As the stone door of the quiet room closed, the corresponding formation was activated, and the inside and outside were isolated.

Meng Zhou circled around the ashram and examined it carefully.

With his current ability, he couldn't arrange such a set of second-order formations, but it was enough to check and fill in the gaps.

The final result was still satisfactory, and Qingxuanzong did not do anything in this regard.

Meng Zhou took out a clean futon and sat on it.

He untied the seemingly ordinary rope spirit from his wrist and began to braid.

He first constructed a Gathering Soul Rune Array, then a shielding rune array, and then a Gathering Spirit Rune Array, a shielding rune array.

In this way, the two kinds of runes alternated between the ten fingers of his hands.

Every time the rope seemed to run out, under his control, the end of the thread would extend forward for a long time, so that he would continue to braid.

When will it end?

It doesn't matter if he says it, it depends on where the limit of this rope spirit that has grown to the limit of the first order is.

In an anecdotal notebook related to foundation building, Meng Zhou saw such a statement.

In the process of building the foundation, the monk does not need more spiritual energy than a normal retreat at the beginning of the foundation building.

However, its demand for the "quality" of aura is very high.

And the higher the quality of the foundation, the stronger this need becomes.

If the environment of their retreat does not meet their needs, then the body will instinctively expand the scope of absorption, which is manifested externally, which is the foundation vision.

This is also a way for outsiders to judge the quality of a person's foundation, the larger the scope of the vision, the higher the quality of the foundation, and vice versa.

However, this judgment does not have standard reference value.

The same monk who builds a foundation in a second-order spiritual land of very average quality may cause a very powerful and long-lasting foundation building vision.

However, if it is changed to a third-order cave, its area of influence may stop at the cave.

And if you change to a higher-level fourth-order cave mansion, there is a high probability that you won't even have any external visions, and you will complete the breakthrough silently, and no one will notice the abnormality except for the person concerned.

Meng Zhou had a hunch that if he didn't make any preparations, his vision of foundation building might be very exaggerated.

When the time comes, it may attract the attention of the Qingxuanzong Jiedan.

He just wants to develop in a low-key manner, but he doesn't want to be in such a limelight.

Inspired by this notebook, his plan was to arrange as many Spirit Gathering Runes as possible, and from the first day he entered the ashram, he would continue to draw spiritual energy from the outside world and store it.

When he was about to break through the official level, the richer and higher the quality of the aura in the meditation room, the smaller the revealed foundation building vision would be.

Of course, all this has to come quietly.

Therefore, a Soul Gathering Rune Array should be equipped with a shielding rune array to ensure concealment.

For the entire second-order spiritual vein where Qinglin Fang was located, his current behavior was like secretly opening a hole in the pool, and he had also made a clever disguise at the entrance of the cave.

Unless someone catches it on the spot, this hidden leak is difficult to find.

This was a plan that had been clearly calculated in his mind as early as when he chose which rune arrays to cultivate.

The reason why he didn't prepare in advance in Ruyiju was because when his mastery of these two kinds of runes reached the consummation level, he no longer stuck to the dogmatic and rigid production methods in the inheritance.

He can flexibly adjust the braiding techniques of these two talisman arrays according to the different times, places, and needs, so as to perfectly fit the local environment and maximize the effect.

Meng Zhou kept weaving and weaving until he finally reached the current limit of the rope spirit, and no new rope head grew.

Meng Zhou counted carefully, and on this rope, there were forty-nine spirit gathering rune arrays and forty-eight shielding rune arrays.

Meng Zhou circled it around the quiet room, spread it evenly, and then braided the end of the rope into a loop.

In an instant, as if electrified, the spirituality flowed between the rune arrays, and a steady stream of spiritual energy was absorbed into this already abundant spiritual energy in the quiet room.

Originally, these two rune arrays were only first-order high-grade qualities.

But after his skills reached the master, the grandmaster, and the perfection, the quality improved one after another.

Now, he has adapted measures to local conditions, and designed and compiled a rune array that is most suitable for the local environment.

Its comprehensive level has reached the level of second-order lower grades.

One so, one so.

