Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

He shifted his gaze from the empty jade platform to the other side.

Over there are the third-tier magic treasures he has accumulated over the years.

Nine Luminaries Thunder Pool, Golden Phoenix Bow, Profound Yin Ghost Hand, Crimson Feather Golden Robe—these four items were obtained by him when he was guarding Cangyun Mountain during his Foundation Establishment period, and they accompanied him in hunting Core Formation cultivators.

Then came the magical treasures acquired successively in sects and secret realms: the Lingyuan Palace, a palace-like magical treasure; the Teleportation Boots; and a silver-gray third-tier beast-patterned spirit boat.

The three magical treasures given by the Luo family are also here.

The Flying Swallow Sword Seal, when activated, can unleash a vast array of flying swallow sword energy.

The Azure Jade Ring, when unleashed, transforms into a ring of azure light to lock onto the opponent.

The thick earthen shield, a small, earthen-yellow shield, hangs on the jade platform; its defensive capabilities are not weak.

There are a total of ten third-tier magic treasures.

Lin Zhao stood in front of the jade platform and examined each of the magical treasures one by one.

To be honest, he is indeed quite wealthy.

It's considered good if an ordinary Core Formation cultivator has one or two third-tier magic treasures.

It's rare for someone in the early stages of Core Formation to produce ten third-tier magic treasures, even within the entire sect.

The problem is that among these ten items, very few can be considered masterpieces.

Most of his attributes don't quite match his, so he can only be used as a transitional character, and his potential for advancement is extremely limited.

In the future, there will probably be very few who can follow him to the Nascent Soul stage.

He is now a third-tier weapon refiner.

It's time to craft a few truly useful magical artifacts tailored to my needs.

Actually, the most important thing to refine first is your natal magic weapon.

His original plan was to choose one item from the Ruins Furnace, the Five Emperors Seal, the Azure Lotus Sword, the Divine Soul Sword Tower, and the Five Sacred Mountains Treasures as his natal magic weapon.

But the situation is different now. He already has his natal magic weapon.

Tianxin Falun.

The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel is a supernatural power, but when supernatural powers reach an extremely high level, they can be transformed into magical treasures through special means, or rather, many magical treasures are evolved from supernatural powers.

First, spells are constructed using basic runes. Spells are then elevated to supernatural powers. Supernatural powers are then transformed and solidified to form magical treasures. Most magical treasures in the cultivation world are created in this way.

The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel will become the core of his future creation of the Dharma Realm—controlling the operation of the Dharma Realm and governing the Five Elements and the Ten Directions.

Even if one day in the future he destroys the grotto-heaven and opens up the world,

The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel will transform into the will of that realm, governing and managing the entire world in his place, just like the Way of Heaven.

There's no rush regarding my natal magic weapon.

He planned to first refine the Ruins Furnace and the Five Emperors Seal.

If the Guixu Furnace is successfully forged, it will greatly accelerate his cultivation speed in the Core Formation stage.

Each advancement for a Core Formation cultivator takes at least several decades or even hundreds of years, and their magical power is ten times that of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, consuming even more spiritual energy.

Having a magic weapon that matches your cultivation technique can greatly speed up your cultivation process.

He can use the Five Emperors Seal easily now, but after it is refined into a magic weapon, the consumption of magic power will be greatly reduced, and it can be used as a regular method.

The attributes of this magical artifact perfectly match the Five Sacred Mountains Avatar—without the blessing of the Heavenly Heart Wheel, the Five Sacred Mountains Avatar is not as powerful as the original body. With the Five Emperors Seal in hand, this can be made up for.

The Azure Lotus Sword, which was originally intended as a spare, can now be used by the Azure Lotus clone.

They are of the same origin, essentially like a natal magic weapon.

Unfortunately, the Azure Lotus Sword is still only a second-tier superior-grade weapon. Upgrading it requires rare resources—which are hard to find outside and can only be obtained by exchanging the sect's Cloud Sea Jade Tokens.

The Divine Soul Sword Tower is a magical artifact crafted using the Divine Soul Sword Tower as a template, specializing in spiritual attacks. Spiritual attacks are even more awe-inspiring than sword cultivation.

This path was originally the most difficult to walk, but because of the suppression by the Heavenly Heart Falun, this path is easy to traverse.

