Cultivating To Immortality

Ten days later, Fang Hong arrived alone at a quiet Immortal Cave for secluded cultivation, placing the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron in the center of the room.

He lightly leaped into the cauldron, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and slowly adjusted his breathing.

Cultivation technique, spirit pills, and state of mind.

Everything was ready.

It was time to begin his assault on the Divine Transformation Realm.

Fang Hong now knew that the key to advancing to Divine Transformation lay in whether he could perceive Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was more advanced and purer than spiritual energy, being the Origin Qi of heaven and earth.

Once a cultivator advanced to Divine Transformation, he would rarely use spiritual energy for cultivation, instead directly drawing upon Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to cultivate, which would be much faster.

Therefore, to step into the Divine Transformation realm, one must first enable the Nascent Soul within the body to initially perceive and mobilize Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, thereby continuously strengthening one's divine soul and physical body.

Only by doing so could one truly advance to a Divine Transformation cultivator.

...

Fang Hong sat in meditation for a full two hours before he felt his state had reached its peak, and with all conditions met, it was time to attempt the breakthrough to the next realm.

Suddenly, a golden light erupted from his entire body, like the rising sun, dazzling and blinding.

The enormous Nascent Soul within him suddenly leaped out from the top of his head, hovering in mid-air.

The giant Nascent Soul sat quietly above the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, mimicking Fang Hong's posture, forming hand seals, its aura solemn and majestic.

Fang Hong placed his storage bag in front of him, took out an eighth-grade spirit pill from it, inhaled it, and then began to circulate the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art.

At the same time, Fang Hong also activated the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron; the cauldron body emitted a low hum, and a halo ascended, beginning to temper his physical body.

...

Time flowed by, and three months passed in a flash.

In the central part of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, atop a high peak perpetually shrouded in mist.

The two Nascent Soul Old Ancestors of Danxian Valley, Luo Jie and Zhong Yi, were leisurely sitting in a pavilion, sipping tea.

Luo Jie's face carried an uncontainable smile, his expression relaxed, clearly having encountered something joyful.

"Congratulations, Old Lu for advancing to Nascent Soul Peak, you now have a chance to contend for the Divine Transformation Realm."

Zhong Yi raised his cup in congratulations, his face filled with envy.

"Hahaha. This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Fang for giving me many spirit pills, which allowed me to fortunately breakthrough to Nascent Soul Peak. As for Divine Transformation, that's still a long way off."

Luo Jie laughed, waving his hand, his tone carrying a hint of humility.

"Speaking of Fellow Daoist Fang, he truly is a heaven-blessed genius, cultivating to such a realm at such a young age. I heard he returned from his travels a while ago; he's probably going to attempt the Divine Transformation Realm soon." Zhong Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Indeed, if Fellow Daoist Fang advances to Divine Transformation, why would we fear Zhao Wenjun in the future? We'll pick a good day and just eliminate him directly." Luo Jie nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Speaking of Zhao Emperor, our scouts sent back intelligence a few days ago that some kind of change seems to have occurred in the Imperial Capital of Zhao," Zhong Yi said, remembering something, his brows furrowing.

"Oh? What happened in the Imperial Capital of Zhao?" Luo Jie asked, somewhat puzzled, turning his head to look at Zhong Yi.

Just as Zhong Yi was about to speak, suddenly, the entire Azure Cloud Mountain Range shook violently, and an overwhelming pressure abruptly descended, like giant waves sweeping the sky.

The originally clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

"Such, such powerful pressure."

Zhong Yi suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Fang is truly about to advance to Divine Transformation?"

Luo Jie was equally shocked, leaping from his chair, his gaze fixed on the highest peak in the distance—Yuan Huang Peak.

He clearly felt an incredibly powerful aura rising from the mountaintop; it was no longer a power that could be possessed by the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Quick, let's go see." He immediately shouted.

Before his words finished, the two Old Ancestors had transformed into two streaks of light, like meteors streaking across the sky, rushing towards Yuan Huang Peak.

The birth of a Divine Transformation cultivator, if observed up close, would be of immense benefit to their future Breakthroughs; this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, naturally not to be missed.

