When Liu Yan heard this, he couldn’t help but feel shocked.

He didn’t think creating a perfect foundation would require so many top-tier treasures, not to mention a tremendous amount of energy. It was troublesome to complete the step.

Not long after, Liu Yan followed Principal Zhong Yuntian to the depths.

A seven to eight meters tall cauldron stood there.

The material of the cauldron was unknown, but it was extremely strange.

The cauldron connected to many pipes that carried energy. At the end of these pipes was the core origin stone.

At this moment, a huge amount of energy was continuously being pumped into the cauldron.

Beside the cauldron, an old man stood by the side. It was Wu Hua.

When Liu Yan saw Wu Hua, he was slightly surprised. Back in the Eastern Medicine Garden, Wu Hua had been of great help to Liu Yan.

Later, when Liu Yan wanted to go to Wu Hua to thank him, he couldn’t find him at all, which made Liu Yan feel regretful.

“Wu Hua? You are actually here.” Liu Yan said with some joy and surprise.

Wu Hua also looked at Liu Yan with a gratified face. He smiled and nodded slightly, “No need to say more. Hurry up and prepare. Enter the cauldron and start to build your perfect foundation.”

Principal Zhong Yuntian, who was behind him, also explained, “Helping you build your perfect foundation requires Wu Hua’s help. I can’t do it alone.”

When Liu Yan heard this, he immediately understood everything. It turned out that meeting Wu Hua at the beginning was not lucky. Principal Zhong’s instructed Wu Hua to help Liu Yan.

Liu Yan’s heart was immediately filled with gratitude towards Wu Hua and Principal Zhong Yuntian.

Liu Yan was surprised to know that Principal Zhong Yuntian couldn’t help him complete his perfect foundation alone. Principal Zhong Yuntian even needed Wu Hua’s help. It seemed that building the perfect foundation this time was indeed extraordinary. Even with Principal Zhong’s powerful strength, he still needed Wu Hua’s help.

“Remember.” Wu Hua’s face was slightly serious as he instructed, “The establishment of the perfect foundation is divided into two steps. The first step is to destroy your physical body. The second step is to reconstruct your physical body and establish the perfect foundation. If you don’t destroy your physical body, you won’t be able to build it again. You have to break it before you can rebuild it again. During the first step, it will also bring you excruciating pain. Extreme pain is not something that ordinary people can endure. However, you must persevere and not lose consciousness. Otherwise, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, and you won’t be able to build a perfect foundation, but your life will also be in danger. Even if you survive, your strength and foundation will be greatly damaged. Remember, you must not fall unconscious during the first step. You can only pass out when the second step of rebuilding your body isn’t painful. Do you understand?”

Liu Yan immediately understood the importance of this matter. If he passed out during the process of destroying his body, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This matter was of great importance. No matter how painful it was, Liu Yan had to persevere. This time, he had to put his willpower to a harsh test to build a perfect foundation.

“There’s nothing else. We believe that you can do it. When you’re ready, go ahead.” Principal Zhong Yuntian smiled with a relaxed expression.

Liu Yan had long since made preparations. These few days, he had already adjusted his physical and mental state to their best.

Liu Yan nodded and walked directly to the entrance of the huge cauldron.

The moment he entered the cauldron, Liu Yan felt an incomparable heat.

Fortunately, Liu Yan had previously grasped the A-grade skill, Flame Control, so his resistance to the fire attribute had increased quite a bit. At this moment, Liu Yan could barely endure the heat.

Otherwise, Liu Yan would probably not be able to endure it at the first moment.

After entering the cauldron, Liu Yan followed the previous principal’s instructions and directly lay down. He closed his eyes, collected his mind, and maintained his consciousness, quietly waiting for the start of forging a perfect foundation.

After Liu Yan entered the cauldron, Principal Zhong Yuntian, who had a relaxed expression just a moment ago, immediately became serious. He was worried.

“Creating a perfect foundation requires an extremely high level of willpower. I believe in Liu Yan’s talent. However, this test is extremely difficult. I don’t know if Liu Yan will be able to persevere.” Principal Zhong Yuntian said with some worry.

Zhong Yuntian was extremely clear about the difficulties in building a perfect foundation.

Building a perfect foundation was almost an impossible thing. It could be said to be filled with difficulties.

In addition, the process of searching for the five great treasures was extremely difficult. This cauldron was also an extraordinary item. Furthermore, it required an extremely terrifying amount of energy to create a perfect foundation.

Other than that, there was also the requirement for Liu Yan’s willpower. The test was extremely difficult.

If Liu Yan couldn’t persevere, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only would he be unable to increase his talent, but it would also damage his original talent and strength. There was even a high possibility that Liu Yan would lose his life.

This time, building a perfect foundation was extremely risky but with great reward. If Liu Yan succeeded, he would receive a great gift, but if he failed, he would no longer be the once-in-a-century monstrous genius.

Zhong Yuntian helped Liu Yan to create a perfect foundation this time because he wanted to help Liu Yan. In fact, he also had his own selfish motives. Zhong Yuntian wanted to help Liu Yan to build a perfect foundation so that Liu Yan could grow into a top-notch expert that mankind had never seen before. Zhong Yuntian wanted to completely change the situation of the human race on the Blue Planet and lead the human race out of their predicament.

When Wu Hua saw Zhong Yuntian’s worries, he smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, old friend. I have been together with Liu Yan for a month. I think I know him quite well. I believe that he will be able to persevere through this. You don’t have to worry at all.”

When Zhong Yuntian heard Wu Hua’s words, he was slightly relieved. Wu Hua had a high evaluation of Liu Yan’s willpower, so Liu Yan would succeed.

Moreover, it was meaningless to worry too much at this time. Zhong Yuntian just had to do his best to help Liu Yan. As for the result, he could only leave it to Liu Yan to decide.

Immediately after, Wu Hua and Zhong Yuntian operated the cauldron and helped Liu Yan start to build a perfect foundation.

Wu Hua controlled the cauldron, while Principal Zhong Yuntian gave him support.

Inside the cauldron.

Liu Yan had just gradually adapted to the surrounding heat when he suddenly felt the sound of the cauldron operating.

Immediately, terrifying energy pressed on Liu Yan’s body, trying to crush Liu Yan.

Liu Yan remembered the instructions of the principal. He could not use his cultivation and could not use any skill to resist. He could only use his physical body to resist.

Even if he could not hold on anymore, he still had to resist. Only when his physical body was completely destroyed would he be able to build a perfect foundation.

Under the terrifying energy, Liu Yan’s powerful physical body did not last long.

Not long after, Liu Yan felt his physical body begin to split, and blood flowed everywhere.

What followed was a piercing pain throughout his entire body.

In that instant of intense pain, Liu Yan almost fainted.
