Chapter 190: The Essentials of Core Fusion
The fiery lotus hung in the sky above the array's light barrier, its power spreading outwards and engulfing the air outside the array.
A scorching torrent of fire, like a tidal wave, swept towards Master Qiuye and Master Sanjian.
Behind the two True Immortals, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Golden Cloud Sect and the Taibai Immortal Sect felt as if they were in a sea of fire.
The extraordinary phenomenon of immortal foundation in the dantian of the body rises, with mist rising, as if it is about to be evaporated.
A great fear surged into my heart.
"The power of this formation has reached the quasi-fourth rank!" On the Golden Cloud Sect's flying ship, a Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Jin thought to himself.
He looked up at the sky, licked his lips, and revealed a face full of horror.
Despite being a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he still felt his heart tremble with fear under the immense power emanating from the slowly approaching fire lotus.
Master Qiuye frowned and took a deep breath.
However, she showed no sign of backing down.
Having chosen to come to the Azure Flame Immortal Sect, she naturally made some preparations.
At this moment, the reason she did not take action directly was that she was waiting for the Third Sword Master of the Taibai Immortal Sect, Lü Xingsan.
Lu Xingsan remained calm, his sword energy whistling around him, his robes fluttering in the wind, and his slightly graying temples moving with the breeze. He simply looked at the Azure Flame Immortal Gate in front of him, and the azure fire lotus that kept flying towards the outer edge of the formation.
Suddenly, another ripple appeared within the Azure Flame Immortal Gate, and a powerful Core Formation spiritual pressure emanated from it.
Everyone stared intently.
"That is..." Akiba Masato also stared intently.
However, above the Azure Flame Immortal Gate and the Hongyan Peak, the fiery clouds suddenly rippled and began to expand.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, the fire elemental energy stirred wildly, drawing people in.
Even high in the sky, within that azure fire lotus, flames were drawn away.
"Is Li Hongtai leveraging this opportunity to draw upon the power of the 'Azure Flame Lotus' to condense his core?"
Upon seeing this, Akiba Masato's pupils contracted.
Condensing the elixir requires a vast amount of fire elemental energy.
Therefore, many cultivators preparing to form their core choose regions with third-order fire spirit veins to do so.
Only in this way can there be a continuous supply of fire elemental energy.
The Azure Flame Immortal Sect naturally possesses a third-tier fire spirit vein.
However, the fire spirit energy contained in the blue lotus in the sky above far exceeds that of an ordinary third-order fire spirit vein.
This is a wisp of the true fire of life, condensed by the founding ancestor of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect with his life's blood, remaining in the sect.
It has reached the near-fourth level.
Inside the Azure Flame Immortal Gate.
"Peak Master Hongyan's Core Formation phenomenon has intensified once again!"
"Is he trying to condense a nascent core?" The disciples in the sect also noticed the expanding phenomenon.
The oppressive aura was increasing, and many cultivators looked at Hongyan Peak with astonishment.
"It's about to begin!" Li Wenchang and the others looked at Hongyan Peak, their faces full of anticipation.
At this moment, in the cave on Hongyan Peak.
Li Hongtai looked inward at his dantian.
Now, within his dantian, the magical power within the vast sea of immortal foundation fire has been condensed into countless crystals.
And together, after countless trials and tribulations, they were fused into an oval-shaped 'prototype of the pill'.
"It's time to form the core!" After glancing at the situation inside his dantian, Li Hongtai took a deep breath.
With a flick of his hand, a white jade box flew out from the storage bag at his waist, its light patterns flashing.
A "spirit-sealing talisman" was affixed to the box to prevent the medicinal properties of the elixir inside from leaking out.
He chanted an incantation and made a hand gesture, and the "Spirit Sealing Talisman" transformed into a stream of fire that disappeared into the storage bag at his waist.
Immediately, he opened the jade box.
