Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 850 - Core Formation (Part 2)

Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Core Formation (Part 2) Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Core Formation (Part 2) “The Profound Truth of the Tao, Qi returns to its storage, sensing heaven and earth…”

In the Sea of Consciousness of Wang Chen, one True Seal Talisman Script after another quietly revealed itself, circling and fluttering around the silent Ancient Taoist Stele.

And these golden scripts corresponded precisely to the overall spells of the Innate Five Elements Skill!

An endless stream of nature’s spiritual energy poured into Wang Chen from the Apex Aperture at the crown of his head, traveling down the Eight Extra Meridians to reach each organ, before finally gathering in the Qi Sea Dantian.

The false core, originally harbored within the Dantian, was bit by bit eroded and vanished, completely merging with Wang Chen’s Qi Sea.

As the Golden Core was formed, there was no longer any need for the existence of the false core; it became the best nourishment to strengthen and expand the Qi Sea Dantian.

At the same time, every inch of Wang Chen’s skin, every piece of muscle and bone, was undergoing a process of purification, with impurities being gradually dissolved away.

Although Wang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method had already been cultivated to the seventh level realm, achieving a Golden Body untainted throughout, at the very depths of his blood and marrow, there still lingered a hint of filth and toxins.

This was the result of years of cultivation, which no cultivator could entirely evade.

However, compared to other cultivators at the pinnacle of the Purple Mansion, the filth within his body was far less, almost to the point of being negligible.

But as long as a tiny bit of toxins existed, it would impact the forming Golden Core.

It impacted the quality of the ELixirs.

This was one of the major reasons why the Superior Golden Cores were so rare!

Furthermore, the false core also contained some impurities, which likewise needed to be refined.

With immense patience and perseverance, Wang Chen repeatedly utilized spiritual energy to cleanse and refine, until the false core in the Dantian was completely gone.

And at this moment, the Qi Sea had expanded to its limit.

One more step, and it would burst!

Wang Chen’s eyes snapped open, and he took a deep breath.

Under his control, a massive amount of mana began to gather and condense, gradually forming a high-density ball of Qi.

Because Wang Chen’s mana had been cultivated to the utmost purity of the Purple Mansion, the compressed Qi ball was the size of a fist, presenting itself in a solid, liquid state!

At this step, the force required to continue compression was already several times what it had been before.

Even ten times!

Wang Chen was well aware the real test had come.

He embraced the Origin and Guarded the Unity, his Qi softening and concentrating in an instant, entering the state of forgetting both the self and the object, relying solely on a pure and genuine Dao Heart to achieve the final breakthrough.

It was unknown how much time had passed when numerous images suddenly emerged in Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

These were memories from his past and current lives, strikingly vivid and as if experienced once more in person.

Those that were painful, joyous, loving, hateful, tearful, bitter…

A myriad of emotions welled up in his heart, like the furious waves of the ocean washing over Wang Chen’s defenses.

However, having endured the tempering of Dao Heart in the Foggy Mountain Realm and the test of will returning to Haotian, Wang Chen’s Dao Heart was as steady as a rock, unwavering in the slightest.

These memories appeared and then vanished, fading into nothingness and sinking to the bottom of the Sea of Consciousness.

Free from these intense interferences, Wang Chen’s consciousness returned to himself, and upon looking inward at his Dantian, he found that the mana Qi ball had been compressed to the size of a chicken egg and was shining with a golden glow.

Golden Core!

His Golden Core was about to be successfully condensed!

At the last step, Wang Chen became even more cautious, not daring to relax in the slightest.

What he had not anticipated was that at this moment, the Ancient Taoist Stele in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly burst forth with brilliant light, causing the nearly formed Golden Core to become restless and unstable, its Qi intensely fiery and vibrant.

Signs of a demonic deviation during core formation had appeared!

Wang Chen was shockingly alarmed; he had never expected the Ancient Taoist Stele to affect his Core Formation at such a critical moment.

His mind raced, but he could not think of a solution in that instant.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

After all, such a circumstance was unique, and there would be no record of it in any Taoist Scripture he had ever seen!

[Human Virtue Points -1000]

As Wang Chen was at his wit’s end, a message suddenly flashed across his vision.

The harsh fire of the Golden Core unexpectedly subsided by a fraction!

[Human Virtue -1000], [Human Virtue -1000], [Human Virtue -1000]…

Wang Chen’s Human Virtue Points depleted rapidly, and the fiery energy of the Golden Core gradually dissolved. It spun round and round within his dantian, further shrinking in size and becoming denser in texture.

And it took on a crystalline, flawless transparency.

Wang Chen had a realization.

The situation just now seemed perilous, but in reality, it helped in refining the nascent Golden Core, making it even more perfect!

Understanding this, Wang Chen closed his eyes again and continued to practice and circulate his energy.

At that same moment, ten miles away from Qinglan Valley on a mountain peak, the Fox Empress stood barefoot on a verdant rock, gazing in the direction of the valley from afar.

A mysterious light flickered in her fox-like eyes.

To this Power Woman of the Fox Tribe, a faint golden pillar of qi rose from within the valley, piercing straight into the firmament.

“Qi Rushing to the Heavens, Superior Golden Core Achievement!”

She murmured, “Truly, geniuses among the human race are never in short supply.”

A tinge of wistfulness and helplessness colored the Fox Empress’s voice, which then became increasingly icy, even revealing a hint of murderous intent.

“Ying Ying!”

Suddenly, the hem of her dress was gently tugged.

The Fox Empress looked down to see the source, her killing intent quietly dissipating. She curled her lips into an indulgent smile and said, “Understood.”

The one tugging at her dress was none other than a little girl with hair in twin buns, cute as a jade in the snow!

The little girl gave the Fox Empress a sweet smile, then turned around and vanished into thin air.

“Really…”

The Fox Empress turned back towards the direction of the valley and sighed, “A daughter is hardest to retain.”

Despite being in danger herself, the Spirit of the Mysterious Fox had to protect her lover and keep an eye on her mother. Truly a filial daughter!

And at this moment, the golden pillar of qi in the valley was no longer visible!

The Fox Empress shook her head and her figure vanished with a shimmer.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Out of the clear sky, three peals of thunder suddenly boomed, as if announcing to the heavens and earth.

Next to the waterfall in Qinglan Valley, Wang Chen, seated on a rock, opened his eyes again, his black pupils suddenly flashing with a rainbow brilliance!

The world had changed.

The surroundings felt distinctly different to Wang Chen.

His vision, hearing, sense of smell, all were greatly enhanced. He could distinctly perceive every movement around him, his Divine Sense extending to faraway places.

Wang Chen could even observe the fluctuations of the Spiritual Energy around him!

When he looked inward at himself, he saw a Golden Core the size of a dragon’s eye floating in the midst of his Qi Sea, radiating a dazzling light!

Golden Core, Golden Core!

Overwhelming joy flooded Wang Chen, causing him to unconsciously clench his fists.

In the boundless Haotian, beneath the Golden Core, all were as insignificant as ants.

Taking this step, Wang Chen truly became an Immortal Cultivator, no longer just the dispensable fodder in the eyes of others!

He now had the foundation to firmly stand in this world.

Reflecting on the struggles and efforts of the past years, Wang Chen sat motionless on the rock.

He was, in fact, somewhat entranced.
