Chapter 316 Successive Core Formations, May the Xu Clan Be Immortal for Ten Thousand Years! (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions!)

"The power of the five elements can be used at will and is infinitely variable. How can one resist it?"

Some audience members murmured.

Sun Zhantian was even more horrified.

His Fiery Demon Battle Body is incredibly powerful, his Crimson Demon True Eyes can see through the illusions of formations, and his staff techniques are unparalleled in their ferocity.

However, faced with this ever-evolving Five Elements Battle Formation, where elemental counters constantly change, he felt a sense of frustration, as if he were stuck in a quagmire, possessing brute force but having nowhere to use it!

If these attacks were seven or eight parts weaker, he could easily sweep them away with a single blow.

But none of these attacks were weak.

And the continuous flow is even more terrifying.

His true eyes could see that the core of the formation was Xu Mingxian himself.

Unless you kill him, or exhaust his magic power and divine sense, or even isolate him from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the array's attacks will be endless.

Sun Zhantian roared repeatedly, wielding his long staff with impenetrable speed, his dark red staff shadows shattering the incoming gold-elemental flying swords, ice dragons, and fire phoenixes.

With a powerful stomp of his legs, he snapped the entangled vines.

The protective aura on his body withstood the impact of the flames and stone spikes.

Each strike required him to expend a considerable amount of magical power and mental energy.

Xu Mingxian, however, handled it with ease, controlling the formation simply with his divine sense!

He possesses a Golden Core level divine sense, and can divide his divine sense into multiple strands, simultaneously and precisely controlling five or six different battle formations.

The two fought fiercely for more than half an hour, leaving the arena in a mess, with the sounds of spiritual light exploding incessantly.

Although Sun Zhantian was brave, he had already sustained several wounds, his breathing became disordered, and his attacks were not as fierce as they had been at the beginning.

In contrast, Xu Mingxian remained calm and composed.

Fortunately, he possessed the divine sense of the Golden Core level. Others might be able to condense battle formations, but they couldn't control them as well as Xu Mingxian, and it would be difficult for them to unleash such power.

Finally, just as Sun Zhantian shattered the ice dragon with a single blow, his old strength dissipated and new strength had not yet been generated, Xu Mingxian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he seized that fleeting opening!

He slammed his hands together!
The Five Elements Battle Formation suddenly contracted!

The five colors of spiritual light—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—converged wildly, transforming into an incomparably condensed five-colored giant sword, whose power was in no way weaker than Sun Zhantian's strongest attack.

The five-colored giant sword slashed down at Sun Zhantian's head!
Sun Zhantian's pupils shrank suddenly. He mustered his remaining strength and held the long staff horizontally above his head. The blood and qi of his Fiery Demon Battle Body surged, and dark red qi soared into the sky!

"Open it for me!"

boom--! ! !
With a deafening roar, the five-colored giant sword slowly pressed down.

The arena floor beneath Sun Zhantian's feet cracked inch by inch, his arms trembled violently, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood stained the stick.

He roared and struggled.

After a stalemate of about ten breaths, Sun Zhantian finally exhausted himself. His long staff flew out of his hand, and his magical shield shattered. He let out a muffled groan of resentment.

Xu Mingxian waved his hand to dispel the formation. He breathed slightly and cupped his hands in greeting to Sun Zhantian, who was struggling to get up.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, you flatter me."

Sun Zhantian looked at Xu Mingxian with a complicated expression, finally took a deep breath, picked up the long staff, clasped his hands in return, and said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, your supernatural abilities are truly remarkable. I, Sun, am impressed!"

"Your strength ranks among the top ten of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators I've ever seen!"

"Top ten? The top ten from the previous Heavenly Pride Tournament?!"

"more or less."

Xu Mingxian smiled faintly and did not offer any further explanation.

Sun Zhantian chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I thought that if I weren't over the age limit, even if I couldn't win the championship in the Heavenly Pride Tournament, I might still be in the top five."

It seems I underestimated the people of the world!

"My father once said that when cultivating immortality, one should be single-minded and have a clear understanding of the Dao. There are countless geniuses in the world, like carp crossing a river."

Even if you surpass someone, there will always be someone stronger than you.

The only one you can ever be as good as and surpass is yourself!

When you surpass yourself time and time again, you'll find that there's no one behind you anymore.

If you only focus on others, you are prone to developing mental obsessions.

