Chapter 108: As Long as the Mind Doesn’t Collapse, Foundation Establishment Is Easy to Discuss

Early the next morning, a “Group’s Highest Directive” personally signed by Chu Feng was transmitted through the identity jade plates to every “Family Member” of the Ascension Group.

“Attention, all Family Members! In fifteen minutes, a Group Strategic Upgrade Mobilization Conference will be held at the Main Peak Plaza. No one is allowed to be absent! I repeat, no one is allowed to be absent!”

The moment the message spread, the entire Qingyun Sect exploded in commotion.

“Strategic Upgrade Mobilization Conference? What kind of name is that?”

“No idea! But judging by the tone, it must be something huge!”

“Of course! Didn’t you feel it? The spiritual energy in the Sect is so dense now it’s practically dripping! Last night when I was meditating, my cultivation speed increased by a whole thirty percent!”

“Only thirty percent? My bottleneck at Qi Refining Sixth Level is loosening! This is all thanks to our ‘No.1 Power Bank’!”

Countless disciples buzzed with excitement, their faces glowing with genuine joy and anticipation as they surged from their respective cave dwellings, workshops, and mining zones toward the Main Peak Plaza like a tide.

At present, the cohesion of the Ascension Group had reached an unprecedented level.

Every “pie” Chu Feng had once drawn eventually became a sweet, tangible “truth,” making his prestige soar to an all-time high.

Fifteen minutes later, the Main Peak Plaza was packed with a sea of people.

Tens of thousands of disciples, dressed in standardized group uniforms, stood neatly in formation according to their departments and halls, silent and disciplined.

The overwhelming momentum made the visiting Sect Masters from external sects—who had come to discuss “franchise cooperation”—tremble inwardly.

This was no longer a mere cultivation sect. This was clearly an iron-blooded, high-morale army!

Chu Feng’s figure appeared atop the high platform.

He was still clad in his simple white robe, yet standing there—with tens of thousands of fervent gazes behind him and the booming Group beneath his feet—he radiated an indescribable aura of leadership.

“Family Members!”

Chu Feng’s voice, carried by the amplifying conch horn, resounded clearly across every corner of the plaza.

“Today, I stand here with great excitement!”

“Because just yesterday, our Group conquered a core technological barrier and successfully achieved ‘Energy Independence’! Do you know what this means?”

He paused, sweeping his gaze across the crowd before raising his voice.

“It means that our Ascension Group will completely bid farewell to the age of infighting over a few inferior spirit stones or subpar pills!”

“From this day forth, we are entering a brand-new era! An era of common prosperity and mutual success!”

Below the stage, countless disciples’ breathing grew heavy, their eyes burning with the fire of desire.

“Therefore, after deliberation by the Group Board of Directors,” Chu Feng raised his arm high, his voice exploding like thunder, “I announce that the ‘Ascension Group All-Employee Foundation Establishment Sprint Plan’—officially begins now!”

Boom——!

Those few words detonated in everyone’s minds like a spirit stone bomb of a billion tons’ magnitude!

All employees… Foundation Establishment?!

Silence!

Then, a volcanic eruption of cheers!

“Did I hear that right? The President said—All Employees Foundation Establishment?!”

“Heavens! Foundation Establishment! That’s a realm I didn’t even dare to dream of!”

“Wuwuwu… I’ve been stuck at Qi Refining Great Perfection for thirty years! Thirty years! I finally see hope!”

The plaza completely boiled over. Countless disciples wept with joy, raising their arms and shouting Chu Feng’s name until the heavens trembled.

“Silence!”

Chu Feng pressed his hands downward. A formless pressure spread out, and the roar of excitement gradually subsided.

“I know you’re all excited. But opportunities only favor those who are prepared!”

“To establish your Foundation relying solely on resources is like building castles on sand—the foundation won’t hold! Our disciples of the Ascension Group must build a supreme Dao Foundation that surpasses all predecessors!”

“Therefore, to support this sprint plan, our Chief Product Officer, Leng Yanran, and her team have worked tirelessly, day and night, to develop a revolutionary strategic-grade new product for everyone!”

