ng Zhang looked at the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate beneath his feet, his heart filled with an indomitable spirit, a feeling of overlooking the world.
It wasn't easy. The process of forming the core was an unprecedented challenge for ng Zhang, who was full of confidence and well-prepared, facing various life-and-death tests.
Just thinking about the process of breaking through to the Gold Core stage made ng Zhang feel a bit afraid.
In the valley belonging to the Jade Sword Sect, after ng Zhang's closed-door cultivation, he diligently pondered the knowledge about forming the core, fully absorbing the experience and lessons of his predecessors, and spent a long ti adjusting his state of mind.
When everything was in order and all was ready, he began his formal breakthrough to the Gold Core stage.
As a Foundation Building cultivator, his Soul, physical body, and true qi all had to be flawless, and he advanced with an unwavering Dao heart, determined to break through to the Gold Core stage without hesitation.
With his high-grade spiritual root aptitude and exceptional comprehension, ng Zhang had never encountered significant difficulties in his past cultivations.
Whether it was cultivating incomplete techniques or lacking sufficient resources, he was able to overco them gradually with his own strength.
After gaining the full inheritance of the Taiyi Sect at its peak, leading the rise of the sect, and obtaining ample resources, his cultivation base progressed rapidly, making his journey smooth.
For him, the so-called thresholds and bottlenecks on the path of cultivation were practically non-existent.
Without taking Foundation Building Pills, he succeeded in Foundation Building relatively easily.
In his post-Foundation Building cultivation, progress was also smooth, with few obstacles encountered.
In addition to cultivation, he also had ti to practice the Grand Evolving Fortune, a divination technique, becoming a Diviner.
His cultivation base advanced rapidly, yet he never neglected his combat abilities. Techniques like the small Divine Ability "Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword" and various secret techniques allowed him to demonstrate great prowess on the battlefield.
Since embarking on the cultivation path, ng Zhang, who had never encountered significant difficulties, faced an imnse challenge at the crucial mont of forming the Gold Core.
Forming the core was different from Foundation Building. When a cultivator in the Refining Qi stage attempted to break through to Foundation Building, even if they failed, they wouldn't face significant danger. At most, their cultivation base would suffer, and they might sustain serious injuries. It was rare to hear about Refining Qi cultivators losing their lives while attempting to break through to Foundation Building.
However, during the process of forming the core, cultivators faced many dangers. In the worst-case scenario, they might even be in mortal peril.
The various difficulties during the process of forming the core were one thing, but the most significant obstacle was the Heart Demon Tribulation, which almost trapped ng Zhang.
Originally, ng Zhang believed his will was firm enough. His Dao heart was resolute, and his mind was clear, impervious to external distractions.
However, after entering the Heart Demon Tribulation, he faced illusions that made it difficult to distinguish reality from falsehood, affecting his mind.
If a cultivator was ensnared by their inner Heart Demon and couldn't break free, the consequences were unimaginable.
The so-called Heart Demon referred to the flaws and vulnerabilities in a person's spiritual and ntal state, including hatred, greed, delusions, attachnts, and resentnts, among others.
Everyone had their inner Heart Demon, but the vast majority of people couldn't perceive it or subconsciously ignored it.
When a cultivator ford the core, these flaws and vulnerabilities would be amplified a thousandfold. The forrly intangible and formless Heart Demon would beco tangible within the cultivator.
During this process, if a cultivator lost control of their inner self and let the Heart Demon run rampant, they could lose all consciousness and beco a mindless walking corpse. In severe cases, their soul would leave their body, leading to their demise.
Within the Heart Demon Tribulation, ng Zhang encountered countless illusions, including all the experiences of his past lives, attempting to imrse him completely in them.
Nurous extre emotions, pain, hatred, anger, euphoria, joy... all flooded his mind.
ng Zhang used all his willpower to maintain his clarity of mind, preventing himself from completely succumbing to these illusions.
He was like a small boat in an endless sea of suffering, persisting amidst raging storms.
This small boat that went with the flow was always on the brink of destruction, at any mont facing annihilation.
But ng Zhang, relying on his unwavering Dao heart, firmly anchored the boat.
In the most adverse circumstances, he kept his reason intact, refusing to be completely consud.
With the utmost determination, he held onto his consciousness, gradually freeing himself from the illusions, allowing clarity to return to his mind.
After successfully passing through the Heart Demon Tribulation, ng Zhang's mind underwent an unprecedented tempering, as if he had been reborn.
Having prepared spiritual marrow in advance, he didn't need a Third Rank spirit vein.
He quickly absorbed the vast spiritual energy within the spiritual marrow, rging it with his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, successfully forming the Gold Core.
ng Zhang's Gold Core was round and flawless, brimming with vitality.
With such a high-quality Gold Core, he would have even better opportunities for future advancents.
During ng Zhang's core formation, it also triggered intense celestial phenona.
The clouds billowed and the sky changed color, with dazzling golden and rosy lights filling the sky.
The surrounding courtyards were already quite far apart, and the one ng Zhang rented was particularly secluded.
However, such a strong celestial phenonon still alard the neighboring cultivators and the Jade Sword Sect mbers present here.
These cultivators were at most in the Foundation Building stage and didn't dare to act rashly in the face of the core formation phenonon. Even those curious ones who wanted to approach and observe were driven away by Jue Ying.
At this mont, the Jade Sword Sect mbers here displayed the deanor of cultivators from a prestigious sect.
Since they had spent a considerable number of spirit stones to rent this courtyard, as long as they didn't cause damage or negative impact, whatever they did inside was their own business.
Jade Sword Sect cultivators not only had no reason to interfere with the tenant but should also ensure that the tenant wasn't disturbed by outsiders.
With the attitude of the Jade Sword Sect cultivators, ng Zhang, at the crucial mont, was finally undisturbed and successfully ford the core.
From this mont on, ng Zhang beca a Gold Core Daoist Master, and others should address him as Daoist Master ng.
That adult-head-sized spiritual marrow was unexpectedly consud by two-thirds.
Since ng Zhang didn't have a Third Rank spirit vein to use, he would need to gradually absorb the spiritual energy within the spiritual marrow in the future to consolidate his cultivation base in the Gold Core stage.
After successfully forming the core, ng Zhang proactively ended his seclusion. He first thanked the Jade Sword Sect cultivators for their magnanimity and then expressed his apologies to the neighboring cultivators.
Of course, the neighboring cultivators were in awe and warmly greeted ng Zhang.
For a group of Foundation Building cultivators, it was rare to have a chance to interact with a Gold Core Daoist Master in their lifeti.
Now, witnessing a cultivator successfully forming the core, who didn't seem unfriendly, they naturally wanted to get acquainted and at least be familiar with a Gold Core Daoist Master.
As a result, this freshly-fledged Gold Core Daoist Master, ng Zhang, received the first batch of cultivators who ca to congratulate him at his door.
