470 Spectating (2/2)
The entire process continued for six hours. As the explosive waves of Spirit Qi gradually died down, Wang Baole's body returned to normal. He slowly opened his eyes, looking confused. At the same time, an incredible pain spread throughout his body, and he uncontrollably groaned in discomfort.
The three Artifact Spirits who were beside him initially had disappeared before he regained consciousness.
As he screamed painfully, Wang Baole struggled to climb up. He shuddered when he recalled the scene just before losing consciousness. The sensation of sourness and spiciness frightened him. Right now, his first instinct was to give up, but at that moment, he widened his eyes. He felt that the petal that was originally on the green lotus inside his body had become a lotus that was in the process of blooming!
It's effective! Wang Baole was pleasantly surprised. He hurriedly stood up and activated his cultivation. As he waved his hands, flashes of lightning transformed with a frightening sound. After gauging its force, Wang Baole concluded that his skills in exhibiting the Lightning Dao cultivation technique as someone who had perfected Foundation Establishment realm cultivation had improved. It was akin to a pseudo Core Formation realm cultivator, without him needing to use the power of the Dark Core.
This was the result of just half a pill!
That made Wang Baole extremely happy. He gritted his teeth as he picked up the other half of the pill and swallowed it. Then, he immediately stiffened, gripping his throat and falling onto the floor as he screamed painfully. He convulsed as he lost consciousness, and the three Artifact Spirits reappeared as spectators then…
”He's godly!”
”What a ruthless person!”
”How strong!” The three Artifact Spirits discussed amongst themselves. Seeing that Wang Baole wouldn't die from it, they disappeared before Wang Baole regained consciousness.
In this manner, Wang Baole began his torturous cultivation process. It wasn't that he didn't want to swallow a pill whole. In reality, he felt that he should proceed in small steps. If he was too forceful, he might just kill himself in the process by accident.
In reality, Wang Baole was correct to think this way. If he really swallowed the entire pill in one go, he might be able to survive, but he would definitely injure his body. Taking half of it at a time like he was doing allowed his body to absorb it. Even though it was painful, there would be no consequences.
Therefore, after swallowing the two pills, the lightning in Wang Baole's body struck continuously. As the lotus flower went into full bloom and the lotus seed head appeared, a Lightning Core was produced from within the lotus seed head!
A Core Formation aura that had a characteristic of lightning instantly emerged from Wang Baole's body. It spread in all directions, and the sound of his laughter reverberated amidst his excitement.
Wang Baole didn't know if there were other people like himself who had managed to produce two cores. However, after trying it out, he realized that the two cores were like a transit point. As his Spirit Qi seeped into the Lightning Core lotus seed head, the lightning that was produced gave off a force that was similar to a Core Formation realm cultivator with a lightning characteristic.
When it seeped into the Dark Core, everything was activated. The force that belonged to the Dark Core instantly spread.
The two parts interacted with each other. Even though the process was still not smooth, it seemed that as long as the body got used to it and as he grew more familiar with it, Wang Baole could interchange his Core Formation power according to his preferences during battle!
At the same time, there was also a change that surprised Wang Baole, and that was the high concentration of the Spirit Qi and meridians in his body. The meridians and Spirit Qi had been unleashed once previously when he achieved a breakthrough and reached the Dark Core stage. When the meridians spread, the Spirit Qi had also been boosted. Right now, what he did was similar to having spread and boosted his meridians and Spirit Qi twice!
That made his combat powers exceed that of his peers significantly, despite him still being an early-stage Core Formation realm cultivator!
After realizing this, Wang Baole was extremely delighted. In his happiness, he began putting away all the items and decided to leave the barrier. He was in high spirits, and as the three Artifact Spirits watched him with respect, he emerged out of the barrier and stepped into the underground passageway of the city. Wang Baole patted his tummy arrogantly, taking out his voice transmission ring to send a voice transmission to the Martian Colony Governor. However, the Governor didn't pick up, so Wang Baole decided to leave a message.
”Governor, I, Wang Baole, didn't disappoint your expectations. After months of seclusion, I've reached a breakthrough in my cultivation without any difficulty. I've entered… the Core Formation realm!”