Chu Feng turned sideways, making a “please welcome” gesture.

A white-robed, silver-haired Leng Yanran walked gracefully onto the high platform, holding an exquisite jade box.

She was still as cold as the moon, but beneath that cool exterior was a new, radiant spirit.

She stepped forward and opened the jade box.

Inside lay a pill of pure crimson hue, its surface flowing with molten patterns, emanating an intense and pure fire-type spiritual energy.

A domineering medicinal fragrance instantly spread throughout the plaza.

All disciples who inhaled it felt their spiritual power boil uncontrollably, an overwhelming urge to fight—to tear everything apart—surging within them.

“This pill is called the ‘Foundation Establishment Pill · Striver Edition.’”

Leng Yanran’s voice was cool and professional, echoing clearly across the plaza.

“It uses the original fire-type spiritual energy of the Spirit Source Core No.1 as the main material, combined with 360 rare medicinal herbs, refined through forty-nine tempering procedures.”

“Its efficacy is over three times stronger than that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills! It can maximally stimulate a cultivator’s potential, break through the Qi Refining barrier, and condense a supreme Dao Foundation!”

“Most importantly,” Leng Yanran paused, then dropped a bombshell, “its cost is only one-tenth that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill!”

Whoosh——!

The entire plaza erupted once again!

A cost one-tenth of the usual, yet triple the potency! This… this was defying the heavens!

“Of course,” Leng Yanran continued, her tone shifting as the crowd cheered wildly, “every revolutionary product comes with its own unique ‘user threshold.’”

“This pill’s medicinal power is extremely domineering. It contains a trace of Spirit Source True Lord’s indomitable ‘Battle Will.’ During breakthrough, this will impacts the Dao Heart. Those of weak will may suffer deviation, while those who endure will find their hearts strengthened—sharper, more resilient, and bolder in combat.”

Her explanation was neutral and factual, but to the disciples below, it sounded nothing like a drawback—it was a super buff!

Cultivators fought against Heaven, Earth, and Man. Without the will to fight, how could one talk about immortality?

“Well said!” Chu Feng picked up the momentum right on cue, beginning his “concept packaging.”

“Family Members! The ‘Battle Will’ Chief Leng mentioned—what is it? To me, it’s not danger—it’s spirit! The very spirit our Ascension Group needs most—‘Wolf Spirit!’”

“What is Wolf Spirit? It means daring to bare your fangs in the face of adversity! To fight your enemies until the end! To charge forward toward your goal with everything you’ve got!”

“If you can’t even handle this level of challenge, how can you talk about Foundation Establishment? About immortality? You might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes!”

“I declare: from today onward, those wishing to exchange for the ‘Striver Edition’ Foundation Establishment Pill must not only have sufficient Contribution Points but must also pass a ‘Wolf Spirit Test’!”

“Only those truly ambitious, courageous, and fearless Family Members will earn the qualification to become our Group’s first soaring eagles!”

His words ignited the crowd once more. Every disciple’s chest puffed up, their eyes shining with a predatory gleam.

Danger? Qi deviation?

Before the temptation of instant ascension, none of that mattered!

As long as the mind didn’t collapse, Foundation Establishment was easy to discuss!

“Now!” Chu Feng’s gaze swept across the front rows, where the core executives sat.

“I order—Chief Security Officer Zhang Daniu, Chief Operations Officer Wu Hao, Market Division One Director Wang Teng… and all department heads, step forward immediately!”

Zhang Daniu and the others straightened at once, stepping forward in unison.

“You, as the foundation of the Group, will become the first batch of ‘Strivers’!” Chu Feng waved his hand, sending dozens of jade boxes precisely into their hands.

“You have three days! I don’t care how you do it, but three days from now, I want to see a roster of new Foundation Establishment cultivators among the Group’s executives!”

“Can you do it?!”

“Yes!!!”

Zhang Daniu and the others roared in unison, their voices shaking the skies.

Holding the blazing jade boxes, their eyes burned with unprecedented fire as they turned and strode toward their secluded chambers.

A sweeping wave of breakthroughs across the entire Qingyun Sect was about to begin!
