The lifespan of Foundation Establishment can exceed five hundred years!
The lifespan of Golden Core can exceed a thousand years!
Qi Ping felt that not many people could resist the allure of longevity, at least not Qi Ping himself.
Besides wanting to possess great power, enjoy freedom without any threat or infringement, and live a more comfortable life, the greatest goal in Immortal Cultivation is to achieve longevity and immortality!
Breaking through to Foundation Establishment would allow Qi Ping to have a lifespan of over five hundred years! This undoubtedly had a fatal allure for Qi Ping, as such a lifespan was enough for him to accomplish many things.
By that time, even if the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage was extremely difficult, it could still be slowly honed over time. If one's talent was insufficient, then one could seek some animal companions with great talent.
Not to mention the great power that would be gained from breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
How many Qi Refining Cultivators can resist the temptation of Foundation Establishment?
...
"Foundation Establishment!"
"Finally, the day has come!"
Upon reaching Qi Refining Perfection, Qi Ping was incredibly excited.
After preparing for so long, the final condition for his Foundation Establishment was finally ready!
Before this, Qi Ping had already understood the True Meaning of Fire to a deeper level.
Though there was little progress in the Farming Realm, the understanding of the Dao Heart was more difficult than the improvement of cultivation. However, the Dao Heart Realm was not a necessary condition for Foundation Establishment; it only greatly increased the success rate and stability of the foundation built.
Foundation Establishment is about laying the foundation for cultivation.
If Meng Yan wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could have done so long ago. But he waited for the enlightenment of the Dao Heart before choosing to break through, so as to build a strong foundation and prepare for the Golden Core.
Meng Yan's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was also very powerful. Even while heavily injured, he forced two Foundation Establishment Disciples from large sects of the same level to be on full alert, fearing that Meng Yan might suddenly explode and kill them.
This is the strong foundation built by understanding both the True Meaning of the Law and the Dao Heart Realm, although part of it is due to Meng Yan's unique physique and talent.
Qi Ping's Divine Soul and body were almost enhanced to their current limit.
The only slight regret was that Qi Ping did not have a Divine Soul cultivation method or powerful body talent.
However, these did not affect Qi Ping's breakthrough. For cultivators, the body and Divine Soul are not the most important aspects as long as the strength is sufficient, which is why Qi Ping did not pursue perfection in these areas.
If these matters delayed the pace of his Foundation Establishment breakthrough, it would truly be a case of neglecting the essential.
...
"Before starting the Foundation Establishment breakthrough, I must familiarize myself with the Golden Flame Technique again, and ensure that my body and Essence, Qi, and Spirit are in the best condition..."
Qi Ping had already been familiarizing himself with the Golden Flame Technique, this Foundation Establishment Technique, for over half a year.
When first learning about the Golden Flame Technique, Qi Ping was shocked by its power.
It turned out to be a secret technique!
In the tier classification of Foundation Establishment Techniques, they generally ranged from low-level, intermediate-level, high-level, to secret techniques.
Low-level techniques were the worst, not only weak in power but also highly flawed, with less than a ten percent chance of cultivation reaching the Golden Core, used by the lowest-tier Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Intermediate-level techniques were generally standard, without any particularly strong features, but if talent and opportunity were sufficient, they could support cultivation to the Golden Core Stage. Most Foundation Establishment Cultivators pursued techniques of this level.
Techniques classified as high-level usually had powerful traits or strong combat power. For instance, Wood Element Techniques were highly restorative, while Gold Element Techniques were indomitable. Those using techniques of this level were usually core members of large families or disciples of large sects.
Above that is the secret technique! These are often the unpassed secrets of large sects or families, only the most core members can cultivate them.
Qi Ping initially thought that the technique Meng Yan gifted him was a high-level Foundation Establishment Technique, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a secret technique!
Qi Ping had some understanding of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and naturally knew what this meant, and he immediately felt the substantial weight of it in his hands.
This was not something that could be obtained with tens of thousands of Spirit Stones; its value was simply indescribable! Qi Ping carefully remembered this kindness in his heart.
The Golden Flame Technique, being a secret technique, was characterized by extremely powerful and robust spiritual power cultivated through it! The foundation it built was equally strong! Its powerful traits did not disgrace the name of a secret technique.
However, the Golden Flame Technique also had particularly high cultivation difficulty, with the greatest limitation being that it required a powerful spiritual fire to refine one's cultivation and spiritual power foundation.
Only through refining with spiritual fire could the true strength of the Golden Flame Technique be exhibited!
Evidently, Meng Yan had already discovered that Qi Ping possessed a powerful Lifebound Spirit Fire, which is why he entrusted the technique to Qi Ping. Otherwise, if Qi Ping didn't have a Lifebound Spirit Fire, it would have been impossible to cultivate.
Unless Qi Ping managed to purchase and refine a rare spiritual fire, which was even rarer than Foundation Establishment Pills and nearly impossible to find.
Under the premise that Qi Ping had the Beast King's Flame, the Golden Flame Technique was a perfect match for him, not to mention he also shared Yaya's Yang Fire Body talent, with a trace of Solar True Fire in his blood, making him a natural candidate for cultivating the Golden Flame Technique.
Even Meng Yan couldn't have anticipated Qi Ping's compatibility with the Golden Flame Technique to be so high! He only knew that Qi Ping possessed a powerful Lifebound Spirit Fire.
Not to mention that after Yaya awakened the Great Sun Body, the Yang Fire Body also became more powerful through continuous refining, and the Solar True Fire in Qi Ping's blood became stronger as a result.
Comparing when Yaya first transformed from the Fire Separation Body to the Yang Fire Body, it had already grown much stronger, and it can be predicted that as Yaya's strength continues to increase, the Solar True Fire in Qi Ping's blood will become more abundant, and his Fire Cultivation Talent will continue to rise.
With the addition of the Beast King's Flame, as Qi Ping's understanding of the True Meaning of Fire deepened, and as he continuously refined and grasped Yaya's Lifebound Spirit Fire, its level had risen to the fourth tier, making its power stronger and its potential higher than most Lifebound Spirit Fires.
With both combined, Qi Ping's comprehension and cultivation of the Golden Flame Technique proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
"There is no issue with understanding and controlling the Golden Flame Technique. As for its manipulation during the Foundation Establishment process, I am confident it will go smoothly. All that's left is to adjust to the optimal state!"
In over half a year, Qi Ping had already memorized the contents of the Golden Flame Technique, and he had practiced circulating its spiritual power thousands of times, so attempting it now was smooth without any errors.
During the Foundation Establishment breakthrough, after crossing the boundary, one must immediately use the Foundation Establishment Technique to form the Foundation Root. If the formation fails, it can result in a regression of cultivation or even loss, which is one of the difficulties of breaking through to Foundation Establishment. However, Qi Ping was very confident in this regard.
For the time being, Qi Ping did not do anything else and patiently adjusted his state.
About three days later, with eyes closed, Qi Ping suddenly opened them wide.
The opportunity for Foundation Establishment had arrived!