In less than half a day, Meng Zhou only felt that between his breaths, there was nothing but aura.

"There's no such thing as drunken aura, right?"

At the beginning, Meng Zhou was still a little apprehensive in his heart, worried about whether too much aura would also cause physical discomfort and something similar to drunken oxygen.

Fortunately, the sensations of the body do not lie.

As the aura in the meditation room increased, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but became more and more comfortable and light, and Meng Zhou was relieved.

After doing this, Meng Zhou began a leisurely retreat career.

Although the aura environment is far beyond that of Ruyiju, the cultivation of the fundamental exercises has already reached the daily limit, and it is impossible to make more progress.

Therefore, he still maintains a daily +1 cultivation progress.

The rest of the time, Meng Zhou either sleeps, or flips through various notes, or empties his mind and simulates ideas.

It was a very relaxing time.

Suddenly, ten days passed in a flash.

……

March 26, early in the morning.

Meng Zhou, who sat on the pure futon with his eyes closed, ended the mana transfer of the last week.

Feeling the mana in his body that was about to overflow, Meng Zhou had a feeling that at this moment, he only needed to take a slight leap forward to successfully build a foundation.

Among the many notes on rushing to build the foundation, the most admired and enviable one is "the water overflows, and the water comes naturally".

When cultivation, mana, and physical and mental states all reach this critical point, building a foundation is a natural thing.

But Meng Zhou did not follow this instinctive guidance, but woke up with his eyes open.

[Realm: Nine Layers of Qi Training 100/100]

"This should be regarded as the peak of Qi cultivation and the ultimate Great Perfection, right?" Meng Zhou thought jokingly in his heart.

The ashram at this moment looks very strange.

Meng Zhou didn't feel like he was on land, but in the underwater world, his whole being immersed in an aura that was so thick that it was completely liquefied, and even a little viscous, almost half-solidified.

After ten days of accumulation, this was equivalent to a quasi-third-order spiritual land.

However, this also reached the limit of what the forty-nine Spirit Gathering Rune Arrays could hold, and they had all stopped functioning at the moment, unable to extract new spiritual energy to inject into them.

In the final analysis, their comprehensive quality is only a second-order lower grade, although quantitative changes have caused a certain degree of qualitative changes, but they cannot really cross the hierarchy and advance from the second order to the third order.

In such an environment, Meng Zhou did not need to worry about hunger, and the abundant aura could not only meet his physical needs, but also keep him in the best condition all the time.

Meng Zhou stood up from the pure futon and mobilized the power of qi and blood around his body, causing it to pour out from the body's viscera, blood, bone marrow and even brain marrow.

The majestic power of qi and blood turned into a shroud of light visible to the naked eye around him.

At this moment, he is really shining.

The power of qi and blood in the body was squandered by such a lack of money, and the rapid loss of qi and blood power caused a low-lying area of "cold pole".

The overflowing "Shengji" mana began to flow naturally, filling this gap in a steady stream.

However, because his squandering of the power of qi and blood has not stopped, the support of the mana from the birth pole has never stopped.

The mana of Shengji continued to replenish the consumption of cold qi and blood, and the abundant spiritual energy around the body began to pour into Shengji in a steady stream, and the spiritual energy was refined into mana.

Because of the consumption of spiritual energy in the quiet room, the stopped spirit gathering formation began to work again, and the external spiritual energy was continuously extracted and replenished into this quiet room.

In this way, the cold pole physique, the birth pole mana, and the aura outside the body were connected, forming a directional flow trend.

In the process, his body is like a white bear that has been sleeping for a long time, gradually "waking up" under this continuous stimulation.

Little by little, Meng Zhou regained all the insights he had from creating the White Bear Cold Body in the Water Curtain Cave that day, and initially constructing a general framework for cultivation with the four natures of water.

Little by little, the state of the body was restored, and the full power of qi and blood was no longer squandered outside the body, but all poured into the brain.

In an instant, the power of divine consciousness was easily activated by him.

After going back and forth like this for half a day, Meng Zhou retrieved all the insights he had when he first created the exercises.

