Chapter 841: Chapter 308: Breakthrough Core Formation, Stirrings of Affection! _2 Lusheng knew that obtaining resources required his own efforts. … Originally, Lu Changsheng was almost ready to return. But now, encountering a breakthrough in Core Formation, he planned to stay a bit longer and observe this Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon. Moreover, at this time, the Qingyun Sect’s Great Formation was operating at full capacity, and although it did not result in sealing off the mountain, it enforced strict checks on all who entered and exited. Three days later. ... Above Caiyun Peak, a vortex of spiritual energy clouds broke through a radius of three miles. “This Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon…” That morning, Lu Changsheng and Zhao Qingqing stepped out of their room, gazing at the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon above Caiyun Peak with some surprise. According to what he had learned from Hong Lian, although the celestial phenomenon during Core Formation did not entirely determine the progress and quality of the cultivator’s Core Formation, it gave a rough idea. For example, if the spiritual energy cloud vortex constantly maintained within a two-to-three-mile radius, it was likely a low-grade Flawed Pill. If it broke through a five-mile radius, it was probably a Middle-Grade True Pill. If it could break through a ten-mile radius, it was likely a Superior Gold Core! In three days’ time, Chu Qingyi’s spiritual energy cloud vortex suddenly encompassed a three-mile radius, indicating a strong foundation, at least a middle-grade True Pill, possibly even a Superior Gold Core! Of course, there were also possibilities of complications arising during the process, resulting in Core Formation failure and the dispersion of the cloud. But through these clouds, one could broadly assess a person’s foundational strength. As time passed, the spiritual energy cloud vortex kept climbing and spreading above Caiyun Peak, eventually covering a surprising seven to eight miles in radius. “This, could Fairy Qingyi actually be condensing a Superior Gold Core!?” Inside the Qingyun Sect, someone exclaimed in surprise. Although Chu Qingyi was a true disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal from Qingyun, condensing a Superior Gold Core was still extremely challenging. “Once a Superior Gold Core is condensed, the future would behold a Nascent Soul Seed!” “That’s true, but within our Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, other than Xuanjian True Monarch, there has not been another Nascent Soul True Lord!” “Our Qingyun Sect doesn’t possess a Fourth-Order Spirit Vein, so breaking through to Nascent Soul would necessitate seeking opportunities outside.” Many people were paying close attention to the situation on Caiyun Peak, keen to know Chu Qingyi’s breakthrough progress. After all, if the Sect could add a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it would be an absolute cause for celebration for Qingyun Sect. They would certainly hold a grand Core Formation Ceremony to celebrate and announce it to the world. Another seven or eight days passed. “Whoosh whoosh whoosh—” The spiritual energy cloud vortex above Caiyun Peak furiously swept across, breaking through a radius of nine miles, nine point one, nine point three… This tremendous activity caused even the latent spiritual pressure hidden by Qingyun Sect’s Mountain Protection Array to start emanating. It made the cultivators of Qingyun Sect witnessing the event feel an intense, invisible spiritual pressure. Especially the disciples and cultivators of Caiyun Peak, who at this moment experienced a stifling, heart-pounding sensation. “This scene…” “Fairy Qingyi is impacting a Superior Gold Core!” “She’s actually condensing a Superior Gold Core!” “If our Qingyun Sect can add a Golden Core True Person, our foundation will significantly strengthen!” At this moment, everyone in Qingyun Sect was profoundly shaken, fixating their gaze on the skies above Caiyun Peak. After all, this was a Superior Gold Core! Red Sun Peak. A magnificent palace. Atop an ancient-looking pavilion, a woman in her thirties dressed in a green Taoist robe, her black hair coiled into a bun, holding a scroll, stared at the scene over Caiyun Peak. “Impacting the Superior Gold Core…” Her slender hands, as pale as white jade, tightly gripped the scroll, her expression solemn and somber. … Another day passed. The spiritual energy cloud vortex above Caiyun Peak finally reached a ten-mile radius. However, this swirling mass of clouds was unstable, fluctuating up and down, causing everyone watching this scene to feel emotionally turbulent. No one knew how much time had passed. “Boom!” The spiritual energy cloud vortex above Caiyun Peak twisted to its limit and exploded with an astonishingly vast spiritual pressure. Then, like a receding tide, the spiritual energy vortex dispersed, leaving only lingering glimmers of light. Amidst heaven and earth, faint sounds of the Great Dao resonated, descending upon the summit of Caiyun Peak. “Has the breakthrough succeeded!?” “Has a Superior Gold Core been condensed!?” “How would I know, this is my first time witnessing a Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon!” “Judging by the movements of this phenomenon, it somewhat resembles the Golden Core phenomena recorded in ancient texts but also not quite.” Inside the Qingyun Sect, numerous people watched the unfolding scene, chattering amongst themselves. As the spiritual energy vortex above Caiyun Peak vanished, Qingyun Sect’s Mountain Protection Array shifted from full operation back to normal. After all, regardless of the force, operating a Great Array at full capacity consumed a vast amount of spiritual energy and was unsustainable in the long term. “Has the breakthrough succeeded?” Lu Changsheng watched this scene and let out a long sigh, feeling quite emotional. He had been closely following these events these past days, and he had to admit, the activity during the Core Formation was incredibly astounding. Far exceeding the disturbances during Foundation Establishment by more than a hundredfold. It also made him realize how difficult it was to gather sufficient spiritual energy through a Second-Grade Spirit Vein and other means to breakthrough Core Formation. Especially to condense a Superior Gold Core, which required an immense amount of spiritual energy. Even an ordinary Third-Order Spirit Vein might not be secure enough, affecting the chances of forming a Core. “Condensing a Core…” Zhao Qingqing stared at the clouds and light above Caiyun Peak, lightly pursing her lips, momentarily lost in thought. Even though she knew she had no hope of achieving Core Formation, nor did she expect to, seeing such a phenomenon still involuntarily sparked in her a shade of longing. … The next day after Chu Qingyi’s breakthrough in Core Formation, Lu Changsheng left Qingyun Sect. He had originally planned to stay only five or six days, but it turned into a month. Once back home, Lu Changsheng explained to Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge why he had been delayed for so long. “Condensing a core…” Hearing this, Lu Miaoge’s beautiful eyes also showed a hint of deep yearning.
