Chapter 49: Building the Foundation with One’s Body
“Brother, you’re so amazing!”
Qin Xuan said excitedly.
“Alright, the situation here is resolved; you take everyone out of the secret realm.”
Qin Bei ruffled Qin Xuan’s hair and replied.
“What about you, brother?”
“It’s not easy to come in this time, so your sister-in-law and I have to complete the foundation before we leave.”
Qin Bei didn’t hide his intentions.
Now he was at the peak of the Qi training realm, naturally needing to finish building his foundation before leaving this Foundation Establishment Secret Realm.
“Sister-in-law? So that’s you! Why didn’t I know you got married, brother?”
Qin Xuan looked at Ji Zhuyue in surprise.
“These things will be explained when you leave the secret realm.”
“Um… people from the Beast Control Sect, you take everyone away first; I’ll catch up later.”
Qin Xuan turned to Beast Frenzy and said.
When speaking to them, Qin Xuan didn’t sound like a child; he was more like a superior.
The simple tone was clearly authoritative, ding-ding.
“Understood, Your Highness.”
Although Beast Frenzy felt displeased, he complied.
After everyone departed, Qin Xuan finally pulled something from his Cosmos Bag and handed it to Qin Bei.
“Brother, take this.”
Seeing the palm-sized flying sword Qin Xuan handed him, Qin Bei looked puzzled.
“What is this?”
“Take it with you; it will guide you to a canyon where there’s Heavenly Dao spiritual energy. You can complete the Heavenly Dao foundation there. I also set up a sword formation around; this is the key. However, there’s only enough space for one person to build a foundation in one place, so sister-in-law might only be able to establish her foundation underground.”
Qin Xuan looked at Ji Zhuyue, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Even though they were already family, Qin Xuan still felt a difference between relatives and strangers, with Qin Bei being obviously very important to him.
Qin Bei stared at the flying sword in Qin Xuan’s little hand, momentarily lost in thought.
The Foundation Establishment Secret Realm only opened once every three years, lasting only three months each time.
And there were incredibly few places with Heavenly Dao spiritual energy in this vast secret realm. It was already lucky if one person could complete the Heavenly Dao foundation each time it opened.
Yet, after Qin Xuan found the first place with Heavenly Dao spiritual energy, he didn’t think about completing his foundation; instead, he planned to seal it up for use later.
The reason he was certain Qin Xuan hadn’t gone looking for it after completing his foundation was that Qin Xuan was attacked by monsters while establishing his Heavenly Dao foundation.
Thus, he couldn’t possibly have time to search for Heavenly Dao spiritual energy later.
Such silent dedication reminded Qin Bei of some things from before he crossed over.
In terms of effort, Qin Xuan seemed more like that older brother.
If it weren’t for his predecessor bestowing good fortune, Qin Xuan should have been able to break through to foundation building at the age of eight; why wait until he was ten?
“Alright, from now on, I can handle these things myself.”
Qin Bei said with a smile.
He only felt the flying sword in his hand as heavy…
“I’ve known for a long time that you’re amazing, brother! After all, I’m so awesome; how could you be weaker than me?”
Qin Xuan also joyfully said.
“Alright, I’m off. You only have one month left; even though the underground foundation places are hard to find, I’ve located a few. This is the guiding flying sword. Sister-in-law, hold on to it.”
Ji Zhuyue took the flying sword, watching Qin Xuan’s departing figure with keen interest.
“Your brother is really quite advanced compared to his peers.”
Ji Zhuyue remarked.
“Little but clever.”
Qin Bei chuckled.
“Let’s go too.”
Just as Qin Bei finished speaking, a ball of white light shot toward him from the distance.
Ji Zhuyue instantly became cautious.
“Don’t be nervous; this is a good thing.”
Qin Bei gripped the white light in his hand, smiling.
“What is this? Such rich spiritual energy.”
Ji Zhuyue asked, looking curiously at the glowing orb in Qin Bei’s hand.
