C402 It Was a Success
Article 402. Great success
The Small Cauldron continued to crazily absorb Hsiang Yang's true essence. At the beginning, Hsiang Yang was determined to see the root of the Small Cauldron. But... As his true essence continued to be consumed, Hsiang Yang's heart also began to waver.
"Summon the Taia Sword. It will definitely bounce this Small Cauldron away."
After another hour, Hsiang Yang felt that his true essence was almost depleted. He immediately panicked, and couldn't help but think of using the Taia Sword.
"But, I have almost exhausted all of my true essence for it. If I give up just like that, it would be a great loss."
Hsiang Yang thought of the nearly dried up true essence in his body. He wanted to cry but had no tears. This really wasn't good news. He had suffered a double loss.
"No, I can't let this happen. If this Small Cauldron continues to absorb my flesh and blood essence, I will be finished."
After a while, Hsiang Yang felt that the blood in his body was about to stir under the suction force. He immediately made up his mind. With a thought, he planned to use the Taia Sword to deflect the Small Cauldron.
"Buzz!"
However, before Hsiang Yang could do anything, he discovered that the Small Cauldron was trembling slightly. An invisible green halo spread out. After that, the rust on the Small Cauldron all fell down, revealing the ancient bronze cauldron body.
"This is... the Mountain And River Diagram?"
Hsiang Yang's eyes were fixed on the Small Cauldron. After the rust on the Small Cauldron fell off, the four sides of the cauldron were actually inscribed with the Mountain And River Diagram table. The diagram was vivid and lifelike, as if it was carved on it.
"This is good stuff." Hsiang Yang was immediately overjoyed. In his impression, any ancient item that was inscribed with mountains and rivers should be an extraordinary item.
"Not good!"
However, while feeling proud, Hsiang Yang found that the Small Cauldron was still absorbing his blood essence. In the blink of an eye, a layer of his blood essence had been absorbed.
"What the f * ck?"
Hsiang Yang was shocked. It was fine if his true qi was sucked dry, but his blood essence was also sucked dry. If his blood essence was also sucked dry, then he would be dead for sure.
"Taia Sword!"
"Aooooo!" Hsiang Yang's mind moved and he made a prompt decision. Just as he was about to shake the Small Cauldron away... The Nine-coloured Divine Dragon that was completely immersed in the depths of his Dantian, which was formed by the spirit vein, suddenly let out a dragon's roar. After that, it rushed out of Hsiang Yang's Dantian. It followed Hsiang Yang's hand and rushed into the Small Cauldron.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a shocked sound was heard. After that, the entire Small Cauldron trembled and turned into a stream of light that rushed into Hsiang Yang's body.
"Buzz!"
Hsiang Yang's entire body trembled. He could only feel that after the Small Cauldron entered the depths of his Dantian... It immediately set off a violent storm in his Dantian, and a violent nine-colored energy spread out. In an instant, it turned into an even stronger energy and merged into Hsiang Yang's body.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all of Hsiang Yang's blood essence was replenished in an instant. Furthermore, it became even more abundant, as if his entire body was filled with endless energy. Not only that, but he had also filled up all of his True Yuan in an instant. Moreover, it was even more solid than before. The vortex that was about to condense into a Golden Core within his body had become much more solid.
Hsiang Yang didn't have time to be pleasantly surprised. He could feel that the nine-colored energy that was spreading out from the Small Cauldron didn't reduce in the slightest. Instead, it seemed to be increasing in number. He was instantly shocked.
"This won't do. I can't continue. Otherwise, I will forcefully condense a Golden Core."
If it was in the past, Hsiang Yang would definitely be overjoyed if he had the tendency to condense his Golden Core. However, he wasn't willing to condense his Golden Core at this moment.
"Boom!"
Others might be happy at the same time, but it was a disaster for Hsiang Yang. Under this tremendous force, the seal in his body instantly broke. The cultivation base that was sealed in his body burst out instantly, merging with the current energy in his body.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Violent energy swept across Hsiang Yang's body. If it wasn't for the fact that his body had reached the first level of the Indestructible Profound Arts, he was afraid that his body would have exploded at this moment.
Even so, the energy that erupted from the Small Cauldron was simply too strong. In addition to the power that came from the fusion of the two true essence in Hsiang Yang's body, even Hsiang Yang's meridians couldn't withstand it and were torn apart.
"It's over. This energy is too strong. I have to find a way to suppress it. Otherwise, even if I don't break through to the Golden Core Stage, I won't be able to do it."
Hsiang Yang forced a smile. He could feel the terrible condition in his body, then he looked around and said in a low voice, "I can't break through here. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and unleashed his cultivation technique, instantly disappearing from where he stood. However, as it was unknown how long it would take for him to leave this place, Hsiang Yang transmitted his voice to the two girls before he left. "I suddenly have an epiphany, and I need to go into secluded cultivation for a period of time. Don't think about it."
"You heard it too?"
Just as Hsiang Yang left, his voice reached the two girls' hearts. Even though they were cultivating, they could still hear it. They immediately woke up. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw two dazzling swords neatly placed in the center. Obviously, it was given to them by Hsiang Yang.
"What a beautiful sword."
As Hsiang Yang had informed them beforehand that he was going to cultivate in seclusion, the two girls didn't think too much about it. They were immediately attracted by the two swords.
The moment Hsiang Yang disappeared from the room, at the peak of the mountain where Hsiang Yang often cultivated in Tianhai City. His figure appeared out of thin air. As soon as he appeared, a few dull thuds could be heard. Hsiang Yang's skin was torn apart, and blood gushed out from his body. In an instant, he had turned into a bloody man.