"Essence", "Qi", and "Shen" were all in the best state, and after fully warming up, he sat down cross-legged on the pure futon again.

Meng Zhou felt the energetic and eager impulse of the awakened body, and his heart was satisfied.

"For a normal monk, at the age of fifty-two, the age of rushing to build the foundation is already a bit too old.

But my lifespan has reached 157 years, and the normal monk's lifespan is 120 years old.

The stage of life I am in now, compared to that of a normal monk, is less than 40 years old.

Although he is still a little older, he is still in the prime of life, and he is barely at the peak of his life. ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Zhou slowly settled down.

Soon, he regained the feeling of overflowing water.

Then, a small step forward.

The cold polar physique and the living extreme mana that had reached the overflowing state were all broken through a small barrier at the same time, and they all entered a new level.

Whether it is the power of qi and blood, or the power of mana, they are quietly transforming.

Filled in the meridians, the semi-atomized mana that was so dense began to drip and fall into the meridians.

At the beginning, it was still one drop or two drops, sporadically.

Soon, there were more and more, and it became a momentum, like a rain of clouds in the meridians.

The transformation of qi and blood scattered throughout the body is more subtle and silent.

His body seemed to have turned into a gluttonous giant mouth, and the rich aura around his body was continuously inhaled into his body.

Then, the mana and the power of qi and blood that have completed the transformation circulate in the meridians and body, and after entering the head area, they feel a strange obstruction.

This obstacle is not somewhere in the mind, but between the virtual and the real.

Until the power of mana and qi and blood has completed its transformation, its existence cannot be felt.

Now, he finally felt it clearly.

Meng Zhou tried it with mana and qi and blood power respectively, and felt that this hindered slippery and slippery, and with his control over mana and qi and blood, it was difficult to completely use his strength.

However, when he controlled both forces at the same time, he turned into two spinning spikes and pushed forward from two different directions.

That slippery obstacle no longer had any room for manoeuvre, and was easily broken.

These two forces did not stop, but instead used all their strength, bombarding the depths of the broken obstacle.

Like opening the heavens and the earth, Meng Zhou was in his own mind, where there was no place, and forcibly opened up the void of the sea of knowledge.

This is the primordial sea of knowledge that has just been opened up, there is no heaven and no earth, only a void.

With the successful opening of the Primordial Sea of Knowledge, Meng Zhou's soul manifested.

At first, it was just a faint phantus, and then it gradually became clear, turning into a young man with an ordinary appearance.

Dressed in a set of home shorts and shorts, with his eyes slightly closed, he stood casually in the middle of the original sea of knowledge.

This is the soul image of Meng Zhou, the initial image of his subconscious self-awareness.

Before the practitioner opens up the sea of knowledge, there is no clear soul.

The soul and the flesh and blood are mixed together, in the same room, and the spirit and body influence each other, and they are bound to each other, which is inevitably mixed and impure.

It wasn't until the sea of knowledge was opened up that the soul had a foundation to emerge independently from the flesh and blood.

For ordinary monks, rushing through the level and building the foundation, at this point, it can be regarded as a great success, and it can be over.

The mana transformed, broke through the obstacles, opened up the original sea of knowledge, stripped the soul from the flesh and blood, and successfully settled in the sea of knowledge, stimulating the power of divine consciousness.

In most of the foundation building notes, when you complete this step, you are already complete, and you can go out of the customs to celebrate the feast.

In Meng Zhou's feelings, this step by step was very relaxed, and he almost didn't feel any obstacles.

But for ordinary monks, every step is extremely difficult.

Some can't even complete the step of mana transformation independently, and must rely on the assistance of foreign objects such as Tsukidan.

There are not a few who can't support it halfway, and they are already exhausted and haggard when they insist on completing this last step.

But for Meng Zhou, this was just the beginning of his real foundation.

Meng Zhou saw such words in a travelogue.

In the eyes of seekers, the true foundation building is not at all what ordinary monks think.

The foundation of the avenue was built, but the seeds of the avenue were not built, and the self-proclaimed "foundation building" was just pasting gold on his face.

