Xu Mo calmed his mind, his spiritual power completely immersed within his body.
It was dim and gloomy here, the place where his Dao foundation resided. Only his spiritual power could penetrate and examine it.
Xu Mo's spiritual power condensed into a small figure resembling himself, standing in this dim space.
"Is this the 'cave-heaven' formed within my body?" Xu Mo was quite surprised, looking at this space.
This space had formed alongside his Dao foundation.
He guessed that other Saints should also possess such a space.
After looking around and finding no anomalies, he turned his gaze to the center, where the Dao foundation remained in a chaotic hue.
The Dao foundation was conspicuous in this space, standing in the center like a high platform, about the size of a basketball court and three zhang tall.
However, Xu Mo's current Dao foundation was very unstable, sometimes solidifying and sometimes dissipating into mist, repeating this cycle.
Xu Mo observed for a long time and found that each time it dissipated, the subsequent solidification became more complete, and the dissipation time also increased.
"This should be the process of reshaping the Dao foundation. I just don't know how many cycles it will take?" Xu Mo murmured to himself.
Next, the small figure of Xu Mo, condensed from spiritual power, began to attempt to approach the Dao foundation.
He walked very slowly, fearing unexpected events, but when he reached the Dao foundation, he found it to be surprisingly smooth, with no sudden incidents.
Xu Mo reached out and touched the chaotic Dao foundation. Upon sensing the aura it emitted, his expression drastically changed!
"This... this aura, it's so similar to the Chaos Furnace!?" he exclaimed.
The Chaos Furnace contained Chaos Fire, which could refine all things into cultivation.
Xu Mo was extremely familiar with the aura of Chaos Fire, often using it to slowly simmer the message in a bottle.
He could be sure that the aura of the mist when the Dao foundation dissipated had at least seventy percent similarity to Chaos Fire!
Was this a coincidence?
Or was he influenced by his constant use of the Chaos Furnace?
Xu Mo couldn't figure it out, but after careful investigation, he found no issues with the Dao foundation and finally felt at ease.
"If this Dao foundation was truly formed by Chaos Fire, how terrifying would that be?"
The Chaos Furnace was incredibly powerful, capable of withstanding the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder without budging, and even blocking the gaze of the cosmic will. Its various attributes were simply off the charts.
But Xu Mo had a suspicion that the Chaos Furnace was merely a furnace, and the true power lay in the Chaos Fire it contained.
After all, his cultivation was all derived from the Chaos Fire refining heavenly treasures.
If his thoughts were correct, then this Dao foundation formed by the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder would be incredibly formidable!
After continuously observing the Dao foundation solidify and dissipate a few more times, Xu Mo withdrew his spiritual power.
He also named this Dao foundation, calling it the Boundless Dao Foundation!
Those who survived the Seven Tribulations Heavenly Thunder had flawless Dao foundations, and those who survived the Eight Tribulations Heavenly Thunder had supreme Dao foundations.
He had survived the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder, so naming it the Boundless Dao Foundation was not excessive, right?
Xu Mo reasoned that since there were no records of Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder, and his Dao foundation was unprecedented, he would name it himself.
As his spiritual power returned, Xu Mo opened his eyes and saw Bai Yue standing straight in front of him, her posture erect, gazing at him.
"Why are you staring at me? Did your Dao foundation successfully fuse?" Xu Mo stood up and then noticed an empty bowl on the nearby table.
There were still some residues of soup at the bottom of the bowl, which he immediately recognized as Spirit Calming Soup.
"You drank my Spirit Calming Soup?" Xu Mo's eyelids twitched. This was ordered by Gongsun Rou from the Immortal Cuisine Hall to replenish his spirit, but now he hadn't drunk it, and Bai Yue had consumed it all?
Bai Yue nodded lightly, "Yes, your cook's skills are good, but there was too much ice sea cucumber, making it too cooling to drink, it numbed my mouth."
"Nonsense, this is for me to drink. I am of a Yang body, with excess Yang and deficient Yin, so naturally, I should drink something cooling."
Xu Mo couldn't be bothered to argue with Bai Yue over a bowl of Spirit Calming Soup and instructed a palace maid to have the Immortal Cuisine Hall prepare another one.
"Wait, I want some too. This time, use less ice sea cucumber," Bai Yue said.
The palace maid hesitated and looked towards His Majesty.
Xu Mo nodded at her, and the palace maid then withdrew to head to the Immortal Cuisine Hall.
"You're really not being polite. Do you know how precious ice sea cucumber is?" Xu Mo looked at Bai Yue.
Bai Yue was forthright, stating that the Spirit Calming Soup had a nourishing effect on spiritual power and was a good thing. She was never polite when it came to items that could enhance cultivation.
"Alright, let's not talk about this Spirit Calming Soup. Let's discuss the Crossing Tribulation."
Xu Mo looked at Bai Yue and said, "The Crossing Tribulation is about to begin. The Old Demon Emperor has allied with me. What are your thoughts?"
"Can I go alone?"
"No, there are only three Saints in the Great Wilderness. Without you, it means losing one-third of our strength. Besides, if you go alone, the danger will increase significantly," Xu Mo said very seriously.
Bai Yue looked at Xu Mo. Although she was reluctant to cooperate with the person who had taken her Dao foundation, she had to admit that what Xu Mo said was the truth. The danger of going alone in the Crossing Tribulation was almost the highest!
And allying with Saints from other worlds was simply unrealistic. Would other Saints trust you?
Finally, Bai Yue nodded, "I will join you in the Crossing Tribulation."
Xu Mo smiled, "That's more like it."
Then, Xu Mo summoned the message in a bottle and handed the Crossing Tribulation token to Bai Yue.
Upon receiving the Crossing Tribulation token and seeing the messenger in the form of a bottle, Bai Yue instantly learned a lot of information.
When she came back to her senses, her first action was not to ask about the Crossing Tribulation, but to glance at Xu Mo and calmly say, "If I hadn't agreed to ally with you, would you have refused to let the Crossing Tribulation messenger give me the token?"
Xu Mo smiled, not answering.
Bai Yue's expression turned displeased, and she turned to leave directly, not even waiting for the Spirit Calming Soup.
Xu Mo was somewhat surprised by Bai Yue's action, never expecting a cultivator to throw a tantrum, which was truly unprecedented.
However, what Bai Yue said was correct. If she had refused to ally, Xu Mo would indeed not have let the message in a bottle give the Crossing Tribulation token to Bai Yue.
Who knew if she would turn into an enemy after entering Earth?
Bai Yue possessed extraordinary talent and her own supreme Dao foundation, making her a peerless genius among millions.
A monstrous talent of this caliber would become a threat once she matured.
Therefore, Xu Mo's caution was normal.
"By the way, besides you, have any other Crossing Tribulation messengers entered the Great Wilderness?" Xu Mo remembered something and looked at the message in a bottle.
The message in a bottle replied, "Currently, it's just this bottle. The premature arrival of the Great Wilderness is highly abnormal, so I came to investigate the situation."
Then it was captured and became a prisoner.