Mr. Xu has said all he has to say; Mr. Sun, please take care of yourself.

Sun Zhantian pondered Xu Mingxian's words for a moment, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he bowed deeply: "I, Sun, have learned much!"

"I will definitely go into seclusion today and cultivate diligently until I reach the Golden Core stage, then we will fight again!"

After saying that, he turned and jumped off the stage.

Upon witnessing this scene, Elder Sun, a Golden Core cultivator, stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "Truly a remarkable demeanor. As expected of someone valued by Ancestor Xuan Yue, Zhan Tian's defeat was not unjust!"

The elder of Yunmiao Sect also clasped his hands in congratulations, saying, "Brother Sun, it seems that it won't be long before your Sun family produces another Golden Core genius!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin is joking. It still can't compare to the Cloud Mist Sect."

Although Sun Zhantian was defeated, after listening to Xu Mingxian's words, he felt more enlightened and became more determined in his heart.

Just calm your mind and focus, and breaking through the bottleneck is just around the corner!
That's why the elders of the Yunmiao Sect made that assessment.

Sun Zhantian was defeated, and the entire arena fell silent once again.

This immediately sparked an even more heated discussion.

Originally, most people came to watch Xu Mingxian and Xuan Yue Sect make fools of themselves, but now they truly see an invincible aura in him!
"Perhaps Xu Mingxian can really complete the seven-day arena battle and make no one in Xuan Yue Prefecture dare to step onto the stage again!"

A thought arose in everyone's mind: If he achieves Foundation Establishment and becomes a Venerable One, who would dare to claim the title of King?!

An hour passed, but no one came up on stage.

Xu Mingxian then drifted away, intending to return at noon the following day.

Xu Mingxian appeared precisely at noon the following day.

He had barely landed when five figures exchanged glances and simultaneously leaped onto the arena!

These five individuals are all rogue cultivators who have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. Because they have been adventuring together for many years, their teamwork is extremely tacit. Their decision to come to the stage together is clearly intended to make them famous in one fell swoop through this battle!
“We admire Fellow Daoist Xu’s strength. In a one-on-one fight, we know we are no match for you. Would you mind if we joined forces?” One of the old men in Daoist robes smiled and cupped his hands.

"The rules of the arena are just like this, so it doesn't matter if there are more people," Xu Mingxian said calmly.

Arena battles differ from ordinary battles. The arena is only so big, and sometimes too many people can cause conflicts and contradictions between them.

If dozens or even hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators were to attack together from a distance, even a third-tier formation could be broken in one blow.

"Then we'll have to offend you!" The old man's eyes suddenly sharpened. "The four of us will step in to buy time for Fellow Daoist Luo to set up the formation!"

The voice just fell.

The burly swordsman wielding a large, ghost-headed saber and the cold-faced swordsman attacked Xu Mingxian from the left and right respectively.

Both the blade's edge and the sword's light were extremely sharp.

The old man made a hand seal and cast a spell almost instantly, causing countless ice cones to condense in the air and fall like a torrential rain.

As for the old man surnamed Luo, he was a formation master. He patted his storage bag, took out five formation flags, and immediately began to make hand seals to set up the formation.

The last, slightly overweight middle-aged man, holding a bronze shield, stood in front of the elderly man surnamed Luo.

Xu Mingxian immediately recognized the aura emanating from the large shield as that of a two-pattern defensive magic weapon.

In addition, he was wielding a dark, pointed cone, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.

"A decent combination, but their strength is lacking."

Xu Mingxian instantly conjured an array, a water curtain in front of him, easily blocking the attacks of the swordsmen and sword cultivators, as well as the countless ice spikes.

Their attacks were comparable to those of Foundation Establishment cultivators who had grasped the basics of introductory supernatural powers to the fourth or fifth level.

However, Xu Mingxian's defensive formation could easily block their attacks, making it impossible for them to break through it easily.

He moved lightly with his feet and gestured with his hands.

"Sleepy!"

The spiritual energy gathered around the arena, bypassing the slightly overweight middle-aged man and transforming into an earth-yellow light screen that directly enveloped the old man surnamed Luo.

On the hundred-foot-high arena, Xu Mingxian's battle formation could appear at any moment, capable of attacking anyone.

"How could this be?" The slightly overweight middle-aged man's eyes widened in astonishment. "How am I supposed to defend against this?"

