Chapter 18 - Chapter 17: Foundation Establishment, Dantian Like the Sea

Zhang Yuhe quickly brought up his personal attribute panel, and when he saw the'Special Physique' section, his conviction grew stronger.

Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture with Mixed Origin Saint Body—isn't that just perfect?

This was definitely not just a literal meaning.

According to the introduction in the booklet, to Cultivate the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture, one must possess all eight types of Spiritual Roots, and he indeed had all eight Spiritual Roots.

Moreover, he had a bold guess as to why he simultaneously possessed eight types of Dao Grade Spiritual Roots.

It was precisely because of his special Physique: Primordial Dao Body.

Having spent over a month in the Book Building, Zhang Yuhe was no longer a novice in the Cultivation world.

Although he hadn't found any information about the Primordial Dao Body in the Book Building, he had read about special Physiques in one of the books.

According to the book, people with special Physiques occasionally appeared in the Cultivation world.

They were naturally close to certain attributes, possessed innate Heavenly Grade Spiritual Roots, and upon Cultivating to a certain Realm, they would Awaken special Divine Abilities.

The book referred to this special Physique as a'Spiritual Body'.

A Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root does not necessarily mean one is a Spiritual Body, but a Spiritual Body is certainly a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root.

Zhang Yuhe wondered, if there are Spiritual Bodies, then are there also Saint Bodies and Dao Bodies?

Does a Saint Body correspond to a Saint Grade Spiritual Root, and a Dao Body correspond to a Dao Grade Spiritual Root?

If so, then it would perfectly explain why he had eight types of Dao Grade Spiritual Roots.

"I'll choose this Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture."

After careful consideration, Zhang Yuhe finally made up his mind.

If he didn't dare to gamble with such an opportunity, then what kind of Immortal Cultivation was he doing?

He respectfully said to the long-bearded old man:

"Senior, I choose the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture."

"Are you sure? Young man, don't be overly ambitious. Have you clearly read the introduction? No one in the Dao Saint Sect has successfully Cultivated it for millions of years. Do you think you can do it?"

Hearing Zhang Yuhe's choice, the long-bearded old man earnestly advised him.

At this moment, the old man seemed to have forgotten his previous displeasure; perhaps he didn't want Zhang Yuhe to go astray.

"I'm sure."

Zhang Yuhe replied firmly. There was nothing to fuss about; he would just spend some time trying. If it really didn't work, he could always find an opportunity to change his Cultivation Technique later.

Hearing Zhang Yuhe's answer, the old man couldn't help but shake his head. Almost every now and then, there would be such stubborn Disciples who thought they might be able to do what others couldn't.

They only realized their mistakes after hitting a wall.

Having guarded the Scripture Building for countless years, he was already accustomed to such matters, so he didn't try to persuade him further.

Good words are hard to persuade a doomed ghost.

The old man waved his hand, retracting the booklet, then said indifferently:

"Since you are so determined, then go."

After speaking, the old man flicked his sleeve, and Zhang Yuhe instantly disappeared. At the same time, the ninth floor of the Scripture Building lit up with a soft glow.

Zhang Yuhe surveyed his surroundings. A tall stone tablet stood before him.

The stone tablet was as black as ink, with no visible characters, but upon careful sensing, an incredibly vast aura seemed to emanate from it.

"Could this be the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture?"

"There isn't a single character. How am I supposed to learn this? Is this stone tablet a giant Jade Slip?"

Zhang Yuhe sat down cross-legged, released his Divine Sense, and silently sensed the aura on the stone tablet.

Boom…

When his Divine Sense touched the stone tablet, countless contents instantly flooded his mind, like a sudden enlightenment.

Zhang Yuhe immersed himself in it, and after an unknown period, he found himself outside the Scripture Building.

"Since you've seen the Cultivation Technique, what are you still doing here?"

Seeing Zhang Yuhe standing still in a daze, the long-bearded old man impatiently called out.

Zhang Yuhe then came back to his senses. He cupped his hands to bid farewell to the old man, then released his Flying Sword and flew towards Silver River Peak.

"This time, I've really hit the jackpot."

Along the way, Zhang Yuhe couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Returning to Silver River Peak, he quickly entered the pavilion and sat down cross-legged on the Cultivation platform.

He brought up the System to check his attributes, and a virtual panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Zhang Yuhe

Sect: Dao Saint Sect

Realm: Qi Refining Great Perfection

Spiritual Roots: Metal (Dao Grade), Wood (Dao Grade), Water (Dao Grade), Fire (Dao Grade), Earth (Dao Grade), Wind (Dao Grade), Lightning (Dao Grade), Ice (Dao Grade)

Special Physique: Primordial Dao Body

Luck: Auspicious

Comprehension Ability:???

