Arc 3: Part 13
The spiritual root separated from the body, solidifying in the air to form a semi-translucent, red crystal. It twinkled with a soft sheen in the dim sky.
Ignoring the wound on his chest, Tian Xuanzi allowed it to gape open, then he held the root up and slapped it onto A'Tong's back!
A'Tong shivered all over!
It felt as if something had flooded her depleted body with warmth. The small firebird cried out and turned into a ball of golden-red flames, rushing into her Dantian, her core.
Like a dry riverbed filling up, her meridians absorbed the spiritual essence from the air. It was a sweet rain soaking the parched land, becoming a large river that surged towards her core. The spiritual energy automatically ran in circles and quickly formed a bountiful spirit body within her Dantian.
Surprised, A'Tong looked up to see the world subtly changing. The demonic energy dispersed, and spiritual energy congregated forming an extraordinary spectacle of colorful clouds and flowing winds above her.
The disciples of Ziwei Palace and several demon cultivators all widened their eyes. Someone exclaimed in astonishment, "Is this the auspicious sign of building a Nascent Soul? No, no, that's not right, how could they be Nascent Soul?"
"If they were Nascent Soul, then the auspicious energy would be somewhat insufficient. But if it was building a foundation - how could a foundation possibly cause heavenly changes, creating these spiritual auspicious signs?"
"Could her talents really be so high, it's so enviable––"
Tian Xuanzi spoke indifferently, "You all seem rather curious."
The disciples shivered, their thoughts cooling instantly as they remembered their positions. They immediately shrank back, their eyes became evasive, and they bowed their heads.
The higher-level demon cultivators eventually understood as well and looked shocked.
"No, she has fused with the Lord's spiritual root! The root does not distinguish between righteous and evil, nor does it carry cultivation, but since the Lord is a high-level cultivator, he could naturally make up for all her deficiencies in talent, giving her the strongest talents!"
"How high will her future achievements be! Once she descends into the demonic path, our demon realm will obtain another astonishingly talented rookie!"
"Indeed the Lord's strategy is profound, we admire it!"
"Yes, yes! The Lord is wise!"
They all deeply bowed to Tian Xuanzi, "Congratulations to the Lord, for gaining a valuable ally!"
Despite the admiration of the demon cultivators, Tian Xuanzi simply snorted and ignored them, focusing on A'Tong who was closing her eyes in his arms, merging with the spiritual root.
A'Tong was in a dire situation.
She could feel, inch by inch, as her meridians were broken and repaired by the colossal spiritual essence, gradually expanding. It was like a hundred rivers pouring into the sea, forming a vast sea of spiritual energy in her Dantian...
Her cultivation at the foundation-building stage was wholly restored!
And it was not just recovery.
Tian Xuanzi's spiritual root was a millennial Mahayana root that had undergone countless tempering processes.
It resonated with the Golden Crow Firebird within her body. The powerful fire-element spiritual energy flowed through her meridians. When she clenched her fist, she could feel the ultimate pure and powerful force!
—— Peak of foundation-building!
She was only one step away from forming a golden core. Compared with her previous cultivation, although it was not a difference of heaven and earth, it was still an extraordinary leap, an achievement that would take others many years of hard cultivation to achieve.
"You've done very well."
Tian Xuanzi lifted the restrictions placed on A'Tong and praised her softly: "A'Tong is so capable. You're already at the peak of the foundation-building stage. After you close up and form the core, you'll be the youngest golden core cultivator in several centuries."
Pride spread across the faces of the demon cultivators.
The process of forming a core could take months or even years, but it would still happen before the age of twenty. Becoming a golden core cultivator at this age hasn't been seen in hundreds of years, right?
Looking at the world, the last legend who formed a golden core before the age of twenty was set by the Lord a thousand years ago!
When that time comes, the demon realm will have another genius. The righteous path would certainly be green with envy, hahaha...
