Chapter 41: First Ever in the Sect, Martial Dao Prodigy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation           Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The commotion at the earth fire spiritual land attracted the attention of the entire sect!

Countless outer sect disciples in the surroundings, as well as inner sect disciples in high locations, were attracted by the sudden, loud noise!

At the same time, the faces of the elders all turned serious when they heard the noise!

At this moment, on the mountain road, Li Ming was wearing a long green robe. He stretched out both of his arms, and his bones popped satisfyingly as he did so. A comfortable feeling engulfed his entire body!

He felt as if his entire body had sublimated and as if he had shed his mortal body!

It was said that cultivation pursued the limits. Immortals were quite similar to Gods and Buddhas as they sought eternal life!

And the very first step in this long, long path was to shed the mortal shell!

On the path of qi refinement, one could become an immortal with an endless lifespan when they reached the peak. The mortal body was an obstacle. Qi refinement would have one cultivate qi and abandon the physical body. In the later stages, the cultivator would focus on the divine soul.

However, body refinement was different. Body refinement focused on the fleshly body, and becoming a saint was the ultimate goal!

At this moment, Li Ming could clearly feel the charm of the martial dao foundation establishment stage. His entire body felt so light that he felt he could float in the wind, but it was surging with a mountainous strength at the same time!

“The martial dao foundation establishment stage is indeed extraordinary!” Li Ming’s face was filled with joy. He had worked hard for so long. During his stay in the Divine Will Sect, he had suffered countless ridicule. But now, he could be considered to have successfully established his foundation!

Even though he was not a qi refinement foundation establishment cultivator, he was still a foundation establishment cultivator!

While Li Ming was sighing, the voices of the surrounding disciples could be heard.

He, who cultivated his divine soul, had become naturally particularly sensitive to the wind and grass in his surroundings.

“Li Ming? That loud vibration came from the direction he came from!”

“That’s right! I heard that he went to the earth fire spiritual land. Could it be that he went there to refine pills? ”

“That can’t be right! When did he learn how to refine pills?”

The cultivation of the outer sect disciples was not high. Most of them were around the fifth level of qi refinement. As such, they naturally could not see through Li Ming, who was already at the foundation establishment stage!

“This guy has actually reached the foundation establishment stage?”

All of a sudden, the inner sect disciples noticed something strange about Li Ming!

Anyone who entered the foundation establishment stage would have a foundation establishment stone platform appear in their dantian. This was characteristic to all qi refinement foundation establishment cultivators. Their dantians would give birth to a platform as soon as they reached the foundation establishment stage, and the platform was their foundation. As their qi refinement solidified, the spiritual qi on the platform would become increasingly richer!

Because of this, a foundation establishment cultivator would emit fresh spiritual qi from their bodies. After attaining foundation establishment, the spiritual qi from qi refinement could be converted and used for their personal use. At the same time, it would also be unintentionally released by their bodies! Most inner sect disciples were at the perfected level of the qi refinement stage. All of them dreamed of reaching the foundation establishment stage, so they naturally familiarized themselves with this knowledge!

However… Li Ming was only at the ninth level of the qi refinement stage, so how could he have possibly already established his foundation?

Therefore, the only possibility was the martial dao!

“Martial dao foundation establishment?”

“I really did not expect this fool to be able to achieve the martial dao foundation establishment stage! ”

“However, what’s the use of attaining the martial dao foundation establishment stage? It’s nothing more than turning from a little boorish man into a big boorish man. In the end, it’s not the right path!”

“That’s right. When we reach the foundation establishment stage, we’ll definitely be stronger than him!”

The body refinement foundation establishment stage had been unheard of for a hundred years!

The Divine Will Sect was a hegemon with a long history, but there had never been anyone who had reached the martial dao foundation establishment stage among its members!

Just as the disciples were scoffing at Li Ming, Elder MO appeared in front of them!

A month ago, Li Ming applied to enter the earth fire spiritual land. A month later, the sect was shaken. Something unusual must have happened in the spiritual land.

But now, when Li Ming walked out, his temperament had completely changed from before!

With Elder Mo’s cultivation, he could easily tell that Li Ming had indeed reached the martial dao foundation establishment stage!

