Chapter 265: Core Formation Mid-stage
Chapter 265: Core Formation Mid-stage
Several days later.
Star River Island.
Fang Xing arrived at a newly built farm and casually scattered some seeds from the cultivation world.
"Xiao Lan... From now on, you're in charge of security for this farm. I'll purchase a batch of drones and agricultural robots for you to command... If any intrusion is detected, you can directly destroy all the crops."
Fang Xing issued the order.
In truth, he didn't place much importance on these cultivation fields.
He merely went through the motions, ensuring that his research had a plausible source.
The transplanted spirit herbs from the cultivation world lacked spiritual energy and were all withering; to keep them barely alive, he had to frequently sprinkle spirit stone fragments.
These were all exclusive technologies, guaranteed to trap any plunderers in a bloody mess.
'Even if the experiment succeeds, the true source of raw materials must be kept in the cultivation world... This is just a decoy to keep people off the scent.'
After finishing his work, Fang Xing returned to the villa and resumed his daily cultivation.
His Martial Dao Will was like a blazing sun, continuously dispelling the mists within his Sea of Consciousness.
A point of light appeared, followed by another, flickering in and out of existence...
In his Sea of Consciousness, there were now five such points of light, faintly resembling the Big Dipper.
【Martial Will Rune: 5/100 (Beginner)】
He glanced at his attribute panel and was very satisfied with this progress.
"It seems my Martial Dao Will is too strong, and my foundation is excellent... After entering the Celestial Map, the progress is incredibly fast..."
"However, after completing the Celestial Map, wanting to comprehend the second 'Beast Pattern' will be another huge hurdle!"
"Perhaps some Sage Warriors are stuck at this step..."
Fang Xing stood up and entered the holographic virtual cabin to play a game.
Thanks to the Galactic Holographic Universe Company, interstellar communication had become incredibly convenient, and people from different planets playing games together had become a common occurrence.
In the past, the cost of quantum communication alone could have bankrupted someone.
Fang Xing chose a popular game called 'Ape Legacy', where players could take on the roles of various beasts, learn martial arts, and adventure in a world of beasts.
Rumor had it that a major backer was a martial arts sect specializing in beast-shaped fist techniques, which had heavily promoted the game.
Fang Xing followed the trend and chose a white ape. After entering the game, he saw a two-meter-tall white ape standing upright, swiftly swinging through the treetops in the forest.
Not long after, he arrived at a crude bandit camp.
Various bull-headed horse-faced and tiger-headed humanoids bustled in and out of the camp, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Sure enough, they're all beasts in human clothing..."
Fang Xing commented sarcastically and entered the camp, noticing a wall covered in guild recruitment notices, player-versus-player challenges, and dungeon run announcements.
His eyes lit up as he spotted a particular notice:
【'Dragon Pool Tiger Lair' Guild is constantly recruiting for horse grass, holosun iron, and fiery wind orbs...】
A very ordinary notice, seemingly no different from the others.
But Fang Xing knew that this was a message from the disciples of his sect.
Before leaving Blue Star, he had made arrangements for his cultivation clone to meet with these disciples weekly, gathering intelligence in the form of encrypted messages hidden within public documents, spanning dozens of the hottest games at the moment.
Furthermore, he would never contact them directly; they were the ones exposing the information unilaterally.
This meant shifting all the risks onto those disciples.
It wasn't fair, but what could he do? He was the sect leader!
To complete his undercover mission, he had to offload the risks onto his subordinates and then sell them out!
'Hmm... They're quite dedicated. Some of them are definitely informants for the Federation's intelligence agencies... The information is quite timely.'
Fang Xing indulged in the game, behaving like an internet-addicted youth.
After several days, he exited the virtual cabin, having gained a good understanding of the recent events in the Federation.
"Recently, the number of attacks in numerical space has increased significantly..."
"Suspected to be related to the sect of Heart3... Most of the descending vassals are pure spiritual beings or dream creatures..."
"The Dream Gods?"
Fang Xing knew that he could directly grasp the key point of 'Dream Gods' because he had acquired the Demon God knowledge from the sect leader.
It might take time for the Federation to trace this connection.
But...
"These attacks are pointless... The Federation should have the upper hand in the numerical space battlefield... These sporadic breakthroughs require more sacrifices on the battlefield... And apart from provoking the Federation, they serve little purpose."
"The Federation has hunted down Overlords before... This Dream God, an extra-dimensional demonic deity, isn't that powerful. Once the Federation targets it..."
Fang Xing sensed a restless atmosphere within the Federation.
Many citizens believed that since even the Moon Goddess herself could be slain, the Federation should adopt a more aggressive approach towards extra-dimensional demonic deities.
After the attack on Blue Star, many martial arts faction senators had clamored for retaliation, and the impact of this was gradually manifesting in various aspects of society.
Heart3... Creator Sect... Dream Gods?!"
Fang Xing's eyes widened in surprise, "Could the so-called 'Dream Gods'... be related to the Creator? Is it the Creator's direct offspring? But that doesn't make sense... According to Heart3, the Creator gave birth to everything, and most Overlords are its children..."
"Now that several of the children have died, the Creator hasn't shown any signs of awakening..."
"Unless... these Dream Gods aren't as simple as direct offspring..."
Fang Xing took a deep breath.
