Chapter 103: Breakthrough to Golden Core【Extra for 600 monthly tickets】_3
As the Spiritual Energy Vortex within his body underwent a transformation, the Immortal Sword Seed above it also released a golden light under the incantation of the Tao Sounds, and the mysterious Immortal Tao Patterns flickered incessantly. Fearsome sword intent surrounded Lu Yi's entire body, guarding him like a swimming dragon amidst the seven-colored smoke.
Lu Yi mustered his strength and once again attempted to break through the bottleneck.
Crack crack crack…
The transformed Spiritual Energy was unstoppable, fiercely striking the bottleneck, and a dense series of cracking sounds followed.
With a rumble, Lu Yi felt the world open up, as if entering a brand new universe.
Heaven and earth opened a new door for him, and all kinds of mysterious conceptions seemed within arm's reach.
Lu Yi understood that he had broken through the bottleneck and entered the Golden Core Realm.
Without hesitation, he immediately took out the other Tao Spirit Pearls, ingested them one by one, and began to condense his own Golden Core.
A Golden Core condensed by the Tao!
One Tao Spirit Pearl after another entered his body, transforming into rich and profound Taoist Energy, carrying Tao Patterns that were profoundly mysterious and beyond Lu Yi's understanding as they meandered through his body.
Some scattered Tao Patterns fell amongst his flesh and blood, causing Lu Yi's flesh to glow dazzlingly, emitting a luminous treasure light with a faint scent emerging faintly.
Under the effects of the Tao Patterns, his body underwent an inexplicable transformation.
Lu Yi could clearly sense that his ability to detect Spiritual Energy had increased several times compared to before.
It should be known that Lu Yi had been cultivating with Spirit Milk during this period, raising his talent to a certain level.
Although not equivalent to an Acquired Spiritual Body, within the scope of mortal bodies, his was definitely considered a top existence. Should he go on to cultivate with Centennial Spirit Marrow in the future, transforming his mortal body into an Acquired Spiritual Body would surely be an easy task.
But now, as those Tao Patterns scattered, his flesh underwent an unknown transformation, and his Cultivation speed increased significantly, surpassing the mortal body, likely much stronger than a typical Acquired Spiritual Body.
This was only the scattering of the Tao Patterns. Most of the Immortal Tao Patterns were enveloped by the Power of Tao and entered the ointment-like Golden Core that Lu Yi was condensing.
With the entry of the rich and unparalleled Power of Tao into the Golden Core, the ointment-like Core shimmered with seven-colored rosy clouds, seemingly illuminating Lu Yi's entire body through and through.
His body, originally glowing with a luminous treasure light, now had seven-colored rosy clouds emerging all around, making the anomalies around him even grander.
Jade Lotuses blossomed together, exuding fragrance, and the rosy clouds flowed, becoming more enigmatic and mystical, completely enveloping Lu Yi's body. The Golden Wheel in his mind released golden luminosity, majestic beyond compare. Discover more content at empire
Even the sounds of the Tao seemed to resound from within Lu Yi's body, echoing throughout the Cultivation Room.
Inside Lu Yi's body, the ointment-like Dantian rapidly condensed, shifting from its gelatinous state to a solid form, and the originally somewhat irregular shape turned into a regular sphere in a spin. It settled within Lu Yi's Dantian, a round sun that illuminated the entire area with its spirit light.
This Golden Core was translucent like glazed glass, its interior adorned with seven-colored rosy clouds, as if celestial colors had descended into the mortal world and were absorbed by Lu Yi.
As the Golden Core took form, even grander and more mysterious Tao Sounds emerged, echoing within Lu Yi's mind. He felt as if he was understanding yet not fully comprehending, sensing profundity and mystery, as if he was on the brink of enlightenment.
In his mind, he involuntarily recalled the Cultivation Skills he practiced and the Dao and principles he had come to understand, finding them more transparent and clear.
The chanting of the Tao Sounds followed, and within that glazed Golden Core, myriad Tao Patterns emerged and disappeared within the seven-colored light. The Golden Core's surroundings twisted, releasing strands of rosy light that filled Lu Yi's entire Dantian. Soon, the light pervaded the whole space.
