The horizon showed a touch of red glow, giving Demon City a sense of warmth.
In the courtyard, Li Fan opened his eyes and stood up.
His posture was upright, body like a sword, spine like a dragon, and his entire demeanor seemed transformed. As his muscles and bones became active, there appeared to be faint sounds of thunder.
Li Fan looked inward at his body, as if a giant sword was supporting his flesh, every bone within him resembled a dragon-shaped sharp sword.
*This was his foundation.*
"Foundation established."
Li Fan revealed a smile. Entering the fourth stage of cultivation, the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was no longer considered a low-level cultivator.
Establishing a foundational basis for the Great Path in the Da Li Dynasty meant a standard of middling excellence, allowing for a certain social status. Advancing one more step to the Condensed Core Realm, one could even become the family head of a city.
