Breaking through the illusion of the mortal world

Chapter 63 Supreme Dao Foundation

In an instant, excruciating pain swept over Lu Ming's entire body, far exceeding the bone-refining and marrow-removing pain experienced during body tempering.

The ancient immortal path was like countless sharp blades, frantically tearing apart the Dao seed within the dantian, the sound of the Dao seed shattering echoing in the sea of ​​consciousness.

But with the help of the Martial Ancestor, the Dao Seed instantly condensed again.

The remaining sword spirit transformed into a silver streak of light, rushing straight to Lu Ming's Niwan Palace and impacting his soul.

The primordial power of the immortal realm surged through his dantian like a tsunami, threatening to shatter his physical body.

Lu Ming's body cracked and widened, and his soul was like a candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of collapse.

"Draw upon the primordial true qi to protect the Dao seed! Urge the sword intent to guide the sword spirit! Merge the hidden power of the primordial yellow to suppress the origin! Qiankun Furnace, suppress!"

The Martial Ancestor's shout rang out again, and the Qiankun Furnace surged with golden light, locking all the violent power within Lu Ming's body into his dantian. The illusory hands, like the most skilled swordsmiths, repeatedly pounded the various forces within his dantian.

Lu Ming used his last bit of clarity to circulate his Xuan Yuan True Qi into a protective shield, tightly enveloping the Dao Seed that was on the verge of shattering.

The Azure Lotus Sword Intent rose from the spiritual platform, transforming into a clear rainbow that slowly circled the Undying Sword Spirit, using the sharpness of the sword intent to guide the sword spirit's rage and gradually calm it down.

The primordial energy of the Xuanhuang Divine Treasury continuously surged into the dantian, intertwining with the Xuan Yuan True Qi to form a Xuanhuang barrier that firmly suppressed the impact of the primordial power of the Immortal Sword fragment, preventing it from spreading to the meridians throughout the body.

Lu Ming's dantian was repeatedly shattered and his meridians were repeatedly torn apart, but under the Martial Ancestor's intervention, each time it was instantly healed.

Using his own Ancestral Realm Battle Soul as a guide, the Martial Ancestor fused together the power of the Ancient Immortal Dao Principles, the Undying Sword Spirit, and the fragments of the Immortal Sword with the Dao Seed of Lu Ming, the Profound Origin True Qi, and the Hidden Power of the Profound Yellow.

The Immortal Ancient Path then transformed into the framework of the Dao Foundation.

The Mysterious Dao Seed transforms into the core of the Dao Foundation.

The power of the fragments of the Immortal Sword transformed into the foundation of the Dao.

The Undying Sword Spirit merged with the Azure Lotus Sword Intent, transforming into the sharpness of the Dao Foundation.

The primordial true qi and the hidden power of the primordial yellow then transform into the flesh and blood of the Dao foundation.

The Martial Ancestor firmly bound together all the powers, erasing all barriers.

The golden light of the Qiankun Furnace protected Lu Ming's physical body and soul, resisting most of the violent impact during the melting of the fragments.

The casting process took countless years.

Time seemed to stand still in the void, with only the sounds of forging within the dantian, the low hum of the sword spirit, and the resonant rhythm of the Nine Treasures' first opening, the golden light of the Qiankun Furnace intertwining with the immortal light.

The light soared into the sky, dispelling all the surrounding void energy.

Lu Ming's soul continued to solidify amidst the tearing and healing, while his physical body became increasingly resilient under the onslaught of violent power.

The Xuanhuang Divine Treasury resonated strongly with the forging power within the dantian.

The faint yellow light emanating from the Tanzhong acupoint and the golden light emanating from the Dantian complement each other.

A dark yellow pattern extends from the Xuanhuang Divine Treasury, reaching the dantian and intertwining with the ancient immortal patterns to form a cycle. The power of the Divine Treasury nourishes the Dao Foundation, and the power of the Dao Foundation nourishes the physical body.

Finally, as the Ancestral Realm Giant Hammer struck for the last time, the golden light of the Qiankun Furnace slowly faded, and the violent immortal light within Lu Ming's dantian gradually subsided, transforming into a deep, dark gold.

The fragment of the immortal sword completely merged with the Dao Seed, transforming into a dark gold Dao Foundation that merged into Lu Ming's dantian.

The foundation is covered with winding and intersecting ancient immortal patterns and mysterious yellow patterns, with the faint light of the Qingping sword intent and the immortal sword spirit flowing between the patterns.

Upon the foundation of the Dao, the profound true qi circulates slowly, integrating the qi and blood of martial arts and the spiritual power of immortality, with the Dao rhythm flowing endlessly.

The Xuanhuang Zang (玄黄藏) at the Tanzhong acupoint, through this Dao foundation resonance, achieves complete perfection of its original power.

A column of primordial yellow energy continuously surged from the Divine Treasury to the Dao Foundation, which in turn nourished the primordial true qi throughout the body's meridians.

The physical body, the foundation of the Dao, and the divine essence have become one, forming a perfect cycle.

