#6 - Chapter 6 Heavenly Dao Foundation Building

You have been slaying demons for thirty years, which also marks the thirtieth year of the war between the righteous and the demonic. For the righteous path, these thirty years have been far from optimistic, with the demonic path generally holding the upper hand.

Especially in Blackwater County, most of the towns and strongholds have fallen. Now, only two major cities remain in the hands of the righteous alliance.

These thirty years have also been devastating for Blackwater Market. Originally, besides Fairy Rainbow Dress, who was in the mid-stage of Core Formation, the City Lord's Mansion also had two early-stage Core Formation cultivators and several Pseudo-Core cultivators. However, in these thirty years, three Pseudo-Core cultivators have fallen, and even one of the two early-stage Core Formation cultivators has perished.

The ferocity of the demonic path is evident.

Of course, where there is life, there is death. In these thirty years, the righteous path has lost a generation, but also a new force has emerged.

Among them, the most famous is the Black Fire Daoist of the Wang family.

This person successfully established his foundation twenty-eight years ago. It is said that there were celestial phenomena. After leaving seclusion, he even used his Foundation Establishment first-layer cultivation to challenge a demonic cultivator at the Foundation Establishment third-layer, and since then, he has become famous in the righteous path, and received rewards and audiences with Fairy Rainbow Dress.

Moreover, the Black Fire Daoist's cultivation speed is extremely fast. Now, the Black Fire Daoist has actually reached the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment. In just twenty-eight years, from the first layer of Foundation Establishment to the seventh layer, this speed is truly amazing.

Such a genius performance has led many righteous alliance members to regard the Black Fire Daoist as a Core Formation seed for the righteous alliance. Fairy Rainbow Dress even promised that when the Black Fire Daoist reaches the tenth layer of Foundation Establishment, the City Lord's Mansion will present a Core Formation spiritual object.

"Black Fire Daoist..."

Looking at the updated text on the panel, Lin Changqing fell into deep thought.

The few lines of text about the Black Fire Daoist that the panel updated made him feel something was wrong.

He remembered that the Black Fire Daoist's talent was a middle-grade spiritual root, which could only be considered average, and he had been stuck at the tenth level of Qi training for more than twenty years.

But the panel showed that the Black Fire Daoist would quickly advance from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the seventh level in the next thirty years.

This kind of cultivation speed is definitely not normal!

Moreover, the panel mentioned that there were celestial phenomena when the Black Fire Daoist established his foundation.

"Celestial phenomena when establishing the foundation, could it be Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment? If it is Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, then it can explain his fast cultivation speed in the future."

"But Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment can generally only be achieved by geniuses with heavenly spiritual roots."

Lin Changqing thought, spiritual roots are divided into low-grade spiritual roots, middle-grade spiritual roots, high-grade spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots, and heavenly spiritual roots.

Generally speaking, the upper, middle, and lower grades of spiritual roots are the same if they establish a foundation.

Earth spiritual root foundation establishment is called Earth Dao Foundation Establishment, and the mana will be twice as much as cultivators in the same realm.

Heavenly spiritual root foundation establishment is called Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and the mana will be five times higher than cultivators in the same realm.

The Black Fire Daoist in the simulation performed like a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

The first layer of Foundation Establishment challenges the third layer of Foundation Establishment.

Cultivation base rapidly improves, rising seven levels in twenty-nine years.

This is something only heavenly spiritual roots can do.

But the Black Fire Daoist is clearly only a middle-grade spiritual root.

"Could it be because of the opportunity in the Golden Sun Secret Realm?"

Lin Changqing's mind flashed, and he felt this was possible.

He suddenly realized that perhaps the Golden Sun Secret Realm contained a great opportunity that could allow an ordinary person to achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment that only heavenly spiritual roots could complete.

"If that's the case, the next simulation..."

Lin Changqing suddenly wanted to know what kind of opportunity was hidden in the Golden Sun Secret Realm that could allow the Black Fire Daoist to undergo such a transformation and complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

Just as Lin Changqing was thinking about the Golden Sun Secret Realm, the panel began to update the text again.

Recently, some intelligence from Blackwater Market shows that Jianqiu City, one of the only two remaining major cities in Blackwater County, is being besieged by the demonic path.

Jianqiu City is located in a strategic location in Blackwater County. Once it falls, the fall of Blackwater County may only be a matter of time. Therefore, Blackwater Market decided to send people to rescue it. Fairy Rainbow Dress sent an early-stage Core Formation cultivator, two Pseudo-Core cultivators, and a large number of law enforcement team members to rescue it.

You have also been conscripted. On the eve of the expedition, you stayed up late in your camp tent, looking at the sword. The Mu Xuan Sword, which has been with you for thirty years, is now a high-grade magic weapon.

In these thirty years, you have not mistreated this sword that has followed you for thirty years.

You used contribution points to exchange for many rare refining materials to upgrade it to a high-grade magic weapon.

The Mu Xuan Sword is more beautiful than it was thirty years ago, exuding a jade-like luster all over its body, and the sword is sharper than it was thirty years ago, but in the dim candlelight, your shadow is much older than it was thirty years ago...

Dreaming of the continuous horns and camps, drunk, I raised the lamp to look at the sword, and suddenly I remembered this poem from the previous life.

While you were looking at the sword by the lamp, after a while, many of your old team members came to ask you to drink, calling you, the old captain.

In these thirty years, you have brought out many team members. Some of them were very young and died in the war in a few years, and some were lucky enough to survive and improve their cultivation.

You went. Many people were drunk that night. It was a cold night, the autumn moon was like a shuttle, and an old team member said sadly: "Old captain, do you still remember Li Er? If he knew that you, the old captain, had become the captain and had already reached the ninth level of Qi training, he would be very happy."

Hearing this, you felt恍惚. That was an old team member who had followed you for more than ten years, but unfortunately, he died at the hands of a demonic cultivator ten years ago.

War is like this, people are constantly dying, regardless of anyone's joys and sorrows.

The next day, the City Lord's Mansion rescue team set off. You led the seventh team, a total of two hundred casual cultivator team members. Some of these team members were old team members who had followed you for more than twenty years, and some had just joined the team.

Looking at these faces, some familiar and some young, you couldn't help but sigh in your heart, how many of these rescuers can return this time?

It takes about a day's journey from Blackwater Market to Jianqiu City, and everyone is very silent along the way.

This should have been an extremely prosperous route, but now...

Bones exposed in the wilderness, no sound of chickens for miles.

Many of your team members couldn't bear to see these scenes, many turned their heads away, and some even cried. Some of these villages and towns turned into ruins were their homes.

Fingers brushed over the words, Lin Changqing sighed.

A sentence that the demonic path occupies the upper hand, and the righteous alliance only has two major cities left in Blackwater County.

From this line, you may not feel the cruelty of war.

But after this road of scenes, watching the desolate towns one by one.

The original prosperous scene, bones all over the ground.

Then you know the cruelty of the war launched by the demonic path.

The exercises and magic weapons practiced by these demonic cubs, the Soul Banner, and the Skull Sword all need to be sacrificed with human lives.

These ordinary people are taken by them as nourishment to improve their strength.

Looking at the bones all over the ground and the desolate scene, you are very silent. In these thirty years, you have killed many demonic people, but it is useless.

You, who are at the ninth level of Qi training, can only kill some small fish and shrimps. Your power cannot reverse the war situation at all.

Only by reaching Foundation Establishment, or even becoming Core Formation, can you have a certain impact on this war.
