Shi Yin Forms His Core!

Outside the secret chamber, the celestial phenomenon of Core Formation above Cold Moon Peak suddenly collapsed.

The countless ice crystals and snowflakes, now freed from their traction, fell in a flurry, accumulating into a thick layer on the mountain peaks...

The celestial phenomenon dissipated extremely quickly, from its peak to its annihilation, taking only a dozen or so breaths.

The celestial phenomena have dispersed!

"Oh no, this is a sign of failed Core Formation!"

Halfway up Cold Moon Peak, Zhou Yan's face was deathly pale.

The icy snowflakes landed on his shoulders, making him shiver, but he couldn't tell if it was from the cold or from fear.

"Tianle..."

He ran wildly toward the secret chamber, with several members of the Zhou Clan clan following closely behind.

The stone door to the secret chamber was covered with a layer of solid ice, three feet thick. It took the group half an hour of burning spiritual fire to break it open.

The moment the door opened, a suffocating chill rushed out.

The secret room was empty; the floor was covered with a layer of fine ice powder, which reflected a pale, dim light under the spiritual light.

Zhou Tianle's presence was completely undetectable.

In the corner, Shi Yin was curled up in a ball, his grayish-white fur covered with ice shards, looking extremely weak...

He raised his head and let out a weak sob at Zhou Yan.

That voice was filled with grief.

Zhou Yan knelt on the ground, looking at the ice powder in the maze, feeling all his strength drain away.

"The backlash from Heaven and Earth Qi) was too severe; Dao Dissolution... not even a fragment of its body remained."

Zhou Yan murmured something, then everything went black before his eyes. He immediately knelt on the ground and fainted. The ancestor was gone, and Tianle was gone too.

The Zhou Clan family is finished!

The news spread, but the reaction within the Supreme Purity Sect was lukewarm.

It's not uncommon for a Golden Core family to have no successor. Some sighed, some shook their heads, and most just made a few casual remarks before going about their own business.

"What a pity, with Dual Spirit Roots and the Heaven and Earth Qi, it still failed."

"What's so strange about that? The Heaven and Earth Qi isn't omnipotent. The success rate of Dual Spirit Roots Core Formation is only forty or fifty percent."

"The Zhou Household is really unlucky. Their ancestor just passed away, and now their descendants have run into trouble. Tsk tsk..."

The Zhou Clan family's funeral was held in a cold and desolate manner.

Not many people came to pay their respects, but quite a few went through the motions.

The attitudes of the several prominent Aristocratic Clan that used to be on good terms with the Zhou Household have become quite subtle; they still maintain politeness, but the distance between them has widened.

This is the rule of the cultivation world.

With the Golden Core intact, you belong to the Aristocratic Clan. Without Golden Core, you are nothing.

After Zhou Yan finished handling the funeral arrangements, he looked more than ten years older. He sat in the ancestral hall, facing the memorial tablets of True Person Luan Shan and Zhou Tianle, and didn't close his eyes all night.

"Clan leader, what should we do with Shi Yin's spirit beast?"

The elder's question pulled him back from his daze.

"What?"

"Shi Yin, Tianle Master Tianle's spirit beast, is now without a master after the Master-Servant Contract was broken. What should be done with it?"

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment. The contract was broken?

By the way, when the master dies, the servant lives. When Zhou Tianle Dao Dissolution away, the Master-Servant Contract collapsed, but Shi Yin was lucky enough to survive.

However, this point is somewhat questionable.

"No way..."

Once suspicion arose, various guesses flooded Zhou Yan's mind, some even seeming quite plausible...

Just as Zhou Yan was about to order the arrest of Shi Yin.

Suddenly, Spiritual Qi gathered between heaven and earth, forming a massive vortex of spiritual power that enveloped the area, with countless Spiritual Qi flowing like a great river!

"What... what's going on now?!"

Zhou Yan left the main hall and flew into the clouds.

From afar, one could see that on Cold Moon Peak, violent Spiritual Qi was constantly gathering, creating wave after wave of Spiritual Qi shocks.

"This... this is a sign of Core Formation stage!"

"How could this be!"

At this moment, countless people were drawn to the commotion, and all the factions that had previously been pessimistic about the Zhou Household began to observe.

No one expected that the Zhou Household would have a second Core Formation seedling!

now--

The vortex of Spiritual Qi in the sky roared continuously, and the vast Spiritual Qi surged into the mountains below like a tide...

The next instant, a phantom image of a pale giant bear materialized above the sky!

The phantom of the giant bear roared to the sky, devouring the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth like a whale swallowing the ocean, as if it wanted to drain the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of this place dry.

When the phantom of the giant bear dissipated, the Spiritual Power Trial was considered broken.

Immediately afterwards, countless Frost and Snow and Frost and Snow fell from the sky, sweeping across hundreds of miles and covering the entire mountain range. Frost and cold descended upon the world, and wind and snow enveloped all of humanity!

Extreme frost, freezing the earth.

Frost spread across the land and mountains, and countless ice pillars, hundreds of feet high, rose into the sky, turning a region into an icy polar region!

Everyone was eagerly anticipating it.

This second hurdle is the most difficult one in the process of Core Formation. Once overcome, Core Formation is almost guaranteed...

Just as the celestial phenomena gradually became disordered, and there was a hint of collapse.

Roar!!!

A bear's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth!

Between heaven and earth, a giant, pale bear stood tall, its enormous form growing ever larger with the wind and snow.

The wind and snow crowned him, and the Extreme Cold presented him with a royal crown!

Clearly, he succeeded!

The giant bear spat out its Demon Core, which, under the continuous accumulation of Extreme Cold power, eventually burst open, and Demon Core and snow gathered and reformed.

A pure, ice-blue Demon Core once again gathered in the heavens and earth.

When the Demon Core was swallowed by the giant bear, the terrifying pressure of the Golden Core was released without reservation, illuminating the entire sky!

A mighty demon swept across the sky, its aura engulfing thousands of miles.

He rose to prominence and broke through to a higher realm, subduing all directions. All the beasts in the mountains and forests submitted and bowed down, and even countless minor Qi Refining who were at the Qi Refining stage prostrated themselves in submission.

Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators bowed deeply, not daring to look directly at the overwhelming heavenly might!

In the distant sky, countless illusory figures watched this place, witnessing the rise of a new Golden Core and sending their congratulations in voice.

"I, Shi Yin, will break through to the Golden Core stage here today."

"Number: Frost and Snow and Snow!"

"To continue our lord's last wish and to protect our lord's Zhou Clan clan."

"I am willing to fight for Supreme Purity for thousands of years to come!"