Even though he vaguely grasped the outline of this plan, he couldn't disclose it to the Federation.
Aside from the issue of the source of this information, for the Federation to accept this claim, they would first have to acknowledge the existence of the 'Creator' as a premise.
Only after seeing the Creation Slate and acquiring the knowledge of Demon God Sect from the Master of the Gate School could he make such a judgment.
However, at the Federation's Science Academy, the existence of the 'Creator' was still just a speculation.
"I'm insignificant, and my words carry no weight... It's better to keep quiet to avoid trouble."
Fang Xing sighed, "It seems I need to establish a connection with the Nine Swords Academy as soon as possible..."
To attract the attention of the Nine Swords Academy, the best approach was to use his doctoral research topic as a stepping stone.
...
The Cultivation World.
Yunzhou, Hundred Flowers Mountain.
Inside the cave mansion.
Fang Xing sat cross-legged, his divine consciousness focusing on the Dantian Qi Sea.
Within, a platinum-colored Golden Core was voraciously absorbing the heaven and earth's spiritual energy from a fourth-rank spirit vein, and a small sword inside emitted a clear sword cry.
Below the Golden Core, the Ten Thousand Dharma Ghost Baby with a Great Sun imprint on its forehead sat cross-legged, also making a hand seal.
The originally rampant heaven and earth's spiritual energy instantly became extremely docile, following the circulation path of the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Canon, flowing within his body, and eventually transforming into solid essence energy of the Core Formation level, merging into the immortal platinum-colored Golden Core.
The platinum-colored Sword Core was affected by this, as if greatly nourished, and its size instantly expanded.
Inside the quiet room.
Fang Xing opened his eyes, "Have I reached the mid-stage of Core Formation?"
With the combined effects of Ten Thousand Year Stone Drips, Supreme Spirit Ginseng Pill, and fourth-rank spiritual energy, his cultivation progress was unbelievably fast.
Ordinary Core Formation cultivators would seclude themselves for decades, and even then, their cultivation progress would be slow.
But in a short period, Fang Xing had made rapid progress, reaching the peak of magical power at the initial stage of Core Formation.
Then, Fang Xing casually attempted to break through to the mid-stage of Core Formation.
The result left him speechless; the so-called bottleneck didn't appear, and he smoothly broke through to the mid-stage of Core Formation as usual.
This meant that the series of bottleneck-breaking pills Fang Xing had prepared, such as the Life-Taking Obstacle-Breaking Pill, were all useless.
"Perhaps it's because my foundation is solid, and the Immortal Golden Core is of superior quality, so even at the Core Formation stage, bottlenecks rarely appear?"
"Additionally, the fourth-rank spirit vein played a significant role... At the very least, the supply of spiritual energy was sufficient for my breakthrough, and I didn't need to absorb extra heaven and earth's spiritual energy, creating a phenomenon..."
After breaking through to the mid-stage of Core Formation, Fang Xing carefully sensed his Golden Core's essence energy and magical power, which were now more than twice as powerful as before.
Furthermore, his divine consciousness, nourished by the Golden Core's essence energy, had also skyrocketed, reaching a limit of around five li.
With the Ten Thousand Dharma Ghost Baby, he could control an area of seventy to eighty li.
He could vaguely sense magical power fluctuations within a hundred li.
"Lastly, the 'Rusty Sword' has also been blessed and has advanced to a third-rank medium-grade magic treasure... This is a natural consequence, as its material essence is sufficient, and even a third-rank treasure would be an understatement."
"Once I truly condense my Primordial Spirit, this sword will immediately advance to a Divine Treasure, and its might will shock the entire cultivation world!"
Fang Xing was very satisfied. He counted the pills on his body and realized that he didn't have many Spirit Ginseng Pills left.
"It's just right. I've been taking Spirit Ginseng Pills all this time, and my body has developed some resistance, reducing their effectiveness... It's time to try refining the 'Five Cloud Pill'."
"The main materials for the Five Cloud Pill can be found in the Linlang Fortune Land, and I only need some auxiliary materials... I'll need help to gather them."
"It seems like I can't really give orders to the Mu family anymore..."
"Looks like Mu Wanlong needs to fully recover and make a comeback..."
A divine light flashed in his hand, and the Qingyang Demon Lantern slowly emerged.
Inside the lantern, the Qingyang Demon Fire and Soul Annihilating Demon Flame, which had been intertwining and devouring each other, had completely disappeared.
In their place was a dark green flame—the Soul Devouring Demon Flame! After years of cultivation, the two fourth-rank demon fires had finally merged not just a thread but had completely fused their source fire seeds, becoming the Soul Devouring Demon Flame!
"This kind of demon fire is best at burning divine souls. Even Primordial Spirit cultivators wouldn't dare to get close to it... At the same time, it retains the power of the Qingyang Demon Fire to refine gold and iron, making it an extremely sharp weapon even among Primordial Spirit True Monarchs."
Fang Xing tried out the Soul Devouring Demon Flame and was very pleased with its performance.
He walked out of the cave mansion and suddenly saw a sound transmitter flying around like a headless fly within the formation.
"Someone is actually looking for me?"
Fang Xing was slightly surprised. He flicked his finger, and a sword energy brought the sound transmitter back.
After listening to a few sentences, a playful smile appeared on his face...
