Chapter 1023: Clone Core Formation, Spring Eye Emerges

The way of Core Formation is nothing more than the unity of the three treasures and the return of the five qi.

The so-called three treasures are essence, energy, and spirit!

They correspond to the physical essence and blood, magic power and spiritual energy, and divine soul and spirit respectively.

Taking the essence of these three treasures and fusing them into one, forming a spiritual fetus with the Core, and after the fetus moves, one can shatter the Core to form an infant, stepping into the Nascent Soul Great Dao!

As early as before participating in the Jiazi Great Competition, Zhou Fuyou had already learned enough about the relevant knowledge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage from his Master, Fairy Qinglan.

Especially under the guidance of his Master and the Ancestor, Zhou Fuyou had long begun to consciously coordinate the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit.

When he was at the ninth level of Core Formation, the spiritual fetus in his body was already quite decent.

Now that he had come to the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, as the days of quiet cultivation passed day by day, his realm was also climbing upwards steadily.

In his spare time, he looked inside himself.

In the Qi Sea, the magic power was as vast as the ocean, with two spiritual beads, one large and one small.

The small one was his natal magic treasure, the Dinghai Bead, which had the reputation of pacifying the ocean and suppressing the heavens. What was rare was that this bead had been tempered by thunder tribulation when it was formed, reaching the grade of a true artifact.

At this moment, the small Dinghai Bead was spinning around the spiritual bead that was a circle larger, very affectionately.

Because the large spiritual bead was Zhou Fuyou's Core!

This Core was different from ordinary Cores, pitch-black all over, not containing a trace of impurities, as if it could absorb all light.

And because of that deep pitch-black, it seemed to be able to create all things out of nothing.

When this Core could no longer absorb any magic power, an inexplicable induction emerged from Zhou Fuyou's consciousness.

Dong!

The fetus moved!

The spiritual fetus trembled, shattering the Core to form an infant; this was the symbolic sign of the opportunity for Core Formation.

For normal people, at this time, they would suppress the urge to break through based on the experience of predecessors, and instead stabilize the realm. Afterwards, they would familiarize themselves with this feeling step by step, and then through the assistance of a large amount of Core Formation resources, strive to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one breath.

At the very least, they had to prepare the means to cross the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation first.

But Zhou Fuyou abandoned all the experience of his predecessors.

He had a hunch that the Dao is naturally formed, why need to restrain it?

Everything, just rely on one's own heart!

With a thought, his whole body's blood and energy surged towards the Core in his body, and his originally thin body became even more withered.

The vast magic power spread outwards in circles with Zhou Fuyou's body as the center.

From the initial ripple state, to the surging waves later, the momentum became larger and larger.

In this constant fluctuation, the whole world seemed to reach the same frequency rhythm as him.

Boom!

In the Three-Tiered Waterfall, that fourth-level spiritual vein suddenly erupted with massive spiritual energy, sweeping across a radius of a hundred miles.

The waterfall was like a silk ribbon, rolling back a thousand feet, turning into a silver-white giant dragon.

On top of the giant dragon's head, the figure of the withered young man was already sitting on it, riding the waves into the sky, straight into the nine heavens.

Pitter-patter!

In the void, at some point, dark clouds had already gathered, and silver-white electric snakes were shuttling through them, extremely terrifying.

Such a peculiar scene, any cultivator could react that this was the thunder tribulation of a Core Formation cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But anyone would be extremely shocked by how easily Zhou Fuyou formed the spiritual fetus and triggered the thunder tribulation.

From beginning to end, he did not borrow any external objects.

Whether it was the Core Formation elixir prepared by his Master, or the Core Formation resource rewards obtained as the top of the Jiazi Great Competition, Zhou Fuyou had never used them.

It was just that he felt he could, and then he could.

The thunder tribulation brewed and completed in an instant.

Different from the tribulation crossing of ordinary cultivators, this thunder tribulation actually had no probing actions at all.

The moment Zhou Fuyou appeared, a thunder light as thick as a water bucket crashed down!

Zhou Fuyou's expression was calm, and he lifted his hand.

The thousand-foot waterfall beneath his feet turned into a water dragon, roaring and rushing towards the thunder light.

Boom!

