Chapter 452: The Immortal Path is long, walking with you
Core Formation!
Someone is forming a core!
Although this kind of thing is rare, the Yuding Domain has seen quite a few new Core Formation cultivators erupting one after another over the years, so it's not that sensational.
Even in Mount Tianlan Xiancheng, someone tried to form a core twenty years ago, but unfortunately failed at the final step.
Under normal circumstances, a Core Formation phenomenon wouldn't attract too much attention.
But this time, the commotion on Mount Tianlan Peak was truly a bit too large.
Not to mention anything else!
Just on Mount Tianlan Peak, many cultivators practicing in their cave dwellings instantly sensed something wrong.
At first, it was just the spiritual energy in their own cave dwellings becoming restless, as if being pulled, unable to wait to pour out.
Later, the spiritual vein shook, and large amounts of spiritual energy surged out from the earth vein.
Instantly causing the first-tier to become second-tier, and the second-tier to become third-tier.
Such a drastic change was naturally unsuitable for cultivators to continue their original cultivation.
For a time, many cultivators flew out of their cave dwellings, looking at the source of the anomaly with suspicion.
And when they saw the Daoist sitting cross-legged in the sky-piercing tornado formed by spiritual energy, they all changed color in unison.
What kind of foundation could create such a massive momentum?
The cultivators practicing inside Mount Tianlan Peak were affected.
What about the people in the immortal city?
From the moment the Core Formation phenomenon appeared, quite a few people noticed it.
As the Luoyun Sect cultivators released the spiritual vein restriction and the earth vein spiritual energy that had been imprisoned and suppressed was completely released, even some guests who were shopping in the shops couldn't help but come out to watch the excitement.
Some well-informed people had long known that it was Luo Chen who rented the Jia-3 cave dwelling on Mount Tianlan Peak.
Therefore, the moment the Core Formation phenomenon appeared, even if they couldn't see Luo Chen's face clearly, they could quickly distinguish who the owner of the golden core was.
"Alchemist Danchenzi has finally taken this step!"
"Is that the Alchemist Danchenzi who is hailed as the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Yuding Domain by you Yuding Domain cultivators?"
"Exactly! You've seen his ability today, right!"
"Tsk tsk, with such a grand spectacle, one can see how much foundation he accumulated during the Foundation Establishment stage. Those outer-domain cultivators who tried to challenge him to a sword discussion on the discussion platform are lucky they didn't run into him, otherwise, they would have lost all their faces."
"Losing to Senior Luo Chen is not a disgrace."
"This person could kill a Core Formation cultivator while in Foundation Establishment, and now that he is about to succeed in Core Formation, I don't know how strong he will become."
"In every prosperous age, heaven-gifted talents are like crucian carp crossing the river, countless. This Fire Spirit Lord can also be considered a hero of the times."
"After Chu Kui's failure to form a core, Luo Chen's aggressive Core Formation, this Luo Tian Society is destined to rise!"
"Is the brother saying that a Core Formation great sect is too easy?"
"Easy? You need to understand, Senior Luo Chen is a renowned alchemy master. You don't think no Core Formation master wants to take the initiative to befriend him, do you!"
"Uh..."
Countless discussions arose in every corner of the immortal city.
Some talked about Luo Chen's past deeds, some talked about Luo Chen's relationship with major sects, and some talked about Luo Chen's future.
Many low-level cultivators were now wishing they could replace Luo Chen, imagining the future glory and happiness.
Among them, most of those talking about the Luo Tian Society were local cultivators.
And speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
From the moment the Core Formation phenomenon appeared on Mount Tianlan Peak, the Mount Danxia Hall on Central Avenue sent a voice transmission to Mount Danxia Peak.
Therefore, not long after, cultivators from Mount Danxia Peak came together.
The Langqi flying boat entered the immortal city, originally wanting to fly close to the ground.
But looking at the dense crowd on the street, the Luo Tian Society cultivators gave up this plan.
One by one, they got off the flying boat, operated the Wind-Driving Technique, and quickly ran toward Central Avenue, which was closer to Mount Tianlan Peak.
Soon.
