Chapter 1290 Chen Yang Breaks Through in Seclusion, Successfully Condensing the Yuan Dan
At this moment, inside the cave, the dragon marrow of the Dragon Transformation Pool was completely refined, and the external primordial energy storm enveloped most of the Dragon Pool Secret Realm.
However, this was not enough for Chen Yang, because he wanted to condense the most advanced Yuan Dan.
Immediately afterwards, he took out ten drops of divine liquid from the old ginseng of Changbai Mountain, intending to refine them all in order to bring his essence, energy, and spirit to a state of perfection.
Boom!
He had only swallowed a single drop of divine liquid when the entire stone chamber was instantly filled with a surging wave of primordial energy. The primordial energy transformed into billowing mist, which, with Chen Yang's breath, crashed against the cave walls like a tide, producing a deafening sound.
It was as if Chen Yang was resonating with the entire cave, and even the entire mountain, their frequencies perfectly aligned.
If the cave hadn't been protected by a protective barrier, the cave walls might have already cracked, making the entire mountain unstable.
Chen Yang was at the core of the entire primordial energy tide between heaven and earth. All the primordial energy turned into a funnel, passing through the mountain and directly pouring into his body.
He sat cross-legged without moving, as if there was a bottomless pit inside his body, capable of devouring any amount of vital energy and refining any amount of medicinal power.
Buzz!
A series of dazzling rays of light emanated from his body.
First, there was the golden divine light condensed from the half-step Great Perfection of the Xuanhuang Dao Body, which was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky, making Chen Yang's physical body look as if it were forged from divine metal.
Secondly, there was the radiance emanating from the vast true energy within his dantian.
The true energy in the dantian was spinning at high speed, so dense that it could not be dispersed, and a tai chi pattern was vaguely visible, with yin and yang fish chasing each other.
This true essence is no longer simply the Xuanhuang true essence, but rather a true essence containing various attributes, such as thunder, wood, and fire. By simply absorbing a wisp of this true essence, one can unleash thunder-based divine abilities, wood-based divine abilities, fire-based divine abilities, and so on.
Originally, these different types of true essence were separate, each keeping to itself. Chen Yang could simply use the corresponding divine power to absorb the corresponding true essence. But now, these mixed attributes have been perfectly integrated, with one type of true essence containing many attributes.
For other cultivators, this was simply impossible.
This was all thanks to the innate Yin and Yang energies of Wu Xue'er and Wu Yan'er, the twin holy bodies of Yin and Yang, which allowed his true essence to merge into one. Otherwise, he would be facing a dilemma in condensing his Yuan Dan: should he condense a Yuan Dan with the attributes of thunder, wood, or fire? ...
Since only one Yuan Dan can be condensed, he chose a Yuan Dan of one attribute and had to give up the others.
This will directly result in the Golden Core grade he attains being unable to be too high.
This problem has now been perfectly resolved.
His physical body and true essence had reached a perfect state. Finally, his divine soul was illuminated, with all nine layers of his sea of consciousness lit up. A towering, god-like being sat within it, with a golden dragon coiled behind him and a vermilion bird flying above his head. This signified that Chen Yang possessed both the bloodlines of the Earth Vein Dragon and the Vermilion Bird.
Physical body, true essence, and divine soul!
These three elements are the foundation of the human body, and they are also the objects of Chen Yang's cultivation along the way.
The essence of cultivation is to constantly refine one's essence, energy, and spirit.
When essence, qi, and spirit are all refined to a certain degree, and when they unite as one, that is the time to condense the primordial elixir.
Of course, the more perfectly one refines one's essence, energy, and spirit, the higher the grade of the primordial elixir that is condensed, and thus the higher the grade of the golden elixir that one attains for enlightenment.
Furthermore, if the Yuan Dan is only mediocrely refined and cannot generate a connection between heaven and man, thus failing to attract the tribulation lightning, or even if it can attract the tribulation lightning, the Yuan Dan will be directly shattered during the tribulation, resulting in the destruction of one's Dao fruit at best, and death or even the dissipation of one's Dao at worst.
Compared to other cultivators, Chen Yang's essence, energy, and spirit were already perfect, but he had lofty ambitions and pursued even greater perfection.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
Another month passed after Chen Yang had completely refined all ten drops of divine liquid.
He had been in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm for seven months by then.
For the outside world, seven months is a long time; more than half the year has passed. My hometown, Chuzhou, has gone through winter and spring and should be entering summer.
For a cultivator in seclusion, seven months is really not a long time; it passes by in the blink of an eye.
It was like a dream, fleeting and ephemeral.
