Stronger from Earth
Chapter 210 - 209: Omen
In the chaotic space, Chaos Qi flowed endlessly, resembling the scene before the heavens were opened. Nothing existed, yet everything seemed possible to be nurtured.
A fragment of a Golden Core, the size of a grain of rice, still lingered, floating in the chaos, absorbing Chaos Qi, like a seed.
The seed absorbed power and gradually grew, silently taking root and sprouting, a touch of green emerging, swaying and growing.
A Cyan Lotus appeared just like that from the chaos.
It was full of vitality, its roots absorbing the airflow in the chaos, and with enough nourishment, the Cyan Lotus began to bloom bit by bit.
Within the Cyan Lotus was a lotus seed, astonishingly unique with only one seed, entirely dark green with a tinge of gold, at the core of the Cyan Lotus.
The lotus seed absorbed energy and grew, the aura it emitted far surpassing the previous Golden Core. Strand upon strand of Chaos Qi was absorbed, and eventually, the entire chaos vanished, with everything converging upon this lotus seed.
The Cyan Lotus seed floated in the Dantian, beneath which was a Lotus Platform, radiating infinite vitality.
Endless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged over Wang Xuan's head, and he used an accelerator to replenish his internal consumption. Before long, Chaos Qi began to emerge in his Dantian again.
One by one, Cyan Lotuses of chaos bloomed, but no other phenomena occurred. Wang Xuan could sense that these newly appeared Cyan Lotuses were merely manifestations of thin energy.
And the derived chaos, it was formed by the Primordial Power of the Mixed Element Martial Scripture, not true chaos.
"Is this the phenomenon when I stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm and formed a Golden Core?" Wang Xuan was immensely curious, as his phenomenon was truly unique.
Other Immortal Martial Mountain disciples gathered True Yuan to form a Golden Core, with the dissipated Pill Qi deriving thin Chaos Qi, resulting in at most a few Cyan Lotus phenomena, and the Golden Core would not explode before reforming.
First, there is the Golden Core, then the phenomenon, and such phenomena are long-lasting.
But his already formed Golden Core exploded, resembling a grand explosion of chaos, with a Cyan Lotus growing within the chaos, transforming into a Cyan Lotus Seed. His perfectly good Golden Core inexplicably became a lotus seed.
A lotus in the chaos.
His phenomenon was truly grand, not only being the second metamorphosis of the Primordial Core but also the endless Cyan Lotuses floating in the Dantian.
All these indicated that his Golden Core was unique.
Looking at the phenomenon within his Dantian, with a thought, the Cyan Lotus floating in the chaos rapidly produced a lotus seed, which fell from the Dantian into Wang Xuan's hand.
With a casual flick, this tiny lotus seed flew out several miles, landing and exploding, blasting a crater a hundred meters wide into the ground.
And the phenomenon in his Dantian, with Cyan Lotuses numbered in the thousands, if wielded in such a way, how many could it blow up to death?
"I've heard there are special scrolls on the Golden Core; why doesn't mine have one?" Wang Xuan looked at his Cyan Lotus Seed-shaped Golden Core, feeling puzzled, "Could my scroll be just this single lotus seed?"
His advancement to Earth Immortal was something to celebrate for He Fang's apprentices, with a few senior brothers and sisters sending congratulatory gifts.
Looking at Wang Xuan, they all felt his aura was a bit strange.
"Qi, did you really just step into the Earth Immortal Realm? Why do I feel you are not like those in the Sky Realm, but like the Divinity Transformation of the Second Realm of the Earth Immortal?"
Zhou Wu was puzzled; he even felt Wang Xuan was a bit eager to spar with him.
Chen Qingniu was speechless; an advanced Earth Immortal Wang Xuan didn't even mention sparring with him but instead focused his eyes on Zhou Wu.
Does this mean Wang Xuan thinks he is no longer a match for him?
"This cannot be tolerated!" Chen Qingniu ground his teeth; Wang Xuan was really demoralizing.
Wasn't he the senior brother? Becoming a disciple earlier than him, yet now he was not as good as Wang Xuan, the junior brother.
Wang Xuan said, "I don't know either." He just felt that his Golden Core was somewhat special.
"Xiaowu, have a match with Wang Xuan, gauge his strength." He Fang said. The Dantian of Wang Xuan was a mystery, unseen by outsiders, but it was apparent it was formed with the Mixed Element Martial Scripture.
Zhou Wu waved his hand, "Master, forget it; if I lose, it would be disgraceful, better let Qingniu try."
His words were a jest; his confidence was strong, after all, he was not far from the Third Realm of the Earth Immortal, the Dharma Body Realm.
