The scarlet gold flames continuously tempered the scarlet gold sphere, within which was a golden Black Hole, and within the Dantian, cracks of scarlet gold appeared, continuously absorbing the surrounding power of heaven and earth.
The originally formless and immaterial power of heaven and earth from the outside world now transformed into streams of white water, surging towards Xu Yang's body.
"This isn't a Golden Elixir; it can only be considered an alternative Soul Core. A true Golden Elixir condenses all the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the entire body into a single point, like the initial opening of the universe, evolving into the myriad worlds from that tiny point, completely merging into one, rather than just being a simple solid. So, it must continue to be compressed."
Right now, all of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were within his Lower Dantian, gathered together, but they weren't condensed into a single point, completely fused into one. Therefore, the scarlet gold sphere in his body wasn't a Golden Elixir, but merely a Soul Core.
Xu Yang hardened his heart, and the spatial fluctuations within his Dantian became even more intense, causing the golden Soul Core within his Dantian to compress again, from the size of a fist to the size of a walnut, then to the size of a Broad Bean, and finally to the size of a Sesame seed.
At this point, the Black Hole within the Soul Core was extremely unstable and began to collapse, eventually transforming into a scarlet gold point of Light.
With the appearance of the point of Light, the Sesame-sized Soul Core was instantly absorbed completely by the point of Light, and even the Spiritual Fire that had been constantly tempering it from the outside was completely absorbed. The power of heaven and earth from the outside world surged frantically into Xu Yang's body, even forming an energy storm.
Outside, at the location where Xu Yang was in seclusion, there was a white energy vortex, absorbing everything around it and crushing it into energy to be absorbed by Xu Yang.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Madam Ning, and others all stood on the periphery, watching the energy vortex with worried expressions.
"Sword Uncle, what's going on with Yang Er now?! Do you have a way to help him?!" Ning Fengzhi used his Spiritual Power to sense it multiple times, but each time his Spiritual Power extended, it would be shattered by the energy vortex, making it impossible to understand the situation inside.
He was very worried about Xu Yang's situation, but at the same time, he was also blaming Xu Yang for messing around again, disregarding his own safety.
"The strength of this energy is rare in the world, and I can't sense the situation inside either!" Saying this, Chen Xin smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued, "However, Feng Zhi, Qing Er, you two don't need to worry. Although this energy is violent, it is very stable. They are all converging towards the center point, and should be absorbed by Yang Er."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Madam Ning quickly shifted their gazes over and found that it was indeed as Chen Xin said. After the violent white vortex grew to a certain extent, it no longer grew. It wasn't that the vortex no longer attracted the power of heaven and earth, but because the attraction and absorption were in a state of balance, which prevented the vortex from growing larger.
Suddenly, the speed of the white vortex began to accelerate, and its size was rapidly decreasing, with Xu Yang's figure looming within.
"He's about to break through!" Chen Xin said.
And Xu Yang's breakthrough had also reached a critical moment. The point of Light within his Dantian continued to absorb energy. After absorbing an unknown amount, the point of Light finally began to grow, transforming into a pill the size of a Sesame seed.
This pill was so perfect that Xu Yang had never seen such a perfect sphere. There was no so-called energy Black Hole within it, only a Golden Elixir.
After this Golden Elixir absorbed all the Soul Power in Xu Yang's body, it began to spit out scarlet gold Soul Power, which quickly filled the Dantian, and then, together with the Golden Elixir, circulated through the meridians in a Great Heavenly Cycle.
The Soul Power spit out by the Golden Elixir was not the solid Soul Power unique to Titled Douluo, but a more advanced Soul Power. According to the Soul Power before the breakthrough, the conversion ratio between the two reached an astonishing 100:1. That is to say, one hundred parts of Soul Power as viscous as lead and mercury, only one step away from becoming solid, could be converted into one part of new Soul Power.
This kind of Soul Power was superior to solid Soul Power in all aspects, especially in terms of cultivation. Because it didn't need to be like other Titled Douluo, who had to transform solid Soul Power into a state where solid, liquid, and gas coexisted, the new Soul Power was smoother, simpler, and easier to manipulate when circulating in the meridians.
Every time the Golden Elixir completed a Heavenly Cycle, it would absorb a large amount of the power of heaven and earth and transform it into this new Soul Power, which would then be absorbed by the body and soul, allowing the level of life to begin to evolve. This was the first time Xu Yang had ever had this feeling in so many years.
He didn't stop cultivating now because his body and soul were craving this new Soul Power, greedily absorbing it to allow his life to transform.
If the previous Xu Yang was a mortal, then he was now shedding his mortal body and moving towards a higher level. Just talking about lifespan, even if he didn't use Micro Control, he could sense that he could live for at least a thousand years, and this age was still increasing, which was proof.
"This is the Golden Elixir, this is my fate is up to me and not the heavens!"
Feeling the evolution of his life, Xu Yang worked even harder to circulate the Great Sun Sutra, allowing the Golden Elixir to circulate through the meridians in a Great Heavenly Cycle, continuously producing new Soul Power for the body and soul to absorb.
It was also at this time that Xu Yang understood why the Great Heavenly Cycle's trajectory had not changed after the seventh level of the Xuan Tian Gong. That was because the Great Heavenly Cycle already represented perfection, and the energy circulation in the body was already close to perfect. The next step in cultivation was to transform the power in the body, thereby transforming oneself and evolving the life form. This was the path of cultivation.
The energy vortex outside had long since begun to shrink from the moment the Golden Elixir formed until it disappeared completely, but Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin could still feel the continuous stream of the power of heaven and earth and Sun Power being absorbed into Xu Yang's body.
They knew that Xu Yang's cultivation had not yet ended, but they were no longer worried. After breathing a sigh of relief, they continued to busy themselves with their own affairs. Chen Xin was only one step away from breaking through, so he went back to continue his cultivation.
Even though it was just a breakthrough, the fastest stage of life transformation, Xu Yang still sat there cross-legged and cultivated for two full months. In these two months, he didn't drink a drop of water, but his complexion was still extremely healthy.
In this process, Xu Yang also had new discoveries. The first was the Soul Bone. Although the Soul Bone was absorbed by him, it was attached to his Bone in a special way, and it was not completely integrated with himself, similar to the legendary magical artifact.
He can now manifest it at any time, and can also strip it from his body without harming himself.
However, Xu Yang would not do so, because after his breakthrough, the Head Soul Bone, which was originally impossible to grow, could also improve its quality under the nourishment of the new Soul Power.
And the quality of the External Spirit Bone, which could originally be improved with the cultivation of the Soul Master, even surpassed Ning Fengzhi's Ten Thousand Year Torso Bone.
The quality of the Flame Control Right Arm Bone also reached the level of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
