Chapter 242: Breaking Through the Bottleneck Quickly
With all the advice from Li Fan, Jiao Xiuyuan felt like he had struck gold.
He promptly took his leave with great joy to make the necessary arrangements.
"Cough..." The clone coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"No wonder nowadays, there's only theoretical research, and no one is truly practicing the human body's secrets method."
"Compared to the new law that can advance guaranteed when the conditions are met, the progress in developing the human body's potential is not only slow but also risky."
"It relies solely on self-exploration, and a slight mistake can result in depleted vitality and serious damage to one's vitality."
"Fortunately, it's just a clone, so there's no need to worry about any aftermath. As long as I can accumulate experience, it's a gain."
After purchasing a Dragon Tiger Pill to replenish vitality, Li Fan swallowed it.
His complexion quickly became rosy, and the clone once again entered into the experimental exploration.
The remaining time of the fifteenth year passed in a hurry.
In the sixteenth year, with the sudden emergence of two forces promoting cultivation within his body, Li Fan trembled all over and woke up from seclusion.
There was no more room for improvement in cultivation, and he couldn't make any progress.
Li Fan knew that he had already reached the Foundation Establishment perfection.
He only needed to break through the bottleneck to start forming his Golden Core.
The two forces of feedback in his body came from Ye Feipeng and Xiao Heng.
With a thought, he checked the records of the blue crystal in the sea of consciousness, detailing the events that had occurred to the two individuals during this period.
After swallowing the Green Wind True Intent, Ye Feipeng's cultivation speed increased significantly.
In a short half-year, he reached the perfection of the Qi Condensation.
Seemingly without encountering any bottlenecks, he emulated Zhang Haobo from his memories and used the "Green Wind True Intent" to build his foundation.
After successfully establishing his foundation, Ye Feipeng returned to the deserted island, proudly flaunting his success to everyone. He even took on the tone of an elder, lecturing Xiao Heng and others.
Stimulated by this, Xiao Heng became more devoted to his cultivation.
A month later, after reaching Qi Condensation perfection, Xiao Heng went to the altar in the White Bone Realm and obtained the top-grade Human Treasure, the "Burial Sea Bone Sword."
He successfully entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
This Foundation Treasure was naturally prepared by Li Fan for him.
After establishing his foundation, the first thing Xiao Heng did was to challenge Ye Feipeng again.
Both had recently advanced, and neither could precisely control their own strength.
After battling for a long time, they couldn't determine the winner and had to settle for a draw.
Sighing, Xiao Heng's initial excitement disappeared.
In contrast, Ye Feipeng, who was originally self-satisfied, felt a renewed sense of crisis.
Instead of staying on the deserted island, Ye Feipeng went out to practice and search for opportunities based on the memories from his past life.
Li Fan then checked the situations of the other individuals.
Among them, Su Xiaomei progressed the fastest and had the highest cultivation.
Although she was still a child and spent most of her time playing every day, without much determination to diligently cultivate, her excellent talent had brought her to the late stage of Qi Condensation. It was believed that she was not far from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Next was Zhang Haobo, who had reached the mid stage of Qi Condensation.
Su Changyu and the Yin sisters had already purified themselves of the miasma and officially embarked on the path of immortality.
Feeling the occasional emergence of the corresponding feedback cultivation from their bodies, Li Fan seemed like a diligent farmer.
It was as if he saw green leeks rushing out of the ground, growing vigorously, or as if he were witnessing a golden wheat field in autumn, with heavy ears of wheat bending the stalks.
The joy of the harvest overflowed.
Under the delight, a sudden comprehension occurred, and there was a sense of relief in his heart.
The arduous bottleneck broke without any effort.
There was no longer a barrier ahead; it was a smooth path.
As long as he could comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, he could then condense the Golden Core effortlessly.
Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly this time, making Li Fan feel optimistic.
However, Li Fan remained very clear-headed.
He had stayed in the later stage of Foundation Establishment for so long and had laboriously accumulated strength for a breakthrough.
Moreover, he had only broken through the bottleneck now, and there was still a distance to go before truly condensing the Golden Core.
"To comprehend the laws of heaven and earth..."
Recalling the various information he had read in the Tianxuan Mirror and scenes from the previous life when Zhang Haobo condensed a False Core with the Water Wind Sword Technique, Li Fan silently contemplated, "With my accumulated experience, condensing the Golden Core is just a simple matter."
"Whether it's the Water Law corresponding to the Cong Yun Sea or the Sword Law corresponding to the Cong Yun Sea Twenty-Eight Swords or even the Wind Law that Zhang Haobo and Ye Feipeng have dealt with..."
"By choosing any one of them and studying it slightly, I believe I can condense the core with little effort."
"But, the Golden Core formed in this way is far from being worthy of my Foundation Treasure, [Truth]."
"Creating something out of nothing, making the false appear true."
"This is the root of my Foundation Treasure."
"This is also why I can transform [Truth] into any Heavenly Treasure that I have absorbed."
"All Heavenly Treasures are at my disposal."
"In terms of the Golden Core, it would be..."
Li Fan's thoughts paused for a moment.
"All laws of heaven and earth are my laws."
"If an ordinary cultivator is forming the Golden Core, they would only condense one or a few pure laws."
"So what I need to do is to condense..."
"A myriad of Golden Core laws."
Li Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the sudden throbbing in his heart.
"For other cultivators, no matter how talented they are, even if they spend their entire lives, they can't achieve this."
"But for me, who possesses [Truth], as long as I can ensure successful reincarnation repeatedly, it's trivial."
"However, this process will undoubtedly take an extremely long time. Perhaps I can choose a suitable law first, break through to the Golden Core stage, and then see."
"It would be best to maximize the improvement in combat power."
If one were to talk about the most powerful killing power, from all the experiences and knowledge he had gained since entering the cultivation world.
The Heavenly Calamity Sword and Ink Death were the most terrifying.
"Ink Death is a force of pure destruction that annihilates everything."
The blue crystal in the sea of consciousness slowly emitted light, vividly replaying the scene of the past when Ink Death exterminated everything.
"At that time, the one who witnessed this scene of world destruction was just a Qi Condensation clone. Its perception was not enough to support me in condensing the Golden Core with this law."
"But when Ink Death descends again in this life, it's an excellent opportunity to add to my understanding. I can observe it again."
"As for the Heavenly Calamity Sword..."
Thinking about it, Li Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
This sword was filled with killing intent, chaos, madness, and tyranny.
Its origin was unknown.
But just the broken hilt alone could contend with the Dao Integration Realm Green Wind.
Its original full strength was unimaginable.
"If I want to condense the Golden Core with the Heavenly Calamity Sword technique, my previous accumulation may not be enough."
Li Fan's gaze flickered as he thought of the scene he had seen before when the Master forcibly broke into the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.
The blue ox pulled the carriage, and the Master forced out the Heavenly Doctor.
Then, all the anomalies in the Heavenly Palace erupted in unison.
Among them, one was deeply embedded in the body of the turtle-snake monster.
It was the body of the Heavenly Calamity Sword.
