Chapter 289: Obtaining a Foundation Establishment Technique



Chapter 289: Obtaining a Foundation Establishment Technique

What frightened Su Changyu even more was that the faces of the corpses on the ground were exactly the same as that white-haired cultivator from before!

It was as if all these corpses were his own!

Despite considering himself more firm-minded than ordinary people, Su Changyu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at this eerie scene.

"Hee hee, don't be so nervous. They're just dead bodies, what is there to fear?"

"You should know, the living are much more terrifying than the dead."

The white-haired cultivator said sinisterly.

With a slight gesture, a set of tables and chairs rose from the ground.

"Sit down and enjoy the show."

"It's been many years since anyone has been here."

After the initial horror due to the strange double voice and the horrifying scenes around him, Su Changyu gradually adapted.

Calming his mind, he sat down steadily.

"I wonder how should I address you, senior?"

After sitting down and seeing the white-haired cultivator just staring blankly at his surroundings, Su Changyu couldn't help but ask.

"I am called Master Yin."

"Hehe, people call me Master Yin."

Master Yin chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Nice to meet you, Master Yin. I am Su Changyu."

Su Changyu introduced himself calmly.

At this moment, Master Yin suddenly turned around and carefully examined Su Changyu.

After a long time, he looked away.

"Huh, it seems there's fate at work..."

Master Yin muttered under his breath.

Su Changyu listened but didn't understand.

After a while, Master Yin spoke again, "You encountered a bottleneck in cultivation and were guided here by the intuition in your heart, right?"

"A bottleneck?" Su Changyu was surprised. He had only just reached the late Qi Condensation stage.

Just as he was about to deny it, Master Yin continued, "Haha, I'm used to it. Every few years, a cultivator is guided here."

"Every time someone comes, I have to repeat the same thing. I'm tired of it."

"When immortals fight, mortals suffer. It's so annoying..."

Su Changyu frowned slightly. Master Yin seemed a bit crazy, and what he said was hard to understand.

"Anyway, I'll repeat it once more."

Master Yin sat down as well and said, "The so-called foundation establishment forms the foundation of cultivation. Do you know what this foundation is?"

...

"I used myself as a Heavenly Treasure to establish my foundation!"

His body split in two, revealing another face within his internal organs.

Two faces, inside and outside, spoke in unison.

The explanation ended with two eerie smiles

Su Changyu was first shocked by the horrifying scene before him, but then, watching Master Yin return to normal, he slowly sat back down.

"Establish my foundation with myself..." Su Changyu's eyes showed a strange expression.

"So? Are you interested?" Master Yin asked with a smile.

"Your foundation perfectly overlaps with yourself, and all spells and techniques are returned to oneself."

"From now on, no matter what techniques or secrets, you will master them instantly."

"Defeating peerless geniuses, stepping on hidden grandmasters..."

"Why not take action now?"

Master Yin looked at Su Changyu with a somewhat crazy look, full of temptation.

Su Changyu, however, kept his composure and remained calm. "Then, dare I ask senior, what is the price?"

"If everyone could easily 'establish their foundation with themselves', wouldn't geniuses be everywhere?"

"If everyone is a genius, then there's no distinction between mediocrity and genius."

Master Yin chuckled foolishly and pointed to the hundreds of corpses on the ground. "These are the price!"

Su Changyu didn't understand, so he remained silent.

"After dissecting hundreds of 'myself' and gaining enough confidence."

"Only then did I begin to 'establish the foundation with myself.'"

"Even so, I'm still a hair short of perfect success."

"Ordinary cultivators who attempt to 'establish their foundation with themselves' are just courting death."

Master Yin explained with a cold smile.

"The human body is so exquisite and complex."

"How could ordinary people fully understand themselves and establish their foundation with themselves?"

"Being able to achieve this without relying on external forces requires rare talent."

Upon hearing this, Su Changyu suddenly understood.

He couldn't help feeling a bit disheartened.

As the saying goes, one who knows others is wise, but the one who knows oneself is enlightened.

Su Changyu was very clear about his own cultivation talent.

He definitely couldn't be called a genius.

Not even close to average.

Even using "mediocre" to describe him wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Wanting to 'establish the foundation with himself' was even more impossible.

Master Yin noticed Su Changyu's change in expression and chuckled, "Child, don't be disheartened."

"At this moment, you've come before me, indicating that everything is predestined."

With that, he extended his index finger and lightly tapped Su Changyu's forehead.

In an instant, countless images and knowledge crazily flooded into Su Changyu's mind.

These were all the scenes and insights Master Yin gained from dissecting hundreds of Foundation Establishment corpses.

And even more precious, the process of 'establishing the foundation with oneself' and the experience of partial success.

...

Suddenly receiving such a huge amount of information, Su Changyu felt overwhelmed for a moment.

His temples throbbed incessantly, and it felt like his head was about to split open.

But he knew in his heart that this opportunity was probably the only chance to change his fate in this lifetime, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

After a while, he slumped exhaustedly in the chair, drenched in sweat.

Master Yin shook his head repeatedly as he watched.

After a while, Su Changyu regained his spirits and respectfully bowed to Master Yin.

"Thank you, senior!"

"Hehe, no need to thank me."

Master Yin showed an impish smile. "Originally, you had no intention of 'establishing the foundation with yourself'."

"But now that I've passed on my experiences to you, you seem to have the intention to give it a try."

"Keep in mind that everyone is unique, and my situation may not necessarily apply to you."

"Maybe you'll fail because of this, and end up dead."

"In that case, I'd be the one to blame!"

Su Changyu's expression was solemn. "Life and death are fated, but wealth and honor are in the hands of myself."

The smile disappeared from Master Yin's face. "That's a good attitude."

Without hesitation, he said bluntly, "Our business here is done, you may leave!"

Being unexpectedly dismissed, Su Changyu was slightly stunned.

But since Master Yin had said so, he didn't insist on staying.

After bowing again, he prepared to leave.

Before leaving, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Su Changyu couldn't help but ask, "Master Yin, may I ask where these corpses came from?"

Master Yin glanced around, his eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.

"Yeah, where did these corpses come from?"

"Ah! I remember now!"

"There was a heavy rain! Countless corpses fell from the sky like rain, and I took the opportunity to scavenge some..."

Master Yin seemed a bit crazy as he muttered.

Upon hearing the answer, Su Changyu felt another chill in his heart.

Not daring to stay any longer on this eerie island, he hurriedly left.

Watching Su Changyu's departing figure, Master Yin slowly returned to normal.

He touched his chest, where there seemed to be a precious treasure hidden that he was reluctant to give up.

...

After a long time, the extinguished flames reignited once again, completely engulfing Yin Yin Island.
