Chapter 428: Core Condensation Realm! (1/2)

Lin Mu opened his eyes in the Sleepscape as they slightly glimmered.

”Excellent!” Xukong said.

”You knew this was gonna happen?” Lin Mu questioned.

”With your foundation that is extremely stable, it was merely a question of time.” Xukong chuckled.

”Hehe…” Lin Mu laughed a little bit as well before hearing senior Xukong speak again.

”Anyways. Congratulations on becoming the youngest cultivator to ever reach the core condensation realm in this world.” Xukong spoke.

Only now did, Lin Mu realized the reality. The publicly known person who held the record before Lin Mu was none other than the crown prince of the Great Zhou Empire and he had reached the core condensation realm at the age of twenty. But Lin Mu on the other hand was still about sixteen years old and his birthday was still six months away.

Lin Mu's eyes lit up as he reveled in this achievement for a bit before calming down. He now wanted to see the difference in his body and sat down cross legged and chanted the severing heart sutra. Almost immediately he felt his meridians that were being filled with spirit Qi that flowed like a river.

Lin Mu trailed down to his Dantian and saw his core that floated there. The core looked vastly different from what Lin Mu had seen before though. It did not look pale white like that of Hei Yingjie's core. Instead, it was a silvery grey, almost the same color as that of the mysterious ring.

But that was not all, there was also a pattern printed on his core.

”This… The Great Slumber bear?” Lin Mu muttered.

”Indeed, the bloodline had been fully assimilated by your body. And due to the uniqueness of the bloodline skill 'Well of Slumber' it has presented the bloodline crest on your core.” Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu opened his eyes upon hearing senior Xukong's words and had a question pop in his head.

”Wait, senior you mean the pattern that is on my core, it can be in different places as well?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes. Depending on the type of beast the bloodline belongs to, the bloodline crest will appear on different parts of your body that correspond to the ability. Since the well of slumber corresponds to the cultivation, it has appeared on your core.” Xukong explained.

”Ah… I see now, senior.” Lin Mu nodded his head in understanding.

He closed his eyes again and checked his capacity for spirit Qi. Unlike before, his Dantian was almost completely empty and only the core could be seen floating in the center of the Dantian. His entirety of liquid spirit Qi had been condensed into this one core and could now contain even more than before.
