Foundations

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Soul raises its head, actively drawing in the soul energy pouring down from the chaos. Suddenly, the Divine Soul feels indescribable comfort.

At the same time.

Boom!

The originally small Sea of Consciousness continues to transform chaotic energy into soul energy. The more chaos energy transforms, the more benefits the Divine Soul receives.

At this moment, Han Yi's Divine Soul actively draws in the chaos energy, which means he is the one dominating this process rather than it happening naturally. As one can imagine, the increase in his soul's strength must be astonishing.

The Divine Soul Barrier.

As the physical body transforms, the magic swells, and the soul is infused, the five tribulations have already begun.

Han Yi's consciousness is instantly pulled into a bustling city. In the rainy cityscape, fog hovers, people carry umbrellas, and cars shuttle back and forth.

Seeing his surroundings, Han Yi's eyes are filled with confusion, as if he can't remember why he's here.

Wasn't he just working overtime in the office? How did he get here?

However, in the next moment,

His soul shakes, and he snaps back to reality, instantly recalling that he has already traversed worlds and is now in the midst of the Foundation Establishment stage tribulations.

The Mortal Dust Tribulation.

If it were before the transformation of his soul, Han Yi's consciousness might have been trapped in the city, fully able to forget his journey to the Cultivation World.

Work, marry, have children, reach middle age, struggle, retire, grow old, and die.

If no one safeguards his path during this process, Han Yi may sink into this world, forgetting everything about the Cultivation World. But when he dies in this world, his Divine Soul in the Cultivation World would also believe it is dead, disappearing in an instant.

However, training in the Ninefold Soul Tower has made his Divine Soul no weaker than that of the Foundation Establishment stage, so he is quickly able to recall this tribulation as soon as he enters the Mortal Dust Tribulation.

The next moment, the blurry city in front of him dissipates directly, vanishing like a bubble.

Han Yi's consciousness returns.

This entry and exit happen just within an instant.

Inside the quiet chamber on Zhu Rong Peak, Huo Ming sees Han Yi, who is meditating, suddenly open his eyes with a confused gaze. He knows that I lan Yi has fallen into the Mortal Dust Tribulation. Just as he is about to use his soul's voice to awaken him, he sees Han Yi's confusion dissipate in a flash, as he regains his sense and closes his eyes again.

“So fast.” Huo Ming raises his eyebrows, feeling quite surprised.

Huo Ming was not aware that Han Yi had already exchanged for the Ninefold Soul Tower before Huo Ming ascended to the Golden Core Stage, and therefore didn't know he had practiced this mysterious heritage.

After Han Yi's consciousness returns and he closes his eyes again, he comes to hear another clear voice entering his ears.

“Han Yi, with your terrible aptitude, your foundation building has already failed today. Disperse your magic power, and I can still save your life.”

The voice belongs to Huo Ming, but Han Yi remains unmoved.

On the Immortal Path, if someone really advised him not to establish his foundation, this person would be his enemy. He should try harder to establish his foundation, not allowing them to succeed.

“Hmph.”

“Han Yi, you're afraid of death, uncooperative when the sect is in trouble, and now you're recklessly establishing your foundation. You must plan to escape after your foundation is built.”

“You're so ungrateful, do you really think the sect is willing to safeguard your path?”

“Give up that thought, 1 will cripple you now, throw you down the mountain, and show the other disciples the consequences of fearing death.”

These few sentences are in Fu Xuanxu's voice.

Han Yi remains unmoved. After hearing Huo Ming's voice just now, he already knows that this is also one of the five tribulations.

The Heavenly Demon Calamity.

One of the reasons why foundation building is so difficult is that the Heavenly Demon Calamity can overlap with the Mortal Dust Tribulation. When sinking into the Mortal Dust, the seductions of the Heavenly Demon can lead to suicide. If he dies in the Mortal Dust Tribulation, he will vanish in the Cultivation World as well.

However, Han Yi's Mortal Dust Tribulation only lasts for an instant before he breaks free, which means the Heavenly Demon that descends can only try to confront him head-on.

Han Yi had taken a full ten top-quality exorcise evil spirits pills. Normally, the Heavenly Demon Calamity should pose no harm to him, and the strongest Heavenly Demon he should face would only be an ordinary one, not a powerful one equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage.

