Chapter 180: Martial Arts Golden Core
Chapter 180: Martial Arts Golden Core
In the depths of the villa, a vast training room was hidden.
The Blue Star was home to numerous powerful beings who valued their privacy, and such private villas were impervious even to the probing of the 'Omniscient Brain'.
Fang Xing's true self sat cross-legged, with a test tube containing the 'Cosmic Yin-Yang Qi' placed before him.
Seated opposite him was his cultivation clone, along with a three-legged and two-eared bronze cauldron.
The cultivation clone opened the 'Myriad Transformation Cauldron' and took out a glossy pill that resembled black jade.
"This 'Crossing Tribulation Pill' is flawless! It's free of any pill toxins... In terms of value, it's probably comparable to a dose of 'Revival Water'."
The 'Crossing Tribulation Pill' was a third-grade superior-quality pill in the cultivation world, extremely rare and precious.
Its main function was as a healing pill for Golden Core cultivators. Even if one suffered severe injuries or had a shattered Golden Core, this pill could barely hold the core together and maintain a glimmer of life.
However, later on, a Foundation Establishment cultivator discovered that when taking this pill during the Golden Core formation process, even if the attempt failed, it could still save one's life.
Thus, its value skyrocketed once more, barely qualifying it as a Golden Core spiritual item.
After all, with a safety net in place, cultivators could bolster their confidence, which would also provide some assistance during breakthroughs.
With Fang Xing's status as a direct disciple of the True Sword Ancestor, once he cultivated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment, he could directly request a Golden Core spirit pill from the sect.
At that time, he should receive a 'Golden Core Pill', which could increase a typical peak Foundation Establishment cultivator's chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage by 20-30%.
In addition, the rest of his preparations were also top-notch.
For Fang Xing to request a 'Crossing Tribulation Pill' in advance was, of course, not a difficult task.
Not to mention, he had also killed so many fake pill cultivators and Golden Core cultivators, amassing a vast fortune... Even if he spent several hundred thousand spirit stones, he could still purchase one.
While obtaining this third-grade superior-quality pill would be a dream come true for other Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was easily within Fang Xing's grasp.
This 'Crossing Tribulation Pill' had also been refined by him using the Myriad Transformation Cauldron to remove the pill toxins, making it the best of the best.
In the cultivation world, it would drive Foundation Establishment cultivators to brave death without hesitation and even tempt Golden Core cultivators to act.
"I should be able to condense the Martial Arts Golden Core with a ninety-nine percent success rate, and I probably won't need this pill... But..."
Fang Xing toyed with the 'Crossing Tribulation Pill' for a while before casually tossing it to his cultivation clone.
The cultivation clone smiled slightly and put away the pill. With a wave of his hand,
flags were planted at the four corners of the basement, and the high-grade spirit stones embedded in the array plates burst into a dazzling radiance, causing array patterns to emerge and envelop the entire basement in a layer of dark clouds.
Within the clouds, Fang Xing took out a storage bag and poured out its contents.
Rumble!
Hundreds of high-grade spirit stones tumbled out, falling into various positions within the array, faintly forming a spirit vein.
"These are all the earnings I've painstakingly accumulated through robbing houses and shops... No, through righteous acts of bravery!"
The cultivation clone sensed the surging spiritual energy in the void and couldn't help but sigh.
He already had quite a few high-grade spirit stones, and later, when he subdued the Qingxu Zong with his sword, they naturally had to make a substantial payment.
There was also the Black Heaven Pavilion side; although he was too lazy to go there, the supervisor still had to obediently send the spirit stones to him.
Just these two major sects had brought Fang Xing nearly two hundred high-grade spirit stones in profits!
Not to mention the other chambers of commerce, Foundation Establishment sects, and clans in Zhenguo...
'The Wan Shou Zong truly doesn't know what's good for them... They'll get their comeuppance later!'
The cultivation clone complained, gazing at the man-made spirit vein before nodding in satisfaction: "The spiritual energy is abundant..."
