Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 284: Successful Promotion to Core Formation

"So it seems that this man is truly unparalleled in talent, outstanding among the rest."

Venerable Peach Blossom's heart was stirred with excitement.

She felt that perhaps she needed to take the initiative. If she didn't, she feared that the things she had set her eyes on would be snatched away by other fox spirits. It wouldn't even be her turn.

This was how the cultivation world worked, everything relied on competition, on seizing.

Millennium spiritual herbs, Rank Four elixirs, High Grade Spiritual Treasures, Soul Formation techniques, and so on, all required one to personally make a move and seize them. There were no free lunches in this world.

A good man, if she didn't make a move to snatch him, would be taken by other bad women.

The idea of a good woman silently waiting for a man to pursue her was long outdated.

A true woman had to take the initiative.

Knock, knock, knock!!!

At this moment, a knocking sound came from outside.

"Come in."

Venerable Peach Blossom's heart moved, immediately sensing that several female cultivators had arrived outside. She knew that they must be Zhou Sui's companions, seemingly wanting to meet her.

With a crack, the door opened, and several stunning beauties came into view.

It was none other than Lin Yazhu, Chu Dieyi, and others.

They had also heard the news about Venerable Peach Blossom, so they came to visit.

After all, the other party was a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Such characters were actually quite rare in the entire Canglan Sea Region.

"Fellow Daoist Peach Blossom."

"We actually came this time to ask something."

"Oh, I wonder what it is?"

Venerable Peach Blossom asked curiously.

"Previously, I heard from my husband that my master, the Heavenly Demon Sect's Sect Master, and others are currently trapped in the formation of the Withering Glory Sect. I don't know if this is true?"

Chu Dieyi asked.

"That's right, it is indeed true."

"But actually, you don't need to worry."

"My father, Infinite Daoist, and your master, the Heavenly Demon Sect's Sect Master, are both great cultivators at the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

"In addition, there are many other Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators gathered in the Canglan Sea Region."

"Although the forbidden formation in the core area of the Withering Glory Sect is formidable."

"But for a while, they won't be able to do anything to them."

Venerable Peach Blossom immediately understood what Chu Dieyi wanted to know and straightforwardly said.

"That's great."

Upon hearing this, Chu Dieyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, her master, Qian Ziyun, had always been good to her, like both a teacher and a mother. She didn't want to see anything happen to her master.

"I heard that you just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. How about we have a discussion?"

Venerable Peach Blossom's eyes lit up, smiling slightly as she made her suggestion.

Clearly, she was actively showing her goodwill.

If she were to have a relationship with that man in the future, these female cultivators would be her sisters.

So it would be better to establish a good relationship in advance.

"That would be disrespectful."

Lin Yazhu and Chu Dieyi's eyes brightened, feeling excited.

After all, they were both cultivators who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, and they were still ignorant about their future cultivation.

As for Venerable Peach Blossom, she was already a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

With such a senior willing to give guidance, they couldn't ask for more.

Ji Bingyu and the others were also overjoyed. After all, even though they were only at the Foundation Building stage, they would still benefit greatly from listening to the discussion of such Nascent Soul cultivators.

If they were still on Xianxia Island, still ordinary Foundation Building cultivators, where would they have the opportunity to come into contact with such seniors?

Even if they were Gold Core Perfected Beings, they might not have many chances either.

...

On the other hand, Zhou Sui didn't know that his companions had started to get acquainted with each other, even discussing cultivation.

After cultivating with his companions earlier, he was full of energy and in high spirits.

At this moment, he immersed his divine sense in the Formation Heart Gu.

Because he sensed that after years of erosion, the Formation Heart Gu had finally grasped a part of the core of the Withering Glory Sect's ruins, and had begun to control a portion of the power of the Withering Glory Sect's Rank Five formation.

Boom~

At this moment, he found that his divine sense had appeared within the Formation Heart Gu.

He seemed to be overlooking the entire island from the perspective of a creator god.

No matter where on the island, he could perceive it clearly, without missing any details.

"So that's it."

