Chapter 182 - 91: Core Formation (Double-Length Part 2)

Such abundant Spiritual Qi is also an aid in the breakthrough; the substantive mist and even the lake water are swirling into vortices, affecting even the outside world.

"Rumble!"

Primordial Spirit gathers, the color of heaven and earth changes, and dark clouds descend, covering Fish Dragon Island.

"Is this...!"

Inside and outside the island, many cultivators are alarmed, and even direct disciples rush over, looking at the sky filled with dark clouds and below where Spiritual Qi swirls and lake water vortices form in Fish Dragon Lake, their eyes are filled with a mix of surprise and joy.

"The Golden Core phenomenon?"

"Master..."

"Island Master..."

"Is it finally time for the Core Formation?"

The disciples of Fish Dragon Island, though all are people with Immortal Fate, are also connected to the Cultivation Realm, knowing some common knowledge within the realm, such as the Golden Core phenomenon.

To form a Golden Core, a cultivator needs to channel Primordial Spirit into their body, achieve the Five Qi in their chest, and ultimately form the Golden Core within their abdomen.

Such attraction of Spiritual Qi naturally results in celestial phenomena, and the stronger the celestial phenomena, the more Spiritual Qi the cultivator attracts, indicating a more powerful Golden Core.

"It’s said that there are Nine Transformations and Three Grades for Golden Cores!"

"Transformations One to Three are Low Grade, Four to Six are Middle Grade, Seven to Nine are Upper Grade."

"A Low Grade Golden Core can reach Nascent Soul, a Middle Grade Golden Core can hope to achieve Divinity Transformation, and an Upper Grade Golden Core might even have the ascension prowess."

"I wonder which grade the Island Master will achieve?"

"Humph, what kind of person is the Island Master, it must be Upper Grade without a doubt!"

"Indeed, with the Island Master’s capability, forming a Golden Core should have been possible long ago; it has been delayed until now to achieve an Upper Grade Golden Core, aiming for the hope of ascension."

"Heaven bless Fish Dragon Island!"

Watching the increasingly intense phenomena, about to form a storm tornado in the center of the lake island, everyone’s hearts besides being astonished, are also filled with joy.

They are already bound to Fish Dragon Island, mutually shared honor and disgrace now that Fish Dragon Island is hopeful for an Upper Grade Golden Core, a True Immortal Seed, how can they not be delighted?

Under the gaze of all.

In the Earth Spirit Array, Shen Hex sits suspended, a massive Spiritual Qi pouring in, all being channeled into his body.

Spiritual Qi enters the body, traverses the meridians, first gathering at the heavenly spirit, then merging into the five organs.

The human body’s five organs correspond to the Five Elements!

When nature’s spiritual energy enters the body, it cannot be directly used by the cultivator; it must be absorbed and transformed, merged with the cultivator’s magical power, before it can be wielded effortlessly.

This task of fusion falls upon the meridians and the five organs, especially on the five organs, which need to utilize the body’s Five Elements Power to convert the Five Elements Power of nature, transforming nature’s spiritual energy into the Five Qi of the Body, finally merging into the Dantian Qi Sea to form the Golden Core.

Thus is Five Qi to Origin.

Extremely perilous!

But for Shen Hex, it is easy.

Immortal Martial Spirit, Three Methods lead an enormous amount of Primordial Spirit, traversing the meridians and lungs.

Immediately, the Five Qi enriches and resplendent with brilliance.

Shen Hex sits suspended, Three Splendors Gather at the Top, Five Qi to Origin in his chest, Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit gathers in one body, finally descending from top to bottom into the Dantian, manifesting various phenomena in the Qi Sea.

Dragon and tiger intermingled, water and fire boiling.

Black and white primordial element, Five Colors rotating.

Yin Yang Five Elements, earth, wind, fire, water.

Human power, power of heaven and earth...

Eventually, Immortal Martial Spirit, Unity of the Three Methods.

A Primordial Pill is formed, hanging in the Qi Sea.

The Primordial Pill is entirely gold with cloud patterns, yet not nine, but...

Twelve!

Twelve Transformations!

Martial Dao Fourth Rank, Immortal Dao Fourth Rank, Tier Four Spirit Control.

Unity of the Three Methods, Dao Golden Core, Breaking Nine Extremes, reaching Twelve Transformations.

Twelve-Transformation Great Dao Golden Core!

"Boom!!!"

At the moment the Golden Core is formed, the heaven and earth undergo another shocking change, the calamity cloud collides, and thunder erupts, showing an imposing force.

"This..."

"How could it be like this?"

Outside the Earth Spirit Array, everyone is perplexed, staring at those calamity clouds not knowing what to do.

"Calamity cloud?"

"How could there be calamity cloud?"

"Celestial Tribulation!?"

"Isn’t it only when breaking the Core to form the Nascent Soul that Celestial Tribulation arrives?"

"Could it be that the Island Master is not forming a Core but breaking the Core to form a Nascent Soul?"

"This..."

Seeing the clouds gather, displaying the power of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, everyone is filled with panic.

But whatever everyone does, it is of no consequence to heaven and earth.

"Boom!!!"

The calamity clouds gather, collision ensues, and eventually, thunder descends, pouring into the Spirit Island.

Thunder streaks through, piercing through Fish Dragon Island, directly hitting the Earth Spirit Array in the center of the Spirit Island.

"Rumble!"

The Spirit Array takes the blow, Earth Vein tumbles, the entire Fish Dragon Island shakes, many people standing unsteady staggered, raised Spirit Beasts and cultivated Water Race huddled into circles, trembling.

Heaven’s power, Heaven and Earth Tribulation power.

Only after an unknown duration, did the clouds disperse.

In Fish Dragon Island, at the site of the Earth Spirit Array, there is a massive pit, the consequence of thunder strike.

The pit is deep and faint, smoke and clouds linger, with traces of thunder fire still present.

"Master!"

Several direct disciples rush forward, looking at the deep abyssal pit with eyes full of alarm.

"Swallow the Golden Core, only then the vastness of heaven and earth is seen!"

At this moment, a light laugh sounded, a beam of golden light appeared, revealing the silhouette of Shen Hex.

"Master!"

Seeing Shen Hex safe and sound, the disciples turn alarm into joy, and some voice congratulations: "Congratulations to Master, for the success of the Golden Core."

"Ha!"

Shen Hex laughs, stepping out into the void: "Three days of grand feast, let the world celebrate together!"

"Yes!!!"

The disciples respond and leave; Shen Hex also turns back to start tidying up the aftermath, restoring the Earth Vein Spirit Array destroyed by the celestial tribulation.

Celestial Tribulation!

In cultivation, absorbing heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi, capturing the essence of the sun and moon, it is the path of defying the heavens.

Those who defy the heaven naturally have trials as penalties for their path.

But under normal circumstances, only Tier Six cultivators would encounter the Celestial Tribulation.

At this moment, Shen Hex is merely forming a Core and has not reached Nascent Soul; logically, there should not have been a Celestial Tribulation.

But unfortunately he played against the norm, cultivating Three Techniques of Immortal Martial Spirit whilst comprehending Self Transformed Sovereignty and Root of All Methods Great Technique, ultimately forming a Dao Golden Core of Three Techniques.