At this moment, above the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, the dark clouds churned even more violently, with rumbling thunder and crisscrossing purple lightning.

And above Yuan Huang Peak, streams of white Qi were gathering from all directions; that was the purest Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

Witnessing such a celestial phenomenon, the disciples of the three sects stopped what they were doing and rushed from their respective Immortal Caves, alchemy rooms, and Cultivation grounds to a few miles outside Yuan Huang Peak's perimeter.

There were newly initiated Qi Refinement Stage disciples, Foundation Establishment Stage Inner Sect Disciples, and even Core Formation Stage Elder-rank figures.

These people stopped and looked up at the peak of Yuan Huang Peak, observing the spectacular sight of dark clouds covering the sky and lightning intertwining, their eyes filled with reverence.

The six Nascent Soul Old Ancestors from Danxian Valley, Taiyi Sect, and Beast Taming Sect also arrived successively at an unnamed high peak, from where they watched Fang Hong's breakthrough from afar.

"Is this the aura of a Divine Transformation cultivator? It's indeed vastly different from the Nascent Soul Realm."

Old Ancestor Hong Wei of the Beast Taming Sect exclaimed in astonishment.

"Yes, our Southern Region finally has a Divine Transformation cultivator," Elder Ye Yu similarly exclaimed.

Just as the Old Ancestors were observing intently, suddenly, the sky rumbled, and immediately after, torrential rain began to fall.

Unlike ordinary rainwater, these raindrops were crystal clear, shimmering with a faint glow, like spirit liquid, pouring down from high altitudes, and they contained rich Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, emitting a faint, peculiar fragrance.

"It's Heaven and Earth Origin Rain. The Heaven and Earth Origin Rain has appeared. Fellow Daoist Fang's attempt at Divine Transformation is now assured."

Luo Jie exclaimed, his face excited.

"Is this the legendary Heaven and Earth Origin Rain? The miraculous rain born during promotion to Divine Transformation, containing Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, capable of helping people breakthrough their bottleneck, comparable to a spirit pill."

Immortal Aunt Mozhu's eyes showed an incredible expression.

"All disciples, listen. Old Ancestor Fang Hong is currently attempting the Divine Transformation Realm, and Heaven and Earth Origin Rain is falling."

"This rain helps breakthrough bottlenecks and is comparable to a spirit pill. All disciples must seize this precious opportunity and meditate on the spot to absorb it."

Luo Jie immediately cast a sound amplification spell, his voice like thunder, resounding for several miles.

Upon hearing this, the disciples were greatly astonished; only then did they realize that Old Ancestor Fang Hong was attempting the Divine Transformation Realm.

Immediately, their hearts surged with excitement, and they quickly sat down in an orderly fashion in open spaces, maintaining a certain distance, closing their eyes to adjust their breathing, and began to fully absorb this heaven-sent Origin Rain.

The six Old Ancestors were no exception; they each found a spot, sat cross-legged, and likewise bathed in the Heaven and Earth Origin Rain.

Heaven and Earth Origin Rain is a rare and precious occurrence; the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi it contains can not only help people breakthrough bottlenecks but also cleanse the meridians and stabilize the foundation, its efficacy comparable to a High Grade spirit pill.

The downpour grew heavier and heavier, and after about three hours, a white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes, tears glistening, too excited to speak coherently.

"I-I've established my foundation. Hahaha, I finally succeeded in Foundation Establishment. Thank you for Old Ancestor Fang Hong's grace. Thank you, Old Ancestor, for your blessing."

The old man was so emotional that tears streamed down his face, and he repeatedly kowtowed towards Yuan Huang Peak.

His spiritual root aptitude was poor, and he had cultivated his entire life, always stuck at the eleventh rank of Qi Refinement.

Even after consuming several Foundation Establishment Pills, he couldn't take that step, and he had long given up hope of Foundation Establishment.

Yet, he never expected that today, under the baptism of this Heaven and Earth Origin Rain, he would miraculously breakthrough his bottleneck and successfully establish his foundation, allowing him to live for several more decades.

How could this not make him so emotional that old tears streamed down his face?
