I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years! Book 4: Chapter 15: You Won’t Be Able To Build A Foundation For A Lifetime

Book 4: Chapter 15: You Won’t Be Able To Build A Foundation For A Lifetime

“It’s impossible!”
In the dark space, the black-robed man’s chest, which had been withered for many years, was up and down with anger. He stretched out his skinny palm and slapped it heavily on the ground.
With a click, the force of the counter-shock shattered his arm like a plank of deadwood, but he seemed not to notice it either.
Because what happened on the screen was really nonsense.
Originally, everything was perfect. When Bai Qiuran opened the book, the black-robed man did sense the violent fluctuations in his mood.
But just when he was about to use the possession technique, this guy suddenly raised his hand and smashed the book along with the entire high platform of several tens of meters.
Through the screen, the black-robed man really couldn’t see what was written on the secret book, but he still saw the name of the book clearly.
That was obviously a secret method for foundation building. When he was in this trial, he also encountered similar situations. The Wise Immortal Mansion gave him a book that taught him how to make progress in the Land Immortal level. The secret book made him almost uttered.
According to the general process, when this situation happened in the “not getting what is wanted” trial, the Wise Immortal Mansion would use the formation to read the desires of the person in the trial in advance, and then it would search among the various secrets stored in the mansion, extracted the secrets that meet conditions the most, and only show half of them to the one who took the trial, let their mind be confused and experience the painful taste of “not getting what is wanted”.
For a rough analogy, the mood of the cultivator at that time was probably like those of readers who read a good novel that has been axed, and if they couldn’t let go of this unpleasant pain, they would never get out of the trial space.
So the problem was coming. From the screen, what Bai Qiuran asked for was just a method that teaches people how to build a foundation. Although the black-robed man did not understand why a super-strong cultivator wanted to do everything possible to search for a foundation-building method, he knew that even for the immortal, the mansion contained so many cultivating methods of them, let alone the Foundation Establishment stage.
It stood to reason that the secret foundation-building method that Bai Qiuran has in hand should be the best foundation-building method that has been written. After reading it, he should also behave like scratching his head and thinking hard, rather than violently smashed the secret book and the trial field to pieces.
His reaction was as if… as if something insulting him was written in that book.
But how could the mechanism of Wise Immortal Mansion be done?
Could it be said that the entire Wise Immortal Mansion, which has housed nearly all the wisdom of an era, could not find a foundation-building method for him?
The black-robed man felt that he was having a brainstorm, and his whole thoughts became a mess, faintly sighed:
“Father, my heart hurts…”
There was a smirking laugh from the skull head in the darkness nearby. The black-robed man calmed down, gave a cold snort, raised his hand, and took it back to his hand.
Immediately afterward, he moved his decayed body with great effort, pinched a magic seal, and dissipated in a thick fog.
Like the black robe man, Bai Qiuran’s mood at this moment was also very painful.
The sore spot for three thousand years was once again frantically taunted by an illusion, but fortunately, as the secret book was destroyed, he automatically passed the “not getting what is wanted” trial.
Besides the floating platform that Bai Qiuran broke, a bridge that connected to another platform appeared.
Bai Qiuran made a stinking face and stepped onto the bridge. After two steps, he thought about it, turned back, and kicked the floating platform he just left.
With a loud bang, the platform floating in the night sky flew out like a rocket launched and sank into the depths of the night sky.
After venting his anger, Bai Qiuran calmed down, he swaggered into the mist from the bridge and left the space.
Back on the cliff, Bai Qiuran found that he was close to the bottom of the mountain.
Only a thin cloud and mist remained in front of him. Through this cloud and mist, Bai Qiuran could even see the place below the cloud and mist. There was a land covered with green, and many pavilions, towers, palaces, and halls were built on the ground.
“Next, it should be the last suffering [five clinging-aggregates], right?”
Bai Qiuran touched his head.
“What kind of trick does this Stupid Immortal Mansion place in the last level? Why do I always feel as if I’m going to gain a lot of treasures?”
Just thinking about it couldn’t help him figure out, Bai Qiuran remembered the weird result of the three previous trials, so he decided to rely on his own, and recklessly walked straight into the fog.
What came this time was not the sense of spatial dislocation that was transmitted to other dimensions as before, but the feeling of gravity flipping that he experienced when he first entered this mountain.
Walking in the mist, Bai Qiuran suddenly saw that the earth under the mountain peak was suspended in the sky again. Those pavilions and towers had all become floating islands, and the earth had become a sea of clouds. The mountain also hangs upside down, as if it were seen from the outside world.
Bai Qiuran walked through the clouds and found himself in front of a tall Heavenly Gate. Behind the Heavenly Gate was a long corridor carved with white jade, which connected the floating islands in the sea of clouds. It looked like a scene from the Immortal Realm in the legend.
He stepped back a little and looked up at the Heavenly Gate. Above the Heavenly Gate, somebody had carved out the four characters with a majestic pen.
The Five Clinging Aggregates.
Everything was as Li Jinyao and he had guessed, this last level was different from all other trials before.
The so-called five aggregates were the aggregation of the five physical and mental factors that took part in the rise of craving and clinging: form, feeling, perceptions, mental activity, and consciousness.
According to Buddhism, when a person lived in this world, everything they heard, saw, thought about, encountered, and sensed would bring suffering to them. Their existence itself was suffering.
But that was a Buddhist view, and the Land Immortals would certainly not fully agree and accept it. Not to mention the Land Immortals, even Bai Qiuran would not agree with this view.
Life was indeed full of pain. For example, Bai Qiuran has not been able to build a foundation for three thousand years. Whenever he thought of this, he would feel pain in his heart. Tang Ruowei was born with no curve. When she sees other people of the same sex with big breasts, she would be very painful. But if there was only pain in life and nothing else, then what was the meaning of living in this world? Was it better to die?
The Buddha said that everything was suffering, but there was another term called “happiness in suffering”.
To say that in this trial, it’s possible that the only common point of view among Land Immortals, Buddhism, Bai Qiuran, and cultivators was that the cultivation was necessary to change their lives.
But he just didn’t know how the Immortal Mansion would express this view.
With this question in mind, Bai Qiuran stepped through this heavenly gate and entered the cloud corridor carved with white jade.
