You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 299 - 251 The Gap Between Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment

Chapter 299: Chapter 251 The Gap Between Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment

Just as Bai Zhenzhen was fiercely battling with numerous Qi Refinement masters, Zhang Yu also planted the Heavenly Spirit Root into his Dantian, initiating the fusion between the Spirit Root and his physical body.

What Zhang Yu chose this time for his Foundation Establishment was the Qi Sea Spirit Root.

Fu Ji said, "Different Spirit Roots have very different effects after Foundation Establishment."

"Using a combat Spirit Root for Foundation Establishment enhances combat power more rapidly, but in the long run, it’s not as promising as cultivating a Spirit Root."

"However, once you complete Foundation Establishment, you’ll need to fight, so some pure cultivation Spirit Roots aren’t very suitable for your current situation."

"Thinking it over, the Qi Sea Spirit Root is most suitable for you."

Zhang Yu agreed with Fu Ji’s suggestion.

The Qi Sea Spirit Root is nicknamed the Wall Piercer King; its greatest advantage is its expansive coverage, capable of penetrating various walls, structures, sand, and stone to collect spiritual mechanisms on a large scale.

It can enhance the efficiency of his future mana cultivation and improve mana recovery in battle.

Using the Qi Sea Spirit Root for Foundation Establishment is said to enhance both cultivation potential and combat power.

As Zhang Yu introduced the Qi Sea Spirit Root into his Dantian, it appeared as if the Spirit Root took root and sprouted, extending crystal-like tendrils that embedded into the surrounding mana.

In an instant, the surrounding spiritual mechanisms surged in, pouring into his Dantian with Zhang Yu’s breathing.

Subsequently, as Zhang Yu continuously infused mana into the Qi Sea Spirit Root, the Spirit Root seemed stimulated, continuing to take root and sprout, spreading throughout the entire Dantian.

When Zhang Yu injected 60 units of mana into the Spirit Root, the Spirit Root underwent a qualitative change; crystal-like tendrils extended and grew along the meridians.

The entire Qi Sea Spirit Root began to merge with the meridians throughout Zhang Yu’s body, starting from his Dantian, becoming a part of his body, a new organ.

Boom!

As the Spirit Root continued to merge, more and more spiritual mechanisms rushed in, and Zhang Yu could feel the range of his spiritual mechanism collection become increasingly larger.

From the initial 50 meters, it expanded step by step to 60 meters.

meters...

meters!

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt as if he had become a massive funnel within the world, voraciously devouring all spiritual mechanisms within a hundred meters.

"After becoming part of my body... is this the true power of the Qi Sea Spirit Root?"

Simultaneously, as the Qi Sea Spirit Root fully took root in the Dantian, its tendrils merged with his body’s meridians; Zhang Yu felt that with each breath, every pore absorbed the spiritual mechanisms of heaven and earth.

The speed of spiritual mechanism and mana flow through the meridians instantly increased several times over.

If initially, the flow of mana through the meridians was like a car driving along a mountain road.

Then, at this moment, as Zhang Yu activated mana through the meridians, it was like a car racing on a highway.

The efficiency of mana absorption, flow speed, scale of mobilization, and scale of output all skyrocketed at this moment.

With this frenzied increase in mana efficiency, Zhang Yu’s Immortal Path cultivation also underwent a qualitative change.

A flicker of understanding crossed Zhang Yu’s mind: "Mana... is like the power source of the Immortal Path."

"With the efficiency of this power source dramatically improving, every operation of all my cultivation techniques and the effects brought by them are enhanced."

"It’s as if the original bicycle has now been equipped with an engine..."

As spiritual mechanisms surged in, Zhang Yu’s mana, which had been depleted due to the fusion of the Spirit Root, began to recover rapidly.

Even when the mana was restored to 100 units, the refinement of mana did not cease.

Boom!

In an instant, the original boundary was broken, Zhang Yu’s mana directly surged past 100.1, continuing its wild ascent.

Evidently, with the fusion of the Spirit Root, Zhang Yu’s mana limit was also shattered.

