Raising his neck and opening his mouth, he swallowed it down, yet there was no expectation in his heart!
It was like eating a persimmon. It was soft, but not sweet enough!
As expected, nothing abnormal occurred, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of disappointment. He was calm without a ripple.
He was reflecting on his life. If he missed out on tonight, he wouldn't be as calm as he was now when he set foot on his journey tomorrow!
Past life? It seemed to be very important, but he had already forgotten! He couldn't even remember when he started to forget, as if he had always existed in a process of unceasing forgetting.
He could still remember that world, the skyscrapers, airplanes, cannons, the world's structure, and the direction of the country, but he couldn't find his position in it? Was it a public office? A soldier? Was it a family of nine to five workers? In any case, it was a failure … Apart from this, he didn't remember anything about himself. It was like he was an existence like air in that world. He knew there was definitely some problem in this!
The universe? There was nothing to remember. It was eternal and unchanging, silent forever. Ten thousand years was an instant, and an instant was ten thousand years!
This world? This was the only thing he could remember! Over a dozen years of dribs and drabs had allowed him to become a person again. A person's joys and sorrows of separation and reunion!
Then, in the midst of these recollections, he felt the first drop of rain fall from the cloud of vitality in his dantian. Perhaps it was a teardrop!
How many tens of thousands of years had it been since he had shed a tear?
Lou Xiaoyi indulged his heart, and tears streamed down!
In contrast, the tears in his dantian became more and more concentrated! The threads were like threads, gradually pouring down!
Mother, are you helping me?
Once the heavy rain in his dantian began, it didn't stop. The cloud layer gradually thinned, and his dantian transformed from a pool of water into a spring …
Lou Xiaoyi didn't place any restrictions on this, nor did he interfere with this process of vaporization and liquefaction. This was because Dao Foundation Establishment was heaven's work. It was good to see, good to feel, and good to be happy!
Thankfully, this rain didn't become a sunshower. Half of it was clouds, and the other half was water. After a quarter of an hour, the gaseous cloud completely dispersed, and there wasn't a trace of rain or cloud above his dantian. Yet below his dantian, a spring glowing with spiritual light was actively flowing, brimming with boundless vitality.
Foundation Establishment still wasn't over! Although the most crucial moment had passed, there was still a very important ending!
That is, the spiritual power in the body's meridians is still in a gaseous state. It needs to be circulated, completely changing it into a liquid state!
This was a painful process, because along with the transformation of spiritual energy in the meridians, the body was also reconstructed. The main body was in the meridians, but it also involved the internal organs, blood, bones, muscles, skin …
Lou Xiaoyi made a prompt decision. He threw all the spirit stones he had, as well as several hundred spirit stones, into the spirit gathering array beside him. He didn't care that such extravagance and waste would be inefficient. What he needed the most now was to replenish high-intensity spirit energy in a short period of time!
There was no time to waste! After the Taoist root in the pubic region is formed, the time window for it to dissolve into liquid is very short. If he doesn't temper his body now, he won't have another chance in the future. He will become another kind of half-finished Laying Foundation cultivator.
To have the ability to build one's foundation, but not have the body to build one's foundation, that was a useless foundation!
At such a crucial moment, the Jade Clear's Imperial Edict from the orthodox Daoism displayed the supreme ability of the Three Clear's martial arts. It could transform the body to the greatest extent, but it wouldn't cause the cultivator to be unable to withstand the pain and lose consciousness during the process!
How could Lou Xiaoyi be stopped by a mere pain? A mother's love gave him a chance, just like how she gave him life when he was still in the womb!
The martial arts circulated faster and faster. The gaseous spiritual energy in the various meridians in the body was instantly condensed into a liquid state by the time it reached the pubic region, and then returned to the various meridians!
His internal organs were moving, his bones were being densified, his blood was being renewed, his muscles were being stretched, and his skin was being tightened … No matter how strong a normal person was, they wouldn't be able to withstand such a huge change. Unless they were like Lou Xiaoyi, who had been working hard on his small Dao Body for many years!
All of his efforts were for today's gains. Cultivation was never something that could be solved with a flash of inspiration!
He only used fifteen minutes to liquefy his pubic region, but it took him a whole two hours to change his body! Only now did he realize that his breakthrough was a little rash. Acting rashly without the protection of his elders and fellow sect members, as long as a cultivator with evil intentions passed by, it would make his ten years of effort go down the drain!
There was no black mud seeping out from his body, which meant that the person who said this definitely hadn't built his foundation! This was the Dao Foundation, it wasn't like he hadn't bathed for a few years! How unimaginative would one have to be to think of rubbing out black mud from his body?
Just by breathing in and out, he spat out mouthfuls of foul air. The more he breathed out, the faster he breathed out, and the thicker he breathed out! It didn't dissipate for a long time!
When his body was completely renewed, Lou Xiaoyi suddenly realized that his cross-legged body was no longer sitting on the ground. Instead, it was floating in the air by half a foot, not touching the ground!
He could fly now!
However, he could only fly for a short period of time because this required arcane effort secret arts, skill, and magik artifacts. But right now, he had none of these. He didn't have everything he had after entering Foundation Establishment!
Originally, he would've obtained this after entering some hidden sect. A Qi Consuming cultivator looking for a thigh and a Foundation Establishment cultivator looking for a backer were two different concepts. The former was absolutely impossible, and the latter was a matter of course. No sect or power would dislike having too many Foundation Establishment cultivators!
However, he might not have the time!
When the transformation of his body finished, Lou Xiaoyi straightened his body and stood up. His state of mind was suddenly enlightened. He suddenly thought that according to procedure, shouldn't he howl now?
Howl!
A long howl spread far and wide in the darkness of the desert. Following that, the sand wolves far and near howled back in response, rising and falling in succession. It was a magnificent sight!
Lou Xiaoyi laughed heartily. Next, it was time to compose a poem! This was a deep-rooted feeling in his mind. He didn't know where this feeling came from, or who it was influenced by...
It was precisely:
A loving mother shines a mirror on his dantian, the auspicious clouds of his five viscera reach the heavens;
Before, when he was silent, he was only lacking mercury and lead in his chest!
Mercury and lead, the so-called cornerstone of Daoism, he no longer owed them now!
Before entering Foundation Establishment, he planned to embark on the path of illuminating the night as soon as dawn broke. But now, the situation had changed. If he planned carefully, he might not lose his life there, so he could consolidate for a period of time. Now that he was sensing the body of Foundation Establishment, the speed was incomparable to before. The one year journey he originally thought of was not so long now!
However, as soon as he consolidated, a problem arose. For a Qi Consuming cultivator, the spiritual vigor of Heaven and Earth was already very thin. For him, whose dantian was now liquid, it was almost indistinct!
Thus, he simply abandoned the Spirit Gathering Formation and directly used the hundreds of spirit stones in the half-spirit state. At least he could still feel a sense of fullness. This also made him realize that the state of a Loose Cultivator was no longer enough to maintain his cultivation. In terms of resources, there was simply no way to continue, even if he had the endless red thread worms.
There were only two paths: enter a sect, or go to a new cultivation world!
