The spiritual root separated from the body, solidified in the air, and formed a translucent red crystal that shimmered faintly in the dim light of day.
Tian Xuanzi didn't bother to heal the wound on his chest, leaving it exposed to the air. He simply lifted it up and patted Tong Su's back!
Tong Su trembled all over!
It was as if something filled her empty and weak body, burning hot and warm. The little firebird chirped and transformed into a ball of golden-red flame, rushing into her dantian.
The meridians flowed into the dried-up rivers, infusing them with spiritual energy absorbed from the air. Sweet rain fell, soaking the earth and converging into a mighty river. The flowing energy surged through the meridians into the dantian, where the spiritual energy circulated automatically and quickly formed a rich spiritual mass within the dantian.
Tong Su's face showed surprise. When she looked up, she saw that the sky and earth were faintly moving with wind and clouds. Demonic energy was flowing away, while spiritual energy was gathering. As if being drawn together, it formed a strange scene of colorful clouds and flowing wind above her head, intertwined with the spiritual energy.
The disciples of Ziwei Heavenly Palace and the demonic cultivators all stared wide-eyed. One of them exclaimed in surprise, "Is this an auspicious sign of Core Formation? No, that's not right, how could it be Core Formation?"
"If it's called Core Formation, the auspicious aura is somewhat lacking. But if it's called Foundation Establishment—how could Foundation Establishment possibly attract celestial phenomena and form auspicious spiritual energy?"
"Is it because her talent is so exceptional that it's truly enviable—"
Tian Xuanzi said calmly, "You seem quite curious."
The disciples shuddered, their heated minds instantly clearing. Remembering their predicament, they immediately shrank back in fear, their eyes darting away as they lowered their heads.
Those demonic cultivators, who were highly skilled, gradually realized what was happening and their eyes widened in horror.
"No, it's because she fused with the Venerable One's spiritual root! Spiritual roots cannot be separated from good or evil, and they don't carry cultivation, but the Venerable One is, after all, a Mahayana cultivator, so he can naturally make up for all the deficiencies in her talent, giving her the strongest talent!"
"Then how high will her future achievements be! When she becomes a demon, our demon realm will have another amazingly talented new star!"
"As expected of Your Majesty, your plans are truly profound. We are in awe!"
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone bowed deeply to Tian Xuanzi: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on gaining such a fine general!"
Faced with the worship of the demonic cultivators, Tian Xuanzi scoffed lightly and ignored them, focusing on looking at Tong Su, who was in his arms with her eyes closed, merging with the spiritual root.
Tong Su was in a state of great distress.
She could almost feel her meridians being stretched, repaired, and gradually widened by the immense spiritual energy, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, forming a vast sea of spiritual energy in her dantian...
Her Foundation Establishment stage cultivation has been fully restored!
And it's not just about recovery.
Tian Xuanzi's spiritual root was the result of countless trials and tribulations during his thousand-year Mahayana cultivation.
Resonating with the Golden Crow Firebird within her body, powerful fire-elemental spiritual energy flowed through her meridians. She could feel an extremely pure and powerful force even when she clenched her fist!
—Peak of Foundation Establishment!
She was only one step away from the Golden Core stage. Compared to her previous cultivation level, although it wasn't a world of difference, it was still an extraordinary leap, the result of countless years of arduous cultivation that others could only achieve.
"You did a great job."
Tian Xuanzi released the restriction on Tong Su and praised her softly: "A Tong is amazing. She has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. Once she goes into seclusion and forms her core, she will be the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the last few hundred years."
The demon cultivators wore expressions of pride and honor.
The process of forming the Golden Core takes anywhere from a few months to a few years, but it will always be completed before the age of twenty. Becoming a Golden Core cultivator at such an age is a rare occurrence in the world over the past few hundred years.
Looking across the world, the last legendary achievement of forming the Golden Core within the age of twenty was created by the Venerable Lord a thousand years ago!
When that time comes, their demon realm will have another genius. The righteous path will be green with envy and regret it to death, hahaha...