"Boom!"

An aura, like the creation of chaos, surged forth from Lu Ming's body.

Lu Ming's cultivation level broke through suddenly, and the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique officially broke through the fourth level and entered the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Using fragments of an ancient immortal sword as the foundation, a supreme foundation integrating martial arts, Tao, sword, spirit, and divine essence is formed!

Once this foundation was established, Lu Ming's aura surged. Although he had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, his aura far surpassed that of an ordinary peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lu Ming's body is filled with a continuous flow of profound true qi, making his physical body incredibly strong, capable of withstanding the attacks of spiritual treasures.

The sword intent of Qingping merges with the undying sword spirit, making its sharpness even greater than before.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of dark gold Dao patterns and mysterious yellow light intertwined in his eyes. Yun Jianxue flew out from beside him on her own, and the sound of her sword resonated.

Faint ancient immortal patterns and Xuanhuang hidden patterns condensed on the sword, echoing his Dao foundation and Xuanhuang divine treasure. The sword moved with his heart, and his intention merged with the sword. The sword trembled slightly, and the sword intent and the true meaning of martial arts intertwined, making it infinitely powerful.

The illusory image of the Martial Ancestor had faded to almost transparent. He looked at Lu Ming as if admiring a peerless treasure.

The Martial Ancestor's voice carried a deep weariness and vicissitude, yet also a sense of relief: "The foundation of the Dao has been established, the profound energy has returned to one, the nine viscera have begun to resonate, and the path ahead has been opened."

Your path is a fusion of martial arts and Taoism, with the sword inheriting the ancient immortals, the immortal sword as its foundation, the divine treasure as its body, and the immortal source as its base—it is unique.

More than thirty years have passed in the outside world; do not let those who wait for you find themselves waiting in vain.

He paused, his ethereal figure swaying slightly in the ethereal wind, as if gazing back at a bygone era, his voice carrying an eternal loneliness:

"I have attained the Ancestral Realm, the pinnacle of martial arts. With all nine viscera opened and my physical body becoming one with heaven and earth, I could have transcended this era and sought the remnants of the Immortal Realm."

However, a century ago, the Heavenly Dao retreated, the Great Tide of Nothingness swept across, and the path to immortality was severed.

"To guard this last pure land in the mortal realm, I sealed myself here, guarding it alone for an entire era, battling the power of nothingness, witnessing the fall of immortals and the demise of the Dao. Even the power of my Nine Treasures has been largely depleted due to years of blocking the void."

"You must remember that the Eight Realms of Reversing Fate is of paramount importance in martial arts. When breaking through a realm, one must confront the cause and effect of heaven and earth and defy one's own destiny. Only after breaking through can one gain the power to change one's fate."

The Martial Ancestor's voice was solemn: "The calamity of the Ninth Era is an unprecedented catastrophe, far surpassing any previous one."

Since you have come here, it is by fate.

You open the Xuanhuang Treasury and inherit the supreme Dao foundation, combining Dao and martial arts, but you must walk your own path. Only by walking your own path and reaching its end can you attain the Ancestral Realm.

Although martial arts are divided into nine realms, only I can reach the Ancestral Realm, because I am the only one who is the source of this martial arts.

You must forge your own path in order to attain the Dao Ancestor realm.

Only in this way can they stand shoulder to shoulder with me when the great calamity comes, guarding this glimmer of hope for survival.

The words of the Martial Ancestor carried a loneliness and perseverance that transcended eternity.

As Lu Ming gazed at his almost transparent figure, feeling the desolation of guarding an entire era alone, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

Lu Ming's hot tears rolled down his cheeks, dripping into the void and turning into specks of light.

"This disciple will certainly live up to your expectations, senior!" Lu Ming bowed and kowtowed, his voice trembling but each word resounding.

"Alright, alright, you haven't spoken to anyone for an entire era, yet you're rambling on and on." Martial Ancestor smiled slightly.

The Martial Ancestor raised his illusory finger and made a sweeping motion in the air. The void suddenly cracked open, revealing a black passage. At the other end of the passage, the light and shadows of the outside world could be faintly seen.

"This is the passage to the outside world. Use the Xuan Yuan True Qi and Xuan Huang Hidden Power to protect yourself and avoid being harmed by the spatial turbulence."

Go. I... will continue to guard this place, blocking the void, awaiting the coming calamity.

With tears in his eyes, Lu Ming bowed deeply to the Martial Ancestor, remaining motionless for a long time. "Senior, take care!"

With endless respect and reluctance, Lu Ming got up and stepped into the passage.

The snow-covered clouds surrounded him, protecting him. The profound true qi of the dark gold foundation and the original light of the Xuanhuang Treasury intertwined to form a dazzling protective shield, enveloping his figure. His figure gradually disappeared into the void rift.

Martial Ancestor gazed in the direction where Lu Ming had disappeared, his illusory figure swaying gently in the void, murmuring softly, his voice almost inaudible, echoing through the desolate place:

"This is your ninth incarnation... You must succeed in your path..."