"This is the Rank Five High Grade formation of Withering Glory Sect, the Four Images Withering and Flourishing Formation."

"And this formation is the strongest killing formation of Withering Glory Sect."

"Once the formation is activated, the lifespan of the creatures inside the formation will rapidly diminish."

"Being hit by a Withering and Flourishing Divine Light will instantly consume a hundred years of lifespan."

"Even a Soul Formation cultivator with a lifespan of three thousand years cannot withstand it for long."

Zhou Sui exclaimed in astonishment.

In the past, Withering Glory Sect used this Rank Five High Grade formation to dominate the Canglan Sea Region for tens of thousands of years, becoming the unrivaled overlord.

Its reputation spread throughout the entire cultivation world.

Even other continents have heard of the reputation of Withering Glory Sect, which is truly terrifying.

The foundation of each Soul Formation sect is unimaginable.

"A Rank Five formation is actually so unfathomable?"

At this moment, Zhou Sui sensed an endless amount of information coming from the Formation Heart Gu, which was incredibly complex.

The complexity of a Rank Five formation is at least ten times that of a Rank Four formation.

Even in ancient times, there were very few cultivators who could become Rank Five formation masters.

The complexity of it made his head spin.

Fortunately, with the help of the Formation Heart Gu, he could understand it. Otherwise, with his comprehension, it would take him hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, to comprehend it.

From this, one can see the complexity of a Rank Five formation.

Of course, once learned, the power unleashed by a Rank Five formation is unimaginable.

"Wait, if that's the case, why haven't Wuji Daoist and the others died yet?"

Zhou Sui's heart moved.

He sensed that Wuji Daoist, Tian Suan Daoist, Chong Xu Daoist, Qian Ziyun, Ye Feirou, and the Seven Emotions Demon Lord, all Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, were currently trapped in a formation.

This is the Rank Five Low Grade formation, the Wood Burial Life Formation.

Undoubtedly, this is a Rank Five level trapping formation.

Even though Wuji Daoist and the others are Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, they are still helpless against a Rank Five trapping formation.

They are all imprisoned in the formation and cannot escape.

But their luck is not bad.

They are only trapped in the formation.

If they really escape from the formation and enter the killing formation, with just one encounter, the Withering and Flourishing Divine Light will descend and their lifespan will be completely deprived, leading to their death.

From a certain perspective, their luck is indeed good.

At least they haven't lost their lives.

"Hmm, it seems that these guys are about to escape."

"No, I can't let them escape."

"They must be temporarily trapped here."

Zhou Sui sensed that Wuji Daoist and the others seemed to be constantly testing the power of the Wood Burial Life Formation.

These Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators have many means.

They also have many Rank Four talismans, and even Rank Five talismans.

In addition, the Wood Burial Life Formation has been neglected for a long time and has been eroded by the passage of time. If not stopped, they will definitely break the formation and escape from this Rank Five formation.

To be honest, he doesn't want these Nascent Soul cultivators to escape for now.

After all, he is about to form his Nascent Soul.

If they really escape, it might affect his Nascent Soul formation.

Instead of waiting for these old monsters to make a move, it's better to take the initiative.

Using the power of the Rank Five Low Grade Wood Burial Life Formation, temporarily trap these Nascent Soul old monsters.

After he ascends to Nascent Soul, he can release these Nascent Soul old monsters.

Thinking of this, he had a thought and immediately gave an order to the Formation Heart Gu.

Boom~

Just at this moment, the Wood Burial Life Formation started to move. The formation, which had been dead for who knows how long, seemed to have given birth to a formation spirit and began to activate.

The formation flags at each formation node started to move, emitting a green light. The entire formation seemed to be filled with endless formation power, and a green mist emerged, covering the entire island.

Naturally, this scene shocked Wuji Daoist and the others.

"Haha, just a Rank Five formation, we are about to break it."

"Even the ancient Soul Formation sects can't do anything to us."

"Let's see how we break this trapping formation."

The Demon Lord of the Seven Emotions laughed heartily, filled with joy. He saw the dawn of breaking through the formation, and couldn't contain his excitement.

