Chapter 303 Two Years of Cultivation
Lin Yan entered the quiet room in the courtyard, sat down cross-legged, and carefully placed the jade slip containing the Golden Core chapter of the "Qiankun Creation Technique" on his forehead. As the information flowed into his sea of consciousness, the expression on his face gradually changed from focus to astonishment. Finally, an uncontrollable smile, a mixture of ecstasy and realization, bloomed on his lips. The curve of that smile was truly harder to flatten than the sights of an AK.
"How could this be...!" he muttered to himself, with a sense of incredible luck.
It turns out that by condensing the nine-colored golden core using the eight fundamental concepts, he unknowingly and inadvertently fulfilled the most demanding and crucial prerequisite of the Golden Core cultivation method! The cultivation method clearly states that after reaching the Golden Core stage, cultivators no longer need to expend a great deal of mental energy to precisely proportion and painstakingly fuse different attributes of spiritual energy to synthesize the core essence, as they did during the Foundation Establishment stage. Instead, within the Golden Core realm, one must comprehend at least one concept of power, and then separate the eight elemental powers within the core essence and fuse them to condense a "Chaotic Seed."
Once this seed takes shape, any spiritual energy absorbed from heaven and earth, regardless of its attribute, can be directly transformed into a higher-level "Chaotic Core Essence." Although the higher energy level requires a greater total amount of spiritual energy for transformation, resulting in a slightly slower cultivation speed compared to ordinary Golden Core cultivators who focus on one or two elements, it completely eliminates the need for attribute harmonization. Furthermore, the Chaotic Core Essence is far more effective than ordinary Core Essence, whether used to nourish the physical body, strengthen the soul, or activate spells.
However, the method of condensing the Chaos Seed is the most difficult hurdle to overcome in the Golden Core chapter. Simply comprehending its essence is extremely difficult, requiring mastery of the interrelationships of elements, as well as the precise extraction and balancing of the core essence. The slightest mistake can lead to complete failure and even damage to the Golden Core. But for Lin Yan, this was almost no problem!
When he was undergoing the life-or-death Golden Core Tribulation, in order to resist the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, he had already forcibly tried to integrate the eight realms at the critical moment of life and death. Although it was crude, it accumulated the most valuable practical experience and touched the edge of that door.
"What a stroke of luck!" Lin Yan felt delighted and no longer hesitated.
He focused his inner vision, his divine sense sinking into his dantian. He decided to skip the step of extracting the dantian essence and directly fuse the eight major concepts into a seed. He carefully guided the eight dragon-shaped Dao traces that surrounded the nine-colored golden elixir, one end to the other. Under his guidance, the eight small dragons seemed to come alive, each opening its mouth and slowly spitting out a drop of essence, about the size of a water droplet, condensed with the power of its own concept's origin.
Eight drops of essence floated above the golden elixir, shimmering with light and radiating astonishing energy fluctuations.
Lin Yan held his breath and focused his mind, using his powerful divine sense as a brush and drawing the eight drops of essence as ink, he began to outline intricate runes in the void.
After the runes were formed, he used his divine sense to construct a miniature array plate according to the array diagram in the cultivation technique. The array patterns intertwined, subtly conforming to the principles of the celestial sphere and the five elements' mutual generation and restraint. He carefully embedded the five runes representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth into the five main nodes on the outer perimeter of the array plate, following the rules of mutual generation and restraint. Subsequently, he placed the runes representing the three minor elements of ice, wind, and thunder in the core triangular area inside the array plate.
"melt!"
With a flick of his divine sense, the entire miniature rune array suddenly lit up and began to slowly rotate. At first, the eight colors of light could still be distinguished, but as the rotation speed increased, the colors began to merge and permeate, eventually turning into a chaotic color that could no longer be distinguished from one another.
After an unknown amount of time, the rotation slowly came to a stop. The talisman array and the eight drops of essence in the center had disappeared, replaced by a small bead the size of a grain of rice, with a chaotic color throughout and a surface that seemed to have endlessly flowing clouds. It floated quietly above the golden core, connected to the energy of the nine-colored, eight-dragon golden core below, reflecting and complementing each other.
The seed of chaos is complete!
Lin Yan suppressed his excitement, took out a top-grade spirit stone and held it in his hand, and began to circulate his cultivation technique according to the new path of the Golden Core chapter.
As expected! The moment the spiritual energy was absorbed into the body, before it even began to circulate through the meridians, the Chaos Seed trembled slightly and began to slowly rotate clockwise. The surging spiritual energy, as if drawn by an invisible force, was directly absorbed into the seed. The next moment, it transformed into an incomparably pure wisp of elixir essence, containing a faint aura of chaos, flowing into the golden core. The efficiency and smoothness of the process were far beyond anything seen before!
His mind raced again, and he attempted to cast a simple Wind Control Technique. The moment the thought arose, the Chaos Seed reversed, and a stream of pure Chaos Essence was instantly extracted from the Golden Core. The technique was completed almost in an instant, more than twice as fast as when he was desperately fighting during the Heavenly Tribulation!
"Good! Hahaha!" Lin Yan finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. The profoundness of the Golden Core chapter of the "Heaven and Earth Creation Technique" far exceeded his expectations. With this reliance, what did it matter if he was a little slower? This Chaos Core Essence and the speed of casting spells in an instant were enough to make him invincible among those of the same level!
December 1965, 12
The space inside the bedroom rippled slightly, and Lin Yan's figure appeared quietly, holding the snow-white Xiao Qi in his arms.
He pushed open the door and walked down the stairs. Charles was meticulously wiping the antique clock in the living room when he heard footsteps. He turned around habitually, and a genuine joy immediately appeared on his face.
"Young Master, you've emerged from seclusion." He walked to the tea cabinet, brewed a pot of his favorite spiritual tea for Lin Yan, and gently placed it on the tea table.
"Mm," Lin Yan responded, sat down on the sofa, and put Xiao Qi down from his arms.
As soon as the little guy landed, it curiously looked around, then took light steps and circled Charles twice, affectionately rubbing its fluffy little head against the old butler's crisp trouser leg, making soft and comfortable purring sounds in its throat.
Charles's wrinkles smoothed out, revealing a kind smile. He bowed slightly in response to the little mythical beast's greeting.
Lin Yan picked up his teacup. He had been cultivating tirelessly in the Qiankun Realm for twenty years, not only stabilizing his Golden Core Level 1 realm, but also advancing the "Divine Demon Visualization Technique" to the first level of the third stage.
At this moment, the strength and coverage of his divine sense surged dramatically. With a thought, everything within a radius of five hundred miles could be seen as clearly as the lines on his palm. More importantly, after entering the third stage, he could begin to differentiate his divine sense, enabling him to multitask and handle two completely different things simultaneously, such as deducing cultivation techniques while manipulating magical artifacts. As his cultivation deepens in the future, he might even be able to multitask three or four times... This would be invaluable for handling complex matters simultaneously, engaging in ever-changing battles, or performing intricate alchemy and artifact crafting.
