Chapter 518: Chapter 259: Late-stage Golden Core, Thrilling Immortal Mountain_2

Even though Han Yi had only just broken through to the late-stage Golden Core, this place was peculiar and not of the Yu Heng World, he had no idea whether the Heavenly Demons beyond the realm here were the same as those outside of the Yu Heng World realm, so he was prepared for all eventualities.

Upon taking three pills to exorcise evil spirits, Han Yi cut off a piece of spiritual fruit and swallowed it. The energy flowed through his hundred meridians and converged in his Spirit Sea.

Inside the Spirit Sea, the semi-crystalline magic power, which had originally only covered the bottom layer, had now risen halfway up the Spirit Sea, not far from the Golden Core that hovered above.

When the semi-crystallized magic power broke through to cover half of the Spirit Sea, the entire Spirit Sea trembled slightly.

Then, as if spurred by some invisible law, it began to change.

Firstly, the semi-crystalline magic power began to condense, sinking, transforming from its semi-crystal form to a genuine magical power crystal.

This process was typically slow, however, with the energy continually pooling into the Spirit Sea from the spiritual fruit, and touched by this external factor, the crystal of magical power quickly solidified at a rate much faster than usual for cultivators breaking through to the late-stage Golden Core.

After two hours, it had completely solidified into crystal magic power.

Then, the second transformation began. The crystal magic power was no longer settling at the bottom of the Spirit Sea, but started to float upwards towards the dazzling Golden Core above.

Upon contact with the Golden Core, it would merge into it.

As more and more crystal magic power merged into the Golden Core, the momentum of the Golden Core became increasingly strong.

Even though the size of the crystal magic power greatly exceeded that of the Golden Core, the Golden Core swallowed it all up, like a bottomless black hole, without any rejection.

Once all the crystallized magic power in the Spirit Sea had been absorbed by the Golden Core, the Golden Core slowly rose, from its original position floating above the Spirit Sea, directly to the top of the Spirit Sea, ending up only a step away from the top barrier of the Spirit Sea.

Boom!

The Spirit Sea trembled violently, and the undigested spiritual fruit instantly turned into energy, then became crystal magic power, gathering at the bottom of the Spirit Sea again.

In the outside world, Han Yi felt certain that, when his Golden Core finally hovered stably at the highest level of his Spirit Sea, it signified his breakthrough to the late-stage Golden Core.

In the Golden Core Realm, the transformation of magic power and the change in the Golden Core are the main differences from the early stage to the mid-stage, and then to the late stage.

In terms of magical power, it evolves from liquid to semi-crystal, and then to a full crystal. The Golden Core, on the other hand, begins to move towards the top of the Spirit Sea after absorbing the crystal magical power, and comes to be just a step away from the barrier at the top.

Inside the human body’s hidden treasures, in the next step of breaking through to the Nascent Soul, the Spirit Sea would connect with the Sea of Consciousness, and the Golden Core and Divine Soul would merge, transforming into a Nascent Soul.

Of course, the step from the peak of the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stopped numerous Gold Core cultivators. Even among cultivators from sacred places, the chances of success were extremely small. Even Li Dongli had spent a hundred years in vain, and had to re-enter the Fragmented Immortal World to try and find some Immortal Affinity.

In realm terms, after breaking through to the late-stage Golden Core, the changes in Han Yi’s body did not end.

The changes in the Golden Core belonged to the transformation of the Spirit Sea, and the Sea of Consciousness also changed as the Golden Core gradually approached.

The entire Sea of Consciousness expanded rapidly, stretching slightly downward to get closer to the Spirit Sea.

This was an interaction between the body’s two hidden treasures, preparing for eventual mutual integration.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the black bead that hung high above vibrated slightly after feeling the change, then resumed its original state, showing no abnormalities.

As the Spirit Sea and the Sea of Consciousness calmed down, Han Yi did not let down his guard, but became even more serious.

Next was the Heavenly Demon Calamity.

However, having already taken three pills of perfect quality to exorcise evil spirits, his aura was masked by the pills’ aura. Even the Heavenly Demon Lord, Han Yi did not fear.

A moment passed, and Han Yi remained alert.

Tow moments went by, Han Yi’s eyebrows knitted slightly.

Three moments, four moments…

It wasn’t until three full minutes had passed that Han Yi was sure that not only was there no Heavenly Demon Calamity in this Fragmented Immortal World, but the cracks that led to the realms beyond hadn’t even opened.

“That’s strange, it shouldn’t be.”

“There’s no Heavenly Demon Calamity in the Fragmented Immortal World.”

“Could it be that when the Immortal Realm fragmented years ago, some strange change took place, causing this part of the Fragmented Immortal World to not connect to the Outer World Heavenly Demons?”

“Or could it be that this kind of breakthrough, where no Heavenly Demon arrives, is the way it’s supposed to be?”

Han Yi’s brows furrowed.

In the Yu Heng World, whenever one broke through a realm, there was always the arrival of a Heavenly Demon. Han Yi had accepted this, but always felt something was off about it.

No.

It wasn’t just him who found it strange, the entire Cultivation World felt something was off. However, over the long centuries, this rule had gradually been accepted by the whole Cultivation World. Even those who felt it was strange didn’t have the ability to investigate or change it.

But now.

Han Yi’s doubts re-emerged as she broke through in this part of the Fragmented Immortal World, where at the point when the cracks to the Heavenly Demon should have appeared, they did not.

If the rules of the Fragmented Immortal World had changed, there would be nothing more to say.

But if the condition in the Fragmented Immortal World, with no Heavenly Demons, is the way it’s supposed to be, and the situation in the Yu Heng World and the Beidou Region with Heavenly Demons visiting each time one breaks through a realm only started after the Immortal Realm fragmented, then there would be a big problem.

Immediately, Han Yi shook his head.

This kind of problem involving the laws of heaven and earth was something not even a Spirit Transformation Expert could necessarily know, let alone him. He just had to keep this doubt in his heart for now.
