Chapter 3680: Earth Core Completed!

Lin Mu was not only absorbing a single element at a time now.

Multiple streams of energy flowed into him simultaneously, each requiring proper guidance and balance. Too much of one element could disrupt the harmony of his internal system, and even a slight imbalance could create instability within his cores.

It was not his first time handling multiple elements, but the scale at which he was doing it now was unprecedented.

In a way, he had placed himself in a position that few cultivators would ever experience. The sheer amount of resources at his disposal was overwhelming. The wealth he was consuming with each passing day could sustain entire kingdoms for years. What he treated as fuel for cultivation would be considered priceless treasure anywhere else.

Yet for Lin Mu, it was simply a means to an end.

Time passed without interruption.

Days blurred into weeks, and weeks into months.

A full month slipped by before Lin Mu had completely exhausted the lower quality materials and reached the midpoint of what had been provided to him. By then, the progress within his cores had already become noticeable. The flow of energy inside his body was smoother, more refined, and far more stable than before.

He transitioned into the mid tier materials without hesitation.

This stage was slower.

The density of energy within these materials required greater effort to break down. Each piece resisted the pull of his technique, forcing him to apply more control and patience. The energy released was stronger, more vibrant, and at times even turbulent. Lin Mu had to maintain constant focus to ensure that everything remained balanced.

Two months passed in this phase alone.

By the time he finally reached the higher tier materials, a total of three months had gone by since he had begun this stage of cultivation.

The changes within him were substantial.

His Earth core had reached eighty five percent completion, its presence within his spleen heavy and stable. The Fire core had advanced to eighty one percent, its flames controlled and refined as it spun in his heart. The Metal core had climbed to eighty three percent, its structure sharp and resilient, standing firm between his lungs.

The remaining cores had only seen minimal improvement, rising by one or two percent at most. There were simply no materials rich enough in those elements to support further growth at this stage. What remained before him now were primarily resources aligned with earth, fire, and metal.

Lin Mu adjusted his approach.

Rather than continuing to divide his focus across multiple cores, he decided to concentrate on one at a time. Stabilizing a single core completely would provide a stronger foundation, making it easier to handle the others later.

He chose the Earth core first.

There was a reason for this choice. Among all his elements, earth represented stability and endurance. Completing it would strengthen his body and provide a solid base for the rest of his cultivation.

The high tier earth materials were brought forward.

These were not ordinary resources. Each piece radiated a deep, profound energy that seemed to resonate with the very concept of solidity and permanence. Lin Mu approached them with caution, activating his technique slowly and allowing the energy to flow into him in controlled streams.

This phase demanded absolute focus.

The energy was heavy, dense, and resistant. It did not yield easily, and when it did, it surged with a force that needed to be carefully tempered. Lin Mu guided it into his Earth core, refining it layer by layer, strengthening the core with each successful absorption.

Another month passed.

The number climbed steadily.

Eighty six percent.

Eighty eight percent.

Ninety percent.

Ninety five percent.

Ninety nine percent.

At that point, Lin Mu could feel it clearly.

The Earth core within his spleen pulsed with an intense eagerness, as if it were on the verge of breaking through its current state. It throbbed with a heavy rhythm, each pulse sending waves of earth energy through his body.

Yet Lin Mu did not rush.

He knew that the final step was the most important.

He opened the last remaining container of earth aligned materials.

Inside were only a few items.

A single chunk of rock, unremarkable in appearance but radiating a deep, ancient energy.

A white crystal, smooth and faintly glowing, carrying a purity that stood apart from everything else.

And three clumps of clay, simple in form yet dense with an energy that seemed almost alive.

They appeared ordinary at first glance, but Lin Mu could sense their true nature.

These were the strongest materials among all that he had used.

He began the final absorption.

The Omnicore Ascendancy Technique activated once more, drawing the materials into the vortex around him. Unlike before, this process was slow and deliberate. The materials resisted strongly, their structure holding firm even as the technique worked to break them down.

Bit by bit, they yielded.

Energy flowed into him in dense, concentrated streams.

He guided it carefully, ensuring that every trace was refined before merging with his Earth core.

The process continued through the day.

And into the night.

By the next day, the materials were gone.

At that exact moment, something changed.

The Earth core reached completion.

It transformed.

The rough, developing structure condensed into a perfectly smooth brown marble. It rotated steadily within his spleen, its surface flawless and its presence profound. With each rotation, it released waves of pure earth energy that spread throughout his body.

Lin Mu felt it immediately.

His spleen strengthened, becoming more resilient and stable. His blood grew denser, richer, carrying a vitality that was deeper than before. At the same time, his bones began to change, becoming heavier, stronger, as if they had been reinforced from within.

The transformation was not sudden, but it was undeniable.

Lin Mu opened his eyes slowly.

A faint breath escaped him as he took in the sensation.

The Earth core was complete.

And with it, a new level of stability had taken root within him.
