My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Chapter 402 - 247: Celestial Demon Obstructing the Path

True intent births true knowledge; the spiritual sense naturally responds.

When the three become one, body and mind find instant peace.

After breathing in and Refining an unknown amount of Spiritual Qi, a gatha about Core Formation from the *Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture* suddenly surfaced in Yang Jing’s mind. At the same time, a Spiritual Light erupted within his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

He felt a sense of certainty, knowing the opportunity for Core Formation had arrived.

The Magical Power in his Dantian also began to shine brightly. A Five-Colored Divine Light illuminated his Dantian, making it transparent from the inside out.

Within the five-colored flames of light, a single, dazzling golden particle spiraled upward.

All his Magical Power instantly condensed into a single Golden Core.

Yang Jing slowly exhaled. The trial of Solidifying Pill was over. If a cultivator’s foundation was insufficient or they had accumulated too little Magical Power, they would fail to solidify the pill.

This Pill was not stable. Even with Yang Jing controlling it with his Divine Sense, it threatened to collapse at any moment. He had to use the full force of his Divine Sense to restrain it and maintain the Golden Core’s shape.

Only when the Golden Core was fully condensed would the Core Formation be considered a success.

This stage tested whether a Cultivator’s Divine Sense and Magical Power were sufficiently pure. If their Divine Sense was even slightly lacking, the Pill would break, their Magical Power would drain away, and their Cultivation would be completely lost.

Even if their Realm remained, they would have to painstakingly cultivate their Magical Power all over again.

Yang Jing’s Divine Sense was more than enough to pass this stage, and his Magical Power was refined to a state of flawless perfection. The only reason he was slow to successfully solidify the Pill was that his foundation was simply too profound, and the amount of Magical Power within the Golden Core was too immense.

The Thunder Ball previously formed from the Celestial Thunder Nine Methods Talisman burst forth with dazzling light. It merged with the Golden Core Yang Jing was condensing, transforming into streaks of Thunder Talismans that appeared on the Golden Core’s surface.

The Golden Core instantly became perfectly round and flawless, wreathed in a purple-gold aura.

With the help of these nine Thunder Talismans, Yang Jing’s Golden Core solidified in an instant. It was no longer in a state akin to Elixir Liquid as before, which required his constant, focused Divine Sense to prevent it from breaking.

Reaching this step meant he was already on the verge of successfully completing his Core Formation. Some of the more unrestrained cultivators would have already begun to loudly recite gathas to celebrate their success.

Yang Jing, however, did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. He continued to draw in the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, Refining it into Magical Power via the Five Elements Wheel.

This Five Elements Magical Power flowed like clouds at sunset. The five energies circulated, tempering the newly formed Golden Core according to the Five Elements of Mutual Generation and Inhibition.

This was a Secret Technique from the *Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture*: tempering the Golden Core with the five energies. If one’s accumulation in the Five Elements Dao was deep enough, they could even raise the quality of their Golden Core by an entire tier out of thin air.

Yang Jing possessed the Talent for the Five Elements Great Escape. When it came to the Five Elements Principle alone, he was confident that no Cultivator of the same realm could surpass him.

Under the tempering of the Five Elements Magical Power, the Golden Core actually began to shed all its postnatally-acquired impurities, showing signs of returning to an Innate state.

A pill pattern faintly emerged upon the surface of the Golden Core.

Outside the Quiet Chamber, just as the Golden Core first began to condense, the absorption of Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth suddenly intensified.

The Spiritual Qi in the entire area of Cave Mansions used for seclusion by the Northern Army Governor’s Mansion’s Cultivators was completely drained. Like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, it all surged into the Cave Mansion where Yang Jing was.

Quick-eyed and quicker-handed, Iron Head grabbed the chubby Yellow Foot to prevent his junior brother from being swept up by the frenzied tide of Spiritual Qi and slammed against the Cave Mansion’s Restriction.

The Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism, already in chaos due to the ongoing Magical Combat, now rolled in like a surging tide.

As Cultivators who practiced the *Five Talisman Scripture*, Iron Head and Ji Feng’s perception of the world’s Five Element Spiritual Energy was far superior to others. The two were shocked to find that they had lost all control over it.

Although Qiu Danqi did not practice the *Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture*, she had seen several senior brothers from the Sect who did undergo Core Formation. None of them had ever caused such a commotion.

"This astonishing ability to absorb and release Spiritual Qi is beyond even what an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator can achieve. Junior Brother Yang must have already succeeded in forming his core; he’s just tempering it with a Secret Technique now."

As a fellow Core Formation Cultivator of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect, she naturally had a general understanding of the *Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture* and knew that Yang Jing had reached the step of tempering his Golden Core.

After the fall of the Central Continent, Core Formation became exceptionally difficult for ordinary Cultivators. Cultivation Techniques were modified, and the ancient system of dividing pills into nine grades was lost.

’But judging from the phenomenon accompanying Junior Brother Yang’s Core Formation, his must be an Upper Grade pill, even by the standards of the Upper Realm.’

Qiu Danqi suppressed the jealousy in her heart. Once Junior Brother Yang successfully formed his core, the difference in their status would be like heaven and earth.

They would both be Golden Cores, but in the eyes of the Sect Elders, they would be completely different.

After Ancestor Master Canghai passed away, the Five Elements True Spirit Sect had been in decline, a period of silent stagnation.

’But now, with a genius like Junior Brother Yang, the day of our revival is just around the corner.’

BOOM!

A sky-shattering boom echoed.

A Yellow Dragon Qi shot into the sky and crushed a Skull Demon Head that was letting out a piercing, ghostly shriek.

The scattered Demonic Qi was completely cleansed by the auspicious aura radiating from the Yellow Dragon.

In the past month, the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators from the Four Demon Sects had come to cause trouble no less than seven times. Each time, they were assisted by a Demon King of the Nascent Soul Realm.

They continuously released all sorts of Demon Sounds, wanting to interfere with Yang Jing’s Core Formation in the Quiet Chamber.

"Haha!"

Canyuan True Monarch let out a hearty laugh.

"The Qilin’Er of our Six Sects has formed his Golden Core! All your schemes to ruin his Cultivation were ultimately for nothing!"

"Kekeke, don’t get so cocky, Elder Canxuan!"

The Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator’s figure flickered and vanished over the horizon. The Profound Yin Blood Demon who had come with him also let out a mournful screech before transforming into a streak of bloody light and escaping.

The Qi Cultivators in the Northern Army Governor’s Mansion all breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with the Tier Five Array separating them, the Profound Yin Blood Demon had still managed to affect them considerably. That final demonic screech had even caused the qi and blood of many of the physically weaker Cultivators to flow in reverse, leaving them in excruciating pain.
