The hem of his robe fluttered lightly with the wind, surrounded by a subtle yet pervasive Immortal Aura. Every gesture exuded a demeanor transcendent beyond the mundane, as if the profound and elusive Dao flowed with his every move.
An expression of surprise flashed across Mu Chunqiu’s eyes, and with a smile, he inquired,
"I wonder, young friend Lu, which Divine... Foundation Establishment have you acquired?"
Mu Chunqiu’s smile abruptly ceased because he suddenly saw that Lu Yan hadn’t even reached the Golden Core Realm, let alone acquired the Celestial Spirit Divine Techniques.
Lu Yan stepped out of the Teleportation Array, breathing the air that was scarce in Spiritual Qi, a trace of fatigue flashing in his eyes.
Five months of uninterrupted cultivation had been an immense burden, even for Lu Yan.
He cupped his hands in salute to Mu Chunqiu and said,
"Many thanks to True Monarch Mu for bestowing the Spell!"
Lu Yan’s words quickly brought Mu Chunqiu back to his senses, and he swiftly adjusted his demeanor, coughing lightly.
"Foundation Establishment... even the Peak of Foundation Establishment is quite commendable. After all, young friend Lu has been cultivating for just over three years. If in three years, one were to leap from a mortal to a Golden Core adept, even with a cave’s rich heritage to strengthen the foundation, it might cause some adverse effects.

Your foundation is the most robust I’ve seen in my life. Staying in the Foundation Establishment Realm for a while longer, until the foundation is thoroughly solidified before choosing to break through, is not a bad thing."
Lu Yan did not respond, as he was genuinely embarrassed to tell Mu Chunqiu the truth.
Within Lu Yan, the ten-layer Dao Foundation akin to the Buzhou Divine Mountain, a massive amount of Magical Power just barely filled the nine layers representing heaven, earth, and man, while the remaining Supreme Dao Foundation lay unfilled like a vast ocean.
In conventional terms, a nine-layer Dao Foundation is already the limit of a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Even Mu Chunqiu, with half a foot into Divinity Transformation, hadn’t detected that Lu Yan wasn’t even at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, strictly speaking; he was merely in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Although he hadn’t broken through to the Golden Core Realm as Mu Chunqiu envisioned, Lu Yan felt no disappointment.
During these five months of cultivation, Lu Yan fully experienced the tremendous strength of the Supreme Dao Foundation.
These resources, sufficient to help a Golden Core Peak adept break through to a Nascent Soul, allowed Lu Yan’s Divine Soul to surpass the Golden Core, and his Immortal Spirit Dharma Body was no inferior to a Golden Core Body Cultivator, fully unleashing the potential of the Supreme Dao Foundation.
Yet compared to the true harvest, neither the Golden Core Divine Soul nor the Immortal Spirit Dharma Body seemed so insignificant.
His consciousness sank into his body, within those ten layers of Dao Foundation like a towering hand reaching into the heavens, supporting a brilliant golden sun above.
The golden sun, like the primordial True Yang at the world’s dawn, shone upon the myriad realms. Under the nurturing of massive resources, the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed of the Supreme Dao Foundation had finally been successfully cultivated.
The true Supreme Divine Techniques transcend heaven and earth; without forming a Golden Core, they can’t easily descend into the world. Yet this Supreme Divine Techniques Seed still bestowed upon Lu Yan an extraordinarily mysterious Divine Power Technique.
He could use the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed to enhance any Divine Power Skill, forcibly elevating its Position to the level of the Celestial Spirit Divine Techniques.
This meant that even if Lu Yan cast the most basic Fireball Technique, it could wield the might of the Celestial Spirit!
Golden Core Divine Soul, Immortal Spirit Dharma Body, nine-layer Dao Foundation’s peak Magical Power, and the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed capable of enhancing to the Celestial Spirit Divine Techniques.
With such means, even without breaking through, Lu Yan was no different from a Golden Core adept mastering Celestial Spirit Divine Techniques.
With his own strength, Lu Yan had the confidence to sweep through the Taiyi Sect’s true successor candidates and seize the True Successor Position!
