On the seventh day after Ye Tian Yun's seclusion in the cultivation space, his dantian finally began to react.
It was already in a liquefied stage, and now the next step was to turn it into a solid core.
Some might think that a core is spherical in shape; however, the truth is, it can be of any shape.
The important and the only thing to note is that the qi must be solid, and it must not expand.
If it expands, then it simply means that the core is incomplete.
Once Ye Tian Yun was able to control the qi in his dantian, the next step in front of him was to turn it into a whirlpool.
After about a few hours of effort, Ye Tian Yun successfully formed a slow whirlpool.
Now, the only step that remained for him was to increase the speed of his whirlpool.
The higher speed and the longer he could keep it up, the better results he would get.
And just like this, a total of six months passed in the cultivation space.
Ye Tian Yun's seclusion was now coming to an end.
…
"Finally."
Ye Tian Yun slowly opened his eyes, and an inexplicable smile formed on his lips.
He was pleased with the hard work he had put into getting to the next stage.
Though he was surprised that it took him more than six months to finish his cultivation in seclusion.
'If I didn't have the Emblem Of Time… I would have ended up wasting a lot of time and good opportunities.'
Thankfully because of the godly artifact, he completed six months of cultivation seclusion in just two months of real-world time.
This was a really good achievement and a big step for him.
In his dantian, there was now a huge purple solid core.
He had successfully reached the Core Formation Realm.
In his previous, it took him about one and half years to go from the Foundation Establishment's First Level to breaking through the Core Formation Realm.
But this time, it took him about three months to jump about thirteen cultivation levels!
If this got out, no one would believe, and even if someone were to believe, they would be blown away by this fact.
Ye Tian Yun's cultivation speed was godly just with the help of the Emblem Of Time. He couldn't imagine how things would turn out once he got his hands on the other artifacts.
'Just the thought of it makes me itch to go back to the Lower Heavens as soon as possible….'
Two months had passed in the Real World.
He wondered about the state of the Lower Heavens and the Gracious Sword Sect.
'Did King Xin and Prime Minister Fang Yuan make their moves yet?'
If those two really did make a move, then there was a high chance that Gracious Sword Sect might not survive…. This was what Ye Tian Yun had thought before Butler Liu revealed Sect Leader Su's actual cultivation realm.
'Sect Leader Su is a Saint Realm Cultivator….'
That guy hid pretty well…
However, it was still a wonder that such a powerhouse ended up dying at the hands of Tri-Qi realm kids in the original timeline.
'It feels as if there's a whole new hidden world right in front of him….'
Butler Liu was a Great Saint Realm powerhouse.
How did he die in Ye Tian Yun's previous life?
If someone asked this question before Ye Tian Yun left the Gracious Sword Sect, he would have said that Butler Liu sacrificed himself and was ambushed by God's Legion.
However, if Butler Liu was really a powerhouse with cultivation in the Great Saint Realm, then how the fuck did God's Legion even touch his hair, much less kill such a man?
It was impossible.
And at that time, the God's Legion members were Nascent Soul Experts, the realm above Core Formation.
'There was only one realm difference, and the opponents, although had a low cultivation, they were still geniuses and could have easily killed a Half Saint REalm cultivator if coordinated the ambush well enough.''
This was the reason why Ye Tian Yun didn't investigate much about the situation around Butler Liu's death.
And then there's the relation between his father and uncle.
Also, the Great Ye Corps….
He felt as if there was a much bigger plot going on, and he wasn't even qualified to know about it in his previous life.
'Sigh…'
Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes and returned to his room.
Because his body had not moved an inch for the last two months, he was currently covered in dust.
However, there weren't any other major problems.
Unlike mortals, cultivators can sit still for months and just focus on cultivation without food, water, or muscle cramps.
And when they wake up, their body doesn't even hurt at all.
Ye Tian Yun dusted himself and called the servants to prepare a bath.
The first person to greet him was, of course, Butler Liu.
"Ah, Crown Prince, you're already out?" He was surprised to see Ye Tian Yun out of seclusion within just two months.
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Take a guess."
Butler Liu shook his head and asked, "Crown Prince, I meant, don't we have to stay there for a long time?"
Ye Tian Yun nodded and sent him a spirit message.
Immediately, the truth dawned upon Butler Liu's face, and he let out a smile, "Ah, this is really a good thing, Crown Prince."
Ye Tian Yun had just said three words in the spirit message - Emblem Of Time.
Hearing Butler Liu's compliments, Ye Tian Yun laughed and then once again asked for a servant to prepare bathwater.
While the servants were preparing water, Ye Tian Yun asked, "Butler Liu, did anything major happen in the past two months?"
Butler Liu paused for a moment and then said, "Well, I don't know where to start from."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Start from something that is directly related to me."
"Ahem, there are still a lot of choices remaining in this," Butler Liu thought for a moment and then said, "Ah, I know that. Well, congratulations, Crown Prince, now the whole world knows about your engagement with First Ling Clan Princess, Ling Feng'er."