When combined with the swordsman's attack from the Azure Lotus Dharma Body, the Azure Lotus Dharma Body's offensive power will reach its peak.

Originally, there was a fifth item: the Five Sacred Mountains Treasures, which, together with the Five Sacred Mountains Spiritual Bodies, used the Dharma Domain as the foundation and the Spiritual Bodies as the array flags, following the path of array cultivation.

But he already possessed the Five Prisons Suppressing Heavenly Dragon.

That great divine power not only transformed the Five Sacred Mountains into the Five Prisons, but also preserved all the original characteristics of the Five Sacred Mountains' spiritual bodies completely.

The Seven Spirits can still be summoned, but they are too weak in the face of the overwhelming power of the Five Prisons Revolving, so there is no need to go back and forge another Five Sacred Mountains magic weapon.

Four magical treasures: the Ruins Furnace, the Five Emperors Seal, the Azure Lotus Sword, and the Divine Soul Sword Tower.

These four items will be his core treasures for the next few hundred years.

As one's cultivation level increases, other magical treasures will gradually be phased out, one by one.

But these four magical treasures won't be for the time being—they can grow with him, reaching the Nascent Soul stage, or even further.

The problem is that these are all high-quality items, and the materials required are not cheap.

Preliminary estimates suggest that at least a hundred Cloud Sea Jade Talismans will be needed.

He obtained fifty Cloud Sea Jade Talismans in the previous sect competition, but he exchanged thirty of them for a top-grade third-tier substitute talisman, leaving him with only twenty.

Far from enough.

Fortunately, the sect has another reward channel specifically for prodigies.

Cloud Tower Challenge.

The seventh to ninth levels of the sect's Cloud Tower correspond to the Core Formation stage. The tenth level is the Nascent Soul stage.

The completion time is no longer 15 minutes, but 1 hour. As long as you complete the level within 1 hour, you will receive a reward.

Upon passing the seventh level, you will receive twenty Cloud Sea Jade Talismans and one million contribution points.

Upon passing the eighth level, you will receive fifty Cloud Sea Jade Talismans and two million contribution points.

Upon passing the ninth level, you will receive one hundred Cloud Sea Jade Talismans and five million contribution points.

All three levels were cleared, yielding a total of 170 Cloud Sea Jade Talismans and 8 million contribution points.

Core Formation and Foundation Establishment are two completely different realms.

He used to struggle to earn tens of thousands of contribution points by completing tasks, but now he has eight million just from clearing the tower.

Moreover, contribution points are just a side benefit; the Cloud Sea Jade Token is the real prize.

Of course, it depends on whether you have the ability to get it.

He arrived at the Cloud Jade Platform and put these magical treasures into his storage ring one by one.

Then Lin Zhao applied to enter the Cloud Tower.

The moment you step inside the tower, the space transforms abruptly.

From the outside, the cloud tower is only a hundred feet tall, but the internal space of the seventh floor is over a hundred miles long.

Back then, he couldn't see through the Cloud Tower's methods, but now, looking at it again, the Cloud Tower space is clearly a Dharma Realm—a Dharma Realm created by a fifth-order spiritual treasure.

There are actually many sect cloud towers.

There is one celestial city in the clouds above, and several more within the sect.

He hadn't thought anything was wrong before, but now he realized that those were projections of the real Cloud Tower.

Moreover, the Cloud Tower definitely has more than ten floors—it's just that the sect's rewards only go up to the tenth floor, the early Nascent Soul stage.

This cloud tower is probably of a high rank among fifth-tier spiritual treasures.

Lin Zhao had some doubts: could it conjure up power at the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord level, or could the Cloud Tower really only conjure up people inside the tower?

What if it were outside?

It's most likely possible.

The Luo Tian Palace in his hand can manifest Nascent Soul battle power.

The capabilities of a fifth-tier cloud tower cannot be inferior to its.

If we could actually conjure up a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord, then the Cloud Tower's purpose would probably extend beyond just being used by sects for trials.

It's probably a fifth-tier war artifact, perfect for pairing with Cloud Sea Immortal City for a grand expedition.

Lin Zhao felt that he had grasped some of the truth about the Cloud Tower.
