There was a huge gap between Foundation Building and Spiritual Formation. After successfully building a foundation, one's strength and cultivation would be far behind that of a Spiritual Formation cultivator. If his strength increased, even if Ye Guyin had a high-grade Xuan weapon, he could still beat her up like his wife. After all, although she was a half-step to Foundation Building, she had yet to reach Foundation Building and could not unleash the full power of a Xuan weapon.
According to Fang Xing's estimation, that woman could only unleash 30% of the Frightening Phoenix Zither's power.
In a situation where both of them were at Spiritual Formation, this 30% power was an insurmountable gap for him.
However, if he succeeded in building his foundation, he would not have to be afraid of her.
"If I refine this flag, I will indeed have a better chance of reaching Foundation Building …"
Daphne listened, thought for a while, and nodded.
Of course, it was useless even if he did not nod. Once this kid decided on something, he would not be able to interrupt.
"Let me return to your sea of consciousness first and protect you …"
The Great Roc Evil King was in high spirits and recommended himself.
"You only have a wisp of your soul left, how can you protect me?"
Fang Xing looked at Daphne in disdain.
Daphne was furious. "I am a Demon King after all. How dare you look down on me to protect you? "Brat, don't look down on me just because I'm a wisp of true spirit. I have a lot of experience and knowledge in cultivation that you can't compare to. Let me ask you, since you want to reach Foundation Establishment, have you done what you need to do? Have you thought of all the escape routes? Do you have the method to deal with the tribulation? "
Fang Xing was instantly dumbfounded, and said, "Foundation Establishment Pills are still not enough?"
Daphne scoffed. "What a joke. Foundation Building is a major event in cultivation. How can it be settled by a single pill? Although the cultivation methods of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan are different, we have some understanding. In building a foundation, other than the Foundation Building Pill, one also needs to clear one's mind, understand Dao, and cultivate. There are many things to pay attention to. Most importantly, one needs to prepare the method to deal with the tribulation … "
"Deal with the tribulation? What tribulation? "
Daphne said solemnly, "Of course it's the Tao Ordeal!"
"According to legend, cultivation is an act that goes against the heavens, and you're unknowingly subjected to the counterattack of the Heaven Dao. Every time you're at the critical stages of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and so on and so forth, a calamity would descend that would destroy your Dao Foundation and seize your fortune. This is the counterattack of the Heaven Dao, and it's practically impossible to avoid. It's precisely because of this that people that are breaking through would usually find someone to stand guard for them, so as to avoid any mishaps from occurring at the critical moment …"
"So, this calamity is unavoidable?"
Daphne nodded and said, "In theory, it's like that. The Heaven Dao's counterattack can't be avoided or avoided, so one can only face the tribulation!"
It was Fang Xing's first time hearing about this, and he couldn't help but ask in a daze, "Since it can't be avoided, then what's the point of you coming here?"
Daphne said, "This tribulation is invisible, and no one knows what form it will take, or even when it will appear, so it can't be avoided or resolved. However, cultivators are unwilling to face the tribulation, so they'll leave behind a backup plan to face the tribulation. I'm standing guard for you, not to protect you with my great cultivation base … Of course, I don't have any great cultivation base right now … But if I enter your sea of consciousness and watch you build your Foundation, if there's really a tribulation, I can warn you and let you know what method you should use to face the tribulation …"
Hearing his sincerity, Fang Xing could tell that this old bastard really didn't want him to die a miserable death, so he nodded and said seriously, "Thank you for reminding me, Old Heretic, I'm a man who knows what's good for me. If you really want to help me, I won't treat you badly and won't burn you with fire anymore. In the future, when I have a good body, I'll do my best to help you get it back!"
Daphne was a little surprised and happy, and said with a smile, "That's good, but don't forget what you said today!"
"Don't be so long-winded, come in quickly!"
"…"
Fang Xing let Daphne return to his Knowledge Sea, so he wasn't worried that he would try anything funny. After all, he had followed Bai Qianzhang for so long, so he understood some of the principles of cultivation. When he was building his foundation, if Daphne wanted to harm him, he would be able to affect him more if he stayed outside. In his Knowledge Sea, when the True Samadhi Fire was released, Daphne couldn't wait to hide and wouldn't dare to cause trouble at all.
Moreover, he had already signed a contract with him, so before he let him go, he wouldn't dare to harm him.
He stood up and picked out a few useful Dharma treasures. There were layers of restrictions so that not even a drop of water could be seen. There were even a few that were soundproof to prevent Ye Guyin from disturbing his mind with the sound of the zither. He sealed the stone room three times from the inside and outside, so that if there were any accidents, he would be the first to notice it. Only then did Fang Xing sit down, take a deep breath, and take out the Foundation Building Pill.
"B * tch, when I succeed in building my foundation, it's time for you to be unlucky …"
Fang Xing smiled fiercely, and with a flick of his finger, the Foundation-Building Pill flew into his mouth like a jelly bean.
"It's a little sweet …"
As the pill entered his mouth, Fang Xing smacked his lips, and this thought flashed through his mind.
One step into the Foundation-Building Realm, and immortals would be separated forever.
In the cultivation world, there had always been this saying about the Foundation-Building Realm.
The Spiritual Movement Realm was the barrier between mortals and immortals. Only after building the Foundation-Building Realm, could one be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation.
