Chapter 163: Dao Foundation Nine Grades, No Regretting?

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Dao Foundation Nine Grades, No Regretting?

Option One: The most basic one was to sacrifice eight techniques to nurture a principle one, achieving a Magic Door and forming the most common lower three-grade Dao Foundation.

In other words, when the Nine Techniques merged, one would serve as the main body, with the remaining eight as auxiliary, only retaining the effect of one technique and enhancing it to achieve a Magic Door ultimately.

Most people choosing this path would pick one direction for their Nine Techniques.

For example, during their child phase, one would learn nine speed techniques, like Godspeed, Featherfall, Gale, etc. Upon advancing to the melting phase, one would use eight speed techniques as the foundation and one as the core, gathering the power of the eight techniques to nourish one, ultimately achieving a lower grade Technique in the speed direction.

The Dao Foundation created in this way was mostly of the Lower Three Grades, even supplemented with Class A spiritual items, it would only reach the Middle Three Grades, and a Fourth Grade Dao Foundation at most, rarely making it to the Upper Three Grades.

Option Two: Still following the precedent, but with a comprehensive set of Nine Techniques, ultimately forming a new Magic Door.

The result still was to strengthen one technique and achieve the Power of the Magic Door, but the remaining eight techniques would have their functionalities retained to a certain extent. Of course, only one technique would possess the Power of the Magic Door.

The remaining eight techniques would only be moderately strengthened.

Such a Dao Foundation generally sat between the Lower Three Grades and Middle Three Grades. Only those able to obtain Class A spiritual items, coupled with a stroke of luck, could barely make it into the Upper Three Grades.

The final option was to fuse the Nine Techniques independently, initiating a new system, constructing a Magic Door of one’s own.

The Dao Foundation built through this way not only preserved the effects of all nine techniques but also spawn an extra power of one’s own Magic Door.

Using the method to construct a Dao Foundation and applying Class A spiritual items, one would always achieve an Upper Three Grade Dao Foundation. Still, whether it was a third-grade, second-grade, or even a first-grade, all depended on oneself.

It was easy to get third grade, second grade was difficult, while a first-grade Dao Foundation... required great fortune, opportunity, and talent for one to get their hands on it. Lack any of these three, and one might end up with just a second-grade.

Swarms of information flashed through Wang Zijia’s mind. He steadied his mood swiftly, no longer hesitating. His hands formed seals according to the guidance of the Cultivation Method and started his breakthrough.

With Wang Zijia’s movements, his whole body’s mana started to ferment, and a pull force emerged from his Dantian again.

Four prepared runes were put into the Dantian by Wang Zijia. Following an invisible feeling, he started to build up his Magic Door. In the process, Wang Zijia flipped his hand, swallowing the scent of the Meat Zongzi spiritual object first.

Upon entering the mouth, a Class A spiritual object transformed into a special Extraordinary Characteristics. Because it was scarce, it only had the most basic bit- therefore weak, but also incredibly pure, free of any impurities.

The spiritual object hadn’t rushed into the Dantian when it began to dissipate. Already prepared, Wang Zijia arrived at the Sea of Consciousness. Watching the flickering Light Point Counterweight, seemingly disappearing any moment next, he did not hesitate and directly exchanged the more than ten thousand value stored in his Spiritual Roots right away.

The flickering counterweight instantaneously stabilized. The pure, Extraordinary Characteristics in his body quickly inflated, managing to assemble large halves in the blink of an eye.

Counterweight: Meat Zongzi

Level: Class A Superior

Status: Pure Newborn

Value: 14648

Intro: The top-grade spiritual object from the meat-earth category, contains extremely pure Extraordinary Characteristics, extremely suitable for the hosting of Meat-earth-series Magic Doors, and the consolidation of related Dao Foundations. However, as of now, it’s only half, so it’s best to seek an Alchemist to prepare a formula to supplement the insufficiency of its spirituality.