Boom~~~

But at this moment, the entire Wood Burial Formation underwent a tremendous change. Many formation nodes began to move, causing spatial transformations and forming a maze in the void.

In an instant, the formation became more than a hundred times more complex.

At this moment, none of the Nascent Soul cultivators present could perceive any of the formation nodes. The difference between a Rank Five formation controlled by someone and one that wasn't controlled by anyone was like night and day.

"What the hell is going on?"

"This Rank Five formation seems to have come alive, someone is manipulating it."

"Damn it, didn't the Withering Glory Sect disappear tens of thousands of years ago? How is it possible for someone to still be alive?"

The Nascent Soul cultivators looked at each other, their faces extremely ugly.

They felt the seriousness of the situation. A Rank Five formation controlled by someone was completely different from one that was uncontrolled. Its power increased by more than tenfold.

If there was no one controlling it, they might still be able to decipher the Rank Five formation with their various means. But now, someone was manipulating this Rank Five formation.

If the enemy had malicious intent, they would all die in this place.

"Damn it, we've been tricked. This Soul Formation relic is a trap."

"Somebody is plotting against us."

Tian Suan Dao Ren and the others had serious expressions. They were certain that someone was planning to ambush them.

Otherwise, why didn't they attack when they were deciphering the outer formation, but chose to attack when they started deciphering the core area?

It was obvious that someone was secretly observing them, ready to strike at any moment.

Now they had indeed fallen into the enemy's trap and were completely helpless.

"The person plotting against us is definitely not as strong as us."

"Otherwise, there would be no need for such a conspiracy."

"The problem is that the Withering Glory Sect has fallen tens of thousands of years ago. How could there still be people alive, even if they were Nascent Soul cultivators?"

"It's not the cultivators of the ancient Withering Glory Sect, perhaps it's a disciple who inherited the Withering Glory Sect's techniques. The hidden cultivator may have obtained the inheritance of the Withering Glory Sect. When the Withering Glory Sect's Soul Formation relic appeared, they came to the island and took control of the prohibition formation here. We were careless and fell into the enemy's trap."

"Damn bastard, I never expected to be pecked in the eye while hunting geese."

"Don't let me find you, otherwise I won't let you off."

Many Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators were furious, their lungs almost exploding.

Who could have expected that they would fall into the enemy's trap due to a momentary carelessness, facing a Rank Five formation's power, they were completely helpless.

Boom~~~

Not only the core area, but the entire island was covered in a layer of white mist.

The damaged formation was rapidly repaired.

The power of the Wood Burial Formation was fully unleashed, enveloping the entire island.

All the cultivators who were still on the island were trapped in this area without exception.

As for the cultivators who wanted to enter from outside, they were blocked by layers of prohibition formations. The island was covered by three layers of barriers, and no cultivator could enter.

At this moment, the Soul Formation relic had become a cage that bound the cultivators, like a giant beast that chose its prey.

"Not bad, not bad. With this, the Soul Formation relic belongs completely to me."

Zhou Sui, who was on Xianxia Peak, laughed heartily, filled with joy.

Other cultivators were cautiously exploring the Soul Formation relic, hoping to obtain some treasures from it.

But why would he need to go through all that trouble?

He directly used the power of the Formation Heart Gu to assimilate the prohibition formations of the entire Soul Formation relic and seized the entire island.

In this way, no one could compete with him for the treasures on the Soul Formation relic.

"It's done, it's completely done."

"With this Rank Five island and Rank Five spiritual veins, even the Soul Formation stage is within reach."

Zhou Sui was very excited.

After all, advancing to the Nascent Soul realm was already a sure thing, but one must have foresight in life.

Now he had already started planning for the Soul Formation stage.

The Canglan Sea Region was vast and boundless, but there was not a single Soul Formation expert. The reason was the lack of Rank Five spiritual veins.

At this time, the Withering Glory Sect's Soul Formation relic appeared, not only bringing back vast resources but also Rank Five spiritual veins. It was equivalent to bringing back the opportunity for the Soul Formation stage.

