True Person Chengye: Sun Chengzu!
Inside the Sword Tomb.
Sun Chengzu sat cross-legged on an ancient sword covered in rust, his eyes slightly closed.
He had lost a lot of weight, perhaps due to years of pressure, which had made him lose his youthful vigor and instead become more composed.
His cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones were prominent, and his Daoist robe hung loosely on his body.
But his eyes were brighter than ever before; his life had been full of ups and downs, and he had experienced several lows.
But he remained Boulder, his resolve as firm as iron!
The spiritual energy in my Dantian had been repeatedly refined over the past few years and had already been condensed to its limit.
The Sword Dao is no ordinary path.
Other cultivators, when Core Formation, tend to adopt a harmonious and balanced approach when condensing their spiritual energy.
The spiritual power of a sword cultivator naturally carries a sharp edge, as pure as a blade. If one is not careful when controlling or releasing it, one will injure oneself.
Sun Chengzu constantly sought enlightenment, and after years of careful reflection, he finally tamed this sharp edge and made it his own.
Today, he finally has a better chance of success.
With Dual Spirit Roots and the Heaven and Earth Qi, there is theoretically a 30-40% chance of success, but if one's Dao heart Tongming and flawless...
The success rate can also be increased slightly.
For cultivators, breaking through to the Golden Core stage is a 30-40% chance, and even if it's a 100% chance of death, many people would still try to force their way through.
Go and fight for that sliver of hope!
"Phew~"
Sun Chengzu exhaled a breath of stale air, focusing it in his Dantian. He then straightened his back and carefully sensed the energy flow between heaven and earth...
"Let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea of spiritual energy in his Dantian began to surge violently, and thousands of Sword Qi rose from the depths of the spiritual energy, rushing and roaring through his meridians.
In an instant, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn in, forming an extremely vast vortex of Spiritual Qi, and the celestial phenomenon of Core Formation was revealed to the world!
The first challenge: the Spiritual Power Trial.
Sun Chengzu remained calm and the entire process of compressing spiritual energy went much more smoothly than expected.
Sword Dao is inherently sharp, and when it is concentrated, it needs to be deliberately guided to gradually remove impurities and press layer by layer towards the core.
A moment later.
The sea of spiritual energy in his Dantian collapsed into a fist-sized vortex. Within the vortex, there were faint metallic sounds, ringing and clanging, like hundreds of longswords clashing within it.
The Spiritual Qi vortex above the sky continuously converged into his body until it solidified into a physical form!
Spiritual Power Trial passed.
Without pausing, Sun Chengzu took out the long-sealed Sword Dao Heaven and Earth Qi.
The moment he grasped the Heaven and Earth Qi, Sun Chengzu finally understood what "destiny" meant.
The energy of the Sword Dao Heaven and Earth Qi resonated spontaneously with the spiritual energy vortex in his Dantian the moment they came into contact.
Like water and milk blending together, they melt upon contact!
No guidance or refinement is needed; it seems as if the two are inherently one.
The compatibility is too high.
It was so high that even Sun Chengzu himself hadn't anticipated it.
The process of the Heaven and Earth Qi merging into the Dantian is so smooth as to be almost uneventful.
There was no pain, no struggle.
That wisp of energy seeped into the core little by little, following the pathways of the spiritual energy vortex, and completely merged with the spiritual energy...
The celestial phenomena outside also changed accordingly.
Above the Sword Tomb, dark clouds rolled, and Sword Qi filled the sky, cascading down from the clouds, while white light cascaded down like a waterfall, covering the sky and the earth.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, every blade of grass and every stone trembled and hummed.
That was the universe resonating with it!
Yun Du suddenly looked up, his eyes reflecting the Heavenly Sword.
"The energies are merging, peaceful and undisturbed." He murmured, "The Heaven and Earth Qi are almost fully integrated; only the Core Condensation remains."
Zhao Yanshan stood atop a mountain, his fists clenched, the veins on his forehead throbbing twice, clearly showing his excitement!
On the hilltop.
Lei Zhen let out a deep bear roar, as if cheering on the people in the Sword Tomb. All the Demon Beast factions also looked on.
The Lord Rat slightly opened its mouth, its heart already churning with turbulent waves.
He was both worried and hoped that Sun Chengzu would succeed, but at the same time, because of the conflict between humans and demons, he did not want the other party to succeed.
My heart was filled with complex emotions, yet I could only silently observe the celestial phenomena.
Inside the Sword Tomb.
The Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic and earth eventually merged with Sun Chengzu, Core Embryo condensed. Then came the final stage: the condensation of the Golden Core!
This is the final stage. Although it is not as dangerous as the second stage, it should not be taken lightly.
The Core Embryo of the Dantian began to take shape, a Dark Gold ball of light slowly rotating at the center of the spiritual energy vortex.
The surface of the light cluster was covered with fine patterns, which were the Dao patterns of Sword Dao, spreading outwards in concentric circles like tree rings.
