Mortal Mirror

With a thought, Li Ergou activated his divine sense, and the Karma Golden Core within his sea of consciousness began to emit endless golden light. This light poured down like a curtain of water, directly into his dantian.

Karma, a very special power, as it entered, the originally white foundation field and black patterns were soaked in gold, beginning to turn a golden yellow.

This karma belonged to a Heavenly Dao power, an extremely formidable existence that could help one break through bottlenecks. As it appeared, mysterious patterns on the foundation field began to rapidly generate, continuously converging towards the center.

The Karma Golden Core was also rapidly depleting. Li Ergou initially thought it would take a long time.

Unexpectedly, this Karma Golden Core was incredibly fierce. In just a short hour, the patterns on the foundation field had converged at the center.

To Li Ergou's surprise, at this point, the foundation field was complete, and everything should have ended.

However, a third of the Karma Golden Core remained, and it didn't stop. It continued to pour into the foundation field, causing its color to become increasingly golden.

Seeing this, Li Ergou couldn't help but worry. If this continued, wouldn't the foundation field explode? After all, this karma was too powerful.

When the Karma Golden Core had completely dissolved and all the karma had been poured into the foundation field, a mysterious golden tadpole-like rune materialized at the center of the foundation field.

The rune floated above the foundation field for a moment before finally falling into the center, embedding itself there, strangely.

Li Ergou was dumbfounded by this sight. He had never heard anyone say that a rune would appear on the foundation field. This was too bizarre.

At this moment, his foundation field was completely formed. As long as he experimented and compressed a spiritual energy vortex on it, if the foundation field remained stable, it would prove that he had successfully established his foundation.

Filled with excitement, he discovered that his foundation field remained golden for a long time. The golden color didn't fade. He had thought that the foundation field would return to its original color after the karma dissipated, but it didn't seem to be the case.

A normal foundation field has a white body and black mysterious patterns, representing the yin and yang forces of heaven and earth. But what was the deal with this golden foundation field? What did it represent? Could anyone tell him?

Li Ergou was dumbfounded. He was speechless. He hadn't expected to create a different kind of foundation field. If it stayed like this, he wondered if it would hinder his future cultivation.

He smiled wryly, but immediately stopped dwelling on it. He wanted to see if his foundation field was up to par. He began to circulate his cultivation technique, compressing the spiritual energy vortex. However, the compression process was very slow, frustratingly slow.

Perhaps they were right. His aptitude was too poor, and his cultivation speed was several times slower than normal. Even compressing this spiritual energy vortex was extremely difficult and slow.

Just as he was complaining, the tadpole rune in the center of the foundation field suddenly flickered, emitting a golden light. The spiritual energy vortex, illuminated by the golden light, was rapidly condensed and compressed. In a short while, it transformed into a mist-like substance and began to shrink continuously.

Seeing this strange scene, Li Ergou didn't know what to say. He suddenly realized that the golden rune was not simple. Perhaps that was the true power of karma.

At this moment, he was nothing but excited, extremely excited.

As the spiritual energy vortex was compressed into a mist-like substance, the massive spiritual energy vortex shrank by more than tenfold.

His dantian could now accommodate ten times more spiritual energy than during the Qi Refining stage. No wonder they said that the Foundation Establishment stage was a huge watershed compared to the Qi Refining stage. The storage of spiritual energy was simply worlds apart.

In this way, he could unleash more powerful spells and activate even more powerful techniques with his flying sword in the future.

To Li Ergou's surprise, the compressed mist was also turned golden.

He tested it and found that this golden spiritual energy was significantly more powerful than ordinary spiritual energy. If ordinary spiritual energy was one, then this golden spiritual energy was one point five. Such a large difference was truly incredible.

Thinking this, he pondered that it must be related to his foundation field. It seemed that this golden foundation field was truly extraordinary. With that, he felt relieved and happy.

Imagine, when fighting cultivators of the same cultivation level in the future, wouldn't he have a natural advantage?

Thinking this, he was smug and pleased.

In the following days, after his observation, the golden rune would only flicker once every twenty-four hours. Even so, it was much faster than refining these spiritual energy vortexes himself.

Because it took Li Ergou a full three days to completely compress a spiritual energy vortex into a mist-like substance.

And the power of this rune once was equivalent to three days of his cultivation speed. In this way, it was simply heaven-defying. Although so, perhaps he could only catch up with the cultivation speed of people with ordinary aptitude.

He couldn't compare with those heaven-defying disciples. Fortunately, the quality of his spiritual energy was stronger, which could make up for some of the gap. Li Ergou was still very satisfied.

This was truly as the Great White Elephant said, 'If talent is not enough, external objects can make up for it.'

Now that he had established his foundation, he was truly happy. What made him even happier was that his divine sense had also skyrocketed, increasing to a distance of a hundred meters. What did this mean? It meant that he could control his flying sword to attack freely within a hundred meters.

What is the most terrifying thing about a sword cultivator? It is the ability to take someone's head from a thousand miles away. But Li Ergou could only imagine it for now. It was too terrifying.

He happily came outside. With a thought, the Fish Scale Sword flew out with a whoosh. With his divine sense, it flew swiftly forward, eventually stopping at a hundred meters away. Although it was beyond a hundred meters, Li Ergou used his divine sense to observe, and it was as clear as if he were looking at it with his own eyes, even clearer.

In his excitement, he tried to see if he could use two Fish Scale Swords at the same time. After experimenting, although he could, it consumed a lot of divine sense. After a while, he would feel dizzy.

It seemed that unless he found a cultivation technique for divine sense and cultivated his divine sense to be stronger, it was best not to use it easily.

Upon entering the Foundation Establishment stage, sword cultivators could fly on their swords. Li Ergou wanted to try it, to see what it felt like.

With a thought, the Fish Scale Sword stopped in front of him. He jumped on it and used his divine power. The Fish Scale Sword began to rise. At this moment, the great rivers and mountains were under his feet. He saw Bitter Water County getting smaller and smaller. As the altitude rose, the scenery in his eyes became more and more beautiful. He truly had a feeling of 'I shall climb to the mountain's peak and survey all under my feet'.

He chose a direction and flew forward. The Fish Scale Sword was very fast. Li Ergou only felt the wind whistling in his ears, his robes fluttering, and his hair being blown around. Looking down, he felt a sense of dizziness.

With a thought, he immediately summoned a shield to block in front of him. In this way, he could block out the wind, and he felt much better.

After getting familiar with it for a while, flying in the sky, he felt as if he had really become a sword immortal. This feeling of showing off was very comfortable. No wonder everyone wanted to cultivate swordsmanship and become a sword cultivator.

This wonderful and comfortable feeling can only be understood and not expressed in words.

At this moment, you can see such a picture: a young man flying against the wind on a flying sword, with a huge red sun in front of him. The young man seems to be chasing the sun, very magnificent.