A deafening sound rang out, Zhou Fuyou remained unmoved, just raising his brows.

"Is the thunder tribulation only this powerful?"

From the Dao Sect classics, he learned that a cultivator crosses a total of three heavenly tribulations in a lifetime, each with three rounds, adding up to nine rounds, so it is also called the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

But this first heavenly tribulation, in Zhou Fuyou's view, was completely not to be feared.

"Perhaps it will be stronger later, if there are the shape-shifting thunder beasts mentioned by the Ancestor, that would be even more wonderful."

Thinking of this point, Zhou Fuyou was not afraid, but instead showed a look of expectation.

He didn't wait long, the second round of heavenly tribulation arrived as scheduled.

This time, five thunder lights crashed down.

Five thunders hitting the top, heaven and earth extinguished.

Zhou Fuyou remained calm, only seeing him join his hands in a circle, and a clear water mirror emerged.

The water mirror was placed flat, and his hands slowly lifted upwards.

Five thunder lights crashed onto the azure water mirror, splashing layers of waves.

Crack, crack...

Breaking sounds rang out one after another.

When the azure water mirror shattered, the five thunder lights also lacked follow-up power, Zhou Fuyou just waved his sleeves and dissipated the fine electric arcs.

Having crossed two rounds of thunder tribulation so easily, heaven and earth seemed to be angry too.

In the sky full of dark clouds, there came a muffled sound of repression and restlessness.

This time, Zhou Fuyou finally became solemn.

In the solemnity, there was a hint of expectation.

When four beast feet like heavenly pillars protruded from the thick dark clouds, Zhou Fuyou's hanging heart finally fell.

The shape-shifting thunder beast had come!

In rumors, only those with excellent aptitude and extremely thick foundation would attract the terrifying shape-shifting thunder beast during the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation.

The lethality of this existence is very terrifying, far exceeding the level that a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator can deal with.

That is the power to exterminate the tribulation crosser!

But if this power is absorbed and utilized by the tribulation crosser, its upper limit is also much higher than general killing moves.

Regarding this point, the Ancestor had long been prepared.

And Zhou Fuyou had additional auxiliary methods, determined to turn the thunder tribulation into his own use.

His whole body shook, and black air currents emerged from his body, with the Ming water flowing within.

The Qi Sea Floating Heaven technique reappeared, forming another black sky curtain with him as the center.

Reflecting with that thick thunder cloud.

When the thunder beast that looked like a turtle appeared in the thunder cloud, Zhou Fuyou gave a low drink.

"Come!"

The shape-shifting thunder turtle moved its four feet, roaring towards Zhou Fuyou, facing the forest-like sky curtain formed by the Qi Sea Floating Heaven, it did not dodge or avoid, entering straight into it.

Wherever it passed, this representative killing move of Zhou Fuyou began to retreat steadily, seemingly completely unable to resist.

Just at this moment!

Zhou Fuyou opened his mouth and spat, a bead flew out.

Treasure light flickered, and the young man pointed out a finger.

"Fix!"

A terrifying suppressing force poured out, and even the thunder turtle formed by the heavenly tribulation had a moment of stagnation.

Zhou Fuyou wanted this moment of opportunity!

Only seeing him pinch the seal with both hands, within the boundless Qi Sea, the extremely pure Ming water turned into chains of dragons, rushing towards the thunder turtle, like chains, wrapping and binding its four feet, torso, and even its head tightly.

A large amount of air currents moved, extremely spiritual, drilling into the body of the thunder turtle that was completely composed of thunder power.

The thunder turtle was furious, wanting to break free and move forward, but inside there were air currents disintegrating its body, outside there were Ming water dragons binding its surroundings, and Zhou Fuyou was still continuously urging the Dinghai Bead, which made it difficult to move an inch.

Even saying, its body also began to continuously differentiate, turning into the most primitive and pure thunder tribulation power.

"As long as this thunder tribulation power is integrated into the Qi Sea Floating Heaven, this killing move will truly have the prototype of a divine ability!"

"The Ancestor's vision will be perfected by me!"

"From now on in the Nascent Soul realm, I will have the shocking means of my heart being the heaven's heart, driving thunder and controlling electricity!"