Refining ten drops of divine liquid brought about tremendous changes in Chen Yang.
At this moment, the primordial energy storm in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm has completely filled the void of the secret realm.
Under the powerful medicinal effects of the divine liquid and the surging vital energy, mysterious changes were taking place within Chen Yang's body.
The divine power of his Xuanhuang Dao Body was already subtly fusing with the true essence in his dantian and the power of his soul. Originally, these three distinct parts, clearly separated and maintaining a distance from each other, were now showing signs of merging together.
When essence, energy, and spirit are united, one can condense the primordial elixir.
As the saying goes, "when the melon is ripe, it falls from the vine," everything happened naturally, and Chen Yang didn't even deliberately try to refine them.
His current accumulation is enough to condense the elixir.
If he doesn't actively try to condense his core, his body will help him do so.
With one's essence, energy, and spirit nearly perfect, further cultivation would hardly yield any further progress.
"Having accumulated enough power, I will condense the core today! I hope to condense the most perfect Yuan Core." Chen Yang said slowly with his eyes closed, holding great expectations for himself.
After saying this, he activated his inner magic, forcefully injecting the divine power of his Xuanhuang Dao Body and the spiritual power of his soul into his dantian.
At this moment, his dantian still presented a Taiji circle, with the yin and yang fish chasing each other and rotating endlessly.
When the physical body's divine power and the soul's power were injected, in an instant, the dantian was like a divine lamp lit up, or like gasoline poured into a flame, and the flames shot into the sky in an instant.
The intense light blinded people; even Chen Yang, using his divine vision to look inside, couldn't see anything for a moment, only a vast expanse of white.
The essence, energy, and spirit seemed to be undergoing some kind of chemical reaction, rapidly merging into one, producing a sound like a raging storm.
The sacred light from his dantian even burst out of his body, transforming into a huge Tai Chi light ball that enveloped Chen Yang entirely.
And the aura emanating from him suddenly surged by a large margin.
The process of condensing the elixir is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it takes time.
To some extent, it can be understood as a crystallization chemical reaction.
Chemical crystallization begins with the formation of a crystal nucleus, which then slowly grows until a crystal is formed.
The same applies to condensing the core; it cannot be accomplished overnight, nor can a core be formed instantly.
Chen Yang sat motionless, his eyes tightly closed, like an old monk in deep meditation. The divine power of his Xuanhuang Dao Body and the spiritual power in his sea of consciousness continuously poured into his dantian.
At the same time, the primordial energy of heaven and earth above his head surged down like a funnel, frantically pouring into his body.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Is this human brat going to drain all the spiritual energy in this secret realm? What am I going to do if he does?!"
Within the Dragon Pool Secret Realm, the old ginseng of Changbai Mountain saw a primordial energy storm enveloping the entire Dragon Pool Secret Realm above the mountain where Chen Yang was in seclusion, frantically pouring primordial energy into the mountain.
The vital energy of heaven and earth that was poured into the mountain must have been absorbed by Chen Yang.
This is too scary!
He's determined to absorb all the vital energy of this secret realm by himself.
Chen Yang's concerns about the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain were not unfounded, but he ultimately did not do so.
In just a quarter of an hour, when a Yuan Dan was successfully condensed, Chen Yang dispersed the Yuan Qi storm that filled the sky.
The divine light emanating from him gradually subsided, and the turbulent sounds within him gradually calmed down.
At this moment, he looked like an ordinary big boy, just a bit handsome and with a good physique, nothing special otherwise.
Looking inward at the dantian, one can see that the surging true essence there, which was like a vast ocean, has almost completely disappeared, replaced by a primordial elixir.
Visually, this Yuan Dan was about the size of a ping-pong ball, golden in color, and had a crystal-clear texture. The divine energy inside surged, as if some kind of chemical reaction was constantly taking place. With just the slightest stimulation, it could unleash a surging torrent of power.
Don't underestimate the Yuan Dan just because it's small, only the size of a ping-pong ball. The divine energy inside is comparable to that of a nuclear reactor, and it could easily control an aircraft carrier and break through the sky.
Buzz!
Chen Yang felt that his limbs, internal organs, every bone, every inch of flesh, and every cell were filled with an inexplicable divine power, making him full of energy and spirit.
His soul and body appeared unchanged, but in reality, they were intricately connected with the primordial core in his dantian, forming a close bond.
If he were to throw a punch now, it wouldn't just be physical strength; even without deliberate activation, the power of his soul and the power of his primordial core would also be added.
The entire body has become an organic whole, where a change in one part affects the whole.
This is how terrifying Yuan Dan is.