In an instant, a radiant light burst forth, like a precious pearl within, accompanied by an immense surge of medicinal power.
The power of the elixir was like a torrent, or a sea of fire, filling the cave where Li Hongtai was.
When he looked closely...
Then you can see that inside the jade box, there is a pill the size of a longan, which looks like red jade.
The elixir was crystal clear, yet it contained a universe within, with ripples of water and raging flames.
This was none other than the "Replenishing Vitality and Restoring Self Pill," painstakingly crafted by Li Hongtai.
Dan has two cloud-like patterns.
This is a high-quality elixir.
Li Hongtai flicked his hand, and the pill flew out. He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing it into his stomach.
The pill entered the mouth, and its immense medicinal power surged forth like a torrent.
Li Hongtai used the "Separation of Fire and Gathering of the Sea Technique" to absorb the overwhelming medicinal power.
Instantly, a huge vortex stirred in his dantian, like a bottomless abyss, drawing in the immense medicinal power and allowing the medicinal energy emitted by the "Replenishing Essence and Correcting Self Pill" to be released. Otherwise, without the support of a powerful cultivation technique, it would not have been able to achieve its full potential.
Taking this elixir rashly would cause one's meridians to crack due to its overwhelming medicinal power.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to form a golden core!
For anyone who has reached the Core Formation stage, the primary factor is whether the advanced cultivation technique they are practicing is indeed advanced.
As the medicinal effects entered his dantian, Li Hongtai was able to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"The Elixir for Replenishing Vitality and Restoring Self..."
"The so-called replenishment of vital energy... refers to replenishing the abundant true essence and magical power needed for a cultivator to form their core..."
"To rectify oneself is to strengthen one's consciousness, solidify one's self, and thus rectify one's heart..."
"Only in this way can one recognize the Great Dao, not be misled by external things, and condense the flower into the elixir..."
"Otherwise, if one's spiritual sense is weak and one's will is not firm, one will be disturbed by external things when condensing the elixir."
Not only will they fail to attain enlightenment, but they are also prone to qi deviation, which can lead to the destruction of their cultivation or even death.
Li Hongtai whispered.
"As the ancients said, when forming the elixir, one should not be hasty or slow, nor should one forget or force it. Only by concentrating one's spirit and softening one's intention can the elixir be formed."
If the spirit is not concentrated, the elixir will not gather; if the mind is not gentle, the fire will not be pure; if the fire is not pure, the elixir will be difficult to form.
This Golden Cloud Sect wants to disrupt my mind, make me restless and anxious, and thus ruin my great undertaking of forming the Golden Core.
It's a joke.
Little did they know, the other party was already prepared.
If I, Li Hongtai, am disturbed by the current turmoil and lose my composure, why should I, Li Hongtai, spend fifty years planning the path to Core Formation?
Li Hongtai whispered.
He kept all the commotion outside to himself.
He not only anticipated this, but also ignored it.
He even chose to perform the final fusion of his core when Mu Jinchuan activated the Azure Flame Ancestral Array.
They are taking advantage of the situation.
Otherwise, the Azure Flame Immortal Sect would not normally activate the Azure Flame Ancestral Array.
Li Hongtai was also unable to draw upon that wisp of azure flame to refine it and strengthen himself.
All of this was within his expectations. He remained calm and composed, and even found opportunities within the crisis.
With such a mind, how could one be disturbed by external things?
As for his insights on Core Formation, he had already read them countless times from the notes of "True Man Liuyun" and had a thorough understanding of them.
With a thought, the immense medicinal power was absorbed.
At his dantian, the three Dao flowers representing "Heaven," "Earth," and "Man" swayed, constantly absorbing the energy of the elixir.
The "Human Flower" is the essence and energy gathered from a cultivator's entire body.
The "Earth Flower" is the dwelling place of the monks and gods.
"Smallpox" is the place where monks walk the path.
Only when all three flowers are integrated into the elixir can one achieve the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir.