Zhou Fuyou gritted his teeth, not caring about the loss of magic power, continuously disintegrating and absorbing the power of the shape-shifting thunder turtle.

The sky full of dark clouds rolled wildly, seemingly in fury, but the three rounds of heavenly tribulation had passed, and it was already powerless, only able to watch the shape-shifting thunder turtle dissipate bit by bit.

"Receive!"

Only a light drink was heard, and the air currents filled with electric arcs shrank back into Zhou Fuyou's body.

He looked up, the sky full of dark clouds had gradually dissipated, replaced by spiritual energy rain that was like a pouring rain.

And on the ground, golden lotuses condensed from spiritual energy also broke through the soil, gathering towards Zhou Fuyou.

Earth gushing golden lotuses, heaven pouring down!

Zhou Fuyou smiled slightly and formed a Dao seal.

The Core in his body collapsed and shattered.

He groaned, and then a little person appeared in the Core.

This little person was only the size of a thumb at first, but after swallowing the Core, it began to grow sturdily.

Seemingly feeling that the food was not enough, the little person flickered, emerged from Zhou Fuyou's body, and looked at the outside world with surprise.

Those spiritual energy raindrops and spiritual energy golden lotuses were the best food.

The little person flew to a golden lotus and sat cross-legged, letting the massive spiritual energy raindrops fall on its body.

A feeling of joy and pleasure arose spontaneously, and there was even an illusion of returning to the mother's body that appeared in a trance.

In this trance, the Nascent Soul little person seemed to remember something.

Reaching out and beckoning, a stream of light flew out from the storage ring on the physical body, and it swallowed it in one bite.

It was precisely the fourth-level Phantom Core obtained from killing the fourth-level Jade Jade Jiao Long Phantom Beast earlier, which contained a trace of spiritual opportunity.

The time of Core Formation is the most dangerous time, because there is the threat of heavenly tribulation outside, and the pressure of condensing the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit inside at the same time.

But what the world doesn't know is that the time of Core Formation is also the time when a cultivator is closest to heaven and earth in this life.

After crossing the thunder tribulation, heaven and earth temporarily had no barriers, and because the Purple Mansion barrier had not yet been generated, the Nascent Soul and heaven and earth were almost completely integrated at this moment.

When Luo Chen formed his Core, he had a similar feeling, but he knew its existence but not its reason, and subconsciously missed it.

In fact, even if Luo Chen realized this point, there was nothing he could do, because he was still missing one thing.

Spiritual opportunity!

And Zhou Fuyou happened to have spiritual opportunity in his hand.

Although there was not much, only a wisp.

But it was enough!

The Phantom Core entered the body, the Nascent Soul little person slowly closed its eyes, letting this heaven and earth wrap it up.

Faintly, he felt the operating laws of the world, which were composed of intertwined laws. Above the laws, there were Great Dao rules governing everything.

The Great Dao rules were too vast, like a heavy hammer, the little child could not lift it, but the laws were like a ball of thread, and the little child seemed to be able to pull out a thread while playing.

"Where to pull from?"

Countless threads, crisscrossing, could not find the end of the thread, and there was no way to start.

Time passed for an unknown amount of time...

Suddenly!

The Nascent Soul little person opened its eyes suddenly, its gaze burning, and even looked at its own physical body with some horror.

There was a clear, even complete thread there!

He, Zhou Fuyou, actually possessed a heavy treasure without knowing it?

The center of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

On a vast plain, dozens of figures were sitting cross-legged in profound positions.

Beneath them were crisscrossing light patterns.

If viewed from high altitude, it was exactly a chessboard pattern.

And these people each occupied a chessboard node, each roughly mastering one-tenth of the chessboard range.

In the very center, an old man with graying hair and temples, old to the extreme, sat cross-legged like a withered tree, occupying the position of the chessboard's Tianyuan.

Suddenly!

The old man's heavy eyelids blinked, and the silent magic power on his body had some fluctuations.

Noticing his anomaly, someone asked with concern: "Qi Qi Shixiong Ke, what's wrong with you?"

The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

"Among the disciples who entered the Cave Heaven to practice this time, are there any with very outstanding aptitude?"

