Kong Ju felt secretly sorry when he saw that his foundation in Taoism had stopped at the peak of the Xuan level.
Even with the blessings of the Essence of Frost and Snow, the Divine Grade Ascension Pill, and the Dragon Transformation Tribulation, one is still unable to break into the Earth Rank. One can imagine how difficult it is to overcome the shackles of the Earth Rank.
"But it's too early to draw a conclusion now." Kong Ju's face suddenly became solemn.
He had just entered the Shenglun realm, and his foundation was not yet solid. Once he had fully integrated the power of the three, there was still a possibility of breaking into the Earth level.
Thinking of this, Kong Ju put aside all distractions and concentrated on practicing the Shenglun chapter of the Guanghan Taiyin Sutra.
Kong Ju is in seclusion, and has just entered the Ascension Wheel, so his foundation in Taoism needs to be further consolidated.
He also needs to slowly integrate the benefits of the essence of frost and snow, the medicinal properties of the Ascension Elixir, and the Transformation Dragon Tribulation to his Taoist foundation, which all takes time.
The Qinghu blessed land is undoubtedly the best place for retreat.
On the second day of Kong Ju's retreat, the snow and wind stopped.
With the center of the lake where he was in seclusion as the center, there was already a hundred miles of silver.
It snowed heavily for a whole day and night, and the weather was freezing cold.
The monsters in Qing Lake returned only after the snow stopped, chasing each other and playing on the frozen lake.
In the center of the ice and snow world where Kong Ju stood, a giant tree grew out from behind him.
The tree's crown is enormous, and the lush green leaves, larger than an adult's palm, gather together to form a green energy curtain that isolates the influence of the dragon's evil.
This allowed Kong Ju to retreat here with peace of mind, without being affected by the evil spirit of the dragon.
Long Shu really kept his promise and protected him.
The man and the tree stayed together in the center of this world of ice and snow, and no one knew how many days and nights had passed.
Spring goes and autumn comes.
The leaves of the big tree turned golden yellow and fell with the wind, landing on Kong Ji's hair and green shirt.
Autumn goes and winter arrives.
The fallen leaves had rotted and turned into dust on Kong Ju's clothes. The heavy snow covered the sky, burying him completely.
Time flies, spring comes back, and it is the season of lush grass and singing birds again.
Now, a whole year has passed since Kong Ju came to this blessed land of Qinghu Lake.
The monsters around the center of Qinghu Lake seemed to have become accustomed to this human standing under the giant tree like a clay sculpture or wooden statue.
Many brave monster cubs even tried to approach him, but were isolated ten feet away by the barrier supported by the giant trees.
Kong Ju sat there for a year, his blue shirt rotted away by the wind and sun.
Under the warm spring sunshine, many young seedlings of plants grew on the clothes.
Rustle~ The breeze blew on Kong Jue's face, making the green leaves of the giant tree behind him sway.
The wind was mixed with spring rain, brushing across the skin on Kong Jue's face, bringing a little bit of moisture.
Finally, in this spring rain, Kong Ju's eyes, which had been closed for a year, trembled slightly.
His eyelids slowly opened, and a hint of frosty white flashed in his pupils.
The moment his eyes opened, extreme coldness rushed out of his body.
The aura he exuded was surprisingly already at the Ascension Wheel realm.
During this year, he refined all the essence of frost and snow, the Ascension Pill, and the Dragon Transformation Tribulation into his Dao foundation, which became as smooth and perfect as a golden elixir.
With the help of these three forces, the Taoist foundation in Kong Ju's Dantian instantly burst into infinite golden light.
The golden ocean erupted from the center of the lake with Kong Ju as the center, turning this space into a golden world.
He was trying to break through the shackles of his earthly foundation.
Influenced by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth stirred by the foundation of Taoism, snow fell again in Qinghu Lake in March.
In the heavy snow, the Taoist foundation in Kong Ju's Dantian kept trembling. He vaguely felt that the door to the earth level was in front of him. He only needed to take one step forward. Just one step, and he could achieve the earth level Taoist foundation.
