Chapter 161: Chapter 65: Half-step Golden Core (2)

“Not bad, the True Core should be stable!”

“Stronger than in my past life!”

Seeing this, Li Jizhou felt a bit warm in his heart, and at this moment, he felt even more confident in the efficacy of Celestial Pure Water.

With this, when he undergoes Core Formation, with over half a bottle of Celestial Pure Water, he can basically guarantee a True Core.

Bai Yi also lay in Li Jizhou’s embrace, watching without blinking.

However, at this moment, Gua Gua was still striving, hoping to continue improving the quality of its Demon Pill.

Until three days later, Gua Gua’s strength was exhausted.

Finally, the Demon Pill gradually stabilized, the crushed remnants of the demon core mixed with bloodline essence source and Celestial Pure Water, almost solidifying into a spherical solid-state Demon Pill.

The Demon Pill appeared as a bluish water-like ball, but with impurities within, not particularly pure.

“It’s alright! Tier Three Great Demon, already quite formidable!” Seeing Gua Gua’s reluctance, Li Jizhou smiled to comfort him.

Judging by Gua Gua’s current Demon Pill quality, it belonged to the lower end of True Core, almost slipping into Fake Pill territory.

Just like Human Race cultivators’ Core Formation, the quality of the pill greatly influences future advancements.

A Fake Pill cuts off the path forward, leaving no potential to advance.

A True Core holds a glimmer of hope.

A Golden Core offers a fifty percent chance.

An Immortal Golden Core carries at least a sixty percent probability, almost securing a Nascent Soul!

To Li Jizhou’s mind, Gua Gua with its lower grade bloodline reaching this stage is already impactful on the Destiny Law.

If it wants to progress further, it might be wishful thinking!

Gua Gua seemed resigned to his fate, nodded, and began its final nurturing.

The cloud sea instantly restored its calm.

Outside the Spirit Gathering Array, both individuals settled their minds.

“We can prepare to congratulate Daoist Huang now!” Master Shangshan said with a smile.

“Tier Three True Core Great Demon, I’ve never seen it before.”

Seeing Gua Gua start its nurturing process, Li Jizhou exhaled deeply.

This largely met his expectations, it had its surprises.

The outcome was fulfilling.

Yet at that moment, a milky white light shot swiftly toward Gua Gua’s direction.

Li Jizhou’s expression changed dramatically.

Upon careful inspection, it turned out to be Bai Yi.

Before Li Jizhou could respond, Bai Yi landed on Gua Gua’s mouth, body shivering.

“Drip~”

A drop of milky white liquid fell from Bai Yi’s body into Gua Gua’s mouth.

“…” Li Jizhou was stunned.

Gua Gua was equally dazed, then lightly licked, instantly boiling with excitement, immediately gathering spiritual pressure once more to recast its Demon Pill.

Bai Yi then returned to Li Jizhou’s embrace.

“What’s happening?” Li Jizhou hurriedly communicated with Bai Yi.

After Bai Yi turned to look back, Li Jizhou’s face was suddenly filled with joy.

“Exactly, you are the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit, also a Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Object, even with intelligence, capable of taking form. Your essence spiritual liquid is naturally not weaker than spiritual objects like Celestial Pure Water!”

It turns out Bai Yi, seeing Gua Gua’s discontent, ultimately sacrificed a drop of its own essence spiritual liquid.

“In that case, when I undergo Core Formation, wouldn’t I have another spiritual object for Core Formation?” Li Jizhou’s happiness was imaginable.

Yet Bai Yi quickly became weak and powerless.

Originally having devoured the Four Nether True Flame, its overall momentum rose greatly, after six months of slumber, Li Jizhou sensed it might be advancing.

However, at this moment, having consumed a drop of essence, Bai Yi grew dim again, showing tendencies of entering slumber.

Li Jizhou quickly returned it to his Dantian, nurturing it with Eternal Spring Magical Power.

Subsequently, when he looked again at Gua Gua’s Demon Pill, the bluish Demon Pill that was almost formed shattered once more.

Then, the drop of Bai Yi’s life essence fused within.

