Advancing from the Veritable Personage Realm to the Primal Core Realm was to merge the three Essence Energies into one and form a core.
Xiao Chen's Yin Essence Energy came from the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy he absorbed and refined. Xiao Chen's Yang Essence Energy came from the Heavenly Yang Pill, which was comparable to the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yang Energy.
As for Veritable Essence Energy, it was like a mediator between the two. However, it was different.
Be it Yin Essence Energy or Yang Essence Energy, their ultimate goal was to temper Veritable Essence Energy, to continuously perfect it. In the end, a cultivator's cultivation was based on Veritable Essence Energy.
When merging the three Essence Energies into one, the most important thing was balance, the conservation of Yin and Yang. Only then could one form a Primal Core.
Xiao Chen had reached this point long ago. The Taiji diagram in his Dantian slowly formed its second cycle allowed him to not have to spend any effort on balancing it.
This was already the most perfect Dao of balance in the current world. It originated from the Immortal Epoch's Daoist sects. Now, it belonged to Xiao Chen alone, something he could use.
In the Great Thousand Realms, there was a saying: First become human, then become a deity.
After transcending mortality and becoming a Veritable Personage, one would take a brand new step on the long Martial Dao. The Veritable Personage Realm was the foundation. It determined how far one could go in the future and how much potential one could bring out.
Many people understood this point. However, not many people could do it.
Not everyone's physical body could endure the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy and ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yang Energy. Those who could endure the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy and ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yang Energy might not have the opportunity to subdue them.
Furthermore, not everyone could be like Xiao Chen, enduring silently and maintaining a calm and peaceful state of mind.
Even when facing many dangers — the pursuit of the Black Lotus Church, the provocation of the Divine Firmament Sect, and the encirclement of the Divine Shield Army — he did not force a breakthrough.
Furthermore, he did not rush to make a breakthrough because he wanted to make a name for himself.
Xiao Chen let nature take its course, succeeding when the conditions were right. After continuous tempering and adjustment, he finally reached where he was today, step by step.
This was because from the start to the end, Xiao Chen had not forgotten his original intention: to search for the moon!
To find Liu Ruyue, to find the person he loved the most, to obtain the Dragon Emperor position, and to complete the revival of the Blue Dragon bloodline.
Everything that Xiao Chen experienced in the Great Thousand Realms was just fleeting. His final battlefield would definitely be the Central Great Realm, where geniuses gathered and the outstanding talents of the Great Desolate Hundred Races.
The Heavens would not disappoint those who set their minds to it!
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. With a thought, the black-and-white Taiji diagram formed by Yang Essence Energy and Yin Essence Energy in his dantian slowly merged and shrank.
After being cleansed by hundreds of Jasmine Flowers, his Yin and Yang essence had become extremely pure, sparkling and translucent, emitting a silk-like luster.
This was especially true for the Yang Essence refined from the Sky Yang Pill. It was originally contaminated with the residue of the pill, so the problem could be big or small.
After this round of cleansing, the dregs of the pill were completely expelled from the body. There was no longer any hidden danger.
Since the Yang Yuan and Yin Yuan Energies were too vast and pure, the process of merging Xiao Chen's three Yuan Energies into one was rather slow.
Hua, around him, an even vaster black and white Tai Chi diagram appeared, dancing light and shadow, flickering and disappearing. Amidst the light and shadow, the entire world alternated between black and white, and a unique Dao Rhythm circulated.
A Daoist Rhyme that was different from the Buddhist Might was exceptionally mysterious, causing one's imagination to run wild.
Time passed by the minute and second. Although Xiao Chen's progress was slow, it went smoothly, without any obstructions at all.
This was how a breakthrough came naturally. When the bottleneck was no longer there, one just had to let nature take its course.
Four hours later, the Yin Essence Energy, Yang Essence Energy, and Veritable Essence Energy in Xiao Chen's dantian had already shrunk to the size of a palm. The light they gave off was boundlessly resplendent.
The light shone through Xiao Chen's body. His bones, flesh, skin, and even his soul all received great benefits in the process of merging the three Yuan Energies into one.
The flickering light on the surface of Xiao Chen's body intertwined with the surrounding Taiji diagram, vaguely connecting with the entire world.
This was the Fiendish Demon Battlefield. Not only was the space here of a higher level, but the Spiritual Energy here was also several times that of the outside world.
Breaking through here was much better than breaking through in a blessed land. This was something that Xiao Chen had not expected.
After another seven minutes, the extremely condensed Yang Essence Energy and Yin Essence Energy finally merged into his Veritable Essence Energy.
