Chapter 175: Chapter 148: The Fall of the Golden Core_2

Translator: 549690339

The Middle Dantian is located within the Tan Zhong acupoint, which is at the chest area; it serves as a storage location for magical power during the Qi Cultivation Stage.

The Lower Dantian is located at the Guanyuan acupoint, three inches below the navel.

The Upper Dantian represents the divine spirit.

The Middle Dantian represents Qi.

The Lower Dantian represents essence.

During the Qi Cultivation Stage, cultivators have their magical power stored in their Middle Dantian, while mortal martial artists can store their true Qi after practicing mortal cultivation techniques in their Lower Dantian.

During Foundation Establishment, the Upper, Middle, and Lower Dantians all undergo changes.

At Foundation Establishment, the Upper Dantian, which represents the divine spirit, does not enlarge much, but the divine soul within will undergo a transformation. The divine soul will condense, and the spiritual sense will grow stronger, becoming about ten times stronger than during the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Ten times is only the standard Foundation Establishment. If one establishes a First-Class Immortal Foundation, at its highest, it can increase up to ninety-nine times.

The Middle Dantian, which represents Qi, will expand rapidly until it connects with the Lower Dantian, which represents essence, and they will then merge into one.

With the Middle and Lower Dantians merged as one, they acquire a new name Spirit Sea.

Within the Spirit Sea, magical power surges, with the standard increase being ten times. If it is a First-Class Foundation Establishment, the increase can reach up to ninety-nine times at its highest.

This standard, whether for spiritual sense or magical power, depends on various factors, such as the quality of the Foundation Establishment Pill used during Foundation Establishment, the cultivator’s realm during Foundation Establishment, whether they are a senior Qi cultivator, at the Qi Cultivation Peak, or a legendary Qi cultivator, and whether they possess any special inheritance.

After overcoming the three challenges of the physical body, divine soul, and magical power, one must pass through five tribulations.

The five tribulations are as follows: Mortal Dust Tribulation, Heavenly Demon Calamity, Desire Tribulation, Karma Tribulation, and Heart Tribulation.

Each of these tribulations is extremely difficult.

The three challenges and five tribulations do not occur sequentially but start simultaneously.

For example, when the Middle Dantian and Lower Dantian connect during Foundation Establishment, the cultivator may fall into the Mortal Dust Tribulation. If no guardian is present, they might drown in the mortal dust and fail to awaken, their Dantian would crumble, and their path would be destroyed by the time they awaken.

After overcoming the three challenges and five tribulations, various phenomena may occur in the vast Spirit Sea.

Green lotus grows in the spirit pool, immortal mist covers the spirit cranes, divine beings sit in the Dao Palace, immortal swords dance across the universe, and golden cicadas sing from the nine openings…

Once such phenomena appear in the Spirit Sea, it signifies that the cultivator has established a First-Class Immortal Foundation.

The increase of strength for magical power and spiritual sense of a First-Class Immortal Foundation ranges between fifty to ninety-nine times, while for those cultivators below a First-Class Immortal Foundation, the highest increase they can achieve after Foundation Establishment is forty-nine times.

Below a First-Class Immortal Foundation, there are also Second and Third-Class Immortal Foundations.

Cultivators with magical power and spiritual sense increases ranging from twenty-nine to forty-nine times are considered Second-Class Immortal Foundations, while those below this range are Third-Class Immortal Foundations.

In reality, even a First-Class Immortal Foundation can be inherited, and what is inherited is the phenomena.

It is rumored that in the Holy Land, there is a special inheritance ceremony that can condense the phenomena of the Spirit Sea into a seed to pass on to the next generation.

Of course, the Qi cultivator accepting the inheritance must also meet the conditions of a First-Class Immortal Foundation after overcoming the three challenges and five tribulations before they can successfully inherit the phenomena of the Spirit Sea and achieve a First-Class Immortal Foundation.

From then on, the path of immortality begins.

All this information Han Yi has gathered and summarized from the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

After leaving the Scripture Collection Pavilion, Han Yi visited Combat Peak.

Combat Peak was as bustling as ever, and Han Yi stood before the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings, examining them closely.

There were one hundred names on the Heaven Ranking, with Master Fire Phoenix still at the top, and He Fengdi not on the list.

Three hundred names were on the Earth Ranking, with Wu Hui of Dan Sword Peak at the first place.

This name was not unfamiliar to Han Yi, as he had heard it from Fei Qing over two years ago when they went to the Stars Sea.

What surprised Han Yi was that he hadn’t heard of this name in previous years. With his outstanding divine soul, he wouldn’t forget any name he saw on the Earth Ranking, but Wu Hui’s name was not even on the list a few years ago.

There must be a significant secret behind Wu Hui’s sudden rise.

However, Han Yi didn’t want to delve deeper into this, as everyone who steps onto the path of immortality has their secrets, and the secrets he carries may be the greatest in the Xuandan Sect.

After looking at the Earth Ranking, Han Yi looked at the Human Ranking with a gratified smile, as Zheng Hai had made it onto the list, ranking seventy-ninth, which meant he had joined the top hundred.

After looking through the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings…

Han Yi thought for a moment but decided not to go to the Nine Dragons Emporium, as he had plenty of spirit stones and magical tools. He still had over a thousand sets of raw materials for Gold and Silver Pills that he hadn’t used yet, and although he had various magical tools, he didn’t plan to sell them.

Returning to his courtyard, Han Yi considered his magical tools and realized he had four top-quality tools.

Golden Light Shuttle, Green Reed Sword, Clear Spring Sword, and Bloody Longsword.

The Clear Spring Sword was the reward from the Stars Sea, and the Bloody Longsword was Xue He’s magical weapon from the Blood God Sect.

As for high-quality magical tools, besides the original Panlong Sword, Han Yi also found a high-quality black sword with the words “Demon-slaying” engraved on it in Xue He’s storage bag. He named it the Demon-slaying Sword.

He also had numerous lesser-quality magical tools, most of which were swords or knives.

As for spirit stones, Han Yi had consumed quite a few in cultivating to the Qi Cultivation Peak. Still, after a trip to the Stars Sea, obtaining Xue He’s storage bag and the reward from the Stars Sea, the number of spirit stones he had increased by more than twice its initial amount.

Lastly, there was an Flawless Level Foundation Establishment Pill.

According to the sect’s previous rewards, after participating in the Evil-slaying Union and returning to prepare for Foundation Establishment, Han Yi can obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill from the sect and the protection of a Supreme Elder..
