Chapter 218 Successful Advancement
Yun Chen came to Qin Xi and hugged her.
Qin Xi didn't speak, nestled in Yun Chen's arms.
Yun Chen said, "Next, I will go into seclusion to condense my golden core."
Qin Xi nodded, her eyes resolute: "I want one too."
Yun Chen encouraged her, "Okay, let's do it together."
Afterwards, the two began their seclusion, intending to break through to the Golden Core Realm. They both needed to take this step to condense their Golden Cores, so that they would have a solid foundation of strength whether dealing with the Dragon Group or the Great Demons in the Core Formation Realm.
Before going into seclusion, the two activated their magical artifacts to inform Chu Miaomiao and the others, telling them not to worry about them.
They carved out a cave dwelling in the nearby mountains. The two of them worked together to set up a basic magic array to gather the spiritual energy of the earth's veins. In addition, they prepared a sufficient amount of pills for emergencies. These pills were given to them by the immortal elders when they came down the mountain, and the quantity was more than enough. They would not use them unless it was absolutely necessary.
Subsequently, the two adjusted their state and began to retreat into seclusion. The sound of chanting scriptures kept appearing in their minds.
Soon, a month passed and autumn arrived.
The mountains are covered in a tapestry of yellow and green, creating an exceptionally beautiful scene.
On this day, Yun Chen's true energy surged, and the magical power within his body became as vast as the sea, surging wildly and transforming into a huge vortex, constantly accumulating and condensing towards the same point.
"Break it!"
Inside the cave, Yun Chen sat down cross-legged, pushing all his magical power to its peak. All the power gathered from his limbs and bones, continuously concentrating and condensing towards his Dao foundation.
Boom…
The immense power shook the entire cave.
Subsequently, everything maintained a delicate balance.
Yun Chen's entire body was glowing, appearing dazzling and crystalline. At the same time, familiar scriptures kept resounding in his sea of consciousness. They were everything he had learned in his cultivation so far, and all kinds of supernatural powers and spells were automatically activated.
The entire cave was shaking and illuminated by light.
Time flies!
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
There was no movement at all in the cave where Yun Chen was located.
Ten days passed, then fifteen days passed.
Everything is normal, and there has been no change.
Until the twenty-eighth day.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning cleaved the sky.
The sky above Cangcheng, which had been relatively clear, was instantly covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a violent storm raged down, enveloping the entire city. Brilliant streaks of lightning, like dragons and snakes, appeared continuously in the gloomy sky, creating a spectacular sight.
The mountains near Cangcheng are shrouded in mist and ethereal energy. The sparse spiritual energy in the world all flows towards this place, condensing above a mountain peak and forming an invisible vortex of spiritual energy.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning, white with a hint of gold, struck the mountain peak.
In an instant, the sky changed dramatically, and a violent storm broke out.
Not long after, the storm subsided.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone again.
Inside the cave, Yun Chen opened his eyes. His whole body was radiating golden light, and he looked extremely sacred and solemn. He had successfully condensed his Golden Core and advanced to the Golden Core Realm. This was the culmination of all his cultivation and practice since he started his journey, and his magical power had become exceptionally strong.
At this moment, he did not leave. Instead, he turned back to his cave to recuperate. On one hand, he wanted to stabilize his cultivation, and on the other hand, Qin Xi was still breaking through her cultivation barrier in her cave not far away. He wanted to protect her, no matter what the outcome, until she emerged from her cultivation barrier.
Yun Chen returned to his cave, sat down cross-legged, and began to recuperate. He closed his eyes and looked inward at his body. He saw a golden core, no bigger than a thumb, appear on his Dao Foundation. It was dazzling and radiant, as if it were formed from condensed golden energy, exuding a vast and boundless aura, and containing powerful vitality and strength.