After building the Foundation-Building Realm, not only would the Spiritual Qi transform into a foundation seal, it would be many times stronger than those in the Spiritual Movement Realm. Life force, strength, and speed would also be much stronger. More importantly, after building the Foundation-Building Realm, one would be able to cultivate the divine sense. This was a power that surpassed the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and the five senses of an ordinary person. It belonged to the category of "intent", and was extremely mysterious and had a wide range of uses.
As the Foundation-Building Pill entered Fang Xing's stomach, the medicinal power gradually dissolved, and gradually flowed along Fang Xing's meridians, flowing into his limbs and bones. The process of this powerful medicinal power dissolving was quiet and quiet, so quiet that even Fang Xing himself felt that something was wrong. He didn't know if the Foundation-Building Pill had lost its effect … But after thinking about it, the Foundation-Building Pill had been appraised by the Yin Yang Demon Mirror, so there shouldn't be any problems!
After an unknown amount of time, with a rumble, a bolt of lightning split open the thick fog.
This bolt of lightning originated from within Fang Xing's body.
This huge power caused Fang Xing's entire body to tremble, and faint traces of blood appeared from the pores all over his body.
"The medicinal power is this strong?"
Fang Xing was greatly shocked, and tried his best to concentrate and restrain his divine sense.
In just half a breath's time, a second bolt of lightning lit up within his body.
"Chi … …"
From the pores on the surface of Fang Xing's body, filthy blood, as thin as hair, faintly emitted a fishy smell.
At this time, Fang Xing was also pulled into his sea of consciousness by a strange power, and sat cross-legged on top of the altar.
"Boom boom boom … …"
The lightning did not stop, and kept striking down.
Compared to the lightning that he felt in the outside world, the lightning that he felt in his sea of consciousness was striking down from the endless void above. It was as if a heavenly blade had split the void in half, descending from the nine heavens and striking into his sea of consciousness.
"Boom … …"
Within the boundless sea of consciousness, the seawater gradually began to swirl. The clear and transparent seawater seemed to have become viscous.
There was a wind!
Out of nowhere, a hurricane swept up the seawater, as if it wanted to empty the entire space of the sea of consciousness, and all the seawater was drawn to the altar. The seawater became viscous, and then, under the continuous strikes of the lightning, it began to crystallize. Then, under the urging of an invisible force, it kept squeezing, molding, and gathering together, turning into a crystal clear …
Jade Pagoda!
In the sea of consciousness, this jade pagoda, which was made of all the water in the sea of consciousness, was countless zhang high, and almost broke the void.
And Fang Xing's true spirit was sitting cross-legged on the top of the jade pagoda, gazing at the void.
"The water in the sea of consciousness is the manifestation of the spiritual energy in the sea of consciousness. Now that the seawater has been crystallized and molded into a pagoda, does it mean that the spiritual energy in my body is also changing? I just don't know what it has become … … "
"Boom boom … …"
"Damn, it hurts … …"
Before this thought flashed through his mind, the lightning struck again, and Fang Xing couldn't help but curse.
As the lightning continued to strike, the countless zhang high jade pagoda began to shrink and shrink. During this process, even Fang Xing's true spirit was enduring endless pain. The feeling of being struck by lightning was strangely real to his true spirit. A kind of tearing pain arose spontaneously, as if something was growing in his true spirit.
"Ah, little devil, bear with it. If you want to build your foundation, you will have to endure this tribulation!"
Daphne sighed, hiding far away to avoid the calamity.
"The ancient people who built their foundation, formed their core, and formed their nascent soul all had to experience great pain, seeking a chance of survival in despair … …"
"Usually, they would choose the Heavenly Thunder!"
"The Heavenly Thunder comes from the sky and connects with the earth. It is violent in nature and contains the power of destruction!"
"However, in the midst of destruction, there is a chance of survival. It lies between life and death, which is in line with the great Dao of destruction!"
"The ancient cultivators searched for the opportunity to break through in the Heavenly Thunder. If they didn't succeed, they would seek death!"
"Nowadays, the cultivators are lazy and begin to cherish their lives. They begin to search for any way to avoid calamity. They want to break through, but they are unwilling to bear the danger and pain that comes with breaking through. Little do they know that they have already walked the evil path. Back then, I accidentally received the ancient records in the Mysterious Coffin and understood this principle. Opportunity and danger coexist, and new life and death dance together … …"
"Building your foundation is to experience freedom in pain, and seek new life in death … …"
"The Foundation Building Pill is like heaven and earth, and contains the power of thunder. You have to carefully feel this pain, and seek … …"
"Seek my ass! If you don't shut up and I succeed in building my foundation, you will be the first to be struck … …"
Daphne's dignified and solemn voice kept ringing in his ears. He was extremely serious, but it immediately made Fang Xing angry.
It was already hard enough to be struck by thunder, and now he had to listen to this old feathered beast's long-winded chatter. How was he going to live?
Daphne was also stunned, and he flew into a rage. He swung his sleeves in exasperation at Fang Xing for failing to meet his expectations and scolded, "I didn't keep my knowledge to myself. I told you some of my comprehensions from back then, and you actually found it annoying? You want to cultivate the Dao? Cultivate the Dao my ass! "
As he spoke, he sat down indignantly and sulked by himself.
