Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 51 - 50: Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment Method

Chapter 51: Chapter 50: Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment Method

After a cultivator reaches Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Perfection, they proceed to Foundation Establishment, which demands high aptitude, making it almost impossible for those with average or lower talent.

Besides having sufficient cultivation, one needs to obtain an elixir pill refined from many celestial and earthly treasures to increase the probability of foundation establishment—a Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, a Foundation Establishment Pill signifies an increased chance of succeeding, is expensive, and rarely seen.

These pills are considered strategic resources by sects, making them often available only in name, difficult for ordinary cultivators to acquire.

Yet within the cultivation realm, talents abound, and methods of foundation establishment vary widely, far from singular.

Relying solely on one’s profound background and robust cultivation to establish a foundation without external aids is known as Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment.

Consuming a Foundation Establishment Pill is known as Alchemy Foundation Establishment.

In addition, certain top-grade heaven and earth spirit plants can assist in foundation establishment through special means, known as Spirit Plant Foundation Establishment.

Similarly, there’s the so-called Spiritual Object Foundation Establishment. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

This secret method taught by a true disciple of the Little Five Elements Sword Sect is an even rarer method, Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment.

More accurately, it’s a smaller branch within Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment, Sword Artifact Foundation Establishment!

Legend has it that ancient artifact refiners pioneered the precedent for Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment.

The Small Five Elements Sword Casting Foundation Method is one such kind.

Suitable for cultivators with unimpressive spirit root talent, nurturing an artifact refining treasure embryo within the body.

Similar to a pregnant woman nurturing a child for ten months, using one’s essence blood and spiritual qi to nurture until reaching a level of mutual understanding and blood connection.

Equivalent to forging a pseudo spirit root anew, significantly increasing the success rate of foundation establishment.

Of course, why Foundation Establishment Pills are favored in today’s cultivation realm is because this method is relatively simpler and easier to acquire.

Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment, however, is the most straightforward but with a low success rate.

As for Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment, it is not without requirements; rather, it’s due to its stringent demands that it has gradually been lost and is unknown.

One aspect of Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment is the high physical demands on the cultivator, needing to be close to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator level to withstand the impact of magical artifact spiritual power infusing the body.

Secondly, a cultivator must have the immense spiritual power needed to fully refine the artifact; otherwise, success is unattainable.

The third point, most crucially.

The magical artifact required for Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment isn’t an ordinary magical artifact but rather an artifact embryo that has self-nurtured and developed spirituality.

While an artifact embryo isn’t a true magical treasure, and its power may not compare to the spiritual artifacts wielded by Purple Mansion Cultivators, the demand for an artifact to develop spirituality is already rare, indicating the possibility of evolving into a legendary magical treasure.

This requirement is high; an artifact embryo alone might cost a Foundation Establishment Cultivator their entire fortune, let alone a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator.

Moreover, refining an artifact embryo is ten times more challenging than refining any equally powerful magical artifact. How could ordinary Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators have such capabilities?

These harsh conditions have led to the gradual disappearance of alternative foundation establishment methods.

Thus, when Zheng Yi finally chose this Small Five Elements Sword Casting Foundation Method, even the true disciple from the Little Five Elements Sword Sect was a bit puzzled.

Yet at the time, he was bent on dying and cared little for Zheng Yi’s choice.

He was only concerned with fulfilling his promise.

However, for Zheng Yi, upon thoroughly studying the Small Five Elements Sword Casting Foundation Method, it sparked certain thoughts uncontrollably.

Zheng Yi himself wasn’t particularly talented, having mixed spirit roots of four types; otherwise, he wouldn’t be a mere loose cultivator in Profound Void City.

But this Small Five Elements Sword Casting Foundation Method undoubtedly gave him strong confidence to pursue a long cultivation path.

Leaning against a doomsday world, for Zheng Yi to barely achieve ordinary foundation establishment would likely be unsatisfactory even to himself.

Previously lacking good methods, Zheng Yi planned to reach Qi Cultivation Perfection, then thoroughly prepare by finding ways to enhance his talent for a better cultivation journey.

Now, with the Small Five Elements Sword Casting Foundation Method, using sword artifacts as a foundation, one can reshape five elements pseudo spirit roots, subtly enhancing the cultivator’s spirit root talent during this critical foundation establishment phase.

Admittedly, it carries high demands, but after consideration, Zheng Yi found this foundation establishment way undoubtedly suited his circumstances.

Firstly, regarding the artifact embryo, the true disciple of the Little Five Elements Sword Sect likely didn’t know that the Qi Family spent a century through three generations nurturing five-headed Blood Embryo Ghost Infants.

These ghost infants now all belong to Zheng Yi, and combined with resources from the doomsday world, he is confident in forging artifact embryo level sword embryos.

Ancient cultivators, even opting for Magic Artifact Foundation Establishment, chose their best spirit root talent to nurture an artifact embryo of the same attribute, further boosting their cultivation talent.

But Zheng Yi’s idea was even more audacious; if he was going to do it, he would do it the best.

Being a four-spirit root bearer, each spirit root’s spiritual qi affinity is similar, roughly below thirty percent; having chosen the Small Five Elements Sword Casting Foundation Method, he might as well achieve Five Elements Perfection.

Zheng Yi planned to use the five-headed Blood Embryo Ghost Infant as his artifact spirit to directly refine a Five Elements Treasure Sword Embryo. Then, by establishing a foundation with five sword embryos, refine five pseudo spirit roots with five attributes, thereby permanently elevating his spirit root talent.

As for obtaining the immense spiritual power required to refine five sword embryos, that relies on cultivating the Black Evil Technique.

As long as Zheng Yi continues to cultivate the Black Evil Technique, refine more resentful ghosts, and elevate his evil qi to Ink Spirit Evil’s peak, or even Purple Demon Fiend level, refining five sword embryos becomes manageable.

Of course, collecting and refining treasures and resources needed for the five-element sword embryos entails a vast quantity.

Thus, Zheng Yi must plan ahead and devise a mutually beneficial plan to utilize resources from the doomsday world.

Moreover, he is not in immediate need and still has time to prepare.

Having a direction is undoubtedly beneficial for the future.

It did not take long for Zheng Yi to find what he desired.

Beneath the Black Iron Ore Vein, within the maze of the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Extinct Meridian Array, there lies a secret stone chamber housing various evil secret arts the Qi Family has accumulated over the years from many places.

Many are quite cruel Demon Dao secret skills, in which Zheng Yi had no interest.

Yet these items could expand one’s horizons and broaden one’s view, enhancing one’s cultivation realm foundation.

After some time, Zheng Yi discovered something of interest, a rare artifact refining manual.

Named the Five Poison Spirit-Slaying Sword.

This artifact refining manual originates from a Demon Dao Sect, the Five Poison Sect.

A Foundation Establishment level power from the northern region, allegedly a minor branch of the ancient Gu God Sect, though now it’s gradually declining.

Nevertheless, a broken ship still has three pounds of nails, and the Five Poison Spirit-Slaying Sword secret technique remnant manuscript is what passed from the Five Poison Sect.