For him, it was truly a great opportunity.

If he could seize this island and make it his own base.

Then he would have a great chance of becoming a Soul Formation cultivator in the future.

"This island has a diameter of one million six hundred and eighty thousand kilometers."

"There are one hundred and eight Nascent Soul level medicine gardens in the outer area, three hundred and sixty Gold Core level medicine gardens, and one thousand and twenty-four Foundation Building level medicine gardens. Although most of them are in a state of disrepair, they still have many spiritual medicine seeds."

"If I can refine the Medicine Gu, then the medicine gardens of the Withering Glory Sect can be revived."

"Even many ancient spiritual medicines can be resurrected."

Zhou Sui's eyes lit up.

He felt that this island, the former site of the Withering Glory Sect, was the foundation of his future.

"Wait, something's not right."

"It seems that there is a sealed demon deep in the core of this island."

"And it's a Soul Formation level demon."

At this moment, Zhou Sui's heart moved. His divine sense followed the power of the Formation Heart Gu and penetrated into the core of the formation, which was also the core of the Withering Glory Sect's ruins.

It seemed to be a vast valley, surrounded by densely packed prohibition formations.

But there was a terrifying demonic aura permeating the surroundings, as if it had come to life and was constantly eroding the prohibition formations here.

It was as if the terrifying demons in the valley could come out at any time.

And near the valley, there were countless corpses, one after another.

They were all wearing the robes of the Withering Glory Sect.

Obviously, they were all cultivators of the Withering Glory Sect who died and fell here in ancient times.

It can be imagined how fierce the battle was in ancient times.

Basically, most of the cultivators of the Withering Glory Sect perished here.

"This is the Rank Five High Grade formation, the Eight Wilderness Sealing Demon Formation."

"It is a terrifying formation that can seal Soul Formation level demons."

In other words, this place sealed a Soul Formation level demon."

"Moreover, this Soul Formation level demon has not died even after tens of thousands of years, and can break free at any time."

After learning the truth about this Soul Formation relic, Zhou Sui was truly frightened.

He took a deep breath.

Originally, he thought he had picked up a big bargain, but he didn't expect to pick up a big trouble.

Undoubtedly, this island of the Withering Glory Sect was a time bomb.

If not handled properly, it would blow up all the cultivators in the Canglan Sea Region into pieces.

In this era where Soul Formation cultivators are extinct.

If this Soul Formation demon really escapes from here, who knows how many lives will be lost.

The disaster caused would probably be more terrifying than the beast tide of the Sea Clan.

To be honest, he almost wanted to abandon the foundation of the Three Star Island Group and go elsewhere.

Like other continents, for example.

Anyway, with his current cultivation level, there is nowhere he can't go in the world.

But he still resisted the urge to run away.

Because he is different now.

He is no longer the Foundation Building cultivator who could only be scared away by demons.

Now he is already a Gold Core Late Stage cultivator.

In a short time, he might even succeed in forming his Nascent Soul.

It can be said that he will soon become a pillar of the Canglan Sea Region.

As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up.

He is now that tall person.

"In fact, there may not be a need to run away."

"Although this Soul Formation level demon is terrifying, it is still imprisoned by the Eight Wilderness Sealing Demon Formation."

"In a short time, this Soul Formation level demon cannot escape, at least it can be imprisoned for hundreds of years."

"And during this time, if the Eight Wilderness Sealing Demon Formation is repaired, then this Soul Formation demon can be permanently imprisoned, and the other party may not have a chance to escape."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui rubbed his chin and calmed down.

Because things may not be as serious as he imagined just now, it is not yet time to run away.

When he was on Xianxia Island in the past, facing the terrifying Blood Demon Tree, he could only run away with his family.

Until now, he still doesn't dare to go back.

If his Formation Heart Gu had reached the Rank Four realm back then, maybe he would have had a chance to repair the sealing formation and continue to imprison the Blood Demon Tree, preventing it from wreaking havoc.

But there are no ifs in this world.

After all, his Formation Heart Gu cannot grow so fast.