"Reporting to Qi Qi Shixiong Ke, ten people entered the Cave Heaven, all of them outstanding people, especially that Zhou Fuyou, who possesses the Profound Ming Dao Body, which can be called unique!"

The old man was thoughtful and muttered: "That should be him."

Everyone was puzzled.

But soon, with the old man's gentle and gratified "He has formed his Core", everyone suddenly realized.

Afterwards, there were sounds of admiration, endless to the ear.

Everyone knew Zhou Fuyou's talent and aptitude, but he had only entered the Cave Heaven for thirty-something years, and he had actually formed his Core.

If placed in the outside world, it could be called forming a Core in a hundred years.

Such a terrifying cultivation speed, looking at the millions of years of the Mountain Sea World, it could only be considered unprecedented.

"Junior Brother Li, please invite him over! Although the spirit treasure Lanke Chessboard has long recognized me as its master, I am not a Soul Transformation great power after all, and if I want to urge it with all my strength, I must rely on your strength. Since Zhou Fuyou has formed his Core, he can also be used as a candidate force, helping out a little when you can't hold on."

The Nascent Soul cultivator called Junior Brother Li by the old man was precisely the Uncle-Master Li who was there when entering the Cave Heaven.

He came from the Li family, one of the Twelve Great Houses, and his realm was not high, around the third level of Nascent Soul. But he had extensive social connections and very good interpersonal relationships, and he knew most of them whether they were above or below.

At this moment, having received the order, Uncle-Master Li did not refuse and drove his escape light towards the direction pointed by the old man.

In fact, the distance between the two sides was not too far, after all, the Three-Tiered Waterfall itself was considered an inner area of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

When Uncle-Master Li arrived, the Three-Tiered Waterfall had already returned to its past calm, with only raindrops falling continuously.

Uncle-Master Li looked around, and did not see any devastation after a cultivator crossed the tribulation, only feeling that this junior was indeed extraordinary, and had easily carried through the tribulation alone.

It was those old burn marks and sword marks on the exposed mountain rocks that made Uncle-Master Li sigh with emotion.

"These should be the traces left by the Desolate Loose Person Luo Chen when he resisted Shi Ju, Gu Yuan, Gu Daosu, and others with his own strength during the five-hundred-year Cave Heaven Great Competition. I didn't expect that after so many years, they still haven't been worn away by time."

Amidst a sigh, Uncle-Master Li had already detected the traces of the array laid out by Zhou Fuyou.

He walked up politely, opening his mouth to shout, but stopped when the words reached his lips.

Zhou Fuyou had just formed his Core and should be in urgent need of consolidating his realm; rashly disturbing him might affect him.

Qi Qi Shixiong Ke over there was not in a hurry, so he could just leave a letter to notify the other party.

Taking out a sound transmission talisman, Uncle-Master Li recorded the divine thought transmission, then hit it in, circled slightly, and returned leisurely.

And in the inner cave dwelling of the Three-Tiered Waterfall, Zhou Fuyou was still sitting on the futon.

Surprisingly, his Nascent Soul was revealed outside, staring fixedly at his physical body.

"Why is there a spring eye sealed in my physical body, and it's a spring eye containing the origin of water!"

"Is this the origin of my Profound Ming Dao Body constitution?"

"Who did it?"

"Father, Mother... or the Ancestor?"

Zhou Fuyou could not understand, and the moment his Nascent Soul returned to his physical body, the seal on the spring eye collapsed like a dam, unraveling rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, boundless and vast power filled Zhou Fuyou's body.

He looked at his hands, and with a light grip, it felt like holding rivers, lakes, and seas.

He looked up at the dome of the cave dwelling, his vision seeming to pass through the stone wall, seeing the drizzling rain curtain.

"Disperse!"

Muttering in his mouth, the sky full of rain clouds dispersed in an instant.

Such means of mastering the changes in the world's trends were no longer something that ordinary Nascent Soul True Persons could master.

Zhou Fuyou fell into silence. ===== CHAPTER 1024 =====

Muttering to himself, the rain clouds covering the sky dissipated in an instant.

Such a method of mastering the changes in the great trends of heaven and earth was no longer something an ordinary Nascent Soul True Person could grasp.

Zhou Fuyou fell into silence.
