These "sword pills" appear to be solid, but they are actually still viscous liquid.
This is the wonder of top-notch cultivation techniques, making the liquid mana develop a tendency to solidify during the Foundation Establishnt phase.
Thus, it saves a great deal of effort during Core Formation.
Not to ntion, the "Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture" allows for a Perfect Foundation Establishnt mana limit of three hundred and sixty-five drops, exceptionally powerful.
It was for this reason that Fang Xing could sense the opportunity for Core Formation just after achieving Perfect Foundation Establishnt.
If it were a cultivator practicing ordinary techniques who had achieved Perfect Foundation Establishnt, they might still need a Core Formation Spirit Item to initiate their own Core Formation process, starting off at a disadvantage.
Boom!
After the last drop of liquid mana rged in, a white-gold Dan Pill appeared suddenly at the center of Fang Xing’s dantian.
The "Rotten Iron Sword" and "Nine Apertures Golden Core" spun around it.
Waves of potent mana surged, suddenly coursing throughout his body, starting another round of marrow cleansing and essence exchange.
Fang Xing circulated mana, silently digesting the majestic dicinal power of the "Golden Core Formation Pill," which made his insides burn as if on fire, with waves of scalding dicinal power rging with the ice-cold mana, just like the process of water and fire smithing a golden core, allowing his already perfect Magic Body to ascend once more.
"High-level cultivators, almost without weakness..."
"Now, even though I haven’t specifically engaged in Body Refinent, this Physique of mine can probably compare with a Second Rank Body Cultivator, right?"
A thought erged within his Divine Sense and then quietly subsided as he wholeheartedly assisted in Core Formation.
After the dicinal power of the Golden Core Formation Pill helped Fang Xing surpass the Body Transformation, more than half remained, which he imdiately infused into the white-gold Dan Pill.
With this assistance, the Dan Pill continued to compress, gradually revealing a true solid form.
True Core achieved!
If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivator witnessing this scene, they would have been thoroughly satisfied.
But Fang Xing was clearly not content.
He guided mana with his Divine Sense, continuously compressing the Dan Yuan within his body, making the Dan Pill shrink in size, but its radiance beca all the more brilliant.
From Lower Stream True Core, ascending to Upper Stream True Core... and then, gradually taking on a hint of gold, achieving the level of Half-step Golden Core!
Strains of wonderful notes erged, akin to the mystical sounds of the Dao, causing one to beco involuntarily intoxicated.
When cultivators form their core, the Fake Core is the least, the True Core is interdiate, the Golden Core is supre!
A true Immortal Golden Core bears a trace of the Golden Core’s Dao essence, a mark of the Dao itself. Even the slightest bit can bring indescribable benefits to future breakthroughs!
Outside!
Atop Snake Tail Peak, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and a strong Spiritual Pressure centered on Fang Xing’s Cave Mansion began to spread outwards.
A colossal whirlpool of Spiritual Energy materialized in the sky, its scope expanding continuously.
Radiant and multicolored, it shimred and dazzled...
"This..."
Upon seeing this spectacle, a Loose Cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt level couldn’t help but display a disbelieving look, "Core Formation Phenonon? Soone is forming their core?"
"Who could it be?"
Instantly, news of soone undergoing Core Formation on Snake Tail Peak spread like a tidal wave across Three Python Mountain.
Nurous cultivators, as long as they were not in closed-door cultivation, stood on high ground, gazing at the extraordinary phenonon above Snake Tail Peak.
Snake Head Peak.
"What? That late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator... has actually ford their core?"
The twelfth Elder responsible for receiving guests looked towards Snake Tail Peak, eyes filled with envy.
"Not only has he ford his core, but looking at this phenonon, he must have been successful in Core Formation, at least a True Core cultivator, incomparable to a Fake Core..."
The matronly third Family Elder of the short woman’s lineage murmured to herself while looking at the distant sky, "According to the family records, a True Core cultivator will have a Phenonon range of three miles, and an Upper Stream True Core affects six miles... The current situation has surpassed a regular Upper Stream True Core, could it be... it’s of Half-step Golden Core quality?"
"That person is definitely not an ordinary Loose Cultivator; he must possess an extraordinary inheritance. Without a place for Core Formation, perhaps we could attract him, to stand against the Daluo Alliance..."
The two Family Elders looked at each other, both seeing the rich envy in each other’s eyes.
...
Snake Formation Peak.
"Soone has actually ford their core, and it’s not a Fake Core, but a True Core!"
Several Foundation Establishnt cultivators gathered together, their faces full of concern, "This might impact our plans..."
"It need not be so."
Suddenly, a man in a purple robe walked out of the hall, surprising the group of Foundation Establishnt cultivators, "Alliance Hierarch..."
The man was the Daluo Alliance Hierarch—Luo Tian!
"Alliance Hierarch, weren’t you at the battlefield?"
One of the Foundation Establishnt Elder Cultivators was shocked.
"Heh heh, I used a trick to sneak back quietly..."