That Blood Demon Tree did not give itself time to grow Formation Heart Gu, so this is simply impossible.

But now it's different.

Soon, the Formation Heart Gu on his body will be able to advance to the Rank Five realm and control the power of Rank Five formations.

By then, repairing this Eight Desolation Sealing Demon Formation will be a piece of cake.

The Eight Desolation Sealing Demon Formation itself can easily suppress this Soul Formation level monster.

If we add the power of the Formation Heart Gu, this Soul Formation level monster won't be able to escape.

"Who? Who is it?"

"Who is spying on me?!"

At this moment, from deep within the valley, a terrifying and violent voice suddenly sounded, transmitting a dreadful demonic will, wreaking havoc on the world.

Causing the entire island to tremble continuously, forming earthquakes of magnitude seven or eight.

Obviously, the Soul Formation level monster in the valley sensed someone secretly observing it, so it immediately became furious.

But no matter how it searched, it couldn't find the source of the surveillance.

"Damn Withering Glory Sect, damn human cultivators."

"Don't let me escape, otherwise I will definitely slaughter the Withering Glory Sect, slaughter the human race."

The Soul Formation level monster in the valley roared, filled with boundless hatred.

Obviously, after being imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, its hatred for the Withering Glory Sect cannot be washed away even by the Three Rivers.

Unfortunately, its body has long been bound by chains of sealing magic.

No matter how it struggles, it cannot escape from this valley.

"So it's a turtle in a jar, that makes things easier."

At this moment, Zhou Sui rubbed his chin, feeling much more relaxed.

To be honest, the most fearful thing for humans is the unknown. Not knowing anything is the most terrifying.

But now he has understood the details of this Soul Formation level monster and found a way to deal with it, so he can proceed step by step.

Even if this Soul Formation level monster is powerful, it still needs to break free from this place.

"Forget it, let's focus on cultivation."

"When I advance to Nascent Soul, then I'll kill this Soul Formation level monster."

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, starting to meditate and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

...

Meanwhile, in the peripheral area of the Withering Glory Sect's Soul Formation ruins, the entire island was once again enveloped in mist, preventing any cultivators from entering. Otherwise, they would be counterattacked by the prohibition formation.

"What the hell, what's going on? How did this Soul Formation ruin close again? What happened?"

A cultivator was confused and at a loss.

Originally, he wanted to enter and obtain the treasures inside.

But who could have expected that the Soul Formation ruins would have another change, leaving them clueless about what to do.

"It must be the work of the Nascent Soul ancestors."

"They must have triggered the prohibition formation of the Soul Formation ruins, causing an unknown change."

"As a result, the prohibition formation of the Soul Formation ruins was activated again, trapping them on the island."

"These Nascent Soul ancestors brought it upon themselves."

Someone gloated.

After all, he couldn't enter the Soul Formation ruins and obtain the treasures inside.

So seeing those Nascent Soul ancestors in trouble made him feel particularly happy.

Other people's suffering is always a source of joy for oneself.

"Those Nascent Soul ancestors probably haven't perished yet."

"Their life tokens haven't shattered, which means they haven't died."

"They are probably just temporarily trapped on the island."

"Of course, this is only temporary. It's hard to say if any accidents will happen later."

"I guess those Nascent Soul forces are already anxious. All the Nascent Soul ancestors of various sects are deeply trapped in the Soul Formation ruins."

"But what does this have to do with us? Let's just watch the show."

Many cultivators discussed among themselves.

Obviously, the consequences of what happened at the Soul Formation ruins are quite significant.

This will also affect the distribution of power in the entire Canglan Sea Region.

If all the Nascent Soul ancestors trapped in the ruins die, the impact would be unimaginable.

...

At this moment, outside the Soul Formation ruins of the Withering Glory Sect.

An old man and a young man appeared in this place.

"Master, are we really the last descendants of the Withering Glory Sect?"

The young man in the green robe asked curiously, his eyes were lively and full of vitality.

Although his cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining stage, he is not afraid of the surrounding Foundation Building and even Gold Core cultivators.

