Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Time passed day by day.

As the spiritual liquid continued to wash over him, the barrier to the completion of the Core Formation stage within Gu Chen's body began to tremble violently.

Countless pure true essences surged into the dantian. The originally condensed, perfect, and extremely stable dantian essence was rapidly compressed, transformed, and reorganized under the impetus of the Blood Transformation Mystic Art.

The difference between the middle four realms and the upper three realms is like heaven and earth, a qualitative gap!

From the seventh to the fourth rank, all are focused on refining true essence and strengthening the foundation, preventing the spirit from being released outwards.

The third-grade Grandmaster realm is the first major hurdle on a cultivator's path of cultivation. It forges the spiritual platform, stabilizes the foundation of the Dao, allows the soul to leave the Niwan point and be released to defend against enemies, and truly allows one to step into the top three realms!

Although Gu Chen was able to project his divine soul outwards before.

However, this is fundamentally different from releasing one's spirit after it has been forged, allowing the soul to be refined by the spirit platform.

If Gu Chen undergoes this transformation, he will become even stronger.

Boom!

At a certain moment, an invisible roar came from within Gu Chen's dantian, and the barrier of his realm that had been imprisoned for so long shattered!

A massive amount of seven-colored spiritual liquid instantly poured into his dantian, completely dissolving the shattered dantian essence. In its place were strands of extremely refined Grandmaster-level True Essence, far exceeding the previous essence by a hundred times.

The shackles of the Core Formation Realm's Perfection have been broken!

break!

In an instant, the entire Spirit Gathering Pool surged with wind and clouds, and endless rays of light shot into the sky. All the originally scattered seven-colored spiritual energy gathered on Gu Chen's body!

Breaking through the strange phenomenon, it suddenly descended!

The Niwan Palace above his head slowly opened, and a crystal-clear spiritual platform, about an inch in size, slowly took shape, hovering three feet above his head.

His spiritual platform was as clear as jade, with Daoist energy flowing freely, and strands of divine soul power emanating outwards, sweeping across the entire Spirit Gathering Pool.

He reached the early stage of the third-grade Grandmaster realm.

Only those at the third-grade Grandmaster level can forge a spiritual platform and release their divine soul; Gu Chen has now achieved this.

Now that he has officially broken through to the Grandmaster realm, his spiritual power has surged again. His original early-stage Sage realm spiritual power has become more refined and profound, reaching the mid-stage Sage realm level.

The power of the Soul Piercing Cone secret technique increased accordingly, and its divine soul pressure spread out, causing the three hundred geniuses around to tremble and awaken them from their cultivation.

"What terrifying pressure on the soul."

"Brother rogue cultivator's spiritual power has improved again."

In the center of the Spirit Gathering Pool, Gu Chen's body was surrounded by a blend of crimson light and seven-colored spiritual energy, which transformed into endless crimson Dao patterns that swirled around his body. The Blood Transformation Profound Technique was running at full power, and the technique allowed his true essence to undergo a complete transformation.

Previously, he could only rely on the killing power of the five kinds of fused true essences. Now, with the exclusive blood-transforming true essence born from the Blood Transforming Profound Technique, when he uses the Blood Transforming Nine Blades, every move he makes carries the bloody and domineering aura of a grandmaster.

The four forms of the Blood-Transforming Nine Blades technique have all their power unlocked to the limit. Blood stains a thousand peaks, cuts through a thousand armies, surges through a thousand layers, and covers mountains and rivers. Each of the first three forms can perfectly overwhelm a Grandmaster of the same realm, and the fourth form can even fight against a mid-stage Sage.

The Blood Transformation Blade, a top-grade Earth-rank treasure weapon in his hand, trembled slightly, as if sensing its master's breakthrough and advancement. The blood-red light on the blade surged, and its sharpness and killing aura far surpassed those of the past.

It also seems to have been baptized.

Let it kill some more people, and then nurture it for a period of time with the true essence of a grandmaster and the divine soul of a sage.

Perhaps spirituality can be born from it.

It has transformed into a Heavenly-level treasure weapon.

soon.

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.

After the purification at the Spirit Gathering Pool ended, the radiant glow of the sky slowly faded, and the surging spiritual liquid returned to calm.

Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes, two sharp glints flashing from the depths of his eyes, deep and cold, concealing endless killing intent.

At this moment, his aura was restrained and without trace, and he still seemed gentle and ordinary, like an ordinary low-level rogue cultivator. No one could see through his true strength.

