Chapter 128: Building the Foundation (Part 2)

Under Su Ming's solemn gaze, a large amount of surging spiritual energy formed a vortex, completely enveloping Zhou Xun's body.

Through the perception of his spiritual consciousness, Su Ming could clearly see the whole process of Zhou Xun's body being continuously damaged by the large amount of spiritual energy, and then being continuously healed and strengthened.

At this time, Zhou Xu's face was distorted, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He looked like he was suffering from great pain.

As time passed, and I don't know how many days had passed, the pores of Zhou Xun's body slowly discharged some black and gray impurities, and a faint stench filled the cave.

Smelling this faint fishy smell, Su Ming's eyes flashed with joy.

Wash the tendons and cut the marrow!

The emergence of this phenomenon means that Zhou Xun's physical body has reached the final stage. As long as he survives the final physical transformation, the "spiritual energy filling" will be over.

Under Su Ming's spiritual perception, Zhou Xun's somewhat dark skin began to turn whiter, his face became younger and younger, and the essence of life began to gradually complete its transformation, as if he was rejuvenating himself.

When Zhou Xun's face turned red and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of smelly black blood, the surging spiritual energy surrounding his body gradually dissipated.

The body passes!

Seeing this scene, Su Ming's eyes were filled with joy.

The most dangerous level has passed. As long as Zhou Xun can pass the level of spiritual consciousness and control the liquid mana in his body to run the exercises for thirty-six small days, he can stabilize the foundation-building stage and begin the final transformation of his spiritual consciousness.

Not giving much time to Zhou Xun, who had just passed through the physical barrier, Su Ming could feel the foundation-building spiritual pressure starting to stir in the cave even without using his spiritual consciousness.

The final level has begun!

"Senior brother, please don't betray the trust between me and fellow Taoist Zhou Yu..."

Su Ming thought silently in his heart as he looked at Zhou Xun, who had a solemn expression and began to control the liquid mana in his body to carry little Zhou Tian with difficulty according to the exercises.

This level can only be overcome by Zhou Xun himself. Even if Su Ming gives the soul nourishing liquid to the other party, it will be of no use.

Zhou Xun's spiritual consciousness is not weak in the first place. The only problem is whether the knot in his heart about his brother's death can really be resolved.

The Divine Consciousness Pass is the most dangerous. Because of the transformation of the Divine Consciousness, the monk's mind will become extremely sharp during this period. If the Taoist heart is not firm enough and is affected by distracting thoughts, it will inevitably be unable to complete the small cycle of the body.

The final outcome is that the liquid mana cannot return to the mana lake for a long time, and turns into gaseous mana again. The violent mana is completely out of control, and the final breakthrough fails.

Although Zhou Xun has the Foundation Establishment Pill to protect him, he does not need to worry about his own death, but he has reached this final step, and it would be a pity if his efforts fall short.

As time passed, the expression on Zhou Xun's face changed again and again, and finally turned into calm, without sadness or joy.

"After fifty years of being confused, you now know who I am."

The sound of relief echoed in the cave, Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes, smiled and nodded to Su Ming who had already stood up.

At this time, Zhou Xun's magic power had completely converged, giving Su Ming an unfathomable feeling.

Divine consciousness passes!

Zhou Xun successfully built the foundation!

"Hahaha, junior brother, I would like to congratulate my senior brother for resuming the immortal path and successfully advancing to the foundation building stage!"

With a smile on his face and a voice full of joy, Su Ming raised his hand in front of Zhou Xun and congratulated him.

The two had known each other for so many years, and Su Ming was the happiest today. If Zhou Xun hadn't needed to consolidate his realm, he would have wanted to get drunk with him right now.

"Senior brother is lucky enough to resume his path today. It's all thanks to you, junior brother..."

"Please give me a bow, Brother Shou!"

After saying this, Zhou Xun stood up, bent down, raised his hands and bowed solemnly towards Su Ming.

Su Ming originally wanted to stop the other party, but with his cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, how could he stop a Foundation Establishment Stage monk from insisting on saluting, so he had no choice but to accept the salute.

"Senior brother, don't try to hurt me, please hurry up and consolidate your cultivation during the foundation building period!"

Su Ming recalled the time and found that it only took two months for Zhou Xun to break through the foundation building period, which was still one year away from the cave's maximum period. The remaining time was enough for him to continue to retreat and break through.

"Hahaha, after junior brother you break through the foundation building stage, I will definitely have a good drink!"

Zhou Xun laughed loudly, his expression no longer solemn, and returned to his usual smiling look. He sat cross-legged on the futon again, closed his eyes and began to consolidate his cultivation.

...

Time passes, and a month passes quietly.

One early morning, the stone door of Jiazi Cave Mansion slowly opened with a "bang".

A middle-aged man with black hair who looked to be in his thirties slowly walked out of Cave No. 3.

This movement naturally alerted the disciples guarding the Xuansu Peak Cave, and they quickly made the light fly towards this side.

After seeing Zhou Xun walking out of the cave, the disciples who had been stationed here all year round immediately felt the unfathomable spiritual pressure on him and hurriedly raised their hands and saluted:

"Disciple congratulates Uncle Master for successfully establishing the foundation, and wishes Uncle Master a lasting immortality!"

After hearing the congratulations from the guarding disciple, Zhou Xun felt like he was in another world.

Ever since he left the inner sect in despair, Zhou Xun never dreamed that he could hear other disciples calling him uncle.

This feeling...

Not bad!

After Zhou Xun successfully broke through the foundation building stage, he was naturally in a good mood and nodded to the garrisoned disciples with a smile.

However, unlike other fellow disciples who broke through the foundation-building stage, he did not rush to the Diyuan Hall of Yuquan Peak to register as a foundation-building cultivator. Instead, he waved his hand to blow away the dust at the entrance of the cave, took out a cushion from his storage bag, and sat cross-legged in front of the cave.

Seeing that Zhou Xun did not intend to leave, the garrison disciple showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. As a garrison disciple, he still needed to take back the cave token from the closed-door cultivator.

As if he had guessed what the garrison disciple was thinking, Zhou Xun was not going to embarrass a junior in the Qi Refining Stage, and smiled and said:

"Junior brother has not come out of seclusion yet, and this cave still needs to be used..."

Hearing this, the garrison disciple realized that Zhou Xun and the other person had indeed walked into the No. 3 cave of the letter A together.

One of them seemed to be quite influential. Just by stating his identity, the garrison uncle of the foundation-building master stationed at Xuansu Peak hurriedly arranged the best letter A cave.

Now, Zhou Xun has successfully broken through the foundation-building stage, but the other person is still in the cave.

Seeing the cave formation behind Zhou Xun start again, the garrisoned disciple immediately realized that what Zhou Xu said was true. There was another cultivator in the cave who was breaking through the foundation-building stage.

Although he was full of doubts, whether it was Zhou Xun who had broken through the foundation-building stage or Su Ming who could let the garrisoned uncle arrange the Jia-character cave at this special time period, it was obviously not something that a small garrisoned disciple like him could provoke.

He didn't even dare to ask more, fearing that he would cause trouble. The garrisoned disciple just bowed to Zhou Xun again and left with the magic weapon.

This matter naturally had to be decided by the garrison uncle in charge of the place. He didn't have the courage to ask.

Fang Yuechan's token was obviously extraordinary. The foundation-building cultivator in charge of the cave thought of the golden elixir token in Su Ming's hand, waved his hand and told the garrisoned disciples not to care about the other party. After nine months, he would naturally go to take back the cave token in person.
