<h4>Chapter 72 - Entering Foundation Establishment</h4>
After Sister Orb calmed herself, she continued with her exnation.
[Anyway, the Death Style thing gave you another 15 points of Destiny Energy, that''s it.]??
''It seems like Sister Orb doesn''t even want to pretend to be a machine anymore.''
"Cough, cough. So we have 65 points now. My beloved Sister Orb, would you mind to upgrade the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm for us, please?"
[Sure. It''s done.]
"It''s... done?"
Rean and Roan looked around and couldn''t see any difference what so ever.
"This was quite disappointing."
[What were you expecting? Fireworks? Shining Effects? I just lifted a restriction, that''s all. However, it was not possible before I got that Azure Spiritual Flower. So I guess I will thank you for this, at least.]
In the end, Rean couldn''t help butugh out loud.
[What is so funny?]
"Oh, nothing much. It''s just that this Sister Orb is a lot easier to talk with. That machine pretense was really annoying."
Suddenly, Rean and Roan were sent outside the Dimensional Realm, which took them by surprise. They then quickly put their clothes back beforementing.
"It seems like Sister Orb can feel embarrassed too."
Still, Rean and Roan could now feel a different type of connection between them and the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Rean took his back of Spirit Stones and focused on it and the Dimensional Realm at the same time.
*Vup!*
Right in front of his eyes, the bag disappeared. However, he could feel its presence inside the Dimensional Realm. Roan also tried the same thing and sent his bag inside. Seeing that, they couldn''t help but feel delighted by it.
"Very well, half of the dimensional realm is mine, and the other half is yours, agreed?"
Rean quickly nodded.
"Agreed. Also, no touching without the other''s permission."
They quickly shook their hands and nodded at each other.
"Another thing. Keep an empty bag with you all time. This way, we can pretend to take the stuff from inside. As for the Sword, it obviously wouldn''t fit inside the bag, so let''s keep it with us outside. It would be annoying to exin from where we took our weapons out."
Rean nodded once more.
"Alright."
Suddenly, Light Element started to gather around Rean and Roan''s body. The marks left behind by Sister Orb then quickly disappeared. Sister Orb''s attacks were basically painful but didn''t leave any real damage. With his Control of the Light Element, Rean could heal them in just a minute or so.
"How should we go with this Foundation Establishment Breakthrough?"
"It is written in the Dark and Light Element Cultivation Manuals. It seems like we need to build some kind of pirs that will support a future Core inside our Dantians."
[Correct.]
Sister Orb suddenly intervened.
[Also, the number of pirs will determine your future aplishments. That Juri and nda, for example, have three pirs each.]
Rean and Roan were taken aback by Sister Orb''s voice, but they quickly calmed down.
"How many pirs are possible to be built?"
[Usually, nine. But in your case, it has to be ten]
"Ten?"
[Yes. The nine standard ones, and one extra for Dark and Light Elements. This will put you far above others concerning aptitude and cultivation speed. The cultivation of a Foundation Establishment is given through the absorption of the Spiritual Energy through the Pirs. The more you have, the faster it will be.]
"I see, so Rean will need to make the Light Pir while I will create the Dark one."
[The opposite. The Light Pir goes to Roan, and the Dark Pir goes to Rean. Doing that will allow you two to exchange even more Light and Dark Element between each other. Did you forget, Roan? You already have an affinity with the Dark Element, and it is at the highest level. A Dark Element Pir would make no difference for you. The same goes for Rean and his Light Element.]
[What you two need is bnce, which is why you will build one pir with the opposite element.]
"Wouldn''t it generate a conflict between the two?"
[In someone else''s case, probably. But you two already have the connection between your elements. It has already be a natural thing to have the other''s element at your control. Your Foundations won''t find anything strange to have an opposite element pir there.]
"What about the other nine pirs? What do they represent them? Do they have elements?"
[No, they are just neutral pirs. That way, they would be able to absorb any other type of element. You can build them with Spiritual Energy. Of course, the more you build, the harder it bes. So make sure to have a lot of Spirit Stones avable.]
The twins nodded. At least it made things easier.
[When the timees to build the tenth pir, I will give you my support the same way I did when you created your light and dark dantains.]
After finishing exining everything, the twins immediately took out their Spirit Stones. They had a lot of free time and nothing better to do at the moment, so they might as well go ahead with it.
[Concentrate the Spiritual Energy inside your Dantians. Each pir has to be aligned around the Spiritual Energy Pool. Remember that these pirs will grow and breakthrough the Dantian Shell, arriving on the outside. It is because they have contact with the outside world that they can absorb so much more Spiritual Energy.]
Rean and Roan nodded and followed Sister Orb''s order. Suddenly, they felt like something like a lock was open in their Dantians. It was quite a magical feeling.
[That is the proof that you can enter the Foundation Establishment. The acknowledgment of heaven and earth, which allows you to build the pirs. Without that, there would be nothing you could do. That is also why you can''t create a foundation the moment you enter the Energy Gathering Realm either.]
The twins nodded. Spiritual Energy started to gather into a single point inside their Spiritual Energy Pool. That is Rean and Roan''s Spiritual Energy Reserves. The ce where they and all the other Energy Gathering Realm cultivators take Spiritual Energy from. Sure enough, the pirs would be built inside Rean and Roan''s pools.
