n262 Building the Foundation (1)

nIn the void, a cold breeze gently blew. The space within a radius of several dozen meters instantly fell into a deathly silence.

nJiang Ming cursed. However, it was too late to escape.

nThe invisible power of Nirvana came down. Even if the black wind had not touched his body, Jiang Ming felt terrified.

nOn the surface of his body, wounds burst open in an instant, and a destructive aura quickly seeped into him, as if it wanted to kill all the life in this place.

nThankfully, the inextinguishable origin light burst out and healed him. With a slight shake, the faint light pervaded and drove out all the external power of the black wind.

n“According to the black sword’s description, the black wind here is only slightly contaminated with the aura of the Nirvana Wind. Despite that, it’s already so terrifying. How terrifying would the true Nirvana Wind be?”

nJiang Ming stared at the front and guessed whether the Nirvana Wind from the previous era really existed in the core of the Black Wind Demonic Abyss.

n“If anyone obtains this power, no one in the world can stop them,” Jiang Ming thought and then shook his head. This idea was too whimsical.

nJiang Ming stepped on a bone and instantly broke it into pieces. The remaining ashes flew in the wind.

nJiang Ming glanced at the broken bones and thought to himself, “I’ve already gone more than a hundred miles deep into the Black Wind Demonic Abyss. The black wind can be seen everywhere, and the number of skeletons I’ve encountered is getting smaller. This means that almost no one dares go so deep. Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years will die if they’re not careful. However, to be safe, let’s go a little deeper. With the indestructible origin light, as long as I don’t encounter a demonic wind that can destroy my physical body in an instant, my movements won’t be affected. I can cultivate in peace!”

nAfter going about two hundred miles into the Black Wind Demonic Abyss, Jiang Ming finally stopped and did not dare go any further.

nHe looked around and saw that the sky was dark, and he could not see the way forward. As the wind and clouds collided, thick streaks of lightning slithered between the sky and the earth, erupting with terrifyingly destructive power.

nDeep in this place, even when the black wind did not appear, the surface of Jiang Ming’s body was constantly covered in tiny wounds, which were quickly repaired.

nThe inextinguishable origin light was a blessing. Otherwise, Jiang Ming would have already been torn into pieces.

n“However, I’ve already reached my limit. Although the inextinguishable origin light is powerful, my physical body is still too weak. I can’t fully unleash the power of the inextinguishable origin light. If I go any further and encounter an even more terrifying black wind, I will probably be killed in an instant, even if I can rebuild his body. The loss outweighs the gain!”

nJiang Ming was weighing the pros and cons in his heart. His purpose in coming here was not to explore. It was to build a foundation and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm with the help of the great cultivation.

n“Moreover, perception and spiritual energy are extremely limited here. The probability of meeting others here is next to zero.”

nWith this in mind, Jiang Ming no longer continued to go deeper. However, he looked for a suitable place to cultivate nearby.

nAfter being eroded by the black wind for countless years, the terrain of this place had undergone all kinds of strange changes. All kinds of oddly shaped mountains and valleys could be seen everywhere.

nIt only took Jiang Ming a moment to find an underground gully formed by erosion, and he hid in a crevice that could accommodate him.

nEven in this place, it was impossible to avoid the erosion of the power of Nirvana, and the black wind could suddenly appear in the void at any time. However, the probability of being discovered was much smaller.

nSitting cross-legged in the dark underground gully, although there was intense pain coming from his body, Jiang Ming seemed to have adapted to this pain. It was as if he was in some kind of cruel cultivation.

nWhile the wind and thunder were raging outside, Jiang Ming’s mind slowly calmed down. “The path of immortality is far, and the Foundation Establishment Realm is the beginning. The Qi Refinement Realm is just the prelude to immortal cultivation. It’s just mortals stealing the power of heaven and earth. Building the spiritual foundation is considered the first step on the immortal path. Only then can one be qualified to pursue the immortal path!”

nJiang Ming recalled the knowledge he had on the Foundation Establishment Realm and thought about how to proceed on his own Foundation Establishment Realm path.

n“If you want to temper your spiritual energy into a base, you need to have extremely condensed spiritual energy as well as perfect control of it. Only then will there be a slight possibility of success. Almost all of the individual cultivators don’t pay attention to the control and tempering of their spiritual energy during their Qi Refinement Realm. Even if they get a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation technique, they can’t complete this step. If they fail to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, it’s possible that their spiritual core will shatter, and their decades or even centuries of cultivation will be destroyed in a day!”
