Chapter 149: Li Fan Initiates Foundation Establishment

Chapter 149: Li Fan Initiates Foundation Establishment

"The Tianxuan Minor Mirror, this is indeed a good thing."

Li Fan's eyes lit up.

"It should be the Tianxuan Minor Mirror that He Zhenghao used to track the price trends of Spirit Mist Grass."

"The initial version isn't too expensive, only five thousand contribution points."

"But the prices going up from there are outrageous."

"The version with cultivation function is fifty thousand contribution points. The one with defense capability is two hundred thousand contribution points."

"I can only look at it."

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Flags cost ten thousand contribution points."

"If both are bought together, it's thirteen thousand five hundred contribution points."

"Just enough."

"It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it."

After some hesitation, Li Fan decided to spend a huge sum to buy these two treasures.

Li Fan had seen the Tianxuan Minor Mirror and thus stored it in his storage ring without much inspection.

He carefully examined the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Flags: one flag was about half a person's height, black and yellow, with the words "Ten Thousand Immortals" written on it.

This was the main flag.

By touching it, one could sense the existence of the remaining three hundred and sixty-four auxiliary flags.

In addition to deploying the entire set of flags, there were three variations: thirty-six, seventy-two, and one hundred and eight.

The fewer flags used, the less powerful the formation, but the speed of setting the formation was considerably faster. It was suitable for self-defense when traveling.

Having gained some insight into formation techniques, Li Fan naturally understood the power of this miniature Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Satisfied, he stored them away and immediately rushed back to Mingyue Lake.

In the twenty-plus days, Su Xiaomei and the others had thoroughly explored the surroundings of Mingyue Lake.

Indeed, it was just an ordinary large lake, and there were no spiritual creatures nearby.

Li Fan chose a small island near the center of the lake and, using it as the center, arranged the three hundred and sixty-four Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Flags one by one.

With the main flag in place, the miniature Ten Thousand Immortals Formation took shape.

"I will be in seclusion here, so I've set up a formation. Remember not to intrude; otherwise, you will undoubtedly die."

"During my seclusion, you can choose suitable islands around to settle. If you're not satisfied, you can build your own island."

"When I come out of seclusion, I will expand the range of the formation to thirty miles. You can settle on islands within this range."

...

After some instructions, Li Fan activated the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, cutting off the line of sight inside and outside the formation.

Instead of immediately entering seclusion on the island, he submerged himself in the water and reached the lake bottom.

He found a giant rock on the lake bottom and hollowed it out.

Then, he used the Concealing Art the "Sun Stealing Technique" to conceal it.

Only then did he enter the stone chamber and start his seclusion.

The stone chamber was simple and empty, but Li Fan didn't mind.

Cross-legged, he floated in mid-air.

His consciousness was immersed in the Canghai Pearl.

Nineteen years after entering the cultivation world, Li Fan finally began Foundation Establishment.

"Steal Heavenly Treasures to establish the foundation of the Dao."

"The process of Foundation Establishment requires Heavenly Treasures. However, the word 'steal' is also crucial."

"Deception, not complete reliance."

"Heavenly Treasures, while gathering the laws of heaven and earth, still retain a bit of consciousness."

"For a cultivator to establish the foundation, they must transform the gathered laws from heaven and earth into their own Foundation Treasure while maintaining their own will and consciousness."

The Roots of Heaven and Earth, under Li Fan's control, attached to Canghai Pearl in his dantian.

In an instant, countless scenes appeared in his mind.

Those were the experiences of Cong Yunhai.

Accompanying them were extreme emotions like anger, unwillingness, resentment, and more.

Cong Yunhai's memories were too vast, like waves surging endlessly, never stopping.

If Li Fan accepted them rashly, with his current spiritual strength, he would be washed away by this massive influx of information and become an idiot.

So, what Li Fan did was stick to his original intention and ignore them.

Like a coastal reef, allowing the wind to blow and the waves to beat, he stood firm without moving.

And those negative emotions turned into nutrients for the Venerable Heart Refinement Mantra.

No impact on Li Fan whatsoever.

The Cong Yun Sea roared in anger, but Li Fan remained unmoved.

A faint blue light was slowly drawn out from Canghai Pearl by the Roots of Heaven and Earth.

A vast sea illusion gradually appeared in Li Fan's dantian.

...

Mingyue Lake.

Su Xiaomei and others were diligently establishing their own caves.

Suddenly, they felt something and looked around.

The sky was clear, but ripples appeared on the calm Mingyue Lake.

The lake water surged, and the waves grew higher.

The eight hundred miles of Mingyue Lake, at this moment, was boiling.

Giant waves lashed out, wreaking havoc in the lake.

The caves they had painstakingly carved out were instantly submerged.

Helpless, they could only fly into the air to avoid it.

"Is Master comprehending some kind of magical technique again? Just entering closed-door cultivation has caused such a large ruckus!"

Su Xiaomei blinked her big eyes, very curious.

The others couldn't answer, just watching the vast lake below in shock.

...

Lake bottom.

As the sea illusion gradually solidified with the continuous extraction of power from Canghai Pearl by the Roots of Heaven and Earth, Li Fan's vision slowly ascended from himself to mid-air.

It quickly spread to the surroundings, soon enveloping the entire Mingyue Lake.

This feeling was very familiar to Li Fan, exactly the same as when he merged into the Canghai Pearl back then.

However, why did it happen like this?

Li Fan was a bit puzzled.

