Catching the Dao Rhyme, inscribing Dao Patterns, the foundation of the Great Dao, is cast from this!

Within the Dantian, a five-inch tall, half-white-half-black eight-petal Spirit Flower glints brilliantly, with five Spirit Buds above, white, blue, black, red, and yellow colors flowing, circulating endlessly, eternally vibrant.

Previously fully surging, the Divine Sense, resonating and attracting with the Heaven and Earth Dao, now curls back in the Niwan Palace, stirring up heavy waves.

Stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Divine Soul receives the Dao Rhyme’s baptism and tempering, made more tenacious and robust, thus allowing the Divine Sense to be significantly enhanced. For the average cultivator, only from this point can one maneuver Spiritual Artifacts and utilize various Secret Techniques that demand greater expenditure. For ordinary Array Cultivators, during Qi Cultivation, they merely lay the groundwork, but upon reaching Foundation Establishment, the Divine Sense becomes sufficient to deeply comprehend the mysteries of arrays.

However, for Lu Qian, his formidable Consciousness Collection is a treasure unto himself, enabling him to step early into the realm of Arrays. At Qi Cultivation Perfection, his Divine Sense had already surpassed the average Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment. Now, his Divine Sense makes further progress, exceeding Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, nearly approaching Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Yet, the percentage of this growth has distinctly declined. With each ascension of realm, the additional increase in Divine Sense brought by the Consciousness Collection diminishes. It’s like a mineral vein gradually running dry, its yield beginning to decline.

Lu Qian has no doubt, if this continues, within one or two more advancements, the growth of his Divine Sense will revert to normal levels, no different from others.

Although by that time, due to early accumulation, he would have far surpassed ordinary cultivators in total capacity, as everyone’s cultivation heightens again, the gap will gradually narrow with continuous breakthroughs.

Therefore, Lu Qian’s urgency to uncover the mysteries of the Consciousness Collection grows increasingly acute, seeking further research into his own Consciousness Collection to aim for extended periods of amplification.

Fang Hui, Honored Guest Fang... How long must he wait to find this person?

Lu Qian’s Divine Thought activates, returning to his body from Heart and Breath Interdependent and Great Calm Void. At that moment, the Spirit Flower trembles, causing a strong feeling of emptiness and hunger to emanate from within the Dantian, compelling him to take a deep breath.

The Bailu Mountain Spirit Vein abruptly quakes, Spiritual Qi surges forth like a fountain, transforming into a long rainbow shooting towards the pavilion, and the Spiritual Qi dispersed across the entire mountain gathers like waves stirred by a whirlwind.

All eyes widen, shocked as they gaze above the pavilion, Spiritual Qi rolling, Spiritual Light dazzling, a gigantic vortex of Spiritual Qi suddenly forms, entirely rushing into the pavilion, drawn empty by Lu Qian’s apertures throughout his body.

The Spirit Flower within the Dantian emits radiant brilliance, greedily swallowing the rolling Spiritual Qi, converting it into unstable Spiritual Power.

Lu Qian’s Divine Sense stirs, beginning the Circulation according to the Yunshan Sect’s inherited Hidden Cloud Scripture’s Foundation Establishment Scroll, swiftly transforming the unstable Spiritual Power through one circulation into pure Spiritual Power, firmly anchored by the Spirit Flower within the Dantian.

With Spiritual Root blooming buds, the speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi multiplies, and adding the Celestial-Human Synchrony after Foundation Establishment succeeded, the speed of conversion from Spiritual Qi to Spiritual Power is astonishing, comparable to years ago when absorbing Innate Spiritual Qi.

Rolling Spiritual Qi makes transits around Lu Qian’s meridians one circle after another, and in a blink, the Spiritual Power within Lu Qian’s Dantian continuously fills.

Like a parched pond finally receiving a torrent of clear spring, Lu Qian lets out a sigh of satisfaction.

Sensing the increasingly intense Spiritual Pressure within the pavilion, the cultivators in the mountain rejoice, knowing Lu Qian is about to emerge at any moment.

At that very instant, a crisp sound of a crack is heard, the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein extracted by Lu Qian, cannot supply the Five Elements Grand Array, causing the Array Light Shield to suddenly be shattered by Yang Jiye and his companions.

