My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 125 Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, Changes in the Dream Butterfly Diagram

Once the foundation is formed, the success of the foundation building is a foregone conclusion.

However, the entire foundation-building process is not yet complete.

At this moment, wisps of grayish-white light flew out from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness and merged directly into the foundation of the Dao.

This grayish-white energy is the origin of Jiang Chen's spiritual aperture.

The spiritual source is derived from the innate essence of humankind, which is gathered in a single acupoint.

Cultivators absorb spiritual energy and refine it into magical power, relying on this spiritual source.

After the Dao Foundation is formed, the origin of the spiritual aperture is directly integrated into the Dao Foundation.

The process of Foundation Establishment cultivators absorbing spiritual energy and refining their magical power is all handled by Dao Foundation cultivators.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator's Dao foundation is destroyed, the entire person is completely ruined, unless they sever their own cultivation.

With the integration of the spiritual essence, the foundation of the Dao becomes more stable.

At this moment, a hemispherical space shrouded in a dark blue light appeared in Jiang Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

The entire space has a radius of about ten feet, and inside there is a phantom image of a stone bed. Not far from the stone bed, there is also a miniature phantom image of an ancient pine tree.

A deep blue butterfly fluttered about in the space.

The form that Daoji manifested was exactly the same as the scene in the Dream Butterfly Picture.

However, the foundation of a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment is not solid, but rather formed by the convergence of mist-like energy.

Upon reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, the entire Dao Foundation will advance further, transforming into a single mass of liquid.

Only in the later stages of Foundation Building will the Dao Foundation gradually transform into a solid.

Only at its peak will it completely solidify.

At this moment, Jiang Chen also realized: 'So, it turns out my Dao Foundation is just a three-dimensional version of the Dream Butterfly Diagram.'

"This Foundation Establishment process went incredibly smoothly from beginning to end. My mana and blood energy might have been somewhat lacking initially, but a single high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill resolved all of that."

Once the foundation is solidified, the breakthrough is basically complete; all that remains is to consolidate one's cultivation.

He didn't do anything else and immediately lay down and fell fast asleep.

The unique feature of the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique is that cultivation speed is faster during sleep.

While he was asleep, Daoji began to frantically absorb and refine spiritual energy.

Outside the training room, Li Wusheng stared at the Dao Foundation projection on the roof, his eyes filled with surprise.

"It seems that both my master and I underestimated Junior Brother Jiang's talent; his foundation is quite profound."

Upon breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, there is an opportunity to improve one's qualifications.

If one comprehends the true meaning profound enough, one's Dao foundation will also be stronger, compensating for some deficiencies in spiritual apertures.

"There are only one in ten thousand cultivators who can use true meaning to make up for the deficiency of spiritual aperture. I never expected that my junior brother would actually do it."

Before long, the Dao Foundation projection slowly dissipated, and a vortex of spiritual energy appeared above the roof.

The surrounding spiritual energy was drawn into the vortex and eventually entered the training room.

Upon seeing this, Li Wusheng's expression of surprise deepened: "There is a third-grade spiritual vein in Changyuan Mountain."

Junior Brother was able to create a vortex of spiritual energy here; his speed in absorbing and refining magical power is already no less than mine.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the garrison headquarters in the center of Changyuan City, a thin middle-aged man stroked his long beard and said, "Junior Brother Iron Sword has excellent taste!"

I previously took in Li Wusheng, a natural-born sword cultivator.

"This time, he took in Jiang Chen, who has a second-grade spiritual aperture. I thought he had misjudged him, but I didn't expect this little guy to have such great potential."

"Great! There are successors to the outsiders. Once they grow up, I won't have to worry about them anymore."

[Day 18 of the Dream]

Jiang Chen slept through the entire night, only waking up when it was broad daylight.

Feeling the surge of power within his body, Jiang Chen was extremely satisfied.

"After stabilizing my early Foundation Establishment stage, the amount of mana within me is more than five times what it was before, not including the amount of true essence."

Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators not only possess magical power but also a higher level of true essence within their bodies.

A cultivator's level is determined by the quality and quantity of their true essence.

Normally, casting spells or even using supernatural powers consumes magical energy.

Even if one's magical power is exhausted, it will not affect one's cultivation level.

However, once true essence is depleted, cultivation will regress.

Once the true essence is exhausted, the foundation of one's Dao will collapse, leaving one either dead or crippled.

"This breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm in the dream went very smoothly. Since that's the case, I should strike while the iron is hot and break through as soon as possible in reality."

Upon realizing this, he immediately ended the dream.

-----------------

Back in the real world, Jiang Chen immediately took out the communication jade talisman that Iron Sword Master had given him when he first entered the Golden Cauldron Sect and sent a message.

Just as the dream had simulated, Li Wusheng arrived at the courtyard the next day.

After obtaining the three high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills, Jiang Chen began to adjust his state.

He followed the six steps simulated in his dream exactly, and the whole process went smoothly.

On the eighteenth day, Jiang Chen woke up early in the morning and found that his cultivation had stabilized.

"Previously, my spiritual sense had reached the limit of a Qi Refining cultivator, and it was difficult to improve it even slightly, so the Dream Butterfly Diagram no longer changed."

Now that I've broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, my divine sense should be greatly enhanced, and the Dream Butterfly Diagram should also undergo significant changes.

Thinking of this, he immediately focused his mind on the Dream Butterfly Painting beside him.

At this point, there were no longer three Dream Butterflies in the Dream Butterfly painting; only one Dream Butterfly remained, but it was much larger than the previous one.

"Goodness, as the three Dream Butterflies kept getting closer, I felt that the Dream Butterfly Picture was going to change."

So it turns out the three dream butterflies were meant to merge together.

"Now that only one Dream Butterfly remains, will my number of dreams only return to one?"

Thinking of this, he immediately probed the Dream Butterfly Diagram with his divine sense, and a surge of information immediately flooded into his consciousness.

Before long, he had sorted out the information.

【Dream of the Butterfly】

[Owner: Jiang Chen]

[Function: It can absorb the master's consciousness to replenish the Dream Butterfly's energy. By consuming the Dream Butterfly's energy, the master can gain the opportunity to enter a dream and simulate the future.]

Number of Dream Butterflies: 1

【Dream Butterfly Energy: 100%】

[Number of Dream Entry Attempts: Unlimited (As long as Dream Butterfly Energy is not depleted, you can enter a dream at any time)]

[Maximum time for simulating the future in dreams: 100 days (affected by the total amount of spiritual consciousness)]

After reading this, Jiang Chen felt a surge of excitement.

"Great! There's no limit to the number of times I can enter a dream now. As long as the Dream Butterfly energy isn't depleted, I can enter a dream anytime, anywhere."

This makes the choice of when to enter a dream very flexible.

"In the past, when I entered dreams to simulate the future and encountered difficult situations, I needed to enter dreams multiple times to simulate the future and find solutions."

Previously, there was a limit to the number of times you could enter a dream, so it took a lot of time to fully restore your Dream Butterfly energy before you could enter a dream again.

I can only dream about it once or twice a day.

There is currently no limit to the number of times you can enter a dream; you can enter a dream at any time. However, if the dream lasts for a long time, the advantages may not be obvious.

However, if one were to enter a dream and simulate the near future, the advantage would be enormous.

"Especially when I was refining the Foundation Establishment Pill in a dream, I only had three sets of medicinal materials, and I used up all three sets of medicinal materials in one dream."

To continue refining, you must exit the dream and re-enter it. You can only enter the dream three times consecutively, after which you must spend time restoring the Dream Butterfly's energy.

"I now have one hundred days of dream time to use. It takes only two hours to refine one batch of pills, and I can refine pills in my dreams six hundred times consecutively."

"Even during magical duels, with the aid of defensive magical artifacts like the Golden Armor Pendant, I can squeeze in time to enter my dreams multiple times to thoroughly understand all of my opponent's moves."
