Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Time flew by, and three years passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Liang's cultivation level broke through to the Pseudo-Core Realm.

At this moment, a nascent golden core composed of solid true essence fragments was floating in Chen Liang's dantian, with some viscous liquid true essence mixed in, allowing this nascent golden core to finally take shape.

This situation is completely different from that of ordinary pseudo-core cultivators, because the nascent golden core of ordinary pseudo-core cultivators is formed entirely from viscous liquid true essence.

This difference began in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Initially, the liquid true essence in Chen Liang's dantian was not much different from that of ordinary cultivators, except that it was a little more viscous.

However, ever since Chen Liang cultivated the Three-Colored Fire Lotus and absorbed the Core Formation level True Essence and Soul Essence within it, solid True Essence fragments began to appear in his dantian.

These fragments were initially small, but quickly became quite noticeable over time. Eventually, they were bound together by the remaining viscous liquid true essence in Chen Liang's dantian, forming a nascent golden core, and Chen Liang's cultivation broke through to the pseudo-core realm.

Next, ordinary cultivators should use spiritual medicines such as Snow Spirit Water, Heavenly Fire Liquid, Dust-Reducing Pill, or Harmony Yuan Pill to assist in the formation of the Golden Core, so that the Yin and Yang spiritual power inside the Golden Core embryo can be combined into one and transform into solid true essence, thereby breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Just like needing Foundation Establishment Pills to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it's hard to say how long it would take for a cultivator to break through their realm without the help of these spiritual medicines.

Some lucky people might break through in a decade or so, while others might never break through in their lifetime.

However, the spiritual energy within Chen Liang's body had already achieved yin-yang unity, so Chen Liang himself was a little curious about how he would break through to the Core Formation stage.

To Chen Liang's surprise, the answer appeared before him very quickly. The next moment, the world outside seemed to sense something, causing the surrounding five elements of spiritual energy to surge wildly towards Chen Liang's body.

As a result, the viscous liquid true essence within the nascent golden core began to rapidly transform into solid true essence. Even after the nascent golden core truly became a golden core, the surrounding five elements of spiritual energy continued to flow towards Chen Liang.

As this wave continued to expand, even ordinary people on the first level of Tianxing City could sense the strange phenomenon of spiritual energy gathering at Chen Liang's cave, let alone the cultivators of Tianxing City.

Some Qi Refining and even Foundation Establishment cultivators quickly gathered at Chen Liang's cave, while some Core Formation cultivators also came out of their caves or pavilions to look at the location of Chen Liang's cave.

At this moment, Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, and Xiaomei, the three women inside the cave, were initially bewildered by this sudden phenomenon. It wasn't until they stepped out of the cave and witnessed the strange phenomenon above the cave with their own eyes in the courtyard that they realized it was clearly the phenomenon of Core Formation recorded in ancient texts.

This surprised and delighted the three women. They never expected that Chen Liang's previous realm was only close to the Pseudo-Core Realm, but today he had triggered the Core Formation phenomenon.

However, they did not forget to fully activate the Inverted Five Elements Formation around the cave to prevent the cultivators outside from disturbing Chen Liang's breakthrough.

After a while, the strange phenomenon of Chen Liang forming a golden core not only did not stop, but became even more intense.

The convergence of the five elements of spiritual energy even created a phantom image of a five-colored magic ring above the cave.

This caused a great deal of discussion among all the cultivators and mortals who were watching, because the phenomenon of a cultivator forming their core was not like this.

At the headquarters of the Miaoyin Sect, Wang Heng, the sect leader dressed in a purple robe and exuding an air of refined elegance, spoke up: "Is this unusual phenomenon due to the cultivation of some special technique?"

Standing beside Wang Heng was a still-attractive woman in a purple robe, his wife and the deputy sect leader of the Miaoyin Sect—Zhou Yuan.

She added, "Regardless, any new fellow cultivator who can cause such a strange phenomenon is worth befriending, isn't it?"

Wang Heng smiled and said, "Madam is right..."

Elder Jia, dressed in a black Nascent Soul robe and covered with golden armor, looked down at the Core Formation phenomenon below and said, "Investigate this person's background. If he has no major connection with either the righteous or demonic paths and his aptitude is not too bad, then recruit him into our Star Palace."

Upon hearing this, the white-robed Star Palace steward bowed and replied, "Yes, Your subordinate will go immediately."

At the same time, Core Formation cultivators from other sects also had the idea of ​​befriending Chen Liang or recruiting him as a disciple.

There were even more independent cultivators at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages who wanted to become disciples of Chen Liang.

