Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 308: Chapter 56: Finally Achieved!

Zhou Jingsong maintained a calm demeanor,

carefully examining the Spiritual Energy Cluster before recalling the Core Formation celestial phenomenon recorded in the scripture. He said:

”According to the scripture, at this stage, Master has already passed the halfway point in the Core Formation process, reaching a critical moment!”

”However, with Master’s caution and talent, forming the True Pill is naturally not a problem!”

”Won’t we soon have a True Pill Ancestor?”

”In the future, Zhou Qiuyue will also be a True Pill heir!”

...

On the other side, Weih Qiuxin and Fang Tianlun along with other subordinates were watching the phenomenon in the sky.

”I remember the Island Master isn’t even seventy years old this year!”

Fang Tianlun remarked.

”Sixty-nine!” Weih Qiuxin added beside him.

”Forming the Core at sixty-nine, has anyone in Xui Country’s history achieved such a feat?” Fang Tianlun exclaimed.

”Throughout the three thousand years of Xui Country’s history, the earliest Core Formation was by Master Haoyu, who formed a High-Grade True Pill at the age of ninety-seven and cultivated to the Peak Core Formation by three hundred!”

Fang Tianlun’s Dao companion, Fairy Mingyue, replied.

”Perhaps only the legendary Celestial Spirit Root cultivators have such speed!” Fang Tianlun marveled.

...

Two hundred thousand miles away, a yellow Spirit Light was racing toward Wangchuan Lake.

The person was none other than Cloud Light Sect’s Grand Elder, Master Yun Yi, whose cultivation was at the Peak of Middle-Stage Core Formation.

That day, he secretly left Golden Ape Valley, intending to personally eliminate Zhou Xun.

As a key figure in the revival of Cloud Light Sect, he dedicated his life to strengthening the Sect, also considering the entire Xui Country as his domain.

He would never allow the emergence of any existence capable of threatening Cloud Light Sect’s dominance.

Therefore, he had been openly and covertly suppressing other cultivators in Xui Country, leading to Wu Zongdao’s departure years ago.

The matter with Master White Cloud had been a lifelong regret, and now with an even more exceptional Zhou Xun appearing.

He naturally could not tolerate it.

”Eliminate the threat in its cradle!”

This had always been Master Yun Yi’s motto.

...

In the Lake Bottom Cultivation Room, Zhou Xun was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

At this moment, his entire body was enveloped in dense Spiritual Qi forming a sphere.

In the Dantian, the dense Liquid Magical Power almost filled the entire area, bringing a feeling of imminent rupture.

Zhou Xun knew, this was his Liquid Magical Power reaching extreme conversion.

”Next comes the Condensing Liquid into a Pill!”

Though the celestial phenomenon was astounding, Zhou Xun was extremely relaxed at the moment.

The preceding process had been smooth and stable.

His eyes were as sharp as lightning, controlling the vast Liquid Magical Power with a Divine Sense akin to that of a True Pill Cultivator, rotating and compressing around the center of the Dantian.

Suddenly, waves of mana rippled through his body, shaking his marrow.

They almost tore Zhou Xun’s physical body apart.

This was a hurdle that must be encountered during Core Formation.

Only a sufficiently powerful physical body can withstand it.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun’s hands continuously formed seals, as the rotation of Liquid Magical Power accelerated, and Thunder Light kept flashing within the Dantian.

No one knows how much time passed.

Gradually, small crystalline particles as fine as sand appeared at the center of the Liquid Magical Power.

This indicated the compression into solid form.

Simultaneously, the external Spiritual Qi surged violently again, producing an even greater suction force.

A larger amount of Spiritual Qi permeated through the body surface, infiltrating the meridians, then converting into mana, constantly feeding the rotating Liquid Magical Power cluster.

Strangely, this Liquid Magical Power cluster continued to shrink.

If one could see inside it, they would find an increasing number of crystalline particles continuously forming.

Then bunching together, revolving around the Dantian’s center.

Whoosh!

It is unknown how much time elapsed, but gradually a perfectly spherical solid pill substance formed.

Yet external Spiritual Qi kept pouring in, intensifying further.

The influx of mana kept merging into the newly formed Inner Core, continuously polishing and compressing it.

This had reached the most hazardous step of Core Formation.

Countless mana formed this Inner Core, and a single mistake leading to backlash self-detonation would have unimaginably dire consequences.

Bear in mind, when Master White Cloud’s Inner Core exploded back then, it took out a Tier Three Middle-Grade Great Demon.

Even if this step stabilizes, Zhou Xun’s Core Formation path hasn’t yet concluded.

If halted here, the condensed Inner Core’s purity is insufficient, appearing grayish-white.

Its quality would be poor, and future improvement would be restricted, equivalent to the Fake Pill Realm.

Continuous polishing to pure white signifies a True Pill.

Further polishing, with implied heavenly Dao essence, appearing pale gold, signifies the legendary Immortal Golden Core!

The ”Nascent Soul Seed” often mentioned in the scriptures!

...

Outside, all cultivators around Wangchuan Lake paused, blankly staring at the phenomenon in the sky.

Three days had passed since the Spiritual Qi gathering began.

”According to the scriptures, anyone who lasts beyond three days is likely to succeed in Core Formation, albeit only forming a Fake Pill!”

”Seeing the celestial phenomenon, it shows no signs of ceasing, could it be a True Pill cultivator is emerging?!”

The speaker was a Cloud Light Sect disciple in hiding at Wangchuan Square!

At this moment, he gazed at it with envious eyes.

To him, successfully condensing a Fake Pill would have been fulfilling enough for a lifetime.

Yet a sense of urgency rose within him.

”It’s been over a month since the message was sent to the Sect, why is there still no response?”

”If no action is taken, once Zhou Xun achieves True Pill status, Cloud Light Sect might never have another chance!”

He remains unaware of Master Fengyue’s demise.

In fact, the number of people privy to this event is less than five.

Another three days passed, now six days have elapsed since the celestial phenomenon appeared.

This Cloud Light Sect disciple has grown numb.

”According to records, Master Jin Hong’s Core Formation phenomenon lasted four days, achieving a Low-Grade True Pill!”

”Master Yun Yi’s lasted five days, achieving a Middle-Grade True Pill!”

”Could it be Zhou Xun is condensing a High-Grade True Pill?!”

The middle-aged man wore a worried expression.

Yet soon, another day passed.

The phenomenon persists!

Until the eighth day,

...

Elsewhere, five hundred miles from Wangchuan Lake, a yellow Flying Ship rushed forward.

On the ship stood an elder with white hair, over sixty years old, standing alone with his hands behind.

Looking at Wangchuan Lake nestled like white jade among towering mountains, he gave a faint smile.

Suddenly, his complexion changed.

”This... This is the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon!”

”Someone is forming the Core at Wangchuan Lake, who is it?”

He had an inkling in his heart!

Immediately mana surged beneath his feet, increasing speed, rushing toward Wangchuan Lake.

...

In the Lake Bottom Cultivation Room.

After being polished and compressed for eight days, the Inner Core within the Dantian reached its peak.

At the final moment, a surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi descended, merging into the Inner Core.

However, Zhou Xun felt this Qi was somewhat weak and lacking.

”Finally, has it come to an end!”

Zhou Xun’s incarnation murmured.

Inner vision of the Dantian,

A gold-white intersecting Inner Core was spinning swiftly, while a mysterious thunder essence surrounded it.

Appearing incredibly strange.

Yet this thunder essence seemed flawed, not achieving Perfection.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun sighed,

”Still lacking a tiny bit, Half-Step Golden Core!”
