Chapter 257 - Cultivator Establishes Dual Foundations

Li Fan wasn't particularly concerned about the possibility of Ye Feipeng having the bloodline inheritance of a exotic beast because it fell under the category of constitution.

He couldn't derive any inspiration from it.

However, Li Fan was intrigued by the appearance of dual Dao foundations in Ye Feipeng's dantian.

He could be considered half a true Foundation Building master, but he had never heard of a cultivator being able to establish a second foundation using heavenly and earthly peculiar objects after building their initial foundation.

How did Ye Feipeng achieve this?

Was it related to his special bloodline?

From the perspective of heaven and earth, Li Fan carefully observed the peacefully sleeping Ye Feipeng.

The Dao foundations of Cyan Wind and Canghai peacefully coexisted and even complemented each other within Little Fatty's body.

It was incredibly harmonious, as if it was naturally meant to be.

After watching for a long time, Li Fan couldn't discern the principles behind it.

Out of habit, he searched in the Tianxuan Mirror.

As expected, there was no relevant information.

However, this abnormal and seemingly conspicuous result made Li Fan believe even more that there might indeed be a method in the cultivation world to establish dual Dao foundations.

It was probably highly classified; otherwise, there wouldn't be any discussions or mentions of it at all.

"Dual Dao foundations..."

"Could there be multiple Dao foundations?"

Li Fan's interest was not because he had plans to use other peculiar objects to build foundations again.

[Still True] could transform into any peculiar object in the world.

If a certain heavenly and earthly peculiar object was exceptionally rare and he wanted to use it, Li Fan could directly absorb it and then use [Still True] to transform.

There was no need for such extra steps.

What Li Fan truly desired was a method for two or even multiple Dao foundations to coexist in his body.

Currently, when [Still True] changed into a peculiar object, it could only exhibit one state at a time.

The Canghai Pearl was just the Canghai Pearl.

The Seven Apertures Delicate Heart was just the Seven Apertures Delicate Heart.

They could only change one after another and couldn't coexist simultaneously.

If [Still True] could change into two or even more foundations simultaneously...

Apart from other potential uses, at the very least, there would be a significant leap in combat power.

Unable to find any results, it was time to leverage social connections.

Li Fan sent a message to his group of friends, inquiring about the matter of dual Dao foundations.

He thought it would take a long time to get an answer, but surprisingly, he received a reply soon.

It was precisely the Oracle Zi, whom he had met through Ling Xiao's legacy.

"Young friend inquires about the matter of dual Dao foundations. Could it be that you have found some high-level peculiar objects and wish to establish another foundation?"

Seeing that the Oracle Zi obviously knew something, Li Fan's spirits lifted, and he immediately replied, "Senior misunderstood. It's just that I encountered a cultivator who unexpectedly has dual Dao foundations in his body. Out of curiosity, I asked about it."

The Oracle Zi remained silent for a moment before saying, "So that's it. I owe young friend a favor from before. Revealing the secret of dual Dao foundations is not a big deal. However, young friend must keep it to yourself to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Li Fan promptly replied, "I understand, senior."

The Oracle Zi continued, "How much does young friend know about heavenly and earthly peculiar objects?"

"Only a bit. They are divided into human peculiar objects, earthly peculiar objects, and heavenly peculiar objects. Human peculiar objects seem to be formed by the transformation of fallen cultivators from thousands of years ago..." Li Fan briefly explained some basic knowledge.

"That's correct. Cultivators use heavenly and earthly peculiar objects to establish Dao foundations. Subsequently, whether it's condensing the Golden Core, achieving the Nascent Soul, or even transforming into a Nascent Deity, all are closely related to their personal Dao foundation."

"But the quality of peculiar objects varies. If a cultivator is impoverished and struggling during the Foundation Building period, they might be forced to choose a mediocre or even inferior human peculiar object to establish their foundation."

"Later, through a fortuitous turn of events and favorable circumstances, I cultivated all the way to the Nascent Divinity realm."

"This low-quality foundation-building peculiar object is now incompatible with my powerful cultivation."

"It has become a 'flaw' in my cultivation. What should I do at this point?"

"Should I break my foundation and rebuild it? Although I have the Supreme Primal Scriptures, which can preserve most of my cultivation, the higher the realm, the more time is required for re-cultivation. Not to mention, breaking the foundation recklessly could pose a life-threatening risk."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan pondered, "So, this method of establishing another foundation is used by high-level cultivators to eliminate the flaws in their own foundations?"

The Oracle Zi nodded, "This method is called [Reestablish Dao]. After establishing another foundation, not only is one's cultivation and magical power unaffected, but one can also slowly use the new foundation to devour and replace the original foundation. This way, a transformation is quietly completed, completely remedying past flaws."

With this explanation from the Oracle Zi, Li Fan completely understood.

To draw an inappropriate analogy, the original foundation is like a wife from poverty-stricken times, accompanying the cultivator through the initial stages of Foundation Building and Golden Core.

However, as the cultivator prospers and advances to the stages of Nascent Soul and Nascent Divinity, they start to feel that their humble wife is not worthy of them anymore.

Thus, they consider changing their wife.

But the wife has walked alongside them through hardships.

Suddenly divorcing her not only causes personal distress but also invites criticism from others.

One can only plan carefully, first taking a concubine.

Then, when the opportunity arises, elevate the concubine to a legitimate wife.

What Li Fan wanted was a method for the wife and the concubine to coexist peacefully.

So, he asked the Oracle Zi about it.

Since the Oracle Zi intended to help, he didn't hold back.

He immediately transmitted the method of [Reestablish Dao] to Li Fan.

Li Fan was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

While eagerly reading the profound contents of the technique, the Oracle Zi suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, this method of [Reestablish Dao] was created by a cultivator named Chenshi Mei in our Heavenly Luck Province."

"This person is truly ruthless, using any means necessary for further cultivation. Just because the foundation-building peculiar object of another cultivator might be more suitable for himself, he forcibly assimilated his Dao companion, who had accompanied him for hundreds of years."

Hearing this, Li Fan was startled.

He had almost forgotten that anything in this world could be transformed into a Dao foundation.

The slightly mocking voice of the Oracle Zi came again, "Unfortunately, he had bad luck. The information leaked, and he angered a powerful female cultivator."

"Not only was he stripped of his skin and flesh, but even his consciousness was pulled out and transferred to a black dog."

"Every day, he is subjected to bullying by other beasts, truly more miserable than death."

"Hehe, if young friend comes to our Heavenly Luck Province, perhaps you might witness..."

"To please this powerful female cultivator, many cultivators bring ferocious beasts, lining up to torment Chenshi Mei."

Just thinking about it gave Li Fan a shiver.

When a woman becomes cruel, she is no weaker than a man.

"Although Chenshi Mei is a bit despicable, the technique itself is quite good."

"But according to senior's implication, will this technique attract trouble?"

"Why is that?"
