Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 118 Core Formation (Part 2 Combined)

"A Core Formation Spiritual Object!"

Jiang Yun's face lit up with joy; in the last storage bag, there was actually a Core Formation spiritual item.

He now possesses two Core Formation spiritual items, plus a third-tier dragon demon core.

The probability of achieving Core Formation has been greatly increased.

Jiang Yun put the two Core Formation spiritual items and a third-tier demon core together.

Then he took out all the spirit stones from the four storage bags and put them into his own storage bag.

The four storage bags contained nearly three hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

After doing all this, Jiang Yun looked thoughtfully at the several storage bags in front of him.

The first storage bag contained two Core Formation spiritual items and a third-tier demon core, which were used for breaking through to Core Formation.

The second storage bag contains the flesh and blood, as well as the essence of the Azure Scale Poisonous Dragon, which can be used for alchemy, tempering the body, and cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Technique.

The third storage bag naturally contains the dragon scales, dragon bones, and dragon tendons of the Azure Scale Poisonous Dragon, which can be used to refine magical treasures and temper flying swords.

The fourth storage bag was Jiang Yun's own, containing three thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, thirty-six flying swords, hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, and the mysterious iron piece from the Broken Sword Sect.

At this moment, Jiang Yun's gaze fell on the first storage bag, and he took out the demon core and the Core Formation spiritual item and placed them in front of him.

"One third-tier dragon demon core, plus two Core Formation spiritual items."

"Moreover, it is currently located in a secret realm, where the concentration of spiritual energy is comparable to that of a third-tier spiritual vein."

"What are the chances of successfully forming the Core Formation?"

Looking at the demon core and the spiritual object that had formed the core, Jiang Yun began to analyze his chances of forming the core.

At this moment, we are in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, where spiritual energy is abundant.

In addition, there are third-tier demon cores and two sets of Core Formation spiritual items.

If you have a 70% or higher chance of successfully forming your core, then you can start the process of attempting to form your core.

If the probability of success is less than 70%, it's still a bit risky.

"The density of spiritual energy in the secret realm is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of a third-tier spiritual vein."

"Breaking through in the secret realm, plus two Core Formation spiritual items, can increase the chances by at least 35%."

"A third-tier dragon demon core can increase the chances by 30%, which gives us a 65% chance."

After a preliminary analysis, Jiang Yun found that he was only 65% ​​confident of forming the Golden Core, and his brows furrowed slightly.

A success rate of less than 70% in achieving the Core Formation stage is still not safe enough.

Jiang Yun pondered the matter again, then suddenly smiled knowingly.

"In this life, by cultivating the Celestial Star Guide, my magical power, spiritual sense, and physical body will all be stronger than in my previous life."

"Furthermore, he has cultivated the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique, and his spiritual strength is already comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator. This is enough to increase his chances of reaching Core Formation by another 20%."

"If the Golden Bone Refining Treasure function breaks through to the fourth level and elevates the physical body to the third level, it can increase the chance of forming the Core by 20%."

"In that case, there's a 150% chance of achieving Core Formation!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but turn his gaze to the second storage bag.

The dragon's flesh and blood essence stored in this storage bag are perfect for tempering the body and cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Technique.

"Such a large amount of third-tier dragon flesh and blood, along with its essence, is enough to cultivate the Golden Bone Refining Technique to the fourth level."

Currently, Jiang Yun's Golden Bone Refining Technique is at the second level, and his physical strength is comparable to a mid-grade second-tier magic weapon.

If one breaks through to the third level, one's physical body will be comparable to a second-grade high-quality magic weapon.

Breaking through to the fourth level will make one comparable to a low-grade third-tier magic weapon, which is equivalent to a physical body at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

If the physical body breaks through to the third level, then the chances of forming the core will definitely increase.

"It's at least the flesh and blood of a third-tier dragon, enough to allow the Golden Bone Refining Technique to break through to the fourth level."

"At that time, my physical body will be comparable to a third-tier magic weapon, and I will have a 20% greater chance of forming my core."

"If that's the case, then let's cultivate our physical body first, and then try to break through to the Core Formation stage. Anyway, there are still eighteen years before the secret realm closes."

Jiang Yun's heart stirred slightly, and he put the demon core and the Core Formation spiritual item back into the first storage bag.

Then he opened the second storage bag, took out the dragon's flesh and blood essence, and began to circulate the Golden Bone Refining Technique to refine the dragon's essence and flesh.

Two years later, Jiang Yun's Golden Bone Refining Technique broke through to the third level, and his physical strength reached the level of a second-grade high-quality magic weapon, while only a quarter of the dragon's flesh and blood essence was consumed.

Next, Jiang Yun continued his secluded cultivation, refining the essence of the dragon's flesh and blood, and his physical body continued to grow stronger.

Five years later, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying power of blood and qi erupted from his body.

He made a sword gesture, and a flying sword circled three times in the air before transforming into a white light that shot towards his left arm.

With a clang, the flying sword was deflected, but Jiang Yun's left arm was completely unharmed, without any wounds.