Soon after, the golden core in Chen Liang's body had more than doubled in size, and the strange phenomenon of core formation he had caused began to dissipate.

Until Chen Liang completely stabilized his realm, he became a Core Formation cultivator, a thirty-three-year-old Core Formation cultivator.

This time, he has set a new record for the fastest Core Formation speed in the human realm, apart from those Nascent Soul monsters who have been reborn through possession.

When Chen Liang stepped out of the secret room, he saw Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, and Xiao Mei, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Chen Qiaoqian: "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on forming your Golden Core."

Xin Ruyin: "Congratulations, my lord, on achieving the Core Formation."

Xiao Mei: "Congratulations, young master! You will now be a Core Formation Realm cultivator."

Chen Liang nodded to Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, and Xiaomei, who were bowing, and accepted their congratulations.

At this moment, Xiao Wu flew out of the pet room next to it, landed on Chen Liang's shoulder, and let out a series of cheerful cries.

Before arriving at the Chaotic Star Sea, Xiao Wu had already advanced to a level four demon beast. After consuming the Blood Condensation Five Elements Pill and undergoing more than two years of slumber, it had advanced to a level five demon beast, even faster than Chen Liang.

Afterwards, Chen Liang shared his insights on Core Formation with Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, and Xiaomei. Unfortunately, due to Chen Liang's special circumstances, these insights were not very useful to them.

In addition, Chen Liang also gave Chen Qiaoqian a copy of "Liangyi Yuanhe Gong", a supplementary cultivation method that Chen Qiaoqian should also practice.

After all, it not only allows cultivators to achieve the unity of Yin and Yang in their spiritual power ahead of time, thus avoiding the bottleneck of Core Formation, but it also indirectly makes their magical power much stronger.

After finishing these tasks, Chen Liang still had to deal with the mountain of communication jade talismans piled up outside the cave. Most of them were requests to become disciples, while the rest were invitations to make friends or very direct solicitations.

In response, Chen Liang directly announced his five spiritual roots. This action indeed brought peace and quiet to Chen Liang's cave, and no more communication jade talismans or cultivators bothered him.

Some cultivators even recorded the existence of Chen Liang, a cultivator with five spiritual roots who had reached the Core Formation stage, intending to pass it down as an interesting anecdote to tell future generations.

Han Li came to visit not long after. Chen Liang met him in the courtyard outside the cave. Han Li bowed somewhat reservedly and said, "Congratulations, Master... Uncle-Master, on forming your Golden Core."

Chen Liang waved his hand and said, "Hey, junior brother, don't be so formal. Just call me as you always have."

Han Li: "Well... I'll accept your offer without hesitation. But it's truly beyond my reach that you, Senior Brother, have already achieved Core Formation at such a young age. If the senior uncles of Huangfeng Valley and Ancestor Linghu knew, they would probably all beg you to return to the sect."

Chen Liang simply shook his head and said, "My situation is just special."

Han Li: "I wonder if Senior Brother could impart some insights into Core Formation? I am truly yearning for the Core Formation realm, so I have shamelessly come to ask for your guidance today."

Chen Liang was not a petty person, and upon hearing this, he reiterated his insights on Core Formation. After pondering the key points, Han Li realized that Chen Liang's success was not replicable.

Han Li thus abandoned his idea of ​​taking a shortcut to break through to the Core Formation stage and prepared to gradually improve his cultivation level. Then he would try to break through to the Core Formation stage, and if he failed, he would disperse his energy again.

However, Chen Liang paused for a moment before saying, "By the way, junior brother, I have a self-created auxiliary cultivation technique here called 'The Two Elements Unity Technique'."

Although practicing this technique won't allow you to reach the Core Formation stage as quickly as I have, it will allow you to merge the Yin and Yang spiritual energies within your body ahead of time, thus avoiding the bottleneck of breaking through the Core Formation stage.

Furthermore, this method can also make your spiritual power about twice as strong as an ordinary person's. Are you interested?

Seeing Chen Liang raise an eyebrow at him, Han Li, whose heart was already fluttering, quickly nodded.

"Interested! Of course I'm interested."

Then he seemed to realize something and quickly took out a storage bag full of spirit stones and materials.

Among them were about 20,000 spirit stones and materials worth more than 10,000 spirit stones, which was now most of Han Li's wealth. Chen Liang took the storage bag, scanned it with his divine sense, and then took out a copy of "The Two Elements Unity Technique" and handed it to Han Li.

Han Li took the "Two Elements Unity Technique" and read it through. After confirming that its effects were real, he put aside the "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique" that he had previously treasured.

What "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique"? It's nowhere near as good as "Two Elements Unity Technique"!