Meng Zhou didn't know what the so-called "Great Dao Seed" here was, but based on other kinds of notes, observations, and his own thinking and accumulation, Meng Zhou also had a whole set of his own ideas in his heart.

At this moment, he is concentrating all his efforts on the "birth pole" and "cold pole", as well as the complete system of encompassing these two poles and circulating them between them.

Meng Zhou's mind was completely immersed in this circulating system with bipolarity as the core.

Gradually, he stripped them out of the tangible and returned to pure concepts again.

[A hotbed of growth and vitality. 】

[Flow and circulation, reciprocating and reciprocating. 】

[The sea is inclusive of all rivers and all things. 】

[Cold and hot nature, innate. 】

The four natures of water, which have infinite potential, constitute the original framework system, and if you are willing to work hard, you can unearth almost endless treasures.

However, if we go one level higher, we can find that the "four natures of water" are all extracted from objectivity, reality, and rationality, and they all stay at the level of "judging things on the facts".

To put it more bluntly, it is "too reasonable".

There is a lack of a more subjective, more metaphysical refinement.

This, on the other hand, is even more important for practitioners.

It is the core, the direction of the clear avenue, the general outline of the fundamental law, the source, and the program.

And this is a natural fit with the soul.

In this regard, Meng Zhou has long had a clear thought.

[Virtue is good, weakness is indisputable]

For those who don't understand, it may feel like a kind of nest.

can make Meng Zhou evaluate that if the avenue is tangible, there is nothing more in line with the avenue.

Meng Zhou is so unwavering and convinced.

Firmly believe, firmly believe-

Meng Zhou's soul essence, the original image from his previous life that had just been stripped from his flesh and blood, and the initial image of self-knowledge, began to melt as quickly as hot wax, turning into a puddle of water.

A pool of clear water that exists in the sea of knowledge.

With the transformation of his soul into water, the framework system that originally only circulated between the two poles of "essence" and "qi" underwent a fundamental change.

The two poles of "essence" and "qi" are transformed into the three poles of "essence", "qi" and "god".

The nascent tripolarity is encompassed in a system that is constantly changing, but is exceptionally balanced and stable.

The qi and blood of "essence", the mana of "qi", and the divine consciousness of "god", the three forces cycle back and forth and chase each other.

With the reshaping of this system, in the sea of knowledge, the water surface of Meng Zhou's soul is like a mirror, reflecting the changes in it from time to time.

Through this "water surface", Meng Zhou can easily grasp the changes in the overall situation and accurately regulate them.

As soon as the mind moves, any detail can be accurately presented on the surface of the water.

All this is a long story, but a very short time has passed since Meng Zhou opened up the original sea of knowledge and manifested his soul.

In this short period of time, he completed one of the most important tasks of this foundation building, that is, to further refine the general framework of cultivation.

And take advantage of the breakthrough to complete the remodeling before everything is stable.

It is only during this window period that all this is as easy as kneading mud.

At another time, if you want to change the shape of the soul and complete the three-pole linkage of the spirit, qi and spirit, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky!

You must not have imagined how many times I have rubbed this plot over and over again, how many words have been wasted, to say the least, there are 20,000!

There is only one reason, it was too obscure at the beginning, and there were too many new settings.

The first version, just to know the sea and open up, I made a new way to open up, wrote nearly 10,000 words, and almost bypassed myself, from the beginning,, this is self-hilarity.

All scrapped and restarted.,Subtract all the way.,It's been a few times.,This is barely squeezing out this version.,There are still thousands of words behind that are going to be scrapped and restarted.,That's why this chapter has such a strange word count of 4800.。

Before writing this episode, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and it wasn't until I actually wrote it down that I understood what the problem was.

The setting of the exercise system can be a highlight, but if it really becomes an obscure and brain-burning tirade, it will only be annoying.

Now, on the contrary, I think that the way of writing all the breakthroughs is more intelligent, and the innovation is directly on the name of the realm, or the name of the exercise, which is simple and easy.

It's a thankless task for me to do this, and it's really hard to fully justify it, and maybe there are fatal bugs, and the more ink I write, the more likely this is.

Don't say anything, go to bed first, and continue to think and think in your dreams.