"I will never form a Golden Core unless absolutely necessary."
Even though the situation was critical, Hsiang Yang gritted his teeth and refused to give up. He controlled the surging energy in his body with all his strength. However... The energy within his body was too strong. In addition, the energy within the Small Cauldron was getting stronger and stronger. This made it harder for Hsiang Yang to persist any longer.
"This won't do. If this continues, my body will definitely explode and die. Unless I form my Golden Core, I will be in great danger. However, according to what Girl Zhang said, if I form a Golden Core... I might miss a great opportunity. What should I choose?"
Hsiang Yang gritted his teeth. He didn't even know that blood was flowing out of his gums. His brain was working frantically as he thought of countermeasures.
"Pa!"
Even Hsiang Yang could hear the sound of his meridians cracking. The skin of his body was cracking, and blood kept spurting out.
"I have it. If I don't form my Golden Core, I will walk the path of an ancient Qi Practitioner. Master once said that ancient Qi Practitioners only practiced Qi. If you don't practice Gold Core, you will walk the path of pure Qi. They tempered their own strength to the extreme. In the same cultivation level, his combat strength surpassed that of a Golden Core cultivator. Apart from the fact that he did not have a Golden Core, the rest of his abilities were not weaker than a Golden Core cultivator's. It's also possible that he's stronger. "
Suddenly, Hsiang Yang remembered what his master had said in the past. Fortunately, out of curiosity, he had asked him how he could only refine Qi but not a Golden Core. He now knew how to walk the path of the purest Qi Practitioners.
"I don't have to walk the path of the ancient Qi Practitioners. As long as I continue to refine my own strength, even if I eventually form the Golden Core, I will still be stronger than ordinary people." Thinking of this, Hsiang Yang decided to start condensing Golden Core immediately.
"Compressing and changing the quality of my True Essence, causing it to continuously transform and sublimate. This is an evolution of life."
Hsiang Yang thought of his Master's answer at that time, and made a prompt decision. He immediately used his Master's method to compress and condense his True Yuan.
"Buzz!"
The energy in Hsiang Yang's body was surging violently, because this energy was just too powerful. It was very difficult for Hsiang Yang to condense his true essence. Luckily... At the most critical moment, the Taia Sword trembled and emitted a golden sword light that froze Hsiang Yang's dantian, causing the boundless energy in his dantian to gradually stabilize.
"Condense, qualitative change, sublimation!"
Hsiang Yang muttered to himself in a low voice. A bright light radiated from his eyes as he used all his strength to suppress the boundless energy in his body.
With the suppression of the Taia Sword, the energy within Hsiang Yang's dantian became much gentler. Hsiang Yang used all of his strength to condense true essence, showing that he was constantly compressing it, and then condensing it into sublimation.
This was a process of qualitative change, and also the process of evolution of life. Hsiang Yang felt as if he was about to explode from this boundless energy. He felt as if his entire body was in unbearable pain. However, he felt both pain and happiness. This was because during the process of condensing his true essence, he felt as if his entire body was going to explode. He could clearly feel that the quality of his true essence was constantly improving.
To Hsiang Yang, this was a change that could only be chanced upon by luck. If he succeeded... He would step onto the path of cultivation for ancient Qi Practitioners. He would no longer have to worry about suddenly condensing his Golden Core and missing out on the opportunity brought about by the changes in heaven and earth. However, if he failed, the power in his body would go out of control. It'll explode in an instant.
Wealth came from danger, and it was the same for cultivation. Cultivators walked like steel ropes. They either reached the other side of the river or fell into the endless abyss. Only those with great perseverance and wisdom could truly succeed.
To Hsiang Yang, this was a dangerous and full of opportunities cultivation. It was also a gamble.
"Boom!"2
After an unknown period of time, Hsiang Yang felt the true essence in his body rumbling. After the true essence had been condensed to the peak, it had undergone a qualitative change. It had turned into a substantialized silk thread, but it was only the size of a strand of hair.
"After all of the strength in my body has been condensed, there is only this tiny wisp of true essence left. Although the quantity has decreased, the quality has been sublimated. The strength that erupted from my body is definitely stronger than before."
Hsiang Yang whispered to himself, his eyes filled with excitement. After the first thread of true essence had been successfully condensed, this had given Hsiang Yang a great deal of confidence. He knew that... He had taken the right path and succeeded as well. Therefore, he tried his best to condense his true essence at the fastest speed possible.
The sun rose and the moon fell. The sky changed constantly. In the blink of an eye, nine days and nine nights had passed. Finally, on the tenth day, Hsiang Yang suddenly opened his eyes. There was a dazzling divine light burning in his eyes, as well as a nine-colored flame. He unleashed a force that could capture one's mind.
"It's finally done!"
After cultivating for nine days and nine nights, no one knew how much pain Hsiang Yang had suffered during this period of time. The path of cultivation was incomparably arduous, and only those with great wisdom and perseverance could persist until the end.
Hsiang Yang endured the danger of his body exploding and compressing his True Yuan, walking on the path of the ancient Qi Practitioners. From now on, he didn't have to worry about whether or not he would succeed in condensing his Golden Core. All he needed to do was to continuously condense his True Yuan, causing his body to undergo continuous sublimation and transformation. He would be able to move freely in the world.
The cultivation of nine days and nine nights carried a great danger, but it also brought him unparalleled benefits. From now on, he wasn't a Golden Core cultivator, but a cultivator that was comparable to a Golden Core Stage.
