Qi and Spirit Unite, Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage
Peacock County Seat, on the highest peak of Longevity Mountain.
Kong Wenxuan sat cross-legged, surrounded by several layers of formations, including "Spirit Gathering Formation" and "Mind-Calming Formation" to aid cultivation and breakthroughs, as well as formations for suppression, confinement, and even killing.
Around the highest peak, clan leader Kong Changgeng, second elder Kong Changsen, eldest uncle Kong Yushuo, second Kong Yujin, third aunt Kong Yuyin, eldest brother Kong Wenzhang, and others were all gathered around, looking nervously at Kong Wenxuan, who was trapped in a series of formations on the mountaintop.
After dealing with the "True Spirit Realm" origin reward and the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" merit reward, Kong Wenxuan recuperated and recovered for five months, honing his cultivation, Law Power, and Spiritual Consciousness to the peak of the Second Tier. Having made full preparations, he finally decided to break through on the highest peak of Peacock County Seat and attempt to reach the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage.
The reason why cultivators of the "True Spirit Lineage" bloodline often choose to break through within the Lineage, even though they know that breaking through to a higher realm carries the risk of Demonic Nature Backlash, falling into Demon Beast, and threatening the entire Lineage, is that the success rate of breaking through within the Lineage is often higher, while breaking through elsewhere is more likely to result in failure and falling into Demon Beast.
Take Kong Wenxuan, for example. When he broke through to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage on the highest peak in Peacock County Seat, he was supported by the "Peacock True Spirit Star" above and the starlight hanging down to support his breakthrough. Below, the bloodline of his entire Lineage, who all belonged to the "Peacock Bloodline", also increased his success rate.
In other places, away from the "True Spirit Star" and the influence of their clan's bloodline, it is easier to fail in the breakthrough and even fall into the form of Demon Beast.
Therefore, even for a higher chance of success in breaking through to a higher realm, many bloodline cultivators are willing to risk trying to break through to a higher realm within their Lineage.
The same applies to many bloodline cultivators from "non- True Spirit Lineage". Although they do not have the power of "True Spirit Star" to help them, the bloodline influence of living together in a clan can often increase their success rate in breaking through to higher realms.
Therefore, the head of the "Blazing Fire Bird" Lie Household preferred to attempt the Foundation Establishment Stage within the Lineage's territory rather than go to the secluded cultivation Foundation Establishment Stage prepared by the Du Household in Cuckoo County City.
This is not only due to concerns and suspicions about the Du Household, and the "Bloodline Fire Spirit Formation" set up by the Lie Household in the volcano of their clan's territory, but also because being in the clan's territory, influenced by the clan's bloodline, would increase the success rate of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As for the six Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivators from the three servant cultivation Lineage of Yan Household, Ma Household, and Yun Household, their choice to break through and attempt the Foundation Establishment Stage on Longevity Mountain in Peacock County Seat, rather than returning to their clan's territory, was due to a greater number of factors.
There were several factors at the time, including the fact that the three servant Lineage ' ancestral lands were still far away in "Cuckoo Town," which was too far from the "Peacock County" that was being developed; their concern for the safety of their Lineage lands; and the fact that after receiving the projection imprint of the "Peacock True Spirit Star," they could be more influenced by the power of the "True Spirit Star" and have a higher success rate when they broke through here.
As for Kong Wenxuan, he did not choose to leave Peacock County and hide in a secluded place to try to break through to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage. Instead, he chose to go into seclusion on the highest peak of Longevity Mountain in Peacock County Seat to try to break through to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage.
This was partly to increase his chances of successfully reaching the Purple Mansion Stage, and partly because he had enough confidence in himself.
Having inherited the "Five-Colored Divine Light" and having honed his cultivation to the Second Tier limit, Kong Wenxuan had great confidence in his breakthrough and advancement.
Furthermore, there was a "Five-Colored Divine Light" suppressing him in his Sea of Consciousness, and he believed that he would never be Demonic Nature Backlash in the "Peacock Bloodline" and fall into becoming Peacock Demon Beast. Even if he failed to break through, it would not endanger his Lineage.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan felt very reassured about choosing to pursue his breakthrough in seclusion on the highest peak of Longevity Mountain in Peacock County Seat.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the "Peacock Secret Realm" is affected by the "Peacock True Spirit Star," and is currently only Second Tier secret realm that can only accommodate and withstand the cultivation of the Second Tier Foundation Establishment Stage, and cannot be used to break through to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage; otherwise, he would have been preparing to break through to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage on the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak" in the "Peacock Secret Realm."
However, the clan leader, the second elder, the eldest uncle, the eldest brother, and others were clearly not so at ease, so they set up multiple arrays around the place where Kong Wenxuan was in seclusion.
