425 The Perfected Foundation Establishment Realm (1/2)
During this period of collaboration between the black-robed man and Chen Mu, Wang Baole was also reaching a critical stage of his cultivation. At the moment, he was sitting cross-legged inside his secret chamber. His cultivation roared and rumbled inside his body, churning continuously inside him. The fourth Heavenly Thunder was about to be formed!
The Lightning Dao: First Volume allowed him to form the first Heavenly Thunder during the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm and second during the mid-stage. In the late-stage, he was able to form the third Heavenly Thunder. The formation of the fourth Heavenly Thunder meant that Wang Baole was able to reach the perfected Foundation Establishment realm!
If he continued to practice the Lightning Dao: First Volume, when he finally broke through the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, reached the Core Formation realm, and became a Core Formation realm cultivator, he would be able to form a Lightning Core!
The power of the Lightning Core would be immense. Besides being in possession of such power and strength, the Ethereal Dao College would also let him have the next mystic art, the Lightning Dao: Second Volume. This mystic art… could be practiced until one reached the Nascent Soul realm. However, in the few decades of the Spirit Inception Era, no one had managed to do that.
However… within the Ethereal Dao College, the Lightning Dao: First Volume was one of the most appropriate and best mystic arts to practice. Not everyone could master it and had access to it. Only those qualified were able to practice it. The mystic art could be considered one of the more complete mystic techniques. It could bring one towards the Nascent Soul realm!
That was why the Ethereal Dao College had this mystic technique prepared for Wang Baole. To a certain degree, they had placed great hopes in Wang Baole. They hoped that he would be able to travel far on that Dao path. They hoped that he wouldn't only form a Lightning Core, but that he would also form a Lightning Soul!
Wang Baole's speed of cultivation had resulted in his achieving the perfected Foundation Establishment realm within a short period of time. This might have drawn slight attention, but it wasn't something too strange or shocking. The Spirit Inception Era might still be in its dawn, but it was filled with opportunities. There were others with an even more accelerated cultivation speed compared to Wang Baole.
However, to achieve the Nascent Soul realm within a few decades required almost a miracle as well as immense natural talents. Despite suspicions of many about the existence of Nascent Soul realm cultivators in this world, officially, there were none in the Federation.
There must be Nascent Soul realm cultivators in the Federation! Wang Baole opened his eyes abruptly. He could feel the continuous eruptions of cultivation inside his body. Pieces of a puzzle started surfacing in his mind, forming a blurry picture. However, with the increase of his cultivation and the elevation of his status, and with his increased understanding and knowledge of the inner workings of the Federation—especially after his trip to the Martian research facility—his belief regarding the presence of Nascent Soul realm cultivators in the Federation grew stronger.
This matter was still a distant concern to him. Wang Baole quickly set aside his distractions and focused fully on the impending breakthrough in his cultivation. His cultivation continued to churn, and he could feel the fourth Heavenly Thunder rapidly forming.
The path of the Lightning Dao must be taken… however, there's another path that no one else knows about, one that I must travel as well! Wang Baole took a deep breath. At that moment, Dark Fire appeared in his eyes!
The path that no one else knew was… the Dark Art!
He had formed three Dark Fires now. The next step was to fuse the three fires together to create a Dark Core. That… was the Dark Art's journey to the Core Formation realm!
Wang Baole could clearly see his path towards the Core Formation realm. He didn't want only a single Core… he wanted to form Cores using both the Lightning Dao and the Dark Art. He wanted twin Cores!
His twin Cores would allow him to surpass others vastly in the Core Formation realm. His strength and power would surpass his peers in the same realm, like what had happened when he was at the Foundation Establishment realm!
This might prove to be an almost insurmountable challenge to others, but Wang Baole felt that the Divine Armament Catacombs beneath the new city provided him with the perfect environment to achieve his goal!
His spirits soaring and his mood merry, Wang Baole continued to let his cultivation churn inside his body for the next nine days. Finally, a loud roar rumbled inside his head. His cultivation erupted at that moment and reached a breakthrough!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
At that moment, his aura, his energy, his cultivation—everything about him swiftly reached its height of power and strength. It was akin to someone wearing tightly-fitted attire that bound their body tightly, and then continuing to exert force and eat until their body grew fatter and their clothes finally reached their limits—exploding!
As soon as the first set of clothes exploded, they formed a looser set of long robes. Wang Baole felt unimaginably comfortable as he felt an endless source of cultivation inside him unfurling outwards.
This wasn't yet the end of his breakthrough. The moment his cultivation passed the stage of late-stage Foundation Establishment realm and arrived at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, the green lotus inside his body started to quiver violently. It exuded waves of vitality that filled Wang Baole's entire body. His physical body continued to strengthen. Every muscle, every bone, every meridian inside him seemed to be strengthened. Wang Baole's breathing quickened. The sudden eruption sent his vitality and life energy surging, and they reached terrifying heights.
