Chapter 75: Hunyuan Dao Scripture, Third Layer – Golden Core Condenses

Set up the formation, covering the cave entrance; this is the first step.

This place must absolutely not be discovered; even if it is discovered, one must wait until he has enjoyed it before discovering it again—this is a precious spot. If the demon beast's blood keeps spraying, even if it sprays a little now and then, Chen Chuyang would be satisfied.

Moreover, the fish in the pond, all along the way down, each fish received Advancement; these fish are all treasures. If they were all enjoyed, Chen Chuyang felt his cultivation could rapidly rise—these are free resources, also his opportunities.

A true person sits at home, and blessings descend from heaven.

What heaven gives, you cannot refuse; refusing is not giving face, not giving face, heaven has plenty of ways to deal with you.

Chen Chuyang naturally would not be clueless; what should be taken must still be taken. Enjoying it in advance, first raise his cultivation and strength—although his strength currently has no rival in Longshe Cheng, he still worries.

One must have far-sighted consideration, otherwise near-term worries will surely arise.

After an hour, a miniature formation was set up, blocking the cave's aura; moreover, Chen Chuyang also crafted some pots and pans to filter the demon beast's blood—at least, he collected most of the blood himself, the remainder being considered for the fish in the underground river to enjoy; he cannot take it all, leaving a thread so they can meet again in the future.

After all, they are all his; feeding them, in the end they are still not his—reverse cultivation, needing no worry from him. If he takes them all, driving the fish to desperation, they might riot.

What Chen Chuyang wants is stability; for now, first stabilize, then speak—ideally he could stabilize for several years, which would be best.

"One formation is not enough; we need to set up several more formations to cover this place."

"This is my precious territory; absolutely no one else may set foot here."

"For this, spending some spirit stones is no problem."

"This time, Chen Chuyang will suffer great losses, not for anything else, but for the demon beast's blood and these fish."

"While setting up the formation, Chen Chuyang also kept an eye on the little carp, in case it had problems—this is his first pet, and it cannot just die like that."

Three days later, the entire pond was sealed off, the formation imprisoning this place.

No aura can be transmitted outward.

This counts as an initial suppression of spirit qi spread; the places behind also need formations set up.

The required consumption is great; Chen Chuyang also has no choice but to do so.

When there's no way, any method that works is fine.

"Phew, at last I've concealed this treasure land; later, if used properly, perhaps it could let Longshe Shan undergo change again—these spirit spring waters can nourish the spirit veins and raise their grade."

"Secondly, I will increase the concentration of that spirit spring of Longshe Shan; then Longshe Shan will no longer need to worry about spirit qi and spirit spring issues."

Once these two problems are solved, Chen Chuyang can save many spirit stones.

After the formation was set up, Chen Chuyang attempted to penetrate the cave entrance with his Spiritual Sense, bit by bit seeping through.

Therefore, he made preparations, releasing the Hunyuan Bell to envelop himself.

He had gone several hundred meters deep, still seeing no end; continuing deeper, his soul was strong enough, condensing into a point, slowly permeating—unknown how far he had advanced, feeling as if he had passed countless mountain peaks, yet he still could not see the end.

He also could not see the source of the demon beast's blood—too far, too……deep, unable to go further; his soul was being consumed bit by bit, Chen Chuyang felt that if he continued deeper, his soul would be utterly devoured, helpless, he could only retreat.

"Huhuhuh." He, taking big breaths, underestimated the distance and overestimated his soul.

"It seems my soul is still not strong enough; this cannot be penetrated."

"The distance is very far; wanting to enter is not easy, the distance I have traveled is only about one-tenth, or even less."

"Fortunately, along this way, there are only mountain peaks, perfectly isolating my soul."

This also means that this place will temporarily not be discovered by people.

As long as no trace is revealed, generally speaking, underground is a very safe place.

That is, this crack caused a leakage of aura from this place, altering the underground environment, thus……

"For these demon beast's blood to be able to flow here is also not easy."

"Just right, I can refine it a bit, then directly devour it."

Chen Chuyang took out the Huge Fire Alchemy Furnace, poured all the blood into it, and the earth fire burned.

Moisture evaporated, all the blood finally condensed into a single drop—blood-red, viscous and terrifying, exuding a thick pressure; just a drop of blood, so terrifying, Chen Chuyang more keenly felt the pressure in his bloodline, very frightening, very scary—if the demon beast's true form appeared here, Chen Chuyang would immediately flee.

"This drop of blood is a bargain for me."

He opened his mouth and swallowed it.

After refinement, the beastly nature in the blood was mostly purged; the remaining beastly nature is negligible.

After swallowing it, Chen Chuyang operated the Hunyuan Dao Scripture at full power, suppressing and devouring the energy in the blood.

Chen Chuyang felt his body about to explode, the blood boiling, his body directly turning into a furnace, burning his flesh and bones, the blood rapidly evaporating, his whole person wrapped in blood qi; within the blood, the demon beast's will appeared, seeming to devour Chen Chuyang's will.

"Roar."

"Hmph, overestimating oneself, a mere drop of blood dares to be wanton."

"Earth fire, refine it for me."

Within the dantian, the earth fire burned.

The Hunyuan Dao Scripture operated, the beastly nature let out a wail, and the will was extinguished.

It became nourishment for Chen Chuyang's soul, nurturing the growth of his soul.

After the beastly nature was extinguished, the remainder is negligible.

Chen Chuyang's breathing gradually calmed, slowly absorbing.

His body was also undergoing some kind of change.

His bloodline, undergoing Advancement.

His body, also undergoing Advancement.

His entire demeanor changed along with it.

This change is very special.

Essence, qi, and spirit merged; this time, the fusion was completely successful.

Within the dantian, all true qi condensed, and a Golden Core appeared.

This is a Golden Core, not an Inner Core.

The Hunyuan Dao Scripture advanced to the third layer; the third layer, essence, qi, and spirit united as one, everything condensed into a Golden Core.

From then on, a Golden Core was swallowed into my abdomen; my fate is mine, not heaven's.

The Golden Core turned, devouring the energy in the blood.

All this happened under Chen Chuyang's control.

I don't know how many days passed; Chen Chuyang's vital energy faded from his whole body.

The body's exterior shed a layer of filth, revealing skin like white jade.

The entire person resembled white jade.

An immaculate body.

The Golden Core condensed; the third layer of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture breakthrough succeeded, naturally completing the breakthrough.

Chen Chuyang looked at himself in astonishment: "Golden Core? Is this really a Golden Core?"

It's not comparable to those inferior inner elixirs; my Golden Core represents all of me.

Golden Core, Hunyuan as one.

Chen Chuyang lifted his hand; every gesture was imbued with the Dao's rhythm.

It felt very mysterious.

It felt as though I had merged with heaven and earth.
