Foundation Establishment At A Hundred Years Old, Starting With Max Level Comprehension

Ji Haoyuan transmigrated into a cultivation world and was found to have a Two Spirit Root, making him the hope of the Ji family. All cultivation resources were supplied to him preferentially. At ten he drew qi into his body, by thirty he reached the peak of Qi Refining. At forty he used the Foundation Establishment Pill acquired by the family at great cost to attempt Foundation Establishment, but failed. Ten years later, after the Ji family exhausted nearly half its resources for a second Foundation Establishment Pill, he failed again. This second failure occurred when Ancestor Ji Bochang was severely injured and his lifespan was cut short, leaving the family without a backup. The Ji family’s situation in Nanning County deteriorated. Their spirit vein was sold to the Zhang family, and the family began secretly sending disciples down the mountain to survive as rogue cultivators. Ji Haoyuan, now one hundred years old, had spent fifty years working to repay his debt to the family. On the night of his hundredth birthday, he decided to make one last desperate gamble on Foundation Establishment, knowing his aged vitality made the chance nearly zero. At midnight, he heard a voice: one-hundred-year achievement reached, unique talent drawn—Max Level Comprehension. His consciousness was elevated, and he instantly saw the flaw in his cultivation method. The Blazing Fire True Art was missing a crucial spiritual item called a Water Splendor Crystal to neutralize the violent mana, which had caused his previous failures. No one in the Ji family had discovered this flaw. Ji Haoyuan entered an enlightenment state and spent ten days revising the cultivation method, making it perfectly suitable for his own foundation establishment, with a success rate of 99.9999%. He then went to the Family Treasury and asked his elder brother Ji Haochuan for a Water Splendor Crystal and pills to replenish mana and boost vitality. Ji Haochuan was reluctant but eventually agreed after Ji Haoyuan insisted it was his last wish. Ji Haoyuan entered death seclusion in a cultivation chamber, fully activating the sealing formation. This was discovered a month later by clan elders, who informed Ancestor Ji Bochang. Ji Bochang, knowing that Ji Haoyuan at age one hundred without a Foundation Establishment Pill had virtually no chance, accepted it with sorrow. He instructed Clan Leader Ji Yunfan to prepare for the family’s inevitable decline, advising him to decisively abandon some assets and disciples to preserve a spark. Ji Yunfan understood the cruel reality. Months later, a sudden surge of mana fluctuation came from the cultivation chamber. Ji Haoyuan was successfully breaking through to Foundation Establishment. Not only that, but his spiritual sense extended to ten li, then twelve li, eventually reaching twenty li, comparable to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. His mana was also far richer than normal. This indicated that his breakthrough was extraordinary. Ji Bochang, Ji Yunfan, and Ji Haochuan were overjoyed. Ji Bochang declared that Ji Haoyuan’s perseverance and dao heart were unmatched. Ji Haoyuan emerged from seclusion looking like a man in his thirties. After accepting congratulations from the clansmen, he knelt before Ancestor Ji Bochang and kowtowed three times. Ji Haoyuan’s successful Foundation Establishment at the age of one hundred saved the Ji family from imminent collapse, reversing its decline and restoring its standing as a Foundation Establishment family.
