His forehead was sweating profusely, and his eyes were bloodshot. Lin Yi gritted his teeth and persevered. Taking a step forward might not be heaven, but if he took a step back, it would definitely be hell.
In this state, not only could his meridians explode at any time, but he was also only a step away from Qi Deviation.
This lasted for half an hour. With inhuman perseverance, Lin Yi channeled the terrifying vital energy in his body that had skyrocketed because of the Gold Core into his Dantian bit by bit.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this short half an hour gave Lin Yi the feeling that it was as long as half a century. Fortunately, he finally endured it.
However, this was far from the time to relax. Until now, everything he had done before was just preparatory work. After channeling all the vital energy into his Dantian, the next step was to condense the Gold Core.
The biggest difference between the so-called Gold Core Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage was that the Gold Core was condensed in the Dantian. This Gold Core would become the source of all the vital energy in the body. It was the symbol of a qualitative change from a Foundation Establishment Stage expert to a Gold Core Stage expert. At the same time, it was also the life of all Gold Core Stage experts.
The process of condensing the Gold Core could be said to be extremely difficult, but it could also be said to be easy. This was because there were not many techniques involved. It was to continuously condense and compress the huge amount of vital energy that had been channeled into the Dantian until it finally condensed into a solidified vital energy crystal. This was the Gold Core.
Generally speaking, if one could successfully endure the most dangerous step of channeling vital energy, then very few people would fail the step of condensing the Gold Core. However, even if everyone condensed the Gold Core, the gap between them was like heaven and earth, and this step directly determined their future strength and potential.
Some Gold Core Stage experts' Gold Cores were not solid and were called Void Cores. Their strength was among all Gold Core Stage experts, and they were naturally the weakest. There were other Gold Core Stage experts whose Gold Cores were as hard as stone and were called Solid Cores. Their strength was among all Gold Core Stage experts, and they were naturally first-rate experts.
Even if everyone practiced the same martial arts technique, the power of a Solid Core Stage expert was far stronger than that of a Void Core Stage expert. The root cause of all this was the quality of the Gold Core that was condensed.
Therefore … Although the step of condensing the Golden Core was not as dangerous as before, it was a crucial step that no one dared to take lightly. If they were to slack off or be careless at this time, they would not be able to make up for it later.
Any ambitious expert would not hope to condense a Void Core. Only by condensing a Solid Core would they be able to advance further and become one of the strongest experts. However … At this moment, what Lin Yi wanted to do was different from the others.
What he wanted to condense was not a Solid Core, but a Ten Thousand Dollar Core!
An ordinary Solid Core expert's Gold Core was as hard as a rock. However, the Ten Thousand Gold Core that Lin Yi was about to condense was of a higher level. It was as hard as meteoric iron!
And all of this required the assistance of the Star Inkstone. Only by absorbing the power of the stars and the power of the sea in the process of condensing a Golden Core could a true Ten Thousand Gold Core be condensed. This was a perfect breakthrough. Only then could one become the strongest Gold Core expert!
While slowly controlling the majestic vital energy in his Dantian and slowly condensing it, Lin Yi had to multitask. He used a portion of his vital energy to capture the power of the stars in the Star Inkstone and guide it into his Dantian. At the same time, he had to control his divine sense to gather the power of the sea and guide it into his Dantian.
Multitasking was extremely difficult for anyone. If there was even the slightest mistake in the process, it would result in failure. If it was light, he would not be able to condense the Ten Thousand Dollar Core. If it was heavy, he would fail to form his Core. His strength might even regress and he would never be able to break through again.
However, at this moment, Lin Yi's performance did not seem to be forced at all. Instead, it was methodical and rather steady.
In addition to Lin Yi's own talent, there was also the contribution of the ghost. Foundation Establishment experts generally did not know how to use their divine sense. The most difficult part of multitasking was using their divine sense to gather the power of the sea. If there was no guidance from a Primordial Spirit expert like him, Lin Yi would not have been able to do it so easily.
At this point, condensing the Golden Core was the final and crucial step. Lin Yi had thought that this breakthrough would be smooth sailing until he successfully condensed the Ten Thousand Dollar Core and achieved a perfect breakthrough. However, in the next moment, he realized that he had been too naive.
Condensing the Golden Core in his Dantian was not a problem. Using his divine sense to gather the power of the sea was the most difficult step, but it was also not a problem. What surprised Lin Yi the most was that the seemingly simple step of grabbing the power of the stars had a fatal accident!
In the instant that the power of the stars was drawn into his meridians, a huge hole suddenly appeared in his meridians. It had actually directly split open!
The incomparable pain and the shock of being caught off guard almost caused Lin Yi's body to completely lose control. The vital energy that had been condensed in his Dantian flowed into his meridians. It looked like he was about to go mad and cause a tragedy.
Fortunately, Lin Yi reacted at the last moment and forced his vital energy back. At the same time, he used his mental cultivation method to repair the split meridians. However, for the moment, he did not dare to continue grabbing the power of the stars from the Star Inkstone.
The special characteristic of the power of the stars was that it was extremely fierce and sharp. The reason his meridians had split open just now was because they were unable to endure its sharpness. This was not something that could be endured just by gritting his teeth. If this continued, Lin Yi believed that before he could condense the Myriad Gold Core, the meridians in his body would have been completely crippled by the power of the stars!
Amidst the lingering fear, Lin Yi could not help but feel a trace of joy. Fortunately, he had drawn in the power of the stars through his meridians. At least, he still had the chance to heal himself. If he had poured the power into his Dantian without hesitation, then what would have split open wouldn't have been his meridians, but his Dantian.
Once the Dantian was crippled, there wouldn't even be a chance to save himself. He would directly be reduced to a complete cripple.
However, even if this sort of tragedy hadn't occurred, Lin Yi still did not know what to do for the time being. Although that damn thing had taught him how to use the Star Inkstone, he had not personally used it after all. It was impossible for him to understand these details.
At present, there were only two choices left for Lin Yi. The first was to give up on the Star Inkstone and condense his Gold Core according to the rules. This was the safest method, but the price was that he would be unable to achieve a perfect breakthrough.
As for the last choice, it was to brace himself and continue grabbing the power of the stars. However, the final result was extremely likely to be failure in condensing his Gold Core, and he would become a cripple!
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment. He was absolutely unwilling to choose the first choice, but choosing the second was too dangerous. If he could not think of an effective solution, then he would simply be courting death. Floating Astronomy.