Once the array activates, it isolates inside and out, cutting off Divine Sense, rendering Communication Talismans, Thousand-Mile Mirrors, and other means reliant on Spiritual Power entirely ineffective, leaving only voice as the mode of communication.

Consequently, Yang Jiye is naturally unaware, on Bailu Mountain, Lu Qian has achieved Foundation Establishment success, he shouts aloud, ready to lead his force in.

The Shuangye Alliance cultivators responsible for defense get tense, their Magical Artifacts soar into the air from their arms, Zheng Duan realizes he cannot allow both sides to truly clash, his palm turns over, pressing a Spirit Crystal onto the Array Map.

He is unaware of the array’s consumption, worried he may inadvertently harm Yang Jiye and his men, hence he only presses one crystal.

The Array Map immediately drains its Spiritual Qi, this unmanned Death Array performs according to pre-recorded sequence, first generating rolling Spiritual Mist, swallowing Yang Jiye and his companions who have rushed halfway.

With the surge of Spiritual Mist, the group naturally releases Divine Sense, resulting in Qi Cultivators feeling distorted senses, shifting positions, amidst a spinning world, nearly falling off their Flying Spiritual Artifact if not for Yang Jiye catching hold of them.

"Don’t move recklessly, this mist is peculiar!"

Yang Jiye shouts, his Divine Sense also suppressed to only one square meter around him, with no direction discernible.

His Flying Sword flickers as if instant teleporting several times, slashing wildly alas it passes through the mist without effect.

Instantly, regret arises in his heart. His Dao Patterns aren’t adept at large-scale attack, lacking effective methods for dispelling this mist.

And after wandering for three years, strapped for cash, he managed to acquire a pair of offensive and defensive Spiritual Artifacts, harder still without a Spiritual Artifact capable of massive attack.

Frustrated, he orders, "Everyone stay put, be wary of enemy attacks!"

As he speaks, taking out a stack of Foundation Establishment Wood Talismans, resorting to using Talismans and Magic Techniques to clear the mist.

However, before he acts, the mist rapidly disperses, the Spirit Crystal having been completely exhausted.

Though confused, Yang Jiye rejoices greatly, ready to charge forth.

Zheng Duan sighs again, about to add another Spirit Stone, when suddenly the Golden Silk Jade Scroll Array Map’s light flashes, soaring to the sky, falling into someone’s hands!

A figure tall and slim, face veiled by cloud mist, raven-colored long robe flutters in the wind, the majestic Spiritual Pressure commands reverence within hearts. His presence magnetically seizes everyone’s gaze.

It’s Lu Qian! Lu Qian has emerged!

No sooner than everyone can express joyous cheers, Lu Qian moves, the Array Map in his hand sparkling brilliantly, transforming into a dazzling Escape Light shooting up, straight into the array.

Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar, flying with a Spiritual Artifact!

In an instant within the grand array, centering on Yang Jiye and his group, Spiritual Mist churns up, engulfing their forms.

Suspended with the Golden Silk Jade Scroll Array Map, Lu Qian stands in the air. His Divine Sense stirs, instantly comprehending, within the mist are one Foundation Establishment, eight Late-Stage Qi Cultivators, two Mid-Stage Qi Cultivators.

After Foundation Establishment, the Dantian Spiritual Root transforms into Spirit Buds and Flowers, its capacity for storing Spiritual Power qualitatively enhances.

Currently, the Spiritual Power within Lu Qian’s Dantian is precisely five times that at Qi Cultivation Perfection, merely relying on personal Spiritual Power, he can now execute five paths of Triple Transformation, not needing to burn Spirit Stones generally.

Typically, cultivators always possess surplus Spiritual Power but lack Divine Sense, however with Lu Qian’s present surpassing Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, he too may employ five paths of Triple Transformation, perfectly harmonizing Spiritual Power with Divine Sense in this regard.

Invading the grand array during his own Foundation Establishment, if they’re foes not friends, Lu Qian will surely not be polite.

The Divine Sense rolls, hand-held Array Map light flashes, Earthly Branch Xin Metal Divine Lock instantly materializes, striking Yang Jiye like lightning!

Within his Dantian, five-colored Dao Patterns blaze brightly above the Spirit Bud, already activated!
