The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Cui Yi stopped suppressing it and let the violent life force surge into his body!

The Divine Demon Devouring Heaven Technique was activated to its fullest extent!

Within the dantian, the fake core trembled violently, frantically absorbing the surging life force!

Meanwhile, the six Dao patterns on the fake pill became increasingly bright!

boom!!!

The seventh Dao pattern suddenly appeared!

Cui Yi was startled!

A tearing pain shot through his meridians, as if some unknown force was tearing them apart and rebuilding them!

The seventh one!

Immediately afterwards, the eighth Dao pattern appeared!

The Dao patterns on the fake elixir changed from six to eight!

The shape of the fake pill is beginning to change!

Cui Yi's breathing almost stopped; the intense pain, far exceeding the limits of human endurance, was truly terrifying!

The breakthrough process at this moment is not being conducted under the deduction of the Floating Pagoda, so Cui Yi has no way to skip this pain and can only rely on himself to slowly endure it!

Time was ticking away, and Cui Yi's torment was not in vain.

The originally irregular fake pills are now slowly becoming round.

The raised areas began to smooth out, the sunken areas began to fill in, and the entire fake pill was evolving into a perfect sphere!

This is……

The prototype of the Golden Elixir!

Cui Yi's pupils contracted violently!

Peak Core Formation Realm!

Only cultivators at the peak of the Core Formation stage will begin to transform their pseudo-core into a true golden core! This is a sign that they are about to touch the threshold of the golden core!

He actually went straight from the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment to the Peak of Core Formation?!

boom!!!

Before he could think too much, the last wave of life force surged in, and this perfectly timed final step directly made the fake core completely formed!

At this moment, the fake pill in the dantian is no longer the irregular object it once was!

It transformed into a near-perfect golden sphere, its entire surface shimmering with dazzling light!

Eight lines are evenly distributed on the surface of the sphere, each slowly rotating and radiating a heart-palpitating pressure!

The aura emitted by the fake pill became even stronger, and the true energy it emitted was almost solidified into a substance, with a faint tendency to crystallize!

The Cui Yi of this moment is completely different from the one before he went into seclusion!

"call……"

Cui Yi exhaled a heavy breath, and the unstable aura around him settled down with the exhalation.

His cultivation level was completely stabilized at the peak of the Core Formation Realm!

Thus, this retreat has come to a successful conclusion!

What is but a fleeting moment for other cultivators is a solid thousand years for Cui Yi!

Along with the breakthrough in cultivation realm, Cui Yi also gained lifespan. After breaking through to the Core Formation realm, his lifespan reached two hundred years.

Cui Yi looked up at the time displayed on the cultivation room screen. Three days had passed since he went into seclusion!

Cui Yi suddenly remembered something, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips.

He got this intermediate-level cultivation room thanks to Luo Chen; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to afford the price of one hundred mid-grade spirit stones a day.

Three days would cost three hundred mid-grade spirit stones, but he doesn't even have one hundred mid-grade spirit stones in his hand right now.

"I'll have to figure out a way to earn some spirit stones later."

Cui Yi muttered a few words to himself, but he didn't take it too seriously, since he had more important things to do right now.

That's the Pagoda!

Each breakthrough in a major realm will open up the next level of the Floating Pagoda.

The first level of the pagoda is deduction, and the second level is integration.

So, the third floor...

What will it be next?

When Cui Yi's consciousness entered the space of the Floating Pagoda, he suddenly discovered that the originally dim third floor of the pagoda was now emitting a soft glow.

Cui Yi's consciousness transformed into a stream of light and effortlessly entered the third level.

When Cui Yi came to his senses, he found himself in an ancient and simple palace.

This palace is smaller than the first and second floors, but it is more exquisite.

The surrounding walls were engraved with countless mysterious runes, exuding a reassuring aura.

A huge jade tablet floats in the center of the palace. The tablet is pure white and has two large characters engraved on it in ancient seal script.

fill a vacancy!

Cui Yi's gaze fell on those two words, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

fill a vacancy?

Could it be that the function of the third level of this pagoda is to complete the incomplete cultivation technique?

However, if it is limited to this, then the effect of the third layer is not as good as the first two layers, after all, there are not many incomplete cultivation techniques in the world.

He might not be so lucky as to have stumbled upon a fragment of a high-level cultivation technique.

If it is just a fragment of a low-level technique, there is absolutely no need to repair it.

Just as Cui Yi was still speculating about the specific effects of this layer, some information suddenly flooded into the depths of his mind.

"Third layer of function: filling gaps."

"It can complete any incomplete or flawed cultivation technique, and it can also optimize and improve existing techniques to raise their grade."

"The lifespan required to replenish or optimize the technique depends on its grade and level of perfection. The higher the grade, the greater the consumption."

Cui Yi's pupils contracted slightly.

optimization?

Simply filling the gaps in the third layer is unremarkable, but if optimization is added, the role of the third layer becomes much greater!

There is no strongest martial arts technique in the world, only stronger ones!

Even the highest-ranking cultivation techniques might have room for improvement!

Having this third level of ability, in a sense, I now possess the power to infinitely enhance my cultivation technique!

Cui Yi instantly thought of the martial arts techniques he possessed.

The Refining Spirit Technique is a Heaven-rank cultivation method. According to the information I just obtained, the higher the grade of the cultivation method and weapon being repaired, the more lifespan it consumes.

I probably can't afford to repair the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique myself.

Therefore, we can skip it directly.

The Flame Control Technique, also a Heaven-Rank technique given by Xi Yue, doesn't need to be supplemented.

The Divine Fiend Devouring Heaven Technique is a cultivation method that he created himself.

But after all, the foundation is the Divine Refining Technique, and its grade is what it is, so it is not a goal that I can consider at present.

If you think about it carefully, there are only two martial arts skills that are most suitable for me to fill in the gaps!

One is the Mountain and Sea Collapse Cloud Fist, and the other is the Mysterious Heaven Three Swords!

Although these two martial arts techniques were obtained through fusion, their grade is not very high, and filling the gaps will not consume too much of one's lifespan.

After hesitating for a moment, Cui Yi quickly made up his mind.

The priority of filling the gaps in the Xuan Tian Three Swords is higher than that of the Mountain and Sea Collapse Cloud Fist!

This sword technique was created by him by combining the Three Demon-Subduing Forms and the Black Fiend Wolf Soul Technique; it is of the upper-grade Xuan rank.

From a purely rank perspective, it's unremarkable, but this martial art has another layer to it.

In his hands, it can unleash power approaching that of a low-grade Earth Rank!

If the quality of this martial art can be improved to a higher level, will this enhancement still exist?

Moreover, Cui Yi was well aware that battles between high-level cultivators were mostly conducted using magic weapons and true energy.

Opportunities for close combat are not many, so the frequency of use of the Mountain and Sea Wind and Cloud Fist is significantly lower than that of the Xuan Tian Three Swords.

If it weren't for the high applicability of the internal energy cultivation method inherent in the Mountain and Sea Collapse Cloud Fist, Cui Yi would have thought this martial art was useless.

"I want to complete the Three Swords of Xuan Tian!"
