Chapter 457 - 183 Yan Mountain Peak, Breakthrough in Public! 7 Years of Cultivation, Finally Achieving the Dao Foundation! _3

"This is... my past life?"

Lu Changsheng’s heart trembled.

The Spiritual Tribulation is the manifestation of the deepest memories within one’s mind.

What were Lu Changsheng’s deepest memories?

They were, in fact, memories of his previous life.

The world he had crossed over from.

That world had an immense impact on him.

Lu Changsheng felt that he would never be able to return there again in this lifetime.

Yet, unexpectedly, within the Spiritual Tribulation, Lu Changsheng once again "returned" to the past.

He gazed at the familiar towering skyscrapers.

And the bustling streets filled with moving vehicles and crowds.

Everything was just as familiar as he remembered.

Although Lu Changsheng was fully aware that he was within the Spiritual Tribulation, he still felt a deep sense of "immersion" in the experience.

It was as though he genuinely relished this feeling.

He even wished he could stay here forever.

"Even if it’s just an Illusion Realm, it’s not bad..."

Lu Changsheng murmured softly.

"But alas, in the end, it’s an illusion, a falsehood..."

"Moreover, no matter how significant my previous life was to me—my experiences in the Martial Arts World have been fulfilling."

"In the Martial Arts World, I can witness eternal life, observing the winds and clouds of the world with a smile. Yet here, I am merely one among the masses; within decades, I would turn to dust..."

"Thus, this place no longer belongs to me. My roots now lie within the Martial Arts World..."

Lu Changsheng’s thoughts grew increasingly clear.

He felt no longer lost within the Illusion Realm.

Even though the previous desire to "fully immerse" himself in the illusion arose, it was merely a lingering attachment.

His mind was incomparably resolute.

His will was unwavering.

The mere Spiritual Tribulation could do nothing to Lu Changsheng.

"Crack."

In the instant Lu Changsheng attained understanding, the entire world shattered like a mirror, fissures spreading throughout.

In the blink of an eye, the world broke apart completely, plunging his consciousness briefly into darkness before returning to his body.

"I’ve returned... The Spiritual Tribulation—I’ve overcome it!"

Having passed the Spiritual Tribulation, Lu Changsheng’s heart felt unspeakably light and unburdened, as though he had shed all weights from his soul.

After overcoming the Spiritual Tribulation, Lu Changsheng observed his Brain Domain, which appeared to be boiling, as if undergoing a transformation.

"Transform."

Lu Changsheng activated his intent.

With his consciousness leading the way, his Brain Domain immediately quaked.

"Boom—rumble."

Above Lu Changsheng’s head, a Hundred Miles Brain Domain materialized in an instant.

An overwhelming presence radiated outward from the Hundred Miles Brain Domain.

Originally an illusory Brain Domain, it now began to solidify, transitioning from void to reality under the influence of the Boundary Transformation Stone.

During the process of transformation, the Brain Domain endured extreme pressure.

Any minor error could lead to its collapse.

If the Brain Domain were merely tens of miles wide or contained only a few fused Boundary Stones, it wouldn’t withstand such immense pressure.

Therefore, to solidify a Dao Foundation, a Brain Domain must span a hundred miles and refine ten Boundary Stones at minimum.

Lu Changsheng followed every step methodically as he forged his Dao Foundation, and everything proceeded smoothly.

His current Brain Domain solidification was slow.

But bit by bit, it steadily transformed into reality.

Everyone on Yan Mountain Peak could clearly observe this moment.

"The Brain Domain is beginning to solidify, which means Lu Changsheng has already overcome the Spiritual Tribulation."

"To pass the Spiritual Tribulation in such a short time demonstrates Lu Changsheng’s ultimate mental resilience and unparalleled willpower. The Spiritual Tribulation didn’t stand a chance against him."

"Unbelievable—Lu Changsheng makes overcoming tribulations look as effortless as eating and drinking. For other martial artists, passing the Spiritual Tribulation is nothing short of a daunting challenge."

"Now his Brain Domain is beginning to solidify. This rare process is a once-in-a-lifetime event. We must observe it carefully..."

Many Divine Treasure martial artists focused intensely on Lu Changsheng’s Brain Domain solidification.

Such an opportunity was immeasurably rare.

They weren’t going to let it slip away.

"It’s said that the slower the Brain Domain solidifies, the deeper its foundation and the greater its future potential."

"Indeed—the slower the solidification, the greater the potential. Only then can one hope to forge an exceptional Dao Foundation, perhaps even surpass the Dao Foundation!"

"Beyond the Dao Foundation... lies the Divine Power Realm! It rivals Golden Core True Masters. No, in some ways, individuals in the Divine Power Realm even surpass those of the Golden Core in sheer combat power..."

"Right now, Lu Changsheng is merely at the Dao Foundation stage. Achieving the Divine Power Realm—that’s already beyond our comprehension..."

The disciples present engaged in lively discussions.

The realm beyond Dao Foundation was Divine Power Realm.

Yet attaining Divine Power was extremely challenging.

It was ten times harder than establishing the Dao Foundation!

Generally, those who achieved the Divine Power Realm became titanic figures within the Ancient Domain.

Throughout the Ancient Domain’s great sects, Divine Power practitioners constituted the pinnacle.

Perhaps within certain ancient sects, there might exist realms surpassing Divine Power.

But such figures were the sect’s absolute foundation and support, rarely appearing in public.

Time flowed steadily.

One day, two days, three days...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The disciples were astonished to discover that Lu Changsheng’s Brain Domain had yet to reach even half-solidification.

"Why is the pace so slow?"

"Typically, Divine Treasure martial artists require only one to two days, no more than three to four, to fully solidify a Brain Domain and establish their Dao Foundation. But it’s been three days, and Lu Changsheng’s Brain Domain is only partially solidified?"

"At this rate, it’ll take at least five, no, six days for complete solidification."

"To solidify in six days—across the entire Ancient Domain, the number of Dao Foundation experts requiring six days or more for solidification can likely be counted on one hand."
