At some point, two wooden cottages and a flower garden had appeared in Nameless Valley.
The deep pool shimmered, the green grass flourished, and clusters of wildflowers bloomed atop the vine-covered roofs. Birds sang endlessly in the mountains and forests, water babbled without cease, and wisps of mist curled upward, making the place seem like a paradise hidden within a grotto-heaven.
Wang Chen sat cross-legged on a rock beside the pool, wholly focused on sensing the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
This was his daily morning practice.
After breaking through to the Golden Core realm, cultivators greatly improved their efficiency in absorbing and utilizing Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. As a result, only places where spiritual energy was highly concentrated could meet the demands of daily cultivation.
When this Nameless Valley had first been discovered, its Heaven and Earth spiritual energy had been barely passable. Wang Chen had only chosen it as a temporary foothold because of its favorable terrain and location.
Yet he had discovered the former occupant's Cave Mansion hidden deep beneath the pool and gained control of the Six Harmonies Xuan Yuan Great Formation within. Borrowing the formation's power, he had opened up a small grotto-heaven blessed land for himself.
Fortunes truly were as unpredictable as the wind and clouds!
The spiritual energy in the surrounding space streamed continuously toward him, pouring in through Wang Chen's top Dantian acupoint, passing through his internal organs and limbs, and finally gathering in his Qi Sea Dantian.
The newly formed true essence was absorbed by his Golden Core, then fed back out again, cycling over and over.
The impurities cleansed during this Great Heavenly Cycle were expelled through the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of Wang Chen's feet.
After completing thirty-six cycles, Wang Chen opened his eyes.
