Chapter 1677: Chapter 565:
There is only about a year left until the pioneering war begins.
As news of war comes from Yue Country and Liang Country, the entire Jiang Country Cultivation Realm is awash with a tense and restless atmosphere.
Now, if loose cultivators have not signed up to participate in the pioneering war, it is difficult for them to enter the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts.
It’s not that the Four Great Immortal Sects do not allow it.
Instead, over the years, the Four Great Immortal Sects have sent disciples to lead loose cultivators into the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to familiarize themselves and conduct military training.
Meanwhile, various family forces have also sent Foundation Establishment Cultivators to lead their descendants for training and familiarize themselves with the situation.
This has resulted in the entire periphery of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range being cleared and developed, leaving no place for ordinary loose cultivators to mingle.
Although countless loose cultivators, filled with passion, flock to the marketplaces under the Four Great Immortal Sects and the Azure Phoenix Immortal City to sign up for the pioneering war, seeking a future.
But many loose cultivators still choose to avoid disaster and come to the Great Dream Marsh.
Therefore, in recent years, the Great Dream Immortal City has become even more bustling and lively.
On this day, above Cloud Dream Mountain, at the heart of the Great Dream Immortal City, winds suddenly rose and clouds surged, changing the color of the sky and earth.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the area seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, converging towards the peak’s cave mansion, forming a visible spiraling vortex of spiritual energy.
"Is someone attempting a breakthrough to Core Formation!?"
The nearby cultivators sensed the situation and stopped in their tracks or stepped out of their rooms or caves to look up at the celestial phenomena above Cloud Dream Mountain.
"Who is attempting a breakthrough to Core Formation?"
"The celestial phenomenon is majestic, filled with radiant light, lacking any demon qi, it’s not the formation of a False Core but a breakthrough to a True Pill!"
Though all three great Immortal Cities of Jiang Country can facilitate breakthroughs to Core Formation.
Cultivators attempting such breakthroughs are rare, seen only once every few years.
And aside from those with no hope for the future, making a desperate last-ditch effort, most are forming a False Core.
Nevertheless, seeing this Core Formation anomaly, the Immortal City cultivators engaged in lively discussions, their eyes showing yearning, awe, and envy.
After all, a breakthrough to Core Formation is the desire and lifelong pursuit of countless cultivators!
Regardless of success or failure, it commands respect!
Once successful, even a low-quality Flawed Core grants a lifespan of five hundred years, overlooking the vicissitudes of the world.
"This celestial phenomenon has a forceful, unstoppable momentum, indicating this person’s solid foundation is extraordinary!"
"When did the Great Dream Marsh produce such a cultivator?"
Within the Immortal City, there are quite a few False Core cultivators.
They discerned a distinctive flavor from this celestial phenomenon.
As time passed, the noise of the celestial phenomenon grew louder.
Cultivators from both the Inner City and the Outer City District could see it, gazing towards Cloud Dream Mountain, their eyes full of envy, reverence, adoration, and longing.
"Is this father forming his core?"
In a small courtyard, Lu Wangshu, dressed in a white and pink dress, looked at the Core Formation celestial phenomenon and then pouted, uninterested.
After all, her father had already broken through to Core Formation long ago.
Moreover, as her cultivation level increased and she learned more about the cultivation world, she had long had many guesses about her father.
Within thirty some years, he could slay Nascent Soul cultivators, carrying her through the Nine Heavens Gang Wind; perhaps he had already formed his core by then but lied to her.
"Hmph, that dastardly father, even tricking his clever, graceful, charming, wise, and understanding daughter!"
Lu Wangshu wrinkled her nose, but her clear, bright eyes also sparkled as if dawn was reflecting off clear water.
She recalled her mother saying early on that only if both achieved Core Formation could they gain their ’Ancestral Master’s’ permission to reveal their relationship to the world.
A short while ago, her mother broke through to Core Formation, and now her father promptly ’breaks through to Core Formation’...
...
Above Cloud Dream Mountain, the Core Formation celestial phenomenon soared like a bamboo splitting under force.
In just ten days, the spiritual energy vortex expanded to seven or eight miles, shocking countless people.
"According to ancient texts, a Core Formation celestial phenomenon exceeding five miles suggests a possible Middle Grade True Pill. Could this person be aiming for a Fourth Grade True Pill!?"
"For someone to attempt Core Formation in Great Dream Immortal City suggests they’re not a disciple of an Immortal Sect, likely a clan cultivator or a loose cultivator. Yet, a loose cultivator possessing such extraordinary foundations!"
Both Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators in Great Dream Immortal City watched this scene with shock, suspicion, and envy.
One must know, a Fourth Grade True Pill is an existence admired by countless people!
For an ordinary loose cultivator or clan cultivator to condense a low-quality Flawed Core is already considered a success, signifying prodigious talent!
Condensing a Middle Grade True Pill requires profound foundations and significant opportunities!
And this Core Formation celestial phenomenon continued to rise, seemingly striving towards a ten-mile Golden Core celestial phenomenon.
However, once the spiritual energy vortex reached a range of nine miles, it seemed to struggle, becoming unstable, rising and falling, causing many hearts to rise and fall with it.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the spiritual energy vortex shuddered, as if exhausted, retreating like a receding tide.
It directly retreated to a range of around six to seven miles before barely stabilizing, unable to make further progress, maintaining its fluctuations.
"Boom!"
After a long time, the vast vortex of spiritual energy above Cloud Dream Mountain suddenly condensed, then dissipated smoothly amidst the tidal backflow of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, radiant ombre light spreading!
"It’s done!"
"The spiritual energy vortex exceeded six miles; it should be a Fifth Grade True Pill."
"Hard to say, at its peak, his spiritual energy vortex reached a nine-mile range, perhaps it’s a Fourth Grade True Pill."
"What a pity, this person had immense foundational strength, showing an unstoppable momentum early on, but lacked the stamina to sustain it."
"Core Formation, it really broke through to Core Formation!"
All the observing cultivators were shocked, engaging in lively discussions.
