In the past, Lao Wang did not have an accurate understanding of spiritual pressure. He thought that it was a type of pressure similar to high gravity, but in reality, it was not.
This was just like how ordinary people inhaled oxygen. The oxygen in the human body was maintained in a balanced state, and it was a 'fuel' for the oxidation and metabolism of nutrients and sugars. If one inhaled too much oxygen for a long period of time, it would accelerate the metabolism of cells and accelerate the aging of cells. In the end, it would cause the internal environment of the human body to become chaotic, causing chest tightness, dry coughs, vomiting, irritability, breathing difficulties, and so on. This was the so-called oxygen poisoning.
In reality, spiritual pressure specifically referred to spiritual influence poisoning. When one's body was not strong enough, and when one's spiritual power cultivation was not high enough, an environment with dense spiritual influence would not be beneficial to one's cultivation. On the contrary, it would place a massive burden on one's body, which was harmful and not beneficial. A Void Core expert could only withstand 10 units of spiritual pressure. Meanwhile, ordinary Foundational Stage experts could withstand around 3 to 5 units. The standard spiritual pressure in the middle circle of the Land in the divine territory was around 2 to 3 units.
Furthermore, he had only walked one-third of the area covered by the ancient tree's branches, and the spiritual pressure here had already reached 10 units. Even though Lao Wang's body was comparable to a peak Void Core, he felt that it was difficult to breathe. Even the spiritual power in his body felt like it was about to freeze.
"I never thought that just approaching it would be so difficult. This is already my limit … If I become stronger in the future and have the opportunity to break through to the Solid Core Realm or even the Gold Core Realm, I might be able to explore more."
One had to know that even elemental spirits would find it very difficult to surpass the position that Lao Wang had entered. Although the ancient tree was gentle and protective of elemental spirits, the spiritual pressure here treated all creatures equally. Furthermore, most young elemental spirits were equivalent to Void Cores.
Wang Zhong took a deep breath and chose to retreat a certain distance. "Accumulating one's Core mainly depends on comprehension. It's fine as long as the spiritual pressure is appropriate."
The spiritual pressure here was just right and did not make Wang Zhong feel any chest tightness or discomfort. At the same time, the 5 elements were relatively pure. Lao Wang finally sat down cross-legged. The comfortable spiritual pressure and pure elements, as well as the gently fluttering branches brushing against his body, gave off the feeling of the four seasons changing. Wang Zhong simply felt that his mind was extremely relaxed and peaceful. The moment he sat down, he entered a state of meditation. This was the first time he had been so satisfied and relaxed since entering the divine territory.
After chatting freely with Grai, Lao Wang had already sensed the feasible direction for him to accumulate his Core.
Previously, he had thought that the role of the mythical cells was similar to that of a small Void Core, so he had continued to advance in that direction. In fact, this was a completely wrong train of thought. The divine cells ultimately represented the physical body and had nothing to do with accumulating one's Core. Thus, his Foundational Stage had been continuously improving, and his sense of accumulating his Core had always been in a saturated state. However, he had not been able to accumulate his Void Core for a long time. This was because he had been thinking in the wrong direction and had confused the physical body with the Void Core.
Achieving the Void Core was actually the birth of a second life core. In essence, it was still a deeper level of Soul Power and had nothing to do with the strength of one's physical body. Instead, it was the condensation of a cultivator's source, a core that surpassed one's own limits and allowed the essence of one's soul to connect with the universe. It could be said that this was the final form of the evolution of a living body. In the end, one could completely break away from the limitations of one's physical body.
Of course, breaking away from the limitations of one's physical body was only the final form. He could advance in this direction by accumulating his Void Core, but he was definitely far from reaching the end. The Void Core could be said to be the beginning of this path. Furthermore, while accumulating his Void Core, the increase in his source and the qualitative change would strengthen his physical body, and it would be easier for him to borrow the spiritual power from the heaven and the earth … Thus, if a Void Core expert could enter other peripheral worlds in the Fifth Dimension, it would definitely be an extremely terrifying thing. Not only would they be powerful, but there would also be no limit to the amount of spiritual power they could borrow from the heaven and the earth in the peripheral worlds where spiritual power was sparse. They would be an omnipotent god who could move mountains and seas with a single thought!
… …
Furthermore, accumulating his Core was not what excited Wang Zhong the most. Instead, it was the feeling that 'the Void Core is just a starting point' that he had naturally generated during his deductions.
One had to know that the Core accumulation method that most low-leveled civilizations had created basically stopped at the Void Core. However, he could clearly sense that the Void Core was just the starting point of this path. This meant that there should not be a clear boundary for him to advance to the Solid Core or even the Gold Core in the future. The path that he had chosen obviously had an extremely strong continuity of cultivation.
