The Path to Immortality

It was not until more than an hour later that the slightly long ceremony ended and the banquet outside finally started.

Jiang Yucheng walked out of the cave with a reserved smile and said a few polite words of hospitality to the many invited disciples.

For a moment, this newly promoted foundation-building cultivator became the focus of the scene.

Regardless of what the disciples thought in their hearts, their congratulations came like a tide, making Jiang Yucheng blush and feel very proud.

During this period, his eyes accidentally passed by Fang Ping's seat.

After recognizing Fang Ping, he seemed to nod, but the next moment he turned his head away as if nothing had happened.

"Uncle Foundation-Building Master, it's really glorious!"

Next to Fang Ping, a disciple at the same table couldn't help but mutter in envy, and almost said the following sentence "A real man should be like this".

Perhaps he felt that his gesture was enough, Jiang Yucheng raised his glass symbolically once, and then returned to the cave and never showed up again.

It is normal that the relationship gradually becomes distant as the status gap widens.

But not even the most basic greeting is a bit chilling.

Fang Ping sighed secretly, thinking of a poem he had seen somewhere.

"Even if the promise is temporarily granted, the heart is still wandering."

When he was promoted from the outer sect, the tactful and spring-like feeling of this senior brother was still in front of him.

Who would have thought that he would become so unfamiliar after only a hundred days of foundation building.

Fang Ping drank the spirit wine silently, waiting for other disciples to leave one after another, and returned to his cave without stopping and looking back.

In the inner sect, the two Taoist friends who had the most exchanges had already made attacks on the threshold of foundation building.

One unfortunately failed, and the other succeeded, but the relationship was visibly alienated.

Now, only he was left, still accumulating the foundation for taking the last step, waiting for the day when he would soar into the sky.

Calculating the time required, Fang Ping suppressed his restlessness and began a long period of closed-door cultivation.

At this moment, he only thought of one thing, that is, the great perfection of the twelfth level of Qi training!

………

Cultivation has no time.

It seemed that ten years passed by in the blink of an eye.

In the past ten years, the cultivation world of Liang State has been much more turbulent than in previous years.

In the Demon Realm of Qingyuan City, although the demons pouring out from the channel between the two realms have been endless, the legendary demon calamity has never really broken out in advance.

This made the Luoyang Sect and the Hehuan Sect, who were responsible for guarding the area, hesitant about whether to build a suppression formation, and the decision has not been made until now.

In addition to the troubles brought by the Demon Realm of Qingyuan City, the cultivation world of Liang State was not stable.

I don’t know if it was because of the long period of peace, the accumulated contradictions of the major forces in Liang State reached a certain bottleneck, or there was another reason in secret, anyway, the struggles between the major, medium and small sects and cultivator families were much more frequent than in previous years.

Even the robbery forces seem to have become more rampant.

Last year alone, several markets were robbed to varying degrees, causing heavy losses.

Any cultivator who has some understanding of the situation can feel the impending storm.

As for Yue and Chen, which are located to the north of Liang, it is said that they are also not peaceful.

Especially in Chen, which is located in the center of Yunzhou and has a Yuanying Zhenren sitting in the center, it is said that the power of the demon sect [Phantom Demon Sect] in the Chen cultivation world has exceeded the limit of the balance between immortals and demons.

Under the control of the demon master of the Phantom Demon Sect, even if it has not reached the level of covering the sky with one hand, it has suppressed the major righteous immortal sects.

It was all thanks to the great elder of the first righteous sect of Chen [Tianxing Sect], the Yuanying cultivator Tianhe Zhenren, who tried his best to support it, and the secret support from the immortal sects such as Gan and Yue, that the Phantom Demon Sect did not dominate alone.

But anyone can see that as the trend of the rise of the magic and the decline of the Tao becomes more and more obvious, even if the Tianxing Sect can get some support, it will still be more and more difficult and unable to support itself.

Once the Tianxing Sect is defeated, the Huanmo Sect will probably rule the entire Chen Kingdom overnight!

It is said that the few remaining Jindan immortal sects in the Chen Kingdom's cultivation world have secretly sent people to the Yue Kingdom in the south to prepare for retreat in advance.

For the Liang Kingdom, this is undoubtedly not good news.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there is the Yue Kingdom standing between the Chen Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom.

At least in the short term, the momentum of the Huanmo Sect and the magic path in the Chen Kingdom will not affect the safety of the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world.

………

Time slowly entered May.

This day.

Fang Ping in the cave, the blood and qi in his body surged and fluctuated sharply, and the whole person was like a furnace.

With the full operation of the Thick Earth Golden Body Technique and the True Fire Refining Body Technique, the strong blood and qi in his body made a gurgling sound like a stream, which even ordinary people could hear clearly.

The earthy yellow and dark golden light faintly blessed his skin, making him look as heavy as a mountain and difficult to shake.

"After ten years of hard practice, today I finally practiced the two major body-building techniques to the third level at the same time!"

At this moment, his physical strength is enough to withstand the full-strength attack of the top-grade magic weapon.

But for Fang Ping, the biggest improvement brought by this breakthrough is not the simple defense, but this strong body and physique itself.

He is almost certain that with his current physique, even without the help of any external force, he can survive the physical level of the third level of foundation building.

This is not arrogance, but full confidence in strength.

If such a physique can't withstand the physical barrier, then the cultivators who come from the casual cultivation background may never succeed in building the foundation!

Moreover, with the accumulation of ten years, it is not just the physical body that has broken through.

In terms of the soul, with the help of the secret method of Taiwei Yangshen Pian, Fang Ping's soul strength has already broken through the limit of the Qi training period under the daily unshakable practice.

In fact, he has recently had the illusion that his soul is too strong and wants to break free from the constraints of the body.

If he continues to accumulate like this, he may give birth to a spiritual consciousness before he can impact the foundation.

As for the mana, let alone.

The extremely powerful mana has already filled the entire Dantian.

Because the total amount is far more than that of ordinary Qi training tenth-level cultivators, and the mana is extremely pure, the mana that should be in gaseous form actually presents a bit of mist. Slowly rotating in the Dantian, forming a purple-red cyclone.

During Fang Ping's practice, there were even signs that the mana was out of control and tried to compress and condense into liquid to build the foundation on its own.

Fortunately, Fang Ping reacted in time and decisively stopped the process.

Otherwise, even if the foundation was successfully established, the possibility of perfect foundation would be missed, and Fang Ping would cry to death.

Unfortunately, although he is now very close to the twelfth level of Qi training, he is still a little short of the last step.

After practicing to this stage, even Fang Ping is not sure how long it will take to complete this missing last step.

One year at the fastest, three or two years at the slowest?

But no matter whether it is fast or slow, there is one thing he can start in advance.

That is: refining the foundation-building pill!