If it were just a martial arts breakthrough, there would be no need for these elaborate arrangements.
However, Fang Xing was cultivating the 'Immortal Martial' path, and the process of condensing the Martial Arts Golden Core was somewhat unique.
"Federal martial arts are excellent, but there's no path beyond the Martial God..."
"I need to forge my own path, which will increase my chances of breaking through the Martial God realm in the future..."
"The Federation currently has the 'Star Martial', 'Exotic Martial', 'Armor Martial', and other legacies... All of which surpass the S-rank in martial arts and are the result of the efforts of predecessors..."
"By comprehending the 'Myriad Spirit Diagram', I'm standing on the shoulders of countless martial arts sages..."
During this period, Fang Xing's true self had not been idle, having comprehended all the fragments of the 'Myriad Spirit Diagram' on the cultivation clone's hand.
He had gained insights into various supreme martial arts, using them as nourishment for his 'Immortal Martial' path.
The research findings from the Blue Star University library and various laboratories had also provided him with plenty of inspiration.
"Now, it's time for the moment of truth!"
Fang Xing stood silently, his blood and qi swirling like a furnace, as the sounds of dragons and tigers reverberated! A black dragon and a white tiger appeared in the void, their hair and scales vividly lifelike, showcasing his pinnacle of external visualization.
As Fang Xing silently operated the 'Dragon and Tiger Stance', the dragon and tiger began to coil and entwine... transforming into a black and white Tai Chi diagram.
The Tai Chi diagram rotated silently, and with Fang Xing's true self as the dividing line between the yin and yang fish, a subtle sense of demarcating yin and yang naturally emerged.
In the attribute panel, the last bit of proficiency in the Dragon and Tiger Stance finally reached maximum!
In the center of the Tai Chi diagram, at the point that was neither here nor in the beyond, nor in the middle, a hint of golden light mysteriously converged!
After reaching the pinnacle of external visualization, Fang Xing's advancement to the sixth realm of martial arts – the Golden Core – was as smooth as flowing water!
'If it were an ordinary Golden Core, I would have a hundred percent success rate, and something like the Revival Water wouldn't even be necessary!'
The sarira in Fang Xing's brow chakra shone like a wheel of light, radiating spiritual power in circles, allowing him to clearly witness the process of 'Golden Core condensation'.
His unparalleled spiritual power was rapidly facilitating the formation of the Golden Core!
That faint glimmer of golden light became more and more substantial, transforming into a 'virtual pellet', its radiance gradually intensifying.
This was the Blue Star's most orthodox 'Dragon-Tiger Golden Core'!
"It's time," Fang Xing said as he crushed the test tube, causing the cosmic yin-yang qi to spill out and be absorbed by the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram!
Within the diagram, the black dragon and white tiger reappeared, their demeanors fierce and sinister, their auras hundreds of times stronger than before.
Roar!
The dragon's roar and tiger's growl reverberated, shaking the original Martial Arts Golden Core.
"As expected... There's a reason the university doesn't encourage everyone to thicken their Golden Core foundation... It's already challenging for ordinary students to condense a Martial Arts Golden Core, and doing it this way is just making things harder for themselves. What might have succeeded could now fail."
Fang Xing nodded to himself, silently operating the exchanged Condensing Qi and Refining Tendons technique: "Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger! Subdue! Subdue! Subdue!"
The sarira between his brows manifested, transforming into a scarlet vajra mark on his forehead.
Terrifying vajra true fire appeared, like a pill furnace, into which the black dragon and white tiger were thrown, quickly refining them...
Having obtained the cosmic yin-yang qi, the once proud black dragon and white tiger immediately withered, being refined into strands of black and white qi that re-entered the black and white Tai Chi diagram.
The black and white Tai Chi diagram gradually shrank, merging into the Martial Arts Golden Core, causing the 'Dragon-Tiger Golden Core' to glow brightly, almost reaching perfection, becoming round and lustrous... carrying a sense of indestructibility.
