Update released! Book lovers, go read Cola Novels!
Yuquan Island.
Yu Xiang'er suddenly looked up and sensed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was being drawn in, and it was flowing into Fang Qing's secluded meditation room.
Even her divine sense and gaze could not penetrate that place.
Or rather, when it was thrown in, it was swallowed up by a huge "black hole".
Rumble!
The cave trembled, and the spiritual spring overflowed...
Then... everything returned to calm.
Quiet room.
Fang Qing sat cross-legged on the "Heart-Cleansing Futon," holding the "Soul-Nourishing Prayer Beads" in his hand, silently circulating the "Sea-Swallowing Technique"!
He secluded himself for two years, during which he devoured several third-tier inner cores.
Before even beginning to devour the inner core of that near-fourth-tier Mountain-Moving Turtle, it encountered the bottleneck of the late-stage Core Formation realm.
He immediately took the "Mysterious Star Waterfall Pill" in one go, and with the help of various treasures and his powerful spiritual energy, he broke through the bottleneck of the late stage of Core Formation!
The result was that he easily advanced to the late stage of Core Formation in one fell swoop!
Click!Click!
Fang Qing stood up, shook off non-existent dust from his body, and felt the abundant internal energy of the pill within him, as well as the jet-black, jade-like true pill of the "Swallowing the Sea Technique" that had shrunk in size again and even had inexplicable pill patterns appearing on its surface. A hint of joy appeared on his face: "I've reached the late stage of Core Formation... Breaking through in the Qi Refining Path is so simple. As long as there is enough external force, it can truly be accomplished in one fell swoop."
Late stage of Core Formation!
In the cultivation world, they are revered as Grand Core Formation cultivators, capable of easily annihilating early Core Formation cultivators...
Well, even without breaking through, Fang Qing could still do it.
Because he traversed two paths and cultivated numerous skills, his combat power had long surpassed his cultivation level.
"My physique has also improved, and I've now reached the level of a high-grade third-tier body tempering cultivator..."
"And as for divine sense... thanks to the subtle assistance of the 'Soul Nourishing Prayer Bead,' it can now reach sixty miles... If further aided by the 'Abyss Eye Bead,' it can reach eighty-six miles! This is already the divine sense of a fully formed Core Formation cultivator, and it may even exceed that..."
No matter how powerful a Core Formation stage cultivator's divine sense is, it's impossible for it to reach a distance of a hundred miles.
Being able to sense a range of a hundred miles is the divine sense of a Nascent Soul level cultivator!
Fang Qing pondered for a moment and then opened his mouth again. Two beams of dark light appeared and transformed into a bottle and a mirror.
The bottle is the "Sea-Swallowing Bottle," and the mirror is the "Mysterious Sea Mirror"!
These two natal magic treasures accompanied his advancement and are now high-grade third-tier magic treasures!
It is enough to have a decisive effect when fighting for the Core Formation stage.
"Yes, the main thing is the 'Mysterious Netherworld Mirror'... It needs to be upgraded to at least the third-tier top-grade, or even the near-fourth-tier... Only then can it have a good effect in the future Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation."
After pondering for a moment, he took out a small bell with dragon and phoenix seals on its surface, which was the Nascent Soul treasure - the "Heavenly Bell"!
Boom!
With a flick of his sleeve, Fang Qing unleashed a torrent of late-stage Core Formation energy.
The surface of the "Wen Tian Zhong" glowed slightly, but then there was no further reaction, as if it had vanished without a trace.
"As expected, it still doesn't work..."
"But the Devouring Sea Technique is, after all, a top-tier technique, with pure and powerful magic power... When I reach the peak of Core Formation, I should be able to activate this Nascent Soul treasure and unleash a Nascent Soul attack, even at the cost of enormous energy consumption..."
"After just one strike, I'll be exhausted, so I can only use it as a trump card to decide the fate of the world..."
"However, I possess the primordial energy reserves within the Dao-Generating Pearl. If others believe I've exhausted my magical power, I can instantly give my enemies a huge surprise..."
