#431 - Ten thousand acres
Observing Li Chengfeng's focus and meticulousness in setting up the array, the Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor smiled confidently and said, "There's no need to be so cautious. Since I've promised to help you, I will certainly keep my word.
This place is the safest haven. Those Core Formation juniors cannot easily penetrate these intricate sand arrays.
If they dare to venture in, they will only trigger the killing arrays and bring about their own demise. You can cultivate in peace."
Li Chengfeng nodded gratefully upon hearing this and smiled, "Thank you for your reassurance, Senior. I will now begin my closed-door cultivation.
When I need a large amount of spiritual energy, I hope Senior will generously assist me."
The Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor readily agreed, his laughter hearty.
Immediately, Li Chengfeng ceased his hesitation, sat down cross-legged, and adjusted himself to his optimal state.
With a gentle wave of his hand, ten exquisite jade bottles appeared out of thin air before him, each containing ten Soul-Guiding Pills.
These Soul-Guiding Pills, after his complete refinement, were no longer what they once were. They not only perfectly suited his cultivation needs but also thoroughly eliminated all potential threats, a true masterpiece of transformation.
The Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor, seeing this, slightly raised his lips and praised, "Junior, you are indeed well-prepared.
With the assistance of these Soul-Guiding Pills, your soul will surely become stronger, and your path to advancing to the Core Formation stage will be unimpeded.
I believe that with your unremitting efforts, any bottleneck will no longer be an obstacle."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, expressing his gratitude for the Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor's encouragement, and then unhesitatingly reached out, grabbed a Soul-Guiding Pill, and swallowed it directly.
Instantly, the ten cyclones within his dantian spun wildly, colliding with each other, shattering in an instant, transforming into surging medicinal power that his body greedily absorbed.
This medicinal power traveled along his limbs, bones, and hundreds of meridians, eventually converging in the Sea of Death, nourishing his divine soul.
Li Chengfeng emanated an ethereal aura that captivated the mind, as if he were about to step into a completely new realm.
Li Chengfeng immediately activated the Nine Yuan Rebellion Victory Art, and all the power in his body instantly boiled. His body flickered inadvertently, as if walking between existence and nothingness, his aura changing rapidly like a revolving lantern.
A ten-colored halo appeared above his head, slowly rotating, its speed gradually increasing, eventually turning as black as ink, like the tribulation clouds before the Nine Heavens lightning tribulation, rolling in.
The surrounding spiritual energy, mixed energy, and even all energy were attracted by this power, drawn into the cyclone above his head. The faster the cyclone rotated, the stronger its devouring power became.
The Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor, witnessing this scene, was shocked. He had never seen anyone advance to the Core Formation stage in such a spectacular manner.
Ordinary cultivators advance by slowly inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy, how could they have such momentum? Even when he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in his youth, he had never reached such a terrifying sight. This child is truly gifted, intelligent, and difficult to deal with.
The Old Ancestor no longer hesitated, using a secret technique to cause a special spiritual energy to surge from the entire Sea Eye, gushing out straight into the secret chamber, merging into the cyclone above Li Chengfeng's head.
This spiritual energy contained the profundity and Dao rhythm of the sea, mixed with the resentment of countless cultivators and the precipitation of blood, both bloody and rich.
If an ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage peak cultivator were to receive this spiritual energy灌頂, they would probably explode and die, but Li Chengfeng's body was like a bottomless abyss, greedily absorbing everything.
At the same time, his dantian was also expanding rapidly, from its original ten-odd zhang to a massive hundred zhang in size, its capacity astonishing.
Although outsiders could not know all of this, Li Chengfeng could clearly perceive it.
He knew that his dantian had reached its limit and could not advance any further. Although he felt regret, he was satisfied when he thought that the dantian of ordinary Core Formation cultivators was only ten zhang, and he was already more than ten times that size, so he no longer forced it.
This violent spiritual energy, after being tempered thousands of times by the meridians in his body, finally converged in his dantian, transforming into a surging tide of spiritual power, endless and inexhaustible.
This process was like the compression of the essence of heaven and earth. The Core Formation stage was actually a transformation of Foundation Establishment mana, from a trickle to a solid and impregnable quality.
