Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family - Chapter 145: Laying the Foundation, Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Base!

Chapter 145: Laying the Foundation, Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Base!

May, also known as Grain Month.

The fifteenth day of May was also known as the day of Great Yin Condensation.

As night fell, a new moon was slowly rising.

In the Blue Cloud Market Town, at the core of the mountain, inside a cave dwelling…

“Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue gazed at Lu Changsheng in front of her and softly called out.

She was wearing a white, moon-colored dress that concealed her slender, curvaceous figure.

Although her legs were hidden, her two slender, straight jade-like legs were still visible.

Her delicate, jade-like feet were wrapped in white silk socks, untainted by the world.

At this moment, Xiao Xiyue had regained her former, icy-cold demeanor.

Her entire being exuded a noble, sacred aura, like the ninth heaven’s mysterious moon.

Her captivating face radiated an otherworldly essence, like a thousand-year-old, unchanging ice, inspiring awe in those who beheld her.

“Let’s begin.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, gazing at Xiao Xiyue’s posture, without saying a word.

Xiao Xiyue’s clear, icy gaze, like a starry night sky, shone brightly, without a hint of worldly desires.

In the deepest, most secret recesses of her heart, a ripple of love emerged.

Her breathing rate gradually became disordered, indicating that the fairy’s heart was not at peace.

Their four eyes met for a moment, and her delicate, boneless, white-skinned hand wrapped around his neck, her lips imprinting on his.

The celestial music of life’s grand harmony began to play.

The two of them listened to this silent melody.

Their spirits and bodies began to merge with the rhythm, making it difficult for them to distinguish between each other.

Outside the cave, in the endless night sky, the bright moon hung high.

A fierce, dragon-like creature emerged from the depths, roaring towards the moon.

Facing the fierce dragon, the bright, icy moon burst forth with dazzling light.

However, under the dragon’s attack, the bright, icy moon seemed to furrow its brows, accompanied by a soft sigh, as endless moonlight poured out, merging with the dragon’s body.

The dragon obtained the moon’s essence, let out a mighty roar, and wanted to transform into a dragon!

Inside the cave, the entwined couple simultaneously let out a “Ah” sound.

“Changsheng!”

Xiao Xiyue, although maintaining a joyful posture, had her beautiful face immediately replaced by a noble, sacred aura.

Lu Changsheng didn’t speak.

As Xiao Xiyue’s Great Yin Moon Essence surged into his body, his Dan Lake seemed to surge with huge waves, roaring continuously.

This thunderous sound was inaudible to others, but Lu Changsheng himself felt it extremely clearly, like thunder, rumbling and echoing.

He hadn’t even started the Foundation Establishment, yet his seven-colored Dan lake was already churning and surging.

It was as if a boundless, golden light was about to condense and emerge from the Dan lake.

“If I fail, it will be unjust!”

Lu Changsheng felt this majestic and vast power, his eyes shining brightly.

With a wave of his hand, a ceramic bottle from the storage bag fell into his hand.

It was the Foundation Establishment pill.

In his current state, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, even without the pill, he had a 70-80% chance of success.

But…

Even with a slight risk, Lu Changsheng was unwilling to accept it.

The Foundation Establishment pill not only coordinated the three passes, increasing the Spirit Root’s absorption of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy.

It also guaranteed that, in case of failure, one would not suffer a backlash.

If the Foundation Establishment failed, one would either be injured, with their cultivation regressing, or their meridians and Dantian would be damaged, rendering them crippled, or even die.

So, even with a 99% chance of success, Lu Changsheng would still choose to take the Foundation Establishment pill to break through!

“Boom!”

As the Foundation Establishment pill entered his belly, the ‘Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique’ in Lu Changsheng’s body began to rotate, his spiritual energy surging like a tide, gathering towards his Dantian, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.

The spiritual energy in the cave also surged towards him like a wild, raging wave, forming a spiritual vortex.

“Rumble!”

At the same time, Lu Changsheng’s blood and energy boiled and rumbled, like a mighty river bursting forth.

Foundation Establishment, first stage – Qi Blood Barrier!

In this stage, the majestic heavenly and earthly spiritual energy poured into the body, surging into the meridians and Dantian.

