Chapter 452: The road to immortality is long, walking with you

Core Formation!

Someone is forming a Core!

Although such things are rare, the Yuding Domain has seen a spurt of new Jin Dan cultivators one after another over the years, so it's not that sensational.

Even in Tianlan Immortal City, 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 Tianlan Peak was truly a bit too big.

Not to mention anything else!

Just on Tianlan Peak, many cultivators practicing in cave dwellings instantly sensed that something was wrong.

At first, it was just the spiritual energy in their own cave dwellings that was agitated, as if being pulled by someone, unable to wait to vent outwards.

Later on, the spiritual vein suddenly shook, and large patches 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 uncertainty.

And when they saw the Daoist sitting cross-legged in the sky-reaching tornado formed by spiritual energy, they all changed color together.

What kind of foundation could create such a massive momentum?

The cultivators practicing inside Tianlan Peak were affected.

Not to mention the people in the immortal city?

From the moment the Core Formation phenomenon appeared, many people noticed it.

As the Luoyun Sect cultivators released the spiritual vein restrictions, and the earth vein spiritual energy that had been confined and suppressed was completely released, even some customers 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 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 Jin Dan was.

"Danchenzi has finally taken this step!"

"Is that the 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, haven't you!"

"Tsk tsk, with such a grand formation, one can see how much foundation he accumulated during the Foundation Establishment stage. Those outsider cultivators who tried to discuss swords with him on the Dao Discussion Platform are lucky they didn't run into him, otherwise, they would have lost all face."

"Losing to Senior Luo Chen is not a shame."

"This person could kill a Jin Dan in reverse during Foundation Establishment; 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 age."

"First Chu Kui failed in Core Formation, then Luo Chen is strongly forming a Core; this Luotian Association is destined to rise!"

"Maybe the Luotian Association can use this opportunity to build a sect. If they luckily win a third-tier spiritual land in the opening war, then in the future, they must be a Jin Dan major sect!"

"Is the fellow Daoist taking the Jin Dan major sect too lightly?"

"Lightly? You have to understand, Senior Luo Chen is a famous alchemy master; you don't think no Jin Dan True Person wants to take the initiative to make friends with him, do you!"

"Uh..."

Countless discussions arose in every part of the immortal city.

Some talked about Luo Chen's rise, some talked about Luo Chen's relationship with major sects, and some talked about Luo Chen's future.

Many low-tier cultivators at this moment wished they could substitute themselves for Luo Chen, imagining how brilliant and happy the future would be.

Among them, most of those talking about the Luotian Association were local cultivators.

And speak of the devil, and he appears.

From the first moment the Core Formation phenomenon appeared on Tianlan Peak, the Danxia Hall located on the Central Avenue sent a voice transmission to Danxia Peak.

Therefore, not long after, cultivators from Danxia Peak came together.

The Langqi flying boat entered the immortal city and originally wanted to fly close to the ground.

But looking at the densely packed crowd on the street, the Luotian Association cultivators gave up this plan.

One by one, they got off the flying boat, operated the Wind-Riding Technique, and quickly ran towards the Central Avenue, which was closer to Tianlan Peak.

Soon.

Led by Sima Huiniang and Wang Yuan, the Luotian Association cultivators saw Gu Caiyi and others waiting expectantly at the gate.

"How is it?"

Before she could catch her breath, Sima Huiniang asked impatiently.

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 couldn't help but change slightly.

When an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivator forms a Core, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth only takes one stick of incense.

Just how vigorous 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 towards the top of Tianlan Peak.

The Daoist in the middle was sitting cross-legged, hair and beard fluttering, crazily swallowing these spiritual energies of heaven and earth.

When he was shocked.

The Luotian Association cultivators held their breath, not daring to breathe, as if they were the ones forming the Core.

The Qu Lingjun couple, the Duan Feng couple, Li Yingzhang, Xu Huanzhen...

Except for a few Foundation Establishment True Cultivators left behind in various places, almost all the high-level members of the Luotian Association had arrived.

Everyone, with a nervous, incredibly excited, and expectant mood, looked up at Luo Chen's figure.

Inside the spiritual energy tornado.

Luo Chen's eyes were tightly closed, and his lips were slightly open.

Apart from the roaring sound of wind and clouds outside, his body was still emitting thunderous sounds.

This was the strange sound caused by the five-colored Jin Dan in his body crazily swallowing external spiritual energy after it was formed.

This sound had already appeared when he was in the cave dwelling before.

