“Oh?”

Han Yi’s eyebrows furrowed.

Just as the disciples in the Ascending Immortal Pavilion were serving spirit wine and meat, He Fengdi paused, waiting for them to leave and closing the door before he continued explaining.

“There is less than two years left until the agreed-upon twenty-year deadline.”

“While everyone inside and outside the peaks believes that the conflict will officially begin in two years, in reality, it started six years ago.”

“Six years ago?” Han Yi’s eyebrows furrowed again and suddenly thought of something. He asked:

“I remember that six years ago, a major event happened in the sect. Senior Brother You Wu, who was promoted to elder, was killed by a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator from the Blood God Sect that year. Could it be…”

He Fengdi nodded, a flash of anger appearing on his face. That year, You Wu was killed, and the disciples of Xuandan Sect were filled with righteous indignation. However, anger couldn’t solve the problem. When everyone calmed down, they learned more from You Wu’s death.

Back then, Han Yi happened to run into He Fengdi after You Wu’s death, and the two drank together at Yi Xian Building.

“Yes, You Wu’s death was the trigger.”

“Over these years, the flames of war have spread from Taibai County to Nanyang County and Luofeng Country.”

“And this war is limited to Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and above. Qi Cultivation Stage disciples are not aware of it.”

“Han junior brother, do you think the sect started the Escort Plan and the Elder Advisor Plan for no reason? That’s because the sect urgently needs high-end cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage and above!”

With that, He Fengdi raised his cup, drank it all down, and a torrent of murderous intent appeared in his eyes for an instant.

Although Han Yi wasn’t affected, he was somewhat surprised. It seemed that in these years, after He Fengdi stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage, his strength must have advanced by leaps and bounds.

“So that’s the reason behind the Escort Plan and the Elder Advisor Plan.” Han Yi suddenly understood.

He Fengdi nodded: “I only learned about these after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“Oh, right, Han junior brother, the sect has not announced this information to disciples below the Foundation Establishment Stage for the time being, so please don’t tell anyone else.”

Han Yi naturally understood and nodded in agreement.

“However, with your ability to slay demon cultivators, Han junior brother, 1 think it’s fine for you to know this.”

He Fengdi spoke seriously.

“Moreover, after killing the demon cultivator, Han junior brother must have made further progress in your cultivation. You must have reached an even higher level in your strength.”

“If I were the sect master, I would definitely drag you to the battlefield to give a big surprise to those bastards of Xuandan Sect.”

Han Yi’s heart skipped a beat as He Fengdi mentioned the sect master, which was the person Han Yi least wanted to see. Every time they met, there was always something to be done. If it weren’t for Han Yi’s strong luck, his grave would probably be covered in tall grass by now.

“No, please don’t.”

“I just want to quietly cultivate and become an immortal. Besides, the sect master has already promised me that he won’t make me do anything before the twenty-year deadline arrives.”

“Oh? It seems that junior brother Han is highly esteemed by Master Yuan.” He Fengdi was somewhat surprised, but thinking about it again, it was natural for someone with Han Yi’s heaven-defying talent to be treated more favorably.

“However, Han junior brother, let me remind you that you still need to make preparations in advance. You never know when the conflict might flare up again, and even if you want to cultivate peacefully, any problems in the sect will affect every disciple.”

“Fundamentally, we are all in the same boat. If the boat collapses, we can only swim naked.”

He Fengdi hinted, leaving Han Yi deep in thought.

A moment later, after drinking all the spirit wine and eating all the spiritual dishes, the two agreed to meet more often when they had the chance, and then they each went their separate ways.

This time, Han Yi did not return directly to his courtyard but went to the Scripture Collection Pavilion at Azure Dragon Peak.

In the pavilion, Han Yi found a book that caught his eye.

“Basic Knowledge of Immortal Foundation Establishment.”

That’s right, he was already at the peak of Qi Cultivation, and perhaps at some point, he would have an epiphany and be able to establish his foundation. He needed to learn more about this in advance.

Before this, Han Yi had only heard about the legend of the First-Class Immortal Foundation. He didn’t know much about foundation building, and this time, he wanted to gain a comprehensive understanding of foundation-building knowledge.

He took out the book, which was old and obviously had been around for quite some time.

He found a place to sit down and began to read.

The first sentence that caught his eye was: “The long road of Immortal Path begins with foundation establishment!”

Upon seeing this, Han Yi’s expression became serious, and he continued to read as if he were on a pilgrimage.

From the second page onwards, the book introduced various aspects of foundation establishment, including how to establish a foundation, the problems faced during foundation establishment, and the classification of immortal foundations.

It took Han Yi a full quarter of an hour to finish reading the book. The reason it took so long was that he read, thought, and summarized at the same time.

After closing the book, Han Yi slowly let out a breath, feeling a deeper understanding of foundation establishment in his heart.

Now,

He returned the book and found a few more books on foundation establishment to fill in any gaps in his knowledge. He also found the notes on some sudden situations encountered during foundation establishment by Foundation Establishment Elders in the sect and how to deal with these sudden situations.

It took a full two hours before Han Yi left the Scripture Collection Pavilion, having already mastered the theoretical knowledge of foundation establishment in his heart.

The most crucial part of foundation establishment could be described with six words: crossing three barriers and surviving five calamities.

The three barriers were the physical body, mana, and divine soul.

Generally speaking, after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, there would be no problem with the physical body barrier.

As for mana and divine soul, they were related to the dantian.

Humans have dantians, which are divided into upper, middle, and lower parts.

The Upper Dantian is located at the Yintang acupoint between the eyebrows and is where the divine soul resides, also known as the Sea of Consciousness..