To some extent, the Yuan Dan realm can be considered a separate realm, somewhere between the Divine Realm and the Golden Core realm.
Because the Yuan Dan has already surpassed the Divine Realm and belongs to the realm above the Divine Realm.
However, compared to a true Golden Core, a Yuan Core is far too fragile. Unlike a Golden Core, which is proven once and for all, a Yuan Core carries the risk of dissolving and may not be able to withstand the tribulation of lightning.
Therefore, classifying the Yuan Dan as the Jin Dan is somewhat misleading.
To be precise, Yuan Dan can be considered a half-step Golden Core.
Once a Yuan Dan is condensed, it is not necessary to undergo tribulation immediately, nor is it likely to attract lightning tribulation at once. Instead, it requires a period of refinement to polish the Yuan Dan to the point of perfection, thereby increasing the probability of successfully undergoing tribulation and improving the grade of the Golden Core.
Of course, there are also some extraordinary geniuses who, the moment they condense their Yuan Dan (primordial core), can achieve a communion with the heavens and earth, summoning a tribulation of lightning. This is because their Yuan Dan is powerful and perfect enough.
However, such prodigies are extremely rare, practically as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Moreover, the golden cores obtained by such prodigies are often of high grade, ranging from the upper three grades to even higher grades.
He may even be a promising candidate to attain the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
"My Yuan Dan should be considered pretty good, right?"
Chen Yang looked inward at the Yuan Dan in his dantian, a shimmering sphere the size of a ping-pong ball, and a motherly smile appeared on his face.
It's so gratifying when hard work pays off!
That Yuan Dan was crystal clear, golden and translucent, truly perfect.
If you look closely, you can even see a yin-yang symbol inside.
"My Yuan Dan, could it be the so-called Tai Chi Yuan Dan?" Chen Yang chuckled to himself, because he discovered that there really was a Tai Chi pattern in the Yuan Dan, and it was a three-dimensional Yin-Yang diagram.
Actually, he wasn't too surprised, because it was the Yin-Yang twin innate Yin of the Wu sisters that helped him achieve the Great Fusion of True Essence, where True Essence of various attributes merged into one, transforming into a new True Essence.
Moreover, when he condensed his primordial elixir, the true essence in his dantian manifested as a yin-yang taiji diagram.
"I've been in seclusion for seven months, and Xianglian's wife should be giving birth soon, so I have to go back."
Suddenly remembering this, Chen Yang prepared to leave the pass and go home.
He promised Li Xianglian that he would try his best to return when the child was born.
Having successfully condensed his primordial core and completed his cultivation, he had achieved his goal.
As for his next step, he also has plans to attain the Golden Core stage.
His personal hope is to undergo tribulation at the Kunlun Immortal Sect, because the laws of heaven and earth there are more complete than those of the mortal world, and the spiritual energy of the Great Dao is more abundant. If he undergoes tribulation, the grade of the Golden Core he attains will be higher.
boom!
He stood up, feeling an explosion of divine power within his body. Boundless divine light suddenly emanated from his body, making him look like a god.
When he arrived outside the cave, all the creatures in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm were alarmed.
Boom boom boom!
That immense aura filled every inch of space between heaven and earth, causing all the creatures in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm to kneel down and worship him.
"Hey, human boy, when are you leaving? You've caused a lot of trouble for the creatures here these past few months, do you know that?"
Unlike other creatures that feared Chen Yang like a tiger, the Changbai Mountain Ginseng took the initiative to stand up, criticize Chen Yang's faults, and even seemed to be telling him to leave, urging him to leave quickly.
At this moment, Chen Yang clenched his right fist slightly, feeling the endless power within his body, which was like the furnace of the sun god, and suddenly threw a punch out from mid-air.
They completely ignored the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain!
boom!
A golden fist imprint, like a comet streaking across the sky, left a long trail of light, moving at extreme speed.
In a negligible amount of time, a mountain a kilometer away was blasted apart, its massive peak reduced in height by about a hundred meters, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open, with countless fragments of rock flying in all directions.
This destructive power is absolutely comparable to a super-heavy bunker buster missile; a single strike could destroy a city.
Ordinary missiles simply do not possess this destructive power.
"Not bad, not bad!" Chen Yang himself was slightly surprised.
It's important to know that he didn't throw that punch with his full strength; it was just a casual swipe.
However, after condensing the Yuan Dan, his physical body, true essence, and divine soul had become one, so that a change in one part would affect the whole. Therefore, although it was just a casual punch just now, it also attracted the Yuan Dan, causing it to release energy in an instant, like a small universe exploding, with its power multiplied.
