220: Preparations before the breakthrough

He directly controlled the earth fetal membrane to cover his body, forming a protective shield.

In this way, a massive amount of earth Qi flowed through his feet and surged into the earth fetal membrane.

This formed a cycle.

He no longer needed to worry about his protective shield.

The earth fetal membrane directly insulated him from the heat outside.

As he went deeper, the surface of the earth fetal membrane began to ripple slightly.

It seemed the heat here was becoming increasingly intense.

Gu Changan arrived at the bottom and saw several medium-sized platforms above the magma.

One of them was in the innermost corner; this platform could only be considered medium-sized.

It was probably a few dozen zhang in size!

This meant that if others came in from the passageway, their line of sight would be obstructed.

They wouldn't discover him right away!

Gu Changan stepped onto his Flying Sword and landed on the platform.

Looking at the platform, which was a few dozen zhang in size, Gu Changan was lost in thought.

He then controlled the earth fetal membrane on the surface of his body to slowly expand.

Until it enveloped the entire platform, causing the earth fetal membrane to form a protective barrier.

It encased the entire platform within.

From the ground beneath his feet, a constant stream of earth Qi poured into the barrier of the earth fetal membrane.

Gu Changan had directly created a platform suitable for Cultivation.

This isolated him from the scorching air brought about by the vast amount of magma outside.

He was quite satisfied with the barrier he had personally crafted.

With a wave of his hand, a table appeared in the center.

He waved his hand again, and the table was filled with nuts and spiritual fruits he had previously purchased at the black market!

Beside the table was a huge meditation cushion.

Gu Changan sat cross-legged, eating nuts while adjusting his state.

He strove to bring himself to his optimal state!

Feeling that it was about time, Gu Changan took out the jade bottle containing the core formation pill.

He opened the cap and poured out a round Medicinal Pill.

At this moment, his powerful Golden Core Stage Divine Sense covered his entire palm.

He immediately discovered an obscure mark on the pill bottle.

After a brief moment of thought, Gu Changan understood the situation.

The people from the Treasure Pavilion truly deserve to die!

The core formation pill he had obtained firsthand actually had a mark on it!

It seems they don't know how they will die; if there is an opportunity in the future, he must take revenge.

He then placed the pill bottle in a corner of the treasure gathering basin; perhaps it would be useful later.

He then began to observe the Medicinal Pill, finding it to be pink in color and about the size of a quail egg.

Its exterior was shrouded in a faint, light pink flame.

It gave the feeling as if the Medicinal Pill was burning.

But looking closely, the flame slowly dissipated.

Revealing the pill beneath, which had a faint dragon-shaped pattern on it.

It coiled around the entire pill; could this be the effect of the crimson flame dragon marrow fruit?

After finishing his observation, he casually took out the treasure gathering basin.

He then took out an exquisite jade bottle and placed the core formation pill inside.

Then, he directly copied one.

This way, he had the most basic Low Grade core formation pill, making it very convenient for future sales or trades.

He then upgraded the newly copied core formation pill.

A large amount of yellow treasure aura surged into the core formation pill, and it was upgraded successfully in an instant.

Gu Changan poured out the top-grade core formation pill again to observe it.

He found that its shape and appearance had not changed much.

It was just that the medicinal potency felt more refined.

Moreover, the body of the core formation pill seemed to have shrunk by a tiny bit.

Could it be that the part that disappeared was the Impurities?

Gu Changan casually copied 10 top-grade core formation pills.

He didn't know how many core formation pills he would need for his Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage this time.

But he wasn't afraid; he had plenty to spare!

He lined up the 10 top-grade core formation pills on the table for easy access.

Then he took out three stalks of supreme grade transparent soul-locking grass and placed them to the side.

If his Divine Soul became exhausted during the Breakthrough, they could be used to replenish his Soul Power.

Another concern was getting injured; if his Meridians tore, he would also need Medicinal Pills for healing.

He then took out several bottles of top-grade rejuvenation pills and placed them on the table.

Thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, remembering that among his previous Heaven And Earth Treasure were the undying grass and the three light divine water.

He then copied three portions of the undying grass and placed them on the left side of the table.

He also copied ten drops of the three light divine water and placed them beside it.

This way, the items on the left would heal injuries, and the items on the right would restore his Soul energy.

Gu Changan clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Next were his various Magical Artifacts, specifically those that had been spirit-infused.

Gu Changan released them all, letting them play inside the barrier.

Then there was resisting the Heavenly Tribulation; Gu Changan did not know how many bolts of heavenly lightning his Heavenly Tribulation would consist of.

But thinking that he possessed the treasure gathering basin, how could he shortchange himself?

Remembering his Transmigration, the Black Tortoise Shield he had was likely a top-grade magic artifact.

Gu Changan took it out and used the treasure gathering basin to upgrade it, directly upgrading it into a top-grade Magic Treasure.

Although it lacked an artifact spirit, the defensive power of the material of the Magic Treasure-level small shield itself was quite impressive.

If activated with Spiritual Qi, its defensive power would be greatly enhanced.

Gu Changan did not know if the Heavenly Tribulation could pierce through this top-grade Magic Treasure-level Black Tortoise Shield.

He simply used the treasure gathering basin to copy 100 of them.

He piled them up like trash on his right side.

This way, when the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, he could easily pick one up for defense.

Gu Changan looked around and felt that the preparations were almost complete; he then began to introspect and was surprised to discover the eternal soul lamp in his Sea of Consciousness.

It was still quietly resting in his Sea of Consciousness.

Gu Changan slapped his forehead; he had actually forgotten about it during the last spirit infusion.

After taking it out, he activated the Spirit Infusion Heart Sutra to begin the spirit infusion for it.

Once, twice, he continued the infusion 10 times.

During this process, he used the treasure gathering basin to copy 10 stalks of supreme grade transparent soul-locking grass!

Only then was he able to replenish the consumption of his Divine Soul!

After finishing the infusion, Gu Changan looked somewhat exhausted.

It seemed it was not suitable to proceed with the Breakthrough now.

Gu Changan took out the nuts from before to rest and recuperate.

Afterward, he had a good sleep!

Early the next morning, Gu Changan's Divine Soul was full of energy.

At this moment, a bald little monk crawled out from the eternal soul lamp beside him.

This little monk was only about the size of a thumb.

Gu Changan pondered for a moment: "From now on, you shall be called Little Monk!"

The little monk stared at Gu Changan with wide eyes and did not speak.

Gu Changan was certain that he must have understood; perhaps this was just his personality!

After all, the grade of the eternal soul lamp was not low!

The artifact spirit born from it should know a great deal!

Looking at it this way, he seemed quite steady!

Gu Changan felt that the time was right, so he began to Cultivate.

Until not a single drop of spiritual liquid could be squeezed into his Dantian.

Gu Changan picked up the top-grade core formation pill from the table and swallowed it.

He felt a scalding hot tangyuan slide down his esophagus and settle in his stomach.

Suddenly, a massive amount of Spiritual Qi spread out, flooding his entire Meridians and body.

Gu Changan did not dare to delay and hurriedly circulated his authentic Cultivation Technique, the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Art!
