Chapter 103: Condensing a Golden Core

Half a month later, the sacrificial exercise was completed.

The eyes of the two skeletons ignited with cold blue soul flames, and their bodies constantly emitted bone-piercing cold air.

The white bones were like ice crystals, like a work of art.

When they were alive, they were at the sixth and fourth level of Foundation Establishment, respectively. However, after being refined into bone slaves, they could only unleash the strength of the first level of Foundation Establishment.

“Kakakakakaka…’

Under Zhang Chen’s control, the two skeletons moved and attacked a big tree outside the cave.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, wood chips flew and the tree fell to the ground. The entire tree was covered in frost, and the leaves were all frozen into ice.

In terms of attack and defense, the two skeletons were far inferior to the White Bone True Body. The only thing worthy of praise was the ice attribute.

It was even more useful against his fellow disciples of the Blood God Sect.

“It’s time to return to the Blood God Sect after so long.”

Zhang Chen put away the two ice skeletons, turned into a blood light, and disappeared from the cave.

At this moment, the sect master was discussing matters with a few elders in the Blood God Sect.

“Black Blood, how did the Silver Moon Sect react?”

Elder Black Blood replied, “Sect Master, other than sending disciples to fight with our sect’s disciples, the Silver Moon Sect did not do anything else.”

The Blood God Sect Master asked again, “How many disciples have we lost?” Elder Black Blood thought for a moment. “About 20 personal disciples.”

“How many disciples did the Silver Moon Sect lose?”

“About 50.”

“How many spiritual root disciples did you snatch from the Silver Moon Sect?”

The two of them asked and answered. After the Blood God Sect Master figured out the losses of both sides, he frowned. “Our sect has lost too many disciples.” The elders lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

After a while, the Blood God Sect Master continued, “I recently sensed that a disciple seems to be condensing a Golden Core. Whose disciple is it?” “Sect Master, he’s my disciple,” Blood River spoke up.

“Shouldn’t you also be advancing to the Nascent Soul stage?” The Blood God Sect Master seemed to be hinting at something.

The expressions of the Golden Core elders changed immediately, and fear appeared in their eyes.

At this moment, they were no different from those direct disciples who were afraid of forming their cores.

Without waiting for the elders to answer, the Blood God Sect Master Continued, “It’s been 300 years since our Blood God Sect was rebuilt. It’s time to consider rescuing the previous sect master.

“However, at least three Nascent Soul cultivators are needed to have the chance

to set up the Netherworld Array, connect the Netherworld Blood Sea, and break the seal of the orthodox sect.”

Hearing this, the elders could only express their stance, “We will definitely try our best to form the Nascent Soul.”

“Good,” Blood God Sect Master nodded in satisfaction without pressing too hard.

Several days later, Zhang Chen returned to the Blood God Sect.

Although Elder Blood River was keeping a close eye on him, for Zhang Chen, the Blood God Sect was currently the place where he could practice in peace and have enough resources.

It was relatively safe before he formed his core, and what he had to do was to continue to accumulate strength.

As Zhang Chen returned, many people came to visit him.

It was mainly because his senior brothers and sisters, as well as the Alchemy Pavilion, wanted to confirm if they could continue to exchange for blood essence.

On the fifth day, Li Mumin also came.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Zhang. Otherwise, I would not have been able to escape,” Li Mumin said.

Zhang Chen responded flatly, “If it weren’t for Senior Brother’s reminder, I might have been sacrificed by Elder Black Blood. I am just repaying your kindness.”

Li Mumin shook his head. “I only gave a reminder at that time, which is far from being compared with Junior Brother’s kindness. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse.”

Li Mumin knew that the gap between him and Zhang Chen would only grow larger, and it would be difficult for them to have any more communication. He might as well take this opportunity to rekindle their relationship.

Although the roles had been reversed, it was still an opportunity.

Zhang Chen was stronger than him, controlled the Beast Garden, and had a way to exchange for blood essence. Countless people wanted to build connections with him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Mumin left.

Zhang Chen’s life returned to peace. He refined demon blood, extracted blood essence and spirituality, nurtured the Blood God Sons, and dealt with the affairs of the Blood God Sect.

One day two years later, thunderclouds surged above the Blood God Sect, as if something was brewing.

“Boom!” “Boom!”

“Boom boom boom…”

“What happened?” Zhang Chen was awakened from his cultivation, got up, and walked out of the cave to look at the thunderclouds in the sky.

There was also a kind of pressure that belonged to the Golden Core stage, faintly emanating, extremely unstable.

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and guessed, “Is Eldest Senior Brother advancing to the Golden Core realm?”

The disciples of the Blood God Sect raised their heads and looked at the sky with solemn expressions.

At this moment, Hong Longguang had already reached the critical moment of condensing his Golden Core.

He had been stuck at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment for a hundred years and already had the powers and foundation to advance to the Golden Core realm. However, he had never dared to take this step.

“Boom!”

A bolt of lightning struck down, and an invisible suction force appeared in the cave abode. The blood in Hong Longguang’s body was drawn away and left his body, forming a huge vortex in the air.

To the disciples of the Blood God Sect, blood was magic power. As his blood continued to be lost, Hong Longguang’s aura began to decline rapidly, but his mental power began to sublimate.

“Boom!”

Another bolt of lightning struck down, and a strange scene began to appear in the air. One could vaguely see a blood river.

It was a Golden Core phenomenon!

In the cave abode, Hong Longguang’s body was completely devoid of blood.

A large amount of blood floated in the air and spun into a huge blood ball.

Then the invisible force began to squeeze the blood cells, and the blood cells gradually shrank.

As the invisible force continued to squeeze, the blood began to crystallize.

The Golden Core phenomenon in the sky above became more and more apparent, and a surging blood river appeared.

In the cave abode, the condensation of the Golden Core had reached its final step.

The blood that had been compressed into crystals could not completely take shape, and was covered with cracks on the surface.

Hong Longguang swallowed a bottle of pills and roared, “Golden Core, condense!”

With the support of the medicinal pill, the blood-colored crystals in the air burst into a brilliant light, which even the stone walls of the cave could not withstand.

“This is a success!”

The moment they saw the light, everyone understood that Hong Longguang had successfully advanced to the Golden Core realm.

And those direct disciples who were at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage became even more nervous, staring at Hong Longguang’s cave intently: “What will happen next? Will Hong Longguang become an elder or disappear forever?”

In the cave abode, a fist-sized, round blood-red bead floated in the air.

“This is a Golden Core!”

Excited, Hong Guang opened his mouth and swallowed the golden core.

As the golden core entered his abdomen, a huge force ran through his whole body, giving him a feeling that he could destroy the world.

And his appearance, which was once elderly, also changed to a middle-aged appearance.

As the saying went, when one swallowed a golden core, one knew that one’s destiny was not in the hands of heaven.

From then on, he would be a Golden Core Stage Patriarch, with a lifespan of 500 years!

In some small sects, the highest cultivation level was at the Golden Core realm.

However, Hong Longguang quickly calmed down and became worried.

The situation where disciples disappeared after reaching the Core Formation stage weighed heavily on his mind..
