After tilling the field and working the land, he returned to his freshly cleaned cabin and prepared himself a feast to refresh and cleanse away the dirt.

Well-fed and content with wine, he returned to his bed, instinctively pulling the blanket over himself, Xu Yang was about to sink into a deep slumber again.

This time, he had set two goals for himself.

First, in the Dream World, explore the Black Water Forbidden Area to find the Divine Mansion divine seal mentioned by the Giant Turtle.

Second, in the real world, break through the Condensing Spirit Ultimate Realm and step into the tier comparable to Foundation Establishment, known as Embracing Core.

Exploring the Black Water Forbidden Area required no specific technique, merely the endurance of time.

In the reality of over a year and a decade in Black Water, Xu Yang continued his exploration. Although he still found no clues, he believed that perseverance would pay off eventually, for heaven rewards the diligent.

On the contrary, the real challenge was breaking through the Condensing Spirit Ultimate Realm and mastering Embracing Core co-dao.

In the Great Tang world, Xu Yang had already broken through once, successfully embraced the core, and entered the fifth realm.

However, that breakthrough was achieved through a shortcut, leveraging the vast Essence provided by the Evil Emperor’s relics. It was not through his own strength but with the aid of external forces that he broke through the bottleneck, and it was not reproducible in reality.

How to achieve a normal breakthrough?

Based on Xu Yang’s experience in the Great Tang world, including that of Song Que, Shi Zhixuan, and some successors, as well as the descriptions and practices of β€œFoundation Establishment” in the cultivation techniques of this world, the breakthrough should be like this.

To step into the fifth realm, whether for the Martial Path Condensing Spirit or Cultivation Qi Refinement, one must first cultivate the foundation of the fourth realm, the β€œflesh,” β€œDivine Soul, ” and β€œInner Yuan” to perfection.

Xu Yang had already met this condition. He was a Grandmaster of Condensing Spirit, with dual cultivation in body training. His flesh and Divine Soul were both accomplished, and as for Inner Yuan, his Martial Arts Scripture techniques combined with skill traits had long since reached fruition.

Once the body, Divine Soul, and Inner Yuan are perfected, one can attempt to break through the realm.

The method of breakthrough is quite simple – fusion!

The flesh, Divine Soul, and Inner Yuan must be merged into one, seamless and flawless, to step into the fifth stage of cultivation, be it Martial Path Embracing Core or Cultivation Foundation Establishment.

This concept is also hinted at in the names of the realms.

Martial Path Embracing Core is not about condensing a Golden Core, but embracing the Dantian, implying that a martial artist’s cultivation has reached internal and external perfection, flawless and complete like a world of its own, embracing the Dantian, the heart of this world, within itself.

Cultivation Foundation Establishment describes the process more accurately: tri-element integration to establish the foundation of the path, merging internal and external into one, forming the internal world of Cultivation. The future Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even the Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit, will all be nurtured based on this foundation.

Therefore, the key to breaking the barrier lies in fusion.

With successful fusion, one accomplishes Martial Path Embracing Core and Cultivation Foundation Establishment.

But the question is, how to fuse?

There are two methods.

First, self-cultivation, letting fate decide, refining the flesh, Divine Soul, and Inner Yuan to their limits and allowing them to fuse on their own. When the mind and spirit intersect and the Dharma body unites, the three elements become one, naturally breaking through to the fifth tier.

Second, seeking external assistance to achieve one’s own goal, consuming Spirit Pills or treasures of heaven and earth to lend a powerful external force to help merge the β€œthree elements” and ultimately break through to the fifth realm.

The first method needs no explanation, relying half on strength and half on luck.

The latter is different, depending on one’s wealth, background, and methods.

In the Cultivation World, there exists a pill called β€œFoundation Building Pill.” Solo breakthroughs, left to fate, carry enormous risks.

If successful, all is well, but if not, the clash of the three forces can at best result in a deviation and an uncontrollable burst of mana, which recoils against the flesh and Divine Soul, destroying the foundation of one’s cultivation. At worst, it can lead to a fatal explosion, obliterating both body and soul.