"Whoosh!"
The Taiji diagram, which originally circulated extremely slowly, spun violently at ten times, one hundred times, or even a thousand times, faster than before.
Thousands of beams of golden light shot out from Xiao Chen's body, illuminating the surrounding fifty kilometers like it was daytime. Xiao Chen could clearly see every blade of grass and tree in the surroundings.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen had chosen a desolate place in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, where the situation was constantly changing. Such a large commotion did not attract the attention of others.
As that light spun, Xiao Chen felt a brand new Veritable Essence Energy flow continuously in his meridians.
Strong energy filled his entire body, making Xiao Chen feel his strength erupting rapidly.
This continued for an entire hour before the feeling of his strength increasing abruptly came to a stop.
The boundless light in the surroundings suddenly withdrew, returning to his body as if nothing had happened.
When the light vanished, Xiao Chen looked within himself and discovered a fingernail-sized crystal Primal Core in his dantian.
The Primal Core had nine golden stars carved on its surface. Each golden star flickered with light. Upon closer inspection, it was piercing and bright; one could not look directly at it.
A 9-Star Primal Core!
This was the most perfect advancement. Even in the Great Thousand Realms, it would allow one to look down on the many outstanding talents.
Xiao Chen could not help revealing joy in his heart. After leaving the Kunlun Realm and experiencing all sorts of things, he finally managed to condense this Primal Core.
Looking at that completely solidified crystal, Xiao Chen rejoiced. His cultivation directly soared to peak Minor Primal Core Realm.
When one first entered the Primal Core Realm, the Primal Core Realm was mostly soft. There would even be some viscous Veritable Essence Energy inside.
A completely solidified crystal was the mark of peak Minor Primal Core Realm.
One more step and one would reach the Major Primal Core Realm. Only by successfully breaking through could one increase the capacity of the Primal Core Realm. That required continuous tempering, merging the Primal Core with the power of the world.
This was an extremely important step. Many people would never be able to cross this hurdle in their entire lives.
However, Xiao Chen felt that his 9-Star Primal Core could contain much more Veritable Essence Energy than that of a regular Major Primal Core expert.
Every shining golden star was condensed with incomparably pure Quintessential Essence.
Most regular Primal Core cultivators had only two or three golden stars. Even in the blessed lands, those with more than five golden stars were extremely rare.
Rumor had it that Shangguan Lei had only condensed six golden stars, and he already stood at the top of his generation in the Black Cave Mountain.
Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and an irrepressible tyranny burst out from them. His aura felt like he had been reborn.
This was not something that Xiao Chen liked. However, he had just advanced to the Primal Core Realm and could not control it as he pleased.
The tyranny and strength of a 9-Star Primal Core could not be easily hidden.
Shangguan Lei was incredibly tyrannical, making many people not dare to meet his gaze, aside from his Thunder Dao and his irascible character.
A large part of the reason was his 6-Star Primal Core, which formlessly suppressed others.
"When I run into that Holy Son Ming Xuan again, I can give him a huge surprise!"
Xiao Chen was a proud person. Although he was not willing to show it to others, he could not help but feel dissatisfied after being suppressed so miserably by someone of the same generation.
Xiao Chen indeed had the capital to feel dissatisfied. A half-step Primal Core cultivator was already at a huge disadvantage against an early-stage Major Primal Core cultivator like the Holy Son Ming Xuan.
Now that Xiao Chen had broken through, it could barely be considered a fair fight.
Xiao Chen shifted his gaze and looked in the direction of the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion. He muttered to himself, "I have to go and find a good saber that suits me."
If Xiao Chen had a Dao Tool earlier, he would not have ended up in such an awkward situation where he could not injure the Holy Son Ming Xuan even after he struck him.
"Who is it?!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. After advancing to the Primal Core Realm, his senses were extremely sharp. Even the tiniest changes within fifty kilometers could not escape his notice.
Xiao Chen gently pushed off the ground and leaped several kilometers, landing at the place where the sound came from.
He saw a white cat filled with wildness stepping on the ground. It did not make any sound as it leaped around extremely quickly.
Xiao Chen recognized this white cat. It was that young cat-eared girl. When her Fiendish Qi erupted, she had drawn a strange mark on his forehead before vanishing.
Xiao Chen had nearly forgotten about this matter. She came at the right time.
The young cat-eared girl's intelligent, black gem-like eyes revealed a surprised expression when she saw Xiao Chen. She was surprised that Xiao Chen had discovered her in advance. What was more, she was surprised that Xiao Chen's strength had changed so much in just half a day.
