In the wooden house, Wang Chunyang held Wang Chunfeng's wrist, checking his injuries and physical condition.

Listening to the Lingxiao Sect members describe various aspects of Foundation Establishment, Wang Chunyang slowly released his elder brother's wrist, much of the worry on his brow dissipating, and said, "Although my eldest brother failed in Foundation Establishment, his body is not a major issue, though it seems his Cultivation Realm has been somewhat damaged, probably needing some time to recover."

Helian Zhan said, "As long as he's alright, that's good. Patriarch Wang, don't be too anxious to recover, take your time. With sufficient Spirit Stones here, in three to five years you can return to your peak, then it's not too late to attempt Foundation Establishment again."

Wang Chunfeng gave a wry smile and said, "The path of cultivation is slow step by step, especially after failing at Foundation Establishment; my Dao Heart is also damaged, that motivation is gone, I don't know if I can regain my cultivation, let alone consider another attempt at Foundation Establishment."

Wang Chunyang said with sorrow, "Elder brother, don't lose heart, and certainly don't give up. Since there are Foundation Establishment Pills that can increase the probability of success, no matter how difficult it is, I will go to the Southern Domain Cultivation World to seek Foundation Establishment Pills."

Wang Chunfeng was touched but shook his head firmly and said, "Sixth brother, do not take risks for me. Even if you get the Foundation Establishment Pill, it should be kept for Chun Jiang or Wang Lei, who have more potential."

Wang Chunyang remained silent.

Just earlier, the members of Lingxiao Sect mentioned that once Foundation Establishment fails, attempting it again is extremely difficult, with a lower success rate than the first attempt.

Foundation Establishment Pills are also very precious and hard to obtain; should he ever get one, it would likely be prioritized for other promising members of the family.

This is the choice of a Cultivation Family.

Everything is centered on family development; whoever is outstanding and can offer more support for the family's progress will receive the resources.

A single person attaining Dao can elevate all around them; this phrase aptly describes the cultivation world.

Therefore, although Wang Chunfeng is the family head, failing at Foundation Establishment means he might soon have to step off the high-level stage of the Langya Wang Family.

Soon, everyone exited the wooden house.

The people waiting outside eagerly asked about the situation, and those who had been inside explained.

Learning that even a Divine Travel Realm expert like Wang Chunfeng failed at Foundation Establishment, the other Divine Travel Realm cultivators - especially those who felt they had made rapid progress after training at White Jade City, with a faint sense of breakthrough - all showed a fearful look.

"Is Foundation Establishment that difficult?"

"Why was Patriarch Wang's Foundation Establishment different from Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang's?"

For a moment, various questions arose.

The difficulty of Foundation Establishment had already been explained by Lingxiao Sect members, and after further explanation by others, people understood. However, those Divine Travel Realm experts who had high hopes for Foundation Establishment felt heavy-hearted.

As for why Wang Chunfeng's attempt differed from Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang's previous experiences, no one had an answer.

This was also something the Lingxiao Sect members couldn't understand.

"Under normal circumstances, Wang Chunfeng's Foundation Establishment is typical. The situation of Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang attracting a Thunder Tribulation for tempering is rare in the cultivation world; such a tribulation usually only appears during the Nascent Soul stage when challenging the Divinity Transformation stage," said Ye Wuya.

The look in everyone's eyes towards Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang changed a bit.

Could this be the difference between geniuses and mediocrities?

Some also glanced at Qin Yanyang.

When Qin Yanyang established his foundation, he experienced a Thunder Tribulation too, and it was a punishment of nine thunders.

As for Yang Fei.

His situation was also unique.

In the past, at Yunwu Mountain's Base, after being struck by the Thunder Power hosted by Zhuge Cang's Five-star Thousand Mechanism Array, he reached a perfect Foundation Establishment according to his self-realized cultivation method, not only advancing in Realm but his body's defense reached a terrifying level.

However, in order to minimize the impact on Earth when the Hidden Sect Plane collapsed, he was severely injured and nearly died.

At that time, he lost all cultivation.

