It Had Finally Come

Seven and a half years after entering Dream Trace Immortal Valley, Dongfang Jintang had, just as she had said she would, cultivated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

That day, Dongfang Jintang went to Jiang Ping'an's Xuanji cave abode.

"Ping'an, I've reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm," Dongfang Jintang said bluntly.

Jiang Ping'an took out three jade boxes and said, "I've already prepared your Core Formation Treasures. Take them."

In Dream Trace Immortal Valley, as long as one had merit points and spirit stones, obtaining rare cultivation resources was much easier. After confirming what kind of Golden Core Dongfang Jintang intended to form, Jiang Ping'an had begun preparing the corresponding Core Formation Treasures.

Dongfang Jintang could not help feeling touched, surprised, and delighted. Yet, ever sparing with words, she only said two words, "Thank you."

Then, she accepted the three jade boxes containing the Core Formation Treasures.

"I look forward to your successful Core Formation," Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

If Dongfang Jintang became a Golden Core True Lord, cultivating together with her should increase his cultivation speed somewhat.

Dongfang Jintang said, "This month, I'll stay here with you."

"Sure," Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

The risks of Core Formation were even greater than Foundation Establishment. In particular, after forming one's core, one immediately had to face three layers of lightning tribulation, making it all too easy to die and have one's Dao vanish.

That night, Jiang Ping'an and Dongfang Jintang indulged in boundless passion upon the cloud bed.

Jiang Ping'an did not use the Ode to Yin-Yang Bliss. The benefits he gained were small, and Dongfang Jintang could not endure much of it either.

A month later, Dongfang Jintang left the Xuanji cave abode, preparing to enter seclusion and form her core.
