Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 231: Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon, Radiant Light

Immortal Mist Sect.

Peak of Pill Refinement.

Many pill masters of the Immortal Mist Sect were listening attentively to the pill refinement course taught by Ma Qianjun, the peak master of the Pill Refinement Peak. Each of them was completely absorbed in it.

After all, Ma Qianjun was the strongest pill master of the Immortal Mist Sect, second only to Zhou Sui, and had reached the Rank Two High Grade.

If he advanced to the Gold Core stage, he might become a Rank Three pill master.

Otherwise, being a Rank Two High Grade pill master would be the limit.

Boom~

At this moment, the entire Pill Refinement Peak suddenly trembled slightly. All the pill masters looked at each other, completely unaware of what was happening, feeling extremely curious.

Even Ma Qianjun stopped his lecture and couldn't help but look towards the distance.

But the duration of this tremor was not very long.

Moreover, since this was the headquarters of the Immortal Mist Sect and there were Gold Core Perfected Beings present, naturally no one was too worried.

"What happened?!"

Ma Qianjun's figure flashed and he left the Pill Refinement Peak, looking towards the direction of the Immortal Radiance Peak, where the sect master and others resided, and where the tremor originated from.

Not only Ma Qianjun, but also many Foundation Building cultivators flew over.

"Don't worry, Zhou Lang is in Core Formation."

"Just focus on your own tasks."

At this moment, a voice transmitted through divine sense suddenly came, reaching deep into the ears of every Foundation Building cultivator.

The person transmitting the divine sense was none other than Leng Yuxi, the sect master of the Immortal Mist Sect.

What?!

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Foundation Building elders present changed drastically. They looked at each other, almost unable to believe what they heard, in shock.

"Could it be that Elder Zhou is in Core Formation?"

One Foundation Building elder couldn't believe it.

"Besides Elder Zhou, who else would the sect master address as Zhou Lang?"

Ma Qianjun said with a sigh.

His expression was extremely complicated, as if he had mixed feelings.

"This is too unbelievable. Wasn't Elder Zhou just a Low Grade Spirit Root? How many years has he been cultivating? And now he's about to attempt Core Formation?!" One Foundation Building elder was dumbfounded.

He knew that Zhou Sui had only reached Foundation Building at the age of twenty-four, and had been cultivating in the Foundation Building stage for only thirty years. And now he was about to attempt Core Formation?!

To be honest, he almost couldn't believe such a thing. It was simply absurd.

"Yes, it's too fast."

"I've been cultivating in the Foundation Building stage for a hundred years, and I still haven't reached Foundation Building Perfection."

"But now Elder Zhou is about to attempt Core Formation. How could he cultivate so quickly?"

"Even if he has a Gold Core Dao companion helping him, it's still too unbelievable."

Another Foundation Building elder swallowed his saliva. He didn't know what to say. He was green with envy.

Comparison breeds resentment. Compared to Zhou Sui, he felt like he had wasted his life.

"Who said Elder Zhou has a Low Grade Spirit Root? Have any of you tested Elder Zhou's Spirit Root?"

Suddenly, someone asked in response.

This!

Hearing this, the surrounding Foundation Building elders were dumbfounded. To be honest, no one present had personally tested Zhou Sui's Spirit Root. They all just assumed that Zhou Sui had a Low Grade Spirit Root because he was an Independent Cultivator. So they all believed it, but in fact, no one had actually tested Zhou Sui's Spirit Root.

After all, Zhou Sui's entry into the sect was unconventional.

Others had to pass the entrance assessment to enter the Immortal Mist Sect.

But this kid, he became the sect master's Dao companion directly, reaching the sky in one step. Who would dare to test him?

"You see, none of us knew Elder Zhou's Spirit Root grade before."

Ma Qianjun said with a sigh.

"It's just that I thought Elder Zhou was a Low Grade Spirit Root because he used to be an Independent Cultivator."

"But in fact, Elder Zhou's talent is probably beyond imagination."

"I think Elder Zhou is not just a Superior Spirit Root, he might even be a Heaven Spirit Root cultivator."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to cultivate at such a fast speed."

A Foundation Building elder sighed.

He believed that only this explanation could account for Zhou Sui's cultivation speed.

He must be a Heaven Spirit Root cultivator.

"That's indeed very possible."

"Think about it, aside from Elder Zhou's spirit root level."

"Just talking about Elder Zhou's alchemy skills, he has already reached the level of Rank Three."

"Which Foundation Building cultivator can become a Rank Three alchemist? As far as I know, even the Infinite Unity Alliance doesn't have such an existence."

