Chapter 164: Drives out the Demon Air/Qi

Having successfully completed Foundation Building, Meng Zhang's life underwent a fundamental transformation. From this point on, he finally had some capital to stand in the Cultivation World.

For ancient cultivators, Foundation Building is the starting point of cultivation. Before reaching Foundation Building, cultivators can only be considered to have one foot inside the door of cultivation, and they cannot be truly called cultivators.

After Foundation Building, Meng Zhang was about to embark on a brand-new beginning.

Meng Zhang effortlessly passed the difficult barrier of Foundation Building that had troubled most Refining Qi stage cultivators in the Cultivation World.

Following his successful Foundation Building, Meng Zhang started to familiarize himself with the new abilities that come with this stage. For Foundation Building cultivators, divine consciousness is the most crucial ability. With gradual training, the range and sensitivity of their divine consciousness will increase.

During the Refining Qi stage, although Meng Zhang could achieve "Divine Soul Leaving the Body," he couldn't venture too far away from his physical body. Apart from entering special places like Trial Grounds, his soul couldn't stay outside for too long.

Upon entering the Foundation Building stage, Meng Zhang's soul could travel far away from his body, up to ten miles. Moreover, he had also stopped further strengthening his soul, allowing it to advance.

In the Foundation Building stage, cultivators have a special focus on enhancing the strength and abilities of their souls. Initially, Meng Zhang's soul could only perform simple soul travel, withstanding the strongest winds at best. As his Cultivation Base improved, the range of soul travel expanded.

In the mid-stage of Foundation Building, his soul could travel under the sunlight. Soul travel in daylight marked the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

By the late stage of Foundation Building, his soul could even possess others' bodies after their death, giving the cultivator a chance to start anew even if their physical body was destroyed.

After Meng Zhang cultivated the Sun and Moon True Qi, he could use Solar True Qi and Lunar True Qi separately or merge them into Sun-Moon True Qi. This not only provided him with more tactical options but also represented a substantial improvement in true qi.

As for abilities like controlling wind and flying with the wind, which were common among Foundation Building stage cultivators, they were relatively insignificant.

After becoming familiar with the state of the Foundation Building stage, Meng Zhang left seclusion and appeared before Luo Ye.

Meng Zhang had spent just over half a year in seclusion this time, successfully completing his cultivation. At present, he was still a few days away from turning thirty-one.

During these three months, both Luo Ye and Meng Zhang faced numerous difficulties and dangers, underestimating the power of the demon air.

The demon air was not only powerful and stubbornly pervasive, but it also seemed to possess a kind of instinct, almost like a living being.

Luo Ye and Meng Zhang were dealing with something far beyond mere forces; they were facing living entities with various reactions.

After each time they exhausted their true qi, they quickly swallowed pills to restore it, and pill toxins accumulated in their bodies rapidly.

Fortunately, Meng Zhang and Jue Ying had a considerable number of stone stalactites. By alternating their usage, they managed to eliminate the pill toxins and continue taking new pills.

Before the stone stalactites were depleted, they finally succeeded in driving out the demon air from Luo Ye's body.

It was an arduous and extraordinary battle, during which Meng Zhang not only gained unprecedented training but also accumulated rich experience in combating demon air.

Luo Ye was now free from the torment, her body fully restored, and his Cultivation Base unaffected, with a stable foundation.

On the other hand, Meng Zhang had nearly been contaminated by the demon air several times and suffered some damage to his foundation. Until his foundation was repaired, his Cultivation Base couldn't be further improved.

To mend his foundation without any special opportunities, it would take at least 20-30 years.

However, Meng Zhang didn't pay much attention to it; after all, he was still young, and delaying cultivation for 20-30 years was not a significant concern. Moreover, if he could obtain suitable spiritual treasures or pills to mend his foundation, it wouldn't be a problem.

Luo Ye, who had been troubled by the demon air for many years, was now in high spirits.

"Little Sect Master Meng, I won't say much about the gratitude I owe you. The favor of giving me a new lease on life is unforgettable."

"I thought my life was over, but you brought new hope. I originally believed that after expelling the demon air, preserving my Cultivation Base would be considered good enough. Unexpectedly, your Sun-Moon True Qi is truly profound. It not only expelled the demon air but also preserved my foundation, giving me hope to break through to the Gold Core stage."
