Core Formation

I never expected that I would actually break through.

Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense Projection, like a grove of Wutong Forest rooted in the void.

He felt Spiritual Sense that was three or four times larger than before, as if he were a giant in mid-air, who could clearly reflect the island and its surrounding area in his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness in an instant.

Previously, Chen Mobai's spiritual consciousness in his Purple Mansion Sea had reached its limit. The spiritual consciousness he gained from listening to Meng Huang'er's profound inner voice could only be stored as Wutong Fruit.

But at the moment of breakthrough, his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness was expanded, and Chen Mobai used the Spirit Controlling Technique to transform the Spiritual Sense energy of these fruits into saplings of the Green Wutong Sapling. Then, with the help of the power of the breakthrough, they grew strong and transformed into this thriving green shade.

Chen Mobai felt that the boundaries that had previously bound him no longer existed at this moment, and his Spiritual Sense could continuously extend outward.

Five li, ten li, and finally twenty li away, before they finally felt their strength failing them.

At that moment, an extremely weak gasp rang in his Sea of Consciousness. Chen Mobai immediately began to withdraw his Spiritual Sense and focused his attention on the source of the sound.

The Jade Wutong in the very center is lush and vibrant, but the phantom of a Five-Colored Phoenix lands weakly on the thickest branch and gradually begins to fade away.

It's Meng Huang'er!

Chen Mobai immediately knew who the Five-Colored Phoenix was. She used the Core Formation technique to push the Profound Sound Wonderful Method to its limit, thereby evolving the Great Dao Heavenly Sound, allowing him to hear the Dao Soundtrack at the moment of merging.

It can only be said that it is indeed the number one auxiliary divine skill of the Immortal Sect. The moment Meng Huang'er's Primordial Yin was transferred in, it caused Chen Mobai's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness to shake violently, and cracks appeared in the bottleneck.

However, breaking through the bottleneck does not mean that the breakthrough is successful.

At the most crucial moment, Chen Mobai almost failed. His Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, which had been breaking through, was about to fall back down, and the bottleneck cracks that had been broken through were showing signs of regressing and healing.

Fortunately, he had previously received the Pure Yang Purple Qi from Qin Beichen, which he could use to Core Formation Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill when he reached the Core Formation stage.

With the help of the Pure Yang Purple Qi, Chen Mobai's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, opened up by the Great Dao Heavenly Sound, was gradually stabilized, stopping his regression. Subsequently, with the last remaining power of Meng Huang'er's Primordial Yin and Profound Sound Wonderful Method, he finally crossed the threshold and completely broke through the bottleneck.

Chen Mobai succeeded in breaking through, but Meng Huang'er did not.

Her process of initiating the Core Formation was originally intended to help Chen Mobai hear the Great Dao Heavenly Sound. In the end, disregarding her own depletion of vital energy and Spiritual Sense, she chanted a high-pitched melody as a final push to help Chen Mobai break through, after which she herself declared the complete failure of Core Formation.

Chen Mobai noticed the phantom of the Five-Colored Phoenix dissipate and immediately returned his Spiritual Sense to his body.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Meng Huang'er, pale-faced, collapse in front of him.

Chen Mobai immediately picked up the "Five-Fungus Hundred-Flower Paste" and "Heavenly Fragrance Eight-Treasure Pill" that were placed aside, pried open her cherry lips, and fed them to her.

Then Chen Mobai reached out and placed his hand on Meng Huang'er's smooth, white vest, using the Burning Lamp Burning Technique to help her digest the medicinal effects.

These two Third Grade spiritual pills are indeed extraordinary.

Soon, color returned to Meng Huang'er's pale face, and her rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

The Heavenly Fragrance Eight-Treasure Pill took effect immediately. Meng Huang'er's injuries from her failed breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness were all healed, and she felt her Spiritual Sense recovering rapidly. Only the mental energy lost due to the failed Core Formation could not be restored.

Outwardly, this manifested in the fact that her open eyes appeared somewhat lifeless.

Are you feeling better?

Chen Mobai asked with some heartache, his hand still on her back, continuing to transfer pure Pure Yang Spiritual Power to her, and using the Lamp Burning Technique to help her Dissolving Pill.

"My blood and spiritual energy have mostly recovered, but I still feel a bit weak."

