In a wooden house of the Lingyun Sect, Jiang Yiming was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
He was quietly feeling the changes in his body.
At this moment, the spiritual energy in his body was moving crazily, and his breath was chaotic.
There seemed to be a warm current rising from his sea of Qi.
Jiang Yiming knew that this was the precursor to breaking through to the Core Formation Realm!
He originally thought that he still needed some time before he would be able to breakthrough.
After all, breaking through a major realm was a sublimation of oneself, and was a perfect combination of opportunity and cultivation.
Even the system could only help him increase his cultivation, but not directly help him breakthrough.
Naturally, it was even more difficult to break through by relying on the flow of matters themselves.
He never thought that he would obtain the opportunity to break through just by setting up an array.
“Condense the spiritual energy into a core, and once that is successful, the breakthrough will come,” Jiang Yiming said in a low voice.
This was the process of breaking through to the Core Formation Realm.
The Core Formation Realm was the first big threshold in the path of cultivation.
To be able to condense the spiritual energy into a golden core in the sea of Qi would be considered a successful breakthrough.
On the contrary, failing to condense a core would mean that one had was not fated to reach the Core Formation Realm.
The gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Core Formation realm was like an insurmountable chasm.
Breaking through to the Core Formation Realm meant that one had truly embarked on the path of cultivation.
It was unknown how many cultivators with insufficient talent would never be able to cross that threshold in their entire lives.
Even Jiang Yiming didn’t dare to be careless. He hurriedly circulated the Green Lotus Creation Technique.
“Spiritual energy, compress!” Jiang Yiming’s brows were furrowed and his voice was deep.
The spiritual energy in his body circulated crazily, and his body suddenly became transparent.
Vaguely, one could see streams of spiritual energy flow through the veins in his limbs and his bones.
Finally, all the spiritual energy gathered in his sea of Qi.
A vague phantom of a green lotus appeared above his sea of Qi.
The phantom of the green lotus spun crazily, absorbing all the spiritual energy that was gushing into the sea of Qi.
As the spiritual energy continued to gush in, the phantom of the green lotus started trembling violently.
An indistinct round soul core slowly emerged from the green lotus.
The soul core continued to expand, and as spiritual energy poured in, it gradually became solid.
Jiang Yiming’s aura was also wildly expanding, and a terrifying aura was lingering around him.
Golden light surged out from his body, instantly illuminating the entire room.
A powerful aura continued to pour out, instantly setting off a vortex of spiritual energy.
The surrounding things were all pulled by this spiritual energy vortex, and all the tables and chairs began to shake.
“Condense!” Jiang Yiming gritted his teeth and shouted.
He knew that he was about to successfully condense the golden core.
At this time, it was more and more critical, and he could not relax.
The cores condensed by different people were of different grades.
The more solid the core was, the more abundant the spiritual energy in the soul core would be, and thus the stronger the foundation of the cultivator would be, which would then make the cultivator’s strength after the breakthrough stronger!
Jiang Yiming had always been the type who had far-reaching plans. Thus, to advance further in the future, he was desperately compressing his spiritual energy.
Under Jiang Yiming’s desperate compression, the golden core in his sea of Qi became more solid, and golden light burst out.
His aura also reached its peak at this moment.
A terrifying aura instantly surged out of his body.
Rumble!
The tyrannical aura spread out with him as the center.
It crashed into the wooden house, which immediately shook like it was on the verge of collapsing.
Dust rustled down from the beams and roof of the house as cracks suddenly appeared on the huge wooden pillars.
The entire wooden house seemed as if it would fall apart and collapse in an instant.
...
After some time only did the aura completely disappear.
The golden light in Jiang Yiming’s body also became dim.
A round and full soul core quietly floated above his sea of Qi.
It seemed to contain endless power.
Jiang Yiming’s aura had reached a terrifying level.
Faint spiritual energy circled his body.
At this moment, Jiang Yiming had successfully formed the core!
However, the commotion on him didn’t stop there.
An even more powerful aura suddenly spread out.
With him at the center, the surrounding spiritual energy crazily gathered.
The vigorous and vast spiritual energy poured into his body like a flood.
In an instant, it was as if Jiang Yiming was engulfed by flowing lights.
Wisps of smoke slowly rose from his body.
Impurities were also expelled from his body.
Jiang Yiming’s body was transforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was naturally the unique feature of the Supreme Celestial Demon Body!
When Jiang Yiming broke through to the Core Formation Realm, his physical body automatically synchronized with his spiritual energy cultivation.
In other words, Jiang Yiming was currently a Core Formation dual-cultivator of the physical body and spiritual power!
The improvement of one’s physical body cultivation had always been much more difficult than the improvement of one’s spiritual energy.
Many experts whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Realm only had physical bodies of the Core Formation Realm.
But Jiang Yiming could keep the two in line.
He only needed to spend effort on cultivating his spiritual energy, and his physical cultivation would automatically follow.
This would allow him to always have a huge advantage over those of the same realm!
“Hu!” Jiang Yiming let out a long breath.
His eyes were as deep as the dark night sky.
His entire body was crystal clear like snow, emitting a faint aura.
He clenched his fists and felt the surging power in his body.
“Dual Core Formation Realm!”
Such power made him very satisfied.
[Ding!]
[Notification]: Main mission “breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm” completed!
Upon hearing the system notification in his mind, Jiang Yiming was overjoyed.
[Notification]: Mission “Rise of the Sun” completed, Yin-yang Scripture obtained.
[Notification]: Due to the blessing of the Celestial King’s Privilege, the Yin-yang Scripture has been successfully upgraded to the Chaos Celestial Technique!
Jiang Yiming nodded.
What he cared about most was the reward for completing the mission.
Just as he was deep in thought, the system sounded again.
[Ding — mission triggered]
[Type]: Main storyline
[Mission Name]: Celestial Residence
[Mission Requirements]: The main hall of the sect has been built, but the sect still lacks residences. Player, please build the residences as soon as possible to provide the disciples with a place to stay.
[Mission Reward]: One bottle of Bliss pill.
Jiang Yiming didn’t have much of a reaction after hearing the system’s new mission.
If he wanted to revive the Lingyun Sect, he naturally needed disciples.
If he wanted to recruit disciples, he naturally needed to provide good residences.
If the Lingyun Sect remained dilapidated, who would be willing to come?
Even if the system didn’t issue this mission, he still had to do it.
Now that he would receive a system reward for doing it, there was no reason for him to decline.
“Let’s first look at the reward of the first mission,” Jiang Yiming muttered as he opened his backpack.
With a thought, the introduction of the Chaos Celestial Technique was instantly displayed.
Looking at the long system introduction, even Jiang Yiming couldn’t help but feel stunned.