However, this one step away is like an insurmountable chasm in the face of the shackles of the earth-level foundation.
The golden light surged for a whole incense stick of time, but ultimately ended in regret.
No matter how hard Kong Ju tried, his Dao foundation could never shake the gate of the Earth Grade Dao foundation even a little bit.
"It seems that the opportunity is still not enough, and there is no hope of achieving the earth-level Taoist foundation." Kong Ju sighed, just when he was about to give up.
Bang! Between his brows, a moon mark suddenly appeared on his forehead, emitting a dreamlike moonlight glow.
Kong Ju looked stunned. He was surprised at the sudden appearance of the Moon Wheel Seal, and even more surprised at its current state.
The moment it appeared between the eyebrows, the entire mark began to shake wildly for no reason.
At this moment, it seemed to have turned into the bright moon in the sky, casting its brilliant white light.
Swish! The illusion of the Milky Way spread from the Moon Seal, filling this world of ice and snow with the boundless starry sky in an instant.
Kong Ju used his spiritual consciousness to pay close attention to the strange phenomenon of the moon seal between his eyebrows. Suddenly, a strange thought arose in his mind: "It seems that something is about to come out!"
Only then did he realize that there was something in the Moon Seal.
But that thing seemed to be restrained by something, no matter how the Taoist foundation in his body was stimulated or how the Moon Seal trembled.
It cannot step out of the Moon Seal.
Finally, under the surge of starlight, the existence in the moon mark suddenly became motionless.
The galactic vision was shattered.
Phew! The cold wind is still blowing.
The wind and snow blew on Kong Ju's face. He seemed to be immersed in the changes of the Moon Seal just now, and his eyes were thoughtful.
"There must be some secret in the Moon Seal. No wonder Yi Zi Twelve reminded me many times to perfect the Moon Seal."
Although he didn't know what was inside, but the moment the moonlight shone through the sky, his Dao foundation showed its eagerness, which clearly showed that the things inside would be of great help to his Dao foundation.
"What a pity. The things inside can only be taken out after the Moon Seal reaches a full moon."
Although we cannot get a glimpse of the spiritual creature in the Moon Seal, it exists in the Moon Seal after all.
As long as you practice until the full moon, it will always be yours.
Kong Ju suddenly felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
It laid a foundation for me to break through the earth level foundation in the future.
Kong Ju stopped struggling and closed his eyes to feel his current state of cultivation.
After becoming the Ascension Wheel, the spiritual power is as vast as the ocean, and the spiritual power between the Tao base and the heaven and earth resonates with each other.
If you mobilize a bit of spiritual power at will, the surrounding spiritual energy will move with it.
In this state, Kong Ju felt that he could soar into the air with just a thought.
"This is the rising wheel!" Kong Ju closed his eyes and felt the current situation, and there was some enlightenment in his eyes.
The reason why the Shenglun strongmen are so powerful is because of the existence of the Tao foundation, which enables the cultivators at this level to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use.
No matter what Taoist magic is performed, it is blessed by the terrifying spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
When he first entered the Ascension Wheel, he should be in the first of the five realms of the Ascension Wheel, the foundation-building realm.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Moreover, after Kong Ju refined the three energies, his realm was elevated. After a year of meditation, he was already in the middle stage of foundation building.
There is also the change in spiritual consciousness.
Jin Ming's soul-refining method also broke through the shackles as he officially entered the Ascension Wheel Realm.
The spiritual consciousness turned from virtual to real and condensed into a golden bean the size of a longan.
His spiritual sense expanded, and everything within a thousand feet radius was within his sight.
In this way, Kong Ju can also refine and control the intermediate puppet.
"It's a pity that Lingxi is dead, otherwise I would really like to fight him again." Feeling the changes in his own cultivation, Kong Ju's eyes flashed with unprecedented confidence.
