Su Yuan sat cross-legged and entered the Origin Pool.
He checked the System panel.
[Name]: Su Yuan
[Region]: Green Branch Continent
[Level]: Gaining Fame (9389/1w)
[Realm]: Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer (99/100)
[Trait 1]: Work-Life Balance: Current Rest Time: 183.7 days
[Trait 2]: Dao Follows Nature
[Trait 3]: Seven Stars Shining Bright
Rest time cleared!
In an instant, Su Yuan's mind became several times clearer.
But it wasn't over yet; on this basis, the [Work-Life Balance] trait entered a secondary activation state.
His thinking speed increased several times again!
Cultivation time reached 1.8 days!
That's enough!
Su Yuan closed his eyes. All the ancient texts he had read in the past six months appeared in his mind one by one at this moment. Countless cultivation knowledge was automatically organized, classified, and summarized, presenting itself in Su Yuan's consciousness.
Many insights flashed through Su Yuan's mind, and his understanding of cultivation once again rose to a new level.
Before, his understanding of the Qi Refining Realm was extremely clear, reaching the level of a Qi Refining Grandmaster. However, for Foundation Establishment, he was only at the level of an ordinary master. Now, with the influx of vast knowledge, Su Yuan's understanding of the entire Foundation Establishment Realm had entered the Grandmaster level.
He also gained many insights into the Golden Core Realm.
"Foundation Establishment is about building the Dao Foundation. What is the Dao Foundation? It is preparation for comprehending the Laws of heaven and earth later. Whether it is the momentum of heaven and earth or the artistic conception, they are just manifestations of the Laws of heaven and earth. Foundation Establishment is about building a Foundation to carry these manifestations, and then step by step, moving from the superficial to the profound, ultimately touching the level of Laws!"
"What the secular world calls supreme grade, High Grade, etc., refers to the Foundation most suitable for carrying momentum and artistic conception. The higher the compatibility, the better the quality. Supreme grade Spiritual Roots are naturally born with the best carrying Foundation, which is the Spiritual Root. Building the Dao Foundation with the Spiritual Root as the base naturally results in supreme grade. This path is not suitable for me."
Su Yuan fell into contemplation.
"I have already comprehended two momentums and one artistic conception. Using this as the core to build the Dao Foundation, and then conversely building the Foundation most suitable for these two momentums and one artistic conception, wouldn't that be a perfect match?" Su Yuan murmured.
Su Yuan organized this cultivation knowledge and finally confirmed that his deduction was completely correct. Others don't know what kind of heaven and earth momentum or artistic conception they will comprehend in the future, so the Dao Foundation they build can only lean towards the direction they might comprehend. Therefore, even if it is infinitely close to the future heaven and earth momentum, it can only be infinitely close, presenting as supreme grade!
Su Yuan, on the other hand, did the opposite. The Dao Foundation he built was a perfect match, called a perfect Dao Foundation! In this way, the quality of his true essence would definitely be among the strongest in the world!
After confirming, Su Yuan showed a smile: "An ancient text mentioned that great Cultivators with perfect Dao Foundations existed in ancient times, but in this era, no one knows how to build a perfect Dao Foundation. It turns out one must first comprehend the artistic conception before building the Dao Foundation. Ancient Cultivators were indeed powerful. I wonder if any old monsters have survived?"
Su Yuan just sighed.
He then quickly sorted through the knowledge. After organizing the knowledge.
Looking at the appearance of the Origin Pool, countless insights surged in his heart again.
[Dao Follows Nature] activated!
This Origin Pool was indeed a place of profound heaven and earth mysteries!
The scene before Su Yuan's eyes suddenly changed. He seemed to see lines appearing between heaven and earth!
Within that massive spiritual stone Foundation, there seemed to be existences like Meridians in the human body, rapidly transporting spiritual energy and converging it into the Origin Pool!
Spirit Vein!
Su Yuan was surprised. He actually saw a spirit vein directly!
The effect of the [Work-Life Balance] trait increased the effect of the [Dao Follows Nature] trait by dozens of times!
This allowed Su Yuan to comprehend the mysteries contained within the profound heaven and earth even more clearly!
At the same time, all the memories of every corner and detail Su Yuan had observed near the Origin Pool over the past six months also surged forth one by one, adding bricks and mortar to Su Yuan's comprehension, continuously unleashing sparks of thought!
The overall framework of the entire Origin Pool Stone Valley appeared in Su Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, completely reproduced. He saw lines of strange heaven and earth Meridians combining to form a Spirit Gathering Great Formation!
"Is this a Formation? It's also a bit unlike one. It's somewhat similar to the natural Formations described in the 'Thousand Formations Manual'. No, it is that kind of Formation born naturally from heaven and earth!"
Su Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter!
One of the Ten Absolute Rogue Cultivator's Secret Skills , the 'Thousand Formations Manual', is also a profound Legacy. The book describes:
Formations are the language Cultivators use to explain the mysteries of heaven and earth after comprehending nature, while Formation Restrictions are the innate heaven and earth language that can be used directly without 'translation'.
Essentially, they are both 'languages', so there is no fundamental difference, but heaven and earth Formation Restrictions are more powerful under the same conditions, and there is also a very important difference.
That is, Formation Restrictions can be mastered as a whole. You don't need to know the details within them to exert their full power, just like a black box. You don't need to know the principles inside the box, only the overall function of the black box!
These black boxes can be called 'Restrictions'!
Restrictions are also Formations. Some Formation Masters specifically use Restrictions to set up Formations and can set up stronger Formations that transcend their own level. These Formation Masters can also be called Restriction Masters!
Restrictions are also the core of a Formation Legacy! The more Restrictions a Formation Master masters, the more powerful they become! At the same time, if they can decipher the true operating principles of the Restrictions in the future, they can become true Formation Masters and Formation Grandmasters!
