Shen Feng waved his hand to Shi Feier and then said
"Let's find a place to build the foundation."
After saying that, they found a hidden cave nearby and hid in it. Shen Feng and the other three looked at each other, and then they began to sit cross-legged and meditate, and then restored their cultivation to its peak state before building the foundation.
After a while of burning incense, Shen Feng and the others began to swallow the foundation-building items one after another.
When Shen Feng swallowed the Golden Spirit Grass, it turned into a tide and poured into Shen Feng's heart and Dantian.
In an instant, it attacked Shen Feng's rock-like spiritual energy. Cracks began to appear in the rock's spiritual energy, and traces of spiritual energy emanated from it.
Shen Feng's whole body was already wet with sweat, because the impact on his heart and Dantian was far greater than the pain of the attack on his physical body.
If Shen Feng experienced the test of death before, then what he experienced this time was purgatory-like torture.
Shen Feng's cultivation also began to degrade from the ninth level of Qi Condensation to the first level of Qi Condensation. The boy had also instilled the knowledge of the foundation building process into Shen Feng before. The so-called foundation building means laying a good foundation for the future elixir formation and Nascent Soul. , lay a good foundation for becoming a god.
Only when the foundation is solid can the path of spiritual practice become more stable.
If you want to build a foundation, you must start from scratch, that is, scrap all the cultivation you have practiced before, and then start practicing again.
Depending on each person’s physique, the foundation building conditions at each same stage will also be different.
Some people can withstand the pain and wait until they reach the first level of Qi Condensation before starting to practice. This will make their foundation stronger, but some people cannot bear the pain and cannot persist at the third or fifth level of Qi Condensation. .
Then their foundation will be worse than those who have dropped to the Qi Condensation level and started practicing, and their strength will also be different.
As the cultivation level increases, the gap in strength will become more obvious.
And this is only the first stage of foundation building. After surviving the first stage, you still have to endure the pain of the second stage, which is the pain of 'building'.
It is said that steel can be made with repeated efforts. This is the truth. Once the foundation is built, then it is necessary to build the cornerstone on top of it.
The final shape was a pyramid, which required nine levels of casting. At this time, there will be a gap again. Some people cannot bear the pain of forging and stop at the fifth or sixth level.
Then the strength at this time will be inferior to that of the monks who have completely cast the nine-story pyramid. As the cultivation level increases, the gap in strength will become more obvious.
At this time, Shen Feng was still in the first stage of pain. He was sweating profusely, but he was still gritting his teeth and persisting.
Shi Fei'er and Zi Yun on the side were also suffering from the same pain. What they showed now was obvious physical exhaustion.
In fact, compared to them, Shen Feng suffered more pain, because he suffered both heart and Dantian pain.
If this happened to others, they would probably give up when they reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
But Shen Feng had already endured the collapse of the fourth level of Qi Condensation. Due to the tremendous pain, the flesh on his body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When a stick of incense passed, Shen Feng had reached the point where the third level of Qi Condensation collapsed. At this time, he had turned into a skin and bones, giving people a feeling of being disintegrated at the touch of a finger.
But who is Shen Feng? He has endured the pain of his Dantian being destroyed since he was a child, and then experienced the double test of thunder and fire, and only then has he reached this point.
Shen Feng was just holding on with a breath. His consciousness was now in a blurry state, and he could hardly distinguish between reality and dreams.
The collapse of the third level of Qi Condensation took a stick of incense, but Shen Feng felt as if it had taken a hundred years.
The next moment was the collapse of the second level of Qi Condensation. Shen Feng's white hair began to fall off slowly, and his teeth began to loosen and fall out one by one. If I could use one word to describe Shen Feng's state, it would be like a living dead.
Just when the second layer of Qi Condensation collapsed halfway, Shen Feng let out a lingering breath, and his consciousness completely dissipated.
As Shen Feng's consciousness dissipated, the collapse of the second level of Qi Condensation gradually began to stop. When it finally stopped, it would enter the second stage.
In the darkness of Shen Feng's consciousness, he saw a picture, where were all his memories.
When he was a child, he lost his parents, had no playmates, and played alone. His Dantian was destroyed and he was unable to practice. When he was finally able to practice one day, he was hunted down by strong men.
He told himself countless times to become a strong man, but at this moment he suddenly woke up, and the scene before him was so unfamiliar.
He was lying on a small bed in a room he had never seen before, when a middle-aged woman came over carrying dishes.
"Xiao Feng, come to eat."
Shen Feng asked curiously
"Who are you?"
The woman glanced at him and said
"You're being naughty again, aren't you? I'm your aunt, don't you recognize me? But yes, you kowtowed to the head last time, so you may have had temporary amnesia."
Shen Feng covered his head and thought for a long time but still had no impression. He said mockingly to himself.
"It turns out that my cultivation of immortality was just a dream."
He looked at the strange woman in front of him. Although he didn't recognize her, the woman's caring words made him feel warmer.
At this time, many children of his own age came to play with him. Shen Feng saw that he was surrounded by a group of children, and he was indescribably happy.
"Maybe this is my life."
Shen Feng has gradually given up his intention to practice cultivation, and he has begun to live his own happy life. Every day he is happy and carefree, but he always feels that something is missing in his heart.
He began to search for what he was missing, but could never find any clues.
The middle-aged woman saw that Shen Feng was depressed, so she stepped forward and said
"Xiao Feng, look at how round the moon is that day."
Shen Feng stared at the moon in the sky and kept muttering
"Moon, moon, moon, blood moon!"
The moment he said this name, his world began to fall apart, and all his former playmates shouted to him crazily.
"Shen Feng, don't leave, stay, there is everything you want here."
Shen Feng said desolately
"Everything? Then why is the blood moon missing? Isn't it possible for me to meet the blood moon in the dream? If all this is specially arranged by someone, then I don't need Shen Feng! I will make my own way. Walk!"
As he screamed crazily, the world he was in began to collapse, and he returned to his body, with intense pain stimulating every nerve in his body.
