Chapter 2090: Chapter 692: Ling Zixiao Breaks Through to Core Formation, Azure Phoenix True Monarch Gives Birth to a Daughter! Two months later. The Spiritual Vortex in the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven rolled endlessly, then suddenly solidified, as the Dao Xi Yin resounded, echoing within the Changsheng Hall. "Immortal Golden Core, resonance of the Great Dao." Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, as he gazed at Ling Zixiao before him. Though her Dao Foundation was not as strong as Lu Miaoge’s, lacking the "Tai Yi Life Water Technique," her temperament, perseverance, and talent surpassed Lu Miaoge’s. Moreover, relying on the Co-Cultivation Magical Treasure [Divine Fiend Diagram], she fully unleashed the power of the Dragon Roar Physique, thus directly condensing the Immortal Golden Core! "This is the Immortal Golden Core." Ling Zixiao held her breath, saw her Qi Ocean Core through Divine Sense, and on the Dao Platform, the twelve-radiance, glass-like Immortal Golden Core left her in a daze, as if she were dreaming. Core Formation! She broke through to Core Formation! Moreover, she condensed the most superior Immortal Golden Core! Even though Ling Zixiao had many experiences and a firm Dao heart, at this moment she couldn’t help but be moved with excitement. Rather, it was precisely because of the arduous journey, and the many hardships endured, that the breakthrough to Core Formation felt so precious. "Congratulations to my wife Zixiao on achieving the Immortal Golden Core, the Great Dao is within reach in the future!" Lu Changsheng, seeing his wife’s excited and joyful expression, held her hand and congratulated her with a smile. For any cultivator, breaking through to Core Formation is an occasion worthy of joy and celebration. Especially for Ling Zixiao, who was already gifted but delayed by the Dragon Roar Physique, stalling for many years. "Thank you, husband...." Ling Zixiao opened her bright and beautiful eyes, her graceful and elegant face full of joy and excitement. "As I’ve said, we’re husband and wife, no need for many words, and in fact, achieving the Immortal Golden Core is also due to your own efforts, Zixiao." Lu Changsheng knew that Ling Zixiao had a bit of competitiveness in her nature. She didn’t want to rely on him for Core Formation, likely because neither Lu Miaoge, Xiao Xiyue, nor Meng Xiaochan had done so either, she wanted to prove herself. Ling Zixiao gave Lu Changsheng a playful glance, then quietly nestled into his embrace. Being able to achieve the Immortal Golden Core, aside from her own talent, couldn’t have been done without the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, Five Elements Spirit Fruit, Sun and Moon Essence, as well as the Divine Fiend Diagram and Lu Changsheng’s "Sun Moon Samsara Technique." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞 Without the Divine Fiend Diagram, this Co-Cultivation Magical Treasure forming a yin-yang balance with the Dragon Roar Physique, she would have been unable to unleash its potential. She might have even perished under the explosion of the Dragon Roar Physique, just as she nearly did during her early Foundation Establishment. "It’s just Core Formation, merely the first step in cultivation, the road ahead is still long." Lu Changsheng gently held his wife, knowing she felt a sense of unreality, he spoke softly. "Nascent Soul... Divinity Transformation..." Ling Zixiao murmured with her ruby lips, without saying much, but her bright eyes held a sense of expectation and longing. The two shared a tender moment for a long time, before Lu Changsheng indicated that Ling Zixiao should stabilize her Cultivation Realm. Though the Immortal Golden Core realm is stable, unlike the Low Quality Mixed Core, which can easily lead to an unstable realm and defects or cracks in the core, if possible, it’s best to stabilize properly. Otherwise, any hidden dangers arising from it could be deeply regrettable. "Mm~" Ling Zixiao replied softly, though she longed to remain in Lu Changsheng’s embrace, she calmed her mind, and began to stabilize her realm, experiencing the mysteries of the Golden Core. Breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation involves a similar kind of baptism and transformation akin to Qi Refinement breaking through to Foundation Establishment, enabling a Nascent Soul cultivator’s physical body, even without much cultivation, to match a Second Rank Body Cultivation, pure and unblemished. Seeing her husband leave the Cave Mansion, Ling Zixiao looked at the Immortal Golden Core in her Qi Ocean Core, still somewhat dazed, as memories flashed through her mind like a passing show. As a child, she was adopted by an eccentric, who taught her cultivation due to her exceptional talent, paving a smooth path for her. She always believed she was destined to become a highly revered Nascent Soul Immortal, but during her breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, the dormant Dragon Roar Physique manifested, nearly costing her life. A top level Spiritual Body, coveted by countless cultivators, had become a death sentence on her cultivation path, turning her smooth road into one filled with thorns and difficulties. She began to search everywhere for a way to survive and resolve the Dragon Roar Physique... until she met Lu Changsheng. Recalling their acquaintance, then returning with him to Qingzhu Mountain, Ling Zixiao found it somewhat amusing. Back then... she was completely resigned to her fate, even taking a long shot as if it were her last chance. Of course, his handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor caught her off guard with talk of love at first sight, which she found rather interesting.... Who knew that a whimsical decision, like a butterfly flapping its wings, would directly impact her destiny... ... "Changsheng." As soon as Lu Changsheng stepped out of the Changsheng Hall, a voice as gentle as water called out to him, it was Lu Miaoge in a simple white dress. She had been staying at Bi Lake Mountain during this time, so she naturally sensed the commotion of Ling Zixiao’s breakthrough to Core Formation. "Sister Miaoge." Lu Changsheng looked at his wife and immediately went forward to hold her. "Did Sister Ling achieve Core Formation?" Lu Miaoge inquired with concern. "Yes, successfully broke through." Although Lu Miaoge was gentle and unassuming by nature, like water, Lu Changsheng didn’t mention anything about the Immortal Golden Core. "It’s been tough on Sister Ling over these years." Though Ling Zixiao occasionally showed a stronger side, Lu Miaoge still admired her greatly. Whether in the early days at Bi Lake Mountain, or in these times at the Great Dream Immortal City, Ling Zixiao had given a lot, which led to delays in her cultivation. In contrast, she had more time to devote to cultivation. "It’s been tough for Sister Miaoge and the others as well." In Lu Changsheng’s view, though Ling Zixiao handled many things, Lu Miaoge also constantly helped maintain the relationships between Ling Zixiao, Lu Miaoyun, Xiao Xiyue, and others. Moreover, she frequently cared about and inquired after the many children in the family. While he, as a father, had been busy around the world for many years and scarcely paid attention beyond Lu Wangshu and a few others.
