"Let me see… hmm, Core Formation Stage cultivation insights, improvements in Realm."
Oh! Right off the bat, it was something Su Bai was interested in.
She continued reading.
Core Formation is divided into nine layers. To increase one's cultivation, one needs to accumulate Spiritual Qi until the Golden Core is fully saturated once.
Nine is the extreme number, so after nine saturations, one advances a layer in Realm.
Three layers constitute a major Realm.
"So, I should have completed one cultivation saturation, which means I'm at Core Formation First Layer. To Breakthrough to Core Formation Second Layer, I need to accumulate Spiritual Qi nine times or more. Core Formation Third Layer requires eighteen times or more."
"Core Formation Peak, on the other hand, requires a full eighty-one saturations."
It requires accumulating Spiritual Qi eighty-one times.
Upon reading this, Su Bai rubbed her fair chin with her small hand, feeling that the path of Cultivation ahead was still very long.
Foundation Establishment needs to accumulate three hundred and sixty-five drops of Spiritual Qi liquid to reach Core Formation, while Core Formation needs to accumulate eighty-one full saturations of Spiritual Qi in the Golden Core to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.
Every Realm is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Su Bai knew the general Cultivation process for Core Formation.
She also knew that even within the same Realm in Core Formation, the difference in strength could be vast.
Aside from trump cards like Magic Treasure, cultivation is also a method to distinguish and identify powerhouses.
For example, everyone might be at Core Formation First Layer, but one Cultivator has completed eight saturations, while another has just completed three.
That difference of five saturations is enough to make the Core Formation Cultivator with eight saturations much stronger, whether in terms of endurance or the power of their Spells, than the one with three saturations.
"Mhm, this can serve as a reference."
Although this particular point wasn't of much use to Su Bai, as she wasn't a conventional Cultivator during her Core Formation Stage.
However, this information allowed Su Bai to discern the typical strength of a normal Core Formation Cultivator.
And the Jade Slip given by Zhang Zihua also convinced Su Bai that in the Core Formation Stage, as long as she faced opponents of the same rank, she would definitely be invincible.
With the amplification of the Three Meridians Seven Chakras and her current fifty-two Physique attribute points, after activating the Divine Ability Heavenly Thunder Transformation, unless a Nascent Soul cultivator personally intervened, she could make Core Formation Late Stage and even Core Formation Peak Cultivators run all over the place.
After finishing the Core Formation Cultivation insights, there were some of Zhang Zihua's observations.
According to the content left by Zhang Zihua:
The Cultivation World Su Bai was currently in was called Great Yun, composed of several countries.
And the Cultivation World on the other side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range was called Xuantian, a much vaster Cultivation World.
Furthermore, the content left by Zhang Zihua constantly disparaged the Great Yun Cultivation World.
It said that the Great Yun Cultivation World was too scarce, and Cultivators could only rely on Spiritual Veins for Cultivation.
To Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, they could only rely on Fourth-tier Spiritual Veins.
Xuantian was different; Spiritual Qi was abundant there, and the role of Spiritual Veins was to produce Spirit Stone mineral veins, as well as some accompanying treasures, used to assist Cultivation or refine Magic Treasures.
Cultivators there wouldn't confine themselves to one place; they could Cultivate anywhere.
The reason Zhang Zihua disparaged the Great Yun Cultivation World was that after several millennia, not a single Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator had emerged.
He said that the Cultivators here were too complacent, and after a thousand years, they hadn't thought of changing.
Relying solely on Spiritual Veins for Cultivation, the time taken to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul Middle Stage was too long, long enough to exhaust a Nascent Soul cultivator's Lifespan.
Even with longevity-extending pills and other treasures, a Nascent Soul cultivator could extend their Lifespan to over two thousand years, yet even then, breaking through to the Middle Stage was difficult.
But Zhang Zihua looked down on this place.
Seeing this, Su Bai pouted.
"If you look down on this place, then why did you open Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion here?"
Su Bai didn't know Zhang Zihua's designs and schemes. Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was opened everywhere to collect intelligence from all sides and search for the secret of Ascension.
However, Su Bai also realized that no matter what, she would have to leave the Great Yun Cultivation World in the future and go to the other side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
At the end of the Jade Slip's content, Zhang Zihua also reminded her that it was best to Cultivate to Core Formation Late Stage, or after advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, to directly go to the other side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range to Cultivate.
"Mystic Heaven Cultivation World, huh…"
Muttering the name of the other Cultivation World, Su Bai put away the Jade Slip.
Now was not the time to think about these things.
Su Bai only wanted to rescue Xu Changge as soon as possible.
Although she had asked Zhang Zihua before he left, Su Bai would not place her hopes on others.
She drew out the Secret Realm Restrictions she had seen, as well as the Formation patterns around Xu Changge, and then began to study them.
In Su Bai's mind, she needed to at least create something that could replace Xu Changge sitting in the Formation.
That way, Xu Changge could be freed.
Even if the Yin Corpses attacked the Formation then, Xu Changge would not be harmed.
Looking at the ebony boat placed in the courtyard, she decided to re-refine it first, repair the misaligned Formations, and see if the unstable parts could be reinforced.
Besides repairing the ebony boat, Su Bai looked at the wooden vine in the corner of the courtyard.
Aside from the seven flowers of different colors that had bloomed on it, it was no different from an ordinary plant.
Even a Spiritual Plant would have some Spiritual Qi.
This Immortal Vine had no Spiritual Qi at all, just like when it was a seed.
Aside from being tough, it was useless.
That's right, it was very tough, Su Bai had tried it.
When this Immortal Vine sprouted and grew, she had tried to pluck a leaf, but no matter how much force Su Bai used, the leaf just wouldn't come off.
Su Bai's strength was considerable, yet she had no way against the Immortal Vine when it had just grown leaves and bloomed.
But there was nothing extraordinary about the Immortal Vine's appearance.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Either wait for the Immortal Vine to fully mature, or Treasure Distribution Rock could tell her the answer.
Because of previous experiences, Su Bai felt that this Immortal Vine should be an item she could use in the Core Formation Stage.
Furthermore, with her current ability, she could continue to replenish Spiritual Qi into Treasure Distribution Rock to improve its quality.
Su Bai felt that perhaps the next item she obtained would be related to this Immortal Vine.
Whether it was the name of the Immortal Vine or how to use it, she should know.
So, next up:
Su Bai's task was, first, to repair the ebony boat.
Then, continue to comprehend the Third-tier Talisman Master Legacy and the Third-tier Artifact Refining Legacy.
Every day, besides continuing to use Creation Essence to water the mysterious Immortal Vine, she would go to Treasure Distribution Rock and fill it with her Spiritual Qi, hoping to obtain the next treasure soon.
Time flew by, and two years passed.
After routinely adding the newly acquired attribute points to her Physique, Su Bai looked at the Treasure Distribution Rock before her.
After two years of effort, Treasure Distribution Rock had finally absorbed enough Spiritual Qi, and a new treasure was about to appear.
"Come out quickly, otherwise, giving you Spiritual Qi every day, even I won't be able to handle it eventually."
As Su Bai muttered.
She eagerly watched a bright light flash across Treasure Distribution Rock.
Then a scroll was "spat" out.
Reaching out to grab the scroll, feeling the cool metallic texture in her hand, Su Bai tilted her head slightly in confusion.
This scroll was surprisingly not made of silk or satin, but metal, and its name was…
"Primordial Chaos Treasure Mirror?"
