Chapter 479: Third-Stage Starlight Pill

"I can feel it, you are strong!"

"Let's have a thrilling battle, Wang!"

A muffled voice rumbled from Wang Yuan's mouth, like a thunderclap in a clear sky.

Facing this provocation,

Jade Willow's eyebrows furrowed in anger.

"Hmm?"

A heavy sound reverberated, and a mighty spiritual pressure surged from her petite body, pressing towards the giant before her.

Boom! At this moment, Wang Yuan's face twitched slightly, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.

The overwhelming spiritual pressure forced him to kneel.

But how could his resilient fighting spirit allow him to kneel?

He clenched his teeth, constantly stimulating the vital energy within his body, stubbornly resisting this pressure.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

His bones trembled, and the sound of their rattling echoed from his body, like exploding bamboo joints.

His initially bent back gradually straightened under this stubborn willpower.

And he even showed signs of counterattacking!

Jade Willow, a Golden Core Cultivator from Mengquan Cave, showed a hint of surprise.

The spiritual pressure of a Golden Core Cultivator was a high-level suppression of their cultivation base over a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's spiritual energy, possessing absolute dominance.

She hadn't expected Wang Yuan to withstand her spiritual pressure.

Recalling how he had initially taken her palm strike head-on,

Jade Willow showed a thoughtful expression. Although Wang Yuan had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, his primary cultivation was in the path of body refinement, focusing on the power of vital energy.

Since it wasn't the same source of spiritual energy, even if his cultivation base was one level higher, it couldn't achieve absolute suppression.

"However!"

"Just relying on this, you dare to provoke me?"

Just as Jade Willow was about to use her methods, a clear voice came from the high platform in the north.

"Fellow Daoist, don't bother with these youngsters!"

As soon as the words fell, a spiritual pressure no less impressive than Jade Willow's Golden Core surged towards her.

The two forces collided, stirring up a whirlwind in the void.

As their robes fluttered, Jade Willow looked up at the speaker.

It was a young man in a bright red Daoist robe, with a handsome face.

He faced her gaze and made a fist salute.

"Luo Chen of the Luo Tian Sect, greetings!"

Luo Chen?

Danchenzi!

Jade Willow frowned, then glanced at Wang Yuan with dissatisfaction.

"This battle is a loss for Mengquan Cave."

After speaking, she swept her sleeves and left.

The three Mengquan Cave Foundation Establishment Cultivators, their faces ashen, followed her small figure, slipping away in embarrassment.

Only at this moment,

The previously silent hall burst into a cacophony of astonished murmurs, like waking from a dream.

The exclamations of surprise were nothing new, so there's no need to elaborate.

On the debate platform,

The Golden Core Elder of the Sword Sect stared at Wang Yuan's three-meter-tall body in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Could this body withstand a Golden Core sword strike?

As he thought this, he still announced the result.

"Luo Tian Sect's Wang Yuan wins, advancing to eighth place!"

After the loud announcement, he looked up at Wang Yuan.

"Do you want to continue the challenge?"

Wang Yuan licked his large mouth, eager to continue.

However, after hearing Luo Chen's divine sense transmission, he could only suppress this unyielding heart.

"That's enough!"

After speaking, he tapped his body a few times, and his massive body gradually began to shrink.

After donning a layer of coarse cloth, he left the debate platform and headed for the Luo Tian Sect's grandstand in the north.

Wherever he passed, he was met with admiring, reverent, and fearful gazes.

Even the Golden Core Cultivators showed looks of appreciation and curiosity.

In his ears, he heard phrases like: "He's so strong," "Why didn't he continue fighting?" "So big," and "His arms are so thick."

He ignored them all and headed straight for the grandstand where Luo Chen and the others were.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Luo Chen had set up a chair.

"Take a seat!"

Wang Yuan was taken aback. He scanned the other four Golden Core Cultivators, but none of them showed any signs of dissatisfaction.

Instead, their faces were filled with approval.

Wang Yuan sat down beside Luo Chen with neither arrogance nor humility.

"Why won't you let me continue fighting?"

"Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators are no match for you anymore. Only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who is a true disciple of a High-stage Nascent Soul Sect, or even a Dao Child-level existence, could pose a threat to you. There's no point in continuing."

"But..."

"You shouldn't have provoked that female cultivator from Mengquan Cave. She's not your match."

Wang Yuan's face showed disappointment.

But after careful consideration, he could only agree with Luo Chen's assessment.

The opponent's spiritual pressure alone was enough to make him feel like he was carrying a mountain.

If the Golden Core Cultivator were to use their full array of methods without restraint, the outcome would undoubtedly be a defeat.

Even with his dual cultivation in body refinement and qi condensation, and the completion of the Blood River Realm, he was still no match for a Golden Core Cultivator.

A single realm's difference was a world apart! Thinking back, when Luo Chen was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had consecutively slain two Golden Core Cultivators. Even with some trickery involved, his wisdom and courage were beyond comparison.

Wang Yuan sighed regretfully, "You're right, I was too arrogant."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his gaze shifting between the new round of battles on the debate platform and Wang Yuan.

