Just as he was daydreaming, the next illusion was conjured.
This illusion was a horrifying memory from his past when Land Master Guo suddenly transformed into a fearsome demonic creature in the medicine garden. The floods of Demonic Qi, which looked like a sea of blood, engulfed the whole garden.
Inside this sea of blood, he and his kinsmen lost their sanity, their madness leading to a bloody massacre. Only after he had killed all of his people did he regain his composure.
Witnessing this, he collapsed and thought of suicide.
“Boring.”
With a thought from Su Yu, a flash of light swept across the eyes of the jinchai, causing another illusion of reality to shatter.
The third illusion descended.
This time, it was Chen Sisi who appeared. Seeing her enticing figure and appearance, Su Yu was slightly taken aback.
What’s going on with this illusion?
A moment later, Su Yu, wearing a peculiar expression, broke the illusion. Is the Heavenly Dao playing games? This isn’t very nice.
One by one, the illusions descended, each aiming to provoke Su Yu’s inner demons and cause him to fail his breakthrough.
But as each illusion shattered, strands of nature’s divine energy merged with his soul, causing Su Yu’s soul to undergo another metamorphosis.
Three days later.
Accompanied by a huge surge of golden light in Su Yu’s soul, his soul transformed into a golden cicada, which has grown a bit bigger. Two small wings emerged, making it a two-winged golden cicada. A golden light enveloped the cicada, releasing a terrifying aura.
The second tribulation, the Heart Tribulation, was passed.
The third tribulation, the Mana Tribulation—
For ordinary people, it’s a significant ordeal.
But Su Yu, looking at the Five Elements Mana that had gradually solidified into a pill within him, noticed that the pure and flawless Mana did not have a hint of instability.
This third tribulation, the Mana Tribulation, was the easiest.
Another two days passed.
“Bang!!!”
An entirely new aura erupted and spread over Su Yu’s body. At that moment, the force of the cave dwelling trembled and converged, forming the area of spiritual pressure that indicates a Core Formation Realm True Man. This spiritual pressure was slightly different from the one he had forcibly formed with his soul, being more solid and terrifying.
Inside Su Yu’s Dantian, a Golden Core releasing brilliant golden light was fully formed.
The Golden Core was engraved with three withe patterns that were formed from the Heavenly Dao.
Su Yu’s body and soul underwent a complete transformation at that moment.
A potent surge of life force emerged from deep within his body.
The moment the Golden Core was fully formed, a force from heaven and earth descended and entered Su Yu’s body.
This force not only initiated a complete transformation of Su Yu’s body and soul but also filled his Golden Core with Mana.
Quite a while later.
The commotion caused by Su Yu’s breakthrough subsided completely, and the Island Cave dwelling returned to a state of tranquility.
He was taking in the changes that occurred after his breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm.
His soul was stronger than before, making him feel that he might be comparable to a Mid-stage True Man in the Core Formation Realm.
Body
The richness of life force exceeded his expectations. His body was exuding a strange fragrance, as though he had become a delicacy, a valuable medicinal ingredient.
Deep inside his body, Su Yu noticed the formation of another year ring deeply embedded in his body.
He could vaguely feel the existence of the weather-beaten time from this ring.
“The Green Wood Year Ring Skill, I am on the third ring now.” Su Yu thought to himself.
If things continued this way, would he be able to perceive the power of time truly?
Shaking off this thought, Su Yu turned his attention to the Golden Core in his Dantian. He looked at the three withe patterns on the Golden Core and pondered: “So, have I made a Three-turns Golden Core?”
He felt the formidable spiritual pressure and uniqueness of this Golden Core.
A True Dan, despite being incomparable to mana, could sense the presence of the power of heaven and earth.
That qualifies as a mighty practitioner that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could only dream of reaching.
Yet, a True Dan couldn’t compare to a Golden Core.
This primarily lied in the Golden Core’s affinity for the force from heaven and earth.
After manifesting the Golden Core, he could feel the presence of various forces from heaven and earth around him.
Like wind, water vapor, the heat of the sun, and so on.
The entirety of the Five Elements and nearly all celestial forces were perceivable to him.
Moreover, these celestial energies didn’t seem repulsive to him. On the contrary, they seemed very active around him.
This was a feature that a normal True Dan could not compete with.
Su Yu contemplated: “The path of the Golden Core is the path to immortality… The key must be this? The ability to perceive the forces of Mother Nature is a threshold.
“And the Golden Core is like revealing the Dao in front of you, to feed you.”
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Su Yu exclaimed in surprise.
All of this for just a Three-turns Golden Core?
What kind of Golden Core did those prodigious Daozi with natural Five Elements Dao body birthed from Taoist Bing Yu preaching achieve? And what about the other two outrageous talents, one with a natural Thunder Dao body and the other with a natural Enchanting Body?
Could those gifted geniuses achieve a Nine-turns Golden Core?
“In the Ancient Era, Taoist Bing Yu had exhausted all means to step on the Golden Core path, and he finally succeeded, managing to cultivate a One-turn Golden Core.”
“In the years that followed, Taoist Bing Yu evolved his Golden Core into a Two-turns Golden Core through dual cultivation with Taoist Jie and through the refining by his dual forces of ice and fire.”
Su Yu remembered the legacy left by Taoist Bing Yu and fell into deep thought.
In that case, he still had the opportunity to explore the spectacle of a Nine-turns Golden Core.
However, it should be quite challenging.
Su Yu furrowed his brows and murmured softly, “Refine the Golden Core – perhaps, I should enhance the power of the Five Elements Method? Continue to incorporate stronger and more laws, empower the Five Elements Method to evolve, and improve my Golden Core?”
