to mortals. Therefore, Foundation Establishment is very difficult no matter how high your talent may be; if you can't withstand the infusion of Heavenly Dao Immortal Power, it will fail. Therefore, in the cultivation world, to increase the chance of successfully establishing a foundation, they often refine Foundation Establishment Pills. With a Foundation Establishment Pill, a cultivator's body can better align with Heavenly Dao Immortal Power, making it easier to complete a realm breakthrough."
"Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Everyone was surprised, not expecting that pills were required.
Yang Fei asked puzzled, "My wife and I didn't take any so-called Foundation Establishment Pills."
Ye Wuya sighed, "That's why I don't quite understand your kind of cultivation. However, even without Foundation Establishment Pills, some can successfully establish foundations, although the success rate is relatively lower."
Helian Zhan couldn't help asking, "Do any of the Lingxiao Sect members have Foundation Establishment Pills? Brother Wang and I can purchase them."
Ye Wuya smiled bitterly, "Although Foundation Establishment Pills are not some rare treasure in the cultivation world, they are also hard to acquire. When we established our foundation, it was through countless sect missions, spending large amounts of spirit stones and heavenly materials and treasures in exchange, along with the support and protection from sect masters, that we obtained them. For loose cultivators, many may never be able to purchase an authentic Foundation Establishment Pill in their lifetime."
"Is it that difficult?" Qin Yanyang couldn't help but be moved.
Ye Wuya sighed, "Cultivation is like defying fate, so it is extremely difficult."
Everyone gained some understanding of this and nodded silently.
"Could you tell us the Foundation Establishment Technique? Since Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang successfully established the foundation without Foundation Establishment Pills, Brother Wang and I want to try too," Helian Zhan asked.
Ye Wuya said, "The Foundation Establishment Technique is simple; I can tell you. However..."
He paused before continuing, "But Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang's situation seems different from yours. Oh, by the way, Brother Yang, how did you establish the foundation?"
Yang Fei then explained his method of tempering acupoints, bones, and meridians.
Ye Wuya was surprised, "This method does indeed enhance body strength, so during Foundation Establishment, one can better withstand the infusion and tempering of Heavenly Dao power."
He said to Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang, "You might as well first try Yang's method to hone your body, muscles, and acupoints first, then attempt the Foundation Establishment. Doing so may increase the success rate by one or two percent."
Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang were tempted but also unwilling.
They felt they had met the conditions for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and didn't want to wait any longer.
Wang Chunyang suddenly asked, "If the Foundation Establishment fails, do we die?"
Ye Wuya shook his head, "No, although there is some danger, it is not likely to be fatal. But once Foundation Establishment fails, the Dao Heart suffers a huge blow, and the strength realm will fall by a portion, making future Foundation Establishment even harder."
Wang Chunyang's eyes flashed with determination, "The Great Dao is contested, I don't want to waste more time waiting, please, Brother Ye, tell me the Foundation Establishment technique."
Helian Zhan also nodded, "Yes, since there are people in the cultivation world who can successfully establish a foundation without relying on Foundation Establishment Pills, I, Helian Zhan, also want to give it a try."
Ye Wuya looked at them with shock, feeling that these two were too crazy and beyond his comprehension.
He could sense that these two were not very old; even in the vast cultivation world, they would be considered cultivators with quite the talent foundation. Why rush at this moment?
However, he saw the resolve in their eyes to establish the foundation, even feeling the overpowering confidence that they could definitely succeed emanating from them.