“This is what the Beast Taming Sect desires—the feedback from the Demon Suppression Tower!”
Qin Bei said with a grin.
“No wonder the Beast Taming Sect still wants this Demon Suppression Tower despite the pressure from so many sects. This feedback might allow someone to break through at least three minor realms in the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Ji Zhuyue sighed in realization.
“Let’s go; there’s only one month left.”
After securing the feedback from the Demon Suppression Tower, Qin Bei led Ji Zhuyue to follow the flying sword to the canyon Qin Xuan mentioned.
…
Several hours passed, and the flying sword finally came to a halt.
Qin Bei looked ahead and, sure enough, spotted a canyon.
He also felt the formation’s fluctuations nearby.
“This must be it.”
“Then you go in; I’ll check another area.”
Ji Zhuyue said.
However, what she really thought was to search for Heavenly Dao spiritual energy elsewhere.
If she truly couldn’t find it, she’d rather wait for another chance to break through.
After her re-cultivation, she realized that although the previous realms lacked power, they affected future developments.
If she wanted to become the ultimate powerhouse in the future, she needed to excel in those early realms.
Heavenly Dao foundation establishment was absolutely essential.
“Who says I’m going in? This is prepared for you.”
Qin Bei smiled at Ji Zhuyue.
“Hmm?”
Ji Zhuyue’s enchanting face showed a look of confusion.
“What? Don’t you want to complete the Heavenly Dao foundation?”
“Not that! Such a precious opportunity, you’re giving it to me?”
Ji Zhuyue struggled to believe her ears.
“The opportunity to build the Heavenly Dao foundation is indeed invaluable, but we’re family now, plus it seems you can only be my palm soldier. Giving it to you is also an investment in myself. What’s surprising about that?”
Qin Bei said with a calm smile.
Ji Zhuyue still felt a bit unreal.
This was a chance for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Just like Qin Xuan, he knew how treasured this opportunity was, so without a second thought, he handed it to Qin Bei without considering himself.
Of course, Ji Zhuyue couldn’t harbor any complaints.
“Alright, go in quickly. Though Heavenly Dao spiritual energy is hard to find, I don’t think it’ll be difficult for me. Don’t forget, I have the Floating Spirit Compass.”
Ji Zhuyue regarded Qin Bei earnestly.
Finally, she smiled sweetly.
“Okay, I’ll heed your advice.”
“That’s more like it.”
Qin Bei brushed a strand of Ji Zhuyue’s hair behind her ear.
This intimate gesture caught Ji Zhuyue off guard; had it been before entering the secret realm, she would have instinctively recoiled.
But now, her face merely turned slightly red, her ears felt warm, yet she didn’t step back at all.
She allowed Qin Bei to mess with her hair.
“Alright, get in quickly. I’ll come looking for you after you complete your foundation.”
“Mm~”
As she entered, Qin Bei smiled, watching Ji Zhuyue’s silhouette.
The Empress of the Wu Kingdom had bent down to marry him; the first goal had been achieved.
Qin Bei left.
He didn’t use the Floating Spirit Compass to search for a spot with Heavenly Dao spiritual energy.
Because while he wanted to grow stronger, he didn’t want to rely on the Heavenly Dao for strength!
To put it plainly, the Heavenly Dao foundation meant that the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dao’s will enters the body for foundation completion.
After completing this, the strength would be several times greater than that of ordinary foundation builders.
But all of this relied on that lofty and unpredictable heavenly will that could unleash thunder tribulations when displeased!
And all Qin Bei wanted was to rely solely on himself.
So the medium for his foundation establishment would be his own body, with no need for the heavenly will’s involvement.
Whether he was strong or weak, it was entirely up to him!
With his physical prowess surpassing both ancient and modern standards, if he completed such foundation building, perhaps the so-called Heavenly Dao foundation would be reduced to an even lower tier.
Before pursuing that, Qin Bei needed to fully grasp his suddenly enhanced strength.
And the method, naturally, was to find monsters in the secret realm to battle.
So… wham!