The power of Canghai Pearl was continuously drawn out by the Roots of Heaven and Earth.

It was changing from real to illusory.

His own Foundation Treasure was about to take shape.

Everything was going smoothly and perfectly.

Why did he suddenly turn into Mingyue Lake?

Li Fan concentrated his mind and carefully pondered.

After a long time, he finally realized.

It was somewhat amusing.

It turned out that this abnormal scene was caused by the mischievousness of Canghai Pearl.

The Canghai Pearl, seeing that it was about to be transformed into the Foundation Treasure of a cultivator, vaguely sensed the existence of Mingyue Lake—a much weaker existence.

The vast Cong Yun Sea couldn't escape calamity, so why should this tiny Mingyue Lake live well?

So, Canghai Pearl, controlling its last bit of power, tried to pull down the Mingyue Lake.

This, of course, was futile.

A cultivator couldn't use two Heavenly Treasures simultaneously as their Foundation Treasure.

However, this action by Canghai Pearl brought unexpected benefits to Li Fan.

...

The waters of Mingyue Lake churned and surged, with huge waves towering.

This strange phenomenon lasted for a full eighteen days.

Su Xiaomei and the others had withdrawn to the lake shore, temporarily staying there, but they didn't leave.

One day, the turbulent lake water, which had been rushing violently, suddenly calmed down without any warning.

The people looked at each other and focused their attention on the small island where Li Fan was building his foundation.

Covered by the formation, shrouded in mysterious light, they couldn't see the situation inside.

After a short while, a figure soared into the sky from within, suspended in mid-air.

With fluttering sleeves and extraordinary demeanor, it was Li Fan, who had been in seclusion for a long time.

He extended his left hand, gazing down at Mingyue Lake, slowly clenching it.

It seemed like nothing happened.

"What is Master doing?" Su Xiaomei, with her hands propping up her chin, looked ahead, somewhat puzzled.

The others shook their heads, silent and unresponsive.

They just knew that Li Fan wouldn't do anything meaningless, so they stared at the lake, afraid of missing any details.

After a moment, they understood why Li Fan had acted the way he did.

In Li Fan's hand, as if in an instant, an infinite attractive force emerged.

The water of the eight hundred miles of Mingyue Lake formed dragon-like streams, continuously flying towards Li Fan's hand.

Countless white water dragons, as if paying homage to their master, soared from all parts of Mingyue Lake towards the sky.

Flying towards Li Fan in the air.

On Mingyue Lake, a person stood alone.

Three million water dragons danced, raising countless water mists.

Sunlight poured down, and a seven-colored rainbow appeared.

Su Xiaomei and the others were all dumbfounded, watching this magnificent and colorful scene.

They forgot to think.

As for the lake water dragons flying towards Li Fan's palm, they compressed and converged, forming a small water droplet.

The lake water continued to decrease, but the size of the water droplet remained constant.

Only its color gradually changed from white to deep blue.

Water dragons soared for half a day, and Mingyue Lake completely dried up.

Countless fish, shrimp, and crabs in the lake were lying on the lake bottom, suffocating to death.

Li Fan looked at the water droplet in his hand, somewhat similar to Canghai Pearl, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Place of Dao attainment..."

Although the Canghai Pearl didn't turn Mingyue Lake into a Foundation Treasure like itself, this action, under the coverage of the laws contained in Canghai Pearl, gradually assimilated the entire Mingyue Lake without anyone noticing.

And now, with Li Fan achieving Foundation Treasure through Canghai Pearl, he could manipulate the entire Mingyue Lake like a puppet.

In the ancient cultivation world, there were cultivators whose unintentional manifestation of the breath of the laws during enlightenment affected the surrounding environment.

These influenced places often carried the strong personal imprint of the enlightened cultivator.

It could even create a supernatural power out of thin air.

These places were called places of Dao attainment.

The situation of Mingyue Lake and Li Fan was similar.

But in fact, it was even more extreme.

In reality, Li Fan, with the help of Canghai Pearl, had turned Mingyue Lake into something like his treasure.

Inside this Mingyue Lake, the lake was him, and he was Mingyue Lake.

With full force, the might was second to none among Golden Core cultivators!

"Go!"

Li Fan crushed the water droplet in his hand.

Countless water droplets burst and scattered.

Then, they transformed back into flying water dragons, roaring as they returned to Mingyue Lake.

Mingyue Lake, having dried up quickly, became replenished.

After a while, it returned to its original appearance of vast and misty beauty.

With a wave of his hand, he transformed the eight hundred kilometers of water area.

However, Li Fan felt no joy in his heart.

It was similar to the previous situation with the Canghai Pearl; it was just an external force.

In the end, it wasn't his own power.

While contemplating, Li Fan opened the long-unseen ?? interface.

...

Physiological age had finally surpassed three hundred, and the upper limit of psychological age had reached over three thousand five hundred, still increasing.

Li Fan felt that his spiritual strength had increased several times compared to before.

The total amount of spiritual energy in his body was beyond comparison with the past.

Li Fan began to contemplate the next path of cultivation.

After Canghai Pearl transformed into the Foundation Treasure, it could no longer be easily manipulated like before.

It was as if it turned into a treasure, sealed within his body.

Continuous improvement of his cultivation was required to unlock this treasure.

The higher the unlocking degree, the higher the efficiency of its use.

Eventually, the power of the Canghai Pearl would be fully restored.

The entire process of Foundation Establishment cultivation was to transform the power of the Heavenly Treasure into one's own power.