"After seven years, the Golden Bone Refining Technique has finally broken through to the fourth level."

"7

"My physical strength is now comparable to a low-grade third-tier magic weapon, so a second-tier magic weapon naturally cannot harm me."

"However, cultivating this Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique consumes too many body-refining medicines, and the dragon's flesh and essence have been completely exhausted."

Jiang Yun looked at the storage bag and saw that only a small amount of the dragon's essence blood and flesh remained, which was almost negligible.

He originally wanted to leave some behind to take out of the secret realm to refine pills, so that the dragon's flesh and blood essence could be better utilized.

However, if you take it out of the secret realm, you must hand over 30% to the Qingyang Sect.

The losses before and after were not much different, so whether or not the pill was successfully refined was no longer important.

Shaking his head, Jiang Yun tossed the storage bag aside and began to ponder.

"Now that my physical body has reached the third level, I am 100% confident in my chances of forming a core. I can start trying to break through to the core stage."

"However, after forming the core, if one uses magic power, one will be expelled from the secret realm and will be unable to temper the flying sword with the Golden Core True Fire within the secret realm."

"I don't want to hand over 30% of the dragon scales, bones, and tendons from these dragons to the Qingyang Sect, since they haven't been used to temper flying swords yet."

Right now, Jiang Yun will definitely have no problem breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

However, once he forms his core, if he uses the Golden Core True Fire to temper his flying sword, the ancient restrictions in the secret realm will activate, excluding him, an outsider.

By then, the dragon scales, dragon bones, and other treasures of the dragon will have been lost by 30% even before they have been used up in the secret realm.

"Thirty-six mid-grade second-tier flying swords, forged with third-tier materials, each of which can be upgraded to at least the top-grade second-tier level."

"If only four or five of the flying swords are tempered, they can be tempered to the third level."

"However, it's better to proceed simultaneously. With all thirty-six flying swords of the same grade, the sword formation is easier to control and more powerful."

Jiang Yun opened the third storage bag and looked inside; it contained treasures such as dragon scales and dragon bones.

These treasures can all be used to temper flying swords and upgrade their grade.

"There are still eleven years until the secret realm closes. Let's temper the flying sword first and refine all these dragon scales and bones."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun summoned thirty-six flying swords and used Foundation Establishment True Fire to melt dragon scales and dragon bones into the flying swords, thus refining their grade.

Three months later, the first flying sword was successfully tempered and upgraded to the second-tier top-grade level.

"The Foundation Establishment True Fire is still too weak. It takes three months to temper a flying sword, which is about the same amount of time it takes to refine a batch of third-grade pills."

After absorbing the spiritual energy of a mid-grade spirit stone, Jiang Yun couldn't help but start making plans in his mind.

He had never learned any weapon-forging techniques. Although he could forge all thirty-six flying swords at once, it consumed a huge amount of magical power.

Furthermore, it would waste a lot of materials, making it impossible to temper all six flying swords of the Three Thousand to the second-tier top-grade level.

After all, these materials are all dragon scales and bones from a third-tier dragon.

Therefore, only one flying sword can be tempered at a time. Tempering one flying sword allows for the utilization of about 90% of the materials such as dragon scales and dragon bones.

After refining his first flying sword, Jiang Yun discovered that it would take about three months to refine a flying sword using Foundation Establishment True Fire and then consume mid-grade spirit stones to restore his mana.

It takes three months to forge one flying sword, so thirty-six flying swords would take one hundred and eight months, for a total of nine years.

"The secret realm will close in eleven years, and nine years from now, there will be two more years to form the core. That should be enough."

It only takes a few months to break through to the Core Formation stage, and two years is more than enough time.

If the core is successfully formed, the remaining time will be used to transform the cultivation method and consolidate the cultivation level.

This trip to the secret realm has come to a successful conclusion.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun immediately focused his attention and began to temper his flying sword.

"Now that we've left the secret realm, it's time to delve into the art of weapon crafting and formations."

It was only after Jiang Yun began forging his flying sword that he realized how important weapon-forging skills were.

In addition, his Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation is closely related to array formations, and since he cultivates the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique, it will be easier for him to study array formations.

Therefore, he decided to learn weapon crafting and formation techniques after ending his journey in the secret realm.

At that time, his weapon-refining skills will enhance the grade of his flying sword, and his array formation skills, combined with the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Array, will allow his strength to rise to another level.

With this in mind, Jiang Yun began to focus on tempering his flying sword.

Soon, nine years later.

After being forged with dragon scales and bones, the thirty-six flying swords were upgraded from mid-grade second rank to top-grade second rank.

"Thirty-six top-grade second-tier flying swords."

"Although it is difficult to control them simultaneously with my current spiritual sense, there will be no problem after I form my core."

19

"At that time, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation will probably be able to easily kill a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation."

After tempering the thirty-six flying swords, Jiang Yun was in high spirits and immediately put them into his storage bag.

He then looked down at the waste on the ground and burned it completely.

At this point, all thirty-six flying swords had been tempered, and the treasures such as dragon scales and dragon bones had also been completely consumed.

