Several months later.
Inside the secluded chamber.
At this moment, Ji Haoyuan had successfully condensed Liquid Magical Power.
Everything progressed more smoothly than he imagined.
It's as if his aging vitality and weakening meridians posed no obstacle to him at all.
This was truly incredible.
Even though he had anticipated his own success in advance.
Still, to successfully condense Liquid Magical Power so naturally seemed almost unbelievable to him.
If this news were to spread, wouldn't it cause a shock across the entire Cultivation Realm?
It's truly outrageous.
And utterly inexplicable by common sense.
To explain, it can only be said that the Cultivation Technique he perfected was almost perfectly suited to his current Foundation Establishment Technique.
To others, it would likely be just a relatively ordinary Foundation Establishment Technique.
To achieve what he did, ignoring various personal barriers, would be impossible.
Swish——Swish——Swish——
Ji Haoyuan's body emitted a sound reminiscent of rivers flowing.
The circulation of Liquid Magical Power within him grew increasingly smooth and vigorous.
The Spiritual Qi within the entire secluded chamber frantically converged toward Ji Haoyuan's location.
Gradually forming whirlpools of varying sizes, resembling funnels around him.
In doing so, Ji Haoyuan's greying hair visibly began to darken.
Even the wrinkled skin on his body started to become full and gain a slight sheen.
A surging and vibrant life force reappeared on him.
Making him look like a man in his forties.
It's not enough, still not enough!
Ji Haoyuan's gaze sharpened.
He needed more resources, more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, to fill his body, meridians, Dantian, Magical Power!
Boom!
At that moment, the numerous jade bottles in front of Ji Haoyuan exploded.
Pills that replenished Magical Power, vitality, Spiritual Qi, all poured into his mouth at once.
The numerous Spirit Stones he had previously placed around him also exploded, transforming into rich Spiritual Qi that fiercely surged into his body.
Even the Spirit Vein beneath his secluded chamber was rapidly being extracted for its Spiritual Qi.
Soon, the Spiritual Qi around Qianyang Mountain where the Ji Family resided surged uncontrollably.
Ji Bochang, lying on a chair in the rear mountain, suddenly opened his previously closed eyes.
His aged body instantly stood up.
His previously dim eyes now emitted sharp gleams.
He stared fixedly toward Ji Haoyuan's seclusion, the shock, astonishment, joy, and nervousness weaving a web of emotions within him, causing waves in his previously calm heart.
"Haoyuan, he..."
Woosh!
Without any warning, Ji Bochang's figure vanished.
At the same time.
Clan Leader Ji Yunfan, who was discreetly organizing clan members to evacuate, also noticed the unusual surge of Spiritual Qi at Ji Family's Qianyang Mountain.
Soon, his gaze too turned towards Ji Haoyuan's seclusion.
More shocked than Ji Bochang, he couldn't believe that his uncle, who was already a century old, could cause such a sensation during his Foundation Establishment.
Such phenomena indicate that success is near.
Ji Yunfan could no longer contain the excitement, tension, anxiety, and joy on his face.
Like Ji Bochang earlier, he quickly put aside his tasks, summoned his personal Magical Artifact, and flew toward Ji Haoyuan's seclusion.
Hope, this must be hope for the Ji Family!
Though he knew it wasn't time for joy yet, everything required calmness.
But the problem was that Ji Yunfan couldn't remain calm now.
The surprise was too sudden, stirring intense unease and fear within him.
Fear that all this might turn out to be false hope, fearing the despair after witnessing hope.
At the family's treasury.
Ji Haochuan, checking and tallying the family's resources, was suddenly shocked.
With disbelief, he looked toward Ji Haoyuan's seclusion, tears rolling down his aged cheeks.
At this moment, he felt comforted, happy, and relieved.
With no extra actions, Ji Haochuan placed down the list he was holding and proceeded toward Ji Haoyuan's seclusion.
At this point.
Most cultivators in the Ji Family gradually noticed the abnormality originating from Ji Haoyuan's seclusion.
The difference was that those below elders didn't fully understand what was happening or who was causing such a commotion.
Only figures like Ji Bochang, Ji Yunfan, Ji Haochuan who ranked above elders knew what was going on.
Unconsciously.
All Ji Family elders, including Ji Bochang, Ji Yunfan, Ji Haochuan, gathered above Ji Haoyuan's secluded chamber.
With great tacit understanding, they surrounded Ji Haoyuan's seclusion chamber, preventing anyone from approaching.
Thus, one day, two days, three days...
Three full days passed, and the phenomena outside Ji Haoyuan's secluded chamber did not cease.
This caused the guarding Ji Family elders to feel anxious and apprehensive.
They feared that the hope they just witnessed would dissipate.
Fearing that something might happen to Ji Haoyuan inside his seclusion chamber.
After all, he was already a hundred years old.
The act itself was highly risky.
If an accident occurred midway, it was highly possible.
"Elder, will uncle be alright?"
Finally.
An elder couldn't suppress his anxiety anymore, asking Ji Bochang from the group.
Hearing his words, everyone including Clan Leader Ji Yunfan and Ji Haochuan looked at Ji Bochang.
Despite Ji Bochang's own internal turmoil.
Outwardly, he maintained a touch of calm, looking at the speaking elder, contemplating before saying:
"No need to worry, I observe your uncle should have surpassed the most dangerous Physical Body Barrier and Magic Power Barrier.
Next, he only needs to condense Divine Sense, break through the final Divine Soul Barrier, and then, everything will be achieved.
Patience, just remain patient."
Upon hearing Ji Bochang's words, the hearts of those present slightly eased.
Thus.
Seven more days passed.
Suddenly.
Outside the secluded chamber, Spiritual Qi surged once more.
Then, a Spiritual Pressure distinctly different from Qi Refining Stage cultivators slowly emanated from Ji Haoyuan's secluded chamber.
