Chapter 551: Chapter 160: First Arrival at Sea Suppression Immortal City!

This scene naturally caught the attention of all the cultivators at Wangchuan Lake.

Including the cultivators from Wangchuan Immortal City,

sensing the changes in spiritual qi outside, they came out to see, staring at the massive spiritual energy vortex!

They saw the spiritual qi within a radius of tens of miles seeming to be drawn to a certain point, starting to gather.

"This is the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon!"

"Someone is forming a core!"

"That’s the direction of Master Wangchuan, could it be one of his disciples?" someone speculated.

...

At the same time, Yuan Pan’er and Xing Huai’an also sensed this wave of spiritual qi and flew over instantly.

"Junior Brother!" Yuan Pan’er was the first to speak, asking somewhat uncertainly.

"Is this... Little Sister Song forming a core?"

Over the past few decades, because they lived quite close, the two had a great relationship, so Yuan Pan’er was also aware of Song Yiqing’s rapidly advancing cultivation.

"That’s right!" Zhou Xun nodded.

There was naturally no need to hide such matters, as everyone was staying at Wangchuan Lake, they would soon find out anyway.

Upon hearing this, Xing Huai’an couldn’t help but be amazed, while also showing a complex expression.

Who would’ve thought that a small maid by Zhou Xun’s side back then would now be on par with him!

Thinking of this brought a wave of bitterness, as these years, True Pill cultivators seemed to have become increasingly undervalued.

On the other side, several of Zhou Xun’s disciples who stayed at Wangchuan Lake also arrived!

"Greetings, Master!"

Wang Shun and Xu Shaoqing respectfully saluted!

Wang Shun now had the appearance of a middle-aged man, with traces of his once elegant demeanor evident. Currently, he was at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment, and with his current age of one hundred and sixteen,

he still had opportunities in the future to strive for Core Formation!

As for Xu Shaoqing, she still looked like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. Her cultivation now had reached the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, just a step away from the ninth layer.

Given her Earth Spirit Root aptitude, and with Zhou Xun’s devoted nurturing, having such cultivation was only natural!

"Stand up!"

Zhou Xun gestured with his hand!

"Watch your Master’s wife forming a core carefully, it will greatly benefit you!"

"Yes!"

The two of them quietly stayed aside, watching on their own.

As for the rest of the disciples and grand-disciples, they weren’t qualified to enter the Wangchuan Lake area, and could only remain in Wangchuan Immortal City.

...

At the lake bottom cultivation room, Song Yiqing sat cross-legged.

At this moment, her entire being was wrapped in dense spiritual qi, forming a sphere.

However, in her dantian, the thick liquid mana nearly filled the whole space, transmitting a sensation that it was almost about to burst.

Song Yiqing knew that this was her liquid mana transforming to its utmost.

"Next, is to condense the liquid into a pill!"

Although the phenomenon was astonishing, Song Yiqing remained extremely relaxed, especially given the assistance of the Red Fire Simurgh.

The pressure she was under was evenly divided with her lifebound demon beast.

Thus, her pressure wasn’t significant,

and the previous processes had all gone very smoothly and steadily.

Song Yiqing’s eyes were sharp as lightning, controlling the vast liquid mana with the guidance of the Red Fire Simurgh, starting to rotate and compress it around the center of her dantian.

At this moment, waves of mana ripples swept across her entire body, shaking her very marrow.

It almost tore her physical body apart.

This is a hurdle that must be overcome when forming a core.

Only a sufficiently strong physical body could withstand it.

Fortunately, Song Yiqing had the help of the Red Fire Simurgh, and a surge of demonic power stabilized her flesh.

The Red Fire Simurgh was a Demon King of the Third Realm, handling this with ease,

under its assistance,

Song Yiqing’s hands continuously formed seals, the liquid mana rotating faster and faster, constantly flashing within her dantian.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was unknown how long had elapsed.

Suddenly—

Whoosh!

All the mana abruptly collapsed inward, finally forming a pale golden pill, with spirit charm flowing upon it!

Half-Step Golden Core!

...