If the body couldn’t withstand this process, it would lead to Foundation Establishment failure.

This was why, when cultivators reached sixty years old, their bodies would gradually weaken, their energy and blood declining, or they would have residual injuries or hidden diseases, making it almost impossible to achieve Foundation Establishment.

Because they fundamentally couldn’t withstand the majestic spiritual energy pouring in.

Lu Changsheng had cultivated the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, making his body comparable to a high-grade magical weapon.

Facing the raging spiritual energy, like a stormy wind and waves, he stood firm, unshaken, like an ancient, towering mountain.

Foundation Establishment, second stage – The Law Power Stage!

In the Qi Refining period, the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy would be refined into one’s own spiritual energy.

Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was to transform one’s spiritual energy into law power, from a gaseous state to a liquid state.

The purer and more refined the spiritual energy, the easier it was to liquefy and transform into law power.

If one consumed too many pills during the Qi Refining period, or relied on Breakthrough Pills, or used other methods, it would lead to a weak foundation of spiritual energy, impure law power, and difficulty in condensing the Dao platform.

Lu Changsheng had cultivated the Genuine Level technique, the ‘Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique’, and his spiritual energy was naturally pure and refined.

Although he had relied on pills throughout the process and often dual-cultivated with his wives, the Seven Stars Sword Energy could refine the pill’s toxicity.

In terms of dual cultivation, he had a sense of measure and didn’t use this method to increase his cultivation.

So, his spiritual energy foundation was solid and unshakeable.

Moreover, under the great sun essence of the Golden Crow pill and Xiao Xiyue’s Great Yin Moon Essence, he saw that his Dan lake was like a yin-yang fish, helping him to absorb and refine the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy.

This caused the spiritual energy in his Dantian to be constantly compressed, transformed into a liquid state, and wanted to transform his Dan lake into a true lake.

Third stage – Spirit Consciousness Stage.

Under Xiao Xiyue’s guidance, he had already given birth to a spirit consciousness using the Violet Palace Spirit Nurturing Art and the Jade Soul Flower.

Although it was only a small spirit conscious, it was still spirit conscious.

So, this stage didn’t exist for him.

“Next, it’s time to transform the dan lake into a true lake and condense the Dao platform!”

Having been with Xiao Xiyue for so long, Lu Changsheng was extremely familiar with the Foundation Establishment process.

He knew that after passing the three stages of Foundation Establishment, the most important step was to use his spirit consciousness to control his body and law power.

To make his Dantian’s spiritual energy, which was like a mist, transform into liquid.

And then, his dan lake would transform into a true lake, supporting the Dao platform, and shedding his mortal body.

This step had requirements for both the cultivator’s Spirit Root talent and external environment.

If the Spirit Root talent was too poor, the absorption and transformation of spiritual energy would be too slow, leading to insufficient liquid law power, and inability to condense the Dao platform, resulting in Foundation Establishment failure.

This was why most cultivators needed to rely on Foundation Establishment pills to achieve Foundation Establishment.

Because, except for the Earth Spirit Root and Heaven Spirit Root, even a high-grade Spirit Root would still have a risk of failure if not careful.

Lu Changsheng’s current five-element Spirit Root, although not excellent, was not a hindrance.

Moreover, he had half of a Metallic Spiritual Body.

And, he not only had the assistance of the Foundation Establishment pill.

But also the great sun essence of the Golden Crow pill and Xiao Xiyue’s Great Yin Moon Essence.

“Rumble!”

The surging, violent spiritual energy rushed towards Lu Changsheng, forming a massive spiritual vortex dozens of feet in diameter.

Inside his body, it was like a mountain collapsing and a sea churning, constantly rumbling.

The spiritual energy was constantly transforming, liquefying, and becoming a drop of seven-colored, crystal-clear law power.

Each drop of law power contained a power far stronger than his spiritual energy, which was like a mighty river.

This was a qualitative difference!

Like the difference between crude iron and refined steel!

As the gaseous dan lake gradually transformed into a liquid dan lake, the law power in the lake surged and churned, and a seven-colored jade platform gradually took shape.

It was the Seven Stars Dao Platform of the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique!

