Chapter 139: The Core Formation Realm (2)
Opening his eyes again, he found himself floating across a vast blankness, with his body the only thing he can see, a weird phenomenon given the fact that there\'s not a single source of light in this place.
As he roams this place around, he starts feeling something coming out of his very being, an extreme confidence at the fact that he\'s the master of this emptiness.
Waving his hand to test this conjecture, a hot ball of gas poofs into existence, its blinding light not even bothering him a bit.
Observing the rotating sun while nodding, he finally proves this conjecture, deciding to act however he pleases and creating a world completely unique to him, using his own comprehension of the rules of nature to set the laws and regulations of this world.
With a wave of a hand, a cosmos explodes into existence, expanding and transforming into myriad of things, observing everything happening though an absolute being\'s perspective, repeating this process time and time again as if to search for something, something that he fails to find despite all his attempts.
As he continues creating worlds, cosmos and universes, it finally reaches the point that he decides to just do whatever he wants, creating multitudes of universes and making them collide with each other, watching the spectacle with anticipation as he wonders what it would produce, whether a trash or a treasure.
Surprisingly from this attempt, he managed to create a continent just floating in this emptiness, the massive island floating across the void large enough to consider his current home world, the Sky Soul Star as just a satellite if its revolving around it.
Looking at the island, still desolate and chaotic, Wu Xiaotian couldn\'t help but smile, determined that he already found what he\'s searching for, the intermingling of the forces of nature surrounding this massive island resembling that of the real world, yet also acquiesce with his unique comprehension of the dao and rules of nature.
\'This is it\' he thought confidently while looking at the island with a face filled with joy, his mind getting pulled back to his body the moment he confirmed his thought, disappearing from the mysterious land, only appearing on it again in the far future.
As he regains his senses and returned to the world, Wu Xiaotian feels something in his solar plexus, the very same place where an inactive core formed when he first cultivated. .net
Peering inside this core, he saw the floating island he created in that endless blank, making him smile as he thought that repeatedly creating and destroying worlds, even universes, in that place is more than worth it if he will get what he thinks is the most suitable one for him in the end.
After pulling his senses out of that core, he continues cultivating as the notification of him achieving the Core Formation Realm has yet to appear, prompting him to focus on the other locations in his body where qi is being gathered at an extremely fast rate.
As he splits his attention across all of those spots, the qi within those areas started solidifying, creating spherical objects that starts filling up with qi, compressing the qi entering inside them more and more while still absorbing a fraction of the qi in the surrounding to fortify themselves further, the process lasting for a while before it enters the next stage.
Once those new cores slow down on their absorption of qi, another transformation takes place on Wu Xiaotian\'s body, surge of strength spreading all across every cell in his body, making him feel high on power, his senses working on overdrive, making him feel the most minute changes the cores he formed are doing in his entire being.
As all of this is happening, the nine other cores are also starting to transform the qi gathered inside them, morphing the massive amount of qi into islands being the exact same copy of the original one in the core located in his solar plexus, the replicated floating islands also exhibiting the same rules and orders as the one in his first core.
After this wave of improvements, the nine cores finally settled on different parts of his body, two of them moving to his sternum, one on the upper part and one on the lower part, those two making him feel immense vigor flowing through his blood as well as absurd toughness in his bones.
On top of it, another core seems to seamlessly fuse across his entire skin, increasing his defensive power even further.
Another one of them is located inside his heart, the circulation of his qi improving countless times compared to how it was before, and on the opposite side of it, another core is located making his entire body feel extremely great, the great feeling improving even further as another core places itself just below his lower dantian, drastically improving the performance of all of his organs, meanwhile, his lower dantian is occupied by another core as well, increasing his affinity and control to the ambient qi in his surroundings.
In his head, two other cores are located, one beneath his nape, fueling the muscles all throughout his body, and one in the middle of his brain, his soul power skyrocketing due to its existence.
All nine of them are directly connected to what he dubbed as his \'True Core\', the original core he has, the one located in his solar plexus, the connection between them creating a harmonious cycle where each of the cores takes in the ambient qi in the surrounding, feeding it to the True Core where it is eventually refined, and then the True Core returning the refined qi to the other cores, all of them continuously improving even without Wu Xiaotian actively cultivating himself.
"This is really absurd" he muttered while feeling his body which is continuously growing stronger every second. While this feeling is extremely fleeting and minimal, Wu Xiaotian is among the people who understands the concept of success being the sum of small efforts the most, and this feeling of continuously growing stronger is already more than enough to make him satisfied.
"Not to mention my increase in stats" he added as he stands up from his position, the pressure coming from the thirteenth layer previously no longer affecting him now, his body feeling as light as feather as he moves across the entire thirteenth layer and crosses the border to the fourteenth layer.
"Of course that would be the result" Wu Xiaotian thought to himself as he wakes up in the familiar room where him, along with his mother and grandmother sleeps, getting kicked out of the Infinite Qi Dimension due to him getting killed by the terrifying waves of qi in the fourteenth layer.
