830 Xuan Wu Divine Form (1/2)
The Ancient Underworld Pearl.
As a Divine Material, it carried Xuanming Qi, which was supposed to be found in Hell and was the most powerful energy there. It would make a Yin Cultivator ecstatic. Such a strong energy had formed this Ancient Underworld Pearl, a Quasi-Divine Material, that had a sea of Xuanming Qi inside.
”Swish.”
A plume of black Xuanming Qi billowed out of the pearl.
The surrounding Essence Qi was condensed and black raindrops fell from the sky. An energy that could freeze people's souls was spread, frosting the ground. This energy could even freeze a Golden Core.
In the meantime, Chen Fan was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed inside the Juehan Palace.
Chen Fan didn't leave right away after getting the Ancient Underworld Pearl. He closed the gate of the Juehan Grotto-heaven to cultivate. There were thousands of years of chilly mist in the area, which became Chen Fan's resource.
Then…
As the Essence Core spinned, plumes of Spirit Qi were gathered from all directions. The Spirit Qi present was more abundant than in normal areas and was more than ten times denser than on Earth. Every time Chen Fan took a breath, claps of thunder were heard and he sucked in Spirit Qi in large amounts.
When the Spirit Qi entered his body, it became True Essence that was added on top of the Essence Core in layers, making the Essence Core spin faster and shine brighter. It even started to show a hint of golden color.
”Immortal Cultivators call it a Golden Core, Buddhists call it a relic, Spirit Beasts call it a Monster Core… They're actually the same thing. It's an energy core inside a body that provides endless power like an engine.”
Chen Fan pondered.
The formation of a Golden Core was different according to the cultivation arts, level and potential of each cultivator. The Golden Core had nine levels. The ninth-grade Golden Core was the best while the first-grade was the worst. Chen Fan was probably able to make a superior-grade Golden Core right then.
”But this is not enough. How would the engine of a racer car be the same as that of a motorized tricycle? Only a super-grade Golden Core can surpass all the Saints and make for a supreme foundation. That's my ultimate goal.”
As he thought of this…
Chen Fan immediately took out the Ancient Underworld Pearl and placed it in front of his chest, gently initiating it with his Dharmic Power.
”Boom!”
Raging waves suddenly appeared inside the pearl and a shadow of the Xuanming River floated in the air. Black water ran in the sky and shook the dimension. There were countless drops of Xuanming Water in the river and each of them could freeze a mountain.
There were thousands of drops which could turn the mountains in a thousand miles into glaciers.
”Whoosh.”
Once this drop of Xuanming Water entered his body, it immediately turned into Xuanming Qi, filling Chen Fan's dantian and turning him black. Frost could be seen through his skin.
His Essence Core spinned.
There was a terrifying suction force on the pearl; it absorbed all the Xuanming Qi in Chen Fan's body.
One drop, two drops, three drops…
As he absorbed more and more Xuanming Water, the transparent Essence Core gradually became black as if dyed with ink; it carried an energy that seemed to have come from Hell.
”A super-grade Golden Core is powerful because it can take in any Essence Qi or treasure in the world. It can also create different kinds of Divine Powers and Dharma Powers. The Dharma Form is also way stronger than that of a normal Golden Core.
”Some people put a flying sword inside their bodies and their Golden Core turns into an indestructible Divine Sword, which is comparable to a Heavenly Treasure. Some infuse the essence of a river into the Golden Core and make a long river. Some initiate the Golden Core with the blood of a Divine Beast and form a Divine Beast Dharma Form, or even become a Divine Beast…”
Only a super-grade Golden Core had that many types of incredible Dharma Forms and Divine Powers, which was why it could be used to dominate the universe.
”And now, I'm going to form a Xuanming Golden Core!”
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
As more and more Xuanming Water was infused into his body, the form of his Essence Core started to change. It went from a ball the size of an egg to a liquid state, becoming a crystal-like black water current in the end.
The black water current was short at first.
Once it appeared, Chen Fan's body seemed to be a bit overwhelmed. His bones let out some crackling sounds, as if the current were carrying ten thousand tons of energy.
”Whoosh.”
The black water current not only ran inside Chen Fan's body, but also appeared around him.
The Xuanming Water flowed in the air, running from one side to the other and forming a ring shape. This black water current could turn into a hundred-mile river to shatter a mountain and crush a Golden Core.
This was a Dharma Form, or a Divine Form, to be exact!
Every Golden Core Cultivator had a Dharma Form, which was the most powerful thing he had. Chen Fan's ability to show the Kun Peng Dharma Form and the Chaotic Divine Tree was a kind of Dharma Form Power. Each Golden Core Cultivator practiced different cultivation arts, that was why their Dharma Form would also be different, but they had one thing in common: All Dharma Forms were illusory, unreal.
