Chapter 262: Chapter 242: Dual Methods of Refining Golden Pill

The resonating intentions of brutality and madness emitted from the gigantic black hand.

It was just like the Sky Slaughter Sword previously suppressed.

However, before this ominous hand could make a move.

At the back of the Taiyi Hall, deep in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, an immeasurable glow of blue light suddenly brightened.

It was as if an endless Great Ocean was hanging upside down from the sky.

Under the encasement and reflection of the blue light, it seemed as if it was constantly being washed by endless seawater. The black layer on the giant hand slowly faded.

It returned to its original colour.

The blue light abruptly withdrew, and the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters regained its tranquillity.

Many cultivators who had witnessed this sudden change thought a treasure might have appeared there.

Gathering their courage, they went closer to see what was happening.

What they first saw, however, was a pile of over a dozen decapitated bodies sprawled on the ground.

They all turned pale.

Recalling the ominous black giant sword they had seen earlier, no one dared make another move, and they quickly retreated.

The news that unusual and dangerous changes had taken place deep inside the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters spread throughout Misthaven Ocean very quickly through communications among the cultivators.

“It seems, trying to lure someone to activate the Sky Slaughter Sword Body next time won’t be that easy.”

“However, with the secret technique of [God Transformation Dao Yi], observing it once and observing it multiple times, doesn’t make a difference for me.”

Having achieved his goal for this trip, Li Fan quietly returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

In the TianXuan Mirror, he kept replaying the scene in his spirit consciousness where the Sky Slaughter Sword was drawn, merely vibrating and emitting sword sounds, and reaping the lives of more than a dozen cultivators.

Under the Heavenly-Earthly View, Li Fan saw that the surrounding Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy of the cultivators, which was originally calm, went berserk, as soon as the sound of the sword arrived.

It seemed to transform into sharply-tuned yet supple strings, constantly vibrating and bursting the heads of the cultivators.

“Slaughter…”

After repeatedly contemplating hundreds of times, Li Fan slowly began to comprehend.

The scene changed, and Li Fan’s attention was again focused on the incident that happened afterward.

An immeasurable amount of blue light rushed to the horizon, just like a reversed ocean.

Majestic and spectacular.

Li Fan perceived it in detail.

“This blue energy feels very familiar to me.”

“It seems to be very similar to the Misthaven Ocean.”

“But inexplicably, this oceanic representation through the blue light appears to be much broader than the Misthaven Ocean…”

“Vast Sea…”

He initially planned to use the Sky Killing and MO Sha Techniques to form the Gold Core.

However, after unexpectedly seeing the Vast Sea Blue Light, Li Fan began to hesitate.

This Vast Sea Blue Light seems to be of the same lineage as the Misthaven

Ocean.

Li Fan was extremely familiar with the Misthaven Ocean and had personally established his Tao Foundation with the Ocean Pearl.

Obviously, using the Law of the Vast Sea to condense the Gold Core would be more advantageous.

“You could see from the incident where the Sky Killing was able to infect and transform the blue light. Perhaps the pure Law of Heavenly Fiend might affect one’s mind, making it difficult to suppress the violent killing intent.”

“And the Vast Sea Blue Light can act as a buffer.”

“Furthermore, with the MO Sha Technique, if the Law of Vast Sea is not enough, one can supplement it with the Blue Flame Technique…”

“And condense a Four Images Golden Pill all at once.”

Li Fan preliminarily set his direction and temporarily put other matters aside, diving deep into isolated meditation and diligent cultivation.

The length of the Gold Core condensation process varies according to individual aptitude and the technique being cultivated.

Previously, under the added will of the Misthaven Ocean, Zhang Haobo managed to condense a false elixir using the Water Wind Technique in just over a month.

However, when it comes to Li Fan, it probably won’t be that easy.

The Foundation Establishment Strange Object quietly transformed into the Ocean Pearl.

Threads of blue light representing the Power of Principle of water attribute flowed out from the Ocean Pearl.

Like silk threads, it encircled the Foundation Establishment Strange Object as the core.

Li Fan visualized the scene of the Vast Sea Figure.

Mixing in his own comprehension of the Power of Principle into it.

The blue light bursting out of the Ocean Pearl seemed to have changed in an instant.

Becoming more profound and ancient.

Because at this time, the Tao Foundation Ocean Pearl and The Law of Vast Sea shared many common characteristics.

This process was much faster than Li Fan had anticipated.

Gradually, a deep blue halo enveloped the Ocean Pearl.

A very rudimentary “Gold Core” began to take shape.

“If it continues like this, a pure Gold Core of The Law of Vast Sea might be able to condense immediately.” “However, this is not my goal.”

“Next, add The Law of Heavenly Fiend.”

In the Spirit Consciousness, the moment of Heavenly Sword Intent unsheathing constantly flashed.

Strands of pitch black suddenly surged out from the core of the strange object.

Like ink, it spilled into the blue light.

However, what made Li Fan frown slightly was that the pitch black representing The Law of Heavenly Fiend could not last long.

It only persisted for a moment in the blue light before dissipating.

Having read many experiences of cultivators forming their Golden Core, Li Fan immediately understood.

It was because The Law of Heavenly Fiend had no foundation within Li Fan’s body.

Just like water without a source or a tree without roots, it could only appear momentarily and couldn’t persist.

The Law of Vast Sea, with the Tao Foundation Ocean Pearl, could naturally be inexhaustible.

That was also whv cultivators often couldn’t focus on multiple techniques during Golden Core formation.

Without their own Tao Foundation as the basis, it was incredibly difficult to gather techniques into a core.

Li Fan tried for a long time, but the speed of condensing The Law of Heavenly Fiend was always slower than the speed at which it dissipated.

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan temporarily gave up the attempt.

Instead, he pondered over the scene when Zhang Haobo formed his Golden

Core.

The Phantom of the black sword intent, magnified countless times, stood between Heaven and Earth.

The cyan wind blew from the tip of the sword into the body of the sword.

The blue water flowed from the handle of the sword into the body of the sword.

The mixture of cyan, blue, and black made the sword body slowly solidify.

Li Fan’s eyes sparkled as he pondered.

“Zhang Haobo used the natural Law of Water Wind between Heaven and Earth, combined with his own Heavenly Sword Intent, to form the core together.”

“The Law of Heaven and Earth is infinite. Naturally, there’s no need to worry about overflow issues.”

“This is also perhaps why many cultivators have to travel far and wide to personally comprehend and absorb the Law of Heaven and Earth during their core formation.”

“However, I can’t do the same.”

“The Law of Heavenly Fiend, The Law of Vast Sea, MO Sha Technique, each one more dangerous than the last.”

“If I were to observe them in person, I might not form the core, but instead may risk my own life.”

“However, luckily, I have [Real].”

With a thought, the Foundation Establishment Strange Object instantly transformed into the Heavenly Sword Intent.

The blue Law of Vast Sea, which had originally gathered together, instantly lost its foundation and began to overflow.

However, since it had formed its own momentum, the dissipation rate was much slower.

This time was enough for Li Fan to gather The Law of Heavenly Fiend.

The black color gradually thickened.

As if the blue water globe was put on layer upon layer of pitch-black shackles.

Time gradually passed.

After utilising The Law of Heavenly Fiend, Li Fan quickly switched the Foundation Establishment Strange Object back to the Ocean Pearl.

Re-establishing the blue Law of Vast Sea.

With this repeated cycle, within Li Fan’s Dantian,

A phantom of the Golden Core with [Real] at its core, slowly emerged..