Sun Chengzu focused intently, channeling the last bit of spiritual energy into the Core Embryo.
The Core Embryo trembled suddenly!
A burst of Dark Gold light shot out, spreading in all directions from Sun Chengzu's Dantian, carving countless marks on the stone wall with Sword Qi.
Immediately, the entire Sword Tomb trembled.
The ancient swords that had been sealed away in the Sword Tomb were now humming one after another, responding to the newly formed Sword Dao Golden Core.
"Condense!"
Sun Chengzu suddenly opened his eyes, formed a Dao seal, and induced the Golden Core to completely solidify.
The Core Embryo rippled continuously, like the surface of water, before countless golden rays suddenly appeared, marking the beginning of its final transformation!
The Golden Core slowly took shape, its Sword Qi carrying the essence of Heaven and Earth Qi.
Clang!
A clear, melodious sword cry emanated from the depths of his Dantian, piercing through his body, the stone walls of the Sword Tomb, and the entire mountain peak, soaring straight into the Yunxiao!
The white waterfall of Sword Qi above the sky suddenly contracted at this moment, and millions of sword lights converged into the phantom of a hundred-foot-long sword, hanging high in the sky.
The phantom of the longsword slowly descended and disappeared into the Sword Tomb.
Golden Core, complete!
Sun Chengzu lowered his head, looking at the Dark Gold Golden Core in his Dantian, which was quietly rotating, its terrifying sword aura spreading throughout the world.
The Sword Dao- like patterns on Dan's face were so sharp they were almost blinding.
He exhaled a breath of bloody stale air, then threw his head back and laughed loudly.
The laughter was a mixture of laughter and tears; the pent-up frustration of years of seclusion, the torment of more than a decade, and the heavy burden of three generations poured out at this moment.
After a maniacal laugh, Sun Chengzu closed his eyes, sensing the immense spiritual power flowing within his Golden Core; his aura was already unlike anything he had ever felt before!
From this day forward...
He was no longer just the clan leader of the Sun Clan, the one carrying the tattered flag.
He is still Golden Core True Person.
Honorific title: Chengye!
The moment the stone gate of the Sword Tomb opened, a powerful aura of Golden Core energy poured out from it.
Sun Chengzu walked out, looking gaunt and with his Daoist robe torn in several places, but his back was ramrod straight and his aura was sharp and incomparable!
Yun Du was the first to go forward.
The old Sun Chengzu's eyes were a little red. He patted Sun Chengzhu on the shoulder and said, "After so many years, my White Cloud Temple can finally be considered to have a successor!"
"My White Cloud Temple originated from the way of the Sword Dao. After more than a hundred years, the Sword Dao Golden Core has reappeared. I can say that I have lived up to the expectations of my sect and my ancestors."
Sun Chengzu bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will always remember it."
Don't give me that.
Yun Du his hand, looked him up and down a few times, nodded, and smiled broadly, "Sword Dao Golden Core, extremely difficult to achieve."
Your breakthrough proves you have the talent.
He didn't say anything more.
"Go back, there's a lot of work waiting for you in the sect."
The future is in your hands!
The powerful demons on the distant mountain peaks also dispersed.
Lei Zhen, leading the two Lightning Bear, headed towards Purple Firmament Peak. Kuang Dou nodded slightly and silently departed as well...
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
The birth of the Golden Core in the Sun Clan will inevitably lead to their rise, and the two branches of the Rat Race under the Lord Rat will also benefit from it. As for the Zhao Clan family that he has his eye on, although they are also considered wealthy and powerful.
However, without the Golden Core, he was ultimately considered inferior in the eyes of the Ancestor.
At this moment, the Lord Rat jumped onto Shuang Yu's back and patted it on the back.
"Shuang Yu, you're gone."
Where to?
"Of course we're going back." Lord Rat glanced in the direction of the Sword Tomb, clicked his tongue, and said, "Now that Chengzu the Golden Core stage, things will be very different at White Cloud Temple."
"There's still a lot to arrange after this."
Shuang Yu slowly stood up, shook her head, and carried the Lord Rat towards the Northern Mountain Range, compared to the black dog and the rat tribe.
They belong to the five branches of the Xiong family, so they don't feel any sense of urgency.
In particular, the Frost and Snow Line, to which Shuang Yu belongs, has now produced a Golden Core ancestor, although this ancestor has never returned to the clan.
But the status of their Frost and Snow Line has skyrocketed!
Once an insignificant figure, he has long since become a core member of various branches of the Demon Race, interacting with figures like Lord Rat, and holding a position above Kuang Dou and Xiong Shan.
There is no difference in rank between it and the other branches of the bear family.
And White Cloud Temple.
From then on, the era of three Golden Core cultivators presiding over one sect began, and this day will also mark the beginning of the rise of White Cloud Temple!
To become White Cloud Temple, recording the beginning of a glorious era!