The soul and life were the foundations of the Void Core. Earthlings were good at resting and dared to break boundaries. From a certain perspective, humans were not as afraid of laws as other civilizations. Instead, they would become stronger when they met strong opponents!
Pill studies were actually a kind of understanding of the universe. Perhaps one could see stars in the starry sky, but one could see the moon. Everyone had their own unique perspective, and thus, their understanding would be different. Thus, it was completely impossible to verbally impart knowledge.
Furthermore, Wang Zhong's understanding of the universe could be summed up in one word — ruler.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, order, chaos, fate, and so on. When they were integrated, they would become the ruler!
Only the universe could rule over all things! Furthermore, only the ruler of all things could be called the only truth in the universe.
… …
Wang Zhong had been in there for three days, but Celeste and Ina had not left. The former was very curious about Wang Zhong's breakthrough, while the latter was even more so. Why would a typical gossip party choose this time to leave?
It was a pity that the two of them could not enter. The elemental spirits had completely sealed the Spirit Flower Garden, and the rune door could not be opened without the permission of the spirits. Of course, even if it could be opened, the two girls did not dare to simply barge in after being warned.
Luckily, there was still Roro. They could exchange some information through their spiritual communication.
"The Ancient Spirit Tree?"
"It has been sitting quietly for three days, and there has been no movement?"
"The other elemental spirits are forbidden from entering the vicinity of the Ancient Spirit Tree?"
Every piece of information that was transmitted to them violently impacted Celeste and Ina's fragile little hearts.
Forget about the elemental spirits. Perhaps Wang Zhong's appearance really suited their sense of beauty and taste, and they collectively became infatuated with him? Celeste was not the only one who thought of this possibility. Princess Ina had repeatedly researched this many times, and she felt that this was the most reliable conclusion.
But restrictions … What about the Ancient Spirit Tree?
It was an embodiment of rules that even the superintendent did not dare to approach. It was one of the most mystical and powerful existences in the Land. Back then, the peak Gold Core expert had wanted to approach it, but when he reached the border, he was whipped so badly that his mother could not recognize him. He had covered his head and fled like a rat. However, Wang Zhong had simply walked in and was not obstructed by the Ancient Spirit Tree at all?
Celeste was not stupid. If the elemental spirits had made her feel strange, then the Ancient Spirit Tree had truly made her doubt Lao Wang's identity.
There was a high possibility that there was a problem with this Earthling's bloodline. As the origin of the spirits, even the ancient tree favored him. This was definitely not an issue of personal charisma.
Indeed, the Earth could not be considered an ordinary place. Although the Paradise of the Gods was not rare in the Fifth Dimension, there was no doubt that, based on Celeste's investigations, the Earth was indeed the most durable … The Paradise of the Gods had another name, which was the remains of the gods. No matter what, one could not say that the Earthlings were ordinary if they were able to establish a civilization that was qualified to join the Star Alliance in the remains. Perhaps there was a secret here?
At that moment, under the ancient tree in the Spirit Flower Garden.
The process of accumulating one's Core was multi-layered and could not be done in one go. It involved understanding one's thoughts, letting one's soul fly, and integrating with the environment to gradually settle down.
Having refined pills before was a benefit in this aspect. Various preparations were done in an orderly manner, and every thought was clear and transparent. Over the past three days, Wang Zhong had gone through many stages. At this moment, it was the crucial moment of accumulating his Core.
The branches of the Ancient Spirit Tree, which had been silent for an unknown number of years, swayed even though there was no wind. It was like an old tree welcoming spring and seemed to be more lively. Flowers that gathered light seemed to have bloomed on the branches of the ancient tree. Countless 5 Elemental powers passed through the branches and continuously gathered by Wang Zhong's side.
His entire body was condensed with powerful 5 Elemental elements. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. All the elements revolved around each other and reinforced and countered each other. With Wang Zhong's body as a medium, they continuously traveled back and forth.
At that moment, the Spirit Flower Garden was boiling. The ancient tree had bloomed, and the 5 Elemental powers that were released were much purer and more powerful than usual. All the spirits sensed that their power was increasing at a visible speed. This made them excited, and they danced gracefully among the flowers outside the garden. Meanwhile, Nini and Yiyi were undoubtedly the most excited. They did not know when it had happened, but it seemed like they had woken up from their sleep last night. Their wings had turned into two pairs!
The communication through the spiritual contract allowed them to directly sense the changes in their master's soul. The powerful life force that was produced during the process of nurturing a soul was extremely powerful even if they only shared a trace of it through their spiritual connection.
Furthermore, when the 5 Elemental powers that continuously revolved around Wang Zhong's body gradually slowed down and entered a relatively stable state, Lao Wang could clearly sense that his Void Core was about to take shape!
