Chapter 45: Martial Dao Foundation Establishment VS Qj Refinement Foundation Establishment
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Qingke’s words undoubtedly made Li Ming the target of public criticism.
Originally, these disciples were already very dissatisfied with Li Ming being akin to a dog in the manger, but the inner sect prodigy, Chen Qingke, whom all of them admired, just so happened to be protective of him.
This naturally caused even greater dissatisfaction toward Li Ming.
As the saying went, since ancient times, beautiful women often bring disaster.
Li Ming knew this, but Chen Qingke obviously did not have such thoughts.
In the end, however, Li Ming did not care.
In the past three years, he had suffered countless ridicule and gazes of disdain from others in the sect because of his practice of body cultivation.
He had long since gotten used to such treatment.
Those of the mortal world had two ears that did not pay attention to outside matters and only focused on reading the books of the sages, while Li Ming only wanted to cultivate his body.
As for everything else?
He never paid them much care.
And so, the inner sect grand competition continued.
As the inner sect disciples competed amongst themselves, the battles became extremely intense!
The competitions between those at the foundation establishment stage were especially intense!
While they might only seem like a simple clash of moves on the surface, a competition of their past foundations and techniques occurred beneath!
Seeing the battles end one after another and the disciples win one after another, Li Ming had clearly become a little restless.
Although he did not care about what others thought, he also yearned to take part in the inner sect grand competition!
Li Ming had been brought here by the elder with great hopes. Even though he had disappointed the sect greatly over the past years, Li Ming had never given up.
The path of immortal cultivation was extremely elusive for mortals, but now that Li Ming had reached the foundation establishment stage, he would naturally give it his all!
He would succeed in this inner sect grand competition and change his future!
Only by winning could he obtain better resources.
Body cultivation was even more difficult than qi cultivation. Without some medicinal herbs or spiritual herbs to aid his body, even if he practiced slowly, his innate recovery ability might not be able to keep up with the damages to his body.
Compared to the medicinal pills and magical treasures needed for qi cultivation, the things needed for body cultivation were resources directly related to the physical body.
A person’s innate recovery ability was generally not that strong. Although attaining the martial dao foundation establishment stage had improved Li Ming’s physical body significantly, it was still far from enough.
In addition, it was only by entering the inner court, which was the true core of the Divine Will Sect, that Li Ming would be able to understand more about this world. Only then would he be able to understand more about what the world of cultivators was like!
Resources were more important than anything.
As the number one sect in the Heavenly Southern Region of the Eastern Continent, Divine Will Sect naturally had a deep foundation.
Soon, more than ten matches had already finished.
The victors were all relaxing and recuperating, waiting for their next battle.
At this moment, it was finally Li Ming’s turn.
“Senior brother, you can do it!” “You will definitely win!”
Chen Qingke cheered him on happily.
She obviously believed in Li Ming very much.
In contrast, the other disciples looked at Li Ming with hatred.
At this moment, at the side of the platform, the gazes of a few elite disciples also landed on Li Ming.
One of these elite disciples was a woman named Lu Lan, whom Li Ming had met before.
“This Li Ming is the first person in the Heavenly Southern Region to reach foundation establishment through body cultivation in the past thousand years.”
“I wonder how strong the martial dao foundation establishment is?”
A few elite disciples sized up Li Ming. They could indeed feel a burst of powerful energy from him.
However, none of them knew what the standard of the martial dao foundation establishment stage was!
No one knew how strong the martial dao foundation establishment was. During the period when a body cultivator was at the body tempering stage, they could suppress those at the qi refinement stage to a certain extent.
However, after a qi cultivator reached the foundation establishment stage, the strength of qi cultivators would experience a qualitative leap.
It was a direct qualitative change!
Once they were at the foundation establishment stage, they would have a huge amount of spiritual qi, powerful magical arts and techniques, and magical treasures.
These were all things that martial dao foundation establishment cultivators could not compare to!
Not only were the elite disciples curious, but even the inner and outer sect elders were very curious.
If Li Ming’s martial dao foundation establishment proved to be viable, then the elders who managed the sect would naturally consider developing the path of body cultivation.
After all, any method that could strengthen the sect was something that the sect needed to consider.
Being able to develop a hundred schools of thought would lead to a period of great prosperity.
“Senior Brother Li Ming, you’re truly impressive. You’re first person in the sect, and even in the Heavenly South Region, to reach the martial dao foundation establishment stage.”
“It’s my pleasure to be the first person to fight Senior Brother Li Ming.”
Yun Changtian was very polite, unlike the other disciples who only knew to be rude to Li Ming.
In truth, Yun Changtian was also very curious.
He was very curious about the strength of the martial dao foundation establishment stage!
Seeing the other party like this, Li Ming naturally chuckled. “Junior Brother Yun is too kind.”
“This is a competition. Junior Brother Yun, let’s begin.”
Li Ming did not say much. He placed one hand behind his back and stretched out the other, ready to welcome his opponent.
Seeing Li Ming’s posture, Yun Changtian did not hesitate any longer.
He took a step forward and waved his hand. Instantly, a magical treasure sword appeared!
He controlled the sword to slash at him in quick succession!
Blades of sword qi interlaced together and instantly burst with a fiery flame!
He transformed his spiritual qi into sword flame, blasting out with what seemed to be the blazing sun, constantly brandishing his sword qi at Li Ming!
This was Yun Changtian’s Three Flame Sword Art!
It was a high-grade yellow-tier magical art!
When using this magical art, he could make use of the three corresponding flames, namely the borrowed earth flame and heavenly flame, and his own foundation establishment true flame!
Each one was stronger than the last, and the addition of each one increased the might of this move to a completely new level!
Li Ming did not move at all as he watched the flaming sword qi come right at him.
Li Ming had withstood the tempering of the heavenly flames.
The heaven and earth flames that Yun Changtian borrowed were obviously incomparable to the heavenly flames that he had made use of!
The power of the heavenly flames triggered by the Golden Crow Body
Tempering Technique was not something that ordinary flames could compare
Li Ming did not hesitate at all when the sword qi descended upon him.
He immediately executed the fire fist of the Five Divine Fist and forcefully dispersed the attack!
Li Ming was actually left completely unscathed from that exchange.
“Junior Brother Yun, I shall begin.”
Before Yun Changtian could react, Li Ming had disappeared!
On the entire arena, loud crackling sounds could be heard. Rays of silvery-white light appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Accompanied by the constant whistling of the wind, Yun Changtian was left in a completely passive position!
He could feel that Li Ming was on the stage, right in the midst of the wind and lightning, but he could not determine his exact location! Yun Changtian had no choice but to take out his own defensive magical treasure and use his spiritual qi to form a shield around him!
“A defensive skill of the high-grade yellow-tier!”
“What exactly did Li Ming do? Senior Brother Yun actually took out a defensive skill and a magical treasure of such a high level!”
“Li Ming’s movement technique is so strange!”
Below the stage, many disciples were looking at the arena intently. However, Li Ming’s figure seemed to have disappeared. With their cultivation, they could only feel the crackling of thunder and the gusts of wind!
They could not see him at all!
Only the elite disciples and the elders could see him clearly.
At this moment, Li Ming was circling around Yun Changtian in an extremely strange way!
