Chapter 570: 177 Core Formation Stage Eight Layer_1
The man with blue hair, whose eyes shimmered like whirlpools, gazed at the towering city in the distance. “This city is well-known in the human world of Daqian. It’s called the City of Ten Monarchs. Fortunately, this city maintains a neutral stance among the humans and doesn’t repel the Sea Clan from entering. The human cultivators within are not particularly hostile against us.”
A seductive woman with black hair whispered, “Shall we enter the city to look for them? According to the words of the ancestors, this newly emerged bloodline might have originated from the Ancient Era!”
“Most likely, it’s already fallen into the hands of the powers present in this city. It will not be easy to extract!”
“Despite the difficulty, we must find it; the ancestor has given us a clear command.” The slightly haggard man frowned, “Forget this mere city, even if the influential forces of this land interfere, they cannot prevent the return of our ancient Xuan Turtle Clan’s bloodline.”
The woman glanced at him and said, “What I mean is, if we want to enter this city, we absolutely mustn’t be reckless, especially when we are in the land of the Immortal Mansion, the territory of the human cultivators.”
“If we cause too much commotion, it could bring us a major problem.”
“It would further hinder our search for that Ancient existence.”
Hearing this, the man with blue hair nodded, “Xuan Ji is right. We should first consider how to search and how to deal with possible attacks from the humans, and only then enter the city.”
The members of the Sea Clan discussed the matter meticulously.
Some suggested seeking out the force of the City of Ten Monarchs for help, but this proposal was immediately rejected by the others.
That’s the bloodline of our Ancient Xuan Turtle Clan!
If the human forces and powerful beings knew about this, would they genuinely help us search for it?
They might very well interfere and snatch it for themselves!
Moreover,
What if the Ancient existence is in the hands of the force of the City of Ten Monarchs?
After a long time of discussion,
The several Sea Clan members decided to first disguise themselves as weak human cultivators, infiltrating the city to secretly search. If they manage to find it, they would snatch it and flee. If they failed to locate it, they would devise another strategy.
Reluctantly, their last resort would be seeking help from the human forces.
With the Sea Clan members under disguise, they successfully blended in as weak human cultivators and entered the City of Ten Monarchs. They temporarily settled in a cave dwelling within the city to carry out their search.
As the blood pearl could only provide a rough location and direction of the Ancient Xuan Turtle Bloodline,
After some time of searching, the Sea Clan members were certain that the Ancient Xuan Turtle Bloodline was hidden somewhere in the city.
However, the exact location could only be found through their ongoing search.
Two years later.
At the black market, under the Cloud Pavilion’s secret chamber.
“Buzz!”
Su Yu was enveloped in a golden glow, like a cocoon. Inside the cocoon, time flowed differently from the outside world.
At this moment, he was refining the top-grade spiritual liquid in his body using the Five Elements Method. As the cultivation technique circulated, bountiful spiritual energy transformed into strands of Five Elements Mana, which converged on the bright Golden Core in his Dantian.
On the proficiency panel, the proficiency level of the Five Elements Method slowly increased.
Finally, after half an hour,
Su Yu’s aura subtly evolved and improved. In an instant, his powerful energy exploded, and he began to greedily absorb the surrounding natural spiritual energy.
But solely relying on the spiritual energy from the store’s third grade Spirit Vein, it was clear that it would not be enough to satisfy his cultivational needs.
Therefore, the moment his cultivation increased, Su Yu summoned the low-grade Refining Qi Pot and consumed two drops of the fourth-grade lower-order spiritual liquid from it.
“Boom!”
The magnificent spiritual energy contained in the fourth-grade lower order spiritual liquid exploded instantaneously, like a wild tide inside Su Yu’s body.
The amount of spiritual energy was so vast, even a True Monarch in the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm would take a whole day to refine it completely.
However, in Su Yu’s body, the energy from the fourth-grade lower order spiritual liquid was quickly consumed as the Five Elements Method was rapidly running inside him.
Within a short span of an hour, Su Yu’s aura became stable,
And the boundless spiritual energy contained in the two drops of fourth-grade lower order spiritual liquid was completely refined by him.
Su Yu finally broke through to the eighth layer of Core Formation Realm!
“Whew.”
Su Yu exhaled slowly and opened his twinkling eyes. This breakthrough not only increased his Five Elements Mana strength, but also considerably enhanced his vital energy.
He observed his own body.
With his continuous practice over the years, the third level of the Immortal Body Refinement Realm almost reached perfection. Numerous Immortal Body Refinement Realm markings were deeply carved into his body.
Adding the markings from the first two stages, there were already over ten thousand marks.
For the third stage which required nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine marks, he had already imprinted more than nine thousand three hundred.
Only a little over six hundred marks were left to accomplish perfection!
Just then, along with the breakthrough of the Five Elements Method, the third circle of annual rings inside his body underwent another change, making the Aura of Time richer than before.
Feeling the power and transformation of his body, Su Yu thought to himself, “Even without using any mana, I wonder how many Core Formation cultivators could break my body’s defenses.”
If he went all out in a fight —
Su Yu pondered whether he could confront a conventional True Monarch at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm with his current cultivation at the eighth layer of the Core Formation Realm.
He looked at the Golden Core in his Dantian which still had only seven stripes on it.