Meng Huang'er spoke the truth and didn't try to put on a brave face. She leaned directly into Chen Mobai's arms, looking so delicate and weak that he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"This must be because you lost something important. Get some rest, I will protect you."

"Um!"

Meng Huang'er seemed truly exhausted. After uttering that word, she immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep in Chen Mobai's arms, who held her affectionately.

Fortunately, Chen Mobai had prepared a bed in order to create a better environment for himself to form his Core Formation. He took the quilt and covered Meng Huang'er with it.

It wasn't until the third day that Meng Huang'er finally woke up, still half asleep, and turned over.

She opened her eyes and saw Chen Mobai sitting by the bedside, not having left. A sweet smile appeared on her face.

"How about it?"

Chen Mobai reached out and grasped her outstretched right hand, asking with concern.

"With the pills you prepared in advance, I basically didn't feel any aftereffects of failing to Core Formation. However, my vital energy and mental state were still somewhat depleted, and I may need to rest for a while."

After examining her own body internally, Meng Huang'er shared her feelings.

She never expected to successfully Core Formation. After guiding Chen Mobai to listen to the Great Dao Heavenly Sound, she used all her Spiritual Sense and spiritual power to play a Phoenix Cry song.

So although she failed to Core Formation, her injuries were not serious because she did not force herself to break through.

She also took two kinds of pills in time, and after a year or two of recovery, probably no one would be able to tell that she had already tried to Core Formation once.

"The Fire Spiritual Qi here is incompatible with the attributes of the Profound Sound Wonderful Method you cultivate. Although the spiritual energy is abundant, it is not beneficial to your recovery. I will send you out first."

Chen Mobai had some medical knowledge, and having already examined her condition using the Lamp Burning Technique, he felt it was best to send her away from here.

"Kindness."

After hearing this, Meng Huang'er nodded gently in agreement.

She knew that Chen Mobai had truly broken through to the Core Formation stage in his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness with the help of the Profound Sound Wonderful Method, and she was even more confident that he could Core Formation without relying on medicine.

Now we can completely treat this gentle and handsome young man in front of us as Golden Core True Person.

So although she really wanted to be intimate with Chen Mobai again, she obediently let him hold her. In a flash of silver light, she returned to Chen Mobai's wooden house with the help of Lesser Teleportation Talisman.

This Lesser Teleportation Talisman was drawn by Chen Mobai himself. The Key to the Myriad Treasures Cave Mansion only teleport people back in one direction, so he prepared this for the convenience of entering and exiting.

Meng Huang'er is currently delicate and frail, which is perfect for her.

Upon arriving at the cabin, Chen Mobai carried her back to the Hilltop Villa.

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Meng Huang'er sat on the sofa, her beautiful eyes shining. She casually mentioned a few dishes she liked to eat, and Chen Mobai immediately went out to buy the ingredients.

If only life could be like this forever.

Looking at Chen Mobai, who was busy in the kitchen for her after returning, Meng Huang'er suddenly had this thought.

But immediately, she shook her head.

He has his bright future, and she has her own path. If they were to become Daoist partners, they might hinder each other. It's better to maintain their current relationship.

Since they are both men and women from the Immortal Sect, it's best not to consider marriage before their cultivation has reached its peak and they've hit a bottleneck.

Thinking this way, Meng Huang'er's previously fluctuating emotions returned to normal.

Just then, Chen Mobai came out carrying a salad.

She smiled and let him feed her, and he naturally treated her gently.

The two then lived together again for six months in the Hilltop Villa.

Freed from the constraints of her Primordial Yin, Meng Huang'er completely let loose, dragging Chen Mobai to various places to the Celestial Sea in revelry and relaxation.

"The Art Troupe is urging me to hurry up."

That day, the two embraced on the sofa on the balcony, watching the sunset. Meng Huang'er pouted, holding Chen Mobai with a hint of reluctance.

For the past six months, she has turned down all entertainment industry activities, but she cannot turn down the performances of the Art Troupe, since she is a staff member and will need to obtain the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill in the future.

Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

If he hadn't cultivated the Longevity Dao Body during this period, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

"Although you have recovered, you should still avoid overexertion."

However, on the surface, he still spoke to Meng Huang'er with a concerned expression.

"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, so we shouldn't get out of bed for the next couple of days."

Meng Huang'er raised her head, her long, slender, snow-white legs straddling her, her bright eyes brimming with allure...