However, just at this moment, suddenly…

Lu Changsheng saw a thread of spiritual energy suddenly rush into his dan lake.

Causing the great sun essence and the Great Yin Moon Essence to perfectly merge, and together rush into the seven-colored jade platform.

“Someone is breaking through to the Foundation Establishment!”

“Ah, what a terrifying spiritual vortex! It seems like it’s not an ordinary person breaking through to the Foundation Establishment!”

“It should be a proud son of the Blue Cloud Sect.”

“Looking at the situation, it seems like they’re already at the critical moment of the Foundation Establishment!”

The spiritual energy vortex caused by Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment also attracted the attention of many people inside and outside the core peak.

They saw that someone was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.

And through the size of the spiritual vortex, they judged that the person breaking through was not ordinary.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, this spiritual vortex is truly rare.”

“Is it Xiao Xiyue breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, or is it her friend?”

The Manager Han, saw the location of the spiritual vortex and immediately guessed that it was Xiao Xiyue’s cave dwelling.

Although there were occasionally people breaking through to the Foundation Establishment in the Blue Cloud Market Town, the number wasn’t many.

Moreover, this massive spiritual vortex was clearly caused by a genius breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.

“Ah? Xiao Xiyue is breaking through to the Foundation Establishment? It seems like I need to go congratulate her.”

In a cave dwelling in the mountain, a young man with a majestic aura and a sharp, vigorous spirit opened his eyes, walked out of the cave, and saw the spiritual vortex, muttering to himself.

Inside the cave…

Xiao Xiyue’s icy, jade-like fairy body, like a bright, full moon, had a sacred, jade-like glow, and was breathtakingly beautiful.

She looked at Lu Changsheng, who was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, and suddenly whispered…

“The worldly emotions are like a chaotic dream, the bright moon shines on my true heart.”

“In the dream, I forget my emotions, and only the Great Dao remains in my heart.”

Her sacred face revealed a complex expression.

Then, her expression became calm and serene, like ice and snow, and seemed to have been liberated, and also seemed to have been relieved.

The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, which had troubled her for a long time, also disappeared at this moment, like ice and snow melting away.

Causing her entire being to change, and the spiritual vortex around her to condense and form, as she began to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

Just as Xiao Xiyue began to break through to the Foundation Establishment…

“Ah, what’s going on?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the yin-yang fish that had rushed into his Seven Stars Dao Platform.

He could clearly feel that the originally incompatible great sun essence and Great Yin Moon Essence had formed a perfect balance under the spiritual energy.

And there was an additional, mysterious power.

These three powers merged, transforming into a Taiji yin-yang fish, swimming in the Seven Stars Dao Platform.

Like the seven-colored jade platform, the sun essence and moon essence, two spiritual energies, were constantly being absorbed and devoured by the Taiji yin-yang fish.

Causing Lu Changsheng’s Seven Stars Dao Platform to vibrate and tremble, and begin to re-condense.

“Could it be that this thread of energy, like the great sun essence and the Great Yin Moon Essence, can also enhance the Dao platform’s quality?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the changes in his Dao platform, feeling a mix of surprise and doubt.

Regarding the great sun essence and the Great Yin Moon Essence merging into the Dao platform, he wasn’t surprised.

Xiao Xiyue had told him before that the great sun essence was a heavenly treasure that could make his foundation even more solid.

And even make the Seven Stars Dao Platform advance to the next stage.

The same was true for the Great Yin Moon Essence.

But he hadn’t expected that this thread of spiritual energy, which was originally stored in his body and almost forgotten, would suddenly emerge.

This thread of spiritual energy had a slight nourishing effect on his body at first, but later had no effect.

He had spent some time researching, flipping through many books, trying to figure out what this energy was.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find any relevant information and didn’t understand what this energy was.

Since it didn’t seem to have any bad effects, he just let it be and gradually forgot about it.

But unexpectedly, at the final stage of his Foundation Establishment, this thread of spiritual energy emerged, allowing the great sun essence and the Great Yin Moon Essence to perfectly merge.

He could feel that previously, the great sun essence and the Great Yin Moon Essence were not fully compatible and couldn’t form a balance.