Led by President Sima Hui Niang and Wang Yuan, the Luo Tian Society cultivators saw Gu Gu Caiyi and others waiting expectantly at the main gate.
"How is it?"
Before she could catch her breath, President Sima Hui Niang asked impatiently.
Gu Gu Caiyi didn't look back and said: "Two sticks of incense have passed, and the President hasn't finished yet!"
Two sticks of incense!
Hearing this number, Wang Yuan's expression changed slightly.
When ordinary Foundation Establishment true cultivators form their cores, absorbing heaven-and-earth spiritual energy only takes about one stick of incense.
How robust is Luo Chen's foundation!
He couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The spiritual energy erupting from the earth vein was still tirelessly flying toward the summit of Mount Tianlan Peak.
The figure in the middle sat cross-legged, hair and beard fluttering, crazily swallowing this heaven-and-earth spiritual energy.
While he was shocked.
The cultivators of the Luo Tian Society held their breath, not daring to breathe, as if they were the ones forming the core.
Qu Qu Lingjun and his wife, Duan Feng and his wife, Li Li Yingzhang, Xu Xu Huanzhen...
Except for a few Foundation Establishment true cultivators left behind in various places, almost all the high-level members of the Luo Tian Society had arrived.
Everyone was nervous, looking up at Luo Chen's figure with incomparably excited and hopeful feelings.
Inside the spiritual energy tornado.
Luo Chen closed his eyes tightly, his lips slightly parted.
Apart from the roaring wind and clouds outside, his body was still emitting thunderous sounds.
This was the strange sound caused by the five-colored golden core in his body crazily swallowing external spiritual energy after it was formed.
This sound had already appeared when he was in the cave dwelling.
It was also at that time that Luo Chen suddenly realized that this third-tier spiritual land cave dwelling didn't seem to be able to support him in taking the final step.
The external spiritual energy was insufficient to stably support the solidification of the golden core!
Therefore, he no longer suppressed himself, actively releasing that suction force, thereby forming a sky-piercing tornado to absorb the heaven-and-earth spiritual energy wandering on Mount Tianlan Peak.
But even so, it was still not enough!
Just when he was about to disregard everything and destroy the restrictions of various cave dwellings on Mount Tianlan Peak to forcibly absorb the spiritual energy within them.
He suddenly felt more spiritual energy surging from beneath the earth vein of the immortal city.
"Someone is helping me!"
After realizing this, Luo Chen no longer hid anything.
He directly left the Jia-3 cave dwelling and escaped into the high sky.
Using the elixir to absorb spiritual energy, using the body to suppress the golden core!
One stick of incense, two sticks of incense...
In the blink of an eye, five sticks of incense passed.
Under normal circumstances, these five sticks of incense were nothing, but for Luo Chen at this moment, every minute and every second seemed to pass so slowly.
Until the golden core in his body was completely stabilized!
Luo Chen opened his mouth, making a breathing motion.
The next moment!
Under the gaze of everyone, the sky-piercing tornado formed by spiritual energy was forcibly sucked into his body by him.
At this moment, the sky was cloudless, and the weather was clear.
Only Luo Chen's long hair, which had completely regained its vitality and turned a deep, shiny black, fluttered behind him, reflecting his black eyes that clearly saw all things, like a god or a demon!
Opening his eyes.
His bright, spirited gaze overlooked the entire Mount Tianlan.
Tall buildings and palaces, streets of various sizes, faces with different expressions.
He saw the expectant expressions of the Luo Tian Society cultivators, saw the fearful and uneasy expressions of some former allies, and saw the reverent gazes of the cultivators flying outside Mount Tianlan Peak.
Even more, he felt more than ten powerful spiritual senses silently watching him.
"It seems that my Core Formation this time has truly caused quite a stir!"
If it were just Core Formation, it wouldn't have attracted so much attention.
It likely had to do with someone actively releasing the spiritual vein restriction, leading to a significant increase in the spiritual energy concentration of the immortal city.
At this moment, Luo Chen felt a bit of self-satisfaction, a bit of heroism, and countless joy and happiness.
Facing countless gazes, Luo Chen pondered for a moment and sang leisurely:
"The Great Dao is deep and distant, the secrets of the high truth, how can the wind and flow be known?
