"Ah!" A man's earth-shattering howl echoed through the cave, filled with anguish.

  The colorful spiritual cloud in the sky, as if summoned by this whistle, suddenly trembled and transformed into a five-colored spiritual light about one zhang thick, straight down into the cloudy mist of the cave.

  After a brief moment of fragrance, the colorful spiritual cloud completely entered the cave and disappeared!

  As the Lingyun Tianxiang disappeared, the sky within a hundred miles returned to its clear and cloudless state. The unfortunate cultivator who was pressed down by the Tianxiang and couldn't get up also managed to stand up, patted his butt, and flew away with a hint of fear.

  Not far away, the early-stage Qi-refining girl Chen Shuiyi looked at the rolling clouds and fog in front of the cave with a look of envy. She had heard that the most critical step in breaking through the bottleneck was to attract the heavenly spiritual energy into her body. If she succeeded, she would basically be a Dan-forming stage cultivator, and all she needed to do was respond well to the upcoming heart demon and solidify her cultivation.

  If it fails, the Five-Colored Spiritual Cloud will burst in mid-air and retransform into the Five Elements Spiritual Energy to disperse among the heavens and earth. In that case, this person's attempt at breaking through would end in failure, and next time they try to break through the bottleneck of forming the elixir, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

  "It seems that the person in the cave has already reached the stage of forming a dan for 17 or 18 years. I don't know what kind of grudge he has with the old master of the sect, but he actually ordered the younger generation of the sect to take turns monitoring him here for 30 years. Even the monks who were monitoring have been replaced batch after batch. Now that this person has successfully formed a dan, I wonder if they will continue to monitor him! If we are discovered by this senior who has formed a dan and he gets angry, us foundation-building cultivators will not be able to withstand his anger!" The girl's heart was racing like a deer, thinking about these things with some worry.

  At this time, Zhao Di in the cave was sitting with a serious expression.

  He is experiencing the extremely terrifying demon trials in the rumors. However, due to the incredibly miraculous effect of the Heart-Calming Pill, those originally heart-piercingly frightening scenes that could have pierced his deepest soul are now unfolding before him like watching a fire from across the shore. Although these scenes were all the most feared and unwilling conclusions deep within his heart, and each time they appeared exceptionally realistic and believable, thanks to the effect of the Heart-Calming Pill, he maintained a thread of clarity, constantly reminding himself that everything passing through his mind was just an illusion created by the demon trials. In this way, although the demon trials were terrifying, they could not pose much threat to him!

  For him, the most difficult step was still to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.

  After more than 20 years of practicing the second round of Hunyuan Gong, he started the second impact on the Dan Ding neck two years ago.

  This impact was unexpectedly smooth, and after absorbing a large amount of five-element spiritual energy, he tried to compress and solidify it in his dantian. As a result, after several months, the true yuan in his dantian suddenly showed a tendency to solidify! Zhao Di was overjoyed and continued to refine the five-element spiritual energy without stopping, transforming it into true yuan in his body, and then continuing to compress and solidify. Not long after today, he finally compressed and solidified all the true yuan, triggering the formation of the elixir, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of nearly 100 miles into a five-colored cloud.

  At this time, Zhao Di's dantian was exceptionally empty, and the newly solidified true yuan might turn back into liquid true yuan at any moment. It was precisely at this time that a large amount of spiritual energy was needed to irrigate his body!

  However, Zhao painfully operated the Hunyuan Jue Gong Fa several times, but those five-colored spiritual clouds refused to descend into his body.

  As he couldn't bear the severe pain in his dantian, after a long howl, almost in despair, he suddenly welcomed a large amount of spiritual energy pouring down from the air, five-colored spiritual clouds turned into five-colored light pillars falling on him, and more than half of the spiritual power was absorbed into his dantian. With this massive replenishment of heavenly spiritual energy, Zhao's crisis in his dantian was resolved!

  He skillfully transformed these highly compressed and extremely pure heavenly spiritual energies into his own True Essence, quickly condensing a purple inner elixir the size of an inch in his lower abdomen, which was exactly the Hunyuan Golden Elixir recorded in the Jade Classic!

  But then the heart demon training began.

  Relying on the extraordinary Heart Purification Pill, Zhao passed through the Heart Demon's trial relatively easily and officially became another existence in the Cultivation World who had formed a Golden Core!

  Years of dreams have finally come true, and it's no exaggeration to describe Zhao Di's mood at this moment as ecstatic.

