Polishing the Golden Core and Peacock Bloodline, Gathering Treasures for the Tribulation
Although he was itching to go to the front lines and test the power of the "Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Formation," Kong Wenxuan was afraid of causing unforeseen complications, so he suppressed his thoughts.
Since he did not want to cause any further trouble, Kong Wenxuan did not stay in the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" for long. He put the "Five Elements Divine Swords" back into his Purple Mansion and set up a "Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Formation" to cover the Golden Core. He began to polish the Golden Core and the Peacock Bloodline within it. He bid farewell to his eighth brother Kong Wenmo and the others and left.
Taking out a Third Tier "Peacock Treasure Boat" that he carried with him, Kong Wenxuan piloted the ship and flew towards "Spirit Taming Pass".
Because the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" was returned to his Purple Mansion and used to set up the "Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Formation" to refine his Golden Core and Peacock Bloodline, Kong Wenxuan was no longer able to fly on his sword. He could only travel by "Peacock Treasure Boat," which slowed him down considerably. Returning to "Spirit Taming Pass" would undoubtedly take much longer than coming there.
However, this place is far from the front-line battlefield and is deep within the territory occupied by the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty". It is a place shrouded in the starry sky transformed by the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram". Even if some Demon Race or Demon Beast occasionally escape into it, they are basically low-level Demon Race or Demon Beast, so it is very safe for Kong Wenxuan.
Therefore, he didn't need to rush. He could fly on the "Peacock Treasure Boat" while simultaneously activating the "Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Formation" in his Purple Mansion to refine his Golden Core and Peacock Bloodline. This wouldn't delay his cultivation or his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan was not in a hurry to continue his journey.
Traveling by boat, he refined his Golden Core and Peacock Bloodline while enjoying the scenery of the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven." He also kept in touch with his uncle and others on the front lines to learn about the battles and clashes between the two sides and to obtain timely information.
Thus, after nearly a month of travel, Kong Wenxuan finally returned to "Spirit Taming Pass". Kong Wenxuan did not stay there for long and went directly back to "Mystic Crane Secret Realm" through "spatial rift".
Upon arriving at the "Mystic Crane Secret Realm," he did not linger. He left the secret realm directly and continued to pilot the "Peacock Treasure Boat" all the way back to Peacock County and his Lineage.
The journey took nearly two months. During this time, Kong Wenxuan was constantly traveling while using the "Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Formation" to refine the Golden Core in his Purple Mansion and the Peacock Bloodline within it.
Back in the clan, after a brief assessment of the progress, it was determined that it would take at least another six months to completely complete the polishing process.
At that moment, Kong Wenxuan simply told the clan leader Kong Changgeng that the clan leader should secretly prepare some items for the tribulation, and then settled down in the clan.
This task of refining the Golden Core and Peacock Bloodline using the "Sword Formation" doesn't require him to invest too much mental effort or attention. Most of it is powered by the "Sword Formation" operating on its own. That's why he was able to refine the Golden Core and Bloodline using the "Sword Formation" while simultaneously navigating the "Treasure Boat."
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan did not need to go into seclusion to cultivate and refine his Golden Core and Peacock Bloodline within the clan. Instead, he could accompany his parents, handle some clan and Peacock County affairs, and continue to refine his Golden Core and Peacock Bloodline with the "sword formation," thus managing to balance his daily cultivation.
Clan leader Kong Changgeng received the news from Kong Wenxuan that he was about to undergo tribulation to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. He was naturally overjoyed, but also filled with solemnity.
The great joy was that as long as Kong Wenxuan could successfully overcome the tribulation and advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, he would be able to lead the clan to a higher level, and even reach the position of "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage.
This was a situation he had never dared to imagine before, and if it could be achieved, he would naturally be overjoyed.
However, the clan leader Kong Changgeng was also very clear about the difficulties and dangers of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. He had also read the "Experience Jade Slip" given by the Luan Household's Divine Lord and was very clear about the various dangers in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Not to mention the inherent failures and dangers of "Demonic Nature Backlash" during the breakthrough process of bloodline cultivators, the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation that must be overcome to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm is enough to kill most Nascent Soul Realm on the spot.
Clan Chief Kong Changgeng didn't know whether Kong Wenxuan, with his cultivation and strength, could successfully shatter his core and form his nascent soul, successfully pass the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation, successfully suppress the "Demonic Nature Backlash," and overcome each and every perilous obstacle.
Although Kong Wenxuan had led his Lineage to create one miracle after another in the past, many members of the Kong Household had complete, even blind, faith in him.
However, as the clan leader, Kong Changgeng led the Lineage to rise step by step from the lowest point of near destruction, and he was undoubtedly much more rational.
He knew that nothing in this world was absolutely guaranteed to succeed.
Unlike the younger generation in his clan who blindly believed in Kong Wenxuan, he would have more worries and consider more issues.
Therefore, after Kong Wenxuan instructed him to secretly prepare various resources, spiritual objects, and methods for overcoming tribulations, clan leader Kong Changgeng, after a moment of surprise and solemnity, began to do his utmost and plan carefully.
He would do everything in his power, even with the full strength of his clan, to prepare as many treasures and methods as possible for Kong Wenxuan to overcome his tribulation and reach the Nascent Soul Realm, thereby increasing Kong Wenxuan's chances of success.
Furthermore, the clan leader Kong Changgeng also knew that the news that Kong Wenxuan was about to undergo tribulation and break through to the Nascent Soul Realm should not be spread, lest it attract any external enemies or interference, thus causing unforeseen complications.
Therefore, he had to do his utmost to prepare the supplies and methods for overcoming the tribulation, and also to conceal these collection activities as much as possible to avoid attracting outside attention.
This undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty.
The only good news is that now is the time for the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" to launch a major counterattack against the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven". Not only are most Lineage and forces in the "True Spirit Realm" drawn to the battlefield of the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven", but it is also said that there are many unusual movements on the front line, which has attracted the attention of various forces.
Moreover, due to the counterattack against the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" war, the trade of various resources, spiritual objects, and treasures is now very prosperous, both within the "True Spirit Realm" and in the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" occupied area of the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven". Some important resources and tribulation-crossing spiritual objects that were rarely seen in the market in the past and would often attract attention from all sides when they appeared have frequently appeared in various markets in recent years. Not only have their prices dropped a lot, but their popularity has also decreased a lot.
Furthermore, the Kong Household has been taking advantage of the situation over the past few years to collect and purchase spiritual objects and treasures for those undergoing tribulation in various markets.
In fact, it wasn't just the Kong Household; many "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, such as the "Fire Crow" Ya Household, the "Spotted Ferret" Hua Household, and the "Lili" Li Household, all had similar arrangements.
After all, they've already reached the "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage level. Which family doesn't have a dream of cultivating a Nascent Soul True Lord and striving to become a "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage? So they'll all collect as many tribulation-crossing spiritual items and treasures as possible.
Therefore, the Kong Household's previous collection and purchasing activities did not attract much attention.
Now, what the clan leader needs to do is to collect and acquire these tribulation-crossing spiritual items and treasures in various markets as quickly and discreetly as possible.
This forced him to make careful plans.
