Chapter 190 - Foundation Essence in the Form of a Nest

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:02:33
    At this moment, Ding Huan was already thin, and the only question that lingered in his mind was.

    How to ensure that one's foundation does not limit the height they can reach in the path of cultivation.

    Does his integration of gene spirit root cultivation involve a kind of spiritual root that is different from ordinary ones?

    Initially, he integrated the gene for injury recovery, the gene for detoxification, the virtual illusion eye...

    Ding Huan suddenly froze, hadn't he solved this problem before?

    He had once considered that regardless of which kind of gene ability he integrated, the integrated gene ability would be fixed at the level he obtained at that time.

    As his cultivation level rises, this ability will not be sufficient.

    To address this issue, he dissolved and eliminated unnecessary gene fragments, identifying the gene fragments of the abilities he needed, which are known as alien gene ability fragments.

    To transform alien gene ability fragments into skills and abilities of his own, it is not simply relying on alien gene talents.

    Rather than through the expression of alien genes, it converts this gene ability into attributes of his own.

    He succeeded and created a brand new gene.

    This brand new gene belongs to his own gene ability, which will also improve with his cultivation.

    Otherwise, how can he rely on the antitoxin gene of ordinary white-faced, thick-tailed monkeys to fight against Han Xia's illusory toxins?

    It's because the antitoxin gene on him is no longer that of the ordinary white-faced, thick-tailed monkey, but his own detoxification gene. This gene evolves with his increase in power.

    If so, his foundation can also refer to this method.

    It is to forge such a foundation, which must become more solid as his cultivation level rises.

    Absolutely, the later advancement cannot rely solely on the foundation he laid early on. If it does, no matter how profound his foundation is, there will be a day when it will eventually collapse.

    Then how can he make his foundation improve with his cultivation?

    Not correct, it should be that every time he practices, his foundation elevates accordingly.

    He is different from others; he is a gene spirit root...

    Gene spirit root?

    If so, why should he stick to the cultivation methods of ordinary people? What is refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, this has nothing to do with him?

    He just needs to make his gene spirit root stronger and stronger, and his cultivation method must also be in harmony with the gene spirit root.

    After integrating the antitoxin gene of white-faced, thick-tailed monkeys, he generated a detoxification gene; after integrating the recovery gene of fire lizards, he became stronger in healing from injuries...

    But he can't think about constantly integrating various genes to enhance his gene types and abilities all the time?

    In the vast universe, how many genes are there?

    If he has to extract each gene one by one, even if the speed of extraction is one minute per gene, he might never finish.

    Can he create a cultivation method, regardless of the location of practice, as long as there is a gene he needs in that place, he can choose to integrate or not integrate?

    As Ding Huan thought of this, an endless sea of gene knowledge and cultivation methods flooded his mind, as if Pandora's Box had been opened.

    Ding Huan's incredible willpower was also stunned by the overwhelming amount of information that came at him.

    He couldn't tell how much time had passed, but when Ding Huan spat out a gush of blood, he finally came to his senses.

    Rubbing his still-dazed head, Ding Huan swallowed a handful of energy capsules.

    He doesn't have a pill to cultivate without hunger, so he can only rely on energy capsules.

    It's not working, he can't go on like this.

    Relying solely on the network of consciousness is absolutely not enough to realize his idea.

    The reason is very simple. For Ding Huan at present, the network of consciousness is too limited, and it cannot accommodate his thoughts that are as expansive as a universe.

    He must have a more broad-based cultivation method platform, and then let his ideas flourish and bear fruit on this platform.

    Even if he integrates billions of genes, it won't cause his cultivation method platform to collapse.

    Such an endless cultivation method platform can only be the vast universe.

    No matter how many genes, no matter how many species, no matter how many lives, they are all within this boundless universe.

    As long as he doesn't put the boundless universe at his feet one day, his cultivation method will have no end, and his foundation will never collapse.

    Ding Huan's spiritual consciousness was refined within the boundless universe.

    At this moment, he once again thought of the boundless universe, even more eager to find his direction for cultivating the foundation of his own Dao within this endless space.

    The memory of the universe map, where he had trained his spiritual consciousness for two years, appeared in his mind. It transformed from blurred to clear, and then developed a sense of hierarchy...

    Amongst this boundless universe, he feels like a speck of dust.

    As a speck of dust appeared in his mind, Ding Huan felt that a clear star map emerged in his mind.

    Yes, he is now like star dust.

    Start from the dust.

    His Dao's first step is star dust. This grain of star dust wanders and drifts through the boundless universe.

    If he wants to stop wandering in the boundless universe, he needs to make this grain of star dust larger and stronger, transforming it into a nebula.

    At this moment, Ding Huan seems to have transformed into a newborn universe.

    His blood, flesh, bones, even his hair and breath, are all within this boundless universe.

    "Greatness has no corners, great vessels are hollow, great sounds are silent, great images are formless, the Tao is hidden in namelessness..."

    (Its meaning refers to the boundless universe, like a bamboo basket, the sky is filled with stars that are silent and invisible, there are countless profound secrets and cosmic laws hidden in it...) (This quote is from the Tao Te Ching.)

    Ding Huan unconsciously felt the first complete circuit, at this moment, he was the universe, his complete circuit was the universe's complete circuit, and the Dao laws he felt were his own cosmic laws...

