Chapter 198: Chapter 99: True Core at the Middle Stage (2)

Meanwhile, Talisman Master Shen observed the slowing spirit clouds above the arena, paused his task, and prepared to send spirit medicine.

“Half a month is indeed not enough to condense a core!” The elder glanced at the spirit clouds, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.

“Huh~” Suddenly, Talisman Master Shen, who was halfway risen, widened his eyes.

“What’s happening? Grand Elder, look quickly.”

Upon hearing this, the elder turned his head to look.

“Hiss~ Why has it suddenly erupted?”

The spirit clouds above the arena, which had been calm, suddenly surged.

A vortex of spirit clouds descended funnel-like directly onto the arena.

Its might indicated that the spiritual pressure within the arena was incredibly terrifying at the moment.

“How is such tremendous spiritual pressure possible?”

“Prepare for rescue, such spiritual pressure is too frightening, that boy might not withstand it.” The elder’s expression changed.

He hurriedly used divine sense to probe Li Jizhou within the arena.

However, at this moment, he discovered that divine sense couldn’t penetrate at all.

“Hiss, this boy actually has a Tier Three Isolation Array?” A trace of helplessness flashed across the elder’s face.

Yet he understood that the core formation process was extremely perilous, interrupted midway would affect one’s path,

and he had already heard from Yu Ziyu about Li Jizhou’s cautious nature.

“In this case, this old man is powerless, and he must rely on his own fortune!” The elder sighed helplessly and sat back down.

——

At this moment inside the arena, Li Jizhou had a smile on his face,

After storing magical power in his annual cycle, he released it instantly.

The spiritual pressure within his dantian had reached its limit,

squeezing the Foundation Establishment Dharma Liquid with intense momentum.

Gazing at his dantian, he could clearly see the Dharma Liquid evolving step by step into a solid crystal.

This was far superior to when he formed a core in his previous life.

In his previous life, during core formation, magical power was insufficient, spiritual pressure wasn’t enough, and he exhausted great effort but couldn’t completely transform the Dharma Liquid into crystal.

Moreover, it could only be achieved in one go, with a single flooding of spiritual qi, spiritual pressure intensified at once, if the first attempt failed, there was generally no further chance.

Now, Li Jizhou still had reserved magical power within his annual cycle, not only had spiritual pressure reached the dantian’s limit, but could continuously sustain the spiritual pressure limit for a period.

At the same time, as the Foundation Establishment Dharma Liquid gradually condensed into crystal, the ten varying-sized flying knives in his dantian were refined once more by intense spiritual pressure, all suspended above the Dharma Liquid, humming loudly.

—–

“Strange, why so long? It’s still ongoing? He actually withstood it. Quite good!” The elder looked at the still-swirling vortex of spiritual pressure, puzzled but also more assured.

“No reason, sustained effort usually wanes, why does his last so long?”

Talisman Master Shen showed a heavy look, though he had never formed a core, and unlikely in this life, he had witnessed many core formation scenes.

Even when Zhou Cang formed his core, he observed throughout.

Gathering spiritual qi for five days, spiritual pressure suddenly rose within an hour, soon returning to normal, ultimately achieving a fake pill.

Li Jizhou’s high spiritual pressure had been ongoing for several hours now.

“Grand Elder, what scene did the young lady have during core formation?” Talisman Master Shen glanced at the elder.

“The young lady? Haha~ Being able to form a Golden Core, the scene was beyond description, though she formed a core in the sect’s ancestral land and I didn’t witness it, I’ve heard from many in the sect that the phenomenon was truly earth-shattering!” Speaking of Yu Ziyu, the elder’s face showed comfort and pride.

“Then what on earth is happening with Brother Li?”

“Do you think this boy can compare with the young lady? Haha~ Throughout the Yan Kingdom, among many prodigies, how many can form a Golden Core? Currently hidden dragon rankings have only ten, it’s impossible.” The elder sneered with a shake of his head.

“Then his situation here?”

“There might be a small fortuity, able to stabilize spiritual pressure, perhaps misjudged, with such spiritual pressure’s might, perhaps can truly succeed in core formation!” The elder nodded slightly, a hint of comfort on his face.

Thus, the young lady shouldn’t feel indebted to him anymore.

——–

Three days later,

“The crystal formation process was unexpectedly smooth! The Evergreen Skill is indeed extraordinary, especially its annual cycle magical power storage characteristic, basically ensuring core formation!

This greatly increases the success rate, so the Celestial Pure Water need not be used to boost the success rate, but rather enhance quality.” Li Jizhou directed his divine sense towards the dantian, not missing any moment of change.

Bit by bit he watched his Foundation Establishment Dharma Liquid crystallize, afterwards the crystal rotated rapidly at the dantian’s center, all crystals attracted together, blended with abundant Eternal Spring Magical Power, eventually merged into a spherical crystal.

The spherical crystal, under great spiritual pressure, continued to condense more firmly, becoming increasingly integrated.

Half a day later, after numerous compressions, collapses, reconsolidation and refinement, the inner core prototype was completed.

This signaled core formation’s first step of success.

However, this was also the most crucial moment.

Many who fail in core formation, eighty percent do so at this critical step.

Having formed the crystal core, continuous spiritual pressure is needed, along with strong divine soul support, if spiritual pressure is inadequate now, and the divine soul is weak, it could cause the crystal core to shatter, collapse,

and then no remedy is possible!

Li Jizhou did not hesitate any longer, immediately taking a premium Crystal Condensing Pill.

The Crystal Condensing Pill’s effect was crucial at this moment.

It enhances the crystal core’s stability.

The premium Crystal Condensing Pill entered his mouth, instantly turning into fluid directly into his dantian, then covered the crystal core, infiltrating it strand by strand.

Normally, at this point, to ensure the crystal core doesn’t break, Li Jizhou was prepared to use Celestial Pure Water to increase the success rate.