He played with the "Heavenly Bell" for a while before putting the treasure away and then looked at the near-fourth-order inner core.
This pill may not be useful this time, but it will definitely be useful when you break through to the peak of Core Formation in the future. There will always be an opportunity, so it's best to keep it safe.
"Strength... is still lacking."
"Although I am now in the late stage of Core Formation, I can probably rival a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator... but the danger that could kill a True Immortal of the Profound Earth is still difficult to deal with."
Of course, this specifically refers to Fang Qing, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
If it were someone like Helian Sanxiong, who was at the late stage of Core Formation, it would be quite good if he could hold his own against a True Person at the early stage of Purple Mansion in a one-on-one fight. After all, although the True Person of Purple Mansion only had magic power around the mid-stage of Core Formation, their supernatural abilities were amazing. If things went wrong, they could escape through the Void Escape. Ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivators and Perfected cultivators could only stare helplessly.
Although Fang Qing secretly estimated that a mid-stage Purple Mansion True Person was roughly equivalent to a late-stage Core Formation cultivator or a Perfect Core Formation cultivator, he still had to consider their cultivation methods, combat experience, and even their lineages and treasures, so it was impossible to generalize... especially since he himself was an exception!
"I still need to continue my arduous training..."
He sat cross-legged, completely transforming the true elixir power of the late-stage Core Formation "Swallowing the Sea Technique" into a reserve of true qi, and then converting it into the [Ji Shui] supernatural power - "Hidden Forest Bank"!
In the past two years, in addition to constantly consuming demon cores to aid his cultivation, Fang Qing has also been comprehending the Dao of this supernatural power.
"Hidden by the forest, the spring is hidden here, concealed by the woods, forming a wonderful place... The full name should be 'Spring Hidden by the Forest,' but now even the 'spring' is hidden, so it must be the treasure of the water..."
"My skill in this supernatural power is becoming increasingly profound, but theory and practice are two different things... How about I try to catalyze the supernatural power again?"
"However, with the Zhou Tian Secret Realm about to open, it wouldn't be good if I failed to refine the divine power and lost my primordial energy..."
He opened his eyes, a flash of emerald green crossing his vision: "Oh? Zhan Hongxiu is here? Still on Tianxin Island, meeting Qin Ruxue?"
……
Tianxin Island.
"hold head high!"
With a roar as loud as a dragon, a 'moving island' slowly approached.
The third-tier Longevity Turtle already possessed its innate divine power. At this moment, it was using its innate divine power of "Size at Will," continuously shrinking its size until it became the size of a rockery, and then climbed onto Tianxin Island.
On the back of the Longevity Turtle, Zhan Hongxiu stood with her hands behind her back, her divine sense sweeping across the entire island: "The Azure Sea Sect truly has a profound foundation. After the death of Ancestor Ruan, there is an Ancestor Cui in the sect... and there is also a Core Formation female cultivator here."
Despite saying that, she was not afraid at all.
Both are at the early stage of Core Formation, but their combat experience was gained through battles in the brutal world of cultivation in the East Sea, and they have even faced Nascent Soul stage monsters!
How many Core Formation cultivators could have such an experience?
If she weren't somewhat wary of that 'Ancestor Fang,' she could have unified the Lesser Universe in an instant...
Just as her thoughts were drifting, the void ahead tore open, revealing a female cultivator dressed in white, who was none other than Qin Ruxue!
"Teleportation? Physical teleportation?"
Zhan Hongxiu was stunned.
"A spiritual root? Or a treasure from the void?"
Within her sea of consciousness, the old tortoise had already lost his composure and cried out: "I have been asleep for many years, has the world outside changed so drastically?"
"So it's Sister Zhan..."
Behind Qin Ruxue, array flags appeared, each bearing the Gui Water Divine Thunder. A terrifying aura spread out, enough to threaten even a Core Formation cultivator.
Although she is Tara, she is not the complete Tara.
