At this moment, Zhou Yun had entered the Enlightenment State. He no longer paid attention to anything in the outside world. Instead, he paid full attention to Divine Sense. He observed his meridians and the circulation of Qi through Divine Sense.
“It’s here. The Qi circulation of the array is forcing its way into my skin. It’s trying to open up my meridians and circulate the Qi.”
The meridian diagram of his entire body appeared in Zhou Yun’s mind at this moment. Under the circulation of the Spiritual Qi Mantra, more than half of his meridians had been opened up. His Qi circulation was circulating continuously, providing him with the release of his spiritual energy.
At this moment, Zhou Yun could see that other than the meridians that had been opened up, the spiritual energy that had seeped in from the array was continuously helping him open up new meridians. It was going to help him widen up his meridians and increase the number of meridians!
However, the spiritual energy of the array was extremely violent, chaotic, and rigid. It would only circulate according to the pre-set meridian route of the array.
It completely ignored if the meridian route set up by the array was in line with the circulation of Zhou Yun’s meridians!
Hence, Zhou Yun could see his meridians being forcefully opened and forced through. It was followed by endless pain and bleeding from his meridians!
“No, this shouldn’t be the most suitable way to expand my meridians.”
In the Enlightenment States, Zhou Yun immediately figured out the mistake of the array and immediately found out how to mobilize the array’s Qi circulation to help him with the perfect foundation establishment!
“Here, it should be circulating toward this meridian. On this side, the force had to be even gentler.”
Based on his thoughts, Zhou Yun used his spiritual energy to guide the spiritual energy from the array to help him open up new meridians.
As expected, Zhou Yun no longer felt any pressure. Even if the spiritual energy from the array kept pouring in, it was only helping him open up his meridians continuously and circulate his spiritual energy.
Not only did Zhou Yun not feel any pain, but he even took a fancy to the process of the foundation establishment!
As his meridians were continuously opened up, Zhou Yun felt a sense of comfort in his entire body!
Every time he guided the spiritual energy to open up a new meridian, at the same time he was feeling comfortable, he could also feel the increase in his spiritual energy reserve. Furthermore, the spiritual energy was circulating even faster!
The previous seven times of foundation establishment had been torturing, but now it was a complete enjoyment!
It was the easiest for one to get addicted to the process of getting stronger step by step!
Zhou Yun now had full control over the entire foundation establishment process. It was as if the entire array was under his control. He had become the main conductor of the foundation establishment process!
The Grand Elder was dumbfounded. Ever since he became the Grand Elder, he had helped dozens of genius disciples achieve perfect foundation establishment. However, he had never seen or even heard of a disciple taking charge of the foundation establishment array himself!
The Grand Elder put down the seal in his hand. He stood helplessly at the side and helped the elders to transfer their spirit energy.
As Zhou Yun could control the entire array now, the Grad Elder could only stand aside and wait for the foundation establishment to complete.
However, the Grand Elder was not disappointed. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yun with a look of relief. His impression of Zhou Yun had originally been he was a genius in alchemy.
Even when Zhou Yun broke through to the tenth layer of Qi cultivation, he only changed his impression of him a little. But now, the Grand Elder had completely acknowledged Zhou Yun’s talent. He was a genius who excelled in both alchemy and martial arts!
However, just as the Grand Elder relaxed and waited for Zhou Yun to achieve his perfect foundation establishment, Zhou Yun’s aura changed!
While Zhou Yun was continuously expanding his meridians, the Spiritual Qi Mantra manual suddenly appeared in his mind!
Although the Spiritual Qi Mantra manual was only a basic cultivation technique, Zhou Yun realized that it was not as simple as it seemed.
Zhou Yun had already perfected the circulation of the Spiritual Qi Mantra when he was enlightened for the first time.
He had originally thought that he could wait until he reached the foundation establishment stage before changing his cultivation technique.
However, at this moment, several methods to perfect the Spiritual Qi Mantra to a higher level cultivation technique flashed through Zhou Yun’s mind!
“Furthermore, taking the opportunity to progress simultaneously with the foundation establishment, I can even perfectly match my meridian route with the Spiritual Qi Mantra!” Zhou Yun felt it was an opportunity!
The things that one could think of during the enlightenment were things that others could never think of in their entire lives. Thus Zhou Yun believed in his thoughts and began to improve the Spiritual Qi Mantra according to the thoughts in his mind!
At the same time, the meridians in Zhou Yun’s body were also continuously integrating with the Spiritual Qi Mantra!
“Is the array’s spiritual energy running out?” Zhou Yun frowned. He felt the speed of opening up new meridians had slowed down.
“Let’s absorb more then!” Zhou Yun increased his suction force.
The entire array was now under Zhou Yun’s control. He urged the array to absorb the spiritual energy of the elders even more strongly to help him reach the foundation establishment stage!
“What’s going on? Why is the suction force of the array suddenly becoming stronger? I’m about to be sucked dry!” One of the elders was shocked and shouted in panic!
“Has Zhou Yun gone into deviation? Ordinary foundation establishment cultivators wouldn’t consume so much spiritual energy! Not to mention our number of people was twice as many for other foundation establishment cultivators!” The chubby elder, who was originally jolly, now had a bitter expression on his face. He didn’t expect this easy task to suddenly become so troublesome!
“Grand Elder, shouldn’t we stop the array? If this continues, not only will Zhou Yun’s foundation establishment fail, but we will also be injured!” An elder’s face turned pale! Too much of his spiritual energy had been sucked by the array!
The elders were in chaos. This was the first time they had encountered such a thing!
The Grand Elder was also at a loss now. He did not know what was going on either.
The array of foundation establishment could purify the spiritual energy of the elders and transfer it into Zhou Yun’s body. For the elders’ 1000 points of spiritual energy, Zhou Yun could only receive 1 point of purified spiritual energy that could be directly absorbed.
Although the consumption is high, there were eight elders! Not to mention sucking them dry, just the spiritual energy of the elder’s finger would be enough to stuff Zhou Yun to death!
The Grand Elder could not understand why Zhou Yun’s foundation establishment suddenly consumed so much spirit energy!
“Grand Elder! I can’t hold on soon!” The jolly chubby elder’s face did not have the slightest smile this time. In fact, too much of his spiritual energy had been sucked, and he actually looked losing a bit of his weight now!
“Wait a moment!” The Grand Elder tried to calm the other elders down. He couldn’t say that the entire array was out of his control now!
The Grand Elder stared at Zhou Yun who was in the middle of the array. Seeing Zhou Yun’s ruddy complexion and he did not look like he had been possessed by the devil, the Grand Elder gritted his teeth and looked determined.
“I’ll just take it that you little brat owes me a favor. If you don’t refine 80-100 cauldrons of medicinal pills for me, it’s really a good deal for you!”
The Grand Elder looked at the other elders and gritted his teeth, ” “Continue to increase the input of spiritual energy.”
“You want us to die? No way!” said the elders.
“I’ll pay extra!” said the Grand Elder.
“Fine!” The elders agreed.
Just as the Grand Elder mentioned an amount, the elders’ expressions turned stern and their auras rose. Did they still look weak?
Immediately after, a spirit energy dragon that was even more sturdy than before rushed into the foundation establishment array!