This wild increase in mana only slowed down after reaching 180, eventually halting at 198.4.

Following this overflow beyond the limit of mana, Zhang Yu’s Dao Heart began to stir under the drive of mana.

So Zhang Yu visualized the Can Niu in his mind and began to operate the mental method.

Not the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique of the Qi Refinement Realm, but the Foundation Establishment Stage Can Niu Soul Heart Technique authorized this time by Deng Bingding.

Roar!

The Can Niu in his mind seemed to let out a skyward roar, as the surrounding mud rolled and surged, as if transforming into dark hands trying to drag it deeper into the mud swamp.

Yet the silhouette of the Can Niu expanded a circle larger, bearing scars from knives, swords, fire burns, and more; it was filled with a sense of holiness and emitted a faint white light.

The white Can Niu appeared increasingly exalted amidst the swirling black mud, increasingly unyielding.

Dao Heart Level 10 (100.0%) → Level 11 (0.1%)

After consecutive breakthroughs in mana and Dao Heart, Zhang Yu felt his physical body moving with excitement.

His muscles twisted all over, the surging mana being converted into Eternal Life Mana, beginning the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.

The body was like a long-dry land, frantically absorbing the nourishment of Eternal Life Mana, likewise breaking the boundary and enhancing physical strength to Level 10.01.

Dao Heart Level 11 (0.1%)

Mana 198.4

Physical Strength Level 10.01

Feeling the overwhelming, surging power within, Zhang Yu understood at that moment that he had truly stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

From this moment on, his Dao Heart, mana, and physical body could continue to improve.

Among them, the Dao Heart level’s upper limit reached Level 20, mana’s upper limit was 1000, and physical strength’s upper limit was Level 20.

But Zhang Yu did not continue to cultivate Dao Heart, mana, or physical strength, because these are hard to have significant improvement in a short period.

And at this moment, he urgently needed to enhance combat power, so the best method is...

Zhang Yu looked at the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force on his phone.

This was the last Foundation Establishment Stage Technique given to him by Deng Bingding after the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique and Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, also known as the former military-level technique.

Combat Technique — Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force Level 0 (0/1)

After switching Yu Shu to Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force, Zhang Yu also began to cultivate this technique that could only be practiced at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force... the Foundation Establishment Stage Technique created by the creator of Limitless Cloud Hand."

"Just like Limitless Cloud Hand, it doesn’t dwell on moves, just three moves back and forth, making it quite convenient for me to practice."

As Zhang Yu finished the first round of practicing the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force, countless images flashed through his mind, and his understanding of this technique had completely entered the beginner level.

Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force Level 1 (0/10)

"This technique and Limitless Cloud Hand are entirely derived from the same legacy..."

"It’s as if this technique was tailor-made for me, did Deng Bingding do this on purpose?"

When Zhang Yu cultivated the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force to Level 5, he could feel that the power of this former military-level technique had already surpassed any of his practical martial arts.

But Zhang Yu no longer had the mind to continue cultivating.

After all, every moment he cultivated further, Bai Zhenzhen’s danger increased considerably.

So Zhang Yu’s figure flickered, speeding towards the battlefield where Bai Zhenzhen was.

...

Zhang Yu had just arrived at the battlefield when he saw the scene of Bai Zhenzhen being captured by Zhou Yang.

Although he didn’t recognize who Zhou Yang was after altering his appearance and form, it didn’t stop the intense killing intent surging in Zhang Yu’s heart.

198.4 units of mana roared crazily within him, transforming into surging flows of milky white Formless Cloud Gang.

He did not use the newly cultivated Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force, as it was now his hidden trump card. At this moment, Zhang Yu only used Limitless Cloud Hand.

In the past, when Zhang Yu executed the Limitless Cloud Hand, the Gang Qi could only cover a few meters in range.

But now, after merging with the Qi Sea Spirit Root and stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm, Zhang Yu’s mana capacity, mana management efficiency, and output efficiency all far exceeded the limits of the Qi Refinement Realm.

In an instant, the Formless Cloud Gang had already enveloped tens of meters of the battlefield around him, like a rising fog.