After listening to Meng Huang'er sing for the last two days, Chen Mobai gained a completely new understanding of his past dreams.

You get tired of listening to the same music every day.

It should still be done in moderation.

After seeing Meng Huang'er off, Chen Mobai naturally returned to his Cave Mansion in the Myriad Treasures Cave.

To his shame, Qin Beichen gave him this place so that he could Core Formation, but unexpectedly, after moving in, he didn't formally cultivate for a single day in the six months that followed.

However, this is understandable.

After all, Meng Huang'er had sacrificed a lot for him. He couldn't just turn his back on her and abandon her after his breakthrough in Spiritual Sense, could he? He wasn't a scumbag.

Thinking this way, Chen Mobai's guilt about wasting half a year gradually disappeared.

After all, he hadn't really just been listening to music for the past six months.

After Chen Mobai's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness broke through to the Core Formation level, he would definitely need some time to control the surge in his Spiritual Sense.

Meng Huang'er, who possesses the Profound Sound Wonderful Method, is the best candidate to assist him in adapting.

In the past six months, Chen Mobai has refined, integrated and mastered all the Spiritual Sense he had accumulated in helping Meng Huang'er break through the various minor realms of Foundation Establishment.

Now, his Spiritual Sense power has been completely stabilized at the first level of the Golden Core stage.

Unfortunately, Meng Huang'er's cultivation level has already Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer. Only when she formally Core Formation will she be able to use the Great Dao Heavenly Sound to help him improve.

However, those are things to consider after Core Formation.

Now, the most important thing is to truly achieve the Core Formation.

After breaking through with the help of Meng Huang'er in his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, Chen Mobai was full of confidence in his Core Formation.

He didn't believe that anything beyond this level could hold him back.

After spending three months adjusting his energy and spirit to their peak, Chen Mobai recalled all the preparations for Core Formation. After confirming that there were no problems, he took out the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.

Without any hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.

After the elixir entered his body, it quickly settled into his dantian (energy center) under his guidance.

Then the powerful medicinal effects began to spread, like a surge of energy flowing through Chen Mobai's entire body along his meridians.

The first stage of Core Formation the beginning of the physical transformation of the body.

Suddenly, wisps of red energy gathered above the black island, instantly transforming into bright red spots of light that fell like raindrops towards Chen Mobai, who sat serenely in the center.

This is Fourth Tier High-grade Spiritual Essence, and in addition to these, there is a Spirit Gathering Formation set up with five High-grade Spirit Stone.

One was vast, the other pure! The two streams of spiritual energy converged and fused within Chen Mobai's body. Under the medicinal power of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, they flowed into every cell in strands.

The first to sense this was the Fire Spirit Body that I obtained when I first Dao Awakening Foundation Establishment.

Chen Mobai felt that the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root in his heart, which was usually not obvious, was also beginning to awaken during the process of Core Formation. It was as if a warm current was flowing out and passing through his whole body, which made him suddenly understand the various mysteries of the Fire Spirit Body.

His understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll deepened at this moment.

Besides these, he also gained a unique understanding of the Path of Fire, and he wanted to firmly remember these understandings and make them his own.

Huge, translucent skeletons appeared behind Chen Mobai, indicating that the Myriad Laws Body had been activated at some point.

Within the Myriad Treasures Cave, the vast and boundless Fire Spiritual Qi flowed continuously toward the left side of the spine, near the heart, where the Void Power had condensed, gradually forming a fiery red vortex with a diameter of half a meter.

In the dim light, a heart chamber appeared along with a scarlet blood vessel. The thick blood vessel extended outwards, connecting with the already formed Five Elements Sword Arm, forming a complete energy circulation pathway.

After the Myriad Laws Body was enhanced by the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root and acquired some of the properties of the Fire Spirit Body, Chen Mobai's own physical body also completed its final transformation under the medicinal power of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.

Strands of vibrant green life force burst forth from his bone marrow. This was the Longevity Tree Sap, which had not yet been integrated into his body, but it was being refined most thoroughly during the process of Core Formation.

The moment his physical body completed its transformation, Chen Mobai's First Layer of Longevity Dao Body was perfected, saving him the need for more than ten years of subsequent vitality enhancement to improve his physical activity.

