“Boom!” Di Jiu stood outside the swamp and blasted down with a fist, a huge rock that was at least a ten feet in circumference was turned into pieces under this fist.
However, Di Jiu frowned and did not continue to move, he had been throwing this punch for more than a month, but he still felt that something was still missing.
The subtle feeling was strange, it was as if he had gained a form with this punch, and the power was also very powerful. But inside Di Jiu just had a feeling that this punch could have been more powerful, a feeling that was very odd.
Counting up, he, Geng Jie and Shu Di had been cultivating under this swamp for more than a year. Or maybe it was because they had escaped far enough, for more than a year, no human traces had appeared here except for a few swamp demon beasts that had come over.
In more than a year, Di Jiu’s real cultivation time was only five months at most, and in five months he had arrived at the Qi Practitioner Perfection realm. After reaching the perfection of Qi cultivation, no matter how hard Di Jiu tried, he was just one step away from building the foundation.
In desperation, Di Jiu could only learn how to refine weapons. He learnt to refine weapons because he wanted to make a sword weapon magic treasure for himself that he could use. Other people’s magic treasures got better and better the more they were used, but his magic treasures got worse and worse the more he used them. Although he had a long knife in his hand, Di Jiu still missed the big kitchen knife more.
Unfortunately, his progress in refining was too slow, far from being able to compare with his cultivation speed.
The materials he had obtained were almost finished being refined, and he didn’t seem to have made much progress in his smithing. I don’t know if it was because he didn’t have a master to teach him, or because his flames didn’t work. In the past half a year, he had only been able to refine lower grade magic weapons.
Geng Jie was a cultivation fanatic, and if Di Jiu didn’t call him, he would probably keep on cultivating.
Since he couldn’t build a foundation in cultivation and had no more materials for refining weapons, Di Jiu had to cultivate the fist on the broken jade slip.
This fist technique was also obtained from the Qi family merchant building, and according to Di Jiu’s usual learning speed, he should be able to learn this fist soon.
In fact, after practicing for over a month, he still felt that he had not obtained the essence of this fist.
According to what was described on the jade slip, not only did this punch go down with enough power, it also gave a kind of stagnation to the space in the range of the punch when it was blasted down. In Di Jiu’s opinion, that was control of the battle space. Now his punch was also powerful enough, but when he blasted it out, there was no feeling of controlling the space.
Di Jiu didn’t know how much time he had been standing outside the swamp feeling it, until a threat of death swept over him and he woke up with a start.
A huge twin-tailed leopard swooped over in the air. The twin-tailed leopard was extremely fast, and before it swooped over, it was still a dozen feet away.
The powerful demon beast aura made it clear to Di Jiu that this was definitely a level two demon beast.
With little thought, Di Jiu raised his hand and threw a punch.
He had been practising this punch here for over a month, and it was almost an instinctive reaction to throw it out.
When he threw this punch, Di Jiu only had one thought, that was to kill this twin-tailed leopard.
This hasty punch, on the contrary, made Di Jiu feel that it had rolled up everything in space. Obviously this punch was struck out empty, but Di Jiu had the feeling that this punch gathered everything he wanted to kill and took control of this side of space.
It was as if the fist had rolled up a giant mountain out of thin air and blasted out with Di Jiu’s fist.
This was a fist going at will? Di Jiu followed with wild joy in his heart, this hasty fist blast was what he had been looking for for over a month.
“Boom,” the fist power turned into a mountain of nothingness and hit the head of the twin-tailed leopard, a click sound came out and the twin-tailed leopard fell from the air like a deflated ball.
At this moment, Di Jiu was also brought into the mood of this punch, and he felt that this punch did not end with the killing of the twin-tailed leopard, as another mountain peak blasted out after that one.
After this continuous mountain peak, it seemed to turn into an endless wave of majestic waves rushing out again. Unfortunately, his fist was already weak and the wave did not take shape.
Without hesitation, Di Jiu blasted out again, and the furious wave finally took shape, one wave following another, with a magnificent and powerful aura.
“Ka!” A gully, more than ten feet long, was blasted out by Di Jiu’s fist wind, a burst of weakness came out, and only then did Di Jiu open his eyes.
A kind of fervent pride surged up in his heart, what others blasted out was a fist, what he blasted out was a giant peak. After he felt the power of that fist, the giant peaks he had blasted out were one after another. This was not the end, as long as his fist intent was sufficient, after this continuous mountain peak came another wave roaring.
“Peaks like a gathering, waves like fury ……”
It was clear that this spell technique only had one punch, but he blasted out a second punch, waves of fury.
In the future this was two punches, the first one peaks like a gathering, the second one waves like a fury.
These two punches were even more terrifying than those slashes of his, and Di Jiu thought that he was still only mastering the skin of these two punches. These two fists should have a deeper meaning in them, and he could only feel the subtlety of the punching intent when his realm was too low.
Just like Zhang Yanghao’s song, “The peaks are like a gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are like the Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, I am hesitant.”
The meaning of Zhang Yanghao’s song is, “Sadly, where the Qin and Han dynasties have travelled, all the palaces have been reduced to mud. The people suffer when they rise; they suffer when they die.”