Later, he regained his body's Physical Body Realm by absorbing a special power element from the world, eventually recovering to perfect condition, but he never went through Thunder Tribulation tempering again.

Yet now, he is undeniably in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his strength is not inferior to the several Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators of the Lingxiao Sect.

In short, those familiar with the Foundation Establishment situations of Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, Helian Zhan, and Wang Chunyang, combined with the descriptions of the cultivation world's true Foundation Establishment by the Lingxiao Sect members, are all left confused and puzzled.

Their Foundation Establishment seemed the most unique.

If Wang Chunfeng's Foundation Establishment had also attracted a Thunder Tribulation, with his failure coming from being unable to withstand it and being struck to death or seriously injured, everyone could accept that.

This would mean that Foundation Establishment does indeed require facing the tempering and challenge of a Thunder Tribulation.

It would also mean that the Tribulation Crossing situation for Earth cultivators is the same.

Yet, Wang Chunfeng's Foundation Establishment did not attract a Thunder Tribulation at all.

So what exactly was going on?

Is Foundation Establishment also tailored, varied based on individuals just like a meal?

Huang Chengcheng said solemnly, feeling low, "If this is the case, then for the rest of us, wanting to establish a foundation is best approached like those in the cultivation world: preparing Foundation Establishment Pills and mind-stabilizing elixirs, making every possible preparation?"

All those who hadn't yet established their foundation felt a heavy heart and wore troubled expressions.

Is cultivation really this difficult?

According to the Lingxiao Sect members, Foundation Establishment Pills are precious cultivation resources, very hard to obtain.

If in the future, everyone needs Foundation Establishment Pills for advancing, many will have to queue up for them.

The most critical issue is that if there are no materials to refine Foundation Establishment Pills on Earth, they would have to search in the Central Great World.

And with the current adversarial relationship between Earth and the Southern Domain Cultivation World, when could anyone expect to travel to the Southern Domain Cultivation World?

Once Foundation Establishment is achieved, one gains a lifespan of three hundred years, and most of the Divine Travel Realm cultivators on Earth are over a hundred years old, with limited remaining lifespan. They urgently need Foundation Establishment breakthroughs to extend their life.

A great pressure and sense of urgency swept over everyone present, causing most cultivators to feel downcast.

No one answered Huang Chengcheng's question.

After a moment, seeing Huang Chengcheng looking towards them, the Lingxiao Sect members exchanged glances. Ye Wuya, as the senior brother, spoke up first, "Perhaps that's the case. However, whether Earth cultivators' Foundation Establishment situation is the same as those in the Central Great World, we'll need Foundation Establishment Pills and someone attempting to establish a foundation to confirm."

Everyone nodded, believing that was indeed the only way to prove how Foundation Establishment can succeed.

"Foundation Establishment Pills!"

Some murmured to themselves.

Yang Fei asked Ye Wuya, "Among Foundation Establishment cultivators, is there anyone who can refine Foundation Establishment Pills?"

Ye Wuya nodded and said, "Of course, there are. As long as one enters the Foundation Establishment Stage and is skilled in alchemy, they can refine Foundation Establishment Pills. But the majority lack talent in alchemy. Even those with some talent need to reach the level of a late-stage Second Rank, or even Third Rank Alchemist, to ensure success in refining Foundation Establishment Pills."

Yang Fei asked, "Among the three major two-star Sects and the three major cultivation families in the Southern Domain, are there any Foundation Establishment cultivators capable of refining Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"There are a few, but they are key figures protected by their respective Sects. Tasks like exploring new worlds, with relative danger, won't have them dispatched by their Sects," Ye Wuya replied.

"Yes, alchemists and artifact refiners are very popular in the cultivation world and are emphasized and protected by major Sects and families. In the same realm, their status is the highest."

Yang Fei looked at Ye Wuya, "Then according to this, it's best to wait for someone on Earth to step into the Foundation Establishment Stage and try refining Foundation Establishment Pills to see if it's possible?"

Everyone looked at Yang Fei, deep in thought.