Luo Chen also realized at that time that this third-tier spiritual land cave dwelling didn't seem to be able to support him in taking the final step.

External spiritual energy was not enough to stably support the solidification of the Jin Dan!

Therefore, he no longer suppressed himself, actively released that suction force, and formed a sky-reaching tornado to absorb the wandering spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Tianlan Peak.

But even so, it was still not enough!

Just when he was about to destroy the restrictions of various cave dwellings on Tianlan Peak regardless of everything and forcibly absorb the spiritual energy within them.

He suddenly felt more spiritual energy surging out from under 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 Core to absorb spiritual energy, using the body to settle the Jin Dan!

One stick of incense, two sticks of incense...

Unknowingly, five sticks of incense passed in a flash.

In normal times, these five sticks of incense were nothing, but for Luo Chen at this moment, it felt as if every minute and every second passed so slowly.

Until the Jin Dan in his body was completely stabilized!

Luo Chen opened his mouth and made a breathing motion.

The next moment!

Under the gaze of everyone, the sky-reaching tornado formed by spiritual energy was actually swallowed into his body by him forcibly.

At this moment, the sky was clear for ten thousand miles.

Only Luo Chen's long hair, which had completely recovered its vitality and turned dark and shiny, fluttered behind him.

Opened his eyes.

His bright and spirited gaze overlooked the entire Tianlan.

High-rise palaces, streets of various sizes, faces with different expressions.

He saw the expectant expressions of the Luotian Association cultivators, saw the fearful and uneasy expressions of some former allies, and saw the admiring gazes of cultivators flying outside Tianlan Peak.

And he felt more than ten powerful spiritual senses silently watching him in the invisible.

"It seems that my Core Formation this time has really caused quite a stir!"

If it were just Core Formation, it wouldn't have attracted so much attention.

I imagine it's related to someone actively releasing the spiritual vein restrictions of the immortal city, leading to a significant increase in the concentration of spiritual energy in the immortal city.

At this moment, Luo Chen felt a bit proud, a bit heroic, and countless joy in his heart.

Facing the gaze of countless people, Luo Chen pondered for a moment and sang leisurely:

"The Great Dao is deep and far, the secrets of the high truth, how can the wind and flow be known.

Innate one qi, clear and turbid naturally divide.

If you don't know the reversal of Kan and Li, who can distinguish, the sinking and floating of metal and wood?

In the subtle place, something 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 soul.

Operating the water and fire of the cycle, balancing cold and warmth.

A hundred years of rebirth and pill completion, apart from this, all are side doors.

Do you know,

Walking all over the dust, there is truly little immortal sound."

After the poem was recited, Luo Chen gave a simple Daoist salute to the countless cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City, and his figure disappeared in a fluttering manner.

And that soft singing voice, under the blessing of spiritual power, still rolled and radiated to the entire immortal city.

All cultivators heard this poem.

Among the Qi Refining generation, some who loved excitement 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 skilled late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were thoughtful, as if they had realized something.

Many people, after completely listening to this poem, either returned to their cave dwellings to practice or invited friends to discuss it impatiently.

Only those dozen or so Jin Dan True Persons!

From the beginning of this poem, they all changed color together, their hearts shaking.

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, I have truly never seen such a style before."

"With such bearing, and forming a Core at such a young age, and also being an alchemy master. Tsk tsk, I must make friends with this fellow Daoist!"

"I don't know how many of the million cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City can glimpse the true meaning of this after this encounter, and from then on step onto the Jin Dan Great Dao!"

"Fellow Daoist Luo, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, congratulations!"

In front of the Jia-3 cave dwelling gate, two Jin Dan cultivators congratulated Luo Chen.

They were the Jin Dan cultivator Haoranzi who served in the immortal city, and the Luotian Sect Jin Dan cultivator Qu Xibai who was currently on duty in the immortal city.

Luo Chen smiled slightly; even with his long hair scattered behind him, it couldn't hide his demeanor as a true cultivator who had achieved the Dao.

"This Core Formation was quite lucky. I must thank the two seniors for their guidance and care."

"Since you have formed a Core, you are a fellow traveler of our generation, so why call us seniors?" 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!"

Haoranzi stroked his beard and laughed, also returning the Daoist salute that only peers would perform.

And Qu Xibai, after returning the salute, couldn't help but admire: "Fellow Daoist Luo is truly generous, even willing to share the secrets of Core Formation selflessly, truly worthy of the name Spirit Lord!"

Yes!

