Chapter 231: Chapter 225: Impacting Foundation Establishment

“Proud my ass, next time I see it, I’m definitely smashing its damn head in!” Bruto cursed and walked over to a corner, casually picked a spot, and started swinging his Cross Pickaxe, channeling his rage into his work. Knowing the temper of Dwarves, no one doubted that he would keep up this momentum until he dug down to the feet of the Giant Skull Demon.

Lancelot also moved to the opposite corner. He lifted his Giant Sword Glacier, and with the bit of True Qi he had just recovered, he chiseled out a small stone chamber in the rock wall.

“I might need a bit more time,” Lancelot said to everyone before entering, “If I haven’t come out after eight hours, don’t wait for me.”@@@@

After saying that, he walked into the stone chamber alone. Forming a spell with his hand, numerous vines burst from the surrounding soil, sealing the entrance of the stone chamber, and also blocking the eyes of those behind him, whether they were concerned or merely curious.

Just now, he had experienced something extremely mystical and indescribable. Although by now the True Qi in his body was nearly completely depleted, Lancelot clearly knew that the time to attempt Foundation Establishment had arrived.

Under normal circumstances, the Meridians in his body were like rivers flowing with surging True Qi. However, now that his True Qi was all depleted, these ‘riverbeds’, usually hidden by True Qi, were fully exposed. He only needed to direct a faint trace of True Qi to travel through the Meridians to clearly sense where blockages existed, something he couldn’t achieve under ordinary conditions.

Lancelot held a Middle Grade Spirit Stone in one hand, using it to clear minor obstacles in his Meridians. Soon, he would attempt Foundation Establishment with the Spiritual Energy provided by over a hundred Upper Grade Spirit Stones. In such a tremendous rush of energy, any slight congestion in his body could lead to a fatal burst. But exhausting his True Qi at the brink of death had created the conditions to remove these hidden dangers.

After about two hours, Lancelot finally cleared every Meridian and every acupoint in his body. After performing a Heavenly Cycle of the Cauldron Immortal Technique, he felt an unprecedented clarity and relief.

He clenched his teeth and persisted, not slowing the pace of his cultivation, opening up each of his 108 major acupoints, each corresponding to an Upper Grade Spirit Stone. The spiritual energy contained therein surged into his body like a tidal bore.

The 108 Spirit Stones floated in the air in a mysterious arrangement, not only corresponding to the acupoints on his body but seemingly also connected to some extremely distant entities, even beyond this multiverse. A very faint stellar force, undetectable even to divine powers, ignored all physical and metaphysical barriers, cast upon each floating Spirit Stone, gathered, focused, and finally entered Lancelot’s body via bridges made of spiritual energy.

Lancelot, engrossed in his cultivation, let out a muffled grunt. He felt each of his acupoints being stretched increasingly wider; if initially, it felt like needle pricks, now it had become akin to being pierced by a Long Spear.

But that was not the most terrifying part. As spiritual power continuously poured in, every place in his body capable of storing spiritual energy was filled to the brim, yet the complex cultivation technique he was running was still relentlessly drawing in spiritual energy—a necessary step for forcibly establishing a foundation with Spirit Stones.

Finally, in a certain moment, his meridians burst, and the overwhelming, violent spiritual energy rushed towards his flesh, beginning to transform his body.

A horrific tearing sensation arose; the spiritual energies rampaging within him seemed to have their own ideas on how to operate. What was worse, these energies were quite mixed in origin. Not to mention those from the Abyss, many were from higher realms—the homeland of the Angel lovers of Elothysia.