"Not trying." Chen Qingniu huffed, "Wang Xuan dared to arm-wrestle me in the Vajra Realm; at the Earth Immortal level, with such a strong aura at the Sky Realm, the result is evident."
If a fight broke out, he would certainly be suppressed by Wang Xuan, getting thoroughly beaten in front of so many people, very humiliating.
"How big is your Primordial Core?" Senior Brother Wu Zhutian asked.
Wang Xuan estimated, comparing it to his fist, "About this big." This was the size of his Cyan Lotus Pill.
His Golden Core truly had little gold, being entirely cyan-green, full of vitality, yet somehow couldn't be called a Golden Core.
Many Earth Immortals were the same; hence the Golden Core was also called the Primordial Core, but the First Realm of Earth Immortal was called the Sky Realm, not the Primordial Core Realm, which confused many.
Because in the Second and Third Realm of Earth Immortal, the Primordial Core kept metamorphosing and was always present; therefore calling it the Golden Core Realm was inaccurate.
What Wang Xuan did not mention was that his previous Golden Core was nearly the size of an adult's head, terrifyingly large. During his promotion, he "accidentally" used an accelerator, the excessive True Yuan provided resulted in such a large core.
And through the second metamorphosis, the Golden Core exploded like chaos, giving birth to a Cyan Lotus, and his Primordial Core transformed into a Cyan Lotus Seed, greatly reducing in size.
"Still considered normal." He Fang nodded.
"Bigger than mine was when I first entered the Earth Immortal Realm." Zhou Wu said.
These brothers were truly envious of Wang Xuan, whose cultivation progressed so quickly with apparent ease, reaching the Earth Immortal Realm effortlessly.
And besides his rapid cultivation, Wang Xuan was also a genius in the Alchemy Dao.
Such differences truly left one speechless.
Wang Xuan's combat power was a mystery; clearly, he'd just entered the Earth Immortal level, yet his aura surpassed even Chen Qingniu's, truly peculiar.
Wang Xuan was puzzled too; the phenomenon during his Condensing of the Primordial Core was unheard of, genuinely unique.
After a brief celebration, the master and apprentices gathered, then went about their respective tasks.
He Fang called Wang Xuan aside and said, "Lin Cheng's cultivation talent is indeed not high, but I can send her to the Profound Lady Sect.
This sect is filled with female cultivators, and the Sect Master is a Void Powerhouse. If Lin Cheng meditatively cultivates for a hundred years, she has the potential to become a Celestial Immortal."
Wang Xuan guessed Master He Fang likely had a fond relation in the Profound Lady Sect, and Lin Cheng entering this Mountain Gate would mean she became the disciple of Master's confidante.
Perhaps due to this relationship, He Fang would speak up, having enough confidence.
"I want to ask Lin Cheng what she thinks; I cannot decide for her." Wang Xuan said.
After inquiring Lin Cheng, she pondered, finally shaking her head, "You know my nature well; secluding for a hundred years in a Mountain Gate is not my wish. I prefer staying in a laboratory conducting research." ππ£πππ°πππ§πΌπππ.π°π¨π¦
She does not reject higher cultivation, would even spend substantial effort on self-cultivation, but wouldn't dedicate even ninety percent of her time to cultivation.
"I actually know where my talent stands; no matter how hard I try, I'll only circle around the Earth Immortal level." Lin Cheng sighed, "I will continue researching how to enhance one's roots, to improve cultivation talent. Should there be a breakthrough, it would benefit humanity, also solving my problem."
Wang Xuan nodded; Lin Cheng liked research, which he fully supported. Having personal hobbies and willing fields of research is beneficial.
The most dangerous state for a person is having nothing to do; it easily leads to problems.
"Fine then." Wang Xuan said, "I will take care of the cultivation part."
Having Lin Cheng enter the Profound Lady Sect for a hundred years to become a Celestial Immortal, while in a hundred years, he could already have become a True Immortal, thus transitioning Lin Cheng into the Celestial Immortal Realm would be a breeze.
He Fang did not insist but passed on a Cultivation Technique suitable for female cultivators, capable of reaching the True Immortal Realm, significantly better than Lin Cheng's familial technique.
"I'll be heading out for a journey; first, I'll take you back to Yuzhang." Wang Xuan said as he shared a close moment with Lin Cheng.
The Lantern Festival soon passed by, and quickly it was time for the third generation disciples of Immortal Martial Mountain to head to the Hell Realm. Wang Xuan, along with Chen Qingniu, Zhou Wu, and others, left Immortal Martial Mountain together.
