95: First-grade true elixir and the magical power of heaven and earth

This phenomenon immediately startled the entire island.

"This momentum... which of the Yuanlian Seven has broken through to True Core again?"

"So terrifying!

It is said that the deeper the foundation, the greater the momentum of breaking through to True Core, and the higher the grade of the True Core.

I wonder what grade of True Core can be condensed..."

"To think that my Yuanlian Island, in a single day, would give birth to two True Core Ancestors..."

All the Cultivators stared at the sky, dumbfounded.

Li Family Ancestral Hall.

Li Changhe's eyes were wide, veins bulging, as he looked up at the sky, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"How is this possible?

That girl achieving True Core before me is one thing.

This momentum, the condensed True Core must be at least of the top three grades.

Who exactly is it?"

Before the Immortal Cave.

Su Kexing's red lips were slightly agape, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She was confident in her profound foundation.

Once her True Core was condensed, it was already ranked seventh grade.

Which was considered quite good.

But compared to the person breaking through in the sky, the difference was more than a hundred thousand miles.

"Teacher... who exactly is this person?

To break through to True Core on my Yuanlian Island."

Su Kexing couldn't help but ask.

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "An old friend... silent for years, but astounding when he acts.

Dormant for decades, all for this very moment."

After speaking, Gu Changsheng's feet glowed with a Escape Light, and he vanished from the spot.

Leaving Su Kexing alone.

She looked towards the horizon, her eyes complex, muttering, "Dormant for decades... this person truly possesses great perseverance and a grand ambition."

She couldn't help but make a comparison in her heart; the slight arrogance that had arisen after her own Breakthrough to True Core immediately vanished.

Caw—

A fierce bird's cry suddenly echoed from the Void Realm.

The terrifying sound waves, like a massive bell, vibrated the Void Realm.

The Five Elements Formation trembled incessantly, as if it would shatter in the next second.

Gu Changsheng quickly formed hand seals, controlling the Formation, and the Five Elements Formation immediately shifted, dissipating most of the force.

A brilliant Demon Core floated in the Void Realm.

First grade!

"It's actually a first-grade True Core..."

Gu Changsheng's face twitched.

He had painstakingly collected top-grade Evil Qi, and even now his True Core was only second grade.

This was the difference in Innate Bloodline.

"Rise!"

With a command, the entire island rose with a cerulean mist, obscuring the Breakthrough phenomenon.

"Although it's our own territory, the fewer people who know about Kunpeng's existence, the better..."

Gu Changsheng stood proudly in the Void Realm.

Before him, light and shadow flickered, revealing a magnificent fierce bird over a hundred zhang in size.

Its eyes were sharp, and every feather seemed cast from fine iron.

A pair of adamantine claws were terrifyingly ferocious.

With one claw, even a Magic Treasure would be pulverized.

Flapping its wings, a casual beat would cause dense winds to surge around it.

"They all say Kunpeng soars ninety thousand li, naturally a darling of the wind element, and it's truly not false."

Gu Changsheng exclaimed.

"Main body..."

Upon seeing Gu Changsheng, Kunpeng spoke human words.

"Oh, so you've already refined the horizontal bone in your mouth and can speak human language.

It's just a pity you're still far from transforming into human form."

Gu Changsheng was slightly surprised, then chuckled, "That's right, true spirits of Innate exotic species have difficulty transforming into human form."

"Alright, besides your wind element talent, what other Bloodline secret techniques do you possess?"

"Main body, please see."

Black Qi rose from Kunpeng's body, and its size rapidly shrunk.

In a breath's time, it shrank from several hundred zhang to the size of a palm.

Without a closer look, one might mistake it for an ordinary sparrow.

"Size as one wishes... could it be the Divine Ability of Heaven and Earth Manifestation?"

Gu Changsheng was startled.

Heaven and Earth Manifestation, commonly known, allows one's body to transform into ten thousand zhang in a fit of rage, capable of moving mountains and destroying seas.

But few knew that being able to be large or small, size as one wishes, was the greatest characteristic of this Divine Ability.

"Indeed... this is a natural Divine Ability of the Kunpeng Bloodline."

Gu Changsheng was truly somewhat envious.

He had coveted this Divine Ability for a long time, and even he had no way to cultivate it.

Back then, if he had hatched this egg and first painted a portrait, he might have obtained this Divine Ability secret technique.

'No... the Kunpeng egg is a Demon Sage's legacy, who knows how many methods of the Kun Peng Demon Sage are hidden within.

After hatching, the risks might not be small.'

After some thought, Gu Changsheng whispered, "Excellent.

Now that you've broken through to True Core, you can accompany the Yuan Ci Avatar to Great Jin to search for Profound Cave Opportunities for me."

