“To cultivate ‘The Union of Differences¹, you need to match it with a compatible spiritual object. This is the best choice given to you by the Soulful Mirror.” Che Yucheng pointed at the illusory longsword on the forehead display of the mannequin, explaining while manipulating the genderless dummy to transform.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd.

The dummy began to sit cross-legged, taking on a cultivation posture.

Its brain region seemed to store spiritual energy, which, upon the transformation’s initiation, flashed along with the illusory longsword on the dummy’s forehead display, passing through the body’s meridians by the twelve-story building, finally pooling into the Qi sea in the Dantian.

“This spiritual energy is equivalent to one percent of yours during cultivation. You can observe the slow motion of the spiritual energy circulation within the meridians, which signifies potential areas for improvement during your cultivation.”

As the mannequin began its first round of Qi cultivation, Che Yucheng meticulously explained, then activated the fast-forward button.

Subsequently, Chen Mobai clearly saw the digital wheel in the dummy’s left eye jump from “one” to “two”, then from “two” to “three”, where it got stuck.

“The left eye represents the realm of Qi cultivation. ‘One’ signifies the first layer of Qi cultivation. Getting stuck at ‘three’ means you would likely hit a bottleneck when cultivating ‘The Union of Differences’.”

Che Yucheng paused here, explained again, and then hit the fast-forward button again.

But it was stuck for nearly nine minutes before the digital wheel in the dummy’s left eye slowly clicked to “four”.

Nine minutes implies that you will be stuck in a nine-month bottleneck stage at level three of Qi cultivation. Generally, those who get stuck at this stage are not suitable for cultivating ‘The Union of Differences’.”

Che Yucheng’s words made the newcomer next to Chen Mobai turn slightly pale, but he remained headstrong with resolute determination in his eyes.

The digital wheel in the left eye got stuck again for fifteen minutes when it reached “six”.

Chen Mobai clearly saw the young man next to him clenching his fists tightly. Che Yucheng did not say much, just maintaining pressure on the fast-forward button. When it reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, he signaled everyone to watch carefully.

“This is the process of Foundation Establishment. The mannequin was initially made for this sole purpose.”

Having heard that, Chen Mobai clearly saw the dummy’s transparent internal organs and meridians begin to tremble wildly. Right after, the spiritual power within the Dantian began drawing to its center, forming a spiritual power vortex and solidifying into the first drop of liquified spiritual power.

So that’s the function of a spiritual power vortex. No wonder that Qing Ping said in his Five Elements Cultivation lecture that practicing this could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.

Chen Mobai was excited, his admiration for Qing Ping rising once again.

However, he also realized why the success rate of Foundation Establishment was so high at the four great Daoist academies.

With the Critical Method, a simulation mannequin to mimic Foundation Establishment, and an aid for Foundation Establishment, even those with average Spirit Root aptitude would significantly increase their chances of success in Foundation Establishment when they had these three conditions.

In awe, Chen Mobai suddenly noticed that the clearly visible face of the simulation mannequin started to blur. The liquified spiritual power within its Dantian went out of control, rushing out and damaging internal organs in its path.

Shortly after, the dummy’s illusory internal meridians and organs faded and turned transparent again.

It signified that the Foundation Establishment failed!

Wang Xingyu, you are not suitable for cultivating ‘The Union of Differences’.

This is the result of the simulation mannequin’s prediction.”

Che Yucheng spoke regretfully. The young man standing beside Chen Mobai turned pale. However, the obstinacy remained evident in his eyes.

“I wish to try. If I successfully cultivate the Critical Method and only get stuck in the second step of Foundation Establishment, I believe that I can succeed in Foundation Establishment.”

The young man named Wang Xingyu spoke out his choice after some silence.

Che Yucheng sighed upon hearing this, and dutifully gave a final word of advice.

“Even if you manage to cultivate the Critical Method, it cannot guarantee a 100% success rate for Foundation Establishment.”

In the simulation of the mannequin, only when your probability of successful Foundation Establishment goes above 50%, will it show success. If you want to cultivate ‘The Union of Differences’, this is far from sufficient.”

“You don’t have to hurry to make a decision, you can go back and think it over carefully. After you’ve thought it through, you can come to find me.”

After advising, he removed a USB stick and inserted it into another mannequin.

This thing isn’t just for one-time use, is it?

Chen Mobai saw this scene and was puzzled.

However, he believed that given the extreme frugality of the Dao of immortality regarding resources, such disposable items couldn’t possibly be manufactured.

While he was lost in his thoughts, the transformation of the second mannequin had already begun. This time, the spiritual object chosen was a bird.

Unfortunately, the Foundation Establishment still failed.

The girl named Lu Zixuan looked gloomy, but she chose to heed Che Yucheng’s advice and gave up cultivating ‘The Union of Differences’.

Among the subsequent eight people, only two of them successfully established their foundation in one go during the mannequin’s transformation.

Their excitement was evident.

However, among those who failed the Foundation Establishment simulation, only three decided to give up. The rest expressed their wish to try, Che Yucheng unanimously gave them three days to think it over.

Next are the newcomers who have chosen the ‘Pure Yang Scroll’.”

Chen Mobai looked at the other two boys; the three of them walked up to the three mannequins in front of them.

“After Yuan Yang’s revision, the threshold of ‘Pure Yang Scroll’ has disappeared. In theory, as long as life span permits, anyone can cultivate it.”

Che Yucheng’s words puzzled Chen Mobai. If success is guaranteed, what is there for the mannequin to simulate?

Then Che Yucheng explained the problem.

“However, the issue with the ‘Pure Yang Scroll’ lies on lifespan, as half of your life has to be used for cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body, which naturally reduces the time available for advancing realms.”

“During Qi cultivation, it doesn’t impact much. But after Foundation Establishment, while others only need a few years to break through a realm level, you might need ten years.”

“Based on the patterns seen in Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pure Yang Academy over the past thousand years, If you establish your foundation with ‘Pure Yang Scroll’ before the age of 30, you have a chance of achieving Core Formation. After 30, every single case, without exception, died of old age at the stage of Foundation Establishment.”

So that’s what the simulation mannequin predicts.

Chen Mobai understood.

He also understood why the original Crimson Robed Daoist had abandoned the ‘Pure Yang Scroll’ and converted to practice Scorching Heaven Cultivation.

Che Yucheng inserted Chen Mobai’s USB stick first. Afterwards, he saw the transparent mannequin in front of him transform into his appearance, and internal meridians and organs began appearing in its body.

The glow of the three-colored spirit root appeared, and the training routes of both Pure Yang Daoist Body and Pure Yang Scroll started running within the mannequin’s body. The digital wheel in the left eye began to rotate.

When it turned to the number “nine”, Chen Mobai saw a line of text appearing on the display screen on the mannequin’s forehead.

Age: 39.

“Your fire spiritual roots value is too low. If you divide your attention to cultivate the three Yangs, you can reach perfection in the ninth layer of Qi cultivation by the age of 39 and attempt your first Foundation Establishment.”

Without any surprise, Che Yucheng began to simulate the Foundation Establishment process.

Just when everyone expected failure, it surprisingly succeeded in Foundation Establishment at the first attempt..
