The news of the extraterrestrial invasion spread throughout the world, naturally causing a huge uproar.
The citizens of countries that Qi Yunxiao mentioned would receive preferential treatment rejoiced, appearing eager to witness the unfolding events.
Meanwhile, the citizens of countries not mentioned, who might face "special attention" in the future, lamented their fate, with many already fleeing to countries like the United States.
However, among these nations, one stood out.
After the news spread, many of their citizens also spoke ill of their country and fled their homes.
But when the nation announced its wartime preparations, declared its firm opposition to the invasion, and vowed to fight the invaders to the end, the patriotic fervor of the majority of its people was ignited!
Countless young citizens enlisted, and numerous retired soldiers took up arms once more.
In an instant, the entire nation united, and the people's morale soared to unprecedented heights!
Only those who have experienced and united can truly understand the suffering of invasion and the strength of unity.
The Dragon Country was such a nation.
The people of the Dragon Country understood!
However, in this war against aggression, a united populace and conscripted soldiers were not enough.
The Azure Star was not just a technological planet, but also a planet of cultivation.
Although cultivators there, similar to those on Blue Star, could not reach higher realms, their peak was the Nascent Soul stage, not Blue Star's Golden Core stage.
A difference of an entire major stage was almost like the difference between heaven and earth.
Moreover, given the current situation in the Dragon Country, it was almost certain that the Azure Star possessed cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.
A shadow of despair fell upon everyone in the Central Sea.
Their only hope now lay with Lie Feng, who was cultivating from scratch, and Qin Xuan, who was accompanying Lie Xinyuan to the Lie family for a breakthrough.
That's right.
Upon learning of the Azure Star's impending invasion of the Blue Star, Qin Xuan had followed Lie Xinyuan to the Lie family.
Firstly, the Lie family possessed the most concentrated spiritual energy among all the minor realms.
Secondly, the Lie family had two experts above the Golden Core stage: Lie Xinyuan and Chen Hui.
Qin Xuan was currently stuck at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, unable to break through. With these two present, he could gain some reference and assistance for his breakthrough.
Speaking of assistance, Qin Xuan found himself missing Chen Xuan, who had been gone for some time.
His current "Tai Xuan Scripture" was too complex, rendering Ke Wudi and the others completely unhelpful.
If a Celestial Venerable like Chen Xuan were present, he would undoubtedly be able to easily point out Qin Xuan's current flaws.
Then, breaking through from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage would be a breeze!
Unfortunately, Master Chen Xuan had not left any contact information, and he hadn't returned during this period.
Therefore, Qin Xuan had no choice but to ask Lie Xinyuan and Chen Hui to accompany him for an "expert consultation."
"Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment, as the name suggests, is about forging the foundation of cultivation."
"My cultivation technique is fire, so my Dao foundation is also fire."
"Master, what attribute does your Tai Xuan Scripture belong to?"
"Perhaps you could try attempting it in this direction."
Upon hearing Lie Xinyuan's suggestion, Qin Xuan immediately shook his head.
His "Tai Xuan Scripture" was all-encompassing, allowing him to utilize abilities of all attributes according to his will.
However, if he were to establish his foundation along a single attribute, setting aside the possibility of success, even if it did succeed, it would severely limit his application of the "Tai Xuan Scripture," making it a loss rather than a gain.
Lie Xinyuan nodded regretfully upon hearing this.
Chen Hui, on the other hand, watched the two of them in silence for a moment before slowly speaking, his expression appearing somewhat uncertain.
"Is there a very special energy within your body?"
"I sensed some of it when you transmitted spiritual energy to me before."
"If there is, you might as well try using that energy as your Dao foundation."
"It is already compatible with your spiritual energy, so you shouldn't encounter the situation you were just worried about."
"A very... special energy?"
When it came to special energy, Qin Xuan naturally thought of the mysterious Chaos Qi that had appeared within him.
Logically, he had been cultivating step-by-step and had never absorbed anything special, so such an energy shouldn't have suddenly appeared within him.
But the fact was, Chaos Qi had indeed appeared within him, and this Chaos Qi had also affected his "True Martial Dao Scripture."
Hmm?
Wait a moment!
Chaos Qi had affected the "True Martial Dao Scripture"?!
Recalling the scene when he first cultivated the "True Martial Dao Scripture," Qin Xuan suddenly understood something.
When he was halfway through cultivating his "True Martial Dao Scripture," the Chaos Qi had intervened.
Could it be that the so-called "True Martial Dao Scripture" he cultivated later was not the original version but one modified by the Chaos Qi?
If that were the case, then his "Tai Xuan Scripture," which included the "True Martial Dao Scripture," must have also been influenced by the Chaos Qi.
Using Chaos Qi as his Dao foundation might indeed be feasible!
"Senior Chen is indeed a great cultivator; your words have enlightened me!"
"I will try it now, and perhaps it will truly work!"
After expressing his gratitude, Qin Xuan quickly sat down, calmed his mind, and frantically circulated the vast spiritual energy within him.
The so-called Dao foundation needed to be forged upon the cultivator's sea of qi. To condense the sea of qi, one needed to transform all of their gaseous spiritual energy into liquid form, condensing it in the dantian.
Therefore, while circulating his spiritual energy, Qin Xuan also frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth present in the Lie family's realm.
In less than half a minute, a spiritual energy vortex tens of feet high appeared above Qin Xuan's head.
"Terrifying, truly terrifying!"
"Is this what Master looks like when he unleashes his full power to absorb vital energy?"
Feeling the spiritual energy rapidly gathering from the realm, Lie Xinyuan's expression changed several times.
He had initially regretted not fighting to the death.
Because the Heavenly Dao Oath imposed too many restrictions on him, and his relationship with Qin Xuan was far more complex than a simple master-servant dynamic.
But now he realized that if he hadn't acted decisively and taken the Heavenly Dao Oath back then, Qin Xuan would have been able to kill him directly in less than a second!
This Heavenly Dao Oath had indeed preserved his "extremely fragile" life.
Qin Xuan was naturally unaware of Lie Xinyuan's thoughts.
Because at this moment, he was fully focused on condensing his spiritual energy into liquid.
As the first drop of milky white liquid appeared in his dantian, a brand new area, the sea of qi, was officially formed within Qin Xuan.
One drop, two drops, a thousand drops, ten thousand drops. Countless drops of spiritual liquid slowly gathered and accumulated in the sea of qi until a void-like framework appeared, and then it slowly stopped.
The so-called Foundation Establishment, besides opening up the sea of qi, naturally required forging the Dao foundation.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Qin Xuan no longer hesitated.
He mobilized his vast spiritual energy and directed it directly towards the Chaos Qi in his dantian.
As the Chaos Qi was gradually refined, Qin Xuan's Dao foundation was indeed slowly taking shape.
However, during the process of forging the Dao foundation, he discovered a new problem.
That was, the amount of Chaos Qi was too little, not enough for him to achieve a complete Dao foundation!
To avoid affecting the forging of his Dao foundation in the future, he had no choice but to preserve the nascent form and slowly withdrew from his cultivation.