"Exactly! Elder Zhou is not only a Rank Three alchemist, but his formation skills have also reached the level of Rank Three."

"During the last invasion by the Red Blood Old Monster and others, if it weren't for Elder Zhou's leadership in the formation, our Xianxia City would have been doomed."

"Looking at it this way, Elder Zhou is truly an unprecedented genius."

"To be honest, this is purely talent, not something that can be accumulated through resources."

"That's true. The Infinite Unity Alliance also has many descendants of Nascent Soul cultivators, and they have obtained far more resources than Elder Zhou. But who can compare to Elder Zhou?"

"Leaving aside everything else, just talking about formations, it's purely a skill that relies on comprehension. Without comprehension, no matter how many resources you have, they are useless. Having more resources only helps to improve cultivation, but it doesn't have much use in understanding formations."

"No wonder not only Elder Leng, but even Elder Shen and Elder Lin are willing to be his Dao companions and willingly lower themselves. How could it be just because they are attracted to Elder Zhou's appearance?"

"That's true. If Elder Zhou is a Heaven Spirit Root cultivator, combined with his skills in alchemy and formations, he will definitely become a prominent figure in the Canglan Sea Region. It's not impossible for him to become a Nascent Soul ancestor."

"To reach Core Formation at the age of fifty-four, it's not surprising that he might become a Nascent Soul ancestor in the future."

"Back then, Elder Leng reached Core Formation in his eighties and was hailed as the number one genius of the Immortal Mist Sect in a thousand years. Now, Elder Zhou reaching Core Formation at the age of fifty-four is truly unprecedented."

"If Elder Zhou successfully forms his Nascent Soul in the future, then our Immortal Mist Sect might regain the power it had three thousand years ago as a Nascent Soul sect."

Many Foundation Building elders discussed eagerly.

They were all getting excited.

For them, they had long recognized Zhou Sui's existence.

The stronger Zhou Sui became, the greater the benefits for them.

After all, it's good to be under the shade of a big tree.

If Zhou Sui really becomes a Nascent Soul ancestor in the future, they would all be overjoyed.

"Elder Zhou is truly a natural genius."

The Peak Master of the Pill Peak, Ma Qianjun, sighed.

He also remembered the first time he met Zhou Sui. At first, he thought this kid was just a gigolo, relying on flattering the Sect Master and women to rise in status.

But as time went on, this kid gradually showed his talent in alchemy and formations, which made even an old alchemist like him have to admire him.

Setting aside his spirit root talent, such talent alone is enough to establish oneself in any sect.

And now, he was even starting Core Formation.

Surpassing even his senior.

He used to feel jealous, but now he didn't even have that feeling.

When the gap is too big, there is no room for jealousy, only sincere admiration.

...

At this time, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, Leng Yuxi, Lin Yazhu, and Shen Biqian, the six women, were waiting nervously outside the Cave Mansion on Xianxia Peak.

They were also very worried about Zhou Sui's Core Formation this time.

Because this time, Zhou Sui was not only attempting Core Formation, but he was also attempting it independently.

The risk involved was unknown.

They couldn't believe that their husband would make such a decision.

"I wonder if Husband will succeed in Core Formation this time?"

Xia Jingyan's face was filled with worry.

"Don't worry, there definitely won't be any problems."

"You all know Husband's personality."

"If there wasn't absolute certainty, how could he attempt independent Core Formation?"

"And he also has the Golden Liquid Jade Pill."

"If any unexpected situation arises, there will still be a chance for remedy."

Leng Yuxi said in a deep voice.

"That's true."

"Husband wouldn't do anything without certainty."

Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyan also agreed with this point.

To be honest, no one is more cautious than their Husband.

They couldn't imagine what risky things their Husband could do.

Since he dares to do such things, it means there isn't much risk.

"This is also Husband's choice."

"If he can successfully achieve independent Core Formation, then the probability of Infant Formation in the future will greatly increase."

"One step ahead, step by step."

Shen Biqian sighed.

Of course, she knew that independent Core Formation greatly increases the probability of Infant Formation, but the success rate of independent Core Formation is too low.

Even if she has a First Grade Spirit Root, when she formed her Core Formation in the past, she relied on Core Formation spiritual objects to barely pass.

If there were no Core Formation spiritual objects, she would probably have failed.

From this, it can be seen that those who can achieve independent Core Formation are one in a million.

Even Heaven Spirit Root cultivators, in order to avoid risks, mostly use Core Formation spiritual objects.

