Chapter 1724 - 1721: Huang Chengcheng’s Core Formation

Chapter 1724: Chapter 1721: Huang Chengcheng’s Core Formation

Qin Yanyang nodded and said, "Yes, it’s better to discuss with the seniors of the Shang Qing Sect before deciding."

Tong Yunshu also agreed from the side.

Yang Fei saw that they were somewhat worried about his decision and had to reconsider.

His plan was feasible, but Sun Xingyu and the others’ concerns were not unfounded.

Everything should be decided after meeting Wan Daorong and Shen Wanjing.

"Let’s go back to White Jade City and take a look. It’s been such a long time since we left; I wonder what White Jade City looks like now," Sun Xingyu said.

Yang Fei and the others nodded.

Although the Yan Family sent people to invite those from Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City, it wasn’t an urgent matter. The two powerful figures from the Yan Family wouldn’t rush at all costs; it would take at least ten days or half a month for the round trip.

Furthermore, Shang Qing Sect’s situation was stable, and whether Zhantai Chunqiu or Wan Daorong could come immediately was still unknown.

It’s at least a month and a half of waiting on Earth. There’s no need for everyone to stay here.

"Yang... Taoist Yang, and fellow Taoists, can I... may I return?" Qi Yunhe gathered the courage to speak.

The others looked at him.

Yang Fei smiled indifferently and said, "Since you’ve heard our conversation, you should stay here until we make the final decision."

Qi Yunhe grew anxious.

He had struggled internally for a long time, weighing countless times, and repeatedly tried to use the Godspeed Talisman to escape from their side and rush to the Teleportation Channel Entrance.

But thinking of Yang Fei’s domain similar to that of a Divinity Transformation Realm Master, once he failed, given Yang Fei’s temperament, he would definitely eliminate him on the spot.

Moreover, even if he managed to escape, what would he do then?

Elder Yi Xian had already left, and the Teleportation Channel Entrance on the other side was guarded by the powerful figures of the Yan Family. As someone from Wangxian Sect, would they allow him to leave?

Looking at the Teleportation Channel Entrance just five miles away, Qi Yunhe finally suppressed the impulse to escape.

By being obedient, Yang Fei might not kill him, so it was best to preserve his life first.

Qingqiu found a vine in the forest below and strung up the twenty-two unconscious disciples from Wangxian Sect, taking them back to White Jade City together.

"Such dense spiritual energy." Sun Xingyu was amazed: "The concentration of spiritual energy here doesn’t lose to the core area of Shang Qing Sect at all."

The others nodded.

Earth was undergoing a Spiritual Energy Revival, and White Jade City possessed a Top-grade Spirit Mine along with the effects of the Gathering Spirit Array. Not to mention the Main Peak of White Jade City, the spiritual energy concentration within a hundred miles was not weaker than the core areas of the major one-star sects in the Southern Domain.

For the first time, Qi Yunhe arrived at Earth’s White Jade City and saw countless Desolate Ancient Fierce Beasts around, many of which were Ancient Species already extinct in the Southern Domain and the entire Cultivation World; he was completely stunned.

In such a dangerous place, it’s truly remarkable that Earth cultivators can still reside here.

With so many Ancient Demon Beasts, Earth has only a few Core Formation Stage Cultivators, even with a dozen Nascent Soul Realm Masters, it cannot ensure safety here.

The key lies in the mysterious Big Array covering the entire Main Peak Mountain Range.

Being a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, Qi Yunhe could sense the terrifying aspects of this Formation.

He secretly decided in his heart that he must be even more honest and straightforward.

Knowing that Shang Qing Sect’s situation had stabilized and both Helian Rong and the other Earth cultivators were all safe, Yang Fei finally felt relieved.

He was eager to quickly visit Shang Qing Sect to see Helian Rong, but he still did not dare to fully trust Yan Xihua yet, so he could only wait patiently for his teacher Wan Daorong or Sect Master Tantai Chunqiu to arrive.

In the following days, he diligently continued his cultivation without slacking.

He was still too weak.

Not to mention becoming a Unity Realm Stage Master, if he could reach Nascent Soul Formation or even Divinity Transformation soon, with the vast resources on Earth, he would have a voice in the Southern Domain Cultivation World.

Since receiving the feedback from the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, enabling him to break through his realm and reach the Peak of Late Stage Core Formation, Yang Fei found his cultivation increasingly difficult recently.

No matter how he tried, his cultivation seemed to hardly improve.

This was the bottleneck period before breaking through to the next realm.

Yang Fei had long understood this state.

Normally, cultivators experience such bottleneck periods whether moving from the Peak of Qi Refining Late Stage to Foundation Establishment or from the Peak of Late-stage Foundation Establishment to Core Formation.

But Yang Fei hadn’t felt constrained by bottleneck periods during those two stages in the past.

Now, as he approached the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, he felt the hindrance of this bottleneck period.

According to Cultivation World theory, failing to break through this bottleneck state would leave one forever stalled in their current realm, never reaching the next realm.

Some people are stuck for decades.

Others for a lifetime.

Yang Fei firmly believed his talents were extraordinary, and it was impossible for him not to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, but he resented the current feeling of ’no progress’ despite cultivation efforts.

The most crucial part was his eagerness for rapid growth and strength, which made him anxious.

That night, Huang Chengcheng came over.

"Is Master going to attempt Core Formation?" Yang Fei’s eyes lit up upon hearing Huang Chengcheng’s intention, feeling happy for his master.

Huang Chengcheng chuckled, "I’ve recently had some insights. I think it’s worth trying. Yang Fei, do you still have any of these elixirs?"

He came to ask Yang Fei for some Gathering Peak Pill, Hao Yuan Pill, and Chao Yuan Pill needed for Core Formation.

Yang Fei naturally had these elixirs but not many.

Initially, when using Genetic Liquid Medicine to trade with various major forces in the Southern Domain, he had requested a large amount of elixirs related to cultivators’ realm breakthroughs, mainly Foundation Establishment Pill.

As for elixirs needed for Core Formation, he got them from the storage bag he extorted from Wang Xingpeng when Wang Xingpeng apologized.

Of course, later, he also exchanged some at Shang Qing Sect, and when searching for Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, he tried to acquire such elixirs whenever possible.

Even so, the total number of these elixirs he possessed did not exceed ten.

He gave one each of Gathering Peak Pill, Hao Yuan Pill, and Chao Yuan Pill to Huang Chengcheng and, after pondering, added three Yun Shen Pills as well.

Receiving these elixirs, Huang Chengcheng’s eyes turned a bit red, and facing Yang Fei, he said emotionally, "Boy, you’ve already surpassed me in realm, yet you still remember the kindness between us. I feel my life has value."

Yang Fei quickly said, "Master, why say that? Once a teacher, always like a father. Without you, there wouldn’t be my achievements today; you will always be my mentor. Besides, you have great talent as well and can now attempt Core Formation; your future achievements will certainly not be low. We, as master and disciple, will stand together and build a foundation in the Cultivation World. Doesn’t Master also want to spread Taoist glory in the Cultivation World?"

Reviving the Taoist tradition was Huang Chengcheng’s lifelong obsession. Hearing this, his spirit lifted, and he nodded, "Indeed, we should spread Taoist glory in the Cultivation World."

With these elixirs, Huang Chengcheng returned to his cultivation cave and chose to enter closed cultivation to attempt Core Formation.

Yang Fei initially thought that even if Huang Chengcheng could successfully form his core, it would take a long time.

Unexpectedly, just eighteen days later, a surge of Core Formation breakthrough aura soared into the sky above White Jade City.
