Chapter 35 Core Formation
Seven days later, In a room, Bai Ming was sitting inside the tub with his legs crossed and eyes shut.
The tub was filled with spirit liquid, there was small formation enveloping Bai Ming, the essence mist inside the formation was really dense, it could even rival some low tier sects cultivation rooms.
Currently Bai Ming\'s consciousness was inside his dantian.
There were nine finger sized spiritual nucleus slowly rotating inside his dantian, Bai Ming circulated the primeval star mantra to the limits, a terrific suction burst out from his body, and then the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from all directions poured into Bai Ming\'s body at an frightening speed, the spirit liquid slowly entered through the pores in his body. This speed was the benifit of having the highest grade talent, the extremity spirit root.
The spiritual essence went through the spiritual nucleus before taking shape of a pole.
"Break" Bai Ming commanded.
The spiritual pole moved with terrifying force, Bang! There was a muted thud, as the pole with just a single strike punctured a thumb sized hole in the barrier.
"The bottleneck has been broken through. The next task is the construction of the golden core." Bai Ming thought.
Bai Ming willed and the spiritual essence crazily surged before gushing into the newly formed space and began expanding it to the limits, next the nine spiritual nucleus moved inside and began to melt very slowly.
After an entire hour, the nine nucleus had completely melted, now each nuclei had transformed into fine threads. Next these treads began to intertwine with each other finally forming a fist sized dim yellow core after another three hours, there was single leaf pattern on it.
Bai Ming suddenly opened his eyes. There was a beam of sliver light that brushed over his deep crimson pupils.
"The core formation realm I have now achieved it." Bai Ming spoke to himself.
He twisted his neck a few times, accompanied by the clear sound of bones cracking. He slightly clenched his palms and suddenly he could feel a strong power, which made him smile.
The next minute, Bai Ming exerted the strength in his palms toward the void in the front of him.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a burst of a crisp sound filled the whole void.
"This strength is similar to my raw strength, But if I combine both of my strength I should be able fight against 2nd layer core formation realm martial artists. Of course once I master the fifth layer of the sword arts and along with my treasure body I should be able to deal with 4th layer core formation realm martial artists. As for my divine sense" Bai Ming began to inspect his soul "Not too shabby, it is comparable to the 9th layer of elemental realm."

"Accept" Bai Ming had no idea about the yin-yang reversal pear, but he had vague idea on the benifit of the battle qi he had gotten.
The next second, Bai Ming\'s eyes lost their luster for a couple of breaths before regaining them. Now he was extremely clear on what these rewards were.
The void before him cracked and a tiny pearl which was half black and half white appeared in front of him.
Bai Ming gazed at the pearl with gentleness, he lightly caressed it before using his divine sense to refine it. Next, he lifted the pearl and pressed it against his forehead, the pearl entered his forehead before entering deep into his soul without any obstruction.
"Even though its a one time use treasure, it\'s value for me is immeasurable. Hehe, even if my entire body were to be destroyed as long as my soul exists I can resurrect again, but it only works for people with cultivation level of Yin-Yang void realm or below."
"Sword qi only strengthens sword path attacks by three times, whereas battle qi strengthens attacks of all paths like sword path, spear path, fist path, movement path, elemental path attacks and so on by three times. It even strengthens soul path attacks by three times."
"After considering my rise in strength again, I should be able to defeat a 5th layer martial artist, can I fight against a 6th layer core formation realm martial artist? I\'m not sure."
"Now I can finally be considered an elite in this place, with core formation realm cultivation I can move around more freely. But for now I should learn the 5th layer of primeval sword art, after that I will begin searching for that treasure."
....
Xuan mountain.
Deep underground, It was dark and in this darkness the only source of light was dim yet extremely hot. The purple flame was burning peacefully on the surface of a basin sized skull, the skull was half purple, half green. There were many veins on it connected to the ground below, These veins were throbbing every now and then, right behind it lay an sculpture of an old man in intricate robes. he seemed in his sixties, his eyes were closed and both of his palms were placed against each other.
"Just another two days and I can break this restriction, then I can begin the process of refining the bone heart flame, Li wei has also brokethrough the core formation realm two days ago, things are going smoothly for now but it will get chaotic ones these local Martial artists get here." Li jun contemplated as he was trying to destroy the restriction.
"Master, I have finally achieved success in the fourth layer of azure frost transformation art" Li wei spoke excitedly.
Li jun heard this and a wide smile formed on his face, "Good, little wei you are really my disciple. Hahaha"
Li wei also smiled lightly, a bit of pride could be seen in her pearl like eyes.