It was only under this spiritual energy that they could merge perfectly.

And he had a faint feeling that this spiritual energy was even more powerful than the great sun essence and Xiao Xiyue’s Great Yin Moon Essence.

“I wonder what my Dao platform will transform into under this power?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Seven Stars Dao Platform in the dan lake, which was vibrating and trembling, and saw that his Dao platform was re-condensing.

As for what kind of Dao platform it would transform into, Lu Changsheng wasn’t clear.

After all, Xiao Xiyue had only roughly explained a few types of Dao platforms to him.

And Dao platforms were like that, even if they were the same type, they would have different differences depending on the individual’s cultivation method and situation.

There was no way to generalize.

However, Lu Changsheng knew that he currently needed a large amount of spiritual energy to support the re-condensation of his Dao platform.

Immediately, he became like a black hole, absorbing and refining the spiritual energy from all directions, and condensing it into his Dao platform.

“Rumble!”

In the dan lake, the seven-colored jade like Dao platform was becoming increasingly bright and dazzling.

In this process, his Seven Stars Dao Platform, due to the sun and moon essences being devoured by the yin-yang fish, gradually transformed from seven colors to five colors.

As the Yin-Yang small fish, which had swallowed the sun and moon, grew stronger, it swam out of the jade plate and circled around it.

At this moment, a new Dao foundation began to take shape.

The Dao platform’s mysterious and profound Yin-Yang Five Elements’ light slowly rotated, rising slowly from the dan lake.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As the Dao platform rose, Lu Changsheng’s heart rate accelerated uncontrollably.

His entire body’s meridians relaxed, his bones crackled, and his blood flowed like a mighty river.

With each heartbeat, his entire body’s aura expanded, growing stronger from the inside out.

“Boom!”

Finally, Lu Changsheng’s Dao platform rose from the dan lake, rotating above his Dantian.

The Dao platform displayed the colors of the Five Elements, surrounded by the Yin-Yang dual energies.

In an instant, a boundless light burst forth from the Dao platform, almost piercing through his body.

Accompanied by the boundless light, an unfathomable power spread out, making Lu Changsheng’s hair stand on end without any wind.

The Dao platform rose, shedding its mortal coil!

This boundless Yin-Yang Five Elements’ power flowed through Lu Changsheng’s body.

It cleansed his marrow, washing away every inch of his blood and flesh.

Lu Changsheng had cultivated the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, and his physical body was already extraordinary, but at this moment, a large amount of impurities was still expelled.

He didn’t know how long it took.

The light within his body dispersed, and the transformation was complete. Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

“Foundation Establishment is complete!”

His pupils seemed to have Yin-Yang energies rotating within, emitting a piercing light.

The impurities on his body dissipated, replaced by a refreshing, clean scent.

“Is this Foundation Establishment?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his body, which was as white as jade and had been reborn.

Feeling the power surging through his body, he revealed a satisfied smile.

Foundation Establishment was a small goal he had been striving for.

Now, he had finally taken this step.

In this world, he had finally gained a certain level of self-preservation power.

“I’m afraid I could slap my previous self to death with one palm now.”

Lu Changsheng felt the boundless power within his body and thought to himself.

After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he felt his spiritual power had increased by more than tenfold.

Moreover, when he broke through to Foundation Establishment, the Xuan Yuan Bead within him went into a frenzy, absorbing and spitting out spiritual energy.

It converted the stored spiritual energy within into spiritual power.

His body’s spiritual power had increased by almost threefold based on its original foundation.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng felt unprecedented confidence and self-assurance.

Even if he faced the red-clothed youth from before, he could take him on.

As for killing him, that was hard to say.

After all, through looting, he knew the other party had a hidden trump card.

However, he had just broken through to the foundation-building stage and lacked the corresponding means for the Foundation-Building stage.

“My spiritual sense is almost 18 meters.”

“This aspect is my only weakness.”

Lu Changsheng again examined his spiritual sense.

Ordinary cultivators who had just broken through to Foundation Establishment had a spiritual sense of around 10 meters.

His 18 meters, although far surpassing the average level, was indeed a weak point compared to his physical body and spiritual power.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng looked at his Dao platform in his Dantian.

