Chapter 420: Chapter 235: Obtaining Golden Core Spirit Medicine, 3 Stages of Core Formation_3
So naturally, he wanted to know what exactly was key to advancing to the Golden Core stage.
Even though he was a Celestial Spirit Root cultivator, and the probability of advancing to Golden Core was high, it was not a certainty.
It is always right to make appropriate preparations in advance.
"The second barrier is the Spiritual Energy Pill Tribulation. When you advance to the Golden Core stage, a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surges into the body, causing one’s Spiritual Power to suddenly increase by tenfold, or even dozens of folds.
If your Spiritual Sense is not strong enough, you naturally won’t be able to control the Golden Core Spiritual Power that has increased dozens of times. If that happens, this Golden Core Spiritual Power will rampage through your body, causing you to explode and die.
In fact, some sects’ Foundation Establishment cultivators failed to form their Core in this way. Their Spiritual Sense was not strong enough to command the suddenly increased dozens of folds in Golden Core Spiritual Power, resulting in complete failure, death, and the dissipation of their Dao.
Therefore, Celestial Spirit Root cultivators have a huge advantage at this barrier. Such peerless talent can easily control the Golden Core Spiritual Power, which increases dozens of folds, and avoids failure in Core Formation.
It is because of this that in the Cultivation Realm, there still exist some Golden Core Spirit Medicine that can help Foundation Establishment cultivators’ Spiritual Sense to increase sharply, making a breakthrough possible to advance to Golden Core Spiritual Sense level, thus successfully forming the Core.
However, this kind of Golden Core Spirit Medicine that can increase Golden Core Spiritual Sense is even more rare than the Golden Core Spirit Medicine that helps purify Spiritual Power, and naturally, the price is even higher."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace explained.
After all, it had followed Daoist Wan Hua for so long and naturally understood how Foundation Establishment cultivators formed their Core.
In the past, Daoist Wan Hua suffered greatly in order to form his Core.
Because his Spirit Root talent was inferior, the effort required to break through was tens or even hundreds of times more than for other cultivators.
If not for the assistance of the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace, Daoist Wan Hua would never have had the chance to form his Core in this lifetime.
"Spiritual Energy Pill Tribulation? That’s the Spiritual Sense Barrier."
"However, my Spiritual Sense is naturally strong and long surpassed that of a Golden Core Zhenren."
"This barrier is non-existent for me."
"Moreover, I am already of Celestial Spirit Root, so there is no need for any Spirit Medicine to increase Golden Core Spiritual Sense."
Jiang Fan nodded.
He felt that he could already pass through two of the three Core Formation barriers.
No wonder it’s said that Celestial Spirit Root cultivators encounter hardly any bottleneck in advancing to Golden Core.
Possessing such top-notch talent is essentially akin to having innate Golden Core Spirit Medicine.
There is simply no need, as other cultivators do, to search for any Core Formation resources.
The cultivator can even independently form the Core using their own power.
"As for the third Core Formation barrier, that is the Heart Demon Barrier."
"This barrier is also extremely terrifying, and even for Celestial Spirit Root cultivators, it is the most challenging one."
"It is said that at the very moment of forming the Core, a Heart Demon invades, causing the cultivator to fall into an endless Illusion Realm."
"Do not assume that Celestial Spirit Root cultivators with no bottleneck in advancing to Golden Core are safe. If some of them have weak minds and cannot discern the Illusion Realm of Heart Demons, they too may be invaded by the Heart Demon and consequently fail in Core Formation."
"Therefore, every Celestial Spirit Root cultivator desiring to advance to Golden Core needs to temper their Dao Heart."
"Otherwise, even the best talent may not guarantee a breakthrough and the eventual condensation of the Golden Core."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace said gravely, clearly indicating that even Celestial Spirit Root cultivators are not guaranteed to form the Core. Throughout the long history of the Cultivation Realm, there have been instances of Celestial Spirit Root cultivators failing to form the Core.
Such Celestial Spirit Root cultivators, due to their arrogance and overconfidence from being flattered by other cultivators, possess a frail Dao Heart. Unable to withstand any setbacks, once they encounter a Heart Demon, they may be unable to extricate themselves, thus falling into the Illusion Realm and failing in Core Formation.
