Chapter 119, Third Rebirth, Complete!
Another three years have passed.
On this day, the spiritual energy in the cave suddenly became restless.
The originally calm flow of spiritual energy seemed to be stirred up by some force, and began to spin wildly, converging in a certain direction.
The restrictions within the cave trembled slightly, emitting a soft buzzing sound.
Lin Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and walked out of the quiet room.
The source of the noise is the quiet room where the incarnation of the melody resides.
"Qu Hun is about to form his core!"
Lin Chuan was overjoyed.
He then quickly walked to the outside of the avatar's quiet room and sensed the situation inside through the barrier.
Inside the quiet room, the transformed soul sat cross-legged, his hands forming hand seals, his blood and magical energy intertwining to form a huge vortex.
Soon after.
Suddenly, a violent surge of spiritual energy emanated from the quiet room where the incarnation of Qu Hun resided.
The fluctuations were initially within a controllable range, but after only a few breaths, they surged out like a flood bursting its banks, instantly breaking through the isolation barrier set up by Lin Chuan!
The celestial phenomenon of Core Formation has arrived!
The spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to be stirred up by an invisible giant hand, and began to surge wildly.
The originally calm spiritual energy transformed into countless visible rays of light, converging from all directions toward the location of Lin Chuan's cave.
Above the cave, dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, gathering and churning at an astonishing speed, covering an area of several miles in the blink of an eye.
Within the dark clouds, silver arcs of electricity, like nimble serpents, darted and flashed, crackling and popping, casting the entire sky in a flickering light.
"Another person has reached the Core Formation stage!"
Such an unusual phenomenon naturally could not escape the perception of the many cultivators on the sacred mountain.
In the caves on the forty-seventh, forty-eighth, and even higher levels, divine senses and gazes were cast toward the area where Lin Chuan's cave was located.
Some were envious, some were jealous, some were confused, and some remained calm.
However, there are many cultivators on the Holy Mountain, and although Core Formation is considered a core strength, it is not uncommon.
Every few years, there are always a few cases, and sometimes even several people achieve the Core Formation in a single year, which is not considered unusual.
Most people only paid a little attention, making a few comments like "I wonder which fellow Daoist it is," before turning their attention back to their own business.
The celestial phenomenon lasted for most of the day.
Dark clouds surged, silver snakes danced wildly, and spiritual energy boiled...
Finally, a clear, phoenix-like cry echoed from the valley, the dark clouds began to dissipate, the lightning gradually disappeared, and the world returned to clarity.
……
Inside the cave.
The stone door to the quiet room slowly opened.
The spirit of the melody emerged from the quiet room.
At this moment, his aura was completely different from before—a calm, heavy, and faintly bloodthirsty pressure enveloped his entire body. It was the aura unique to the Core Formation stage!
Lin Chuan stood outside the quiet room, watching the avatar emerge, a satisfied smile on his face.
"very good!"
Now, he possesses the combat power of two Core Formation cultivators: the Soul Transformation and the Bloodline Flood Dragon.
The Bloodline Flood Dragon is a level 5 demon beast with strength comparable to the early stage of Core Formation; its incarnation, Qu Hun, has just formed its Core, and although it is only a Demon Core, its combat power is enough to rival that of an ordinary early stage Core Formation cultivator.
In this chaotic star sea, as long as you don't provoke Nascent Soul cultivators or get surrounded by multiple Core Formation cultivators, you're basically safe.
During the three years that Lin Chuan spent in seclusion attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage, his own cultivation level had already returned to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
He felt the liquid magic power within his dantian—it was more viscous and more solid than it had been ten years ago.
Roughly estimated, the total amount of magic power is 70-80% more than it was 20 years ago!
If he is already this powerful after the second stage, and successfully forms his core after the third stage, his total magical power will absolutely crush those of the same level!
Lin Chuan took out an item from his storage bag—the silver spear he had found at the bottom of the sea twenty years ago.
This is an ancient treasure.
Ancient treasures are essentially magical artifacts, but they are different from the magical artifacts in the current cultivation world.
The magical artifacts crafted by ancient cultivators did not require the extensive effort and nurturing required for refinement and maintenance that is common today.
Once you get your hands on it, you can use it immediately without any need for refining! Although its power may not be as readily available as a natal magic weapon, it is convenient and can be used right away.
Twenty years ago, when he first obtained this item, he was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage and couldn't activate it at all. Now, after his second transformation and return to the peak of Foundation Establishment, his total mana has greatly increased, and his divine sense has reached the early Core Formation stage. He is actually able to activate this ancient treasure!
Although it can only unleash part of its power, it is enough to be a major trump card.
However, after a moment's hesitation, Lin Chuan still handed the silver spear to his avatar, Qu Hun.
"Use this. With your Core Formation stage cultivation, the power of this ancient treasure will far surpass mine."
The avatar took the spear and nodded.
……
Next, Lin Chuan went to the insect room where spirit insects were cultivated.
Inside the insect chamber, the jade box containing the gold-devouring insects still sat quietly in the corner, its sealing talisman intact.
Through the jade box, one could see that the silver sphere inside was still curled up, with a few gold-eating insects occasionally wriggling slightly, but overall, it was just in a normal dormant state and showed no signs of evolution.
Lin Chuan was not in a hurry.
Cultivating the Gold-Eating Insects requires time, but even more so, it requires a stroke of luck. He possesses the golden finger of fortune-telling, so he can always find a way to cultivate these Gold-Eating Insects.
……
After leaving the insect chamber, Lin Chuan began to think about his next plan.
Should we immediately undergo a third-stage retraining?
His resources—pills, spirit stones, and elixirs—were more than enough to support him in another round of cultivation retraining. The pure spiritual energy provided by the Spirit Eye Spring would also ensure that his cultivation speed would not be reduced.
"Forget it, opportunities can be sought at any time. For now, it's better to focus on rebuilding my cultivation."
Lin Chuan made up his mind.
……
The third stage of reformation begins.
This time, he handled the dissipation of his cultivation with ease. Half a month later, his cultivation level dropped to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Then came the long period of cultivation.
Day after day, year after year.
The Spirit Eye Spring flowed gurglingly, pills were consumed one by one, and magical power accumulated little by little.
……
Ten years later.
Lin Chuan returned to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage for the fourth time.
He sat cross-legged and focused his inner vision on his dantian.
Within his dantian, the liquid magical power had become extremely viscous, almost solidifying. Like a pool of thick mercury, this power flowed slowly through his meridians, each cycle bringing a far greater sense of power than before.
The Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique took a total of thirty years to complete.
Thirty years of arduous cultivation have resulted in a foundation far surpassing that of cultivators of the same level.
The process of breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation is essentially just a process of "liquid to solid state".
Ordinary cultivators' magical power is "water," and when forming their core, they need to compress the "water" into "ice."
His magic power was already close to the state of "ice," and compressing it into a solid state was naturally much easier for him than for ordinary people.
"It's time to attempt the Core Formation!"
……
Lin Chuan left the cave and went to the market.
He purchased the most common Core Formation spiritual items—Heavenly Fire Liquid, Snow Spirit Water, and Dust-Subduing Pill.
These three spiritual items are the most commonly used auxiliary items for cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea when forming their core. They are expensive, but their effects are stable.
With his foundation and the assistance of these spiritual objects, his success rate in forming his core is extremely high.
Back in his cave, Lin Chuan consumed spiritual items and began his secluded cultivation.
