Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Advancing to Foundation Establishment

```

In the Quiet Room.

"What a pity, I couldn't get a Superior Foundation Establishment Pill! However, with the Superior Red Heart Pill, Body Cultivation at Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sense, Earth Spirit Root, and the Top-Quality Foundation Establishment Pill, I should be able to smoothly progress and advance in Foundation Establishment!"

Zhao Yu first swallowed a Superior Red Heart Pill, followed by a meter of Superior Foundation Establishment Pill, and then, according to the Wood Yuan Gong's records on Foundation Establishment, he manipulated the mana within his body to begin the Foundation Establishment process.

Zhao Yu's mana began to compress crazily, transforming and sublimating, like a caterpillar to a butterfly, undergoing a life-altering transformation and forging a stable Dao foundation.

Under the influence of the Wood Yuan Gong's mana, Zhao Yu's meridians, internal organs, and various other organs were also being sublimated and transformed.

The heat flow from the Superior Foundation Establishment Pill merged into Zhao Yu's body, supporting his transformation and sublimation.

Three months flashed by in an instant.

In the Quiet Room, a powerful aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage wafted out from Zhao Yu's body as he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of a smile emerging, "I have finally advanced to Foundation Establishment!"

"Zhao Yu."

"Life Span: 43/253."

"Cultivation Level: Wood Yuan Gong 11th Level (0/100). Foundation Establishment First Rank!"

"Divine Sense: Foundation Establishment Second Rank (89/100)."

After advancing to Foundation Establishment, Zhao Yu's lifespan instantly surged by a hundred years, and he himself underwent a great change, his temperament becoming even more ethereal and other-worldly.

Regret flickered in Zhao Yu's eyes, "It's a pity that it's still a time of war, and the news of successful Foundation Establishment should not be spread. Otherwise, if I were to hold a Foundation Establishment celebration, not only could I receive a bunch of gifts, but I would also make many Foundation Establishment friends."

At this time, all of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Cang Country had already been conscripted by the Dan Ling Sect and joined the conflict with the Five Sects. Cang Country only had a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had concealed their names and identities, as well as a small number of Foundation Establishment rogues.

Zhao Yu, protected by Su Bingyun, and only a Qi Refinement cultivator, had not been forcibly conscripted to join the war with the Five Sects.

If Zhao Yu were to reveal that he had advanced to Foundation Establishment, the Dan Ling Sect would certainly conscript him and force him into the conflict with the Five Sects. If he did not wish to join the war, he would have to abandon Wolf Ridge and flee to places like Shiyang City, which were not under the control of the Four Great Sects.

One day, on a pavilion boat atop the lake in Wolf Ridge Mountains, Zhao Yu, with Ling Qianxue in his arms, tasting Spirit Fruits. He suddenly looked up and saw a Communication Talisman flying from afar, landing in his hand.

"The war among the Five Sects has ended, and the Five Great Sects have reached a resolution. The Yin Ghost Sect has officially settled in the North Desolate."

Zhao Yu gripped the Communication Talisman, and a stream of information immediately flooded his mind.

Zhao Yu's brow furrowed slightly and said, "It's incredible that the Four Great Sects united could not defeat the Yin Ghost Sect!"

Ling Qianxue spoke slowly, "The relationships among the Four Great Golden Core Sects in the North Desolate are intricate. If they really could cooperate wholeheartedly, they could have driven the Yin Ghost Sect out of the North Desolate two years ago."

The cultivators of the Yin Ghost Sect are proficient in various powerful Ghost Control Techniques, indeed very strong. Still, each of the Four Great Golden Core Sects in the North Desolate is also very powerful.

Any one of the Golden Core Sects is not a match for the Yin Ghost Sect, but if these Golden Core Sects unite, they naturally have the capacity to defeat, even annihilate, the Yin Ghost Sect—after all, the Yin Ghost Sect only has one Golden Core cultivator."

Zhao Yu left the pavilion boat and found Li Xianjiao, who was cultivating, bringing her to a hidden chamber.

Zhao Yu said, "The war among the Five Sects has ended. Do you plan to continue cultivating with me, or will you join one of the Four Great Sects?"

Li Xianjiao said, "Uncle, if I continue to cultivate with you, can I form a Golden Core and become stronger than Sister Su Bingyun?"

Zhao Yu answered frankly, "I don't have a Golden Core Technique that suits your Cultivation! Techniques like the Water Element Technique are far inferior to the Sect-protecting Cultivation Techniques of the Cang Ling Sect. If you follow me, it will be very difficult for you to form a Golden Core in the future!"

Zhao Yu had only obtained two Golden Core Level Techniques, among which the "Mountain Sutra" was the most powerful, profound, and extensive. However, Li Xianjiao had a Water Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root and was utterly unable to cultivate the "Mountain Sutra". This is the downside of being a Loose Cultivator—lacking a complete cultivation system.

The situation was different for the Four Great Sects, which undoubtedly had many Golden Core scriptures, allowing cultivators with different Attribute Spirit Roots to cultivate. Moreover, some Sect-protecting Cultivation Techniques enabled cultivators of any Attribute Spirit Root to cultivate them.

In the North Desolate, if human cultivators want to obtain Golden Core Level Techniques, they either have to find ways to explore the ruins left by Ancient Cultivators or join one of the Four Great Golden Core Sects. Otherwise, they can only risk their lives leaving the North Desolate and head to the Great Qian Empire.

Li Xianjiao smiled sweetly, her face full of anticipation, "I want to join the Dan Ling Sect! You will join the same sect as me, won't you, Uncle?"

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, "I will join the same sect as you!"

The next day, atop the pavilion boat on the lake in Wolf Ridge Mountains.

Zhao Yu said, "Qian Xue, I plan to leave Cang Country and head to Mushi Country. Are you willing to go with me?"

Ling Qianxue's delicate body shook, she bit her silver teeth and said, "Can't you stay?"