Just as he was about to attack the yellow light barrier, the old man surnamed Luo said, "Don't make a move. This is a trap formation. You can only enter and not exit. If you enter, you will not be able to get out unless you break the formation."

"What about that?"

"You no longer need to protect me. Just join the others in attacking him. If I'm not mistaken, he is using himself as the core of the formation to set up the array."

All we need to do is defeat him!

Although the old man surnamed Luo saw through the clues, he was also impressed by Xu Mingxian's methods and guessed that her mastery of formations far surpassed his own.

However, the battle is still ongoing, so we can only suppress our excitement for now and use formations to break formations.

the other side.

Under the relentless attacks of the others, countless cracks appeared in the water curtain, and it looked like it was about to shatter.

However, in a short while...

Xu Mingxian then made a hand seal, instantly condensing the other five elements battle formations.

In an instant, golden flying swords swept through the sword cultivators like a torrent of swordsmanship, countless sharp stones materialized out of thin air and shot towards the swordsmen, and a blazing fire phoenix swooped down towards the old man in the Taoist robe.

A slightly overweight middle-aged man rushed over, and countless vines grew from the ground, wrapping around him.

About half a cup of tea's time.

The old man surnamed Luo had just broken the formation when he saw the other four people cough up blood and fly backward to the ground, and his forehead was immediately covered in cold sweat.

"Do you still want to fight?" Xu Mingxian asked calmly.

The old man surnamed Luo glanced at the others, then sighed and shook his head, saying, "No, it was we who overestimated ourselves."

He then clasped his hands in a fist salute and asked, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Xu, what kind of technique is this?"

"Battle formation!"

"Thank you."

Seeing that Xu Mingxian didn't intend to explain further, the old man surnamed Luo knew it was a secret, so he didn't press the matter and left the arena with the others.

"Battle formation? The formation moves at will. In this small arena, he alone is equivalent to many people, and they are of one mind and one strength. No wonder he dares to say that it is not impossible for many people to go on stage."

As Xu Mingxian fought for longer, some of the secrets of the battle formation were gradually discovered.

But you can't figure it out just by looking at it.

Even a fourth-order formation master like Zhang Fan could not easily learn battle formations without someone to teach him.

Next, several people from the Xuan Yue Sect, Yun Miao Sect, and the Sun family joined forces to challenge Xu Mingxian on stage.

But the longest they persisted was only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The second day passed just like that.

On the third, fourth, and even fifth day, many people went up on stage, but they did not really intend to defeat Xu Mingxian.

Rather, it was an honor.

When Xu Mingxian rises to prominence in the future, this will be his bragging rights to future generations: Back then, I, your father, once debated with Senior Xu on the same stage, and that battle was fierce.
Others went on stage to test their fighting ability or to bet on how many breaths they could last against Xu Mingxian.

Xu Mingxian's momentum is now unstoppable!
The seventh day.

For some reason, the Xuan Yue Sect, Yun Miao Sect, and the Sun family joined forces and mobilized five senior disciples who were just one step away from achieving the Divine Power Core Formation, along with Sun Zhantian.

“Brother Xu, I should not have come here shamelessly after losing, but the elders of my clan insisted that I join forces with them to fight the enemy.”

Sun Zhantian clasped his hands and laughed heartily, "Of course, I also want to see just how strong your battle formation is, Fellow Daoist Xu!"

When the onlookers saw six figures, led by Sun Zhantian, leap onto the arena at the same time, the entire audience erupted in uproar!

"Are they going to treat Xu Mingxian as their final enemy?"

“Each of them is a renowned prodigy of our Xuan Yue Prefecture. With the addition of Sun Zhantian, this combination is more than capable of fighting against cultivators who have just entered the Golden Core stage.”

"Definitely! As long as they're not geniuses who have achieved the Divine Power Core Formation, it's more than enough to deal with ordinary people who have just entered the Golden Core stage!"

Amidst the excited discussions of the crowd.

Xu Mingxian's expression was also solemn, but his eyes shone with an unprecedented fighting spirit. "Please!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Mingxian took the initiative to attack, attempting to divide the battlefield.

He stepped forward, and the Earth Element Trapping Formation and Wood Element Entanglement Formation were activated instantly. A thick wall of light and countless vine chains surged toward Sun Zhantian and the others.

However, this time, his methods failed!

"break!"

Sun Zhantian roared, his Fiery Demon Battle Body surged with blood and qi, and the long staff in his hand emitted a dark red demonic light. A simple straight slash contained the power to split mountains and cleave seas!
Boom!

