31 Forming the Core (1/2)

Before forming a core, Feng Hui was merely at the pseudo Core Formation stage. In other words, the very beginning of the Bronze Dragon realm. The developments were different comparing the Ancient Dragon Manual to other more 'orthodox' cultivation techniques.

Recalling the laws for forming a perfect core, Feng Hui took a deep breath. In the path of cultivation, there were no shortcuts. If he wished to form a pure-gold core, he needed to increase the level one at a time. Utilizing the leftover vital Qi within his body, he began forming the foundation of a white core.

If one were to make a mistake here, the effects would be devastating. A cultivator's future could be ruined forever; therefore, it was incredibly crucial to take it slow. Fortunately, Feng Hui was experienced in this regard, so he started rapidly forming the core.

Relying on his instinct alone, Feng Hui could complete this 'difficult' process. With his peerless comprehension, the shape of a spherical core was already beginning to form.

A profound look filled his pitch-black eyes. Suddenly, Feng Hui's domineering aura fluctuated. At this stage, the base of the core had completely formed. Currently, he had to fill the core with his vital energy.

Like a vast waterfall flooding a small oasis, his core was rapidly being filled to the brink. A few seconds later, the beautiful white core was becoming full, and it started enclosing.

Like a phoenix undergoing a glorious rebirth, a beautiful white light abruptly shone out of Feng Hui's body, and it sharply pierced the skies. In the blink of an eye, he had finished filling the white core to the brim; he was exploding with pure energy!

With the core formed, Feng Hui was a genuine cultivator at the early Bronze Dragon realm.

The quality of Feng Hui's Qi was becoming incomparably pure. With a beautiful white color, he chuckled at the vast spherical core lying within his dantian. Once he achieved the pure-gold core, his Qi would turn golden and it would be matchless under the same level of cultivators.

”Good.” Feng Hui was feeling the chains on his soul slowly being freed. The restrictions from his fleshy body were becoming less and less. Eventually, he would be able to utilize his full soul power. With a thought, he harrumphed, ”Hmph. Disappear.”

The beautiful white-colored strands flickered through his starry eyes as they surged through his Qi passageways. Slowly, the presence of the system completely disappeared from his mind. Having formed a core, Feng Hui could now freely utilize enough power to make the system disappear without creating any disturbance.

By now, if Feng Hui willed it, he could remain undetected under any random scan. Unless he was purposely targeted for days on end, no one could see through him. With billions of lives on Earth, this was a near non-existent chance.

Everybody in Starryfu could see a beautiful, bright light piercing the skies. Then suddenly, it snappishly disappeared like a bolt of thunder. As if it was never there in the first place. Countless groups questioned whether their minds were collectively hallucinating.

”Mom…” Feng Hui's thin lips trembled. Finally, he could utilize enough of his soul strength to remain fully undetected while probing through the minds of the monsters. It was too risky before. What if there was some trap left in the minds of the monsters like with the domain back in Fudan High?

According to that shameless mistress lover, Xu Tian, his mother had randomly vanished during the apocalypse. What if she had been taken elsewhere...? It was this thought that kept Feng Hui's mind sane! Furthermore, he could not lose himself until he achieved his revenge and secured his little sister's future. The faint likelihood that his mother was still alive… this miniscule chance was a flickering hope that he had to hold onto no matter what!

Reaching the Golden Dragon soul, the equivalent of a legendary Transcendent in the Dragon Kingdom: Feng Hui's soul was accepted by the laws of the Dragon Continent. On Earth, he was still an 'outsider,' but his soul was still instinctively partially accepted by this world's nature due to its cultivated essence.

However, his physical body wasn't. Now, Feng Hui's body was sturdy enough to utilize enough of his soul power to cover his entire being to be 'one with nature'. Using his immense soul power, he could cast an invisible veil over his actions with this ploy.

Fully controlling the laws of the world and being accepted by nature were two completely different concepts! The first was to utilize the rules of the world, while the second was being 'permitted' to live inside a habitat.

Previously, when Feng Hui tried probing for the Immortal's information back in Fudan High, he was stopped by a defense mechanism inside the domain which attacked his soul. Luckily, he managed to brush this off with ease due to his Golden Dragon soul.

Extending his vast spiritual sense, Feng Hui prepared to find the closest monster to investigate. Finally, he may be able to find out the truth behind this apocalypse, and the name of this bastard Immortal. However, his mother's safety was the most important; he would trade anything to have her back in their cozy, tattered home.

Swiftly, Feng Hui locked onto the location of a single lemure hiding nearby within the stadium.

Without hesitation, Feng Hui appeared before the stunned lemure with his peerless speed. In the blink of an eye, a mysterious black-robed man seemingly appeared out of nothingness in front of the dumbfounded monster.

Lifting the tall purple lemure by the scruff of its neck, Feng Hui instantly started probing into its mind. The creature squealed like a trampled dog. Unbeknownst to him, the expression on his handsome face was extremely frightening right now. To the lemure, this was the scariest man it had ever seen. Even within his world's hell, no existence could compare.

Time passed. Within its mind, there were traces of wiped out memories, but Feng Hui swiftly uncovered the darkness. In a flash, he restored the buried memories of the lemure. Uncovering the hidden truths of the apocalypse, his thin lips slowly crept into an arch.

Soon, his eyes widened in disbelief, and a complete blissful smile arose on Feng Hui's face. Just now, he had concluded an excellent discovery. There was a high chance that his mother was safe.

”Hm?” Moments later, Feng Hui's pitch-black eyes shone with a murderous glint. With an evil laugh, his eyes narrowed, ”You're so dead.”

”You won't have to wait long.” Imprinting the golden-robed man's face in his head, Feng Hui's hot blood was bubbling up in rage.