Cultivation Technique: Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture (Upper Volume)

Spell Divine Abilities: Fireball Technique, Geng Metal Sword Finger, Wood Prison Technique, Water Arrow Technique…

Hundred Arts: Alchemy Entry, Artifact Refining Entry, Formation Entry, Talisman Dao Apprentice…

Having spent over a month in the Book Building, besides enriching his general knowledge of Cultivation, he also roughly looked at various basic spells, and then he just knew them, feeling it was very simple.

He even looked at a lot of the Hundred Arts knowledge in the Book Building and quickly learned the basics; now he only lacked hands-on practice.

For someone with off-the-charts Comprehension Ability, learning things was just this simple.

But what made him happiest was the 'Cultivation Technique' item; the original Qi Induction Art had disappeared, replaced by Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture (Upper Volume).

"So, the Scripture Building only contains the Upper Volume."

Zhang Yuhe silently recalled the contents on the stone tablet. According to what was said there, the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was a special Cultivation Technique from the Immortal Realm, divided into two volumes, upper and lower.

Normal Cultivation Techniques could only Cultivate a single attribute, while the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was an eight-element concurrent Cultivation.

The Spiritual Qi in the heavens and earth was mixed with various attributes. When a Cultivator was Cultivating, they needed to exclude other attributes of Spiritual Qi and could only absorb the corresponding attribute of Spiritual Qi according to their Cultivation Technique.

This was actually a very strenuous task, so whenever Cultivating, everyone had to be very careful and could not be disturbed.

Once other attributes of Spiritual Qi were accidentally inhaled, it was very easy to damage the Meridians.

However, the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was completely different. This Cultivation Technique could simultaneously absorb all types of Spiritual Qi, embodying the meaning of Primordial Unity.

Of course, this sounded beautiful, but in reality, it was completely impossible to achieve.

This kind of Cultivation Technique, which violated normal Cultivation rules, had never been successfully Cultivated by anyone.

It didn't seem like a Cultivation Technique created by humans, nor did it seem like a Cultivation Technique for humans to Cultivate; it was extremely unorthodox.

"Am I not human?"

Looking at the 'Cultivation Technique' item on his attribute panel, which clearly displayed the four characters 'Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture', Zhang Yuhe didn't know what to think.

The attribute panel showed it, which meant he had indeed learned it. Now, he just needed to Cultivate step by step.

"Let's try it."

Zhang Yuhe sat cross-legged on the Cultivation platform and slowly circulated the Cultivation Technique according to the guidance of the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture.

Instantly, the surrounding Spiritual Qi rapidly surged towards him, converging from his Meridians into his Dantian.

Since he had already reached Qi Refining Great Perfection, his Dantian was already incredibly full. If he didn't Breakthrough to the next Realm, he wouldn't be able to hold more Spiritual Qi.

However, as the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture continuously circulated, Spiritual Qi continued to pour into his Dantian.

Boom…

Suddenly, a silent roar sounded in Zhang Yuhe's mind. His Dantian seemed to have broken through some kind of restriction, rapidly expanding, and then being filled again by the surging Spiritual Qi.

Zhang Yuhe continuously circulated the Cultivation Technique. His Dantian remained in this state of expansion, filling, then re-expansion and re-filling.

After an unknown period, the Spiritual Qi surging into his Dantian suddenly transformed into fine drizzle, slowly dripping into the Dantian.

At the same time, the Spiritual Qi originally in his Dantian was also rapidly liquefying.

Zhang Yuhe dared not be careless, concentrating fully on circulating the Cultivation Technique and carefully observing the changes in his Dantian.

He was no longer a Cultivation novice and knew that he was in the process of Foundation Establishment.

Foundation Establishment was a crucial hurdle in Cultivation; only by establishing a good Foundation could one go further on the path of Cultivation.

Normally, every Cultivator would prepare thoroughly before Foundation Establishment.

Not only did they need to adjust their own state, but they also needed to prepare Foundation Establishment Pills and various Medicinal Pills to replenish Spiritual Qi in advance.

However, Zhang Yuhe had prepared nothing. He just wanted to verify if the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture could really be Cultivated.

Unexpectedly, this verification directly led him into the Foundation Establishment state. This put him in a difficult position, and now he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged in, then transformed into fine rain and sprinkled into his Dantian.

Time slowly passed. As the Spiritual Qi continuously liquefied, his originally hazy Dantian had become a vast ocean.

Dantian like the sea.

Zhang Yuhe checked his own state, then opened his eyes with a joyful expression.

"Haha, it's done."

The Immortal Foundation was established; from then on, it would be a smooth path.