The light wall that trapped them shattered instantly, as if it were made of paper!

The other five also displayed their unique abilities, manipulating two-patterned magical artifacts, such as sword energy and blade light, to tear apart vines and five-element chains.

Although the five of them were not as strong as Sun Zhantian, they still managed to break through Xu Mingxian's battle formation attack in just a few moves.

Six powerful auras, like a raging storm, crashed down on him!

Sun Zhantian's staff shadows blotted out the sky, and the flying swords, spells, and supernatural powers of the five senior disciples attacked from all directions, trying to block all his escape routes!
Xu Mingxian's pupils contracted slightly, and his figure flashed rapidly. Layer upon layer of defensive light screens emerged, trying to block the attack, but they were shattered in an instant.

He was forced to switch to a full-on defensive strategy.

next moment.

On the arena, mist rose.

Xu Mingxian conjured a maze array, and his figure disappeared into the white mist.

Furthermore, it employs a series of illusions to create a complex and deceptive landscape, thus confusing the viewer.

Here, he also made hand seals, silently setting up a divine sense restriction that affected the six people's perception.

"Flame Demon True Eye, break!"

His pupils shone brightly, illuminating all directions.

"About thirty feet to the east!"

"Thirty-five zhang to the southeast!"

"Eight zhang above the southern sky!"

The other five followed Sun Zhantian's command and attacked the places he pointed out.

The illusion array and the maze array were completely ineffective against his pupil technique.

However, this also gives Xu Mingxian enough time to unleash even stronger methods.

The five-colored spiritual energy gathered wildly, condensing into huge five-colored spiritual swords that slashed and swept away the five people.

Only Sun Zhantian could block it head-on.

Then the rest of the people took their place.

The five-colored giant sword was completely transformed into countless rays of light and dissipated in the air in just two or three breaths.

Faced with their fierce attack, Xu Mingxian continued to condense defensive battle formations, with the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth appearing one after another.

"Boom boom boom——!"

Explosions echoed continuously on the arena, and bursts of spiritual light kept shattering.

Xu Mingxian looked somewhat disheveled amidst the dense attacks, with beads of sweat constantly seeping from her forehead.

His defensive formation flickered constantly under the combined bombardment of the six, as if their attacks would shatter everything and strike him at any moment. However, under this immense pressure, Xu Mingxian remained remarkably calm.

His eyes blazed with an unprecedentedly intense fighting spirit!
He knew that if he couldn't withstand their attacks, he would surely die when the six attacks landed.

At this moment, Xu Mingxian's spiritual sense was operating at an increasingly faster speed. His perception of spiritual energy and understanding of formations were being wildly enhanced under the pressure of the life-or-death crisis!
"Concentrate! Concentrate! Concentrate!"

He uttered a low shout, his hands moving like phantoms.

The battle formation was forming at an increasingly rapid pace, beyond what was normally possible!

Initially, two defensive battle formations were formed simultaneously, and soon three were achieved.

In the end, the Five Elements Defense Formation appeared simultaneously!

They constantly break down, then coalesce, then break down again.

Like the five elements rotating endlessly, it completely blocked the six people's fierce attack like a tidal wave!

At this moment, Xu Mingxian was completely absorbed in the moment, forgetting about victory or defeat, forgetting everything around him, with only the flow of the array in his heart, experiencing an unprecedented sense of exhilaration!
He used his body as a battle formation, feeling that within this small space of the arena, he was the controller of the spiritual energy of this world.

The formation is formed with a single thought!
Everything comes naturally and effortlessly!

Without his own conscious awareness, the originally distinct single battle formations began to naturally merge and recombine!
The single battle formation of water and fire was transformed into a large defensive formation of water and fire.

He couldn't see Sun Zhantian and the others; he simply acted on his whims, constantly gathering and reorganizing battle formations.

The forces of earth, fire, water, and wind converged, faintly coalescing into the phantom images of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, roaring in all directions.

The attacks of Sun Zhantian and his six companions landed on the Four Symbols defensive battle formation, but they were unable to break through it in one strike, only causing violent tremors.

boom! boom! boom!
The roar echoed continuously in all directions!
Everyone was stunned.

Xu Mingxian's defensive battle formation had improved to the point that it would take six people working together five or six times to create cracks in it in such a short time.

