Chapter 338: Chapter 195: Foundation Establishment, Divine Skills·Five Elements Great Escape

"Why’s this guy leveling up even slower than me..." Gu Shanhai couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless.

He hadn’t expected that in this past year, Jianfeng Everday City had only just reached Foundation Establishment Stage.

Given the speed at which players level up, his efficiency really was slow, especially since whether it was advancement materials or whatever else, it all came from Gu Shanhai, no different from giving it away for free.

You should know that the missions given to him were led by others, Jianfeng Everday City only had to tag along for the missions, so in theory, by now Jianfeng Everday City should be at Purple Palace Stage.

Of course, from the perspective of the native inhabitants, this advancement was extremely quick, but even so, the power of Jianfeng Everday City was somewhat unreliable, since it was all acquired through following others.

In this past year, Gu Shanhai slowed down on developing the extremes of the 36 Transformations and the 72 Transformations and instead focused on refining his Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique.

The materials were already in place, just waiting for this cultivation technique of his.

It really was about time to take action on this realm.

During this period, Gu Shanhai had also used some experiments on Jianfeng Everday City to successfully develop his own Foundation Establishment Divine Power.

"You even have the face to say that, when others have already established their foundation, you’re still in the Qi Refinement Stage..." Yun Yu teased from the side, thinking that Gu Shanhai lacked self-awareness.

Hearing this, Gu Shanhai was also at his wit’s end. With his current strength, those in the late stages of Spirit Origin might not be his match. At his limit, even those in the late stages of Heavenly Scenery couldn’t compete with him; only those in the last realm of the Middle Three Realms, the Cave Soul Stage, could contend with him.

What’s wrong with the Qi Refinement Stage? Didn’t his "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture" also start with Qi Refinement as a prefix?

However, he didn’t say these things; it wasn’t easy to explain the sources of his strength.

"I’m just about to break through; I’m the kind of person who warms up slow, so being a bit slow is normal for me," Gu Shanhai muttered.

"Over these years, your slow warming up has almost driven us old folks to impatience," Yun Yu didn’t hold back his words. He previously thought there was plenty of time, but then the progress of Gu Shanhai’s strength made him realize that some people can’t be given the luxury of time, or else they really will drag it out.

"Enough, stop nagging and just break through already." Seeing that Gu Shanhai was about to say something else, Yun Yu immediately interrupted him, knowing that if it continued, there would be no end to it.

To facilitate Gu Shanhai’s breakthrough, the entire Chengyun Sect had entered a state of high alert, a treatment not even he as the Sect Leader had received back in the day.

But this was quite normal, as Gu Shanhai was now the core individual of Chengyun Sect. Coupled with his lower strength, it made sense to step up his protection, unlike Shen Heng next door, who had been chased by his own sect members when he was breaking through to Foundation Establishment. If he had not counterattacked during his breakthrough, he would have died by now.

If not for the enmity between the two, Yun Yu would not mind absorbing him as a disciple of Chengyun Sect.

Gu Shanhai’s breakthrough was about to begin. The Yin Five Elements and Yang Five Elements, ten kinds of essence of all things, were laid out before him, each complementing the other.

Just for these ten materials, the amount of manpower and resources Chengyun Sect spent was immense, selecting only the finest quality. If one talked about how treasured they were, each item was far more precious than the prime spiritual material Shen Heng had previously, let alone a complete set.

Gu Shanhai began to assimilate them immediately.

These ten essences were refined into the Spiritual Origin within his brow.

Establishing a foundation meant forging the Spiritual Origin into a Dao Foundation.

It would not only increase the capacity for mana but also enhance its quality. More importantly, a special ability known as Spiritual Sense would emerge, somewhat akin to a sort of spiritual scanning power.

For players, it’s like a special type of active vision ability.

The breakthrough process went smoothly, Gu Shanhai had simulated it countless times. The only challenging point was the Foundation Establishment Divine Power.

Mana traced and merged the ten essences into the Spiritual Origin, which gradually solidified. The Heart Demon avatar within was subtly obscured, and the black and white jade belt-like Yin and Yang energies expanded.

However, Gu Shanhai had no time to pay attention to these changes; they were all within his predictions.

Instead, he focused on the intricate evolution of Foundation Establishment Divine Power.

This Divine Skill, named Five Elements Great Escape, was a unique Escape Technique he had extracted from the transformations to avoid catastrophe found in the 36 Transformations and 72 Transformations, as well as systems of fate and prophecy. It allowed for evasion within the Five Elements and escaping disasters and erasing traces—excellent for fleeing.

With strokes of mana, the Spiritual Origin solidified into a Dao Foundation, and the five-colored lights of white, blue, black, red, and yellow appeared, encircling the Dao Foundation alongside the black and white jade belt.

"Done!" Gu Shanhai let out a sigh of relief. This time, no calamity befell him, largely thanks to the Heart Demon avatar using its Divine Ability to disguise.

But according to his calculations, the Heart Demon avatar could probably only conceal him within the Lower Three Realms. Once reaching the Spirit Origin Stage, he would need to consume Spirit Veins, which would not be as easy to conceal.

Fortunately, he had the Five Elements Great Escape. If he couldn’t hide, he would just avoid. His foundation was in the transformations for evading disasters.

"Why didn’t you encounter a calamity?" Yun Yu asked, somewhat puzzled. They had made such a big fuss because they heard that Gu Shanhai would have to undergo tribulation at the Lower Three Realms.

"No, why would I need to undergo a tribulation?" Gu Shanhai was confused. Aside from having the Heart Demon avatar to cover for him, he now had the Five Elements Great Escape; he wasn’t afraid of tribulations, as he could just escape directly.

"Then why did you have to undergo a tribulation during the Qi Refinement Stage?" Yun Yu countered.

"The Qi Refinement Stage Divine Power couldn’t evade calamities. But now, my new Divine Power can," Gu Shanhai expressed that his abilities in the Qi Refinement Stage were not the same as in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
