Core Formation (3)
Down the hill, there was a vast meadowfull of tall grasses. Occasionally, a few nightingales would fly past the grasses and settle on a weeping willow tree by the riverbank. Ning Fan climbed up to the summit of a spiritual mountain and excavated his abode for a secluded cultivation.
The excitement he felt ever since they entered the Lost World Tower was replaced with peace and serenity.
Core Formation, I want to achieve Core Formation!
With so many treasures and pills in his possession, he could have formed his Gold Core long ago without fail. The only element that held him back was the heart devil that he was reluctant to cut. He was reluctant to forgo his feelings for the women he loved.
However, after everything he had been through in his journey, an intention of defying the heavens rose in his heart. He no longer feared the heavens, let alone the heart’s devil!
I suppose it would take me around 10 years to form my core. The remaining 310 years would all be used to increase my cultivation realm for as much as possible!
Before he started to have a breakthrough the bottleneck and attain Gold Core Realm, the first thing he did was to cure his injuries from the previous battles.
The Spirit Severing Realm Demon General… The devil cultivators from the Demon Sealing Sect… The self-destructive use of teleportation in the Endless Sea… His injuries were just too severe. If it wasn’t because of the injuries which he suppressed by force, he could have smoothly passed Bei Xiao Man’s test.
If he did not try to fully recover, the probability of forming his Gold Core would become lower.
…
For ten years, he sat up straight in a meditative position in his abode without moving a single limb.
His body recuperated from the cracked bones and superficial cuts. His unstable Sea of Consciousness was also fully restored after taking countless recovery pills! Through the past ten years of treating his wounds, his magic power began to grow a little more powerful.
Ning Fan slapped his storage pouch and fished out a three chi* long black jade ruler. It was known as the Heavenly Measuring Ruler. It was made by taking inspiration from a type of magical treasure from the Four Heavens Immortal World that was used to measure a cultivator’s magic power.
Every cultivator who entered the tower would receive it as a gift if they spend more than a million immortal jade.
With this ruler in hand, cultivators would be able to know the speed of their growth in terms of magic power.
For common cultivators, the higher the cultivation realm, the stronger the magic power. That was the norm in the cultivation world. Ning Fan, however, was an exception. Since he fused his magic power and demon power into one, his total magic power was comparable to an Early Gold Core Realm expert who was on the verge of breaking through to the Mid Gold Core Realm.
Of course, a cultivator’s combat power could not be judged solely on their magic power and cultivation realm. For cultivators who possessed Immemorial Divine or Devil Veins like Ning Fan, they were able to battle with experts who had higher cultivation realms than themselves.
He held the Heavenly Measuring Ruler and squinted his eyes to see the scale on the ruler.
When he rotated his magic power within his body, the body of the ruler glowed and stopped at the sixth unit of the scale. After fusing both the magic power and his demon power, the glowing part raised to the ninth unit.
The unit was only used for measuring the magic power of cultivators who were at Gold Core Realm and above. Furthermore, this unit carried a hidden meaning with it. A single unit of magic power indicated 60 years of cultivation for common cultivators at an environment where spiritual qi is thin like that of a Low-Grade Cultivation Country.
Nine units of magic power signified that he was not far away from achieving the Mid Gold Core Realm. However, it was still worlds apart from a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
In order to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, one has to obtain 50 units of magic power! For ordinary cultivators who do not have any luck in finding pills or treasures, they would need to cultivate at least 3000 years to gain that much magic power. But a Gold Core Realm cultivator only has a lifespan of 1000 years. As such, talent and the cultivation environment determine the end point of a cultivator. Those without unique talents could only hope that they encounter good opportunities like joining a powerful sect or robbing other cultivators and obtain pills and treasures to improve their magic power faster than cultivating…
The required magic power to break through the rest of the cultivation realms above Nascent Soul Realm increased sharply. For instance, a Mid Nascent Soul Realm expert must possess at least a 100 units of magic power. A Late Nascent Soul Realm expert must have 300 units of magic power. In order to break through the Peak Nascent Soul Realm, an individual must attain 1500 units of magic power!
In layman’s term, a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert’s magic power is equivalent to the total magic power of 300 Early Gold Core Realm cultivators… That is the huge difference between the Gold Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm!
As for Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts who want to advance to Spirit Severing Realm, they would need 100000 units of magic power!
Magic power would increase bit by bit daily whenever cultivators cultivate. However, the speed of growth was difficult to discern. Therefore, the Heavenly Measuring Ruler was created to allow cultivators to keep track on their improvements.
Ning Fan then took out different kinds of items that he had long prepared for his cultivation from his storage pouch.
A bottle containing the Primordial Yin blood from the female virgins of Song Country, a cultivation pill obtained from the old ancestor of Hu Clan, Hu Fengzi and a Third Revolution pill – Rainbow Gold Core which could increase the chances of successfully forming a Gold Core. Aside from that, he also possessed a Mid Gold Core Realm Dao Fruit, a Peak Gold Core Realm Dao Fruit and nine Min Luo Fruits!
These items would drastically boost my magic power even after I form my Gold Core!
But it was still not the appropriate time for him to consume them. Ning Fan first had to work hard to perfect the realms of his cultivation methods or techniques.
“Black Devil Spell” is at the peak of the second level.
“Snow Treading Art” is at the peak of the second level.