And just as they were launching their attack.

The spiritual energy of the five elements converged wildly, and the light of the Five Elements Fusion Battle Formation enveloped the entire arena.

This is not a defensive battle formation, but a battle formation for slaughter.

The Five Elements Killing Formation, with each element of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth attacking, was no less powerful than the other five people except for Sun Zhantian.

Moreover, as long as the array's core remains intact and the spiritual energy continues, the attack from the array is inexhaustible!

The tide of battle turned in an instant!

The others could barely resist the attack of the Five Elements Killing Formation and would be defeated in no time.

Sun Zhantian was now fighting alone!
With a roar, he unleashed a devastating blow, but Xu Mingxian easily blocked it by forming the Four Spirits Defense Formation.

Then, a massive, solid, five-colored sword, twelve feet tall, was formed once more.

"The Five Elements, Heaven's Punishment!"

Xu Mingxian said calmly, then waved her hand, and the five-colored giant sword crashed down towards Sun Zhantian.

Its terrifying power caused the expressions of all the Golden Core cultivators present to change slightly.

Human strength has its limits, but the power of formations is limitless. Xu Mingxian's attack truly reached the full power of a newly entered Golden Core cultivator.

If it were a life-or-death struggle, he could even kill a cultivator who had just entered the Golden Core stage head-on!
Pong!
Sun Zhantian and his five companions were all sent flying backward, crashing into the arena's protective barrier, their faces pale.

Xu Mingxian was also greatly exhausted, with his mana power less than 20%, but his figure remained upright and imposing, like a towering mountain in the hearts of the Foundation Establishment cultivators at this moment.

"The White-Clad Immortal, Xu Mingxian!" someone murmured.

Immediately afterwards, countless people began to shout this name.

In the arena.

Sun Zhantian and the others stood up, and upon hearing the thunderous shouts, their faces showed bitterness.

"I have been defeated again, Fellow Daoist Xu. This time, I am completely convinced!"

The others also bowed their heads and clasped their hands in greeting.

Xu Mingxian nodded slightly, only then realizing that his bottleneck in array formation had been broken.

He can prepare to form his core!

Immediately, he glanced around and said calmly, "Is there anyone else who wants to come up to the arena and have a match with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire square fell silent.

After a short while, no one responded. Xu Mingxian sat cross-legged in the center of the arena and swallowed a pill to restore his magical power.

Zhang Xuanzhi glanced at him, remained silent, turned around, and set off towards the Xuan Yue Sect in a streak of light.

"It seems he's feeling the pressure."

Qingxuan Zhenjun raised a slight smile, glanced at Xu Mingxian on the arena, and then left.

As the sun set, a magnificent tapestry of colorful clouds lit up the sky, illuminating the entire Xuan Yue City in a breathtaking spectacle.

No one dared to challenge him on the stage.

Xu Mingxian slowly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and calm, her gaze restrained. Then she stood up, her white robes fluttering in the evening breeze, making her figure appear even more upright.

He didn't say much, but took one last look at the arena where he had fought for seven days, and the crowd below who were still unwilling to leave, before taking a step forward.

Its form rose like a flawless white cloud, gradually disappearing into the distance amidst the rosy glow of the sky until it vanished into the horizon.

In the seven-day arena, he overpowered all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Xuan Yue Prefecture and earned the title of "White-Clad Array Immortal." News of this battle gradually spread throughout the prefectures of the Northwest.

"The White-Clad Immortal, revered throughout his generation!"

"More than a decade ago, Xu Mingxian was barely able to enter the ranks of the Heavenly Pride, but now he has such a prestigious reputation. Do you think he could have won the title of the number one Pride if he had had this strength back then?"

"It's hard to say! But it's not impossible!"

"That's right, the more outstanding the genius, the smaller the gap between them."

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Daoran sighed, muttering, "Master's judgment is truly sharp; Junior Brother's future achievements will likely surpass mine! However..."

"The number one prodigy, 'Phoenix Feather' Fairy Xu Deling, 'White-Clad Array Immortal' Xu Mingxian, Xu Chuan, the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage in both palaces, 'Cold Moon' Fairy Xu Deyue, and Ye Fan, who cultivates both body and magic."

The Xu family, though only a handful of people, possesses such terrifying potential!
Xu Mingxian will soon be able to form a core through supernatural powers. I heard that Xu Deyue also successfully formed a core through supernatural powers several years ago, so Ye Fan must be the same.

