Night fell.

The river breeze swept around the rocks and gently caressed Yang Xiao, bringing a touch of coolness.

Yang Xiao sat cross-legged beneath the rocks, eyes closed, concentrating his mind. He slowly channeled the Mystic Light within his Mystic Core, carefully guiding it little by little onto the Fire Pattern.

At first, only a faint red light appeared deep within the patterns, as weak as a dying ember, as if it could be extinguished with a single breath.

Then the red light slowly spread along the patterns, illuminating the Fire Pattern section by section.

The Fire Pattern did not suddenly burst into flames, but instead burned inch by inch from the patterns on the Mystic Core, and the heat gathered accordingly.

As the Fire Pattern ignited, the temperature of the Mystic Core continued to rise.

Yang Xiao's blood and qi surged, and a burning pain gradually came from the depths of his Mystic Core.

He kept his mind focused and let the Fire Pattern burn along the predetermined path.

Waves of pain surged up, inevitably bringing with them a mix of emotions, but these were suppressed by the "Soul Cleansing" incantation, allowing him to maintain a sliver of clarity amidst the searing agony.

I don't know how much time passed.

The last inch of the Heaven-Burning Fire Pattern finally lit up.

The entire Fire Pattern was coiled around the core of the Mystic Core, its crimson light floating heavily, like a setting sun pressing down on the heart of the dan.

Before Yang Xiao could even breathe a sigh of relief, the heat within his Mystic Core had already reached its peak, causing him excruciating pain.

Just then, the Canglan Water Pattern stirred.

It seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and took the initiative to draw the Core Illumination Light from the Fire Pattern, then lit up a light blue Core Illumination Light that flowed along the outer edge of the Mystic Core.

Yang Xiao's heart stirred slightly.

Before I could even activate my Mystic Light, the Water Pattern were already readily available.

The burning pain subsided slightly, but the Mystic Core remained heavy and hot, like a piece of thoroughly heated iron.

Yang Xiao followed the trend, guiding the Water Pattern along the outer edge of the Fire Pattern until they were fully lit.

Then, the Sky-Rending Wind Pattern lit up.

A flash of cyan light appeared, not only shining extremely fast, but also amplifying the already formed water and fire Core Illumination Light, causing the Core Illumination Light to rapidly circulate around the Mystic Core.

As the Core Illumination Light accelerated its circulation, the Earth Pill Pattern and Gold Pattern were successively illuminated.

The former settles at the bottom of the Mystic Core, steady and heavy, like a mountain settling down, firmly pressing down the foundation of the Mystic Core.

The latter glowed with a silvery-white Core Illumination Light, condensing at the very tip of the Mystic Core, giving it a sharp and piercing quality.

At this point, Yang Xiao controlled the five patterns and completed their first full coordination.

Buzz--!

The Core Illumination Light from within the Mystic Core naturally emanated outwards.

A crimson Core Illumination Light burst forth from within the Mystic Core, spreading along Yang Xiao's body's energy flow, first illuminating his meridians and Apertures, then shining upon his flesh, bones, and internal organs.

Five-colored rays of light spread out from his body in sequence.

The crimson flames shone on his chest and abdomen, where the heat was at its peak, and his blood and qi surged and boiled within the flames.

The pale blue light flowed along her limbs, suppressing the overflowing flames and preventing the heat from scorching her meridians.

A cyan landscape swept over my shoulders and back, carrying with it a continuous flow of Core Illumination Light.

An earthy yellow light settled on his lower body, stabilizing his posture and energy.

Golden light gathered in his hands, gathering a sharp and fierce aura.

The moment the Core Illumination Light shone throughout his body, Yang Xiao's physique was also nourished by the Core Illumination.

His already formidable physical body was further enhanced, becoming incredibly translucent under the illumination of the Core Illumination Light. His flesh and bones seemed to have been tempered, and even his skin radiated a warm, lustrous sheen.

With a thought, Yang Xiao's Core Illumination Light continued to expand outward.

First, a circle of light and shadow, visible to the naked eye, formed around him, swirling with five colors, and then shone into the surrounding world.

In the instant the scope expanded, all the changes in the world came into his perception.

The wind nearby shifted with the Wind Pattern, pressing the Earth Pill Pattern on the ground into the soil, one by one.

The moisture in the air and the subtle flow of underground water veins are all amplified in the perception of the Canglan Water Pattern.