"Of course, there is no doubt about it."

"The Withering Glory Sect's supreme technique that you cultivate, the Withering Glory Art, directly points to the path of Soul Formation."

"It's just a pity that it lacks the part about Soul Formation."

"But even so, it is enough for you to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Fortunately, the Withering Glory Sect's ruins have finally reappeared in the world, it's truly a stroke of luck for us."

An excited old man said. He was wearing a blue Daoist robe, his face resembling withered wood, but his aura was extremely powerful, reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Obviously, he is a Nascent Soul Independent Cultivator with unfathomable cultivation.

"If that's the case, then can't we take over the entire Soul Formation ruins and restore the former glory of the Withering Glory Sect?" The young man said excitedly.

"What are you thinking?"

"There are countless cultivators eyeing this Soul Formation ruins."

"With our strength, if we really want to occupy this island, we would have been killed long ago, we wouldn't be able to hold on at all."

"This time, we entered this island with the purpose of obtaining various millennium spirit medicines and the techniques of the Withering Glory Sect, which is already a great success."

"Of course, if you can advance to the Soul Formation stage in the future, then restoring the former glory of the Withering Glory Sect will be a piece of cake."

The old man looked at the young man with great anticipation, placing high hopes on him.

"Master, are you overestimating me?"

"In the entire Canglan Sea Region, countless cultivators have yet to become Soul Formation cultivators."

"Can I really advance to the Soul Formation stage?"

Although the young man is confident in himself, he is still a bit hesitant when faced with the unfathomable Soul Formation stage.

For him, it is an unimaginable goal.

"Others may not be able to, but you definitely can."

"Because you not only possess the Heaven Spirit Root, but also the Qingmu Longevity Body, which is extremely compatible with the Withering Glory Art."

"If it were in ancient times, you would definitely have been snatched away by the Sect Master of the Withering Glory Sect and become a closed-door disciple."

"And you carry great luck, everything you do can turn bad luck into good luck."

"If you can't become a Soul Formation cultivator, then there are not many people in the entire Canglan Sea Region who can."

The old man sighed.

To be honest, he didn't expect his luck to be so good.

At the end of his lifespan, he actually found such a talented disciple.

It can only be said that even the heavens are favoring him, favoring the Withering Glory Sect.

He couldn't bear to see the inheritance of the Withering Glory Sect lost in his hands.

"Master, in the future, I will definitely advance to the Soul Formation stage and restore the former glory of the Withering Glory Sect."

The young man immediately said confidently.

"Good, very good."

"But first, we have to go up to the Withering Glory Sect's ruins and search for the spiritual medicines and treasures there."

"I hope those treasures haven't been taken by those Nascent Soul cultivators."

The old man said in a deep voice.

In a short time, the two quickly approached the island, and immediately sensed the densely packed array formations outside the island, exuding a terrifying aura.

It seemed that if they got a little closer, they would be counterattacked by the array formations inside.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators would be helpless.

"Open for me."

The old man took out a green token from his body. This is the Sect Master's token of the Withering Glory Sect, which can control some of the sect's formations. That's why he was so confident that he could come and go freely in this Soul Formation ruins.

After all, as a descendant of the Withering Glory Sect, he already has an innate advantage.

But soon, his face changed because the green token flickered, but the array formations on the island remained motionless, unaffected.

"It's impossible, what's going on?"

"This is the Sect Master's token of the Withering Glory Sect, it can command all the formations of the sect."

"Now it's actually ineffective?!"

The old man was dumbfounded, at a loss for words.

Before arriving here, he had no anticipation of such an outcome.

This is also to be expected.

If it were the previous formation, perhaps the token would still have an effect.

But the formation here has long been controlled by the Formation Heart Gu, equivalent to usurping the throne.

Now this token is like using the imperial decree of the former dynasty to kill the officials of the present dynasty. Isn't this a joke?

No matter how hard the old man tries, it is impossible to control this formation.

"Master, could it be that you are a fake? Are you really a descendant of the Withering Glory Sect?"