As he spoke, a figure appeared behind Gu Changsheng.

Its face was identical to Gu Changsheng's, except for an extra mountain-shaped secret pattern between its eyebrows.

"No problem, no problem.

After all these years, being submerged in the water has become utterly boring."

Caw—

The Kunpeng Incarnation let out a long cry and landed on the Yuan Ci Avatar's shoulder.

Their figures flickered, and the two vanished.

This phenomenon came quickly and departed even faster.

However, it left an indelible memory in the hearts of all beings on Yuanlian Island.

A year later.

The phenomenon of core condensation rose again in the Void Realm.

It was Li Changhe.

A few days later, in the Immortal Cave.

"Both of you have broken through to True Core, truly congratulations."

Gu Changsheng said with a smile from the Yuan Lian lotus seat.

"Thanks to Teacher's guidance."

"This Disciple's fortunate Breakthrough to True Core is ninety percent due to Teacher's efforts."

Li Changhe and Su Kexing respectfully said.

"Haha."

Gu Changsheng smiled slightly, then changed the subject: "Now that both of you have broken through to True Core, you enjoy a Lifespan of five hundred years and can be considered an Old Ancestor in the outside world.

However, you are still quite young.

Compared to other True Core Old Monsters, besides combat experience, you also lack suitable Magic Treasures and Divine Ability secret techniques.

I have already decided.

I will open my treasured vault to both of you."

As he spoke, he cast a spell, and a cerulean light and shadow appeared in the Void Realm.

Upon it were recorded various secret techniques and Magic Treasures.

"Divine Ability: Five Elements Heaven Evasion Divine Light!"

"Divine Ability: Great Sky Dark Night Divine Shield!"

..."Magic Treasure: Jialan Holy Ancestor Sword!"

"Magic Treasure: Profound Yuan Spirit Light Boat!"

...The two were astonished and dumbfounded.

Every Divine Ability, technique, and Magic Treasure made their hearts stir.

Gu Changsheng looked at their expressions and smiled faintly.

Over the years, the resources and techniques he had collected were immense.

What he opened to them was only a small portion of what he possessed.

"Both of you may go out into the world.

Either occupy territory and gather resources.

Or slay Yin Ghosts and obtain Ghost Cultivator Yin Cores.

Everything can be converted into contribution points, which can then be used to exchange for secret techniques and Magic Treasures from the vault."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances.

They understood each other implicitly.

Currently, among the Yuanlian Seven, they were the only two who had broken through to True Core.

In the future, it would be hard to say.

At that time, the competition would surely be exceptionally fierce.

"This Disciple will surely do his best to uphold the prestige of my Yuanlian Island."

"Good! Very good!"

Within a few days, two streaks of light departed from Yuanlian Island.

One to the south, one to the north, flying in completely different directions.

Wuwei Temple.

This was a small force in Taizhou territory.

Within its School, there was only one Cultivator at the Peak of the Foundation Building Realm.

On this day, a masked blood shadow descended with a roar, killing the temple master with a single palm strike, terrifying everyone.

"This Venerable is the Blood Demon Old Ancestor.

From today onwards, Wuwei Temple shall be this Venerable's domain.

All of you shall be this Venerable's blood slaves!

Disobey, and die!"

Li Changhe was clad in a blood-red robe, his face obscured by a bloody light, making his features indistinct.

A blood-red True Core floated above his head, its terrifying pressure making the people of Wuwei Temple gasp for breath.

He quietly approached step by step.

Anyone with even a hint of disgust on their face had their bodies explode, turning into blood mist that he absorbed.

'Slowly gathering resources is nothing compared to occupying a territory and directly plundering the School's accumulated wealth... The top School of Taizhou, Haoran Sect, has been destroyed.

Next, I will gradually integrate all small Schools and establish the Blood Demon Sect, taking control of Taizhou.'

On the other side, Su Kexing landed on a mountain in Chong Prefecture.

Here, Yin Ghosts ran rampant, yet there were still a few Mortals and Cultivators stationed.

Their purpose was to hunt Yin Ghosts and seize resources.

"Next, I will hunt three True Core Ghost Cultivators to exchange for that ghost-eating secret technique..."

On Yuanlian Island.

Gu Changsheng looked at the techniques exchanged from the treasured vault, his eyes full of amusement.

"Ghost Devouring Art is a prerequisite secret technique for the Soul Devouring Incarnation... It seems that girl wants to go all the way in Body Refining.

However, this Li Changhe is quite interesting.

He actually paid an immense amount of Family resources to exchange for the Blood Demon Great Technique."

Gu Changsheng couldn't remember where he had obtained the Blood Demon Great Technique.

He only remembered that it was a powerful cultivation method with extremely fast progress.