The Foundation Building Pill not only helps the β€œthree forces” merge but also prevents the clash that could occur upon a failed merger, avoiding uncontrollable mana that can ruin the foundation of cultivation. It is an essential Spirit Pill for anyone seeking to establish their foundation.

In the Great Tang world, he had seen many Grandmasters at the peak of

Condensing Spirit die from exploding bodies because they failed at Embracing Core and co-dao. Even with his cultivation and medical skills at the time, he was unable to save them, or rather, there was simply no time for rescue.

If there were Foundation Building Pills, then the number of experts in the Great Tang who could embrace the core, co-dao, and break through the Broken Void would definitely be more than just Song Que, Shi Zhixuan, and the few that came after.

This shows the importance of the Foundation Building Pill.

Reality is not a dream world, and in this aspect, no mistakes can be tolerated. Unless a Skill Trait effective in this situation is revealed, Xu Yang will definitely need to take a Foundation Building Pill as a safety measure against failure.

But the problem was, where would he find a Foundation Building Pill?

Although the price of a Foundation Building Pill in the marketplace was mostly around two to three thousand Spirit Stones, the listed price was one thing, how they were actually sold was another.

These pills were not directly sold in the marketplace of Foundation Establishment powers. They had to wait for major auction events to possibly be presented for auction, where competition was fierce. Starting bids at two thousand, and the final transaction price was usually around four to five thousand or sometimes even surged to seven to eight thousand.

Golden Core powers did have them for sale in their marketplaces, but they were similarly expensive. Moreover, around the marketplaces of Golden Core powers, there lurked a large number of Robbing Cultivators. They might not rob other items, but Foundation Building Pills…

This was still the lowest quality Foundation Building Pill, which could only ensure that if Foundation Establishment failed, the β€œTri-element conflict” would not destroy one’s foundation.

To purchase good or even superior quality Foundation Building Pills, which could effectively support β€œTri-element integration”, one would need more Spirit Stones, and it would attract even more attention.

For a Qi Cultivation cultivator who had reached full circle, seeking these items was far too dangerous.

Even for Thunder Cultivators, there were no exceptions.

Fortunately, Xu Yang already had a strategy.

If buying was not safe, how about making them himself?

Could he craft Foundation Building Pills?

Yes, absolutely!

Although it’s called a Foundation Building Pill, it is still technically categorized as a β€œtier one” Qi Refinement level elixir.

Theoretically, a tier one Pill Master could also make Foundation Building Pills, but the success rate would be extremely low.

Materials for Foundation Building Pills were exceedingly precious, and a single failure would be costly, not to mention for a tier one Pill Master, even tier two Pill Masters would be significantly impacted.

Therefore, it was generally only tier three Pill Masters who could stably produce Foundation Building Pills.

This was also why the marketplaces of major Golden Core powers could sell Foundation Building Pills directly.

Without the backing of Golden Core powers, how could they afford to employ a tier three Pill Master?

But none of these were problems for Xu Yang.

A low success rate?

Just keep practicing.

As long as he kept practicing and refining his technique, then even as a tier one Pill Master, he could increase the success rate of crafting Foundation Building Pills.

After all, he had Zhuanzhou Mengdie. The differences in the flow of time and the resources from various worlds could fully support his production of

Foundation Building Pills.

Moreover, he could also attempt breakthroughs in dreams, accumulating experience time after time, improving the β€œFoundation Establishment” success rate.

He didn’t even need to refine pills in the real world. He could simply utilize the resources in the Dream World to craft the Foundation Building Pills, or find treasures such as the Evil Emperor’s relics, and then use the power of his Divine Soul to transfer them back. Either way, he could achieve his goal.

It’s truly said, β€œIn dreams, one can find a beauty’s grace, in dreams, comes a house of gold”!

So, without a doubt, he would continue dreaming, for in dreams, he had everything..
