The instant it was extinguished and the flames in the surroundings disappeared, the countless bizarre entities in the surroundings seemed to emit ear-piercing sharp laughter. They carried unprecedented greed and desire as they pounced toward Xu Qing from all directions.
However, in that instant, a light that was much more dazzling than the Spirit Breath Lantern from before shone. It was like the bright moon as it illuminated everything.
It was as though the world had lit up!
All the bizarre entities let out mournful cries. They directly turned into ashes and dissipated.
A lantern that looked like a burning inverted black umbrella appeared in front of Xu Qing!
It was the life lantern, a supreme treasure that he had obtained in the merfolk island.
The lantern wasn't lit. The light came from the life lantern itself. It looked like it was burning but it wasn't.
Even so, the light was still astonishing. The bizarre shadows were like moths to the fire, dying as they pounced upon Xu Qing. After most of them dissipated, although there were still remnants, they were clearly afraid and didn't dare to approach.
While this happened, Xu Qing found some clues in his heart.
At the next instant, his spirit energy surged in toward the heart, his mind buzzed and his body trembled intensely but he finally found the location of the last two magic apertures!
120 apertures!
In the history of Seven Blood Eyes, no one had been able to sense 120 magic apertures. And the location the magic apertures could only be sensed at the moment of Foundation Building.
Therefore, the number they sensed at this stage basically determined how far they could go.
In fact, it wasn't just the Seven Blood Eyes. It was rare for such a person to appear in the vast majority of sects and forces.
As such, the jade slip Xu Qing obtained had referred to the 120 apertures as the theoretical limit. As for what would happen after reaching it, there was no explanation.
However, after Xu Qing sensed all 120 magic apertures, he actually felt a sense of clarity. This feeling allowed him to faintly understand that 120… wasn't the limit.
As for those magic apertures, he couldn't sense them now. He needed to truly open all 120 of them before he could explore those concealed magic apertures.
However, he had a faint feeling that every magic aperture after 120 would be like a sprint. Every time he found another one in the future, it would cause a tremendous change to his body.
Xu Qing drew in a deep breath. He was strongly anticipating it but he knew that now wasn't the time to think about this matter. He would leave it for the future.
"Then, let's begin the second stage, opening the first magic aperture of Foundation Building!" Xu Qing grabbed the air, grabbing the last Foundation Building Pill.
He swallowed it.
Immediately, the spirit sea in his body erupted again, forming a new tide that rushed toward the first magic aperture he discovered in his body.
Xu Qing suddenly felt an extremely strong impact. He felt as though he had been knocked down by a giant beast flying at high speed. At the moment his body was about to collapse, the first magic aperture in his body opened!
It was as though the world had been split open!
The magic aperture he opened transformed into a bright point of light with flames forming inside. As a large amount of spirit energy surged in, it transformed into a vortex.
As it rumbled and rotated, the aura in his body underwent a drastic change. Flames rose and as they continued to spread, a wisp of bright thread of fire that seemed to be highly compressed slowly rose from the vortex.
This thread-like existence was… the magic power of a Foundation Building cultivator!
This wisp far surpassed the Perfected Qi Condensation Realm by far. They were at different levels.
As it continued to rise, it emitted a dazzling light and erupted with astonishing heat, causing Xu Qing's body to be illuminated.
As for the spirit sea vortex in Xu Qing's magic aperture, it far surpassed an ordinary cultivator's as his spirit sea had reached 5,000 feet when he was in Qi Condensation. This advantage would be greatly displayed when he was at the Foundation Building realm.
His magic aperture could accommodate the vortex formed by the 5000-foot-long spirit sea. The magic power produced by this was much denser.
The instant this magic power appeared and Xu Qing's aura changed, the magic power instantly circulated rapidly in Xu Qing's body. Wherever it passed, his body would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Firstly, his meridians. As the magic power circulated, his meridians became even more tenacious. One could even faintly see natural runes forming in his meridians.
After that, it was flesh and blood. Similarly, as magic power rapidly permeated his body, they changed inch by inch. In fact, if one were to zoom in, they would be able to see that all the matters that formed his flesh and blood had undergone intrinsic changes.
Next were his bones and internal organs. All the areas were now rumbling. His bones had become even harder and there were also runes on them. Even his internal organs were the same.
This was… a magic body!
The moment a cultivator stepped into Foundation Building, it was like a leap in life level, turning ordinary into magic!
As the magic body was formed and magic power spread out, a fluctuation that far exceeded Qi Condensation erupted from Xu Qing's body. When it spread everywhere, Xu Qing opened his eyes, revealing a dazzling purple light.
He recalled that the Foundation Building jade slip had said that disciples who cultivated the Forbidden Sea Dragonwhale could open their second magic aperture faster than others when they were at the Foundation Building realm.
When they reached the Foundation Building realm and opened their second magic aperture, they would have an additional opportunity to improve their body compared to others. This kind of thing would only happen at the instant they reached the Foundation Building realm. It wouldn't be like this when they opened other magic apertures in the future.