Zhou Yang was momentarily stunned at the sound from within the thick fog, and in the next moment, he saw the opponent stepping on the cloud sea coming towards him.

At the same time, the Formless Cloud Gang around, unbeknownst to him, came rushing in like undercurrents from the sea, entangling Zhou Yang’s hands and feet, restricting his movements.

Bang!

Zhang Yu lightly pressed a palm towards Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang instinctively countered, using the Zhou Family’s Frosty Heaven Frozen Aura, sending a palm of resentful, corpse-cold power towards Zhang Yu. freёnovelkiss.com

The palms collided, accompanied by a faint bang, and Zhou Yang’s face drastically changed in an instant. The opponent’s palm seemed inconspicuous at first, but upon true contact, he felt the formidable power of the contained Formless Cloud Gang.

If the chill he unleashed was like a trickling stream, then the opponent’s Gang Qi was like a rushing river.

The Formless Cloud Gang tore through the chilly power with overwhelming force, pouring into Zhou Yang’s body, bursting through meridians, shattering bones...

Amidst the popping bursts, Zhou Yang’s right arm was suddenly smashed, turning into a mist of blood.

After being severely injured by a single palm, Zhou Yang sat down on the ground, shocked in his heart: "Foundation... Foundation Establishment! This is mana output level that can only be achieved in the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

Zhang Yu, as if treating him like air, silently walked to Bai Zhenzhen’s side, holding her in his arms.

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen’s pale face and injuries, Zhang Yu said, "Sorry, I’m late."

Bai Zhenzhen smiled slightly and said, "Isn’t this just in time?"

From the moment Zhang Yu entered the scene, to heavily injuring Zhou Yang with one move, and embracing Bai Zhenzhen, it only took a matter of seconds.

In those few seconds, the many Qi Refinement experts around didn’t stop their actions, already rushing into the fog, heading towards the direction where Bai Zhenzhen was remembered to be.

Facing the siege of more than ten Qi Refinement peak experts, Zhang Yu held Bai Zhenzhen in one arm and slightly exerted strength with the other palm, then launched a palm strike from a distance.

If earlier, for the sake of speed and to rescue Bai Zhenzhen first, Zhang Yu just did a simple attack on Zhou Yang.

Then at this moment, in his palm strike, Zhang Yu also integrated the techniques of Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand and Dragon Elephant Mountain Crashing Palm.

Though these two were only Qi Refinement Realm Martial Arts, at this moment, with Zhang Yu’s Foundation Establishment mana and Martial Arts Sacred Fetus, they unleashed unprecedented fierce palm strength.

The crowd only felt a burst of crackling explosions in the air, followed by a dragon’s roar.

Roar!

Ye Mantian felt as if a giant dragon in the cloud sea was roaring at him. He exerted all his strength, raising both palms, but still, he was shattered at a touch, with a bang, he was blown out, crashing into a small building.

Ye Mantian struggled to stand up but suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, feeling his internal organs shattered, his whole body with snapped tendons and broken bones, and with a bang, he kneeled on the ground.

When he looked up, he saw that the intense fog had spread apart with the violent wind stirred up by the explosion, revealing a scene like it had gone through a massive explosion.

And the many experts who were just bravely fighting, not one could still stand.

Some were embedded in the shattered walls, with only a part of their bodies exposed.

Some lay on the ground covered in blood, already unconscious.

Others were left with only severed limbs, without a complete corpse left.

And Ye Mantian looked at Zhang Yu standing at the center of the battlefield, one arm holding Bai Zhenzhen, his heart bitterly saying, "Foundation Establishment..."

At the same time, streams of Divine Power descended from the sky, as Wang Yin’s remotely activated surgery charm began healing Chi He, Ye Mantian, and others.

But even as they felt their injuries rapidly recovering, whether Chi He or Ye Mantian, the hearts of the many experts present turned cold, not daring to move at all, nor daring to show any hint of battle intent or hostility.

Because from Zhang Yu’s cold gaze, they read the same message.

Whoever moves, dies.