The family of six, except for one young person who has not yet shown his talent, are all prodigies!

No wonder Master sent lavish gifts when Xu Chuan formed his Core. But wait, even a Golden Core prodigy wouldn't be taken seriously by Master. Could it be that they already knew each other?

"Never mind, no matter what, the Xu family has allowed Xu Mingxian to become a disciple of the master, so the two families will naturally be on good terms in the future."

Xuan Yue Peak.

At the summit, in the main hall.

Xu Mingxian bowed with his hands clasped, "This disciple has now gained enlightenment, and I thank Master for his help."

"Go and form your core. You have little room for further progress at the Foundation Establishment stage. The real battlefield begins at the Golden Core stage."

Some people may not be as good as you in the Foundation Establishment stage, but if they have various opportunities in the Golden Core stage, they can make great strides and eventually surpass you.

Do you understand? "

Xu Mingxian nodded and said, "This disciple will not slack off. I have only just embarked on the path of array formation."

"All your needs for forming the Golden Core will be delivered within three days. After that, you can go into seclusion and focus on breaking through to the Golden Core stage."

"Yes, Master."

Three days later.

Following Xu Mingwei, Xu Mingxian also began her attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.

He might even be the first to successfully form a core, given the requirements for that.

Zhang Fan scanned the area with his divine sense and saw that the array and restrictions of Xu Mingxian's cave were fully activated. He stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "Xu Chuan, you have truly sent me a fine disciple."

A few days later, Xu Chuan invited Xu Mingxian but was refused.

Xu Mingyuan and the others did not find Xu Mingxian in the "Xu Clan Grotto Heaven", so they asked him out of curiosity.

Xu Chuan guessed, "If my father's prediction is correct, Ming Xian should have broken through the bottleneck and is now attempting to reach the Golden Core stage."

"The Xuan Yue Sect must have a fourth-grade high-quality spiritual vein, with abundant spiritual energy, more than a hundred times that of Dongxi. With the addition of Heavenly Spirit Pills, Pure Spirit Pills and other similar pills, it should be able to successfully form a core in about a month."

"I really envy Tiannan's conditions," Xu Mingxuan said, savoring the taste.

Xu Chuan shook his head and chuckled, "When you arrive, you'll have everything you need. Even if you can't form your core through supernatural means, your father has a way to help you succeed."

Xu Mingxian's magical power crystallized in half a month, and then he took the Purifying Spirit Pill to purify his physical body, and then condensed the seed of supernatural power.

To him, formations were supernatural powers.

However, the formation is special and can accommodate thousands of formations. No matter what, Xu Mingxian could not possibly make his golden core contain thousands of formations.

Therefore, he chose the Cloud Illusion Array, which he had deduced himself, as his natal array.

However, the Seed of Divine Power could not accommodate the mid-grade third-tier Cloud Heaven Illusion Array, so Xu Mingxian had no choice but to choose the top-tier second-tier level.

Once he reaches the Golden Core stage, he can instantly unleash the Cloud Illusion Array.

Furthermore, as his own strength increases, he can gradually upgrade this formation to the top level of the third tier.

At that time, he too can attain the Golden Elixir and become a supreme being.

The second-tier top-level Cloud Illusion Array is extremely complex; it took Xu Mingxian half a month to successfully condense the seed of divine power.

It could even be called a "natal formation".

Using this as the core of his Golden Core, Xu Mingxian successfully broke through to the Golden Core stage seven days later.

A profound and powerful aura suddenly erupted, shaking heaven and earth!
Within a radius of two hundred miles, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be under an invisible command, frantically converging to form a huge vortex of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye.

The center of the vortex faces Xuan Yue Peak directly!

The sky was filled with countless rays of light and auspicious colors, and the river of spiritual energy surged endlessly. The extent and scale of the phenomena far surpassed those of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

This demonstrates the depth of its foundation and the extraordinary nature of its heritage.

At this moment.

Xu Mingxian's magical power, soul, and consciousness are undergoing a complete transformation and sublimation, becoming increasingly refined, pure, and vast.

His innate destiny talent, "Awe-inspiring and powerful," deep within his consciousness, trembled violently.

Talent sublimation!

It transformed into a talent-like, supernatural ability.

Xu Mingxian understood immediately, made a hand seal, and opened her mouth to exhale.

The golden elixir transformed into a stream of light and flew out of his mouth, hovering three feet in front of him.