"The flying sword has been tempered; now it's time to attempt the Core Formation stage."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

I failed to form my core in my previous life, but I should be able to succeed in this one.

After all, he was absolutely certain.

This absolute certainty stems not only from the accumulation of knowledge in the previous life, but also from the diligent cultivation in this life.

The Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique and the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique, along with his powerful divine sense and physical body, were all the result of his hard work and cultivation.

In addition, Jiang Yun also has insights into Core Formation.

If I take into account my experience in forming the Golden Core, I am 120% confident that I can form the Golden Core.

"If we fail to achieve the Golden Core this time, it will be an injustice to Heaven."

Before forming his core, Jiang Yunfei left his underground cave and took a tour of the outside.

This place is located at the junction of the central area and the core area of ​​the secret realm, and there are almost no people around.

After surveying the area and finding no trace of humans, Jiang Yun returned to his underground cave and began to adjust his mindset, preparing to attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Several days later, he adjusted his mindset and reached his optimal state before officially attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Jiang Yun had experience in Core Formation in his previous life, and also had insights into Core Formation, so he was already very familiar with the things that needed to be done for Core Formation.

In fact, the Core Formation and Qi Refining are similar to the Foundation Establishment, both involving three stages: Qi and Blood, Mana, and Divine Sense.

Jiang Yun's physical body and consciousness had already reached the third level, so passing the Qi and Blood barrier and the consciousness barrier was a piece of cake.

With the abundant spiritual energy of the secret realm and the assistance of treasures such as third-tier demon cores, the Magic Barrier can be easily overcome.

It's safe to say that achieving the Core Formation this time is a sure thing.

Jiang Yun recalled his experience and insights from his previous life in forming the Golden Core, and began to circulate his inner energy.

The process of circulating the cultivation technique to compress liquid magical power, and then using divine sense to assist in the compression, requires a massive amount of spiritual energy to support it.

Half a month later, Jiang Yun condensed all the liquid mana in his dantian and then immediately swallowed a third-tier demon core.

Swallow this third-tier demon core, then refine and absorb two portions of Core Formation spiritual objects.

As time went by, a solid golden elixir took shape in his dantian.

After the Golden Elixir is condensed and formed, the Golden Elixir True Fire is born.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun was quite excited.

However, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He used his divine sense to guide a ball of golden core fire to envelop the newly formed golden core.

"If the Golden Core is tempered with the Golden Core True Fire for a month and it does not shatter, then you have officially entered the Golden Core stage."

Now is not the time to be happy. Jiang Yun calmed his mind and used his divine sense to control the Golden Core True Fire to temper the Golden Core.

One month later, the Golden Elixir was successfully refined by True Fire.

The golden elixir in the dantian not only did not shatter, but became even more solid.

"At the age of one hundred and eleven, he finally achieved the Golden Elixir!"

Jiang Yun opened her eyes, let out a breath, and looked somewhat excited.

In his previous life, he failed to achieve the Golden Elixir at the age of 256, but he finally succeeded in this life.

"A Golden Core cultivator's lifespan is five hundred years."

"If one can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, one's lifespan will be a thousand years."

Jiang Yun was radiant and full of energy.

He was preparing to unleash the Golden Elixir True Fire to test its power.

Suddenly I remembered that I was in a secret realm.

If you use your magic, you will be expelled from the secret realm.

So Jiang Yun suppressed his emotions and began to meditate.

The next moment, relying entirely on his physical strength, he leaped to the ground, found an open space, and unleashed his divine sense with all his might.

You cannot use magic power, but you can use your divine sense.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, Jiang Yun couldn't wait to examine the strength of his divine sense.

At this moment, the strength of his spiritual consciousness could no longer be measured in feet, but in miles.

One li, five li, ten li, fifteen li —

As the divine sense spread, it finally stopped after reaching a distance of twenty miles.

"The spiritual strength is twenty miles, and the growth of spiritual strength after forming the core is so rapid."

"The spiritual sense of a cultivator who has just broken through to the Core Formation stage is usually between three and ten miles."

"Furthermore, as one's cultivation level increases, one's spiritual sense can reach thirty miles in the early stages of Core Formation."

"I never expected that my spiritual sense would already be twenty miles strong after just breaking through to the Core Formation stage!"

After checking the strength of his spiritual sense, Jiang Yun felt greatly invigorated and returned to his underground cave to sit cross-legged.

"The secret realm will close in a year and a half, at which time everyone will be expelled."

"This year and a half is perfect for switching cultivation techniques and consolidating my cultivation level."

"Now that I have successfully formed my core, I can begin cultivating the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Core Shattering Technique."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun began to recall the incantation of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Shattering Pill Technique and then began to cultivate this technique.

Three months later, Jiang Yun completed the transformation of his cultivation technique and began to ponder deeply.

"The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill Shattering Technique can increase the probability of forming a Nascent Soul to 100% by shattering the core three times."

"However, now is not the time to break through the core. We need to gather enough resources for core formation before we can break through the core."

"In that case, we can prepare the resources for Core Formation in advance, and then immediately form a new Core after the Core is shattered."