Luo Tian, looking at the phenonon that had surpassed True Core, stood with hands clasped behind his back, "We control Three Python Mountain, with several Core Formation Families supporting us from behind, each with Core Formation ancestors; what is there to fear? How could a newly minted True Core cultivator compare to several seasoned True Core experts? Furthermore... the other party is only renting the Cave Mansion, and may not necessarily aid the Yun Family."
This reasoning was sound and quickly stabilized the hearts of those from the Daluo Alliance.
"Just resentful that this person is forming their core now, disrupting many of my plans; I intended to take advantage of the situation and directly annihilate the Yun Family main line..."
Luo Tian looked towards Snake Tail Peak, a trace of resentnt on his face.
He paid a heavy price and with the covert assistance of several Core Formation Families, he was able to briefly break away from the frontline battlefield.
He planned to secretly return, obliterate the Yun Family, and dominate Three Python Mountain.
But Fang Xing’s Core Formation disrupted all his plans.
Suddenly!
The phenonon at the peak of Snake Tail Peak abruptly changed and expanded once more, the vortex of Spiritual Energy grew beyond ten miles, resembling a funnel that frenziedly consud the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Even the spiritual vein energy from Snake Head Peak and Snake Formation Peak was being drawn over!
Moreover, an exotic fragrance assailed the nostrils, and the sounds of the Great Dao’s faint music seed to whisper in the ears.
"An anomaly ten miles wide! The faint music of the Great Dao! It’s actually an Immortal Golden Core!"
Luo Tian felt as if his spine had been yanked out, all his ambition and grand aspirations were gone.
An Immortal Golden Core!
A Jiedan Cultivator who condenses such a quality core will have a great probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!
Even within a Nascent Soul Sect, one might not appear in centuries!
What virtue or ability did his Daluo Alliance and the Yun Family possess?
"An Immortal Golden Core?"
The sa astonishnt occurred all over Three Python Mountain, as nurous Sound Transmission Talismans flew chaotically.
Fortunately, the location Fang Xing chose was relatively remote, and even though the news spread, it would take so ti for truly powerful cultivators to arrive.
...
Inside the Cave Mansion.
Fang Xing closed his eyes for Internal Vision, and he could already see a ’Golden Core’ in his Dantian.
It carried the Golden Core’s Dao Rhythm, and with every circulation, it swallowed and exhaled a trendous amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, transforming it into Golden Core True Essence.
"If the Mana Barrier had reached this point, it would have been considered passed."
"But Sword Cultivators are different!"
Fang Xing quietly recalled the Secret Techniques from the "Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture" then suddenly his expression hardened, and his hands ford a Sword Technique Dharma Seal.
Whoosh!
Within the Dantian, the Rotten Iron Sword suddenly burst forth, turning into a streak of light, and forcefully contacted the Golden Core.
Crash!
In a flash, the originally calm Dantian imdiately began to boil.
The forrly stable Golden Core undulated, showing signs of breaking apart.
"Stabilize!"
Fang Xing took a deep breath, circulated his evolving Divine Sense, and manipulated his Lifebound Flying Sword to combine with the Immortal Golden Core, forming a special ’Sword Pill’!
The resistance was so great that even he felt almost powerless.
Fortunately, the solution for this very mont was already laid out in the Sword Manual!
"Nine Orifices Golden Core!"
Inside the Qi Sea of the Dantian, the Outer Elixir suddenly erupted with Core Formation Level Mana, forcefully driving the Rotten Iron Sword to combine with the Immortal Golden Core.
Boom!
A sound of a sword cry suddenly emanated from Fang Xing’s abdon, causing a trickle of fresh blood to spill from the corners of his mouth.
When he perford Internal Vision once again, he saw that the original Immortal Golden Core, the Rotten Iron Sword, and the Nine Orifices Golden Core had all vanished.
In their place was an odd, platinum-coloured Dan Pill.
It was slightly translucent with a miniature sword inside, its blade gleaming faintly golden.
Around the Golden Core, the profound sounds of the Dao not only did not diminish but also intensified once again, greatly enhancing the Dao Rhythm of this Golden Core!
"I always feel... this Sword Cultivator’s Golden Core has a quality that even surpasses an ordinary Immortal Golden Core by a notch..."
Fang Xing silently experienced the difference in this Sword Cultivator’s Golden Core, then used the Golden Core True Essence to nourish his Divine Sense, causing his Divine Sense to undergo a wild transformation...
One hundred zhang!
One hundred and forty zhang!
One li!
Two li!
"The Divine Sense limit of a Foundation Establishnt cultivator should be one hundred and fifty zhang, that is, one li..."
"Exceeding one li signifies a Core Formation level Divine Sense, but most True Core cultivators, at the initial stage of their Core Formation breakthrough, have a Divine Sense limit of only one to two li..."
"And my Divine Sense..."
With one attempt, Fang Xing knew that his current Divine Sense limit was three li and an additional thirty-five zhang!
It was almost double that of an ordinary Jiedan Cultivator!
A joyous expression crossed his face, followed by a trace of bewildernt.
The final step of Core Formation, the ordeals of the Divine Sense and Inner Demons, had arrived!
