Chapter 129: Building the Foundation (Part 2)

After a month of consolidation, Zhou Xun's foundation-building stage has stabilized.

With Su Ming's pseudo-spiritual root qualifications, he was able to cultivate to the perfection of the Qi Refining Stage at this age, and was valued by the Jindan Zhenren. He must have a great opportunity.

Zhou Xun naturally would not make things difficult for Su Ming, and he had no intention of spying on Su Ming's opportunity, so he took the initiative to leave the cave, leaving Su Ming alone in the cave.

Su Ming was of course happy to accept Zhou Xun's sense of propriety.

After all, what Su Ming was going to do next was indeed not suitable for anyone to see.

After running the mana to dispel all the remaining mana aura of Zhou Xun in the cave, Su Ming took out a blue light flashing array diagram, and without affecting the operation of the cave array, he arranged the water spirit gathering array within a ten-foot range of the cushion.

Su Ming kept reciting the spells in his hands, and made some changes while opening the water spirit gathering array, so that this array only filtered the water-based heaven and earth spiritual energy, and did not actively gather spirits.

After all, the concentration of spiritual energy here has already reached the second-level middle grade, so there is no need to continue to increase its concentration of spiritual energy. It is only necessary to make sure that when Su Ming is in seclusion, the surrounding area is full of water-based spiritual energy.

After arranging the formation, Su Ming sat cross-legged on the futon and closed his eyes, looking like he was resting his mind.

But in fact, Su Ming's consciousness has already come to the Hetu space, and relying on the whole process of Zhou Xun's breakthrough in the foundation-building period, combined with his years of meticulous research on the water-based spiritual roots and the water jade body, he began to deduce the specific method of the "Water Virtue Formation".

Only half a day had passed, and Su Ming opened his eyes with a smile on his face.

"My speculation is indeed correct. With the whole process of my senior brother's breakthrough in the foundation-building period, the difficulty of deducing the Water Virtue Formation has indeed been greatly reduced..."

"If this continues, in less than two months, the specific method of engraving the "Water Virtue Formation" can be completely deduced!"

Su Ming, whose spiritual consciousness was somewhat consumed, looked a little pale, but his eyes were full of joy.

After his consciousness was fully restored, Su Ming's consciousness fell into the River Map space again, and he continued to deduce the Water Virtue Array with the treasure in his mind.

In this process of deduction day after day, two months passed in a flash.

......

"No, what is missing?!"

"Why is the Water Virtue Array and the Body Carving Array Method always a little different when deduced to the end!"

"What step am I still missing?!"

Two months later, Su Ming's eyes were full of bloodshot, his expression was full of confusion, and he muttered unconsciously.

Half a month ago, Su Ming had deduced the Water Virtue Array to the last step, but he was stuck at this last step. Even with the terrifying deduction effect of the River Map and Luoshu, he could not cross it.

No matter what direction and what means were used to deduce and combine the method, there was always a step missing, and this method could not be perfected.

For a while, Su Ming was a little confused.

"Is my idea wrong?"

"It is impossible to artificially obtain a spiritual body through the means of formations..."

Su Ming did not give up, and took out the "Spiritual Root Theory" from the storage bag and read it again.

It contains the lifelong research of the old demon Jindan on spiritual roots. All the deductions of Su Ming are based on this "Spiritual Root Theory".

Otherwise, with Su Ming's cultivation in the Qi Refining Period, how could he have the ability to study the mysterious spiritual roots in the body of the cultivator.

Everything is just standing on the shoulders of the "giant", and then through the heaven-defying effect of the River Map and Luoshu, the birth of the method of carving the formation with the body was born.

If the "Spiritual Root Theory" itself is wrong and has huge loopholes, then it is not surprising that Su Ming's deduction of the "Water Virtue Formation" was stuck at the last step.

Su Ming read the "Spiritual Root Theory" for three days without sleep, and deduced it tens of thousands of times in the River Map space, but in the end it was still a little short, and the method was never perfect.

Just this little bit, like a natural moat, trapped Su Ming.

When Su Ming was about to give up on deducing the Water Virtue Formation and giving up this imperfect "result", he turned to the first page of "Spiritual Root Theory" as if possessed by a ghost.

Twenty blood-red characters came into Su Ming's eyes.

"The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency; the way of man is to reduce the deficiency and increase the surplus!"

Looking at the opening words of "Spiritual Root Theory", the confusion in Su Ming's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by self-mockery.

"Hahaha! Hahaha..."

Some crazy laughter echoed in the cave. Su Ming put "Spiritual Root Theory" back into the storage bag and raised his hand to slap himself:

"Su Ming, Su Ming, how arrogant you are! How stupid!"

With a crisp sound, the confusion in Su Ming's eyes dissipated and he regained clarity.

"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine heavenly ways, and one is missing!"

"Even the lofty heavenly way cannot be perfect. How can you, a cultivator like an ant, pursue the so-called perfection?!"

"There is no such thing as perfection in the universe..."

"The existence of a perfect thing is the biggest imperfection!"

......

As Su Ming's self-mockery echoed in the cave, he seemed to see a glimmer of the great way in his trance.

Almost driven by instinct, Su Ming took out the soul-nourishing liquid given by Fang Yuechan and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the soul-nourishing liquid took effect, Su Ming's consciousness, which was already far superior to that of his peers and reached two hundred feet, surged again, and finally expanded to two hundred and sixty-four feet, close to half of the foundation-building cultivator.

As Su Ming's consciousness continued to grow, he felt that he had come to a vast and boundless ocean, and he was like a drop of water in the ocean, drifting with the current.

Su Ming's consciousness began to blur, but his expression was always peaceful and smiling, like a child who had a beautiful dream and fell asleep.

Floating and fluttering...

Su Ming's heart was floating in the ocean, and everything became quiet, empty, empty, and ethereal...

Everything in the ocean seemed to be an extension of Su Ming's heart, allowing his consciousness to transform first in a trance, and his magic power began to operate automatically.

Following a completely different route from the "Water Spirit Sutra", a series of mysterious array patterns appeared in Su Ming's body as if they were natural.

The array patterns were engraved on Su Ming's flesh, bones, meridians, dantian, and even quietly emerged on the invisible and intangible Yuanshen.

The water spirit gathering array started to operate autonomously at some point, as if it was resonating, absorbing all the water spirits in the vicinity. A large amount of water spirits almost turned Su Ming into a spirit cocoon.

As time passed, two extremely mysterious arrays emerged in Su Ming's body under the connection of the array patterns.

The two arrays that could not resonate at first gradually intertwined and entangled after Su Ming's consciousness joined, and finally gradually turned into a whole.

The way of man is to take away what is insufficient and add what is more...

Su Ming used his body as the array diagram, turned this ray of the avenue into the array eye, and integrated his own spirit into the array pattern, and finally turned it into a "water virtue array" that was ingenious.

When the array was completed, the consciousness barrier had ended silently, and a large amount of water spirits turned into cocoons began to gradually dissipate, and all rushed to drill into Su Ming's body.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the physical barrier to end.

Under the autonomous operation of the Water Virtue Formation, the mana in Su Ming's body began to compress and become more and more pure.

Even without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the first drop of liquid mana appeared silently in Su Ming's Dantian.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

Along with the birth of liquid spiritual power, it eventually turned into a lake of mana.

In this unconscious state, Su Ming successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