The innate one breath, the clear and turbid naturally divide.
If one does not know the reversal of Kan and Li, who can distinguish the sinking and floating of gold and wood?
In the subtle place, something is born from nothing, the dragon and tiger roar by the stream.
In the pot, true creation, heaven's essence and earth's marrow, yin soul and yang spirit.
Operating the celestial cycle of water and fire, balancing the cold and warm.
A hundred years to shed the mortal body and form the elixir, apart from this, all are side doors.
Do you know,
Walking through the dust of the world, truly few immortal sounds."
Dust and dust have traveled everywhere, truly few immortal sounds."
And that soft chanting voice, under the blessing of spiritual power, still rolled and radiated toward the entire immortal city.
All cultivators heard this poem.
Low-level cultivators, some curious ones, shouted loudly: "Senior has good literary talent!"
This was flattery, complimenting Luo Chen.
And those Foundation Establishment true cultivators, from indifference at the beginning, then their expressions changed slightly, and later they concentrated all their attention, trying not to miss a single word.
Some of the more profound Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators were even lost in thought, as if they had gained some insight.
Many people, after hearing the poem completely, either went straight back to their cave dwellings to practice or invited friends to discuss it impatiently.
Only those dozen or so Core Formation masters!
From the beginning of this poem, they all changed color in unison, their minds shaken.
When Luo Chen disappeared and returned to the cave dwelling.
These people still looked at that direction with complex expressions.
"This Fellow Daoist Luo is truly grand!"
"Good spirit!"
"As expected of the Fire Spirit Lord with the name of a gentleman, such style, this old man has truly never seen before."
"With such demeanor, and forming a core at such a young age, and being an alchemy master. Tsk tsk, I must befriend this fellow daoist!"
"I wonder after this, among the millions of cultivators in Mount Tianlan Xiancheng, how many can glimpse the true meaning and step onto the Core Formation Great Dao from now on!"
"Fellow Daoist Luo, congratulations!"
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, congratulations!"
In front of the Jia-3 cave dwelling gate, two Core Formation cultivators congratulated Luo Chen.
They were the Core Formation cultivator Senior Haoranzi, who was a guest in the immortal city, and the Luoyun Sect Core Formation cultivator Qu Qu Xibai, who was currently rotating in the immortal city.
Luo Chen smiled slightly, even though his long hair was scattered behind him, it couldn't hide his current demeanor of a successful true cultivator.
"This core formation was quite lucky. I must thank the two seniors for their guidance and care."
"Since you have already formed your core, you are a fellow traveler of our generation, so why the 'senior'?" Senior Haoranzi said freely.
Luo Chen smiled slightly, performed a salute with both hands, and immediately changed his address: "Luo Chen greets the two fellow daoists!"
Senior Haoranzi stroked his beard and laughed, also returning the Daoist salute only performed between peers.
And that Qu Qu Xibai, after returning the salute, couldn't help but marvel: "Fellow Daoist Luo is truly generous, even willing to share the secrets of Core Formation unselfishly; you are worthy of the name Spirit Lord!"
Yes!
After Luo Chen succeeded in forming his core just now, the poem he recited on the spur of the moment, although mostly a feeling from joy, indeed involved some things related to Core Formation.
Like the "Operating the celestial cycle of water and fire, balancing the cold and warm," which is the outline of the most common inferior Core Formation secret technique in the cultivation world.
And the "heaven's essence and earth's marrow, yin soul and yang spirit," what does it correspond to if not the requirement for the importance of the soul in the Luoyun Sect's Core Formation secret technique.
These things, although Luo Chen didn't give specific methods.
But he truly shared the overall outline and cultivation direction unselfishly through a poem.
If later generations couldn't find the corresponding secret technique, they could also strengthen their cultivation in a certain direction, and they would have one or two more chances of success when forming their cores.
If they obtained the corresponding secret technique, it would be even more like a tiger with wings!
It was precisely because of this that Luo Chen's poem had such a great influence among the relatively high-level cultivators in the immortal city.