"You are already quite strong. If you were to face a newly ascended Golden Core cultivator, you might have a chance to fight."

"But that Jade Willow is an unparalleled genius from Meng Quan Cave, possessing a Water-type Celestial Spirit Root. She achieved Core Formation within a hundred years and has the potential to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future. Meng Quan Cave left the Fenghua Domain and joined the Opening War, leaving their homeland, mainly to create a better environment for her future advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Right now, there is still a gap between you and her."

Wang Yuan was taken aback. Could that tiny female cultivator be so powerful?

He had only thought of her as an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Or perhaps, those who can achieve the Golden Core Stage are not ordinary to begin with!

"Speaking of which, it seems you have delved deeply into my 'Ten Thousand Paths Converge'!"

Luo Chen praised.

In the previous battle, he observed everything clearly through his divine perception.

Especially when Wang Yuan used the Gigantic Transformation, the details were extremely similar to the techniques described in 'Ten Thousand Paths Converge'.

Wang Yuan nodded, "Although I don't like transformations similar to demons, your 'Ten Thousand Paths Converge' indeed has many valuable aspects. Techniques like Qi absorption, armor formation, and the secret art of smoke forming armor from the Divine Craft Sect's Lu Rong have made my Gigantic Transformation more flexible and powerful."

Luo Chen suddenly understood.

The other party's talent and aptitude in body cultivation were indeed outstanding.

Realizing Qi Sensation alone was already astonishing.

Advancing further in transformations was only natural.

The only thing left for Wang Yuan to achieve was to gather his willpower, form an embryo, and condense his Qi into essence.

Thinking of this, he turned to Wu Diqi.

"Friend, what about the promised reward?"

Wu Diqi laughed and generously handed a green bag to Wang Yuan.

"Inside are ten strands of Divine Gale Essence. Consider the wind bag as an extra gift."

Wang Yuan took the green bag, probed it with his spirit sense, and then showed a satisfied expression.

Seeing him confirm it, Luo Chen also felt relieved.

"There's no need to rush with the third stage of body cultivation. At your current level, fighting peers won't have much effect. Golden Core Elders are too advanced."

"Wait!"

"Wait until the Opening War. Those simple Third Stage Demons will be the best whetstones for your advancement."

"Your opportunity lies not here, but in the mountains."

Wang Yuan nodded.

He naturally understood that the cultivators on the platform lacked the courage for life-and-death battles and could not provide the pressure of survival.

Today, making a name for himself and securing the eighth shop was enough!

Next.

Luo Chen and the others watched the other sects' shop-grabbing battles in full.

The techniques of those Foundation Establishment cultivators were entertaining to Wu Diqi and the others.

But to Luo Chen, it seemed rather dull.

As Wang Yuan had previously commented, these cultivators from the old domains might have powerful techniques, but their combat experience was lacking.

Their grasp of timing, risk assessment, and the courage to fight to the death were all far behind.

In the end, sect cultivators had not undergone much blood and fire. They might progress faster in cultivation, but in peer battles, they were not as ruthless and unreasonable as Luo Chen and Wang Yuan, who had been through countless life-and-death struggles.

The same techniques, when used by Luo Chen and his group, were far more lethal!

After all, they had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

The only thing that piqued Luo Chen's interest was perhaps the strange feeling of his changed status.

Once upon a time, he was just one of the insignificant spectators among the ten thousand.

He had also personally competed in alchemy.

But now, he had become one of those high-ranking Golden Core Elders, sitting in the pavilion and idly watching the storms.

...

As evening approached, Luo Chen lost interest in watching further.

He called Wang Yuan over, bid farewell to Wu Diqi and the others, and led the Luo Tian Sect disciples away.

Exiting the Debate Dao Platform.

The stifling atmosphere instantly cooled down, and the air seemed to become sweeter.

Walking on the wide street, Luo Chen chatted with Wang Yuan and Chu Kui about the first-hand information regarding the Opening War.

He had arrived a bit late, and the previous intelligence was already outdated.

Now, having just arrived, he naturally needed to gather detailed information.

However, the final intelligence was sparse.

Most of the previous intelligence focused on the construction of the Moonbreaker Immortal City. There were a few wandering cultivators who couldn't resist exploring the interior of the Howling Moon Mountain Range, but they had little to show for it.

The only thing that caught Luo Chen's attention was the intelligence about the Xiumo Wolf Clan.

"That Fourth Stage Demon Wolf King, named Ao Xiao, has been in his Transformation stage for over a hundred years."

"His strength is said to be formidable. The Luo Yun Sect's Golden Core Elder Han Zhan, who recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, once had a brief encounter with him. Han Zhan felt immense pressure and decided to stop and build the Moonbreaker Immortal City."

Hearing this, Luo Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

The Wolf King Ao Xiao being strong was expected.

Lower-rank demons lacked intelligence and acted purely on instinct, posing little threat.

After advancing to the third stage and refining the Horizontal Bone, its intelligence became indistinguishable from that of a normal human.

Once it transforms into a fourth-stage entity, due to its physical body and some rumored bloodline inheritance methods, demons often look down upon humans of the same stage.