Looking at the counterweight, Wang Zijia’s eyes slightly shone. Without any hesitation, he flipped his hand again.

The Foundation Building Pill appeared in his hand and was immediately swallowed by Wang Zijia.

Counterweight: Foundation Establishment Spirituality

Level: Class D Inferior

Status: Mixed

Value: 19032

Intro: The spiritual drug refined by an Alchemist, merging various herbs and aided by low-grade spiritual objects. Even after various processes of purification and tempering, it still isn’t very pure, and thus it is the lowest-ranked Foundation Establishment object.

Note: The Foundation Establishment’s Extraordinary Characteristics have a fusion feature. This counterweight will merge with the Class A spiritual object counterweight in three minutes. The mutual mix-up in between will affect the quality.

’I’m at a loss. Fifteen thousand Dao Kung along with a Class A Task Limit, end up only exchanging for 19 thousand Value Degree. It would be more cost-effective to buy Explosive Spirit Pills!’

Of course, Wang Zijia didn’t regret it. If he had to come again, for safety’s sake, he would still prepare one pill.

Flashing the thought, Wang Zijia was no longer hesitant, directly giving away all his Value to Meat Zongzi.

The Meat Zongzi counterweight evolved into 33 thousand Value Degree. The introduction states it’s already a very abundant and complete spiritual object, no need for additional supplementation of spirituality.

Seeing such information, Wang Zijia glanced at the leftover amount, the Class A Lower-Level Spiritual Items he’d applied from the Sect, without swallowing it again.

Long story short, all these tasks were completed in an instance. When the Extraordinary Characteristics burst into the Dantian, a complete characteristic was already formed.

At this moment, the nine rune techniques had preliminarily finished their connection, hinting a trend of becoming an integral structure.

With the flickering of the runes, the Extraordinary Characteristics quickly integrated into the structure, just like the random blending of mud and reinforced steel.

Finally, they gently merged into shape. With their preliminary shaping, all mana within Wang Zijia’s body fluctuated, gathering into the Dantian during his breath cycle. The newborn Dao Foundation absorbed it before slowly expelling a new strand of mana, which had its quality augmented by five or six times.

After the mana was fully expelled, the newborn Dao Foundation shrank again. Mana was sucked in once more, then expelled again, further refined by a fraction. It circulated like heartbeat and blood.

At this step, his Foundation Establishment was largely successful. He only needed to wait some time for his mana to complete its thorough metamorphosis. That would mark the total completion of the Dao Foundation and the generation of the Magic Door.

During this period, he would possess Pseudo-Sacrificial Wine’s power. Meaning mana quality was already sufficient, but the Dao Foundation Magic Door couldn’t be used yet.

The time for this didn’t have a fixed limit. It could be several days, a month, or even several months.

But it wouldn’t exceed a hundred days at most, hence this period was also called Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment.

However, the duration did not dictate the strength or weakness of the Dao Foundation. A shorter duration doesn’t necessarily mean a more inferior Dao Foundation.

Basically, once a Dao Foundation preliminarily takes shape, it can be determined and felt.

Hence, once Wang Zijia felt mana begin to swallow and refine, he involuntarily frowned.

He had made such thorough preparations, but only ended up with a second-grade Dao Foundation. He barely made it into the second grade, which left him rather dissatisfied.

Feeling that his mana refining would complete within three days, Wang Zijia frowned deeply.

’I prepared so thoroughly but failed to hit the first grade. No wonder first grade is so scarce!’

Wait a minute?

If I fail once, can’t I try again?

For me, it’s not like the Dao Foundation is once established, it can’t be changed!

Isn’t it just a reset? Such a simple thing!

Wang Zijia’s mind flashed with a bright idea, startled by his own cunning thought.

Following that, Wang Zijia looked at the Dao Foundation Weight, tentatively exchanged some Value out of it, looked again, and there were no issues whatsoever.