The Dao platform was like a jade plate, displaying the Five Colors, surrounded by the Yin-Yang dual energies.

“This Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Base is my foundation, isn’t it?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his Dao platform with a strange look on his face.

The moment he saw his foundation, he naturally understood his foundation’s information.

Originally, his spiritual power was the Seven Stars Dao Platform, but after transforming into the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Base, not only did his spiritual power become even more formidable.

The Tai Yin and Tai Yang, the essence of the sun and moon, merged with the spiritual energy, transforming into the Yin-Yang dual energies.

This Yin-Yang dual energy had two effects.

One was to double the effect of his dual cultivation.

The other was that, through dual cultivation, he could consume his own Yin-Yang dual energy to repair others’ foundations, washing and refining their Dao base.

A Dao base was divided into four types: incomplete, flawed, flawless, and perfect.

His Yin-Yang dual energy could repair the cracks and flaws on an incomplete or flawed Dao base, ultimately refining it into a flawless Dao base.

This effect was truly heaven-defying.

Even Lu Changsheng, who didn’t know much about Foundation Establishment, knew that materials that could repair Dao base cracks and flaws were extremely rare and precious, hard to come by.

And the fact that he could consume his Yin-Yang dual energy to repair cracks and flaws, even refining it into a flawless Dao base, was truly heaven-defying.

“This Dao base effect is really tempting me to change my cultivation method.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Yin-Yang dual energy circulating on his Dao platform, his mouth twitching.

He thought about the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique he had, a Peripheral Level technique that focused on dual cultivation.

Naturally, if he were to modify the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, relying on the effects of this Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Base, his cultivation progress would likely be extremely rapid.

But he just thought about it.

The Yin-Yang Harmony Technique was far inferior to the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique.

Although the cultivation speed was much faster, the foundation was lacking by too much.

Moreover, he had just reached Foundation Establishment and wanting to change his cultivation method would be very troublesome.

If he were to change to another technique, he would likely lose 30-50% of his current cultivation.

However, the second effect of the Yin-Yang dual energy made Lu Changsheng feel very pleased.

He knew clearly that among his current wives, none of them had a chance to reach Foundation Establishment.

Only Lu Miaoge had a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment.

But even if they succeeded, it would likely be a flawed Dao base.

It was difficult to achieve a flawless Dao base.

In this situation, his Dao base effect came in handy.

If his wives could forcibly reach Foundation Establishment, even if it was an incomplete Foundation Establishment, he could help them.

“If I spread this effect, I’m afraid many female cultivators who have reached Foundation Establishment would be willing to come to me, even if it means giving birth to a child.”

“This ability to refine and repair Dao bases is indeed a Core Formation opportunity.”

“However, this matter must not be revealed.”

“Otherwise, who knows what kind of old monster would catch me and use me as a tool?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He knew that this matter must not be lightly revealed.

“Now that I’ve reached Foundation Establishment, shouldn’t I compose a poem to celebrate?”

After checking his own situation, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of this.

Just as he was racking his brains to come up with a poem, he suddenly sensed that something was off about Xiao Xiyue beside him.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng looked to the side, seeing Xiao Xiyue, who was as beautiful as a fairy, with a pure and holy aura.

He saw that she was attempting to reach Foundation Establishment.

She had already reached the stage of condensing her Dao base.

But something was off about her situation, and her Dao base seemed to be having some problems.

“Not enough spiritual energy!”

Lu Changsheng immediately realized the problem.

According to reason, the second-grade upper-level cave should be enough for two people to reach Foundation Establishment successfully.

But he had just broken through, condensing the Seven Stars Dao Platform, and then transformed it into the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Base.

At the same time, the Xuan Yuan Bead within him was crazily absorbing spiritual energy.

It had almost drained the spiritual energy of the cave, leaving very little.

And now Xiao Xiyue was also attempting Foundation Establishment.

Xiao Xiyue herself was condensing a perfect Dao base, which required far more spiritual energy than ordinary people.

In this situation, the cave’s spiritual energy was insufficient, making it difficult to support Xiao Xiyue’s successful condensation of her Dao base.
