From the chaotic sea of ​​stars, it began to wreak havoc on all the heavens.

Chapter 77 Ten Years Later

After giving Bibi Dong and the others a jade token containing Qin Sheng's own aura, which allowed them to freely enter and exit the formation.

Qin Sheng said goodbye to each of them one by one.

Then, taking with him the newly sprouted Rainbow Grass, just as he was about to return to the world of Mortal Cultivation under the pretext of going into seclusion again, a beautiful woman in blue stood quietly at the entrance of the secluded chamber.

Upon seeing him approach, she immediately smiled gently and asked, "Sheng, will your seclusion last long this time?"

"Well, I estimate that this time, it will be at least ten or eight years before he comes out of seclusion. It might even take longer."

Qin Sheng answered truthfully.

The higher the level, the longer the cultivation time required.

Qin Sheng reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of fourteen and was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage at the age of twenty-two.

Leaving aside the time spent cultivating soul power, refining pills, making talismans, and traveling.

It took about three or four years to cultivate from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage.

If things go smoothly and I have enough pills, it should take about ten years to form my core.

After all, the process of condensing the golden core cannot be successful without five or six years.

If one fails to break through the bottleneck of Core Formation, then it will take even longer.

He must recollect the pills needed to break through the bottleneck of the Core Formation stage.

Perhaps we'll have to go out to sea to hunt demons and obtain their elixir.

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin took a deep breath, as if making a major decision, walked up to Qin Sheng, looked up at his handsome face so close to hers, and said, "Sheng, how about Ah Yin spends the day with you alone today?"

Seven days later, Qin Sheng returned to his cave in Tianxing City in the world of Mortal Cultivation.

After handing the Rainbow Grass over to Yanli and arranging for her to help feed the Gold-Eating Insects, he went into complete seclusion.

Sitting cross-legged in the cultivation chamber, Qin Sheng took out two jade boxes containing True Essence Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills from his storage bag.

He took out one pill from each of them, swallowed it, and then slowly closed his eyes, entering a state of complete absorption in cultivation.
From then on, Qin Sheng devoted all his energy to meditation and cultivation.

As time went on, Qin Sheng completely forgot about time. Whenever he felt his spiritual energy was insufficient, he would take a Spirit Gathering Pill and a True Essence Pill, and then continue cultivating.

Five years passed in this way. With the support of ample elixirs and the cave dwelling, Qin Sheng's cultivation reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, which is also known as the Pseudo-Core Formation realm. Not long after, he also cultivated the Heavenly Origin Mirror Manual to the sixth level.

Then, he took out the spiritual herbs he had obtained from the young master of Qingyang Sect. After spending several months sorting them out and identifying the types of pills, he also took out the Tianyuan Mirror Manual and repeatedly studied the seventh layer of the mental cultivation method and the insights into core formation on it before officially beginning core formation.

Cultivation takes no time.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout these long years, Qin Sheng never left his cave in Tianxing City, nor did he ever reappear in front of Yanli Yuanyao.

As for Tianxing City, since Qin Sheng arrived, it has been like a pebble dropped into the ocean, without making any waves.

Those who need to cultivate should cultivate, and those who need to make trades should make trades.

On this day, dark clouds suddenly loomed overhead above Qin Sheng's cave, and silver snakes began to dance wildly.

The wind and cloud are discolored.

At the same time, all the wisps of spiritual energy within a hundred miles around frantically converged towards Qin Sheng's cave, forming a visible vortex of spiritual energy. The first to sense this phenomenon were naturally Yuan Yao and Yan Li, the two women inside Qin Sheng's cave.

"Senior Sister, didn't Young Master already form his core? How come there's another Core Formation phenomenon?" Yuan Yao asked, looking at the changing clouds and sky through the ventilation opening above the living room of the cave.

Several months after Qin Sheng went into seclusion, Yuan Yao successfully completed her foundation building and emerged from seclusion.

Although the two sisters did not have many pills for cultivation, they relied on the rich spiritual energy in the cave to cultivate to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage within ten years.

Yanli, however, was quite open-minded. "Who cares? Whether or not our young master was a Core Formation cultivator before is none of our business. In short, now that our young master has achieved Core Formation, we should be happy. In this way, our husband is a true Core Formation cultivator."

At this point, Yanli gave her junior sister a half-smile, "But then again, young master is quite lecherous, junior sister, are you ready to offer yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao lowered her head and remained silent, but the blush on her cheeks could not hide the fact that her mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"He's formed his core! He's formed his core! Someone else has formed his core!"

Meanwhile, whether they were passing by or living nearby, everyone stopped in their tracks or came out of their caves to gaze at the place where the strange phenomenon had occurred. Their expressions ranged from surprise and curiosity to envy and bewilderment, but most of them were filled with envy.

Although the phenomenon of Core Formation occurs only once every few decades or even every ten years in Tianxing City, it is not considered too unusual.

But once the core is formed, lifespan can increase dramatically from over two hundred years to five or six hundred years.

This is an irresistible temptation for any cultivator below the Core Formation stage.

Meanwhile, the numerous cultivators at the Core Formation stage and above within the city did not leave their caves to witness the dramatic changes in the Core Formation celestial phenomena.

However, the unusual spiritual energy in the entire Tianxing City was still sensed by their powerful divine sense.

They glanced at the cave where Qin Sheng was. Some remained calm, some were slightly curious, some frowned, and of course, some had ill intentions.

After all, when Qin Sheng first entered Tianxing City, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Now, only a dozen years later, he has already reached the Core Formation stage.

Anyone who's interested can easily find out about this.

This is extremely abnormal.

This could mean either they possessed an extraordinary stroke of luck, or they were originally at the Core Formation stage but their cultivation level dropped due to injury, and they've now recovered. It's not so hard to accept that they've regained their cultivation.

If it's the latter, that's fine. But if it's the former, then in the eyes of outsiders, a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation who hasn't even had time to refine his natal magic weapon is undoubtedly a fat sheep.

Qin Sheng was completely unaware of what others thought, and even if he did, he wouldn't care much.

At this moment, he was still sitting cross-legged in the cave with his hair disheveled.

Close your eyes tightly and immerse your mind completely in your body.

A golden pill, the size of a longan and tinged with blue and red, floated quietly in his dantian.

Near the Golden Core, a small blood-red banner rotated counterclockwise around it on a horizontal plane. As Qin Sheng's spiritual energy continued to nourish it, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the blood-red banner were slowly increasing at an extremely low speed.

It was none other than the Emperor's Banner.

Just as Qin Sheng had expected, the Human Emperor Banner became a magical artifact after it became a divine weapon.

Especially after Qin Sheng completed his soul rings, broke through level 100 in soul power, and transformed into divine power, the power of his magical artifacts experienced a leap in growth.

But after that, there was no sign of growth.

Now that Qin Sheng has condensed his golden core, he can finally nurture the Human Emperor Banner in his dantian as a magical artifact.