Imagine, for an equal amount of matter, the liquid state is light as one, while the solid state is heavy as ten. This kind of qualitative change is undoubtedly a leap in strength.
Upon entering the Core Formation realm, the dan fire becomes purer, the flames raging, and the soul can reside within the golden core. Even if the physical body is destroyed, the golden core can still use遁术, escape into the void, and escape from death.
With thousands of spells and boundless power, entering the Golden Core stage is to resonate with the heaven and earth, and the understanding of the rules becomes more profound and complete. This is the root cause of everyone's scramble to climb the ladder of the Core Formation stage.
The Core Formation stage allows one to stand in the air, fly with遁光 without having to step on a sword, and the speed is faster and the strength is stronger. This is a qualitative change, not comparable to a quantitative change.
Advancing to the Core Formation stage not only greatly increases one's strength, but also greatly increases one's lifespan. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators can enjoy six hundred years of long life.
And Li Chengfeng, relying on his own Myriad Laws Unite as One technique, once he steps into the Golden Core stage, actually obtains a lifespan of six thousand years. This is an innate talent, not obtained by plundering others. His cultivation method can be called shocking to the world, and all his cultivations have reached the peak that is difficult to reach in other realms.
At this moment, majestic spiritual power poured into his body, his meridians seemed to be ignited, his cultivation method flowed on its own, every rune shone brightly, and the spiritual power in his dantian was as vast as the sea, increasing day by day.
At first, the Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor still thought that his foundation was deep. After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, even the leap from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, and even the leap from Golden Core peak to Nascent Soul, was only a drop in the bucket for him, no big deal.
However, the scene before him shocked him. He saw Li Chengfeng like an insatiable gold-devouring beast. The spiritual power, blood energy, and soul power accumulated in the Spiritual Contract Sea Eye were disappearing at an alarming rate. This scene was too shocking.
The Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor did not expect that Li Chengfeng's potential and methods had reached this level.
The Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor's eyes changed several times, from solemn to unbelievable, then to sinister, and finally turned into a hint of relief.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will help you this time. As for the result, it depends on your luck."
After saying that, his eyes were bright, and he once again urged his power, causing the majestic energy stored in the Sea Eye to pour into Li Chengfeng's body like a tide.
Li Chengfeng felt the weight on his body, but he just smiled slightly, and then guided this power into his Life Realm Space and Hell Realm Space respectively.
The Life Realm Space was pure and flawless, greedily devouring the pure spiritual energy; while the Hell Realm Space was like a black hole, absorbing all the evil and filth.
As Li Chengfeng's cultivation method circulated, the two spaces continued to expand, one time, two times, three times... until a hundred times, and finally reached an area of ten thousand mu, with mountains, rivers, and all things on the earth, all complete, and the interior was filled with rich spiritual energy.
The power of the Sea Eye was cleverly dispersed and absorbed in this way, and Li Chengfeng himself did not feel any discomfort.
The power in his dantian, after this scouring, diversion, and tempering of the cultivation method, seemed to be constantly tempered by ten rune giant hammers, making the mana more and more viscous, and the prototype of the golden core faintly appeared.
At the same time, the Life Realm Space and the Hell Realm Space were also full of spiritual energy, reaching an unprecedented state of saturation.
The Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor's face changed greatly when he saw this. He had not expected that nearly two-tenths of the spiritual energy and various energies he had stored had been consumed.
He was secretly shocked. Even if a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he would probably not consume such a huge amount of energy.
What surprised him even more was that these energies not only contained the spiritual energy of the sea, but even soul power and other spiritual energies were absorbed by Li Chengfeng one by one, and he did not seem to have refined them at all.
The Soul-Seizing Old Ancestor's curiosity was completely aroused, and he wanted to explore Li Chengfeng's secrets even more.
When the two spaces stabilized and no longer continued to expand, Loulan on the side was already dumbfounded, and the rocking chair fell to the ground.
He lay on the ground, staring blankly at the hot sun in the sky.
He murmured to himself, "Fellow Daoist Li... advanced to the Core Formation stage?
It's really... amazing. It seems that I will never be able to escape from here in my life, and I can only be a gardener in peace."
