The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1368 - 706: Mortal Dao

...

Bai Xiaochun shivered, panting heavily. He gestured a spell with both hands, then pushed them down to his dantian region. Instantly, the crystallization process accelerated, and the cracking sounded more intense. Moments later, his entire first spirit sea became solid.

Now it was no longer liquid but a mirror-like crystal!

At the moment it fully crystallized, the power it erupted was ten times that of the original spirit sea. This power filled Yan Xiaobao, making him tremble, making him feel completely different from before!

In the establishment of the Mortal Dao Foundation, there’s only one spiritual ocean. In fact, there’s so little water there, it’s more like a spirit lake.

Only cultivators with an Earthstring Foundation Establishment can use Tideflows to form multiple spirit seas.

The difference between spirit lakes and spirit oceans is one of the significant reasons for the massive gap between "Mortal Dao" and "Foundation Establishment".

As one advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, the crystallization of the spirit sea marks the midpoint of Foundation Establishment. Crystallization is a significant transformation, making the foundation ten times stronger. Since the "earth" spirit sea is already much stronger than the "Mortal Dao" spirit lake, the gap between the two levels of Foundation Establishment can only grow larger from that point on.

Meanwhile, the number of Earth Tideflows affects the number of spiritual oceans, which in turn makes the differences between these different levels more apparent. When it comes to Earthstring Foundation Establishment, three crystallized spiritual oceans mark the middle level!

To reach the late Foundation Establishment, one must reach a spirit sea with six crystallizations. The great circle of Foundation Establishment is nine!

Of course, those with nine spiritual seas are as rare as a Phoenix feather or Qilin horn, so the aforementioned standards only apply to them. The same general principles apply to the other levels of Foundation Establishment.

For instance, in the establishment of the Mortal-Dao Foundation, the great circle is a crystallized spirit sea. However, at best, this power is the same as the single crystallized spirit sea of the "Foundation Establishment"! This is one of the main reasons why it’s almost impossible for cultivators in the Mortal Dao Foundation Establishment to reach the Rock Core Formation.

The same goes for cultivators with an Earthstring Foundation Establishment, having completed only one Tideflow. However, because they possess a true spiritual ocean, theoretically, they have the potential to crystallize it and break through to the next cultivation stage. However, the possibility is slim.

When it comes to having two spiritual oceans, this possibility increases. Five spiritual seas are considered the standard, while those with seven spiritual seas are deemed very likely to succeed. Eight spiritual oceans are extremely rare and even more likely to break through, and nine spiritual oceans are believed to have a ninety percent chance of breaking through.

However, all of this relates to the True Human Dao and Earth Tideflows. When it comes to the extremely rare peak of Foundation Establishment, those cultivators who use Heavenly String Energy to create the Heavenly Dao Halo are not only ten times stronger, but their crystallized spirit seas can destroy the Earth String Foundation Establishment. This is especially true for Bai Xiaochun, who has achieved nine Tideflows. Essentially, he can crush any and all Middle Cultivators of Foundation Establishment!

In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, the gap is not evident. However, the Intermediate Foundation Establishment involves explosive power growth, and once he enters the great circle of Foundation Establishment, he can be called invincible.

"The crystallized sea is the hallmark of stepping into the early Foundation Establishment!" Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath excitedly. The crystallization did not stop with the first spirit sea! It continued into the second spirit sea, immediately beginning to show signs of solidification.

For the next several hours, intense rasping sounds filled his mind. His cultivation base grew explosively, and soon, his second spiritual sea crystallized, the process developed into the third one!

RUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!

The process continued until the next morning. When the first rays of sunlight reached the earth below, Yan Xiaobao let out a rumbling sound, his eyes suddenly snapping open.

At that point, he could feel the surge of spiritual power flowing through him, far exceeding what it had before. Now, with three crystalline spirit seas, every breath he took seemed to reverberate with thunderous rumbling.

Now, he felt that with a simple wave of his hand, he could crush everything around him. Furthermore, he felt a pain in his forehead, as if his heavenly Dharma Eye was yearning to be opened.

Yan Xiaobao had a strong premonition that if he opened that eye, it would explode with astonishing ripples.

His eyes sparkling, he suddenly moved. Spiritual power surged through him, and as he became a blur, rumbling sounds could be heard. Moments later, he stood in front of one of the Blood Trees.

The Blood Tree trembled, starting to creak. Unlike before, Yan Xiaobao paid it no mind. Instead, his right hand flickered in a spell gesture as he pointed, causing blood qi to coalesce into a Blood Sword.

"I can make a Blood Sword much faster than before!" He recalled the secret magic of Middle Peak excitedly, "Annihilation of the World." After making another spell gesture, he waved his hand, causing even more blood qi to converge in the area, and another Blood Sword appeared.

The matter was not over. A third Blood Sword appeared, swirling around him, enveloping the entire area in a bloody murderous aura.

Intense pressure also weighed down the area, causing all the Blood Trees to tremble.