The bluish Demon Pill instantly turned transparent, with milky white swirling within.

Simultaneously, outside the Spirit Gathering Array, the two individuals became completely numb.

The shattered demon core repeated thrice!

The forming Demon Pill would also happen thrice?

At this moment, they witnessed, the originally urgent peaceful spiritual pressure cloud sea surged violently again.

In an instant, it exceeded their understanding.

Reached a hundred feet!

“Is this… consumed… another more advanced Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Object???” Master Shangshan’s gaze had already turned slightly dazed.

Today’s events have all surpassed his understanding.

He shook his head, suppressing all thoughts, no longer engaging with them!

Another three days passed,

The spiritual pressure cloud sea returned to calm.

Gua Gua’s Demon Pill gradually stabilized.

Li Jizhou’s eyes gleamed with envy!

Its internal Demon Pill clearly presented a transparent cerulean wave, with a trace of milky white flow inside, crystal clear and bright.

Such quality Demon Pill, at least a mid-level True Core as a foundation!

Another three days, the spiritual pressure cloud sea dissipated, Gua Gua completed its nurturing.

Its Demon Pill began to exude the majesty belonging to a Tier Three Great Demon.

In a flash, Li Jizhou’s Divine Sense could no longer probe within Gua Gua even slightly.

Subsequently, the pressure emitted by Gua Gua’s Demon Pill as a Tier Three Great Demon made his heart pound wildly.

Demon winds arose, the entire Spirit Gathering Array was engulfed in a storm.

If not for a Fourth Layer body refining physique, he couldn’t withstand the pressure released by Gua Gua’s Demon Pill at this moment.

He also swiftly withdrew three puppets to avoid them being torn apart by the demon winds of the newly formed Tier Three Great Demon, Gua Gua.

“This is the pressure of a Tier Three True Core Great Demon!” Outside the Spirit Gathering Array, the two quickly retreated a hundred feet.

Looking with lingering fear at the Sea Eye’s sudden explosion of monstrous demon energy.

“A True Core Great Demon, incredibly terrifying!”

Li Jizhou calmly sat at the corner of the array, carefully sensing the changes in Gua Gua’s demon energy.

From the initial burst of aura, judging at least mid-level True Core.

However, its demon energy surprisingly continued to rise.

Half a day later, Li Jizhou’s expression slightly changed.

“Upper-level True Core!”

This is already close to Golden Core quality.

Once the demon pill thoroughly stabilized, Gua Gua finally calmed down.

Just as Li Jizhou was a bit worried about its high-quality Core Formation possibly having the chance to break free from the Spirit Contract,

“Gua Gua Gua~” The demon wind vanished, Gua Gua suddenly jumped beside him, rubbing its head against his face, with a flattery expression.

Li Jizhou exhaled deeply, carefully examining it.

Having advanced to Tier Three, its size grew larger, already as big as a millstone, capable of carrying one along.

And its body color became even more vibrant, changing from five colors to seven.

The biggest change was the eye on its back.

Upon its advancement to Tier Two, the eye on its back looked merely like a totem, opening slowly only when it deployed the Illusion Realm.

Yet now, the eye on its back appeared vivid and lifelike, as if real, and its pupil mirrored its body’s colorful appearance.

Just a glance made Li Jizhou feel as if he was about to fall into an illusion realm.

“Let me see your Demon Pill!”

“Gua~” Gua Gua smiled smugly and then opened its consciousness sea.

Li Jizhou patted its head before his Divine Sense explored inside.

“This is the upper-level True Core… indeed… hmm? Is this… could it be Golden Core Dao Charm?”

Suddenly, while closely observing Gua Gua’s Demon Pill, Li Jizhou was astounded when he noticed strands of golden Dao Pattern occasionally emerging on its demon pill surface.

Studying it for a moment,

“You’ve actually reached Half-step Golden Core!” Li Jizhou was absolutely unable to remain calm.

“Gua~” Gua Gua felt even prouder, raising its head high.

At this moment, Li Jizhou had too many questions in his heart.

He now utterly couldn’t associate the smug Gua Gua before him with the Gua Gua during its three shattered demon core phases…