But Han Zhan Zhenren felt a lot of pressure?

This was quite intriguing.

He clearly remembered that this person had dared to confront the Boneless Black Snake.

And that Boneless Black Snake had already transformed three hundred years ago, and its strength was absolutely above that of the Roaring Wolf King.

It didn't make sense for Han Zhan to fear the Boneless Black Snake but be afraid of the Roaring Wolf King.

"It's probably the same as my previous guess; Han Zhan's goal is to borrow the power of the Allied Forces to build a Super Immortal City and seize benefits."

"After all, the pressure he mentioned is self-perceived, not something observed by others."

Chu Kui continued to chat beside him.

They started discussing the general situation of the Xiumo Wolf Clan.

Under the Roaring Wolf King, there were thirty-six third-stage Demon Wolves, all under the command of the Wolf King.

Additionally, there were thousands of second-stage Wolf Clan members, and countless first-stage Demon Wolves!

This force was very powerful!

But in front of the twenty-seven sects, it didn't seem like much.

The Luoyun Sect sent out hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and over ten Golden Core Elders.

The remaining eight major sects mobilized Golden Core Cultivators, with numbers ranging from one to three.

The main force consisted of eighteen Golden Core major sects, with some having three Golden Core Cultivators, while others, like Meng Quan Cave, had as many as ten Golden Core Cultivators.

In total, there were over a hundred powerful Golden Core Cultivators!

If you also count the million cultivators and nearly ten thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it would be enough to sweep through the Howling Moon Mountain Range!

"If I want to compete for a third-stage Spirit Land, my main enemy is not demons, but human cultivators."

"There are too many cultivators and not enough resources!"

Luo Chen muttered as he returned to the temporary residence of the Luo Tian Sect.

In the Immortal City, there were temporary stone houses built in rows.

"I'll handle the handover of the eighth shop tomorrow."

Before entering the house, Luo Chen gave an instruction.

Xu Huanzhen immediately agreed.

Then Luo Chen turned to Wang Yuan, "Don't go out to find opponents for now. If you really need practice, I'll spar with you."

Wang Yuan nodded.

He had just acquired the Divine Gale True Evil, and wanted to study it, so he wouldn't be going out anyway.

Finally, Luo Chen's gaze fell on Chu Kui.

It had been forty years since his last failed Core Formation attempt.

He had regained the realm he had lost and was now at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

However, even though Luo Chen had Wang Yuan teach him the Micro Dust Yuan Technique, Chu Kui didn't rush to break through to the Golden Core stage after starting his cultivation.

The experience of failure had left him with a significant psychological shadow.

As long as there was still residue in his Qi Sea, he wouldn't dare to attempt Core Formation again.

Now, Chu Kui looked worn out, his youthful vigor gone, and he became more silent and taciturn.

Luo Chen patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, Fu Jiu Sheng told me that there will be a gathering of Golden Core stage cultivators in Moonbreaker Immortal City in three days. I'll see if I can find a method to cleanse your abnormal spiritual power."

Chu Kui nodded heavily, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his lifeless eyes.

He hoped to find a solution!

...

In a crudely styled cultivation room, Luo Chen sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy and pouted.

It was a superior second-stage level.

The Luoyun Sect was quite generous, having opened many second-rank cave mansions in the Immortal City.

However, the effect wasn't significant for him.

"Cultivation still depends on myself!"

Luo Chen muttered, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand as spiritual light flashed on his storage ring.

He casually poured out a pill that was crystal clear like glass and radiant like a star.

It was the Starlight Pill, a third-stage cultivation-type pill! The very same pill formula that Fu Jiu Sheng had given him during the Core Formation ceremony.

He had obtained it half a year ago.

Before going to Green Pill Valley, he had pondered over it for a long time, and in the following months, he finally found a way.

After experiencing hundreds of failures,

Luo Chen, without relying on the system, naturally entered the realm.

It was for this reason that he didn't choose the Flame Alliance True Flame Pill he had recently acquired but instead refined the Starlight Pill.

On his journey here,

He stayed inside the Crimson Dragon Vessel, neither going out nor opening the doors, researching the basics of forging and wholeheartedly refining the Starlight Pill.

Now, his proficiency had stabilized at the Skilled level, with a success rate of twenty percent.

Out of ten sets of materials, he could successfully refine twice, producing ten pills each time.

"The True Flame Pill only enhances fire-attributed spiritual energy, while the Starlight Pill provides the five elements' spiritual energy."

"I'm currently cultivating the Flame Wood True Art, which requires absorbing both fire and wood-attributed spiritual energy. Compared to the True Flame Pill, even though it has stronger medicinal power, the Starlight Pill is more suitable for me."

"Fu Jiu Sheng has really helped me a lot."

With a slight smile, Luo Chen swallowed the low-grade Starlight Pill.

Instantly, a vast yet gentle medicinal power spread throughout his body.

Then, Luo Chen circulated his Life-Bound Technique, refining the spiritual energy contained in the pill.

His cultivation progress was increasing at an extremely slow but unstoppable rate.
