Fusing all sorts of different types of martial arts was supposed to be a long process, but Yi Yan didn't think that it would be completed in a year or two.

However, he was a cultivator and had enough time and patience to do this.

Moreover, during the process of fusing with these moves, Yi Yan's own understanding towards the use of skills and energy was also deepening.

However, Yi Yan had no choice but to stop.

This was because his cultivation base had already reached the peak of the Late Spirit Realm, and he was about to break into the Aurous Core stage.

Yi Yan had already decided that after he broke through to the Aurous Core stage, he would inform his family members about his identity as a cultivator and bring them along to cultivate together.

Ye Zichen greeted his family and said that he was going to go into closed door cultivation for a few days, so he shouldn't disturb Ye Zichen during that time.

The Yi family members were no longer surprised by this situation. Ever since Yi Yan went out to cultivate for three years, he had been in closed door cultivation.

At first, Ouyang Qian was worried that his constant closed door cultivation would cause some bad effects to Yi Yan's body, but Yi Zhao thought that it was because of some kind of mysterious technique that Yi Yan had learned in the secret cave.

Slowly, everyone got used to it.

After returning to his room, Yi Yan first set up a simple isolation restriction to prevent himself from being disturbed by the outside world during the process of breaking through to the Aurous Core stage and also to prevent any harm to his family caused by the unintentional energy he emitted.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Yi Yan sank his mind into his dantian.

At this time, Yi Yan's dantian was already full with Genuine Elemental Energy.

Yi Yan circulated the《 Yuan Yang Arts》 and controlled the Genuine Elemental Energy to slowly revolve and compress themselves at the same time.

Gradually, a drop of liquid appeared within the gaseous Genuine Elemental Energy. It was like a gaping hole in a dam, and once it appeared, it became unmanageable. More and more Genuine Elemental Energy began to transform into liquid.

After his elemental energy had been converted into liquid form, the spinning speed did not slow down. Instead, it continued to accelerate.

The size of the liquid Genuine Elemental Energy also became smaller and smaller, slowly showing signs of solidifying.

Yi Yan was currently using all his strength to control the Genuine Elemental Energy and compress it. He did not notice in the slightest that the revolving speed of the Taiji Fish formed in his sea of consciousness had also suddenly increased.

Finally, there was a drop of liquid within the Genuine Elemental Energy that showed signs of solidifying. Yi Yan could not help but feel a surge of joy in his heart: Everything is difficult in the beginning, as long as one drop of the Genuine Elemental Energy is solidified, the others will quickly solidify under its lead and condense into a golden pellet.

However, the moment that drop of Genuine Elemental Energy froze, an unexpected change occurred!

The Life And Death Taiji Fish that was always calm in his sea of consciousness suddenly released a huge amount of force, strangling the newly formed solid state Genuine Elemental Energy into a gaseous state. Even Yi Yan's spirit sense that was attached to it was instantly shattered into pieces!

But Yi Yan who was focused on his Dantian did not realise the source of the powerful force, as though he had appeared out of nowhere, he suddenly flew over.

Yi Yan's mind suddenly shook: How could this be?

In his previous life, the process of condensing his aurous core had gone smoothly.

Maybe he didn't control his strength well just now, Yi Yan comforted himself.

Then, he carefully controlled the liquid Genuine Elemental Energy and continued to compress it.

But just like the first drop of Genuine Elemental Energy, every time a Genuine Elemental Energy solidified, the Life And Death Taiji Fish would release a huge force that would mince the Genuine Elemental Energy into pieces.

The power behind it was so strong that even the droplets of Yi Yan's soul essence felt a kind of piercing pain.

< p > After trying countless times, the results were always the same.

Yi Yan felt bitter in his heart. Since he could not condense the Golden Core, he could not continue to cultivate, which also meant that he would be stuck at the peak of the Late Spirit Realm, and would not be able to progress an inch in the future!

Late Spirit Realm, which was equivalent to the peak of the Upper Sky Realm, was one of the top existences in the martial arts world.

The problem was, Yi Yan was a cultivator in his previous life, so how could he be satisfied with just being a top warrior?

Forcing himself to calm down, Yi Yan slowly thought about every process of condensing his Gold Core.

There was no problem with the Genuine Elemental Energy. His own mental realm had already reached the early stage of the Body Fusion, so it was impossible for his control to be off by a little.

So what was the problem?

Carefully comparing the difference between his current life and his previous life, Yi Yan slowly shifted his doubt towards the Life And Death Taiji Fish in his sea of consciousness.

But the problem was, ever since the death aura entered the soul, he had been unable to control it, including the life force he absorbed later to eliminate it.

If it was really because of these two powers that he was unable to condense the Gold Core, then he would be at his wit's end right now.

At the same time, Yi Yan felt that it was strange. Since there had been no activity for more than ten years, why would there be a problem at such a critical juncture?

If he did not solve this problem, all of Yi Yan's previous efforts, including the Innate Dao Body that he was proud of, would have been shattered in the blink of an eye.

