### Great Realm

Xiantian

**Foundation Forging** is the 8th realm of cultivation, 3rd in the Xiantian Great Realm.

This realm is also known as the **Ancestor Level**, because in the four regions outside the central plains, most of the Sect Leaders, Patriarchs and Ancestors are at the Foundation Forging Realm.

## Summary

Foundation Forging was a kind of comprehension realm. Advancing to Foundation Forging didn’t just rely on support and talent, but it also required high comprehension skills. For a Xiantian expert to reach Sea Expansion was comparatively easy. By piling on the resources, any somewhat talented person could reach Sea Expansion.

But for Foundation Forging, no matter how many resources you piled on, no matter how great their
innate talent, if their comprehension skills were lacking, they would never be able to reach Foundation Forging. It required a certain level of comprehension into the Heavenly Daos.

After meeting that requirement, to go from Sea Expansion to **Foundation Forging** you need using your Essence, Qi and Spirit to condense your original rune above your qi sea. That rune was the foundation of the cultivator.

Then you would continue condensing original runes on top of it, and once you condensed the ninth one, they would transform into one again. That would bring you to the first Heavenstage of Foundation Forging.

The second Heavenstage involved condensing eight such runes, the third Heavenstage required condensing seven, etc. They condensed higher and higher, creating a platform on the top of your expanded sea. This platform was sometimes called the immortal platform. It was also sometimes called the Dao platform. It was the foundation for your chance of ever becoming an immortal or god.

It could be said that only once you reached Foundation Forging were you a true cultivator. As for those so-called immortals and gods, they were just a legend. But it was true that once you reached Foundation Forging, your lifespan would extend a great deal.

Sea Expansion experts had a lifespan of around fifteen hundred years. But once you reached Foundation Forging and created your immortal platform, you would be able to absorb the exceedingly thin immortal qi in the air. Then your lifespan would increase to five thousand years, and your youthful looks would be restored.

Foundation Forging experts were able to control a certain amount of spatial power.

## Nine Star Hegemon Body Art Change

The change that Nine Star Hegemon Body Art brings is that Long Chen has 108,000 embryonic original runes, one for each acupuncture point, since he had used his 108,000 acupuncture points to replace his Dantian. After careful inspection, Long Chen noted that individually, the energy within each of his original runes was only about a tenth compared to the energy in Tang Wan-er or Gu Yang’s runes, but as he still had 108,000 original runes, the difficulty of his advancement was thousands of times greater.

Later, Long Chen understood the new difficulty of his discovered method, since in order to advance to the first Heavenstage of Foundation Forging, he had to condense 13 runes for each of his 108,000 acupuncture points, while other cultivators only needed to condense nine original runes on their Dantian. The entire process required a monstrous amount of Yuan Spirit Stones, enough to cultivate an army of Foundation Forging cultivators.

After advancing to the third Heavenstage of Foundation Forging, Long Chen fell into thought. Other people would condense nine runes into a foundation for their immortal platform. For the second Heavenstage, they would condense eight runes into the second level of their immortal platform. Following that pattern, their immortal platforms would end up being a conical shape in the end.

But his immortal platforms were different. The foundation was condensed through thirteen runes, and the second level was also condensed with thirteen runes. The size was also the same. The third level had also taken thirteen runes. If this continued, his immortal platforms would end up cylindrical, different from everyone else’s.
