The Nascent Soul was scared out of his wits.
If he were at his peak, he wouldn’t have deigned to glance at an attack of this level. But now, weakened to the extreme, he was utterly incapable of resisting this strike.
The nascent soul tried to flee, but as the ice spear charged forward, it carried a power that froze everything, making his movements extraordinarily slow and preventing him from covering much distance.
In the next instant, the ice spear pierced straight through! The nascent soul’s face was filled with disbelief and intense unwillingness.
He had an immense background, a name that once struck terror into countless beings, and everything that came with a lofty status.
But all of it, everything, would turn to smoke and clouds at this moment.
“Boom!”
The Nascent Soul’s body exploded on the spot, leaving nothing behind.
Bai Sha didn’t care what kind of background the enemy had. All she knew was that it was an enemy, and enemies had to die!
Watching the Nascent Soul explode, Bai Sha let out a breath and immediately headed for the exit.
After the Nascent Soul died, the door leading outside automatically opened. Bai Sha swam out into the seawater without any hindrance.
Looking back, the door, as if condensed from light, still seemed to exist there. Perhaps other demon cultivators would discover this place in the future, but when they did, they would find nothing left.
“Splash!”
Accompanied by the sound of flowing water, Bai Sha quickly departed.
The Eastern Sea was vast and unfathomably deep.
Bai Sha found a hidden undersea cave, concealed herself within it, and manipulated the vegetation outside to grow together and form a barrier.
The next step was Foundation Establishment.
Even though everything was going according to plan, Bai Sha still felt a bit nervous inside now that she was truly facing this.
She took out the Sea Spirit Pearl, looked at this pearl brimming with the aura of the ocean, and then began the Foundation Establishment process according to the method recorded in the Raging Waves Art.
Threads of demonic power wove into a net, wrapping around Bai Sha’s body and enveloping the Sea Spirit Pearl within it as well.
She was slowly fusing the Sea Spirit Pearl into her own body, making it the Dao Foundation she needed.
Time slowly passed during the Foundation Establishment process.
…
In the blink of an eye, twenty days had gone by.
Within an undersea cave, a surge of powerful demonic energy abruptly erupted, causing the seaweed outside the cave to dance chaotically and forcing urgent bubbles from the seawater.
Immediately after, a Great White Shark swam out from within.
“So this is what it feels like to be in the Foundation Establishment Stage?”
Bai Sha felt the power within her, much stronger than before, and revealed a satisfied expression.
She had successfully used the Sea Spirit Pearl to establish her foundation, reaching the Early Foundation Establishment Stage in one go. Her strength was now as different from before as clouds and mud.
Only upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage could one understand the power of Foundation Establishment.
Upon internal inspection, Bai Sha could sense that at the center of her body, the Sea Spirit Pearl had fused completely and become a part of her.
This was a Supreme Dao Foundation. By using it for her foundation, Bai Sha would receive extremely high bonuses in the future, whether for cultivating arts or spells. It was something that would make any cultivator envious.
“About twenty days have passed. Next, I should do these things…”
Bai Sha didn’t stay elated for long before calming down and pondering what needed to be done.
Repeating a lifetime, she had a great many things to accomplish. Some things planned in her previous life needed to be completed in this one.
Bai Sha quickly decided what to do first and swiftly darted through the seawater.
…
Although both were part of the sea, the shallows and the deep were worlds apart.
The deep sea was dark, with light rarely found, but the shallows were not necessarily so.
When there was sufficient sunlight outside, the light would also penetrate the seawater. The closer to the surface, the brighter it was.
The brightness of the sunlight and the gentleness of the seawater intertwined, making every drop of water in the shallows seem dreamlike and beautiful.
This was a small undersea canyon, piled with rocks and thick with seaweed. Many schools of fish swam back and forth here, making it look vibrant and full of life.
The arrival of Bai Sha, a Great White Shark, stirred up currents of water, causing the fish to retreat and not dare approach.
Inside the canyon, Bai Sha spotted the existence of a small stone house.
This was the residence of the Golden Light Sea Lion.
During the final period of her fifth life, the Golden Light Sea Lion, a member of the Myriad Law Society, had harbored a grudge and brought many demon cultivators from the Myriad Law Society to attack the White Shark Territory, resulting in the deaths of many Great White Sharks there.
Bai Sha would not forget this debt. Besides, a Technique Jade containing a Foundation Establishment spell was also a rather good item, so she naturally came to visit the Golden Light Sea Lion.
“Not here?”
Bai Sha arrived outside the small house but didn’t see the Golden Light Sea Lion.
However, she remembered the secret compartment in his house. She entered the house, found the secret compartment, opened it, and took out a piece of glittering white jade.
This was the Technique Jade.
Bai Sha poured in demonic power to examine it. The cultivation art for the Water Shadow Art, as well as a demonstration of the art after mastery, surfaced in her mind.
“A very good spell.”
Bai Sha nodded with satisfaction and began to cultivate it on the spot.
After possessing a Supreme Dao Foundation, Bai Sha’s talent had reached a rather astonishing level. It didn’t take long for her to gain a deep understanding of the Water Shadow Art and directly master it.
Water Shadow Art!
Bai Sha cast the spell, and a replica of herself, condensed from seawater, appeared beside her.
This was her water shadow.
However, the water shadow looked rather fragile and didn’t possess strong combat capabilities.
“Although I quickly mastered this spell, my mastery isn’t yet refined, so I can’t bring out its full effect.”
Bai Sha understood where the problem lay.
She wasn’t worried about this issue; instead, she was somewhat pleased. From the time she first encountered this spell to being able to cast it, it hadn’t taken long at all. She figured it wouldn’t take too much time to master it completely.
Under the influence of her Supreme Dao Foundation, her talent was probably unmatched in the entire Eastern Sea.
Bai Sha continued to immerse herself in learning the spell.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
At a certain moment after three days, Bai Sha felt a stir in her heart and stopped studying the spell.
She swam to the doorway of the small house and looked into the distance.
Within the seawater, a figure was approaching the small house. It was a Golden Light Sea Lion with golden skin.
Bai Sha had remained here to cultivate after obtaining the Technique Jade precisely to wait for the Golden Light Sea Lion’s return.
