Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao-Chapter 235: Breakthrough, First Immortal Foundation: Foreboding

"I'll be meeting Eve in three days which means I can spend at most fifteen days here at most."

"I wonder what is so important for her wanting me to meet her. I just hope she isn't pranking me to have a date with her like the last time."

Arthur recalled a certain fond memory and shook his head.

"Distractions for my grand goal, that is what they are. The grand dao has my sights for now," Arthur chanted like a mantra.

Although that wasn't what he really thought, it was partly true.

"Nine Heavens Sacred Universal Scripture."

"First Spirit God Star Foundation..."

Arthur quickly entered a cultivation state as he summoned his Dao Devouring Martial Spirit and brought out a set of special ingredients with many of them exuding an ancient aura.

"Absorb..."

The Dao Devouring Martial Spirit began to rotate and voraciously devour all the cultivation resources and refined them and even Arthur's Dao Devouring Physique was activated as it began to do the same.

In the blink of an eye Arthur released the next batch of cultivation resources and repeated the process again as he divided his attention and began to forge the first set of the 81 Star Foundation.

Within his Dantian, the space above it began to tremble as Arthur circulated his cultivation technique.

At the same time, an ethereal power from the void was being extracted and infused into the Dantian and something magical began to take place.

A transparent round platform was beginning to appear and runes were being increased on it as the chaos essence energy was being infused into it at the same time.

After a while a faint star began to appear off the side of the altar and soon it was solidly formed.

Another name for the Half-Step Martial Emperor Realm is also the First Immortal Foundation.

This is something many people in the lower realms are unaware of.

Generally, after a cultivator forges the first star of his foundation, he can breakthrough to the next realm and officially become a Martial Emperor Realm Cultivator.

But he will find it extremely hard to breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm in his lifetime and completely impossible to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

But this wasn't the most important point.

The major thing was even if they succeeded in reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm and beyond, they will never meet the conditions to ascend and become an Immortal of the higher realms.

Hence, in the Immortal World, the Half-Step Martial Emperor Realm is actually called the First Foundation Realm and is regarded as an official cultivation realm unlike it is in the lower realms.

In order to have the qualifications to become an immortal one must forge a Nine Star Foundation at the very least.

Still, even amongst Nine-Star Foundations, some are stronger and much more solid than others and this creates a disparity when they breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Moreover this disparity will keep on compounding up until the breakthrough to the Immortal Realm.

Without any distracting thoughts, Arthur continued his cultivation as star after star was slowly appearing on the altar in his Dantian.

As the altar took form, it began to release an archaic aura that none before it ever had as it was being forged with the most powerful essence energy.

Chaos Essence Energy.

*Boom!*

As the Ninth Star was formed, the air around Arthur trembled. A certain resonance with the world was former and Arthur experienced a massive leap in his Mental Power and Physical Strength.

This meant a lot things.

Firstly, his mind can control and utilize greater amounts of his almost infinite soul power.

'Right now, I can match some Martial Ancestors by Soul Power alone, and if I use soul attacks, I can kill one in a hit,' Arthur thought, satisfied with the progress...a little.

'This is too slow.'

'Now what else has changed...'

"Hmm, my Chaos Dragon bloodline have been strengthened again. My essence energy pool have increased greatly. It is already almost a hundred times the size of what others with a Nine Star Foundation would possess."

"I wonder what kind of genius I would be called if I was in the upper realms."

----

In the wake of profound cultivation within the time chamber, Arthur emerged with a newfound strength, his Dantian now adorned with the first set of nine-star foundations.

The ethereal glow of his internal energy radiated a power that seemed to echo the very essence of the world itself.

'This resonance with the world is strange but I feel it won't be long before I breakthrough to the next level of mastery in the comprehension of concepts.'

As he stepped out from the chamber, and returned to the real world, he sensed that the world seemed to hold a certain intimacy with his current self.

However, time was a relentless force, and Arthur had his appointment awaiting him.

"It is already the day I'm supposed to meet her. I hope it will be interesting."

Arthur utilized the teleportation ring given by Suo Hao. In moments, he appeared where Suo Hao resided, with one purpose in mind, to seek insights into the realms beyond the Mortal Emperor Realm.

"Senior," Arthur began, his voice a calm, "I need to know more about the realms that surround ours. I believe you might should have some information right?"

Suo Hao nodded, acknowledging Arthur's inquiry. "Indeed, I have knowledge of the neighboring realms. There are four in total—three of which are hostile to your world and one which is neutral."

As Suo Hao delved into the details, Arthur absorbed the information with focused attention.

"There is the Great Titan World, the Darkraith World, the Demon World, and the Sky Spirit World."

"The first three are the hostile worlds and the last one, the Sky Spirit World is neutral, but also very powerful."

"How powerful?"

"Amongst the four it is the most powerful and is at the upper limit of the lower realms."

"But the most dangerous of them to your world is the Darkraith World. This is home to the Draikol Race."

"The Draikol Race?"

"The Draikol Race are the inhabitants of the Darkraith world and they are the most chaotic amongst the four."

"They wield the power of nether essence, and their connection to the Netherrealm makes them particularly formidable. This race played a significant role in the past Realm War," Suo Hao explained, his tone carrying a weight of caution.

"I see."

They talked a bit more and Arthur left quickly after that.

"Time to go meet-?!"

*Ba-dum!*

'What is this?'

Arthur glanced northward from where he was.

'That is where Eve is.'

*Ba-dum!*

'This feeling, something is wrong!'

Arthur felt a sense of foreboding wash over his heart.

'Eve..'