However, he had never seen the Origin Pool Formation Restriction before him in the 'Thousand Formations Manual'. Clearly, this was born after the Ancestral Master.
Upon observation, Su Yuan discovered that this entire natural Formation Restriction was composed of one hundred and eighteen Restrictions!
The more Su Yuan looked, the brighter his eyes became. This natural Formation Restriction could be completely analogous to the acupoints in the human body!
He then looked back at the location of this Origin Pool, which was surprisingly where the Dantian is located!
"This, this, this, it's too magical!"
Su Yuan was completely engrossed!
And as he delved deeper into comprehension, he saw runes flowing within the Formation Restriction!
Many of them matched the content in 'Talisman Guides Heaven and Earth', another Legacy of the Ten Absolute Rogue Cultivator!
Looking at this natural Formation Restriction, his understanding of the two unique skills, the 'Thousand Formations Manual' and 'Talisman Guides Heaven and Earth', also improved by leaps and bounds.
"Although I still don't understand the essential mysteries within, I can move this entire set of Formation Restrictions into my own body!"
Su Yuan had a sudden thought, and then his heart pounded. He was startled by his own bold idea!
This was a natural Formation Restriction!
According to the introduction in the 'Thousand Formations Manual', every Formation Restriction is exceptionally powerful. The idea of moving a Formation Restriction directly into his body was something he would only dare to have during the cultivation time granted by [Work-Life Balance].
He immediately pondered the possibility and found that it was not difficult. On the contrary, this auxiliary natural Formation Restriction seemed extremely gentle!
"The 'Blazing Wood Forging Spirit Technique' version is outdated. It seems it's time for another innovation!"
Su Yuan had a hint of realization in his heart. He wanted to integrate the method of perfect Foundation Establishment and the method of natural Formation Restriction into the 'Blazing Wood Forging Spirit Technique', and then break through in one go, becoming one of the strongest in Foundation Establishment!
Su Yuan floated on the surface of the Origin Pool water, his spiritual consciousness extended as much as possible, entering the deepest level of enlightenment.
However, as time passed, Su Yuan gradually felt a sense of obscurity and difficulty. Having just constructed a preliminary outline of a Cultivation Technique, he fell into an inexplicable Bottleneck.
The Nine-Colored Heavenly Immortal Fish looked at Su Yuan and saw that he had no reaction, so it immediately began to break through!
Within its body, a suction force like an abyss seemed to erupt suddenly, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. The Spiritual Pressure on its body also rapidly increased.
A group of spirit fish huddled in a corner, looking at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Three-colored light bloomed from the Nine-Colored Heavenly Immortal Fish, enveloping the entire Origin Pool. All the spirit fish were covered by it, and three-colored light also appeared on their bodies. They seemed to be transforming into 'three-colored fish'.
And their aura also began to climb at this moment, and their demand for spiritual energy also soared!
The rapid absorption of spiritual energy by the spirit fish and Little Cai caused the spiritual energy content in the Origin Pool to drop rapidly. As a result, the Origin Pool's natural Formation Restriction had to increase its operating speed, drawing in spiritual energy from afar to fill it.
The natural Formation Restriction began to operate rapidly, which was a rare occurrence.
And it was precisely this rapid operation that allowed Su Yuan to see more details of the natural Formation Restriction. Insights surged in his heart, and the Bottleneck of how to combine natural Restrictions with spiritual acupoints and Meridians was being rapidly broken!
He chuckled inwardly, thinking that heaven was truly helping him. The Breakthroughs of Little Cai and the spirit fish were providing him with the strength to comprehend the Great Dao, and this was the feedback from his 'hard work' cultivating them during this time. One drink, one peck, could it be predetermined? It was as if the cycle of the Heavenly Dao had its own rules within it.
At the same time, Su Yuan also thought of something. His spiritual consciousness probed into Little Cai's body to observe her Breakthrough process and the changes in her acupoints!
Immediately after, he was shocked to discover that the spiritual acupoints within Little Cai's body actually formed a System of their own. Although it wasn't a natural Formation Restriction, it seemed to also contain some kind of profound truth of heaven and earth! Mysterious, profound, and unfathomable!
But by using this feeling, Su Yuan had a reference template for integrating the natural Formation Restriction into his cultivation System. Inspiration suddenly became like a wild horse that had broken free, unstoppable!
A natural smile appeared on Su Yuan's lips, as if he were an enlightened master, having attained inner tranquility, watching the clouds roll and unfurl, his heart as bright as a high mirror, detached from worldly chaos, finally knowing the profound mystery of the Great Dao!
"Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!"
Su Yuan clapped his hands and laughed three times, brilliant spiritual light blooming in his eyes. Various insights melted into one furnace, and finally, he understood!
Main Peak Great Hall.
Sect Master Gu rushed over.
He immediately activated the Formation core to observe the situation at the Origin Pool.
Then he saw a mass of shadow seemingly sitting cross-legged above the Origin Pool, devouring massive amounts of spiritual energy (in reality, it was Little Cai and the spirit fish absorbing the spiritual energy).
"What's going on? Is it a Breakthrough?"
Sect Master Gu immediately observed the spiritual energy consumption of the Origin Pool and found that the consumption was extremely exaggerated, directly exceeding the Qi Refining level. It must be at the Foundation Establishment level or higher!
"It's actually breaking through! Good kid! Not bad!"
Sect Master Gu immediately began to remotely replenish spiritual energy into the Origin Pool. The Origin Pool could easily withstand the spiritual energy consumption of Foundation Establishment, so Sect Master Gu didn't care.
However, when he inadvertently saw the amount of spiritual energy consumed before, he couldn't hold back anymore.
