Chapter 2238: Chapter 1937: Advancement

Han Fei glanced at the swirling dust in the pit and gritted his teeth, saying: "That brat died just like that—it’s too easy for him."

Yang Ze said: "That’s right, are that kid’s companions still in the bungalow outside the mine pit? All of them must be killed; we can’t let any information about us here get out. If it spreads, the other two sacred places will come, and things will become troublesome."

"Father, leave it to me; I’ll take care of them."

Han Fei’s face flashed with a keen gleam, and he volunteered enthusiastically.

Yang Ze nodded: "Alright, go ahead, and be careful."

Han Fei moved swiftly, leaving the cavern via the vertical passage.

...

Deep within the pit, the dust swirled.

"Damn, that old guy’s strength is massive!"

Song Yun cursed internally, feeling his entire body on the verge of falling apart, the pain piercing.

He grabbed a healing pill and swallowed it, feeling somewhat relieved.

"Fortunately, I practiced the Primordial Technique, otherwise if he had landed such a blow, I would’ve been dead for sure."

Song Yun opened his eyes to see the expanse of dust above, yet to clear, obscuring the view of what’s happening above.

"Spiritual energy!"

Suddenly, he shivered, sensing spiritual energy activity behind him.

He exerted effort to control his aching body, shifted a bit to the side, and looked toward the position behind him.

The pit’s bottom seemed to have been dug up under his impact, completely shattered and sunken.

However, an infant fist-sized stone stood there intact.

The spiritual energy indeed came from this stone.

The stone was entirely crystal clear and green, with an aura flowing through it, lively like a living creature.

What amazed Song Yun was the stone’s abundant and refined spiritual energy.

"This... this is a Spirit Stone!"

Song Yun’s face showed surprise; Yang Ze’s sought-after treasure turned out to be a Spirit Stone.

He looked around carefully and didn’t see other Spirit Stones.

He sensed again, but there were no other places with strong spiritual energy.

"Seems like this is the only Spirit Stone."

Song Yun thought privately, but he wasn’t disappointed despite the scarcity of Spirit Stones.

Realizing previously he had no hope regarding Spirit Stones on Earth, yet unexpectedly encountered one, was truly a pleasant surprise.

"No wonder Yang Ze would go through such trouble; it turns out he was mining for Spirit Stones!"

"With Spirit Stones, one can directly absorb its pure spiritual energy, making the cultivation speed incredibly fast—much more effective than the Spirit Gathering Array I set up in Azure Dragon Villa."

"According to Yin Xi’s Manual, Spirit Stones are measured in units, each about the size of a capsule, though rectangular. This Spirit Stone is so large; if cut, there might be dozens of Spirit Stones."

"This thing is a super treasure; if it gets out, even people from spiritual lands would struggle for it, surely causing a bloody storm."

"Yet, the texture of this Spirit Stone seems different from what’s described in Yin Xi’s Manual."

Song Yun examined the Spirit Stone carefully, sensing its spiritual energy, realizing its quality didn’t meet the standard of a First-grade Spirit Stone, at best a substandard Spirit Stone.

But even a substandard Spirit Stone is definitely an extremely rare treasure on Earth.

"I must get my hands on this Spirit Stone. But now I need to advance to Foundation Establishment and take care of Deacon Yang."

Song Yun’s thoughts churned as he raised his hand toward the Spirit Stone, intending to absorb some spiritual energy to directly achieve a breakthrough into Foundation Establishment.

When he placed his hand on the Spirit Stone, he activated his cultivation technique, allowing pure spiritual energy to be released from the Spirit Stone and enter his body.

This spiritual energy was exceptionally pure and concentrated, quickly assimilated into his True Qi within the Dantian.

He was just a bit away from Foundation Establishment, and the increase in True Qi helped him break through the limit.

At that instant, he entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.

There was no violent True Energy Wave, everything appeared calm, as Song Yun pressed himself to avoid alerting others.

In this moment, he felt as if he underwent a qualitative change, with essence, energy, and spirit all transformed.

This sensation wasn’t a change in strength, speed, or agility, but the entire cultivation form seemed different.

Song Yun couldn’t quite describe it, like a self-reconstruction, entering a brand new realm.

As expected, Yin Xi’s Manual in his mind unfolded into new Chapters, but instead of immediate enlightenment of the secret texts, it was Master Yin Xi’s messages that appeared.

Master Yin Xi’s messages always brought Song Yun unexpected insights, broadening his horizons and revealing the world’s secrets.

He focused his mind and read carefully.

"Disciple, truly unexpected—to advance to Foundation Establishment in Earth’s sparse spiritual energy environment. Perhaps you entered Taoyuan? Its abundant spiritual energy is more suitable for cultivation than other places."

The initial text expressed Master Yin Xi’s astonishment.

His tone seemed as if speaking face-to-face with Song Yun, the opening "Disciple" flowed naturally as well.

Song Yun read the text, feeling as if he had truly met Master Yin Xi, their relationship intimate like that of a mentor and disciple.

He continued reading: "Foundation Establishment is a watershed realm; only by entering Foundation Establishment can you truly qualify for cultivation. If remaining at sss level, regardless of effort, Divine Power Void Breaking Palm and Body Refining Technique Honghuang Jue, you’ll never truly master because your body’s limitations."