Luo Chen chuckled, "It's just returning a peach for a plum. Fellow Daoist Qu released the immortal city's spiritual vein restriction to help me. I shared some Core Formation insights to fulfill a million fellow daoists, what's the harm?"
Qu Qu Xibai was stunned and couldn't help but look deeply at Luo Chen.
As if he wanted to keep him in his heart.
But at the moment, it was clearly not the best time for a long talk or sitting down to discuss the Dao.
Luo Chen had only just succeeded in forming his core, but his Core Formation realm had not yet been stabilized, and his golden core could collapse and his realm could fall at any time.
As the Luo Tian Society cultivators arrived on Mount Tianlan Peak one after another, Senior Haoranzi and Qu Qu Xibai took the initiative to bid farewell and leave.
As soon as the two left, the Luo Tian Society cultivators led by President Sima Hui Niang arrived at the cave dwelling gate.
Looking at the man in the ink-bamboo white robe with a smile on his face.
Everyone paused, then spoke in unison.
"Congratulations to the President on your Core Formation success, may your immortal path be prosperous!"
Luo Chen accepted this congratulation generously.
Naturally, he also saw the various expressions on these old acquaintances and old friends.
President Sima Hui Niang's admiration, Gu Gu Caiyi's affection, Qu Qu Lingjun's reverence, Wang Yuan's sincere respect, Chu Kui's complex envy, Duan Feng's rare excitement...
Many expressions gathered together, and they were all happy for him.
He smiled and said softly: "For these twenty years, I have not managed external affairs, you have all worked hard."
As a representative, President Sima Hui Niang performed a graceful salute.
"The word 'hard' is not worthy of the President; now that the President has successfully formed his core, you are the towering tree above our Luo Tian Society, shielding us from the wind and rain. You are the one who has worked hard."
Hard?
Of course it was hard.
Twenty years of bitter cultivation, seeing no outsiders, ignoring worldly affairs.
For the sake of Core Formation, his mind was tormented, his bones were labored, and every day he not only had to endure the intense pain of soul splitting but also had to study the Core Formation secret technique suitable for himself day and night.
When everything was prepared and he made a final charge, it was an even longer and painful experience.
But all the hardship, when the five-colored golden core was formed, meant nothing.
Now, he is a Core Formation cultivator, and can be respectfully called "Master Luo Chen" outside!
The small Luo Tian Society is also glorious because of him, and is no longer a second-rate force that can be ignored.
Everything should also change.
Luo Chen put away his smile and gave three instructions.
"The pioneering war is ten years away. For these ten years, apart from normal business, the Luo Tian Society should restrain its members and try not to have conflicts with others."
"And don't get carried away just because I have achieved Core Formation and provoke powerful enemies!"
This was expected.
All along, the Luo Tian Society had been following the philosophy of being kind to others and trying not to cause trouble.
Everyone was not surprised.
"I am going into seclusion to stabilize my realm, which will also take about ten years. Ten years later, I will hold a Core Formation Ceremony and invite fellow daoists from all sides; Gu Caiyi, you do this for me."
This was also a matter of course.
It's not easy to have a Core Formation cultivator, so it should be celebrated!
Not only to show Luo Chen's existence but also an opportunity for him to make connections with Core Formation masters.
Gu Gu Caiyi knew the importance of this matter and agreed immediately.
"Finally!"
Looking at the high-level members of the Luo Tian Society, Luo Chen's gaze gradually fell on President Sima Hui Niang.
The other party seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but tremble slightly, with a hint of excitement.
"Since I have achieved the Core Formation Great Dao, I am no longer alone."
"The Luo Tian Society should also establish a sect, make a name for itself in the cultivation world, and leave behind an inheritance."
"From now on, I will be the Supreme Elder, and you will be the Sect Master!"
"All affairs of establishing the sect will be the responsibility of you, the first-generation Sect Master, President Sima Hui Niang. I hope that when I hold the Core Formation Ceremony, it will also be the day the Luo Tian Sect makes a name for itself in the Yuding Domain."
After giving these three instructions.
Luo Chen smiled slightly at everyone.
"Fellow daoists, the immortal path is long, let us encourage each other!"
Everyone bowed and promised in unison.
"Willing to walk with you!"