The young man looked at his master with great suspicion.

"Shut up, we are indeed descendants of the Withering Glory Sect, there is no doubt about it."

"But it seems that the restriction formation on this island has already been controlled."

"That's why my sect token has lost its effect."

The old man said in a low voice.

"No way, isn't this a Rank Five formation? Who could control the assimilation of this formation?"

The young man asked curiously.

"Ordinary cultivators naturally cannot do it, not even a Rank Four formation master."

"Perhaps another descendant of the Withering Glory Sect has entered the ruins and taken control of the formation here."

The old man speculated.

"No way, is the Withering Glory Sect not just our branch?"

The young man was shocked.

"Of course not just our branch, as the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three burrows."

"The Withering Glory Sect is the same."

"In order to ensure the survival of the sect, it split into more than a dozen branches."

"They each carry the sect's heritage, lurking in various places, waiting for the opportunity to rise again."

"Unfortunately, after tens of thousands of years, most of these branches have been exterminated."

"I originally thought that only my branch was left, but it seems that other branches have survived tenaciously."

The old man said in a deep voice.

"Master, what should we do now?"

The young man asked curiously.

"Let's wait for now. Even if someone really controls this island, there are still many secret areas inside the island that only the sect leader's lineage would know."

"Perhaps we can cooperate with the other party for a win-win situation."

The old man said.

...

Three years later.

Since Zhou Sui advanced to Third Grade spiritual root, his cultivation speed has greatly increased, and his efficiency has at least doubled. This feeling is also extremely wonderful.

Coupled with the complete closure of the Three Star Island Group, outsiders cannot disturb it.

So he can practice in seclusion with peace of mind, constantly improving the Gold Core mana in his body.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In the quiet room.

Boom boom boom~

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, with his body as the center, the surrounding spiritual energy surged and formed a huge vortex of spiritual energy. It seemed that the spiritual energy within tens of miles was surging.

Fortunately, this is a Rank Four High Grade spiritual vein.

If it were only a Rank Three spiritual vein, I'm afraid it would not be able to meet his daily cultivation needs.

A true dragon and a divine elephant appeared behind him, they were hidden and revealed in the endless clouds of spiritual energy, releasing terrifying pressure.

There was a terrifying Nascent Soul pressure all around, as if forming a unique domain power.

Anyone who entered the vicinity of the quiet room would feel an inexplicable pressure.

It was as if the gravity around had increased dozens of times, as if carrying a mountain on one's back.

Dong!

I don't know how long it has passed, Zhou Sui felt a tremor in his body, and waves of Dao sounds formed.

The Gold Core in his body emitted a brilliant light, as if turning into a sun, releasing waves of heat, dispelling the endless darkness.

Vaguely, there seemed to be layers of Dan patterns appearing in the Gold Core, as if containing unfathomable power.

At this moment, this Gold Core has solidified to the extreme, with a flawless Primordial Origin, perfect and flawless, like a planet slowly rotating, releasing radiant light.

Gold Core realm, perfection.

Without a doubt, at this moment, Zhou Sui has finally reached the realm of perfection in the Gold Core realm, and his Gold Core can no longer absorb any trace of mana.

This Gold Core has also reached a state of perfection and flawlessness.

It seems that a seed inside the Gold Core is about to take root and sprout, breaking through the Dan and transforming into an infant.

Vaguely, Zhou Sui sensed that his Gold Core was like a huge embryo, nurturing a baby. This feeling was incredibly wonderful, as if creating life.

"Gold Core perfection."

"After three years of cultivation, I have finally reached the state of Gold Core perfection."

"It's really great."

Zhou Sui opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and felt that the mana in his body was extremely abundant. It seemed that every movement could unleash terrifying mana power.

Even a light punch could shatter mountains and destroy an area of tens of miles.

The mana in his body was as abundant as a river, flowing through every meridian.

At the same time, the meridians in his body formed a perfect circulation.

Every cell in his body was filled with immense life energy and explosive power.

At this moment, he realized that the mana in his body could no longer make any progress.

