Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 307: Chapter 55: Core Formation!

Before going to the lake bottom cultivation room,

Zhou Xun activated all the arrays of Wangchuan Lake.

Then, after arranging everything with Song Yiqing,

Zhou Xun and his incarnation went to the lake bottom cultivation room.

At this moment, in the cultivation room, strands of spiritual qi were almost tangible, condensed to the extreme, almost accumulating into drops, dripping down from the air.

It was dream-like, as if in an immortal realm.

This was the result of Zhou Xun utilizing the spiritual qi mobilization capability of the Vajra Five Elements Array, gathering all the spiritual qi of the entire spirit vein at the lake bottom into the cultivation room, resulting in this effect.

The spirit vein was originally at the tier three top-grade level, and now after re-gathering of spiritual qi, Zhou Xun speculated that the concentration of spiritual qi might even reach tier four.

Such concentration of spiritual qi could already sustain the daily cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Zhou Xun’s incarnation took out a cushion and sat down cross-legged.

Then he took out a quasi-third tier calming incense and lit it.

This quasi-third tier calming incense was a spoil from a Celestial Feather Sect Fake Pill cultivator, and Zhou Xun only had one stick.

Calming incense above quasi-third tier also has the effect of reducing the risk of heart demons, making it an excellent auxiliary item for breakthroughs.

It was because of breaking through to Core Formation at this moment that even Zhou Xun would use it.

After that, Zhou Xun’s main body immediately sat cross-legged outside the cultivation room, protecting the incarnation’s core formation.

Smelling the faint scent of sandalwood at the tip of his nose, Zhou Xun’s mind quickly calmed down.

Then he began to meditate, adjusting his state, bringing the essence, qi, and spirit to the peak.

At the same time, in his mind, he began simulating the entire process of core formation.

Over the past several years, the incarnation had been researching core formation.

Until today,

he was thoroughly familiar with every step of core formation, the possible issues during the process, and their corresponding solutions.

After confirming that everything was fine, Zhou Xun opened his eyes, a faint arc of lightning flashed in his pupils, like the Nine Heavens Thunder Venerable.

At this moment, Zhou Xun felt that his divine sense, mana, and state were all at their peak!

So he no longer hesitated.

He began to operate the fourth level of the ”Purple Sky Thunder Technique”.

The first three levels of the Purple Sky Thunder Technique differ from the current nine-layer Foundation Establishment techniques that are passed down.

Instead, they divide the Foundation Establishment stage into initial, middle, and final levels.

This is also the method of classification of Foundation Establishment techniques from ancient times.

The mnemonic of the fourth level flows through the heart like clear spring water, he had already comprehended this level of the technique countless times, and each key point was thoroughly familiar to him.

...

Immediately, Zhou Xun lightly tapped the storage bag, taking out an exquisite jade box.

Inside it contained the best treasure for breaking through to Core Formation—the Crystal Condensing Pill.

With a wave of his finger, the sealing spirit talisman on the jade box automatically fell off, and the lid opened by itself.

Instantly, an astonishing medicinal fragrance permeated the entire cultivation room.

As Zhou Xun sniffed, mana surged in his dantian, and a violent sense of breakthrough emerged, at the same time, even his divine sense seemed to grow slightly.

Zhou Xun gently pinched the precious spirit pill with two fingers and swallowed it without hesitation.

As the elixir entered his stomach, a surge of medicinal power rose.

A strange energy spread along the meridians, wrapping around all his meridians.

At the same time, upon contact with this energy, Zhou Xun’s divine sense instantly grew by several degrees.

This was the power of the Crystal Condensing Pill.

It could temporarily enhance the user’s physical qi and blood, meridian resilience, and divine sense intensity.

Sensing this energy spread throughout his body, Zhou Xun knew it was time to break through.

”Yin Generating Yang Thunder...Purple Sky Golden Core!”

Reciting the spell in his heart, both hands sealed, arcs of lightning danced at his fingertips.

The core formation process is similar to Foundation Establishment, also involving the three barriers of qi and blood, mana, and divine sense!

Zhou Xun’s incarnation underwent thunder forging body, his physical body was not inferior to the typical tier two peak demon beast.

Coupled with the enhancement of the Crystal Condensing Pill,

his physical qi and blood were naturally ample, allowing Zhou Xun to quickly pass through this barrier.

Next was the crucial mana barrier.

As Zhou Xun operated the spell, the rate at which he absorbed external spiritual qi abruptly increased.

A large amount of spiritual qi began to seep into the meridians along Zhou Xun’s body surface, then converted into mana according to the operation path of the ”Purple Sky Thunder Technique”, blending into the liquid mana drops in the dantian.

As these mana entered, it was like boiling water added to hot oil.

A hundred and ninety drops of liquid mana in the dantian reacted intensely in an instant.

Suddenly, all the liquid mana began to slowly rotate in the dantian, and as time passed, it spun faster and faster.

Zhou Xun felt the dantian churning, then began to fluctuate violently, creating waves at the same time,

streaks of lightning self-generated in the dantian, overwhelming, turning the entire dantian into a thunder prison.

As the liquid mana in the dantian spun at high speed, Zhou Xun’s rate of absorbing spiritual qi also became faster and faster.

Gradually, a spiritual energy vortex several zhang in size formed above his head, and as time passed, it grew larger.

”Ten zhang!”

”Twenty zhang!”

”Thirty zhang!”

As more spiritual qi was absorbed, Zhou Xun felt as though the mana was about to burst the entire meridian.

Fortunately, his Body Refining Technique also strengthened the meridians, and with the temporary enhancement of the Crystal Condensing Pill, Zhou Xun was able to sustain it.

At this moment, thunder light flickered all around him, his spiritual pressure was overwhelming.

”The crucial step, condensing liquid into a pill!”

As the massive spiritual qi was refined into mana, pouring into the liquid mana drops in the dantian.

Those liquid mana grew larger, almost coming together, all one hundred and ninety drops condensed into one.

And this process continued.

Until the dantian could no longer hold it, and then with the divine sense, large amounts of liquid mana were controlled to compress towards the center of the dantian.

Until finally becoming a solid pill substance.

This step requires extremely high demands on the quality and strength of mana, the external spiritual qi, the cultivator’s physical qi and blood, meridian toughness, and divine sense.

Only when everything reaches the top-grade does one have a slightest chance to congeal the legendary Immortal Golden Core.

At the same time, the entire spiritual energy vortex had already spread to a thousand zhang, gradually beginning to affect the Wangchuan Lake on the ground.

The spiritual qi of the entire Wangchuan Lake area, influenced by Zhou Xun, also began to gather.

Such a phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of all the cultivators at Wangchuan Lake.

Zhou Jingsong’s family was currently living in a certain cave mansion on Lake Heart Island.

Sensing the spiritual qi fluctuation outside, they hurried out to check.

Seeing the spiritual qi within a dozen-mile range seemed attracted by something, starting to gather towards one location.

”This is the Core Formation celestial phenomenon!”

”Master has really formed a core!”

Despite Zhou Xun’s personal confirmation, Zhou Jingsong still harbored a trace of doubt and disbelief in his heart.

After all, Zhou Xun was not yet seventy years old.

Plus, he had a middle-grade spirit root, how could it be possible for him to form a core so quickly.

Even with a celestial spirit root, only a small handful of people close to the extreme could achieve this.

However, seeing this phenomenon, there was nothing in his heart but admiration.

”Is Master going to succeed!” Shi Wanying exclaimed excitedly.

”Master Ancestor is really going to form a core!” Zhou Qiuyue also cheered.
