Chapter 777: Chapter 371: Three Years, Core Formation Phenomenon

...

A phenomenon arose at Celestial Spring Peak.

"This is a Core Formation phenomenon!"

"It’s the two disciples of Profound Sound Pavilion. Three years ago, they entered Celestial Spring Peak and never came out."

The Core Formation phenomenon at Celestial Spring Peak attracted a great deal of attention.

At the Five Dragon Island Market, many cultivators from various families looked towards Celestial Spring Peak.

Some were envious, others were jealous, and there were those filled with resentment.

Within the market, many daring Tribulation Cultivators saw this scene and secretly cursed, "These Major Sect disciples are really cautious, hiding in the sect until they form their cores."

As the situation became unstable, many Tribulation Cultivators hoping to take a risk had their eyes secretly set on the Core Formation Seeds of various families and sects.

They hoped to chance upon an unexpected gain, such things are not unheard of in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Unfortunately, after the Profound Sound Pavilion granted seven of them Core Formation Spiritual Objects, it strictly ordered them to remain in seclusion within the sect.

Cultivators of the Four Seas Commerce Association, upon witnessing this, either sneered or delighted in others’ misfortunes.

"I heard two have already failed at Core Formation in Profound Sound Pavilion, I wonder if they will succeed this time."

"Who knows how much foundation Profound Sound Pavilion has for such attempts."

"We’ll see, Core Formation is not that easy."

The Four Seas Commerce Association naturally wishes that Profound Sound Pavilion doesn’t rise, hoping all their Core Formation Seeds fail.

There are many malevolent cultivators, but none dare disrupt this Core Formation.

Because, after the phenomenon appeared at Celestial Spring Peak, the Mountain Protection Array was activated, resounding with a deep mooing sound.

The cultivators on Five Dragons Island know that this Tier Three Middle Stage Mutated Demon Beast has the strength comparable to the Core Formation Late Stage, and nobody wanted to provoke it unstirred.

...

Unlike the outside world, at this moment, many cultivators who had established caves nearby were stepping out to gaze upwards.

"It’s Celestial Spring Peak!"

"It’s finally going to form the core!"

Most of those who established caves nearby are disciples of the Profound Sound Pavilion, so naturally they have high expectations.

Among them were Li Tianmo, Zhou Bingxuan, and Shen Zhuang.

At this moment, the three of them, with glimmers of various emotions in their eyes, were watching this figured phenomenon.

And just then, a chilling shout emerged from Celestial Spring Peak from the Sword Servant of the Core Formation cultivator.

"The Mountain Protection Array is activated, no one is to act without permission. Anyone who leaves the peak, ascends the peak, or sabotages the array will be killed!"

A fierce sword aura shot skyward, the Peak of Core Formation Early Stage sword intent put a great deal of pressure on many cultivators.

Even many spectators at the moment, whether Fake Pill or Core Formation cultivators, showed fear in their eyes as they felt the sharpness of this sword intent.

"What a terrifying sword intent!"

"This Lin Array Master truly has good fortune."

Amidst the murmurs of outsiders, countless cultivators from Profound Sound Pavilion arrived to protect something.

Several days later, a swirling cloud of colorful mist rolled over the skies of Celestial Spring Peak, methodically beginning to expand, causing many covert observers to show unusual expressions.

"Firm foundation, unhurried, seems the core will indeed be formed."

"Hmph, Wood Attribute Techniques do have such advantages, but the critical part is still the momentum after, Core Formation also differentiates between Fake Pill and True Pill."

Some were full of emotion, naturally some were full of jealousy.

After a few more days, the swirling cloud of colorful mist in the sky continued to solidify and spread, unknowingly approaching a mile in circumference.

This left many feeling disheartened.

"Haha, it seems a True Pill is certain." Some cultivators with friendly terms with Profound Sound Pavilion or neutral bystanders said with smiling faces.

And quite a few conflicting with the Four Seas Commerce Association eyed these people with glee in their misfortune.

Meanwhile, within the mountain cave on the mountainside of Celestial Spring Peak, sisters Zhao Lingxing and Zhao Lingyue sat cross-legged inside the Spiritual Spring, with their palms pressed together.

The pure Wood Attribute Mana connected as one.

Cultivators of the Wood Attribute Techniques are known for their solid and substantial Mana, and many cultivators at this point would show signs of fatigue.

Yet under the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique of the sisters, combined with the advantage of Wood Attribute Techniques, there was surprisingly no sign of fatigue.

At this point, with the assistance of Profound Water Liquid within their bodies, their liquid mana continuously solidified.

There was even a strand of life-force filled power slowly merging, prompting a qualitative change in the mana within the sisters’ bodies.

"Sister!"

"Sister!"

In the next moment, the sisters simultaneously consumed a Crystal Condensing Pill, having become as one, with their palms and soles connected, practicing the same technique.

They were completely integrated, reaching this step in Core Formation left no turning back, the rise and fall of one sister would directly affect the other.

As crystalline particles smoothly emerged within their bodies, the sisters’ faces displayed excited looks. The process of Condensing the Pill for the sisters was remarkably smooth.

...

Yet at this time, many outside showed shocked expressions.

The Core Formation phenomenon was still continually rising.

The sky’s colorful mist had expanded several miles in radius.

And when the Sword Servant, who was protecting Celestial Spring Peak, saw this, they gave a slight nod.

"The master previously said, if it was only of lower or middle grade Golden Core, there’s no need to conceal it, but if the quality of the Core Formation were higher, it should be hidden with an array technique."

In the next moment with a gesture from the Sword Servant, the Spirit Gathering Array hidden on the mountainside was activated.

This was not only arranged by Lin Chang’an but had been agreed upon by Fairy Ni Chang from the beginning.

As copious Spiritual Energy funneled into the Spirit Gathering Array, the Core Formation phenomenon in the outside world noticeably paused, allowing many to breathe a sigh of relief.

"As expected, I figured Profound Sound Pavilion wouldn’t get so lucky,"

"Hmph, Profound Sound Pavilion indeed got lucky."

The phenomenon indicated a True Pill was certain, but such a display seemed to elevate towards middle grade Golden Core quality naturally alerting many.

However, during the surge of Golden Core quality, the momentum stalled, which is also considered normal.