"This is good, now with li wei\'s strength she should be able to fight against most of the core formation realm martial artists in this place, I can focus on just refining the bone heart flame, but if Spirit realm martial artists come it will be really troublesome." Li jun pondered.
At another place in the underground.
There were nearly 20-30 people gathered here, all them had core formation realm cultivation. The strange thing was that these core formation realm experts were not from a single village but all the three big villages.
"How troublesome, these restrictions are never ending."
"Does you luo clan people not know of the term patience. if my guess is right this should be the last restriction, the treasure must be behind this restriction."
"You have said the same thing for the last two times, your Song clan only knows to bullshit."
"Enough, stop your nonsense and focus on the task ahead, if only we could go back and inform our respective clan heads, it would have been much quicker to breakthrough these formations."
previously when the golden pillar of light was formed, each of the villages had sent a group of elders to inspect the cause. From the golden pillar of light the destination was found out quickly.
But of course all three of the villages wanted to keep the treasures for themselves, hence the elders engaged in intense battles, but after a few rounds of combat they decided to form a temporary alliance and find the treasure together, as for who gets to keep it that could be decided later.
...
Ye Clan pavilion, Ye Qing han\'s personal chamber.
"There is still no news about them, its almost been a month now since they have left, in the last message it was informed that three villages formed a alliance and there was a restriction blocking them. Hmm, did other villages betray us or is this whole thing just some sort of evil plot, but its unlikely to be a scheme. I\'ll wait for few more days, if there is still nothing we can only cooperate and try to rescue them, sigh." Ye Qing han worriedly stared at the letters on his table.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in" a knock was heard on the door, Qing han sat down as he gave approval.
"Reporting to clan head, this subordinate has something to report." At this time, a white haired elemental realm martial artist walked in.
"Is it news regarding the elders?" Ye Qing han\'s eyes shone, asking quickly.
"It\'s about Bai Ming, he has recently advanced to core formation realm" The white haired man quickly reported.
Ye Qing han\'s eyes dimmed, waving his hands "No information on elders? Wait...What? what did you say, Bai Ming! that brat Bai Ming advanced to core formation realm!?" Halfway through, he reacted and his expression one of shock.
This was too sudden, with zero premonition.
"It is indeed him sir clan head" the white haired man quickly replied respectfully.
Ye Qing han had a wierd expression, asking immediately, "Did he come here to inform me? where is he?"
"Reporting to Lord Clan head, Bai Ming did not inform himself, I was ordered by Lord Tian to inform you, he said that he discovered it when Bai Ming came to the clans inner treasury to learn the fifth layer of primeval sword art." The white haired man replied.
"This Bai Ming was able to advance to core formation realm! He is merely of mid grade talent, but could actually have such accomplishments in this short time. This is really a surprise! he definitely has secrets on him. Although he had help from elder li and even entered the spirit pond and has gotten the reward of 6000 spirit stones, he couldn\'t have had advanced to core formation so fast, this is something even a superior grade talent cannot do. Hmm, he also had killed Luo sheng, did he get something from him? its a possibility." The clan head had thousands of thoughts on his mind now, he thought about the mid term exam how Bai Ming was able to win the competition with just is lowly bone forging realm cultivation, his cunningness, reckless, ruthlessness had left a profound impression on him. From that day, he saw Bai Ming in new light, but didn\'t expect much from him due to his talent, but that changed again when he brought Luo sheng\'s severed head.
Now, this Bai Ming actually had another great accomplishment!
According to the village system, all martial artists who advanced to core formation were new elders. A new elder was bound to have a huge impact on the old political structure, but the current situation in the upper echelons was messy, it was unsure whether those ten core formation elders are alive or dead.
"But i suppose this is a good thing" Ye Qing han had a slightly unsure expression, his heart had some uncertainty.
"Since Bai Ming\'s cultivation has reached core formation realm, thus according to the clan rules, he shall also assume the role of clan elder. Send out the news, and let the entire village rejoice." Qing han gave his command, the white haired man respectfully bowed and left.
Two days later.
"Finally, I have comprehended this high grade sword art." Bai Ming slowly stood up as he glanced at the stone pillar one last time before turning around and leaving.
But he suddenly stopped, "Now the elders should know about me breaking through core formation realm, should I master the sword art here and then leave, then I can go and directly look for that treasure and its also much safer to practice here." Bai Ming made up his mind, if he were to leave now there would be many things to deal with and his training might get delayed, hence he would rather train here.
Without wasting time Bai Ming immediately began to train in the fifth layer of primeval sword art.
But at the next second...