The meaning of his two fists is, “Where the peaks and waves sweep away, there is space in the fist. If you block, you too will die; if you flee, you too will die!”
It was just that these two punches had consumed so much essence that Di Jiu’s body was in a kind of weakness, and Di Jiu’s spirit was still in a highly exhilarated state.
He was sure that his two punches had surpa*sed that broken jade slip to a new level. One day, when others faced his two punches as if they were facing the ‘palace of ten thousand rooms turned into earth’ state of mind, his two punches would have become a great success.
That indescribable feeling rushed to his heart, and Di Jiu’s Star River Skill automatically ran. The starry sky that had transformed into his internal meridians became clearer and clearer, taking on a majesty and vastness.
“Ka-ching!” The realm that had been hindering him rushed through at this moment as if a chicken had broken through an eggshell.
Di Jiu’s aura kept climbing and climbing again, and Di Jiu immediately knew that after his epiphany, he had rushed through the Foundation Establishment realm that he hadn’t crossed for months.
At this moment, he didn’t hesitate to grab a pile of spirit stones and throw them around him as his aura continued to rise.
The spirit stones next to him kept clicking and breaking, and the spirit energy of these broken spirit stones merged with the spirit energy of the surrounding space and were all sucked away by Di Jiu.
At this time, how could Di Jiu care if it was safe to cultivate here? He clearly caught a new cultivation rule that guided the way he would circumambulate the sky after he built his foundation. Even if he didn’t understand it anymore, Di Jiu knew that this should be a fusion of the grey stone in his sea of consciousness and his own perceptions, renewing the successor technique for the Star River Skill.
“Boom!” The spiritual qi Di Jiu absorbed once again reached an extreme, and his cultivation level broke through the Foundation Establishment layer to the Foundation Establishment layer two.
It was only at this time that Di Jiu came to his senses and all the spirit stones around him turned into pieces.
With a long whistle, Di Jiu drew his long sword directly from his back and slashed out with a slash.
The gully that was originally blasted out by his two fists increased by several more feet under this slash.
“Brother Jiu, you’ve made it big with your blade technique?” Geng Jie and Shu Di also sensed Di Jiu’s long whistle and rushed out from under the swamp.
“It’s not that the blade technique has become a great success, but ……” Di Jiu was about to say that the blade was just an expression of his inner delight, when he saw Geng Jie’s cultivation level, he immediately said in surprise, “Geng Jie, you have also succeeded in building a foundation? ”
Only then did Geng Jiab say excitedly, “Yes, Brother Jiu. I’ve been practising Qi for a long time, but our Star River Skill doesn’t have a way to build a foundation, so I’ve tried many ways but I can’t build a foundation. I was thinking about whether to leave here to get a foundation building pill when I suddenly felt a foundation building rule. Under this rule, the operation of my Star River Skill became even clearer, and the star river in my body became much more solid than before, after which I naturally succeeded in building my foundation.”
“Then, did you sense the circumstantial operation technique after the foundation building?” Di Jiu asked offhandedly.
Geng halberd nodded one after another, “Brother Jiu, I was just about to tell you, I have sensed the way the succeeding circumstance moves Qi, which is completely different from the Qi training stage ……”
Geng halberd told his way of circumstantial qi movement word by word, Di Jiu listened to it and was sighing with admiration. Both he and Geng Ji cultivated the Star River Skill, Geng Ji formed a star river in his body when he cultivated, and then absorbed spiritual qi through the star river. While he cultivated the Star River Skill, what he formed in his body was the starry sky, and then absorbed spiritual qi through the starry sky.
Now both he and Geng Ji were both successful in building their foundations without a foundation building gong method, and both had a new foundation building gong method because of the star river or starry sky within their bodies. This gong method was on the other hand different, and the way Geng halberd had just described the circumstance cultivation was completely the opposite of his foundation building cultivation.
He was sure that the reason why the cultivation star river in Geng Jie’s body could derive the Foundation Establishment cultivation technique must also have something to do with his grey stone.
The grey stone with the golden lightning bolt had no idea what it was that was so counter-intuitive to this extent.
“Brother Jiu, look at my thunder sword.” After Geng Jie finished speaking, he opened his hand and made a few hand tricks.
Several thunder swords fell down and blasted into the gully that Di Jiu had just split out. Lightning splashed everywhere, tearing out another dozen deep marks around the already deep gully.
Although it had crossed into the ranks of the second level demon beasts, the only attacks it could use were still binding and blood-sucking.
“Brother Jiu, I feel like I’ll be able to advance soon, why don’t we cultivate for a while longer?” Geng Jie felt that Di Jiu should want to leave, he believed that if he was given a few more days, he would be able to cross over to the second level of Foundation Establishment.
“There’s no need to stay here, our path is not to close down and cultivate in here every day. There’s no point in simply raising the realm, we need to advance in the grind to gain more benefits that way.” Di Jiu patted Geng Jiab and said.
He practiced for a month and ended up sensing the first fist Peaks Gathering and the second fist Tao Like Fury, before crossing over to Foundation Establishment. This was even better than his half year of seclusion.