The moment the golden core leaves the body, it immediately connects with heaven and earth, and the pure five elements spiritual energy in the sky continuously washes over and refines the golden core.

Then, activate the [Swallowing Mountains and Rivers] technique to maximize the absorption of the gathered spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
The scene was several times more terrifying than when Xu Chuan first formed his Golden Core.

Without this supernatural ability, relying solely on a fourth-grade high-level spiritual vein, Xu Mingxian would at most reach the early stage of the second level of the Golden Core realm.

However, due to the sublimation of his talent, his destiny talent, which was originally meant to assist in cultivation, was transformed into a supernatural ability.

Each use requires a significant amount of spiritual energy, but a full-force activation can directly replenish half of one's mana.

It is a perfect match for his array formations.

During normal cultivation, it will automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, at a speed seven or eight times faster than before.

Although Xu Mingxian possesses a true spiritual root, during the Foundation Establishment stage, due to his innate talent, his cultivation speed was no less than that of those with earth spiritual root aptitude, and now he is even more comparable to cultivators with heaven spiritual root aptitude.

Xu Mingxian's cultivation level improved rapidly, reaching the late stage of the second level of the Golden Core realm. Only then did he integrate his essence, energy, and spirit into the Golden Core, completing the final step of the life-life connection.

"Late stage of the second level of the Golden Core realm?"

Zhang Fan was naturally not unaware of Xu Mingxian's breakthrough in cultivation level, but he was still surprised that she had reached such a level.

But he immediately understood, stroking his beard and smiling: "Indeed, he is exceptionally talented, even rivaling Xuanzhi."

After breaking through, Xu Mingxian remained in his cave to consolidate his realm and familiarize himself with the power of the Golden Core, his divine soul, and his divine sense.

However, the news that he had successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage was circulating throughout Xuan Yue City and the entire Xuan Yue Prefecture.

Half a month later.

When he emerged from seclusion, many Golden Core cultivators from the Xuan Yue Sect, including Zhang Xuanzhi and Qingxuan Zhenjun, came to congratulate him.

Xu Mingxian disliked being high-profile, so he had no plans to hold a Golden Elixir Ceremony.

However, he accepted all the gifts from his fellow disciples without missing a single one.

After that, he went into seclusion to study array formations, determined to comprehend the location teleportation array.

Once he succeeds, it will be time for him to return to Yuxi.

And at this time.

Even in Dongxi, a strange phenomenon of elixir formation has appeared.

Qingjiang City.

This is the closest city to the Xu family of Dongxi, where spies from various factions gather, constantly relaying information about the Xu family's movements.

The extraordinary phenomenon of Core Formation was so grand and far-reaching that it attracted the attention of countless people.

"Dad, why is it getting dark?" a child asked, looking up. "Is it going to rain soon? Should we go home and bring in the laundry?"

The middle-aged man stroked his head, his eyes filled with excitement as he gazed at the sky.

This was the case in many parts of the city, and people everywhere were talking about it.

Some Qi Refining stage cultivators exclaimed in surprise, "This is... the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon!"

"Someone has reached the Core Formation stage!"

"That direction... that's the Xu family of Dongxi!"

"Quickly, send a message to the main family that someone from the Xu family of Dongxi has achieved the Core Formation."

Several shops in the city, including restaurants, cosmetic shops, and herbal medicine shops, sent urgent messages.

"After so many years, someone from the Xu family has finally achieved the Core Formation. It's a pity that the last time, the Grand Elder of the Guangling branch, Ren Xiaoyao, failed at the last minute."

Otherwise, there would be two Golden Core cultivators.

"I wonder, which elder of the Xu family achieved the Core Formation today? The First Elder or the Second Elder?"

"It's hard to say. There are no fewer than ten people in the Xu family who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but the most likely candidate is Old Ancestor Xu himself, since he has been in seclusion for more than 20 years to form his Core."

"possible!"

These signs of a change in the color of the sky and earth caused panic among the people in the town inside Dongxi. It was only after the Xu family guards reassured and explained that they were somewhat relieved.

Then everyone got excited.

"Someone in the master's family has reached the Core Formation stage!"

"I've heard that Golden Core cultivators are among the most powerful beings in the entire Great Wei Dynasty, capable of shattering mountains with a single palm strike!"

"From this day forward, our family will truly be a Golden Core Clan!"