  However, he did not leave the cave after that, but instead continued to meditate in the quiet room.

  In the "Hunyuan Jue" qigong practice, the Hunyuan Golden Elixir that has just condensed is even more unstable than a normal single Five Elements attribute Golden Elixir. Without two or three years of sitting meditation to further stabilize one's cultivation, it would be impossible to engage in a magical duel with a cultivator of the same level!

  He followed the seventh layer of Hunyuan Jue and began to practice the initial stage of Dan formation. He still had some fifth-grade demon pills, although they were no longer effective for his current cultivation level, but it was better than nothing. Under the effect of some top-grade solid yuan dan and high-grade spirit stones, he patiently practiced.

  In a distant place tens of miles away from the cave, Chen Shuiyi, a young girl with an elegant and refined appearance in the early stages of foundation building, was reporting to a middle-aged man with half of his head being bald, who had reached the initial stage of condensing dan. Beside her stood seven or eight young or middle-aged cultivators, all of whom were below the intermediate stage of foundation building.

  After the girl finished her report, the bald middle-aged man showed a displeased expression and immediately gave several more orders. The girl and others responded with difficulty.

  Then the bald middle-aged man left quickly. Only a few foundation-building monks were left on the spot, sighing and groaning, with a helpless and dare-not-speak expression.

  Zhao Di would never have thought that his quiet cultivation over the past few years had allowed him to effortlessly avoid a huge trouble.

  Five years later, a certain place in the waist of Yuqing Peak Mountain was shrouded in dense clouds and fog. Suddenly, a blue light about one foot thick shot out from a cave, and the turbulent cloud sea also rolled neatly to both sides, revealing a passage about ten feet wide.

  A handsome young man in purple clothes slowly walked out of the corridor, who was Zhao Di, who had been in seclusion for many years.

  At this time he finally ended his closed-door meditation and stepped out of the cave that had been still for over thirty years!

  He let out a deep breath and suddenly felt as if he was in a different world!

  Thirty-five years, so many stories of right and wrong, so many joys and sorrows, yet he quietly passed away in just one closed-door meditation! Cultivation knows no time!

  Just as he was about to transform into a divine light and escape, he suddenly furrowed his brow. At this moment, his divine sense detected that more than ten miles away, a Foundation Building cultivator was flying towards him.

  Turning his head to look, there was indeed a woman in white clothes floating towards him from afar, loudly saying: "Senior, please stay your steps, I have something to ask of you!"

  The woman's voice was pleasant to hear, and Zhao, out of curiosity, did not refuse, quietly staying in his original position.

  The young girl flew in and stopped dozens of feet away, bowed her head and kneeled down, saying with a smile: "Senior, please wait for a moment. There is an elder from our sect named Ma who has been looking forward to meeting you! Please wait for just a moment, the elder will be here soon!"

  Zhao thought for a moment, confirming that he had never met a Taoist priest with the surname Ma before. He coldly said: "I have never had any dealings with your esteemed Master Ma, I appreciate his kind intentions, please convey my thanks, but I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot wait any longer!" As he spoke, his body slightly swayed, and he was about to fly away.

  The young girl hastily bowed and said, "Please wait for a moment, senior. If you leave now, I will be severely punished! Please have mercy!" The girl's delicate and refined face showed an anxious and fearful expression, her bright eyes even had tears welling up, making people feel both love and pity for her.

  "Which sect are you from?" Zhao Di asked cautiously and lightly.

  "I am a disciple of the Hai Men sect. Our sect is just a small one, so it's normal if you haven't heard of it before!" The young girl said with a bow, then hastily added: "Elder Ma specifically instructed me to tell you that he has something to discuss with you, and this matter will bring you great benefits without any harm!"

  "Come on in!" Zhao Di's expression changed suddenly after hearing these words, and he said with a slight smile: "Alright! I'll wait quietly for a moment, but only within half an hour. If the honorable Master Ma of your sect still doesn't arrive, I won't wait any longer!"

  The young girl was overjoyed, and her face lit up with a bright smile. She bowed her head in gratitude, saying: "Half an hour is already enough, thank you so much for your understanding, senior!"

  Zhao waved his hand, indicating that the girl didn't need to be so polite.

  The girl stood up and found that the senior in front of her, who looked very young, was looking at her with a gentle gaze, his face slightly red, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

  The first update!