The Second Elder Kong Changlan, Second Aunt Kong Yujin, and others have even activated the Third Tier treasure array "Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation" to protect Peacock County Seat, and prepared the Third Tier beast-taming Stone Disc Turtle, the Third Tier beast-taming black tiger demon Demon Beast, etc. If they find anything wrong, they will take action against Kong Wenxuan, who has fallen into Demon Beast, to ensure that Peacock County Seat and the Lineage are not harmed.
Kong Wenxuan ignored the concerns of the clan leader, the second elder, and others, and instead focused all his attention on his own internal affairs, specifically on his Dantian, qi sea, and Sea of Consciousness.
Breaking through to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage is both difficult and easy. It involves merging the Dantian Qi Sea and the Sea of Consciousness to form a "Purple Mansion," and then fusing the Law Power in the Dantian Qi Sea with the Spiritual Consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness to create Spirit Law. There is spirit within the technique, and technique within the spirit. It is the merging of Qi Yuan and Shen Yuan from the three elements of essence, Qi, and spirit.
It can be said that the process of unifying essence, energy, and spirit is divided into two steps in this "True Spirit Realm": the Purple Mansion and the Golden Core.
The main reason is the influence of the bloodline power contained within the essence.
It is said that in the early days of the "True Spirit Realm", the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit were united without the distinction between the two stages of the Purple Mansion and Golden Core. They were directly united and formed the Golden Core.
However, during this cultivation and development process, it was discovered that directly combining the three elements to forge the Golden Core makes one susceptible to the influence of the bloodline power within the essence. Not only is the success rate of forging the Golden Core by combining the three elements quite low, but it is also more likely to suffer the Demonic Nature Backlash within the bloodline power during the breakthrough, thus degenerating into Demon Beast.
Therefore, through the cultivation, research, and development of generations of "True Spirit Lineage" bloodline cultivators, a method was gradually developed to divide the process of combining these three elements to forge the Golden Core into two steps: the Purple Mansion and the Golden Core.
Instead of pursuing the simultaneous fusion of essence, energy, and spirit, the focus is now on uniting energy and spirit to forge the Purple Mansion and integrate Spirit Law.
Once this "Purple Mansion" has been sufficiently refined, and the "Spirit Law" within it, which combines Qi and spirit, has been properly cultivated, then the most dangerous and difficult essence containing bloodline power will be integrated into it to forge the Golden Core.
This will greatly reduce the difficulty of forging the Golden Core, increase the success rate of forging the Golden Core, and also greatly reduce the danger of Demonic Nature Backlash in the bloodline power.
It can be said that since the cultivators of the True Spirit Lineage bloodline in the True Spirit Realm developed the three-elemental integration step of the Purple Mansion and Golden Core stages, the number of Golden Core True Spirit Realm cultivators, the number of mid-level and high-level cultivators, and the overall strength of the True Spirit Realm have all been greatly improved.
It could even influence the battle between the "True Spirit Realm" and other worlds beyond the heavens.
At this moment, Kong Wenxuan had carefully examined his Dantian and the Law Power power within it, as well as his Sea of Consciousness and the Spiritual Consciousness within it, multiple times to ensure that everything was correct and that he had refined and mastered it to a high degree.
The five "Five Elements Divine Swords" suspended in the Dantian have now absorbed and refined a batch of Second Tier Five Elements spiritual materials, replenishing the losses they suffered in the previous battle with the martial artists of the "True Martial World".
With everything prepared, Kong Wenxuan didn't even need to take any elixirs; he directly activated the Five Elements True Scripture he was cultivating, and stirred up the "Five Elements Divine Swords" in his Dantian.
The next moment, the "Five Elements Divine Swords" was arranged into a "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation" in the Dantian, which merged with the entire Dantian, directly sweeping up the entire dantian and the Law Power within it, transforming into a five-colored sword light that shot straight up and entered the Sea of Consciousness.
Subsequently, the five-colored sword light dispersed and transformed back into the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," which also merged with the entire Sea of Consciousness.
Through the transit and connection of the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," the "Dantian Qi Sea" and "Sea of Consciousness," which are in harmony with the sword formation, also gradually merge during the operation of the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation." Through the carving, shaping, and polishing of the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," they gradually fuse into a "Purple Mansion" where five-colored sword light flows.
Meanwhile, the Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness within the sword formation gradually merged together during the process of integration, shaping, and refinement in this "Purple Mansion," under the operation of the "Five Elements True Scripture" and the refinement of the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation." Qi and spirit united, and magic and spirit merged, transforming into the power of "Spirit Law" where magic contains spirit and spirit contains magic.
The whole process went very smoothly.
