Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Accompanied by the sound of the wind,

endless Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi converged from all directions.

Beneath the dark clouds, a funnel-shaped storm of Spiritual Energy formed, continuously gathering towards the center. The Spiritual Energy, after being compressed again and again, began to form ice crystal-like entities, and a faint Golden Pill Deterrence emerged.

”The first step went smoothly,”

Immortal Dinghai nodded in approval and took the opportunity to explain to the surrounding students via voice transmission: ”The prerequisite for Foundation Establishment is to use one’s Divine Sense and mana to draw in celestial phenomena and then compress one’s mana with the essence of the great forces of heaven and earth to reach the critical point for forming a Golden Core Pill.”

”With a Fa-Level Technique, and techniques below that level, reaching this step is very difficult.”

”All the students here practice Jing-level Cultivation Methods. As long as you cultivate to the Peak of Foundation Building, this aspect will not be difficult. However, do not be arrogant or complacent. We should aim even higher and form at least an upper-grade Golden Pill.”

”If you have spare strength, it is best to induce the phenomenon of Foundation Establishment, to form a perfect-grade Golden Pill, which naturally increases the likelihood of Infant Formation in the future by ten or twenty percent compared to others.”

”The celestial phenomena of Foundation Establishment...”

Jin Lingfeng showed a look of yearning.

Even for cultivators who practice Jing-level Cultivation Methods, an upper-grade Golden Pill is within reach, but a perfect-grade remains elusive, achieved by only a few.

That was the reason everyone had gathered here, hoping to gain some experience.

The Dari Swordsman is bound to form a perfect-grade Golden Pill!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the storm of Spiritual Energy beneath the dark clouds slowly expanded, engulfing the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi from all around. The dark clouds grew denser, and with intermittent crackling sounds, lightning serpents slithered among them, the sense of dread becoming even more terrifying.

Soon, seven days passed.

The Spiritual Energy cyclone and dark clouds had expanded to cover more than fifty kilometers and were still growing, at a steady pace, with no signs of slowing down.

”Fifty kilometers.”

”The celestial phenomena of Foundation Establishment have already surpassed the limit of an upper-grade Golden Pill.”

An Siyan stared unblinkingly at the sky.

There was silence all around, as cultivators are known for their great patience.

Half a month passed.

”A hundred kilometers!”

An Siyan’s heart trembled as she looked upward.

Strong winds rose, and the dark clouds obscured the entire sky, covering the entirety of Qingfeng University’s Floating Island.

As far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.

The school had lit up layer upon layer of thin protective shields to cover and protect the many mortals and cultivators below with low cultivation bases. Otherwise, even the slightest residual wave of energy could result in widespread death.

Underneath the dark clouds, the Spiritual Energy funnel rotated.

The vast amount of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi was compressed toward the center, and the Golden Pill Deterrence had become so immense that even Golden Pill Monks paid side glances.

The dark clouds continued to expand!

Slow and steady, following a fixed rhythm, there were none of the impatience or Spiritual Energy turbulence that typical Foundation-building cultivators should have when establishing their foundation. It was as stable as a toy in the palm, not at all like the wild force of nature.

”What a terrifying foundation,”

the crowned middle-aged man exclaimed in amazement: ”Back when I was forming my core, I didn’t have even half of this spectacle. Worthy of being our family’s Dari Swordsman.”

”Stop flattering yourself,”

Immortal Luling cast him a disdainful glance: ”Back in your day, even if there were ten of you tied together, you wouldn’t be able to take a single move from him.”

”Wei Chi, can you not tell the truth...”

”Dinghai.”

Immortal Luling ignored him and asked, ”Should we invest some Spirit Stones to supplement? This is too slow.”

”No need,”

Immortal Dinghai stroked his beard: ”Celestial phenomena are not necessarily better the bigger they are. If it exceeds one’s abilities, it is actually a bad thing. The gathering of the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, regulated by oneself, will naturally be best.”

The cyclone of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and dark clouds expanded little by little.

After more than a month.

A patch of dark clouds, hundreds of kilometers in size, hung high in the sky, overshadowing not just the entire Qingfeng University Floating Island, but also the surrounding cities. Despite being midday, the sky was dark and gloomy, as if dusk had arrived.

Moreover, a terrifying aura spread, filling the area within hundreds of kilometers. Even protected by formations, everyone felt waves of fear and unease, constantly raising alarms and asking questions.

”The Nascent Soul great calamity, should be no more than this...”

Immortal Luling and the others were stunned.

As for the Golden Pill Monks, they were horrified and instinctively drew closer to the direction of the Nascent Soul elders for protection, fearing some terrible accident might occur.

Finally, after months of expansion, the several-hundred-kilometer wide dark clouds paused and stabilized.

A hint of Bluegold light emerged from the direction of the mining dormitory, drawing the attention of the surrounding onlookers.

The Bluegold light under the dark clouds shined brightly, illuminating all around.