Before, when he faced Lingxi, he always chose to run away if possible and tried to avoid fighting, all because Lingxi was a cultivator at the Shenglun realm.
Now that he has officially entered the Shenglun stage, the gap between him and Lingxi has been made up.
Only a war at this time can be considered fair.
Kong Ju, who knew all of Lingxi's cards, felt that his chance of winning was at least 50%.
Then there is the Moon Seal.
Kong Ju suddenly closed his eyes, and the moon mark that had just disappeared appeared again on his forehead.
This miraculous mark, which had just been revealed, was approaching a full moon as Kong Ju broke through the ascension wheel and bathed in the essence of the sun and the moon in this blessed land of Qinghu Lake for a whole year.
There is only one gap left to be filled.
I think when he reaches the peak of foundation building, or enters the fetal light realm, he will be able to complete it completely.
By then, the things inside should be able to be taken out.
“Once a Moon Seal of this degree sinks into Dantian, it will probably push my cultivation directly to the fetal light.” Kong Ju secretly estimated the impact that the Moon Seal could have on his cultivation.
The smile on his face became even brighter.
Although he had just entered the Ascension Wheel, even some veteran Ascension Wheel masters would not be able to gain an advantage over him.
"The only regret is that my Dao foundation has not been elevated to the Earth level."
The various blessings that Kong Ju received when he broke through the rising wheel were extreme.
It's the earth-grade essence of heaven and earth, the god-grade ascending elixir, and the dragon-transforming heavenly tribulation. Any one of them is hard to come by.
Even so, he was still one step away from reaching the Earth Grade Dao Foundation.
But Kong Ju did not complain, as he already had other plans in mind.
"My master once said to me when I inherited the Record of Snow Burial that the Moonlight Frost of the Snow Drinking Ancestor would be left to me."
"That is also a piece of earth-grade essence of heaven and earth, and it is of the same nature as mine."
“Maybe after absorbing it, my foundation of Taoism will be able to enter the earth level.”
No matter how cunning Huangfu Ying was, he still valued his promises.
Besides, I am his beloved disciple after all, and he will never go back on his promise.
"As soon as I return to Cangwu Sect, I will take the Moonlight Frost and ascend to the Earth-grade Dao Foundation."
With this thought in mind, Kong Ju slowly stood up from where he had been sitting cross-legged for a year.
His body had not moved for a year, and when he moved, his bones rubbed against each other, making a crackling sound like frying beans.
After practicing for so long, Kong Ju had never experienced seclusion for such a long time.
After stretching his body a little, he looked up to the sky.
The warm wind and spring rain blew on Kong Ju's face, and he felt surprisingly peaceful.
After standing for a long time, Kong Ju slowly turned around and bowed to the huge tree behind him, saying earnestly: "Thank you, Master Chang Qing, for protecting the Dao."
Although he had been in seclusion for the whole year, he still knew the situation in the outside world.
He knew that this giant tree had been protecting him for a year and keeping the dragon's evil out, otherwise how could he concentrate on his retreat with peace of mind.
However, for some reason, Long Shu did not respond.
Three breaths after Kong Ju bowed, he raised his head with a puzzled look on his face, looked at the huge tree in front of him, and shrugged his shoulders.
Long Shu's style of doing things has always been eccentric, and he is not very clear about the current situation of this Zao Xuan.
But he has been out for a whole year, and it's time for him to go back.
"I will take my leave now. I will come to congratulate Master Changqing when he finishes his retreat."
As expected, Long Shu still did not respond to Kong Ju.
He was no longer surprised and murmured, "I wonder how the battle went!"
After saying this, he took the tide-calling flute, broke through the air and went to the exit area of Qinghu blessed land.
The huge tree was left swaying in the wind. As the leaves touched each other gently, Long Shu's voice, which could barely conceal his emotions, could be heard faintly: "Essence of Taiyin!"
"How can he have the essence of Taiyin? Is he the direct descendant of some palace master?"
