Chapter 142: Chapter 141: Foundation Establishment Failure
Translator: 549690339
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
He Song, having had the experience of guarding someone else’s cultivation before, did not find it boring.
The Thick Earth Sect provided everything needed for outer disciples in their courtyards.
In these few days, besides occasionally checking the entrance to the quiet room, He Song spent most of his time immersed in studying the Array Tao Primary Introduction.
He had joined the Thick Earth Sect five years ago, becoming an outer disciple and selecting the Array Tao Primary Introduction from the Book Collection Pavilion.
Over these five years, He Song had been constantly studying the Array Tao Primary Introduction, making rapid progress.
However, even so, he still had not successfully laid out even the simplest array skill recorded in the Array Tao Primary Introduction.
The array skills recorded in the Array Tao Primary Introduction are more numerous and complicated than those in the Array Tao Introduction.
The knowledge of array tao within is also more profound.
However, since there are more array skills to learn, He Song no longer needs to study every single one.
He can learn the array skills recorded in the Array Tao Primary Introduction according to his own interests.
Those he doesn’t want to learn, he naturally doesn’t need to study.
For example, He Song was currently studying the simplest array skill recorded in the Array Tao Primary Introduction, called the Small Spirit-Gathering Array.
According to the description in the Array Tao Primary Introduction, the Spirit-Gathering Array recorded in the Array Tao Introduction is just an entry-level Miniature Spirit Gathering Array.
It has a small coverage area, and the gathered spirit Qi is relatively thin.
Meanwhile, the Small Spirit-Gathering Array recorded in the Array Tao Primary Introduction is an advanced version of the Miniature Spirit Gathering Array.
To set up the Miniature Spirit Gathering Array, one only needs to inscribe array patterns on spirit stones, which would create the Array Foundation.
But the Small Spirit-Gathering Array is different.
The Small Spirit-Gathering Array requires refining Array Banners and an Array Disk, then using a special method to control them, placing them in specific positions, and finally activating the array with a secret skill.
Because of the different array patterns carriers, the Small Spirit-Gathering Array’s power is naturally greater than that of the Miniature Spirit Gathering Array.
At the same time, arrays set up using Array Banners and an Array Disk are naturally much more potent than entry-level arrays.
Moreover, since Array Banners and Array Disks are harder to destroy, the chances of the array being forcibly broken are greatly reduced.
It can be said that the array skills recorded in the Array Tao Primary Introduction are far more powerful than the entry-level arrays recorded in the Array Tao Introduction.
At the same time, the required materials and the profound knowledge involved are not comparable to entry-level array skills.
It is for these reasons that He Song has been immersed in the study of the
Array Tao Primary Introduction for the past five years.
As for setting up a real array, he must wait until he has learned the layout method of the Small Spirit-Gathering Array and the refining methods for Array Banners and Array Disks.
Then he can leave the sect to search for the materials needed to refine Array Banners and Array Disks, and begin crafting them.
It is not until that time when he can set up an array.
Just like this, several more days passed.
On one day, He Song was studying the Array Tao Primary Introduction, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed the door to Wei Fan’s quiet room open.
Before He Song could react, a figure stumbled out and fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, He Song immediately rushed over and helped the fallen Wei Fan up.
“Wei?”
After helping Wei Fan sit down, He Song’s heart sank.
This was… a Foundation Establishment failure!
There was no formation of a spirit Qi vortex, nor the intense spiritual pressure that would appear after advancing to Foundation Establishment.
When Wei Fan stepped out of the quiet room, his face was extremely pale, and the next moment he fell to the ground, barely able to stand.
If he had not seen that Wei Fan had no visible injuries, He Song would have thought that he had been attacked.
But, how could someone have bypassed him when he was clearly guarding outside?
Therefore.
He Song only thought about it for a bit, and then understood what happened.
Wei Fan, first attempt at Foundation Establishment.
Failure!
Sitting on the side, a few breaths later.
Wei Fan’s originally pale face finally seemed somewhat better.
However, seeing the worried expression on He Song’s face in front of him, Wei Fan’s lips can’t help but form a bitter smile.
“Sigh, I truly experienced how hard this Foundation Establishment bottleneck is today.”
“Difficult, difficult, difficult!”
“As difficult as climbing to the sky!”
Shaking his head, a hint of panic flashed in Wei Fan’s eyes. It seemed as if he recalled something terrifying, causing his body to tremble for a moment. Seeing this, He Song’s face changed slightly, and he felt a sudden shadow in his heart.
Is Foundation Establishment really that difficult?
Why is Wei Fan so panicked about his failed Foundation Establishment this time?
What did he experience during these days?
And what caused his Foundation Establishment to fail this time?
A doubt flashed through his mind. He Song’s gaze towards Wei Fan also carried a trace of inquiry.
Before today.
Although He Song always thought that Foundation Establishment was hard, extremely hard.
However, with Meng Guan’s successful Foundation Establishment as a precedent, He Song actually began to underestimate Foundation Establishment.
With his unlimited lifespan and immortality.
Breaking through Foundation Establishment, no matter how difficult, there would always be a day to break through.
Even if he had to wait ten years after a failure to make another breakthrough attempt.
But as long as he didn’t die, his Foundation Establishment breakthrough would be inevitable.
But now.
Seeing Wei Fan’s strong panic after his failed Foundation Establishment and even trembling,
He Song had a deeper understanding of the difficulty of Foundation Establishment.
“Wei, did you encounter something?”
Handing Wei Fan a cup of tea, He Song took the opportunity to ask while Wei raised his teacup.
Wanting to know what Wei Fan experienced.
Asking directly would be the best method.
On the side.
Wei Fan, who just picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip.
Upon hearing He Song’s inquiry, he couldn’t help but recall everything he had experienced before.
His body unconsciously shivered again.
“It’s basically the same as what Lao Meng said before, but… if one fails to condense mana, their spirit power will scatter and attack their body.”
“Without a life-saving elixir, when spirit power scatters, it’s the moment when cultivators die.’
“If I hadn’t had the Foundation Establishment Elixir to save my life this time, I’m afraid I would have already died.”
There was a flash of fear in Wei Fan’s eyes, and as he spoke, he subconsciously looked towards his Elixir Field’s location.
At this time, although he seemed uninjured on the surface, his body was already filled with hidden injuries.
During the Foundation Establishment breakthrough, spirit power was compressed in his Elixir Field, and the birth of mana occurred there as well.
The spirit Qi wreaked havoc inside the body when spirit power scattered.
If it weren’t for the Foundation Establishment Elixir’s medicinal power to rapidly heal the injuries, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief internally.
At the same time, he felt great admiration for Meng Guan, who only took a Vein Protection Elixir and successfully broke through without the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
It’s important to know that.
Lao Meng initially wanted to start his Foundation Establishment breakthrough without even taking the Vein Protection Elixir..