The poem Luo Chen recited after successfully forming his Core was mostly an emotional outburst from joy.

But some of the things involved were indeed related to Core Formation.

Like "operating the water and fire of the cycle, balancing cold and warmth," which was the outline of the most common inferior Core Formation secret technique in the cultivation world.

And "heaven's essence and earth's marrow, yin soul and yang soul" corresponded to the requirements for the importance of the soul in the Luoyun Sect's Core Formation secret technique.

These things, Luo Chen didn't give specific methods.

But he truly shared the overall outline and cultivation direction selflessly through a poem.

Later generations, even if they couldn't find the corresponding secret technique, could strengthen their cultivation in a certain direction and have one or two more chances of success during Core Formation.

If they obtained the corresponding secret technique, it would be even more like a tiger with wings!

Precisely because of this, Luo Chen's poem had such a great influence among the relatively high-tier cultivators in the immortal city.

Luo Chen smiled lightly, "It's just returning a peach for a plum. Fellow Daoist Qu released the immortal city's spiritual vein restrictions to help me. I shared some Core Formation insights to fulfill the million fellow Daoists, what's the harm?"

Qu Xibai was startled and couldn't help but look deeply at Luo Chen.

As if he wanted to keep him in his heart.

However, it was clear that this was not the best time for chatting and discussing the Dao.

Luo Chen had only just succeeded in Core Formation, but his Jin Dan realm was not yet stable, and the Jin Dan could collapse and his realm could fall at any time.

As the Luotian Association cultivators arrived on Tianlan Peak one after another, Haoranzi and Qu Xibai took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

As soon as the two left, the Luotian Association cultivators led by Sima Huiniang 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 together.

"Congratulations to the President on successful Core Formation, may the immortal path be prosperous!"

Luo Chen accepted this congratulation generously.

Naturally, he also saw the various expressions on the faces of these old acquaintances and old friends.

Sima Huiniang's admiration, Gu Caiyi's affectionate gaze, Qu Lingjun's adoration, 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 ignored external affairs, and you have all worked hard."

As a representative, Sima Huiniang bowed gracefully.

"The President's hard work is not something we can bear. Now that the President has successfully formed a Core, you are the towering tree above our Luotian Association, shielding us from the wind and rain; you are the one who has worked hard."

Was it hard?

Of course it was hard.

Twenty years of bitter cultivation, seeing no outsiders, ignoring worldly affairs.

For Core Formation, his mind was tormented, his muscles and bones were labored, and every day he not only had to endure the extreme pain of soul splitting but also had to study the Core Formation secret technique suitable for himself day and night.

When everything was ready and he made the final charge, it was a long and painful experience.

But all the hardship, when the five-colored Jin Dan was formed, meant nothing.

Now, he was a Jin Dan cultivator, and could be respectfully called "True Person Luo Chen" outside!

The small Luotian Association was also glorious because of him, and was no longer a second-rate force that could be ignored.

Everything should also change.

Luo Chen put away his smile and ordered three things.

"The opening war is still ten years away. In these ten years, apart from normal business, restrain the cultivators in the association and try not to have conflicts with others."

"And don't get carried away because I have achieved Jin Dan and provoke strong enemies!"

This was as it should be.

All along, the Luotian Association 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, hold a Core Formation Ceremony and invite fellow Daoists from all sides; Caiyi, you do this for me."

This was also as it should be.

It was not easy to have a Jin Dan cultivator, so it should be celebrated!

Not only to show Luo Chen's existence but also an opportunity for him to make connections with Jin Dan period people.

Gu Caiyi knew the importance of this matter and agreed immediately.

"Finally!"

Looking at the high-level members of the Luotian Association, Luo Chen's gaze gradually fell on Sima Huiniang.

The other party seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but tremble slightly, with a hint of excitement.

"Since I have achieved the Jin Dan Great Dao, I am no longer a loner."

"The Luotian Association should also build a sect, make a name for itself in the cultivation world, and leave behind a heritage."

"From now on, I am the Supreme Elder, and you are the Sect Master!"

"All affairs of establishing the sect will be the responsibility of you, the first-generation Sect Master, Sima Huiniang. I hope that when I hold the Core Formation Ceremony, it will also be the day my Luotian Sect makes a name for itself in the Yuding Domain."

After ordering these three things.

Luo Chen smiled at everyone.

"Fellows, the road to immortality is long, let us encourage each other!"

Everyone bowed and promised together.

"Willing to walk with you!"