From Huo Ming, Fu Xuanxu, Fu Canghai, to Yuan Shun, Han Yi seems to turn a deaf ear to these Supreme Elders' words echoing in his ears.

A moment later.

No matter the scolding, temptation, or patient guidance, the voices abruptly vanish.

Han Yi breathes a sigh of relief, knowing that the Heavenly Demon Calamity has passed.

Next,

His consciousness revisits past scenes—disappointment, confusion, anger, resentment, despair, ecstasy, excitement, fear, and uneasiness from the Earth to the Cultivation World. However, relying on the strength of his soul, Han Yi eliminates all these desires one by one.

This tribulation was the Desire Tribulation, and it was simple for Han Yi to pass through. After traversing to the Cultivation World, he deeply understood the principles of life, cultivating for many years without indulging in worldly desires. Alongside his powerful Divine Soul, he easily eliminated his emotions.

After passing the Desire Tribulation.

Han Yi's vision flashed with rapidly changing images, finally stopping at a colorful photo.

It was a family portrait taken in his past life.

Then, the photo drifted into the depths of his Divine Soul.

The fifth tribulation, the Karma Tribulation.

The Karma Tribulation was not something that had to be passed through in order to reach the Foundation Establishment stage; rather, one needed to recognize and accept causality.

This tribulation would appear every time a major Realm was broken through after the Foundation Establishment stage. Before becoming an immortal, one needed to settle all the karmic consequences in order to truly ascend.

After understanding karma.

Han Yi's consciousness returned to his Divine Soul, which trembled violently.

He had an epiphany; the last of the five tribulations, the Heart Tribulation, had already been passed before this.

His Dao Heart had already been enlightened through internal and external trials, and it was unshakeable.

At this point.

Three checkpoints, the physical body, the mana, and the physical body again.

Five tribulations: Mortal Dust Tribulation, Heavenly Demon Calamity, Desire Tribulation, Karma Tribulation, and Heart Tribulation.

All passed.

The next moment.

All of Han Yi's senses returned, and his whole body trembled.

At this point, the difficulties had passed, and the Foundation Establishment stage was complete.

For ordinary cultivators during Foundation Establishment, what was next would be to consolidate their mana, cultivation base, Divine Soul, and give birth to their divine consciousness, like water flowing into a channel.

However, Han Yi was different.

After passing the three checkpoints and five tribulations, the illusory Soul Tower within his Divine Soul trembled gently.

An invisible wave spread out in all directions.

It struck his Sea of Consciousness first, which had not seen much change so far. After a violent tremble, it expanded rapidly.

Ten-fold, twenty-fold, thirty-fold, forty-fold, forty-fold and beyond, the expansion slowed down but continued to progress towards forty-nine-fold.

Three breaths later, it finally reached forty-nine-fold.

Then, the Sea of Consciousness Space paused for a breath's worth of time before breaking through to a new level without any surprises.

Fifty-fold.

At this moment, the Sea of Consciousness Space accelerated its expansion once again, and it was only until it reached seventy-fold that it started to slow down again. At eighty-fold, it became even slower, finally stopping at eighty-eight-fold.

Within this expanded eighty-eight-fold Sea of Consciousness Space, there was a dense aura of primordial chaos.

Next, Han Yi's Divine Soul would absorb this chaotic energy and inevitably become even stronger.

At the same time.

The expansion of the Sea of Consciousness also caused the Spirit Sea to become turbulent.

Inside the Spirit Sea, mana surged, rolling like waves.

The Spirit Sea, which had originally expanded tenfold, also expanded further and further.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, just as Han Yi's Sea of Consciousness broke through fifty-fold, a figure suddenly appeared on Zhu Rong Peak.

Huo Ming stood up abruptly, “Sect Master!”

The person who appeared at the highest tower of Zhu Rong Peak was none other than the Sect Master of Xuandan Sect, Yuan Shun. However, his condition at this moment was not good – his face was pale, and he had a weak aura.

Nevertheless, he did not respond to Huo Ming's words. Instead, he stared intently at Han Yi, his eyes showing a myriad of emotions very different from his pale face.

There was disbelief, surprise, bewilderment, and finally, a touch of relief.

“Yesterday's seeds have become today's results.”

“The Heaven evolves in 49 cycles, and it avoids one of them.”

“Haha, my Xuandan Sect finally has a glimmer of hope..”