Only Gu Chen himself knew that this breakthrough in the Spirit Gathering Pool had brought about a comprehensive upgrade to his foundation, physical body, soul, cultivation techniques, and combat power.

Within the Grandmaster realm, he is invincible!

Even when facing a second-grade sage in the early stage, he can still crush and kill them head-on by relying on his supreme physique, the Void Saint Body, the inherited techniques of the terrestrial immortals, the secret arts of the soul, and the fourth form of the Blood Transformation Nine Blades!

If a mid-stage Sage uses the divine power of the Void Sacred Body, the Void Divine Light, they can also kill.

He was invincible in this secret realm.

The period is fifteen days.

It wasn't just Gu Chen who broke through.

Many prodigies followed suit and broke through to the next level.

The young barbarian king, who was defeated by Gu Chen and then challenged, became brave after being ashamed and actually took advantage of the opportunity at the Spirit Gathering Pool.

He broke through to the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Not just him.

The Buddhist monk Xuanku, the Taoist monk Xuxu, and Ying Ba of the Divine Dynasty royal family also broke through to the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Only Koizumi Tsutomu failed to break through. He was too badly injured by Gu Chen, and after recovering from his injuries, he barely reached the peak of the mid-stage Grandmaster.

The other experts who were at the early stage of the Grandmaster level broke through to the middle stage of the Grandmaster level.

Of those who reached the peak of the Core Formation stage, half of them broke through to the half-step Grandmaster stage, and a small number of them directly entered the early stage of the Grandmaster stage.

Those half-step Grandmasters have basically all entered the early stage of Grandmaster.

This opportunity at the Spirit Gathering Pool has come to an end.

The secret realm has twelve major regions, with at least several hundred more Grandmasters.

And many mid-stage Grandmasters, and even late-stage Grandmasters.

The process of forming the Golden Core and transforming into the Sea of ​​Qi will be much more direct.

Because those geniuses outside the Spirit Gathering Pool also enjoyed a hundred times the spiritual energy and gained considerable improvement.

After fifteen days of absorption, the True Essence Liquid accumulated in the Spirit Gathering Pool over fifty years has been almost completely absorbed.

The isolation formation was activated again.

All the prodigies in the Spirit Gathering Pool were teleported out.

No more spiritual energy overflowed from the pool.

The Spirit Gathering Array began to operate slowly, accumulating true essence and spiritual liquid anew.

The next cycle of creation will begin.

That will be fifty years after the next opening of the secret realm.

With the end of the opportunity at the Spirit Gathering Pool, the entire Spirit Platform Island secret realm trembled violently.

Because the twelve major regions are about to be connected.

All the top talents from all regions will gather.

Head to the central inheritance site of the secret realm to compete for the inheritance of this ancient sect.

Rumble.

At the same time, towering golden pillars of light illuminated the skies of the twelve regions, piercing through heaven and earth. Ancient and boundless Daoist chants echoed throughout the entire secret realm, deep and resonant, carrying the vicissitudes of ancient times.

A magnificent and ancient celestial sound resounded in the ears of all the prodigies:

"The trials of the twelve major regions have ended."

"The restrictions on the Central Ancient Heritage Site have been lifted."

"One day from now, the central inheritance ground of the secret realm will officially open. All the geniuses from the twelve regions can enter the inheritance ground to compete for the supreme inheritance of the ancient sects!"

The earth-shattering sound subsided.

moment.

Countless geniuses from the twelve regions soared into the sky, transforming into streaks of light and hurtling towards the center of the secret realm.

soon.

The entire central area of ​​the Lingtai Island secret realm was now fully revealed to everyone.

This place is the former site of an ancient super sect that was destroyed countless years ago. It is vast, with towering mountains, ancient palaces, and broken walls scattered all over the land.

Everywhere you look, you can see broken ancient jade steps, collapsed towering palaces, and mottled sect inscriptions. The traces of time erosion are everywhere, yet you can still glimpse the former supreme prosperity and magnificent grandeur of the ancient sects.

In the center of the secret realm stands a towering main peak that leads straight to the sea of ​​clouds. At the summit of this main peak lies the ultimate opportunity of this secret realm, the core of the ancient sect's inheritance.

Layers of golden light enveloped the main peak; that was the final seal, which would completely dissipate in a day.

The battle for succession will only officially begin at that time.
