Chapter 82 What is the golden sphere?

Without reaching the Yuan Dan stage, it is ultimately difficult to contend with the Void God stage. After all, the Void God stage has already begun to condense its soul and can initially draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

Moreover, cultivators at the Void God stage have already transformed the true essence within their bodies into a new type of energy.

Void Energy!

The nine realms of cultivation are all about refining spiritual energy into power.

During the Qi Refining stage, one absorbs, purifies, and compresses spiritual energy for cultivation. What is stored in the body is still spiritual energy, only with a higher purity.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, spiritual energy transforms into true essence. True essence is still a kind of energy, not "force," but this energy is purer than spiritual energy.

During the Yuan Dan stage, True Essence is liquefied, and Yuan Qi is purified and transformed into liquid once again. However, it still hasn't reached the level of "force." True Essence liquefaction continues to condense into the Golden Core, still refining Qi into force.

Only by cultivating "power" can one truly begin their spiritual practice. Only "power" that is visible to the naked eye can be considered true "power."

Upon reaching the Void God stage, the Golden Core dissolves and is then refined again to achieve Void Essence Power.

Only with illusory primordial energy can one gather divine soul and achieve illusory godhood.

Only when illusory primordial energy is generated can a cultivator officially begin cultivation. Illusory primordial energy is the nourishment for the soul; only "energy" of this level is qualified to nurture the soul.

Cultivation involves two aspects: first, cultivating the physical body; second, cultivating the soul.

In the first three stages of spiritual practice, one has no idea what the soul is; it is invisible, unknowable, and unthinkable.

The Void Spirit stage involves condensing Void Yuan Power, and then using this power to gather the scattered soul fragments within the body, gradually transforming them into a Void Soul.

To know the soul and see the soul, and then to condense the soul and gather the spirit, is the true beginning of cultivation.

Therefore, the first four realms are merely the foundation of cultivation, and are all about building a solid base.

The five titled realms that follow cultivate true Yuan Power!

Only when vapor is transformed into power can one truly enter the inner sanctum!

No matter how powerful the colorful spiritual liquid in Chu Feng's body was, it couldn't compare to the illusory energy in the body of a Void God stage cultivator.

Therefore, even if Chu Feng fights with all his might at this moment, he can only kill one Void God stage cultivator at most.

Zeng Xiao brought several Void God stage cultivators and a group of Yuan Dan stage cultivators; he was definitely no match for him.

Therefore, you either escape or condense your golden core and achieve the Yuan Dan stage. There is no third way.

In fact, it would be difficult for Chu Feng to escape; his speed was ultimately no match for Zeng Xiao's.

This was because Zeng Xiao was reluctant to waste a lot of his Void Yuan Power on flying, since he was only at the first level of the Void God stage and had just formed a small amount of Void Yuan Power in his body. Once it was used up, it would be gone.

For those in the Yuan Dan stage to fly briefly, they can only rely on the true essence within their bodies. In reality, it's more like gliding than flying, and it's extremely wasteful of true essence.

Otherwise, Zeng Xiao and the others would have caught up with him long ago.

Chu Feng was extremely anxious. He had only been in this world for a little over a month and had already encountered a bunch of idiots. A bunch of Void God stage cultivators and a bunch of Yuan Dan stage cultivators were trying to deal with a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like me. Did they have any shame?

Once I've caught my breath, I'll crush you bunch of bastards!

Zeng Xiao and the others were getting closer and closer to Chu Feng. There was no way around it; the difference in their cultivation levels was too great—two major cultivation levels!

"You little beast, keep running! Why aren't you running anymore?" Several Void God stage cultivators surrounded Chu Feng, panting and cursing.

Damn it, you're so fast! We're Void God stage cultivators, and you almost got away! It'll be so embarrassing if word gets out!

"Kid, do you think you can escape?" Zeng Xiao stared intently at Chu Feng, his gaze deep, as if trying to see right through him.

Chu Feng was also frustrated. He still couldn't break through. What should he do? His dantian expanded dozens of times, looking like a huge lake. The colorful spiritual liquid was like rolling waves, more than ten times stronger than before.

Two hundred million mid-grade spirit stones have been used up, and you still can't break through to the Yuan Dan stage? Is this a joke?

Other cultivators would have broken through dozens of times by now!

Seemingly sensing a deadly crisis, the golden sphere in Chu Feng's mind suddenly shone brightly, and a fist-sized beam of golden light shot directly towards Chu Feng's dantian!

At the same time, the golden sphere slowly moved into the depths of Chu Feng's mind!

"What's going on?" Chu Feng was startled.

The moment the golden light shone into Chu Feng's dantian, the colorful spiritual liquid within his dantian began to boil!

Is this the time for the golden core to condense?

"You little beast, why aren't you saying anything? Are you regretting it now that you're about to die?" Zeng Xiao said sinisterly.

Even if you can run, now that you're surrounded, can you still keep running? Including yourself, there are eight Void God stage cultivators and twenty-three Core Formation stage cultivators. Are you scared?

Zeng Xiao and the others naturally couldn't see the changes in Chu Feng's body.

"Master Zeng, I have a grudge against Hu Junxiong, Huo Ting and others, but I have not offended you. Moreover, I am also a guest alchemist of the Pill Pavilion. Why should we kill each other?"

Chu Feng could only stall for time. The spiritual liquid in his dantian was churning violently, and it certainly wouldn't condense into a golden core so quickly.

The golden sphere that shot out was of an unknown substance, yet it caused a tremendous change in my dantian. In my previous life, when I broke through to the Yuan Dan stage, I slowly condensed the liquid formed from my true essence into a golden core. Most cultivators broke through in this way.

What's going on this time? Chu Feng had no idea.

The golden sphere moved forward in Chu Feng's mind, its speed increasing, and its dazzling golden light illuminated his mind.

Chu Feng only realized at this moment that his mind was so vast, it was practically boundless. Even after breaking through to the Emperor Realm in his previous life, his mind was not this vast!

Like the vast universe, boundless and limitless!

However, Chu Feng's mind was like a giant black hole, and he could see nothing!

Zeng Xiao sneered, "You regret it now? Are you scared now? Now you know you're a guest alchemist at the Pill Pavilion? Too late! If you know what's good for you, join my Tianfu City Pill Pavilion sooner and offer me the formula for the Marrow Nourishing Pill, and I might spare your dog's life!"

How dare you join Wen Yixi's faction? You're asking for death!

Now that he had captured Chu Feng, Zeng Xiao didn't mind toying with the boy. Of course, most importantly, Zeng Xiao wanted to see if he could get some other pill formulas out of Chu Feng.

Most alchemists would memorize the recipes and write them down, making them easy targets for theft.

Unfortunately, only those who have reached the Venerable Realm can use soul-searching to examine a cultivator's memories. Otherwise, Zeng Xiao would have immediately controlled Chu Feng and directly searched his soul.

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Master Zeng, I have many pill formulas. What is a mere Marrow Nourishing Pill? I also have many fifth and sixth grade pill formulas."

Stimulated by the mysterious golden light, the colorful spiritual liquid in Chu Feng's dantian began to gather above the lake-sized dantian. Chu Feng felt that in a few more breaths, the spiritual liquid might begin to form a core!

At that moment, the golden sphere seemed to reach the end of its mental state and stopped moving. Simultaneously, the sphere shone brightly, and a massive, dark mountain fell out from within it!

Chu Feng was completely dumbfounded. Could this thing be a storage ring? A treasure vault?

What does it mean to throw out a mountain?