If only the "human flower" is fused, it is called a false elixir.
When the 'Earth Flower' is gathered again, it becomes the true elixir.
When all three flowers are combined, a golden elixir can be formed.
If not a single flower is produced, it is a false elixir.
The rich elixir energy was not only absorbed and refined by the three flowers.
Li Hongtai's soul was also absorbing, and his divine sense power grew stronger and stronger.
Within his dantian, the nascent pill already had flames rising from its base.
"Gather fire with divine power...infuse the Dao flower into the elixir!" Li Hongtai's mind stirred, and he began to circulate his cultivation technique.
His consciousness also followed suit.
Instantly, raging flames rose from beneath the nascent form of his pill, evolving into a massive vortex.
This vortex transformed into a powerful pulling force, drawing in the fire elemental power between heaven and earth.
Instantly, waves of fire surged around him, forming a huge vortex.
Even high in the sky, the vortex that evolved from the Core Formation phenomenon was spinning wildly, absorbing the fire elemental energy between heaven and earth.
The oppressive aura intensified even further.
Then, Li Hongtai's divine sense guided the 'human flower' toward the nascent form of his elixir, which he had already refined through countless trials.
The "human flower" moves very slowly, but the essence above it has already been drawn in, flowing like a long river into the elixir.
The human element is also constantly being condensed and compressed.
There are clear signs that it is about to break down.
If it truly decomposes, then the immortal foundation will be destroyed and the fusion of the core will fail.
Only through gradual fusion can the "human flower" become like a mark of the Dao, integrating into the elixir.
Thus, by nourishing it with the essence of elixir, it grows stronger, and the cultivator himself will also grow stronger.
Therefore, the process of condensing the elixir is extremely risky and requires a gradual and slow approach; one should not rush it.
We must also do our utmost to control the process and prevent the "human and flower" from decomposing during the fusion.
This situation requires extremely strong control over one's divine sense; the slightest mistake will cause the "human flower" to collapse and damage the immortal foundation.
Even before it had begun, Li Hongtai felt his soul weaken and his spiritual power was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
Fortunately, the medicinal energy of the "Replenishing Essence and Rectifying Self Pill" was continuously supplied, and he was absorbing and refining it while he was melting the pill.
Whenever my spiritual power was about to run out, it was replenished.
In addition, a powerful medicinal force was injected into the "Human Flower" to prevent it from absorbing too much essence during the fusion of the nascent elixir, causing it to collapse and thus failing to form the elixir.
This is the importance of the "Replenishing Vital Energy and Correcting Self Pill".
Without the aid of such elixirs, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for many cultivators to form their core.
After absorbing the essence of the "Human Flower," Li Hongtai's nascent elixir became increasingly powerful, with some Daoist patterns of the "Human Flower" imprinted on it, as if they had taken root, laying the foundation for the subsequent fusion of the flower.
At this moment, as the essence of the "Human Flower" continued to merge with it, the aura emanating from Li Hongtai became increasingly powerful, and flames shot into the sky from within his body, causing the vortex phenomenon in the high sky to suddenly burst into a colorful and fiery glow.
hum!
A ripple spread in all directions.
"This aura..."
Inside the Azure Flame Immortal Sect, countless cultivators stared at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
"This is a fake elixir that has been formed..."
"Peak Master Li is attempting to condense a nascent core!"
"A Void Core cultivator! If Peak Master Li succeeds, our Azure Flame Immortal Sect will have four Void Core cultivators, placing us in the top tier among the seven great immortal sects of Chu!" The Azure Flame Immortal Sect cultivators were overjoyed as they watched the strange phenomenon in the sky continue to rise.
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
If a sect is powerful, they can acquire more resources.
Outside the Azure Flame Immortal Gate.
Master Qiuye and Master Sanjian both narrowed their eyes and looked at the ever-expanding phenomenon of Core Formation.
And the fluctuations emanating from there.
