For the next 10 days, Feng Yun dual cultivated with girls, and after that, he started cultivation in the training room using a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
After another twenty days, Feng Yun's cultivation reached the critical point only one step away from Gold Core Realm.
The gap between Foundation Establishment and the Golden Core realm was way too great.
For Breakthrough the gold core realm, one has to turn the spiritual sea inside Dantian into the Solid State and form a gold core.
At this time, Feng Yun's spiritual sea almost turned into the solid-state, one more step he would become a Gold Core Realm Cultivator. Feng Yun would have already reached the Gold Core Realm if it was not for the Heavenly Slayer Sword that was releasing the invisible Qi in the Dantian of Feng Yun slowing the process of forming the core.
This did not disappoint Feng Yun but even make him happier, because the invisible Qi released by the Heavenly Slayer Sword was purifying the Gold Core from time to time, to make it more sturdy and mighty.
After one day, a suction force appeared in the sky above the head of Feng Yun, the Spirit Qi of tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones sucked in Feng Yun's Dantian, soon forming a golden core size of a baby fist.
The Gold Core of any normal cultivator at the most size of a thumb and genius cultivators could form double of the thumb size but Feng Yun's golden core was many times bigger.
After all the hidden impurities were eliminated by the Heavenly Slayer Sword. The Core in the Dantian of Feng Yun was shining with brilliant golden light.
"Finally, Gold Core Realm!" As he slowly let out a deep breath, Feng Yun opened his eyes, the bright light in his eyes was like lightning, shining in the dim room.
After a long while, the light in his eyes slowly faded. A confident smile appeared on Feng Yun's face.
Standing up, Feng Yun three out a punch in the air.
Boom!
With a loud sound like a bust sounded when the fist exploded in the air. With new profound strength, Feng Yun was confident to beat the Mid-Gold Core Genius Disciple of the Mystic Heaven Peak in one attack.
Returning to the outer world, Feng Yun started practicing the Swift Shadow Steps.
Feng Yun guided his spirit qi into the entire body with help of the divine sense, he began opening the blocked acupoint in his body, one by one the acupoint opened easily under the control of Feng Yun's divine sense.
After four days, Feng Yun reached the small entry-level in the Swift Shadow Steps, he could travel 50 meters in a second on the ground.
If he cultivated the swift shadow steps to the perfection level, he could travel 200 meters in a second, this speed was not lower than his flight technique.
Amidst a forest in the middle portion of the mountain.
An afterimage, just like a spirit was transversing among the trees.
After another fifteen days of training, Feng Yun had now already cultivated the Swift Shadow Steps to the small accomplishment level.
Right now, he could use Swift Shadow steps to travel a hundred meters in a second, fast as lightning, Feng Yun was moving in the small forest.
...
In the morning, Feng Yun walked towards the inner disciple examination court in the middle of the mountain, today was the day of the inner disciple entrance test, if he missed it today, then he would have to wait for another week. After breaking through the Gold Core Realm one could become Inner Disciple of the Mystic Heaven Peak, but they have to pass the inner disciple entrance test.
In front of the court, the two inner disciples who were on watch duty were standing by the door. They saw Feng Yun coming towards them from afar, the disciple on the left could not help but exclaimed loudly: "He is Feng Yun who won the first place in the outer peak tournament."
Feng Yun's fame has reached to the inner peak already after the tournament.
"Wow, he was a new disciple right, how could he break through to the Gold Core Realm in such a short time." the right side disciple said.
"I think he is the first one to become the inner disciple in the new year outer peak disciples."
Walking to the door, Feng Yun said: "I am here to take the inner disciple entrance test."
"Go ahead! I hope you pass Junior Brother Feng," The disciple said with smile on his face.
Feng Yun nodded with a return smile and took a step and walked into the court unperturbed.
The examination lobby was cavernous, there were nine thick stone columns inscribed with vibrant dragon and phoenix carvings on each side. In the front was a large empty area that had a single thick wooden shelf, below the shelf hung a huge bronze azure bell that was three meters high that looked extremely heavy.
If Feng Yun guessed correctly, this should be the first test of the examination to be an inner disciple.
No matter if it was the Mystic Heaven Peak or any other sect from the great five sects, just reaching the Gold Core Realm was not enough to become an inner disciple, you would also have to pass a few tests. But the test was not difficult, even if one fails the test he could retake the test next month, there are four chances to pass the test.
The first test to be inner disciples was located in this lobby. According to Elder, Feng Yun would have to ring the heavy bronze bell with one punch without using internal spirit qi; if the bell did not make a sound, then he would be disqualified, otherwise, he could go onto the second test.
The bell was a Peak Grade Earth Ranked artifact personally refined the weapon hall master.
This bell was put in the examination hall to test the physical strength of disciples, because many disciples used pills or Orthodox method to hastily break through the Gold Core Realm but neglected the basic foundation of the cultivation.
