Chapter 171: 98~99: Great power within a ten-foot room, imposing atmosphere within the Longevity Sect (two in one for monthly ticket addition)_2 Chapter 171: 98~99: Great power within a ten-foot room, imposing atmosphere within the Longevity Sect (two in one for monthly ticket addition)_2 “It seems we’ll have another Brother Chen in the future,” a Foundation Establishment cultivator sighed.
“Yes, another junior brother indeed.
I’ll have to tighten the screws on Master Wu Yongwang and his Wu Family.
This Gao Hu…
I never expected…
so fast…
His background will likely be scrutinised again by the Sect.”
Li Yue showed no expression, his mind spinning with thoughts.
...
…
Before Foundation Establishment, no one noticed him.
After Foundation Establishment, shock reigned everywhere.
Inside the house, Chen Dengming was completely oblivious to the situation outside.
This was only his fifth attempt to break through, and he wasn’t even sure that he would succeed.
He had even prepared himself for failure.
Yet, he managed to break through in one fell swoop.
Life really was unpredictable.
At this moment, the fluctuating spiritual energy around him began to wane.
Chen Dengming’s spiritual might began to converge, and the three spiritual lights shining from his head, chest, and abdomen also disappeared.
In his dantian, the formerly mist-like strands of spiritual energy had condensed into a liquid state, much like golden water.
This was the Spiritual Element, the notable difference between Qi Cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In the Cultivation World, why it was so difficult to defeat an enemy of a higher boundary was due to the qualitative change in power after crossing a Great Boundary.
It could be argued that experienced Innate Warriors, catching their opponents off guard, had a chance to kill low-level Qi Cultivators.
However, for a tenth level Qi Cultivator to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the difficulty increased tenfold.
Not that there was no chance, just that the chance was extremely slim.
…
Half an hour later.
The vitality within the room gradually subsided, and Chen Dengming continued to sit in the quiet room, going nowhere, still acutely feeling the subtle changes within his body and mind.
Especially the Spiritual Element surging in his dantian, which excited him.
People say that after the excitement, there comes a calming period, soon followed by discontent.
However, following his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, he felt that his excitement lasted for quite some time.
It seemed as though his adrenal glands were constantly active, keeping him awake and alert, not feeling fatigue.
“This is not excitement, but more the normal physiological response after becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Yes, I should be calm…
oh no, I don’t need to be calm, nor do I need to be excited, I should just go with the flow…”
“The detailed guide to Foundation Establishment said that after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, one is ‘full of energy and not hungry, full of spirit and not sleepy.’
‘When the spirit is full and energy is plentiful, one can eat less and sleep less, and maintain a long-term fast.’
‘Hmm…
this is quite like my current state.
I’m not tired even though I don’t sleep, and I’m not hungry even though I don’t eat.
The author didn’t lie to me.’
Chen Dengming stood in front of a mirror, inspecting his hair and teeth.
The guide to Foundation Establishment stated that after Foundation Establishment, ‘white hair turns black, lost teeth grow back.’
But currently, his hair wasn’t white and his teeth were fine.
There weren’t any noticeable changes…

Wait, were his teeth a bit whiter?
They seemed dazzlingly charming.
A thought suddenly hit him, and he immediately checked his private area.
He found it to be in excellent condition, as majestic as a lion on the plains of the Brocade Mill, robust, valiant, and dominating.
This wasn’t self-praise, it was a compliment once given by Xu Wei.
The horrifying terms mentioned in the detailed guide to Foundation Establishment, such as ‘horse hidden yin phase’, which referred to the retracting of male genitalia and other shocking conditions, seemed to not exist.
Or rather, they hadn’t occurred to him, only to those people who were originally insecure and small.
Afterwards, Chen Dengming changed his clothes and meticulously checked his body.
He felt as if his body was constantly soaking in a hot spring, feeling very satisfied.
Spiritual energy from his surroundings continually entered his body, providing a constant energy supply.
This state was similar to how the Blood Killing Gas nourished his internal organs, only it was more intense, comprehensive, and gentle.
Apparently, after reaching Foundation Establishment, subtle changes had occurred in his bodily functions and his absorption of nature’s spiritual energy.
The benefits of reaching Foundation Establishment hadn’t fully manifested yet.
It was a slow and steady process and not an instant change.
The same was true for the transformation of spiritual energy into Spiritual Element.
It was a gradual process that flowed naturally.
He calmed his heart and spirit, and checked his status panel again.
He had already observed it once before.
After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, his maximum lifespan had only increased by sixty-five years.
There were still some unaccounted years of lifespan, which would probably gradually increase over time.
“Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator[Chen Dengming]
Lifespan: 84/238/504
Spiritual Root: Gold, Wood (Superior 0/100)
Martial Arts: ‘Chen Family Martial Arts Compendium’ (Great Perfection)
Daoism: ‘Gu Refining Chapter’ (Master 77/100), ‘Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill’ (Complete), ‘Chen’s Dao Method Chapter’ (Master 13/100) ‘Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’ (First Layer 78/100), ‘Water Shadow Wood Poison Gu Skill’ (Beginner 42/100), ‘Dragon Bone Training Skill’ (Beginner 79/100)”
As expected, the lifespan limit that had increased by 65 years earlier.
His lifespan limit was originally 502 years.
However, now, in the span of this short time, it had increased by two more years, reaching 504 years.
The benefits of reaching Foundation Establishment were still ongoing and had not yet ceased.
Even so, his lifespan limit had officially broken the 500-year mark.
After his remaining lifespan gradually and fully arrives, he will have at least 300 good years left.
Whispers about the possibility of forming his Golden Core wouldn’t be contradicted by anyone.
According to reasonable speculations in the Foundation Establishment guide, after breaking through from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, the lifespan limit should increase by at least a hundred years.
Ordinary Qi Cultivators, if they do not practice any lifespan-enhancing techniques or use special secret techniques to prolong their lives, usually have a lifespan ranging from eighty to a hundred and thirty years.
