For five hundred years, I have been bound in this forbidden land, and yet here you are, dear Independent Cultivator, shedding tears for what reason?

Summary

The chapter discusses the construction of the Foundation Establishment Platform, which typically requires the absorption of various heavenly materials and treasures. This process often leads to the loss of the materials' original essence. Gu Xiu, however, contemplates using his forging techniques to create the Platform, potentially preserving the materials' potency. He possesses the Divine Record of Tool Forging, which outlines a unique method of refining tools. Gu Xiu experiments with this technique, successfully gathering the primal power of materials and absorbing it into his dantian's qi sea. As he continues, he transforms an immortal stone into a powerful Five Elements Immortal Chessboard, completing the third layer of his Foundation Building Dao Platform. This event triggers chaos across the realms, as celestial gates flicker ominously, signaling a potential conflict with immortals from the upper realm. Powerful beings sense the disturbance, leading to a sense of impending strife. Shi Si Ling observes the chaos, feeling small in the face of it, while a figure in the Qing Xuan holy land seeks Gu Xiu's whereabouts.