At the same time, the second chamber of the Myriad Laws Body also began to condense under the vast Fire Spiritual Qi, and even a little bit of blue light shone.

This is the liver of the Wood Attribute, corresponding to the aura he exudes after achieving the Great Perfection of His Longevity Dao Body.

However, because there was not enough Wood Spiritual Qi here, the Myriad Laws Body only lit up and flickered twice before failing to take shape.

Chen Mobai didn't care. He let his Myriad Laws Body absorb the rich Fire Spiritual Qi here to condense its heart, while he himself prepared to draw the two great spiritual energies stored in the void of his spine into his body to begin the second step of Core Formation.

After reviewing the contents of the Two Aspects Technique and the Pure Yang Scroll for Core Formation in his mind once again, Chen Mobai gained new insights under the blessing of the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.

Unfortunately, the process of Core Formation had already begun, and he could no longer savor it.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and made a Taiji Seal.

He wrapped his left hand around his right, palms facing inward, and then a blue and red Yin-Yang Fish symbol began to emerge from his palms, enveloping his entire body and most of his Myriad Laws Body.

The cyan color represents Longevity Spiritual Power, while the red color represents Pure Yang Spiritual Power.

At this moment, the two spiritual energies maintained a very delicate balance, because Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense acted as the dividing line between them!

"After twenty-two years of Foundation Establishment, we've finally reached this point!"

Chen Mobai sighed softly, then released his Spiritual Sense.

The moment the Longevity Spiritual Power and the Pure Yang Spiritual Power converged, the Two Aspects Technique, which he had long mastered, began to operate! The originally verdant and bright Longevity Spiritual Power disappeared into the Pure Yang Spiritual Power like firewood.

Like adding fuel to the fire, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power erupted with a dazzling, brilliant red light in that instant.

The blue half of the Tai Ji Yin Yang diagram began to darken, while the red half, like the rising sun, radiated unprecedented light.

Bright Light, like flames, flames like the Red Sun! A tiny, golden speck of light began to shine at the very center of the Red Sun!

Black flies like gold, rabbits run like jade, Three Realms are but a grain of millet.

The mountains and rivers have been covered in dust for years, and Yin Yang have been reversed, entering the mysterious valley.

Chen Mobai recited the contents of the Pure Yang Scroll on Core Formation, using his newly formed Spiritual Sense to control the golden light particle.

The moment his Spiritual Sense probed in, he felt as if he had sunk into water, and the omnipresent sense of obstruction made him feel as if he were wrapped in a layer of restraint.

This is Pure Yang Spiritual Power at the Core Formation level!

It was indeed extremely powerful. If Chen Mobai hadn't broken through his Spiritual Sense, he probably wouldn't have been able to control this power at all.

Even now, as the Pure Yang Spiritual Power continues to absorb the Longevity Spiritual Power and grow, that golden light particle begins to expand, and he gradually feels the strain.

It felt like something indescribable and invisible was pressing down on my shoulders, making every step I took a burden.

Fortunately, he can still bear this burden for the time being.

This is the benefit of breaking through the barrier of Spiritual Sense.

Without this, Chen Mobai would probably have failed at the last hurdle, just as Chen Chun said, because he couldn't control the spiritual power at the Core Formation level.

However, as time went on, especially when the Pure Yang Spiritual Power was about to fully take shape and transform into a Golden Core pill the size of a thumb, Chen Mobai felt that he could not take it anymore.

"Fortunately, the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill used up earlier was not much."

With a thought, the golden pill with more than 70% of its medicinal power remaining in Chen Mobai's dantian began to dissolve little by little into an extremely gentle medicinal power.

Chen Mobai used 20% of the medicinal power to assist in condensing spiritual energy into pills, and sent more than 50% into his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

Like sweet dew, after the medicinal power of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Rejuvenation Pill surged in, the Wutong Forest formed from Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense began to ripen one by one. Soon, Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense broke through again under the fusion of the Spirit Controlling Technique, instantly advancing from the first level of the Golden Core to the Golden Core Second Layer.

As expected of a Fourth Grade pill!

As he was feeling sentimental, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power had completely devoured all the Longevity Spiritual Power. With the addition of the 20% medicinal power, a golden pill, the size of a thumb and as bright as the sun Golden Core, had taken shape.

The process of spiritual energy Core Formation was smooth and natural, without any setbacks.