Unreconciled, Yi Yan was truly unreconciled!

However, this was not an issue that could be solved in a hurry. Yi Yan decided to not forcefully break through until he found out the reason for the Life And Death Taiji Fish's interference with the Jindan.

Otherwise, if he went berserk, he wouldn't be like him with a master helping him at Cultivation Realm.

Since he was no longer able to go down the path of the "Yuanyang Secret Art", he would switch to another cultivation technique.

Yi Yan might not have learned hundreds of cultivation techniques in the Spatial Channel s. Even though he couldn't learn the "Yuanyang Formula", it didn't mean that he definitely could not succeed in other cultivation techniques.

Yi Yan was definitely not willing to give up before doing everything he could think of.

Since Yi Yan's cultivation had already reached the peak of the later stages of the Spirit Realm, and he did not have the ability to form a golden core, it was very convenient for him to cultivate other cultivation techniques. He only needed to use the Genuine Elemental Energy in his body to break through the golden core.

In the following days, Yi Yan crazily practiced different sets of cultivation techniques. First, he had heard of the top tier cultivation techniques in the Cultivation Realm, then he switched to regular cultivation techniques, and continued to practice the unheard-of outrageous cultivation techniques that he had learned in the Spatial Channel s.

In these past five years, Yi Yan had tried hundreds of cultivation techniques, and even tried to cultivate a part of them.

He attacked the Jindan repeatedly, but failed again and again.

After several hundred tries, Yi Yan finally confirmed the guess that the enormous force came from the Life And Death Taiji Fish.

After five years of continuous failure, Yi Yan was filled with hope from the start, to the disappointment of helplessly giving up, and all the way to the end, he was completely numb.

In the end, the driving force behind his incessant attempts was not so much conviction as habit.

When the last cultivation technique he knew of failed to break through into the Jindan Stage, Yi Yan knew that he would have no hope of cultivating it.

In these five years, every new method had refined and refined the Genuine Elemental Energy's essence within Yi Yan's body once. After hundreds of times, the Genuine Elemental Energy in Yi Yan's body had become extremely pure.

He kept trying to break through the early stage of the body transformation and reached the middle stage of the body fusion.

At this time, with Yi Yan's incomparably pure Genuine Elemental Energy and mental realm which far exceeded his cultivation level, even if it was a fight between middle stage Jindan Stage cultivators, it was unknown who would win.

< p > But so what?

If it was at the Nascent Infant stage, with an endless number of lives, he could slowly think of a way.

Although a cultivation base that was equivalent to the peak of the Xiantian realm could extend one's lifespan, it was only a few decades.

With more than a hundred years of life, there were very few things that he could do. Yi Yan did not believe that the luck from the previous time would once again befall him.

Recently, Yi Yan's terrible expression had fallen into the eyes of his family members, causing their worry to worsen.

At first, Yi Yan had explained that it was due to him being too tired from training. After a while, everyone in the clan no longer believed his "lies".

They were also martial artists, but how could they not be able to recover after being tired for so long?

Everyone even suspected that Yi Yan had Qi deviation (A warrior's Qi deviation was different from a cultivator's Qi deviation).

After a cultivator's cultivation goes berserk, the energy in their entire body would lose control and surge within their body. The light martial artist would experience a drop in their realm, and even their body would explode and die; however, when a martial artist goes berserk, it was caused by their true qi not flowing according to the fixed meridians, which would cause their meridians to be damaged, leaving behind internal injuries.

Yi Yan was the only person who had the qualifications to enter the secret cave and study the martial arts techniques left behind by the Yi family's ancestors. Therefore, Yi Zhao was the one who was most concerned with his cultivation.

In order to cure this so-called 'Qi deviation'.

Yi Zhao pulled his old friend Ouyang Qian's father Ouyang Yu over as well.

It was only because there was no specific news that no one else was alerted.

Although Ouyang Yu was the Patriarch of the Ouyang Family, he only had Ouyang Qian, his only daughter, and his wife had already passed away.

Therefore, their daughter and grandson were the only family Ouyang Yu had left in this world.

Upon hearing that there was a problem with his grandson's cultivation, he rushed over from the Sky Mountain in a hurry.

Therefore, when Yi Yan finished his last attempt and appeared in the living room, what entered his eyes was the solemn and worried faces of his entire family.

Yi Yan felt a wave of gratitude in his heart. It seemed that he had not paid too much attention to this matter a while ago, and had written all of the frustration in his heart onto his face, which was why his family was so worried.

He hurriedly collected his emotions and used the Genuine Elemental Energy to make himself look more normal before striding into the living room.

At the same time, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart: I had originally planned to cultivate with them, and now, even my own cultivation is in trouble. If I let these people who have travelled for a long time can face the storm of Cultivation Realm, how could I relax?

"Greetings to Grandfather, Grandmother, Grandfather, Father, and Mother." Everyone is waiting for me here, is there something important? "

Yi Yan stepped forward and bowed.

At this moment, his complexion had already returned to normal, and he had a faint smile on his face as usual.