His Spirit Sea rapidly evaporated, as if it was boiling. It turned into dense water mist that condensed in the air.
Meanwhile, the stable rotation of the 5 Elemental powers became the center of this water mist and continuously gathered this spiritual mist. The rotating energy engulfed them, as if they were condensing a embryo. Wang Zhong could even clearly sense that a portion of his thoughts seemed to have been cut off and entered the embryo.
Not only did it affect his soul, but it also affected his various cultivation comprehensions!
Sword Techniques! Wang Zhong could sense waves of sharp aura appearing around the embryo. They engulfed it like silk threads and fused with it.
Destiny! The destiny power that he had once used, which was the so-called spiritual power, also turned into threads that engulfed the embryo.
Runes! Runes appeared in his mind. They were like seals that covered the exterior of the embryo …
All of his power was furiously circulating. All of his knowledge systems, life comprehension, and everything that Wang Zhong possessed were nourishing the embryo. Meanwhile, the power of the 5 Elemental powers was the foundation. It absorbed everything, gathered everything, and encompassed everything!
When the dust settled, a faint silver pill-shaped object that looked like a water bag that would burst at any time appeared where Wang Zhong's Spirit Sea was. It exuded a kind of tranquility and peace, and at the same time, exuded an exuberant vitality. That strong vitality was simply like a prehistoric divine beast that came from the prehistoric times!
Was this his Void Core?
The Void Core Realm was split into many levels. Putting aside the details, there was a direct evaluation standard, which was the degree of materialization of the Void Core.
For example, Mugthol's Void Core that Wang Zhong had seen before was between illusion and substance. It was slightly like … the body of a ghost. It was transparent and not completely solid. Furthermore, in reality, most Void Cores that had just been condensed were even worse than Mugthol's. The degree of illusion was even more severe, and they were even more illusory. They had only just formed the shape of a Core.
The cultivation of the Void Core Realm was to gradually solidify the illusory Void Core through the accumulation of spiritual power and the improvement of one's realm. Then, it would become a completely solid form.
However, his Void Core had obviously surpassed this. Even when faced with such massive changes, Wang Zhong maintained his calm while feeling happy. He examined the changes in his body. If he had not suddenly thought of coming to the Spirit Flower Garden, who knew how long it would take for him to form his Void Core?
Firstly, there were changes in his spiritual power and his body. This was a boundary that could not be imagined by a Foundational Stage!
Typical Void Cores had a Spiritual Energy Value of one million, but it was obvious that Wang Zhong felt that he could easily break through one million. Of course, he believed that some experts from civilizations with natural endowments might be like this as well. He did not want to show off in this aspect, but his divine cells were unique. After forming his Void Core, his body had also changed. His Great 5 Elements Constitution had been further stimulated, but he was not too sure what level he would reach if he unleashed his full power. He probably had to find a stronger opponent to train with.
Wang Zhong could not help but stand up. He had been meditating for almost four days, and he had been sitting here without moving. At that moment, he just habitually stood up slightly. There was a slight upward force, and he felt as if his body was as light as a feather. He almost left the ground and flew!
It was not strange for a Void Core to be able to fly, but one had to know what this place was. This was under the Spirit Ancient Tree, which had a spiritual pressure of 10 Patch. The massive gravity and spiritual pressure made it difficult for ordinary Void Cores to even walk, let alone fly!
At the same time, his five senses had become clearer, and he even had an 'additional' wonderful perception. Even if he closed his eyes and plugged his ears, Wang Zhong could clearly sense that a butterfly was about to flap its wings hundreds of meters away just by relying on his divine sense. He could even form an extremely vivid and clear image in his mind.
It was as if he could predict the future. It was a mysterious premonition. Although the range of effect was not large, and the time that he could make a prediction was rather short, this kind of ability was simply unheard of and unseen.
This was a true sixth sense. It was completely different from the divine sense search that he had used in the past. It was like the observation of a god, and he could obtain a lot of information with just a thought.
The entire world seemed to have become three-dimensional in his perception. If the world in the past was three-dimensional in Wang Zhong's eyes, then it was truly four-dimensional now!
However, the pleasant surprise did not end there. When Lao Wang gently floated down from the sky, a pair of wings that were formed from a mixture of ice and fire energy slowly and naturally unfurled from his back, as if they were assisting him in landing and helping him sort out the slight turbulence in the air.
"Master!"
Before Lao Wang could recover from the various mysterious changes that had occurred to him, Nini and Yiyi impatiently pounced at him. After waiting for almost four days, Master had finally succeeded. Furthermore, Master had grown wings?!
"So beautiful!" Yiyi could not help but exclaim in surprise. Her eyes lit up when she looked at the ice and fire wings on Lao Wang's back. As expected, Master had a special relationship with the elemental spirits.
