Chapter 394 – Breaking Through to the Core Formation Realm

Black Wind Cliff was a precipice in the Spring Autumn Sect. Currently, two people stood there: the Spring Autumn Sect Leader and Duan Jingtian.

With his hands clasped behind his back, the sect leader stared into the distance, looking at the sea of clouds ahead.

“You were too reckless this time, Jingtian,” he said, his voice hollow and distant, as if he did not belong to this world.

“Given your talents, you can enter the Divine Nascent realm in a year and a half. At that time, you will take over my position. Then, you would assume my position. The entire sect would be under your command, and the world would bow to you. Who would dare to defy you then?

“However, your impulsive actions today allowed the High Elder to seize the opportunity and injure you severely. I had to discipline you and confine you to Black Wind Cliff for reflection.

“Although I managed to suppress your injuries, you now can’t advance to the next realm in eighteen months. I suspect this was his strategy to stall you, possibly to aid that Chen Fan.

“Less than eighteen months remain in your three-year agreement with him. You could have killed him with a flip of your hand if you were a Divine Nascent realm expert, but now... That’s hard to say. Chen Fan’s talents rival, if not surpass, yours.

“In just a year and a half, he became a peak-level Yuanfu realm expert and took home the championship. After consuming the Extreme Profound Elixir, he’ll advance to the Core Formation realm. His cultivation speed is way too fast.”

Duan Jingtian stood beside him, similarly gazing at the tumbling sea of clouds in the distance, and said, “Sect Leader, I think you’re worrying too much. While I admit that his talents are indeed frightening, he could only come this far because of a moment of my negligence.

“And so what if he enters the Core Formation realm? Very few below the Divine Nascent realm are a match for me. No matter how monstrous of a genius he is, he can’t possibly reach my level in just eighteen months. So, he will meet his end in a year and a half regardless!

“As for my advancement... Yun Tu, that old coot, has indeed delayed my progress. I won't forget this debt; he's next on my list once I break through," Duan Jingtian declared, his eyes gleaming with unmistakable intent to kill.

“Confidence is good, but remain vigilant. Spend this year cultivating diligently at Black Wind Cliff. I hope you can achieve the Divine Nascent realm soon and quash all opposition within the sect. With you at the helm, our sect will dominate Qingyang County. Your setback due to injury has merely delayed our plans,” said the sect leader.

“Sect Leader, isn’t the Great Chu Empire’s Grand Sect Conference in two years? This delay might work in our favor. Once I advance to the Divine Nascent realm, I can’t participate in the Grand Sect Conference. However, with my advancement delayed, I can represent the Spring Autumn Sect and dominate the Grand Sect Conference with overwhelming strength. Isn’t that even better?” Duan Jingtian said, smiling. His words implied that achieving the Divine Nascent realm was nothing difficult for him.

“Very well, with that perspective, I trust you'll succeed,” said the sect leader faintly. His form blurred and vanished with the wind, leaving no trace of his presence.

“......”

While the inner sect was filled with discussions, the main character of the crowd’s discussions was sitting cross-legged on a mountaintop. His cultivation churned, and his aura reached far and wide.

Suddenly, Chen Fan opened his eyes and electric arcs flashed across them. He had spent three days stabilizing himself at the peak of the Yuanfu realm.

Duan Jingtian had tried to suppress Chen Fan, but the small golden person used him to help Chen Fan, shattering his primeval vessel and forming an illusory core.

That saved him a lot of time.

With a swift gesture, Chen Fan produced the Extreme Profound Elixir in his palm. Its aroma permeated the air, stirring the qi within him with anticipation.

“It’s time to break through!” Chen Fan’s eyes shone, and he gulped the elixir. He closed his eyes and began refining the medicinal efficacy, trying to advance to the next realm.

The Extreme Profound Elixir’s energy erupted inside him.

Rumble!

The extremely pure medicinal energy blended with his primeval force. The friction from that produced a chain reaction.

Primeval force exploded within every one of Chen Fan’s acupuncture points, making it seem like hundreds of volcanoes had erupted simultaneously within him. The sound was extremely loud.

Flames spurted out of every one of his acupuncture points. His flesh and blood cheered in excitement, giving birth to immense strength.

The surrounding aura churned violently, rolling the winds and clouds.

All the disciples in the inner sect sensed the changes in heaven and earth. Everyone looked up, piercing through space and time, as if they could see Chen Fan, their minds trembling.

Everyone knew that Chen Fan was trying to advance to the Core Formation realm!