The sharp, metallic aura swept across the ground and the weapons beside him. The Army-Breaking Spear and the Shadowless Blade simultaneously emitted a soft hum, and a faint light appeared on the blades of both weapons.

The firelight scorched the withered grass and broken wood within the enclosure, causing the grass blades to curl up and the old trees to turn a charred color.

Centered on Yang Xiao, the range of Core Illumination expanded outwards in concentric circles.

Twenty zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Thirty zhang (approximately 33 meters).

One hundred zhang (approximately 33 meters).

After reaching a hundred feet, Yang Xiao felt a heavy stagnation coming from the Mystic Core, and the operation of the five Pill Pattern also became slightly strained.

Upon first entering Core Illumination, he stopped pushing outwards and simply stayed within a range that could be stabilized.

He carefully observed the area within a hundred feet, as clearly as if he were looking at the lines on his palm. He only needed to perform the Core Illumination beforehand, and with a thought, he could instantly draw upon the energy of heaven and earth.

Not only was the response faster than when Pill Pattern, but the range was also larger, and there was a subtle feeling that one was the master of this area.

After the experiment, Yang Xiao slowly withdrew his power.

The five-colored light then receded inward, gradually returning from the world to its body, and finally sank entirely into the Mystic Core.

Night falls once more amidst the rocks and mountains.

Jiang'an Station.

Pei Xuance opened his eyes as he Breath Regulation.

He could see the five-colored light that shot into the sky clearly from several miles away.

He looked in the direction of Yang Xiao's secluded cultivation, his gaze falling on the aura that had been contained in the distance, and quietly sensed it for a moment.

The breakthrough did not escape his notice.

The Core Illumination Light originates from the Pill Pattern, illuminating the body and then the heavens and earth. The aura expands and contracts, disperses and condenses. This signifies entering the Core Illumination Realm and stabilizing there.

But what really caught his attention was the color and range of the Core Illumination Light.

Five-Colored Core Illumination Light! One hundred feet long!

Pei Xuance slowly stood up, his expression unusually surprised.

Leaving aside the color of the Core Illumination Light.

When an ordinary martial artist first enters the Core Illumination, the range covered by the Core Illumination Light is only ten to twenty feet. Those who can maintain a range of twenty feet on the day of their breakthrough are already considered the best among their peers.

Yang Xiao, on the other hand, was a full one hundred zhang tall.

This is beyond the scope of someone who has just entered the Core Illumination; it is even comparable to some of the Demon Suppression General Core Illumination Perfected Stage.

Just how much resources and foundation did the other party have built up beforehand?

Pei Xuance stared at the mountain shadow, silently calculating in his mind.

The range of Core Illumination will increase with the cultivation level, and this hundred-zhang range will definitely expand again and again in the future.

Surpassing oneself is only a matter of time.

He had originally thought that Yang Xiao would need several years to gradually refine his Core Illumination Realm, but now it seemed that he had been too conservative.

The other party's talent was even greater than I had imagined.

That Flood Dragon Core was given to the right person.

A corner of the mountain rocks.

Yang Xiao opened his eyes.

Within the Mystic Core, five Pill Pattern flowed silently: the Fire Pattern in the center, the Water Pattern around the outside, the Wind Pattern passing through, the Earth Pill Pattern at the bottom, and the Gold Pattern in front.

The Core Illumination Light had completely receded, but it could shine out again at any moment.

He carefully checked the state of the Mystic Core and Pill Pattern again, and only after confirming that everything was stable did he feel completely relieved.

The Pill-Pattern Perfection, the Core Illumination Light upon the body, and the Core Illumination penetrated heaven and earth.

After completing the three steps, he had truly entered the Core Illumination Realm.

The initial stable range of the Core Illumination a type of energy field) was within a radius of one hundred zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Yang Xiao knew in his heart that the cultivation of the Core Illumination Realm had only truly begun from this moment.

What needs to be done next is to continue refining one's skills in the realm of Danzhao, expanding the scope of Core Illumination, and taking one step at a time towards the Core Illumination Perfected Stage.

He looked down at his hands.

After the Core Illumination Light faded, the flesh in his palm still had a faint, warm sheen, the marks left by the Core Illumination Light as it had tempered him.

Yang Xiao clenched his fist, feeling the long and powerful force within his body.

He then got up.

With a thought Core Illumination Light enveloped everything, and the dust on his robes vanished completely.