A Golden Core bobbed within the seven-colored rosy light, with an indescribable charm.
Only then did Lu Yi fully condense his Golden Core and break through to the Golden Core Realm.
He opened his eyes, which flashed with a trace of seven-colored rosy light that then disappeared. His eyes were deep as abysses, captivating, and the anomalies around his body vanished along with it.
The once celestial-like demeanor returned to simplicity.
Lu Yi rose, stretching his body and feeling the ceaseless surge of power within him, revealing a hint of a smile.
Finally, he had broken through to the Golden Core Realm.
The Golden Core within him was different from those of ordinary Cultivators.
Generally, a cultivator's Golden Core is formed according to the foundation they've built, as well as the Tao and principles they've grasped in the Foundation Establishment Realm, along with the magic skills they've mastered, condensing Tao Patterns that are inscribed on the surface of the Golden Core.
The more Tao Patterns there are, the more solid the foundation is considered to be, naturally making their strength stronger.
But his Golden Core was different; it had no Tao Patterns on it.
After all, his Golden Core was entirely condensed from the Power of Tao.
It could be said to be unique and incomparable to others.
Just then, Lu Yi felt a palpitation, with a sense of oppression in his chest.
Familiar pressure surfaced, prompting Lu Yi to look up as though he could see through the rocks to the sky above his Cave Mansion.
Heavenly Tao Pressure—it was the Heavenly Tribulation.
Lu Yi smiled, stepped forward, and vanished from the spot.
In the next moment, Spiritual Energy surged within Lu Yi, flowing into the Immortal Sword Seed and transforming into golden Sword Qi. He turned into a beam of golden sword light, disappearing from where he stood and flying into the distance.
Last time, unprepared, Lu Yi could only undergo Tribulation Crossing at Ling Luo Peak. This time, naturally, he would not cross the tribulation at Ling Luo Peak again to avoid damage to it.
If so, it could not guarantee that his Master would not get angry.
His Master getting angry was indeed terrifying.
......
Time rewinds to several minutes earlier.
A thunderous roar arose at Ling Luo Peak, as an incredibly powerful aura slowly seeped out, shaking all the cultivators in seclusion at the Inner Sect of Ling Luo Peak.
Cultivators burst forth into the air and gathered in the sky, filled with shock and doubt.
"Such a powerful aura, which cultivator is about to break through?"
"It's coming from Ling Luo Peak. As expected of a place where geniuses gather, another cultivator is about to make a breakthrough!"
Atop Ling Luo Peak, the Ling Luo Peak Master lay in bed asleep, her sleeping posture still ungraceful, with pale thighs and arms exposed.
The thunderous sound woke the Ling Luo Peak Master, her groggy eyes showing a hint of surprise: "This aura...is it that kid? Has the kid broken through?"
Her body disappeared from its place and appeared outside Lu Yi's Cave Mansion.
Before long, Liu Ningshuang also arrived. Looking at Lu Yi's Cave Mansion, she said, "Master, Junior Brother has made a breakthrough!"
"Hmm," Ling Luo Peak Master nodded slightly: "Considering the time, this lad has stayed in the Foundation Establishment Realm for a few years now, so it's about time for a breakthrough."
A while later, Donggong Ming Yue also flew over. Her cultivation had reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from the Tenth Layer, her practice progressing rapidly.
However, the real difficulty in the Foundation Establishment Realm lies in breaking the Heavenly Tao Limitation; that's what truly takes time.
Lu Yi had spent merely about two years on the first ten layers.
As soon as she arrived and saw the Ling Luo Peak Master and Liu Ningshuang, Donggong Ming Yue quickly paid her respects: "Master, Senior Sister, you're here too!"
At that moment, a beam of golden sword light shot up into the sky, flying out of the sect.
"It's Senior Brother!" Donggong Ming Yue exclaimed.
Ling Luo Peak Master glanced at the dark clouds beginning to slowly gather and said, "The tribulation is coming... indeed, this lad has broken through to the Golden Core Realm and has also attracted the Heavenly Tribulation... let's go have a look."
She swept up Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue and chased in the direction of Lu Yi.
