Eternal Life: I Can Sell Everything

When Song Ciwan opened her eyes, her first instinct was to look inside her Dantian again.

She then discovered that after everything that had happened, her Dantian had become so vast it was nearly impossible to find its boundaries.

Originally, when she was cultivating the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting, a great lake-like True Qi Pool had formed in her Dantian.

The True Qi within the pool first condensed from gas to liquid, then vaporized back to gas. After this cycle repeated several times, she reached the state of Lifting Heavy as Light. It was at this point that her cultivation entered Late-stage Qi Refining.

Later, as her True Qi continued to swell and her mastery of Lifting Heavy as Light improved, the capacity of her True Qi Pool multiplied several times over. Thus, she reached the realm of Qi Cultivation Great Perfection.

All she needed was for the True Qi in her Dantian to overflow, for the Dantian Wall to expand once more, for the True Qi to become as heavy as lead and mercury, and for it to be able to enter her very marrow and connect with the spirit in her Sea of Consciousness, completing a cycle. Then, she would be able to break through Qi Refining and enter the Divinity Transformation Realm!

The path forward was clear and well-defined.

Although Song Ciwan had yet to obtain the Third Layer of the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting, she had recently amassed a great deal of qi, a large portion of which came from the Second Young Master, who was at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

With the Second Young Master’s qi, Song Ciwan could easily use the Heaven and Earth Scale to trade for the Third Layer of the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting.

Breaking through to Divinity Transformation was merely a matter of finding the right time; there shouldn’t have been any obstacles.

Of course, that was before there were no obstacles. Now, as Song Ciwan gazed at her Dantian, she fell into deep contemplation.

The True Qi Pool in her Dantian still existed, only now, she felt embarrassed to call it a "pool." Looking at this nearly boundless expanse, even "lake" felt like an understatement. Wouldn’t "sea" be the only appropriate term?

The only discrepancy with it being a "sea" was that a normal sea could never lack water.

Raging, surging waves are the norm for a sea.

But while Song Ciwan’s True Qi Sea was nearly boundless in its breadth, the "seawater"—the liquefied True Qi—was only a thin layer.

A shallow layer of liquefied True Qi rippled across the vast True Qi Sea. At first glance, it looked utterly pathetic.

And in the very center of that True Qi Sea, a submarine mountain range had risen up.

The mountain range was immense. Apart from its towering central peaks, the lower valleys and ridges sprawled out in all directions, stretching so far they nearly touched the Dantian Wall.

Clearly, it was this mountain range that had stretched Song Ciwan’s Dantian to its current size.

’How could I ever fill such an enormous Dantian with liquefied True Qi?’

As for having her True Qi overflow and surge into her marrow... that now seemed like an impossibly distant goal.

Seeing this, Song Ciwan was overcome with a strange feeling, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

’Sigh, what a complicated, bittersweet feeling. It’s hard to put into words!’

Of course, Song Ciwan knew that while she seemed further from the Divinity Transformation Stage, her actual cultivation had in fact increased by an unknown number of times.

She felt a sense of abundant power. The expansion of her Dantian didn’t just increase the difficulty of reaching Divinity Transformation; more importantly, it had strengthened Song Ciwan’s foundations.

For example, how did the Celestial Prides on the Ten Thousand Spirits Celestial Pride List make a habit of defeating cultivators of higher realms?

Song Ciwan didn’t know the secrets of the Celestial Prides, but she figured they must each have their own unique advantages. For example, having a Dantian capacity far beyond that of an ordinary person, like hers, was likely one such advantage.

’So this is Foundation Establishment. The benefits are quite numerous.’

’The Golden Core Dao, the Foundation Establishment Method... they certainly have their merits!’

Song Ciwan carefully examined the other changes in her body. She was still wary of this Foundation Establishment Method.

Her original plan was to first successfully establish her foundation, no matter what. Then, after leaving the Spirit Realm and returning to the Mortal World, she would quickly find a place to complete the Refinement of the Han Guang Glaze Residence. She would then hide inside it and slowly deal with the issue of her Foundation Establishment.

Alternatively, she could first master the Flesh and Blood Slaughter of the Thunder Fire Body Devouring Technique. Then, relying on its Blood and Flesh Rebirth Technique, she could self-destruct her Dantian and dig out the Tao Foundation created by the Foundation Establishment Method...

Or, she could focus all her efforts on cultivating the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting, break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, and then use the Mysteries of Divinity Transformation to resist the Tao Foundation in her Dantian...

Or... In short, Song Ciwan had considered all sorts of ideas and plans.

But after seeing the results of her Foundation Establishment, Song Ciwan couldn’t help but hesitate about all those plans.

She had taken a Pure Foundation Establishment Pill obtained through a trade with the Heaven and Earth Scale. It contained no Insect Eggs, so logically, her Foundation Establishment should be fine.

’Since that’s the case, do I really have to destroy this Tao Foundation?’

’Besides...’ Song Ciwan’s thoughts turned to the matter of her Spirit Root.

Song Ciwan was certain of one thing: she had no Spirit Root.

And after Foundation Establishment, she hadn’t grown a so-called Spirit Root either. After all, her Foundation Establishment Pill had no Insect Eggs, no insect silk, so how could it possibly produce one?

The reason she could capture Spiritual Qi from the air was that she had first reached the Qi Refining realm of a Great Zhou Cultivator and developed her own Spiritual Sense.

Her Spiritual Sense then mutated, granting her a brand-new, clearer perspective on the world, as well as the Abnormal Power to interact with Spiritual Qi. That was how Song Ciwan was able to capture it.

Thinking of this, Song Ciwan breathed a small sigh of relief.

’If there really are no other hidden dangers, then maybe I don’t have to destroy this Tao Foundation after all.’

After all, since completing the Tao Foundation, besides the expansion of her Dantian and the mutation of her Spiritual Sense, Song Ciwan also found that her comprehension seemed to have improved. That nine-story tower in her Dantian also held all sorts of mysteries, but she didn’t have time to study them in detail at the moment.

Just then, a gate of light appeared out of thin air in Cultivation Room, Earth Six.

Beyond the gate of light lay the Mortal World!

According to White Dragon Head, if Song Ciwan didn’t step through to the Mortal World within a quarter of an hour, she would be trapped in the Spirit Realm forever.

Song Ciwan decided to play it by ear, but first, she had to get out of this godforsaken place.

’I absolutely cannot stay in the Spirit Realm any longer!’

With this thought, Song Ciwan wasted no more time. She stood up, collecting her Pillow and Concentration Jade Pottery. Then, she walked to the gate of light. Just as she was about to step through, Song Ciwan suddenly turned around.

With a wave of her sleeve, a hurricane blasted through the Cultivation Room, scraping against the four walls.

This was the Wind Summoning Skill, part of the Celestial Spirit Daoist Skill, Call Wind and Rain. The powerful hurricane formed into highly precise Wind Sabers that whipped through the air, instantly shaving a layer of stone slabs off all four walls of the Cultivation Room.

Immediately after, the formless and intangible Heaven and Earth Scale flew out, and Song Ciwan quickly collected the scraped-off stone slabs into it.

Once the collection was successful, she turned and bolted.

Taking a single step through the gate of light, Song Ciwan’s vision went black, then brightened again. She had returned from the sealed Cultivation Room, from the thoroughly bizarre Spirit Realm, back to the Mortal World!