After all, Fang Qing did not use the "Spirit of the Lord of the Ashtanga Speaks of the Land of Women" to empower her and transform her foundation for the [Land of Women] path; he merely bestowed upon her a Tara 'status'.
In other words, Qin Ruxue at this moment was using her "position" to enhance her foundation-building magic power, thereby unleashing her Core Formation combat power.
In reality, it is somewhat similar to the Core Formation combat power of refining the Tide-Generating Pearl.
However, unlike others, Tara does indeed bless one's lifespan, allowing one to live for as long as five hundred years. She also possesses miraculous abilities such as traversing the vast void and calculating the path to enlightenment.
"This one... is a bit difficult to fight. Even if you can beat them, you won't be able to catch them..."
"Unless I use a secret divine sense technique to defeat her in one strike, leaving her no chance to escape..."
Within the sea of consciousness, the old tortoise spoke.
"Greetings, fellow qin player."
Zhan Hongxiu bowed.
"May I ask what brings Sister Zhan here?"
Qin Ruxue asked a question she already knew the answer to.
"It's naturally about the secret realm. The secret realm is about to open; I wonder if I, little sister, will have the opportunity?"
With her red sleeves, she went straight to the point.
"This matter...I cannot make the decision myself; I'm afraid you, sir, will have to discuss it with you personally."
Qin is like snow.
"Young Master? Elder Fang Qing? He really didn't leave?!"
Zhan Hongxiu was resolute in her heart.
Immediately, the void broke open, and Fang Qing walked out leisurely.
Do not!
Although his face resembled Fang Qing's, the person who came was dressed in a green robe, with a radiant spot between his brows and his whole body filled with light. He exuded an unfathomable aura and was clearly a deity, not an ordinary person!
"this……"
Not only Zhan Hongxiu, but even Elder Gui was dumbfounded: "How did this kid become like this? I thought he had cultivated the 'Sea-Swallowing Technique,' but according to my secret technique, it doesn't seem to be..."
At this moment, even the well-informed old turtle was bewildered.
"Oh? It seems this old tortoise has indeed never seen a true Purple Mansion cultivator before?"
Fang Qing's appearance as a Purple Mansion True Man was clearly intentional.
Furthermore, there was a "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" Dao Foundation within his dantian, which allowed him to eavesdrop on his thoughts.
He still did this suicidal thing, and was surprised to find that, since his supernatural powers were located in his Purple Mansion and his Dao foundation was only in his Dantian Qi Sea, there was no conflict between the two.
Even if a conflict occurs, the result will inevitably be that one's own [Ji Shui] supernatural power easily crushes the foundation of the Dao, so it is not a big problem.
"And after using it up, at worst, you can use the Dao-Generating Pearl to convert the 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' Dao Foundation back into Yuan Qi. This way, you won't get injured, and you won't even lose any Yuan Qi..."
"Of course, if I wanted a thrill, I could try elevating 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' to a divine power, and then experience the incompatibility between the two divine powers in my Purple Mansion... but it's more likely I'd collapse after only elevating it halfway..."
"Fellow Daoist Zhan, it's been a long time. Please come in and have some tea."
Fang Qing acted very enthusiastically, just like a local landlord, ordering around the disciples of the Azure Sea Sect.
Of course, even if Cui Zhe were here, he probably wouldn't dare to say anything.
Zhan Hongxiu readily agreed, and together they arrived at the palace built by the Azure Sea Gate on Tianxin Island.
When the spirit tea was served, Zhan Hongxiu looked left and right, but she could hardly connect this person with Bai Jianfeng, the sword cultivator.
Zhan Hongxiu took a sip of spiritual tea and said, "I wonder what kind of cultivation technique you practice, fellow practitioner? The aura is truly astonishing..."
"It's just an ordinary water-attribute technique, not worth mentioning."
Fang Qing waved his hand and said, "That's right, the 'Listening to the Mysterious Cave Spring Scripture' is just an ordinary water-attribute cultivation technique, although it's from the Qi Cultivation Dao..."
