Breakthrough to Core formation
In divine dragon continent, there are ten cultivation realms knowns as Qi gathering, Foundation establishment, Core formation, Golden core, Nascent soul, Spirit transformation, Void refinement, Immortal ascension, Transcendence and Ascendant initiation. And each having four tiers which are Lower tier, Middle tier, Upper tier and Peak tier.
Where the journey of cultivation begins for both human and beast alike, mythical beasts follow a distinct path of ascension, marked by their gradual evolution from mere animals to beings of significant power and intelligence and they are: Primal Awakening, Elemental Affinity, Spiritual Coalescence, Morphic resonance, Sentient awakening, Elemental Purity, Mystic Transformation, Sovereign Dominion, Celestial Ascendance and Dao Embodiment.
As Lin Feng stepped into the early dawn of his renewed cultivation journey, he found himself at the very beginning once more, standing at the lower tier of the Qi Gathering realm. The fall from grace, a descent that stripped him of his previous achievements, now seemed less like a punishment and more like the prologue to a greater destiny, one ordained by the celestial intervention of the Nine Tower Palace.
In the Qi Gathering realm, Lin Feng focused on rebuilding his connection to the ambient spiritual energy of the world. Unlike his peers, who struggled to sense and manipulate even the faintest strands of Qi, Lin Feng's experience and the latent power bestowed by the divine light allowed him to progress at an unprecedented pace. Within weeks, he had mastered the art of Qi manipulation, his body becoming a conduit for the spiritual energies of heaven and earth. His progress did not go unnoticed, drawing both awe and envy from those around him.
Armed with a profound understanding of the universe's laws from his encounter with the Nine Tower Palace, Lin Feng approached the Foundation Establishment with a clarity and purpose that far exceeded his previous life's achievements. He chose a secluded valley, resonant with the purest spiritual energies, to establish his foundation. There, he orchestrated the symphony of elemental forces, weaving them into a foundation of unparalleled strength and stability. This process, typically fraught with danger and uncertainty, unfolded under Lin Feng's control with the elegance and inevitability of the changing seasons. The moment his foundation was established, a surge of power echoed through the valley, marking Lin Feng's resurgence in the world of cultivation.
With a solid foundation, Lin Feng's journey to the Core Formation realm was a testament to his indomitable will and the unique path he carved for himself in the cultivation world. The creation of the core within his dantian was not merely an act of condensing Qi but a profound expression of his understanding of the Dao, influenced by the covenant of the Nine Tower Palace. Lin Feng's core was not just a reservoir of power; it was a microcosm of his journey, pulsating with the light of defiance and sovereignty.
Each breakthrough, from the lower tier of Qi Gathering to the lower tier of Core Formation, was marked by trials that would have deterred any ordinary cultivator. Yet, Lin Feng faced these challenges with a determination forged in the depths of despair and honed by the promise of his vow. The obstacles that lay in his path, whether they were rival cultivators, ancient beasts, or the limitations of his own body, were overcome with a combination of cunning, strength, and an unwavering belief in his destiny.
As Lin Feng stood at the threshold of the lower tier of Core Formation, his eyes gleamed with the light of countless stars, a reflection of the power he wielded and the heights he was destined to reach. The journey ahead was fraught with peril, with forces both mortal and divine aligning against him. Yet, Lin Feng was undeterred. He was no longer just a cultivator striving for personal power; he was a sovereign in the making, a force of nature that would bend the heavens themselves to his will.