"There's nothing we can do now."

The only thing we can do is choose to believe."

"The most important thing is not to let anyone disturb Husband's Core Formation."

Lin Yazhu said with a murderous aura.

"Yes."

Leng Yuxi and the others nodded.

They were also guarding outside the Cave Mansion, preventing any unexpected factors from disturbing Husband's Core Formation process.

...

Inside the Cave Mansion, Zhou Sui was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

After all, his energy was completely focused on Core Formation, and other matters had little to do with him.

The result was exactly as he had expected.

Because his foundation was extremely solid and he was fully prepared, there were no surprises in Core Formation.

A Gold Core, radiating endless golden light, formed deep in his dantian and sea of qi.

On it appeared mysterious runes, presenting a noble and dark golden color.

However, because it had just formed, this Gold Core had not completely stabilized.

In fact, he had already successfully formed his Core.

The rest was just a matter of refining, needing to absorb a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to condense a formidable Gold Core.

Of course, the deeper the foundation, the stronger the condensed Gold Core would be.

But don't think that this is 100% guaranteed.

In fact, during this process, various inner demons would arise in his consciousness, affecting the complete formation of this Gold Core. If he is truly deceived by the inner demons, his Core Formation would fail.

In the end, it would form a False Core, and there would be no chance.

Boom!

At this moment, Zhou Sui activated the Divine Gu Sutra, and boundless spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged into his dantian and sea of qi, being absorbed and devoured by this Gold Core.

I saw that this Gold Core was growing little by little, elevating at a visible speed.

During this process, it inevitably absorbed some demonic energy between heaven and earth.

This also caused the emergence of inner demons.

Although it wasn't as terrifying as the inner demon tribulation during the Infant Formation stage, it was a fatal blow to cultivators with unstable Dao hearts.

Boom~~

Just at this moment, an invisible force of inner demons surged forth, instantly dragging Zhou Sui's soul into an illusion.

Suddenly, Zhou Sui's vision darkened, and he immediately found himself in a luxurious, magnificent palace, surrounded by countless stunning beauties who were barely dressed.

Each of them exuded charm and allure, ready to be plucked by anyone.

Ordinary cultivators couldn't withstand such a temptation and would instantly sink and be unable to extricate themselves.

"It's fake, too fake."

"Is this the level of the inner demon trial?"

Zhou Sui blinked his eyes. For other cultivators, perhaps this scene was extremely realistic, as if they were truly there.

But after mastering the Dream Soul Gu, he became a master of illusions, wielding the power of dreams.

The power of inner demons and the power of dreams were actually quite similar.

So, this kind of inner demon illusion presented before him was like playing with a big knife in front of Guan Yu, or buying articles in front of Confucius.

"Eat it."

Zhou Sui commanded the Dream Soul Gu.

Buzz~~

Immediately, a worm appeared in this ethereal inner demon illusion.

For the inner demon, this was no different from encountering a primordial behemoth.

The Dream Soul Gu opened its big mouth and fiercely bit down, instantly devouring a portion of the inner demon illusion.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

"How could this happen?"

"How can this cultivator harm our inner demons?"

"Escape, quickly escape."

In an instant, a mournful scream came from within the illusion, followed by the panicked escape of one inner demon after another.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Having already advanced to the Rank Three lower-grade realm, the Dream Soul Gu's power had increased by an unknown number of times.

Vortex-like power emerged from its body, as if a black hole had appeared.

The entire world formed by the inner demon illusion instantly turned into a bubble, then was swallowed into its stomach.

One inner demon after another was completely devoured by the Dream Soul Gu, becoming its food.

At this moment, the power of the Dream Soul Gu also increased exponentially.

It seemed to have gained more benefits than devouring the souls of human cultivators, as if it had eaten a great tonic.

"Wait, could it be that these inner demons are not only unique creatures born from cultivators' hearts?"

"But also unique creatures bred from the outside world?"

Zhou Sui was full of doubts, not understanding the origin of the inner demons.

But before he could think further, the original inner demon illusion instantly collapsed, and his soul returned once again.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

This inner demon tribulation was easily overcome without any effort.

And after devouring the inner demons, Zhou Sui felt a moment of clarity in his heart, as if he had cleared away the dust deep within his heart, reaching a state of clear Dao heart.

For cultivators, every time they eliminate inner demons, it is a qualitative improvement.

The benefits of this are self-evident.

This time, there were no more obstacles.

And as Zhou Sui continued to cultivate, a hundred days passed in the blink of an eye.