At this moment, the massive spiritual energy vortex outside also gradually dissipated.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, Yiqing has successfully formed a core!" Yuan Pan’er expressed her envy!

Zhou Xun slightly nodded, not surprised by this.

The success of forming a core didn’t surprise him; at this moment, the only thing he worried about was the quality of the inner core that Song Yiqing formed!

"She should at least be on par with a Celestial Spirit Root, hopefully condensing a high-grade True Pill!"

Zhou Xun believed that with his support in the future, Song Yiqing might have the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul Stage if she formed a high-grade True Pill.

Another day passed, and Song Yiqing’s cultivation was completely stabilized, then she emerged from the cultivation room.

Now, she was exuding unmistakable Core Formation Realm mana!

"Yiqing, congratulations!" Zhou Xun congratulated with a smile,

"Thank you, husband!"

Everyone else also offered their congratulations, after which they held a banquet at Jingxin Pavilion, discussing profound truths and gaining much insight!

...

Meanwhile, in the South Abyss Sea,

in an opulent underwater palace.

"Father!"

The Black Island Demon King, now transformed to about ten feet tall, hovered in front of a dignified middle-aged man dressed in a dark embroidered robe with horns on his forehead.

The middle-aged man was the leader of the South Abyss Race, the South Abyss Demon Emperor.

Looking at the Black Island Demon King, who was now utterly complete in aura, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and asked slowly:

"It seems you have truly recovered completely, are you really ready to rush into the Fourth Realm at this time?"

"You must know that our demon race’s transformation thunder tribulation exceeds the human race’s several times, and those who do not succeed only have the path of demise!"

"Your lifespan has not even reached half, there’s no need to be so hasty!"

"Your son has thought it through, this time I must break through, if not successful, then I will go down as a hero. Besides, I am of the South Abyss Royal Family, how could I shrink back!" The Black Island Demon King’s tone was firm.

He constantly remembered the human cultivator he met back in the Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region,

as a formidable demon king of the South Abyss Royal Family, at Tier Three Top-Grade level, he was nearly slain during the encounter,

if not for his father, the Black Island Demon King of today might have already had his body and inner core transformed into resources for that human’s cultivation progress.

How could the proud Black Island Demon King accept this,

over these past decades, he had never forgotten to repay that humiliation.

Sadly, back then, he had already reached the utmost limit of the Third Realm at Tier Three Top-Grade level, unable to enhance his strength further,

to defeat Zhou Xun, he could only break through to the Demon Emperor Realm!

Only by exerting suppression through the realm, can victory be possible!

"Good, worthy of being my son from the Black Abyss!" The middle-aged man clapped in praise!

Then with a wave of his hand, a fist-sized, pale golden fruit flew out and hovered before the South Abyss Demon King.

"This is a Transformation Fruit, which can increase the success rate of transformation by twenty percent, may it aid you!"

"Thank you, father!" The Black Island Demon King put away the spirit fruit, then followed the South Abyss Demon Emperor to their race’s forbidden ground.

The South Abyss Forbidden Land was inscribed with many ancient forbidden techniques, effectively aiding the demon king in breaking through the Fourth Realm!

"Father, I am going in!"

Standing at the entrance of the forbidden land, the Black Island Demon King bid farewell to his father.

This time going in, unless he successfully advances, this farewell would be final!

Watching the gradually disappearing figure of the Black Island Demon King, the middle-aged man’s expression was complex, then he left.

...

Within the South Abyss Forbidden Land,

The Black Island Demon King coiled himself up, and before him, that pale golden Transformation Fruit floated.

As he gazed at this spirit fruit, a trace of fierce determination flickered in his eyes!

"Human Wang Lin, once I ascend to the Fourth Realm, I must personally capture you, perform Soul Extraction, to avenge the humiliation of those years!"

Then he swallowed the Transformation Fruit in one gulp, beginning to prepare for the breakthrough to the Fourth Realm.

...

In the South Sea Cultivation Realm, ever since Zhou Xun left Celestial Talisman Island, he headed eastward, encountering beast tides along the way,

slaying countless demon beasts, ultimately taking half a year to finally reach the vicinity of Sea Suppression Immortal City.