In the midst of the endless sky, a massive ancient tree rose from the ground, its canopy basking in the Bluegold sun, soaring into the firmament as if to split open the heavens. The tree’s crown rustled, with leaves fluttering down, endless Sword Qi scattered about, piercing the void to create numerous chaotic black holes.

```

”A phenomenon during the formation of the Golden Pill!”

”A Sword Dao type of phenomenon.”

An Siyan held his breath as he took out a high-quality magic flying sword from his storage pouch, a spoil of war from an unknown source that had been laying forgotten at the bottom of the pouch for many years.

At this moment, without any external force, it resonated with a clear ring, its hilt facing outward as if it were trying to fly out of his grasp towards the Bluegold Great Sun.

Looking around, it was the same for everyone; even the flying swords of the Golden Pill Monks were not spared.

Within a range of hundreds of kilometers, ten thousand flying swords sang in unison.

Hu hu hu...

The wind howled, dark clouds churned, and the funnel-shaped Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly accelerated its circulation, swallowing and spewing out the Spiritual Qi within hundreds of kilometers, spinning it in layers, purging impurities and murky air, converging it all to a single point at the center of the bottom.

The Spiritual Qi was liquefying, with thick white mists and even fine droplets of Spiritual Energy becoming visible to the naked eye.

A massive amount of refined Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi,

poured into the Elixir Field without exception!

”Golden Pill!”

”Solidification of liquid mana and the creation of a new core...”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

A vast amount of external Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi surged into the meridians, which suddenly expanded several times, flooding into the spinning Qi Sea in the Elixir Field like a fiery deluge. Each stream of Spiritual Qi carried a destructive force capable of killing a newly initiated Golden Pill Monk in an instant.

Those with a slightly weaker foundation could burst into pieces just by touching it, with no chance of surviving.

These destructive streams of Qi, however, were extremely docile here, firmly controlled by the Divine Sense and Sword Intent. The Elixir Field expanded several times, seemingly terrifying, but without any sign of losing control.

The Qi whirlpool in the Elixir Field frantically spun, devouring and refining pure Spiritual Qi from all directions into droplets of deep blue electromagnetic mana, pushing the already stretched limits of the Elixir Field even further.

The refined external Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi continued to flow endlessly, being refined into mana as if there were no end.

The refined Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi from the outside world pressed down.

The Qi Sea in the Elixir Field inside endlessly produced mana.

Under the pressure from within and without, the liquid mana inside the Elixir Field was compressed time and again, with strands of ice crystal-like golden solid material appearing.

Pain shot through the Elixir Field and meridians, with traces of blood becoming faintly visible.

”It’s time.”

Jiang Ding opened his eyes, and the sharp, law-breaking glint of bluegold flashed by.

With a thought,

a shadow of a bluegold sword from within the Divine Soul descended into the center of the Qi Sea in the Elixir Field.

A magic spell true seed!

For Magic Cultivators, this is their most proficient magic seed, meant to bear the core of the Golden Pill, transforming a spell into Divine Abilities, increasing the power tenfold.

The quality of the magic spell true seed, its complexity, and the soundness of its structure directly affects the quality of a cultivator’s Golden Pill and their future path. It is the most important thing for a Golden Pill Monk.

For Sword Cultivators, the process is much simpler, as they directly use the Flying Sword Divine Soul Brand as the core for the Golden Pill.

This is the magic seed that will accompany them for life.

Jiang Ding had prepared for the Golden Pill for many years. Filled with numerous thoughts, despite the Elixir Field almost bursting, he maintained orderly progress, inspecting data indicators such as the Elixir Field, meridians, and the funnel-shaped Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi whirlpool one by one.

Everything was normal.

Then, let the pill be formed without regrets!

”Condense.”

Jiang Ding commanded in a low voice.

The Divine Soul Brand of the Taiqing Flying Sword rang out with a clang, emitting a sword’s cry that shook the Elixir Field at its critical point.

Instantly,

Under the immense pressure from both inside and outside, golden solid materials in the Elixir Field, resembling ice crystals, oscillated from the external force, separating and gleaming with intricate Runes. Gradually, they adhered to the Flying Sword Divine Sense Brand, bestowing upon the sword a layer of faint gold light that seemed both tangible and illusory.

Boom!

This was a beginning, accompanied by a terrifying sound of collapse. The immense pressure within and outside of the Elixir Field finally found a release, with strands of golden solid material forming continuously and layering upon the nascent form of the Golden Pill.

Rune after Rune flickered into existence, with Array Patterns forming and disappearing.

Like rice grain carvings, they had to etch the vast and intricate patterns of the Great Dao into this small Golden Pill. Every strand of golden solid material was part of an Array Pattern – primordial Chaos Qi swirled around it, aiming to ensure the immortality of the Golden Pill and the foundation of the Dao.

Innumerous mysteries of Formation Dao were born and extinguished, with layers of Golden Pill Runes emerging and fading.

In the blink of an eye,

a Golden Pill emerged, with nine orifices, rotating slowly in the Elixir Field, glittering brightly.
