Chapter 647: Rainbow Pierce Skyway
Li Xizhi waited at the altar for a while. Among the crowd, only he had received the talisman seed but had yet to accept a talisman qi. As expected, a brilliant light soon rose from the Shenyang Mansion.
"Rainbow Pierce Skyway." His aura surged instantly, and his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation level rapidly advanced. The rainbow light radiating from his body grew brighter, giving him an ethereal and immortal appearance.
However, the gaps between the stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm were vast. While such an increase in cultivation might have elevated someone several levels within the Qi Cultivation Realm, it merely brought him to the edge of breaking through to mid-Foundation Establishment Realm. He stopped just short of the threshold.
Li Xizhi closed his eyes, muttering softly. When he exhaled, a plume of rainbow light dispersed. As he opened his eyes, the swirling rainbow hues within them slowly faded away.
Glancing at the crowd's awestruck gazes, he chuckled and said, "Just one step away from a breakthrough! It is actually a good thing—not rushing through this stage will avoid drawing suspicion. This way, I can refine my cultivation and practice spells during my trip to the Eastern Sea, before seizing the opportunity to break through."
After revealing his cultivation level, Li Xizhi explained the effects of the talisman qi he had received. Feeling inspired, he exercised his mana, causing rainbow light to dance across his fingertips. With a few hand seals, his middle and ring fingers curled into his palm while the rest pointed outward, forming a tripod-like shape.
In an instant, the spiritual energy flowing across the mountain ceased and froze in midair. After a brief pause, it rushed toward his hands in a concentrated surge, colliding and transforming into streams of white qi.
"Quite an improvement!" Li Xizhi praised himself as Li Ximing, standing nearby, gazed at him with bright eyes.
Li Ximing exclaimed, "Elder brother truly had foresight! Receiving the blessing at the Foundation Establishment Realm is indeed more beneficial. The rest of the family can follow your example in the future."
