Forming the Golden Core Again

Night fell.

Two Sacred Beetle Gu sneaked into the nest of the Flying Cloud Beast King.

For the past sixteen years, the Sacred Beetle Gu have had an ample supply of Beast Brocade Pill, and Song Wen has also been feeding them meatballs from time to time.

The Sacred Beetle Gu's strength has grown rapidly, and they have all advanced to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

The Flying Cloud Beast King, who was fast asleep, was suddenly awakened.

When it saw that two Sacred Beetle Gu, whose strength far surpassed its own, suddenly appeared before it.

"Chirp..."

Startled, the Flying Cloud Beast King let out a piercing cry.

Its cry echoed across half the island.

The sight startled countless weak demonic Demon Beast and ordinary birds and beasts, who scattered and fled in all directions.

Startled, hundreds of Cloudflying Beast flapped their wings and flew towards the top of the cliff.

The cry of the Flying Cloud Beast King suddenly stopped.

This was because, while it was crying out, two Sacred Beetle Gu took the opportunity to burrow into its mouth and travel down its esophagus into its abdomen.

The Flying Cloud Beast King realized that these two tiny insects were beings it could not afford to provoke. It dared not cry out again, for fear of enraging the Sacred Beetle Gu.

It lay trembling in its nest.

The enormous bird's eyes were filled with terror, as if it had seen its natural enemy.

At this moment, hundreds of Cloudflying Beasts had already surrounded the Flying Cloud Beast King's nest.

The Cloudflying Beast, lacking intelligence, saw that their leader was unharmed and detected no enemies. Cloudflying Beast slowly dispersed and returned to their respective lairs.

A Sacred Beetle Gu crawled out of the Flying Cloud Beast King's belly, flapped its wings, and flew towards Song Wen's cave abode.

After flying several meters, it suddenly stopped and looked at the Flying Cloud Beast King.

The Flying Cloud Beast King trembled all over, lying motionless in the bird's nest.

The Sacred Beetle Gu flew several more feet and saw that the Flying Cloud Beast King was still lying in its nest and had not followed.

It suddenly turned and charged towards the Flying Cloud Beast King.

The Sacred Beetle Gu slammed into the Flying Cloud Beast King's hard skull.

The massive impact caused the Flying Cloud Beast King to suffer a splitting headache and feel dizzy and disoriented.

It discovered that the Sacred Beetle Gu had not continued its attack, but instead flew several more feet away and hovered in mid-air, as if waiting for it to catch up.

At this time.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through its abdomen; the Sacred Beetle Gu inside was gnawing at its internal organs.

The excruciating pain instantly jolted the Flying Cloud Beast King out of its daze. It stood up, flapped its wings, and leaped out of the nest.

It followed the guiding Sacred Beetle Gu and flew several feet away.

The abdominal cramps disappeared immediately.

The Flying Cloud Beast King realized that these two powerful insects wanted him to follow them.

It dared not resist and followed the guiding Sacred Beetle Gu to the center of the island.

Just as the Flying Cloud Beast King landed on the ruins, a protective array suddenly appeared, imprisoning it within.

The Six-Harmony Demon-Locking Formation!

Song Wen's figure appeared within the formation.

He used the spirit beast contract technique he obtained from the Beast Taming Sect, attempting to forcibly sign a spirit beast contract with the Flying Cloud Beast King.

The Flying Cloud Beast King instinctively wanted to resist.

The sudden, sharp pain in its abdomen, along with the powerful Divine Sense erupting from Song Wen, instantly brought it back to its senses.

The person before it was beyond its ability to resist.

Without signing a contract, death is the only outcome for it.

The process of contracting the Flying Cloud Beast King went very smoothly, taking less than a quarter of an hour.

After completing the contract, Song Wen was able to communicate with the Flying Cloud Beast King through his Divine Sense.

Song Wen made only one request of the Flying Cloud Beast King: all the prey captured thereafter must be piled up on the top of the cliff.

After Song Wen devoured the Demon Beast's soul and Essence Blood, the remaining dried corpse was then fed to the Cloudflying Beast.

Furthermore, from this day forward, the Flying Cloud Beast King can no longer remain in its lair, waiting for offerings from the other Cloudflying Beast.

It must go out daily to hunt prey.

Generally speaking, the relationship between a spirit beast and its master is one of equality and mutual benefit.

The master provides resources to the spirit beast, and the spirit beast serves the master.

The master cannot force the spirit beast to do things against its will.

But in Song Wen's hands, the Flying Cloud Beast King undoubtedly became the oppressed and enslaved party, with no equality whatsoever.

Nevertheless, the Flying Cloud Beast King dared not resist in the slightest.

It was extremely docile and obeyed all of Song Wen's commands.

As the only second-tier Cloudflying Beast, the Flying Cloud Beast King enjoys extremely high prestige within its clan.

With the help of the Flying Cloud Beast King, Song Wen gained control of the entire Cloudflying Beast clan.

After that.

Every day as the sun is about to set.

Song Wen would appear on the cliff top on time, devouring the accumulated sea beast Essence Blood and souls.

His cultivation speed has been greatly improved.

However, this caused great suffering for the Cloudflying Beast clan.

The dried-up sea beast corpse, whose Essence Blood had been devoured by Song Wen, had lost all its Essence Blood, and the spiritual power contained in its body had been reduced by more than half.

Furthermore, it tastes terrible, like chewing wax.

After a while...

The number of flying dragon beasts gradually began to shrink.

With the help of the sea beast's Essence Blood, Song Wen's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds.

Thirteen years later.

Song Wen was diligently cultivating himself inside the cave abode.

Suddenly.

The spiritual energy vortex of the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> suddenly expanded to more than double its original size.

The spiritual energy within the vortex also became more abundant and solid.

He broke through to the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage using the "Corpse King Blood Refinement Art".

Song Wen continued his arduous cultivation in the cave abode for another six months, stabilizing his cultivation level before ending his seclusion.

Song Wen was in a great mood.

He was one step closer to forming his core.

He stepped out of the cave abode and discovered that there were fewer than a hundred Cloudflying Beast left.

This was the result of Song Wen's nearly two-year seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage, allowing the Cloudflying Beast to recuperate and recover.

If Song Wen had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage a few years later, this Cloudflying Beast clan might have faced the danger of extinction.

For the next five years, apart from occasionally Alchemy, Song Wen devoted almost all his time to comprehending the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art> in preparation for forming his core.

The Corpse King Reincarnation Art was split in two, becoming the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art Technique and the Longevity Art.

With his understanding of the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> and <Longevity Art>, Song Wen found it particularly easy to comprehend the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>.

After five years of study, while I wouldn't say I've grasped all the essentials of the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>, I've certainly Cultivation Method about 70-80% of it.

During this period, the cultivation of the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> gradually settled and stabilized.

That day.

Song Wen went into seclusion again, aiming to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Prior to this, he had given it much thought and thoroughly understood the entire process of Core Formation.

First, he needs to convert the spiritual power of the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> into Law Power.

Secondly, he activated the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>, Law Power the Law Power <Longevity Art> and the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> into one.

After taking the Golden Core Pill again, Golden Core was formed.

Finally, there is the tribulation of the heart.

Having gained experience from the previous Longevity Art, the conversion of spiritual power from the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art into Law Power was particularly smooth, taking only four months.

After completing this step, the cultivation levels of the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> and <Longevity Art> within the Dantian truly reached a balance.

Song Wen immediately began to circulate the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>.
