Li Qinghai had a strong premonition.


    If he failed to establish his Foundation this time, he would die!


    This was his own karma; if he died, his soul would dissipate, never to be reborn.


    He absolutely could not allow this to happen!


    Dazed and groggy, Li Qinghai forced himself to stand and once again entered a state of breakthrough.


    At the same time, he desperately tried to operate the Five Element Longevity Scroll, hoping to seize control of the technique.


    But the Five Element Longevity Scroll still wouldn''t obey, continuing to run autonomously.


    Since he couldn''t control the Longevity Scroll, he needed to quickly find an opportunity for a breakthrough.


    Li Qinghai looked inward at his dantian, mobilizing the spiritual liquid beneath it, attempting to condense a Foundation Lotus Platform.


    After a while, the lotus platform gradually began to take shape again.


    Just when Li Qinghai thought he saw a glimmer of hope, the Longevity Scroll surged with a vast vitality, crashing into the lotus platform.


    Boom!


    The lotus platform exploded once more!


    Pfft!


    Li Qinghai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood again.


    At this moment, Li Qinghai''s face was pale, his eyes lifeless, his eye sockets sunken, and his lips trembling, like a candle in the wind, a dying old man.


    Failing to establish his Foundation twice in a row had caused his dantian to crack and his mind to be shaken.


    If it were any other cultivator, they would have fainted after the first failure.


    Fortunately, due to the existence of the Book of Good Fortune, Li Qinghai did not feel this terrible pain, and there was still a last trace of consciousness lingering in his mind.


    This last bit of consciousness was like the final weak candlelight, preventing Li Qinghai from falling completely into darkness.


    Don''t panic!


    Stay calm!!


    Li Qinghai kept reminding himself, forcing himself to calm down.


    Once again, he forced himself up and looked inward at his dantian!


    The lotus platform he had just built had already disintegrated, and his dantian was on the verge of complete collapse from the impact.


    Such a dantian could no longer withstand any more torment.


    Li Qinghai knew that if he failed to establish his Foundation again, he would face death by body explosion.


    He dared not act rashly and began to carefully observe, looking for a way to solve the problem.


    If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    The Five Element Longevity Scroll continued to operate autonomously.


    The vitality of his body was being sent into his dantian time and again.


    This caused Li Qinghai''s body to gradually become emaciated, and his skin to turn dull.


    The only consolation was that under the nourishment of the immense vitality, the cracks in his dantian were slowly healing.


    But what use was nourishing the dantian if the body was going to be destroyed, and he would die in the end anyway?


    Seeing this situation, Li Qinghai was anxious.


    He couldn''t help but wonder.


    What the hell does this damn technique want to do?


    Kill him?


    How could a technique without self-awareness have the intention to kill him?


    It must have been triggered by some special condition, causing this instinctive reaction of the technique.


    Right.


    It''s the Foundation Establishment.


    Every time he tried to establish his Foundation, it would destroy his lotus platform.


    Could it be that it didn''t want him to establish his Foundation?


    Or perhaps it looked down on the Foundation Lotus Platform?


    But what difference does it make if it looks down on it? Damn it, I don''t know any other method of Foundation Establishment.


    Just as Li Qinghai was at a loss, cursing under his breath.


    His dantian underwent another change.


    Under the nourishment of his body''s vitality, his dantian was now completely healed.


    At the same time, the spiritual liquid in his dantian began to rise.


    The azure spiritual liquid, infused with immense vitality, gathered in the center of his dantian, gradually forming a... Dao Platform prototype!


    Li Qinghai was slightly startled.


    In the books he had read, everyone established a Foundation Lotus Platform.


    Why was he the only one with a Dao Platform?!


    Despite his confusion, Li Qinghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    As long as he could successfully establish his Foundation and survive, it didn''t matter what kind of platform it was.


    Just when Li Qinghai thought his Foundation Establishment was about to stabilize.


    Another change occurred.


    After the Dao Platform prototype formed, it suddenly began to spin, displaying a terrifying devouring ability.