Entering the Golden Core Realm signifies a fundamental sublimation in all aspects. One can now master the power of heaven and earth, and rely solely on oneself to maintain flight for thousands of miles in a single flight. Both one's overall strength and the power gained from casting spells and divine abilities are on a completely different level from those at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Seven days later, the sky changed dramatically once again.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in from all directions, forming a vortex of spiritual energy. You must know how scarce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now; only these earth veins still contain a thin amount of spiritual energy.
Boom!
In the sky, a fierce storm raged, and lightning and thunder reappeared. Bolts of lightning struck down towards the mountains below and dissipated into the air. Finally, as these strange phenomena gradually dissipated, the clouds cleared, the rain stopped, and the world gradually returned to light.
Qin Xi has also successfully condensed her golden core.
She left the cave, and Yun Chen immediately came to her, took her hand, and the two gazed at each other.
After four years of cultivation, they finally became Golden Core experts, and at this moment, they felt stronger than ever before.
You must understand that cultivation is extremely difficult in this mortal world. Every step is met with tremendous obstacles. Cultivation is like ascending to heaven. The higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through.
Furthermore, it should be known that in the secular world today, there are very few Golden Core cultivators. At least among the group of immortal cultivators who came out of Kunlun Mountain, the strongest were basically only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and none of them were at the Golden Core stage.
Yun Chen and Qin Xi's successful breakthrough was quite extraordinary, and it was within their expectations. They simply pushed forward with effort on the basis of what was already a natural progression, since their Foundation Establishment Great Perfection was already flawless, and they were only a little short when they tried to break through before.
"We've finally broken through!"
Qin Xi was very happy. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Yun Chen, and the smile on her face was so beautiful that it seemed as if the world had lost its color.
Yun Chen took her hand in his: "Hmm, why don't you continue your seclusion and stabilize your cultivation level?"
Qin Xi shook her head: "It's alright, it's the same going back. A month has passed, I wonder how Miaomiao and Ye Mo are doing, whether they've successfully broken through."
She remembered that when the two left, Ye Mo and Chu Miaomiao told them that they would also try to break through to the Golden Core Realm. She wondered how they were doing now and whether they had succeeded.
Yun Chen suggested, "Alright, before we go back, how about we test the power of the Golden Core Realm?"
Qin Xi nodded.
Then, the two of them suddenly flew into the sky.
For them, after entering the Golden Core Realm, the restrictions imposed by heaven and earth on their flight are much weaker, and they can now control the power of heaven and earth, making it much easier than before.
Thousands of meters in the air, the two stood suspended in mid-air.
A strong wind swept by, and thick clouds and fog hung heavy.
This time, Qin Xi unleashed the Long Spear Technique.
Boom!
The magic power surged, golden light flowed, and runes overflowed.
In Qin Xi's hand appeared a crimson spear with a long tassel. Unlike the one Yun Chen used a month ago, this time, a blood-red battle flag appeared on the spear, fluttering in the wind and making a loud noise, forming an iron-blooded flag spear!
Yun Chen unleashed the Willow Tree Technique.
Before him, a willow tree rapidly grew, becoming towering and enormous in the blink of an eye. Its branches were distinct, and its twigs were light and graceful, hanging down like a sky full of divine chains of order, dense and numerous, appearing magnificent, vast, sacred and solemn. Moreover, a figure in white was slowly coalescing among the willow tree.
They both learned and could use two different techniques, but their levels of understanding differed.
Boom!
Qin Xi suddenly waved the battle flag, and a loud bang echoed in the sky.
The world suddenly turned dark, and a blood-red cloud gathered, unleashing hundreds and thousands of blood-red lightning bolts.
Boom!
A mountain peak with a diameter of 100 meters was struck and blasted open, causing a deafening roar in the sky, shaking the earth, sending debris flying everywhere, and swirling smoke and dust. The entire mountain peak was blasted flat.
Seeing this, Qin Xi herself was somewhat stunned.
Unexpectedly, simply using the Long Spear Technique casually unleashed such power, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, which completely exceeded the power previously mastered at the Foundation Establishment stage.