Continuing to cultivate would be meaningless unless he broke through and advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, which would further enhance his cultivation.

"To advance to the Nascent Soul stage, there are three steps to go through."

"The first step is naturally to shatter the Dan and form an infant. This step blocks more than ninety-nine percent of cultivators."

"Because in order to successfully shatter the Dan and form an infant, one's essence, energy, and spirit must reach a perfect state."

"At this moment, a soul seed has already been conceived inside the Gold Core, and this seed is the embryo."

"In order for the embryo to grow, the power of the soul needs to continuously grow."

"When it grows to a certain extent, the power of the soul will break through the Gold Core and condense into a Nascent Soul."

"It's like a little chick breaking out of an egg. The principle of forming an infant is the same."

"But these Gold Core shells are also quite important."

"Especially for a newborn infant, they are the initial nourishment. These Gold Core fragments need to be swallowed in order for the Nascent Soul to grow and overcome the initial weakness."

"If these Gold Core fragments contain impurities and Dan toxins, when the newborn Nascent Soul consumes them, it will be easily poisoned to death and become a stillborn."

"That's why Gold Core cultivators need Infant Formation spiritual objects to cleanse the impurities in the Gold Core and remove the Dan toxins in their bodies."

"Otherwise, Infant Formation will definitely fail."

Zhou Sui recalled the many insights he had gained about Infant Formation, combined with the insights of his Dao companion. He already had an extremely deep understanding of the process of Infant Formation.

He even simulated the process of Infant Formation several times through the power of the Book Gu.

He also understood why Infant Formation required Infant Formation spiritual objects and the importance of Infant Formation pills.

A single Infant Formation pill can help Gold Core cultivators eliminate all the Dan toxins in their bodies, remove many impurities in the Gold Core, and make the Gold Core in their bodies perfect and flawless.

Only in this way can the shattering of the Dan and the formation of an infant be successful.

Obviously, those Gold Core cultivators who have impurities and Dan toxins in their bodies, if they attempt to form an infant and shatter the Dan, the Nascent Soul they conceive will inevitably consume those contaminated Gold Core fragments and be poisoned to death easily, with the toxicity magnified infinitely.

In this case, success is incredible, while failure is natural.

Of course, because Zhou Sui is a self-formed Core Formation cultivator, coupled with the tempering and baptism of the Dragon Elephant Gu, the mana in his Gold Core is extremely pure, without any impurities, and the Dan toxins cannot remain.

In this way, he doesn't need any Infant Formation spiritual objects.

Even for him, Infant Formation spiritual objects are redundant, like drawing legs on a snake.

"The second step is the tribulation of the heart demon."

"Because the Nascent Soul has just been born, it is very easy to be invaded by external heart demons."

"Only by eliminating the heart demons and keeping the Nascent Soul in a pure state can it truly be nurtured."

"But if the cultivator's Dao heart is not stable, they are very likely to be invaded by heart demons, leading to the failure of Infant Formation."

"Some Heaven Spirit Root cultivators, even if they successfully pass the first step, often fall at the second step."

"But I have cultivated the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra and have the Dream Soul Gu, so this step is easy for me."

"The third step is naturally the tribulation of thunder."

"As the Nascent Soul is conceived and the connection between heaven and man is established, it will naturally attract heavenly tribulations."

"Only by passing through the tribulation of thunder can the Nascent Soul truly be nurtured."

"This is a calamity, but also a creation."

"By passing through the tribulation of thunder and obtaining the Qi of Good Fortune, the growth of the Nascent Soul can be accelerated."

"Of course, if the cultivator is not well-prepared, they are very likely to die under the tribulation of thunder."

"This is also why independent cultivators can hardly form an infant."

"Even if they can pass the first two steps, they still need external help to pass the third step."

"If they rely solely on themselves, it is very easy to die under the tribulation of thunder."

"Only with the help of the sect can the tribulation of thunder be easily overcome."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

After thinking about the process of Infant Formation, he felt that he had a better grasp of it.

If he prepared for a while longer, he could start trying to form an infant.