“Li Ming, martial dao foundation establishment stage. You are the first person since the establishment of the sect to achieve this feat! Not bad, not bad! The sect did not misjudge you.”

“However, although you have already established your foundation in the martial dao, the path of qi cultivation is still more important. Do not abandon

Although Elder MO was also shocked that Li Ming was able to reach the martial dao foundation establishment stage, the path of body refinement was extremely difficult. Every step after reaching the foundation establishment stage in the martial dao was extremely difficult!

He believed that Li Ming was able to attain the martial dao foundation establishment stage due to his extraordinary talent. If he were to refine qi, he would definitely be even more outstanding!

Elder Mo’s words made the surrounding disciples think that the martial dao foundation establishment was trash!

They all saw Li Ming to have gone on the completely wrong path!

Otherwise, with his talent, he would have been able to advance by leaps and bounds and become the most dazzling prodigy in the sect!

But now, even though he had reached the foundation establishment stage through the martial dao, his qi cultivation was still a complete mess!

“I will keep Elder Mo

t

s teachings in mind.”

Li Ming cupped his hands and did not refute.

He was the most clear about the effects of body refinement. Without experiencing it personally, how could he understand the wondrous effects of body refinement?

Moreover, Li Ming had all kinds of entries added to his body at this point, and his talent had undergone humungous changes. He had long since jumped from being extremely untalented to an outstanding disciple.

In the past, he had hidden himself in all sorts of ways, afraid that others would find out that he was lacking in talent. But now, Li Ming clearly no longer needed to do so.

“Tsk, I thought that it was amazing, but it isn’t even as good as the qi refinement foundation establishment! ”

“That’s right! Right now, all the inner sect disciples are trying to break through to the foundation establishment stage. When they come out, won’t they be able to crush Li Ming in minutes?”

“I’d like to know how powerful Senior Brother Li Ming is in the inner sect competition. If possible, I’ll go for body refinement too!”

The disciples had differing opinions. Some of them wanted to see Li Ming, who had attained the martial dao foundation establishment stage, shine brightly in the inner sect. This would also provide a path for disciples with poor qi cultivation talent like them!

Of course, if he failed to do so, no one would be surprised.

Soon, Li Ming returned to his cave abode.

Li Ming also calculated carefully.

This time, he was able to complete the breakthrough and reach the martial dao foundation establishment stage. The help of the earth fire spiritual land was huge. During the time he was in there, the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art had reached the seventh level!

Moreover, having officially entered the martial dao foundation establishment stage, Li Ming could start cultivating the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art!

The effect of body refinement was obvious, and the increase in combat strength was even more so. This made Li Ming even more determined not to abandon the path of body refinement!

With the two entries of [Martial Dao Prodigy] and [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians], Li Ming could be said to have no pressure in terms of body tempering!

He had long gotten used to the pain of body refinement over the years.

This time, not only did he successfully complete his martial dao foundation establishment, but his qi cultivation also increased!

He had reached the tenth level of qi refinement!

The breakthrough in body refinement had greatly improved his physical body, and his absorption of heaven and earth spiritual energy had increased!

Adding the benefits from the entries on top of that, his qi refining talent right now could be considered top-tier!

If his qi refinement reached the foundation establishment as well, wouldn’t his strength go up another level?

In terms of body refinement, Li Ming was in no hurry to start cultivating the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art. He planned to consolidate his foundation for a few days first before he continued his cultivation in body tempering!

Apart from this, he also planned to put in some effort in qi refinement!

To reach the perfected level of qi refinement, one needed to reach the twelfth level of qi refinement. Now that he had the help of the entry [Lifetime of Qi Refinement], Li Ming naturally would not slack off.

Although his talent in qi refinement was extremely poor, it would be a great help if he could advance by one level.

“I wonder if Junior Sister Chen’s foundation establishment is going smoothly?” When he returned to his cave abode, Li Ming could not help but think of Chen Qingke.

That girl was extremely talented, and she had obtained many treasures in the trial. With her talent, she should be able to smoothly establish her foundation.

Li Ming abandoned his thoughts and began to cultivate.. After all, there were still seven days before the inner sect grand competition!
