And with the entry into the Foundation Establishment Stage,
Raine's Physical Body, True Qi, Divine Soul, etc., all simultaneously entered a state of extreme sublimation.
It was similar to Gwen's mutated evolution, but more controllable, more orderly, and more perfect.
This was not just a mutation and evolution of the Physique, but an extreme sublimation and transformation of the three treasures: Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
For a moment,
the Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace hummed incessantly, and the Pure Yang Golden Bell and the taiyin jade ring even developed a breathing-like sentience.
Raine's decision to use Gwen's Pure Yin Qi of Creation for Foundation Establishment was correct.
A hint of the profound mystery of creation not only brought Raine great benefits, but also gave sentience to the three Magical Artifacts: the Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace, the Pure Yang Golden Bell, and the taiyin jade ring.
After sufficient Spiritual Qi nourishment,
these three treasures would directly transcend their current stage, automatically upgrading to Spirit Treasures.
Chapter 18: Raine: Baby, is that your dad downstairs?
In the Luofu World, protective Magic Treasures also have very distinct levels.
From the initial Magical Artifacts, to Magic Treasures, then to Acquired Spirit Treasures, and finally to Innate Spirit Treasures.
The lowest level Magical Artifacts are not worth mentioning.
Starting from Magic Treasures, these protective treasures possess various extremely powerful functions.
At the same time, Magic Treasures are the main protective items for most Cultivators in the Luofu World.
If a Magic Treasure can gain a hint of sentience under certain circumstances, it can upgrade to an Acquired Spirit Treasure, just like artificial intelligence. It can constantly grow by autonomously devouring Materials and deducing Restrictions.
Initially, Raine never thought he would be able to possess Spirit Treasures.
The Pure Yang Golden Bell, taiyin jade ring, Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace, etc.
Raine only intended to refine these items into Magic Treasures, and then refine them further with the Grand Evolution Myriad Treasures Artifact Refining Art of the Spirit Treasure Sect in the Luofu World.
When Magic Treasures are refined to their extreme, their power is also not to be underestimated.
However, a hint of the profound mystery of creation, while helping Raine with Foundation Establishment, also bestowed a hint of sentience upon the Pure Yang Golden Bell, taiyin jade ring, and Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace.
This filled Raine with unparalleled joy.
Magic Treasures, no matter how they are refined, have their limits.
But Spirit Treasures, whether Innate or Acquired, have unparalleled growth potential, almost without limits.
It is rumored that if an Innate Supreme Treasure fully revives, it can rival a Primordial Grand Cultivator.
There were even legendary mighty figures who refined a Heaven-Supporting Pillar into an Acquired Supreme Treasure, capable of breaking the body of a Primordial Ancestral Witch.
In this U.S. comic World,
a Pure Yang True Immortal can already be equated with top-tier Multiverse-level powerhouses.
Further up, after three Realms—Immortal Golden Immortal, Grand Profound Immortal, and Eternal Grand Luo—is the Primordial level.
Although Raine knew that it would be very difficult for him to refine the Pure Yang Golden Bell, taiyin jade ring, and Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace to the level of such Supreme Treasures, at least there was a slight possibility.
This was already enough to bring infinite joy.
After briefly imagining a beautiful future,
Raine, having achieved Foundation Establishment, quickly reached out and continued to retrieve the Pure Yang Golden Bell into his Sea of Consciousness for continuous nourishment, while once again binding the taiyin jade ring to his finger, constantly moisturizing it with True Qi.
"The Dao path is boundless, the future is bright, my Dao is hopeful of success!"
Walking out of the Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace,
Raine's figure flashed, and he already appeared at the exit of the underground palace. His entire demeanor seemed to have undergone an Earth-shattering change.
The Foundation Establishment Stage means stepping onto the Dao path, initially possessing a sense of transcendence.
Including drawing talismans in the air, commanding ghosts and gods, transforming into an escape light, Five Elements shuttling, and so on, all can be done with ease.
However, Raine was also clear.
In this extremely dangerous U.S. comic World, although he now had the power to protect himself, he could not yet do whatever he wanted.
At this time, Raine could disregard most superheroes and villains.
But in this World, there are also deeply hidden Ancient One, Odin, God, etc., including Dimensional Gods like Mephisto, Dormammu, and Chthon, all keeping an eye on Earth.
With an unhindered Dao Heart, it was still necessary to maintain a low profile.
Moreover, Raine himself was not a particularly flamboyant person.
Whether it was superheroes or supervillains, Raine had no interest in getting involved.
He would rather focus on Cultivation or Dual Cultivation with Gwen.
In a short journey of less than ten minutes,
Raine had already adjusted his Cultivation after his Breakthrough. By the time he arrived at the top-floor President suite, Gwen had just woken up from a deep sleep.
"Darling, are you trying to sneak away while I'm still asleep?"
After Dual Cultivation with Raine, Gwen, after transforming into Ghost Spider, did not experience the inability to control her own power.
On the contrary, with the deep effects of the Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path,
Gwen's entire transformation was as natural as water flowing into a channel.
At this moment, Gwen was buried in the silk duvet, revealing very obvious graceful curves.
The natural charm, a blend of maiden and young woman, made hearts flutter.
Fortunately, Raine's Dao Heart was firm. He raised the fragrant breakfast in his hand and said, "Baby, this is the breakfast I ran half of New York early this morning to buy specifically for you."
"Don't you feel guilty thinking that about me? This is truly heartbreaking."
Seeing Raine's dramatic act,
Gwen also laughed, then directly put on one of Raine's White shirts, swaying her long legs, and came to Raine, giving him a sweet good morning kiss.
"Alright, darling, I was wrong to misunderstand you."
"Or, why don't you check if my conscience hurts a lot?"
Gwen, like a little gluttonous cat, opened the breakfast, then gave Raine a charming look.
Raine felt a little restless.
Checking conscience or something, it didn't seem impossible, after all, it was still early.
But just as Raine was about to make a move,
Gwen's pink phone on the bedside table rang at a very inconvenient time.
Almost instinctively, Gwen flicked her straight long leg on the bedsheet, and with a powerful tremor, the phone bounced up and accurately landed in Gwen's hand.
After doing all this, Gwen herself was stunned.
"Darling, did you just see that? It's amazing, God, I swear that was instinct just now…"
"Baby, I saw it, but I think your focus should be on the phone right now, because I don't want your dad to come rushing up with a Remington later."
The caller ID on the phone was George Stacy.
And through the gradient floor-to-ceiling window, one could clearly see George, with a dark face, standing on the street opposite downstairs, holding his phone and looking towards the hotel.
Beside him was a daunting Remington shotgun.
In the President suite, receiving Raine's signal,
Gwen looked at George downstairs with a stiff expression, then, with a look of despair, answered the phone.
"Hi ~ daddy."
"Yes, I'm upstairs…"
"Daddy! You're invading my privacy, I'm already 18."
"Alright, no need, Raine and I will be down immediately. It would be very embarrassing if you came up."
"I promise, I'll be there within half an hour."
"Thank you, daddy!"

Chapter 19: Dealing with Father-in-Law George
Staying in a hotel room with someone's daughter, only to be caught downstairs, was indeed a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Raine's Dao Heart was like iron, and he held it together.
The police car sped along, and twenty minutes later, it brazenly and dominantly stopped directly opposite Osborn Tower on the street.
Only then did the low pressure inside the car finally ease a bit.
