第两千九百九十章 进阶渡劫(下)

On this day, Lin Xuan, who had remained motionless for a long time, finally opened his eyes. [Latest Chapter]

He was still sitting in the lotus position, but his expression was noticeably more relaxed than before.

In fact, it could be said that he wore an expression of sheer joy.

Although the arduous path of cultivation had long tempered Lin Xuan's character to be resilient and steadfast, with emotions hidden beneath a calm exterior, there were no absolutes in life. Or perhaps, there would always be exceptions.

And this was one such exception.

After enduring countless hardships and facing numerous twists and turns, Lin Xuan finally managed to advance into the Tribulation Transcending Stage, a stage that all cultivators aspired to reach.

Reflecting on his past, how could he not feel myriad emotions? He had endured countless trials and tribulations to reach this point. Now that his heart's desire was fulfilled, how could he not be overjoyed?

Lin Xuan did not immediately stand up. At the moment, he was using Inner Vision to examine his dantian.

Stars shone brilliantly as his essence energy flowed. After advancing into the Tribulation Transcending Stage, everything within his dantian seemed different from before.

Firstly, there was the place where his essence energy was stored. Originally a small lake, although its area was vast, it remained just that—a lake. However, now this small lake had transformed into an endless sea.

Yes, a sea, boundless and unending, but not the blue hue of reality. Instead, it was a shimmering five-colored glass, with dazzling hues constantly changing.

Unlike ordinary cultivators, Lin Xuan's essence energy attributes were not fixed; he could summon and command earth, water, fire, wind, and metal essence energies at will. Thus, the essence energy in this sea exhibited vibrant colors.

The sea was boundless, and after advancing into the Tribulation Transcending Stage, Lin Xuan’s essence energy had grown exponentially compared to before, thickening to an immeasurable degree.

However, the most striking change did not lie within his dantian. The most eye-catching sight was the blue Star Sea, now a silvery hue.

Yes, silver; there were no longer any blue light points in this sea, replaced by dazzling silver ones. These points were far more advanced than their blue counterparts.

They were brilliant and captivating!

The Five-Heaven Seal still floated quietly inside.

Now calling it the Blue Star Sea was somewhat misleading, as such changes left Lin Xuan somewhat stunned. Although he had long known that the Star Sea could grow with his cultivation level and essence energy strength, seeing all light points turn silver after his advancement into the Tribulation Transcending Stage was still unexpected.

But despite the initial shock, there was joy. Such changes were beneficial without any drawbacks for him.

From every angle, Lin Xuan was delighted by this development.

Lin Xuan did not pay much attention to the changes in the Silver Star Sea at that moment; his main focus was on his yuan婴 (core spirit).

Unlike ordinary cultivators, Lin Xuan’s experiences were unique, and he practiced multiple techniques. While it might be considered chaotic, he had a far broader range of knowledge than most cultivators.

For instance, having two cores and one pill was rare even in the Three Realms, let alone succeeding at it. After all, ascending to Immortality was no easy feat; elevating his main core spirit was already challenging enough.

The secondary core spirit, once formed, would indeed bring many benefits, but mastering it was far from simple. It could be a waste of effort!

Most cultivators agreed with this view. Moreover, higher-stage cultivators looked down upon simultaneously refining two cores, which is why techniques for cultivating the second core were not considered significant secrets in the Spirit Realm.

Of course, saying they were nonexistent would be too extreme, but it was indeed rare.

Like Lin Xuan, who had condensed a demon core outside his two main cores, this was truly uncommon.

Lin Xuan dared to do so partly due to certain coincidences and mainly because the Blue Star Sea’s purifying effects made his conditions better than those of other cultivators. With the help of spirit pills and elixirs, he could save much time.

Setting aside these points, this advancement into the Tribulation Transcending Stage meant that Lin Xuan would not be able to advance both cores and one pill simultaneously.

This breakthrough was for his main core spirit. Thanks to the Blue Star Sea’s assistance, Lin Xuan had better conditions than ordinary cultivators, but effort was still necessary. He could not rush into refining two cores and one pill; it needed to proceed in a clear hierarchy.

In simple terms, he focused on the primary core first, which was naturally his main concern.

After enduring countless trials, he finally succeeded in advancing.

Compared to his secondary core spirit beside him, there were obvious differences. After advancing into the Tribulation Transcending Stage, his essence energy had increased significantly, and his physical body had undergone an Easy Essence Washing effect. However, the most significant difference was that cultivators at this stage truly achieved great accomplishments with their core spirits.

What did it mean for a core spirit to be fully accomplished?

Simply put, it meant breaking free from bodily constraints; even if the core spirit left its body, it could still unleash immense power. Although externally, there might not seem any difference, his strength was incomparable to when he entered the state of Shen Shi (split consciousness). Tribulation Transcending cultivators could manipulate heavenly laws largely due to their fully accomplished core spirits.

After this advancement, Lin Xuan’s main core spirit had grown immensely thick. His every movement seemed to be infused with immense essence energy.

After a thorough examination, Lin Xuan was satisfied with the result. Then his attention shifted to an object beside him.

True Spirit Flame!

Of course, it had been greatly reduced in size.

Eating this substance indeed brought about the Easy Essence Washing effect as expected. However, unexpectedly, after refining his body, True Spirit Flame did not disappear; rather, it still existed within his dantian.

Lin Xuan was stunned but a hint of unease flashed across his face.

While advancing smoothly was certainly joyful, having True Spirit Flame lingering in his dantian was indeed a significant隐患 (hazard).

After all, the importance of the dantian to cultivators was self-evident. And since he could not control this True Spirit Flame, how could Lin Xuan feel at ease with it remaining there?

He must find a way to get rid of it.

With his mind racing, Lin Xuan began to try.

To be honest, he felt somewhat uneasy about this situation, as he had never encountered such a scenario before. He was also well aware of the dangers posed by True Spirit Flame.

If possible, Lin Xuan really did not want to deal with that entity. But now, he had no choice but to do so.

Lin Xuan extended his divine sense outwards. (To be continued)