"It's done... With this thickened foundation, it can be called the 'Yin-Yang Golden Core', surpassing the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core... With this robust foundation, coupled with the 'Dragon-Elephant Vajra Indestructible Divine Ability', advancing to the Great Vajra Realm will be as easy as pie!"
A thought flashed through Fang Xing's mind, and a smile appeared on his face.
This was the limit of the Federal geniuses!
But he was different!
Since he had decided to forge his own path and ascend beyond the Martial God in the future, the Yin-Yang Golden Core was not enough!
"Here! Soldier! Fight! Each! Array! Front! Go!"
Just as the Yin-Yang Golden Core was about to be formed, the cultivation clone formed seals with both hands, and from his dantian, the nine orifices Golden Core, comparable to a pellet-forming level, surged out, like a dragon, injecting its power into the Yin-Yang Golden Core!
Crack!
The Yin-Yang Golden Core couldn't withstand the influx of power from another realm, and it started to crack.
The cultivation clone quickly flicked his finger, and an exquisite 'Crossing Tribulation Pill' flew out, refining itself in mid-air with the pellet-forming power.
Its medicinal power enveloped Fang Xing's main body, barely holding the Yin-Yang Golden Core together.
It seems like this is a sound or an onomatopoeia. I'll translate it as:
Fang Xing sat cross-legged, and with his dragon-like breathing, the surging spiritual energy in the void was devoured and swept away, like a mighty river flowing upstream, pouring into the 'Yin-Yang Golden Core', which was full of cracks.
"The cultivation clone and I are one. His power is too much for my Golden Core to handle... If it were someone else, wanting to switch to the cultivation of the immortal martial path would probably be incredibly difficult..."
"But my previous idea was right!"
Fang Xing's eyes lit up.
Along with the influx of spiritual energy, the high-quality spirit stones dimmed and exhausted their energy, exploding into powder.
The Yin-Yang Golden Core gradually became round and smooth, accepting the existence of power, and on the surface of the Golden Core, purple veins appeared.
'Purple Veined Longevity Golden Core?'
Fang Xing named this Golden Core descriptively.
At the same time, a lot of information appeared on the attribute panel:
[Occupation Change!]
[Martial Artist → Immortal Warrior!]
[You have obtained the occupational trait - 'Immortal Martial Fusion'!]
[Immortal Martial Fusion: You can sense the spiritual energy in the void, and your qi and blood power can be mutually transformed and converged with your power!]
...
"Occupation... changed?"
Fang Xing touched his lower abdomen and saw that all the anomalies in the basement had disappeared. He quickly sat cross-legged and focused his attention on the attribute panel:
[Name: Fang Xing]
[Age: 25]
[Occupation: Immortal Warrior]
[Sixth Realm: Golden Core (0/84)]
[Dragon-Tiger Stance: 800/800 (Grand Master)]
[Star Martial Four Extremes: 372/800 (Grand Master)]
[Dragon-Elephant Vajra Indestructible Divine Ability: 551/800 (Grand Master)]
[Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 1/400 (Master)]
[Heavenly Mother's Majestic Golden Lotus Twin Safeguard Tome: 1/400 (Master)]
[Great Sun Tathagata Palm: 1/100 (Beginner)]
[Gate of the Gods: 2/100 (Locating)]
...
"As expected, I've broken through to the sixth realm of martial arts..."
"The Dragon-Tiger Stance can't be improved any further. Is Grand Master perfection the limit of proficiency? Or... do I need some special condition?"
Fang Xing looked at the proficiency behind the Golden Core and discovered that it was only 84, but then a piece of information appeared.
"To cultivate the Martial Arts Golden Core, you need to 'point to the sha cavities and condense the tendinous pulse'... From nothing, open up seventy-two cavities in the body, and at the same time, every six cavities can condense a 'tendinous pulse', so there are twelve tendinous pulses..."
"When the seventy-two sha cavities and twelve tendinous pulses are perfected, will the Golden Core be perfected? Can I extract indestructible material and advance to the Vajra Realm?"