    The spiritual liquid beneath his dantian was swept up by the vortex and swallowed into the Dao Platform.


    In just a few breaths, not a single drop of spiritual liquid was left in his dantian!


    The insatiable Dao Platform began to demand more, its powerful devouring ability sweeping through his entire dantian.


    The Five Element Longevity Scroll was drawn in, rapidly operating.


    Instantly, all of Li Qinghai''s pores opened, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world.


    At the same time, the vitality of Li Qinghai''s physical body was also being sent into the Dao Platform.


    His body, which had already lost some vitality, looked frail enough.


    And now, it was visibly withering at an accelerated pace.


    With vitality rapidly draining away, Li Qinghai looked like a dried-up corpse, skin stretched over bones.


    His skin, devoid of moisture and vitality, began to crack like parched earth.


    Damn!


    Li Qinghai was startled.


    At this rate, he would die from the loss of life force before he could successfully establish his Foundation.


    But now, the technique was already operating at its limit, his entire body absorbing spiritual energy, and even that couldn''t satisfy the Dao Platform, so there was nothing he could do.


    Wait.


    Pills!


    In a moment of desperation, Li Qinghai had a flash of insight and quickly reached out with his withered hand, tapping his Storage Bag.


    Several bottles of Foundation Elixirs appeared in his hand.


    With almost no vitality left, Li Qinghai found it extremely difficult to hold the bottles of pills, as if he were lifting mountains.


    He poured out the pills and struggled to send them into his mouth.


    Gulp.


    He swallowed a Foundation Elixir.


    Before the Foundation Elixir could transform into abundant spiritual energy, it was directly absorbed by the Dao Platform.


    What kind of monster is this?


    The Foundation Elixir is a pill used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, one pill equivalent to a hundred Qi Gathering Elixirs.


    Yet in front of this Dao Platform, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, not causing even a ripple.


    Fortunately, Li Qinghai could feel that the moment the Dao Platform swallowed the Foundation Elixir, the speed at which it devoured his vitality paused for a moment.


    This was absolutely fantastic news!


    Li Qinghai dared not hesitate, sending one Foundation Elixir after another into his dantian.


    After a while, when Li Qinghai continued to pour pills from the bottle, he found there were none left.


    He had consumed dozens of Foundation Elixirs in total.


    Now, he didn''t have a single pill left.


    He could only leave it to fate.


    Li Qinghai focused on the situation inside his dantian.


    At this moment, the spinning speed of the Dao Platform had noticeably slowed down.


    The Dao Platform finally stopped absorbing his vitality, and the absorption of external spiritual energy and the Dao Platform''s devouring had reached a relatively stable balance.


    Outside the wooden hut, Jian Jiu floated in the air.


    He watched the continuously surging spiritual energy with a slight frown.


    Foundation Establishment? Does it require so much spiritual energy?


    Moreover, hasn''t this Foundation Establishment taken too long?


    Despite his doubts, Jian Jiu continued to watch silently.


    He didn''t extend his divine sense to observe Li Qinghai; the last thing you want during a breakthrough is to be disturbed.


    If by any chance, Li Qinghai were to suffer from qi deviation, that would be even worse.


    As long as he saw from the outside that Li Qinghai was still absorbing spiritual energy, the problem shouldn''t be too big.


    This continued for another stick of incense.


    At this moment, the Dao Platform finally stopped spinning.


    In the instant it stopped, a vast aura burst forth from the Dao Platform, spreading outwards.


    This aura not only contained terrifying power but also immense vitality.


    This surge of vitality quickly replenished Li Qinghai''s physical body, causing his emaciated frame to fill out.


    Meanwhile, the terrifying power swept outwards, shattering the tables and chairs inside the wooden hut.


    The spiritual energy gathered around the wooden hut was forcibly pushed back.


    Outside, Jian Jiu witnessed this scene, both shocked and delighted, murmuring softly.


    "The Foundation Establishment succeeded! But the pressure from this Foundation Establishment is almost on par with a Core Formation breakthrough?!"
