Chapter 459: Chapter 240: Star River Monarch, Mid-stage Golden Core_3

Half an hour later, Han Yi left Xuandan Peak and returned to Vermilion Bird Peak, descending into the tallest tower in the Vermilion Bird Palace, sitting in meditation.

However.

Until the depth of night, his mind was still restless, so he simply took out his Pill Furnace and began alchemy. The process of alchemy is one of concentration that allows him to immerse himself in it and clear his mind of distractions.

By the second day, Han Yi finally calmed his heart and began to practice.

This time, he focused entirely on advancing in his cultivation. Within the tower, was the core of the fourth-stage Spirit Vein, the richness of the Spirit Energy was more than enough for a Gold Core cultivator to use. In just one month, Han Yi felt that the Golden Core within his Spirit Sea was completely saturated and only one step remained for it to transform.

Han Yi took the pills he had prepared, especially the pills used to exorcise evil spirits, and swallowed them. This time, although the pills to exorcise evil spirits were still flawless in quality, there were as many as forty of them. These were pills Han Yi had brewed himself.

His Alchemy Skill had broken through to the “Peak Mastery” level, so he was capable of creating flawless quality pills. Such pills were more than enough for the breakthrough in the Middle Golden Core Stage. As for breaking through to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it would require perfect quality pills to exorcise evil spirits.

With everything prepared, Han Yi set up a formation, took out many high-grade Spirit Stones, placed them in a solitude chamber, then activated his skills, and continued to advance.

Two days later.

The Golden Core floating within his Spirit Sea started to produce a sort of sucking force on its surface. The semi-crystalline energy that had already accumulated halfway at the bottom of the Spirit Sea was influenced by this suction and began to gradually break away from the bottom of the Spirit Sea, being pulled upwards toward the Golden Core.

From a distance, the Golden Core seemed like a black hole, drawing the semi-crystalline energy from the bottom upwards, forming a pyramid shape. The top of the pyramid was the Golden Core, the sides were curved, and the base was constantly converging semi-crystalline energy.

The Golden Core, which was being sucked into the upper space of the Spirit Sea and into which energy continued to converge, did not change in size. However, its color became a purer shade of gold and the aura it radiated became more intense.

At a certain moment.

Rumble!

The suction force suddenly disappeared, and the semi-crystalline energy that ‘climbed’ up suddenly plummeted back down to the bottom of Spirit Sea.

Next.

The hovering Golden Core, which was emitting a more substantial aura, suddenly moved upward. With this movement, the space of Spirit Sea expanded upward, bringing him one step closer to the fusion of Spirit Sea and the Sea of Consciousness.

At the same time.

Han Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly perceived a space crack being opened next to him, as if a zipper had been drawn down.

A Heavenly Demon was coming.

Han Yi’s heart was stern, although he took twice the usual amount of pills to ward off evil spirits, he was naturally wary of the strange foreign entities like Heavenly Demons. Even being too careful was not excessive.

What made Han Yi dumbfounded was that the opened space crack only had a gloomy atmosphere, but no Heavenly Demon was in the vicinity. It took ten breaths of time for the space crack to close again under the rules of the Immortal Path in the Yu Heng World.

Han Yi was shaken.

He remembered the last time he broke through to the Golden Core, the prepared pills to ward off evil spirits also had no effect. Last time, at least a small Heavenly Demon had come, but this time, even a small Heavenly Demon didn’t appear.

Something must have happened out there, Han Yi was sure of it.

However.

Information regarding the Heavenly Demons is something only known to at least the Nascent Soul stage, or even Spirit Transformation stage cultivators. Although Han Yi was curious, he didn’t dwell on it.

The most important process in advancing from the Early-stage Golden Core to the Middle-stage Golden Core is having sufficient energy, then crossing the Heavenly Demon Calamity, and finally, consolidating the realm.

Essentially, Han Yi was already at the Middle-stage Golden Core, but he still needed to consolidate his Realm.

This breakthrough process was a transformation of the Golden Core, which consumed the massive amount of semi-crystalline energy stored at the bottom of the Spirit Sea. Therefore, the process of consolidation naturally involved replenishing this consumed energy.

Han Yi activated his skills, and the Spirit Vein at the base of the Vermilion Bird Peak was wildly extracted, converging into the tower at the top, and then was absorbed into his body.

It was not enough, far from enough.

At this moment, Han Yi’s body was like a bottomless pit. Even the rich spirit energy of the main node of the fourth-stage Spirit Vein couldn’t keep up with his absorption rate.

He lightly snapped his fingers, and a large pile of high-grade Spirit Stones at his side suddenly shattered. The Spirit Energy dispersed and filled the area, doubling the concentration of Spirit Energy in the chamber, barely catching up with Han Yi’s absorption.

Days and nights pass.

Half a month later.

In the depths of the Vermilion Bird Palace, within the highest tower, Han Yi opened his eyes, which were full of radiance. His aura was completely renewed. An aura, about three times stronger than that of the early Golden Core stage, emitted from his body in a mild and silent manner. His consciousness spread in all directions.

Zhuge Wu You, who was stationed at Xuandan Peak, Si Hongxue at Black Tortoise Peak, Shen Ping at Azure Dragon Peak, and Lian Tingxi at White Tiger Peak, suddenly opened their eyes. In their eyes, a series of surprises flashed by.

This divine consciousness that was full of vigor and vitality let them know that Han Yi had broken through to the Middle-stage Golden Core.

Hence.

The sect now had three Middle-stage Golden Core cultivators, Si Hongxue, Huo Ming, and Han Yi. Coupled with Han Yi’s already astonishing combat power, this breakthrough made them even more expectant.

The news of Han Yi’s breakthrough to the Middle-stage Golden Core was not widely known except for these Supreme Elders. It was best to keep it as a secret weapon.

He did not immediately leave the seclusion but began practicing Sword Control Skill.

The Ninefold Soul Tower broke through to “Breaking through the mortal and entering the holy”, forming the fourth layer, and obtained the fourth Soul Skill, the Soul Reaping. In terms of Spiritual Soul accomplishment, Han Yi did not fear the Golden Core Peak cultivators at all.

However, in terms of cultivation, he was still two small stages away from the Golden Core Peak. Using skills to compensate, at present, was still somewhat insufficient.

Next, if the Sword Control Skill can break through, his combat power would surely soar again, and this would give the sect more security. Even when facing Golden Core Peak cultivators, he would no longer be defenseless.

Moreover.

After watching his Soul Shadow, Han Yi had always had a sense of crisis in his heart, a crisis involving the Fragrance Sect causing trouble.

He hopes his strength could become stronger to cope with the possible crises that may happen next.

However.

Things don’t always go as planned.

Just half a month later, Han Yi’s sense of crisis became a reality.

The demonic lair, erupted.

Moreover, this time, the eruption of the demonic lair was not in some remote regions, but in…

Shu Du..