    After the first complete circuit was completed, the mysterious feeling disappeared instantly.

    Ding Huan excitedly opened his eyes, realizing that he was not in the right place.

    The stardust realm he had deduced was equivalent to the early-stage of refining essence into qi, while the nebula realm he had deduced was what others referred to as the foundation establishment stage.

    With the boundless universe as the foundation of his Dao, as long as the universe exists, no matter how high his cultivation level rises, his foundation will never collapse.

    Ding Huan stood up, he had to leave Xifeng City and search for the location of the foundation.

    Compared to before, he was very clear about where he needed to go.

    That is, in the boundless starry sky, he needed to transform his network of consciousness through the new cultivation method, changing the Qi Refining period into the Star Dust period.

    As long as he creates a nebula, his boundless universe will have its initial form, and that is when he successfully establishes his foundation.

    "Big Brother Huan, you have finally emerged from seclusion...”

    Yan Miao looked at the emerging Ding Huan and stopped halfway through her sentence.

    It took several breaths before he stammered, "Big Brother Huan, how did you end up like this?"

    When others seclude themselves, not only do their cultivation levels improve, but their qi and spirit also enhance.

    Ding Huan secluded himself for several months, and upon emerging, he looked as though he had consumed the happiness vine for a month.

    Ding Huan's entire body was even more emaciated than Peng Lei, and his hair was disheveled. This is not what one would expect after consuming the happiness vine for several months.

    "I have been secluded for how long?" Ding Huan didn't show any concern.

    He even felt that these few months of seclusion would determine the height of his entire life.

    "More than three months, right? Oh, by the way, Nu Rong came to see you a few times during that time."

    Just as Yan Miao's voice fell, a woman's voice was heard outside:

    "Captain Yan, may I ask if Ding the cultivator has emerged from seclusion?"

    Ding Huan laughed and said:

    "Sister Rong, just happen to emerge from seclusion, please come in."

    Upon hearing Ding Huan's voice, Nu Rong hurriedly stepped into the courtyard. When she saw the state of Ding Huan, she was even more shocked than Yan Miao:

    "Ding the cultivator, what is this...?"

    Ding Huan waved his hand:

    "I have something to attend to and need to go out. What is it you needed to see me about?"

    Nu Rong quickly said:

    "I went to Zhen Yun Dao City and found that there is a sect looking for you. It seems to be the Shuang Hen Sect."

    Upon hearing this, Yan Miao involuntarily shivered.

    Shuang Hen Sect is the most feared sect for him.

    Ding Huan nodded:

    "Thank you, if they have their sights set on Zhen Yun Dao City, that means they are unlikely to find their way to Xifeng City in the short term."

    "Yes, I came to tell you this matter." Nu Rong finished speaking and wanted to leave.

    Ding Huan asked, "Mind if I ask why?"

    "Sister Rong, I'd like to ask if there's an easy way to leave the Triple Star Continent and head for the starry sky?"

    Nu Rong was startled for a moment, then said:

    "Within Dao Cultivation, there are many locations where one can travel to the starry sky, but these places are all controlled by sects or certain forces. Common people are not allowed to enter."

    There are some merchant guilds that can lead ordinary people into the starry sky, but for cultivators like us, it's somewhat difficult..."

    As she spoke, it seemed she remembered something and quickly said:

    "I remember mentioning to you before, Ding the cultivator, that there is a rumor about a vortex at Cang Jian Mountain that connects to the starry sky."

    However, there are many legends about this, and no one has confirmed it. Moreover, Cang Jian Mountain is shrouded in poison mist year-round, making it impossible to enter.

    Ding Huan's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked her again.

    Nu Rong also chatted for a few sentences and then proposed to leave. The main reason she came here was to remind Ding Huan that Shuang Hen Sect was searching for him.

    She is very appreciative of Ding Huan. She also guessed that the reason Ding Huan appeared in Xifeng City was probably due to his subpar talent.

    Otherwise, with Ding Huan's abilities and means, he would have been a disciple of a major sect by now.

    She came here to deliver the message, one was to cultivate a good relationship with Ding Huan, and the second was that she didn't want Ding Huan to be taken away by Shuang Hen Sect.

    "Big Brother Huan, are you leaving the Triple Star Continent?" Yan Miao asked anxiously.

    "You did a great job. Not only did you manage Xifeng City very well, but you have also cultivated your attainment to the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage."

    I'll go check Cang Jian Mountain first. If we can leave, I'll come back to pick you and Old Six up. If I don't come back to pick you up, just wait for me here." Ding Huan was very satisfied with Yan Miao.

    Yan Miao was overjoyed: "Thank you, Big Brother Huan."

    Ding Huan patted Yan Miao:

    "Have no worries, Shuang Hen Sect will not find this place for a long time, and they would never think that we are in such a low-level city."

    "I'm worried that someone might have gone to Zhen Yun Dao City like Sister Rong, and they might have told Shuang Hen Sect about our news." Yan Miao worriedly said.

    Ding Huan nodded: "The possibility exists, but it's very small. Sister Rong is in the real estate business, and with our help, we have a lot of crystals."

    "Who here in ordinary life has the right to go to Zhen Yun Dao City?"
