Chapter 1233: Chapter 1233: Seven Hundred Years
The transformation from True God to Main God is most difficult at the stage of condensing the divine core.
Many Nine-star True Gods can easily accomplish the step of opening the Divine Sea, but ultimately collapse at the stage of condensing the divine core.
Even if the Divine Sea is stabilized successfully, if the divine core cannot be condensed, the Divine Sea is like a body without a heart, a dead thing. After some time, it will collapse and be destroyed.
As the Divine Sea is destroyed, the Dao Palace will also suffer great damage. Hao Yang suffered major damage to his Dao Palace due to failure in condensing the divine core.
For a Martial Artist, condensing the divine core is, simply put, the refining of the Laws. Using the Power of Laws embedded in the Divine Sea as the foundation, one condenses one’s own divine core.
This divine core is not just one, but five. Based on the five basic Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, a corresponding attribute divine core must be condensed, divided into one main and four auxiliary.
Once the five divine cores are condensed, they form a single entity. Inside the Dao Palace, they shape into a pentagram.
Jing Yan had already decided that he would condense the Main God Core using the Fire Attribute Principles because his Fire Attribute Principles are the strongest. Possessing the Fire Origin, he would continue to have the strongest efficiency in comprehension of the Fire Attribute Principles in future cultivation.
"Condense!" Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body shook sharply.
The vast Divine Soul Power quickly manipulated the Fire Attribute Principles within the Divine Sea to begin gathering.
The process of condensing the divine core is to connect these Laws together.
Under the control of Divine Soul Power, each strand and each Law began to connect rapidly.
Although the connection of Laws was quick, the entire process of condensing the divine core was very slow. Take Jing Yan as an example; he had millions of Fire Attribute Principles alone. Connecting all these millions of Laws into one is an enormous task, isn’t it?
The task is arduous, but there’s no way around it. Condensing the divine core has no shortcut. Anyone who wants to become a Main God must take this step. If one wants it easy, only by using the power of other divine cores to condense a Fake God Core, which is very simple, even a Nine-star True God with average qualification can accomplish it.
Time continuously passed by.
During the process of condensing the divine core, Jing Yan dared not use the Moro Time Tower to accelerate time.
Even when refining Elixirs, Jing Yan would not accelerate time, not to mention breaking through the realm to condense a divine core. A single oversight or minor error would lead to irreversible consequences.
Decades later, in Jing Yan’s Divine Sea, an entity of bright red condensing into a substantial light halo had become clearly visible.
The divine core condensed from Fire Attribute Principles had formed a prototype.
With eyes tightly closed, Jing Yan moved his finger, swallowing a Daozhen Pill. Condensing the divine core consumed an immense amount of Divine Soul Power. During the earlier phase of opening the Divine Sea, although Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body was also fatigued, he could persist.
Now, when the Divine Soul Body reached a certain level of fatigue, Jing Yan would swallow a Daozhen Pill.
A hundred years later, the Fire Attribute Divine Core finally radiated brilliance in Jing Yan’s Divine Sea.
This Main God Core successfully condensed.
The next step is to condense the divine cores of the other four attributes in sequence. Condensing these four auxiliary divine cores is naturally much simpler compared to the Main God Core. However, simple as they may be, the auxiliary divine cores are not unimportant.
Losing one of the four auxiliary divine cores is absolutely unacceptable. The five divine cores are one integral entity, and lacking one would make it impossible to maintain the balance of energy in the Divine Sea. This is akin to when Jing Yan comprehended the Laws; he couldn’t only comprehend the Fire Attribute Principles, and the proportion of Fire Attribute Principles among all Laws couldn’t be too large.
This involves a balance issue.
Among the auxiliary divine cores, Jing Yan first condensed the Earth Attribute Divine Core, followed by the Water Attribute Divine Core, then the Wood Attribute Divine Core, and lastly, the Gold Attribute Divine Core.
Three hundred years later, Jing Yan had separately completed the condensation of the Earth Attribute and Water Attribute Divine Cores, and began to solo on condensing the Wood Attribute Divine Core.
...
"Father, has Brother Yan not emerged yet?" Hao Yang stood deferentially before his father Hao Yuntian.
Hao Yuntian shook his head, "Since the last time you went into closed-door training together, he has not emerged from the cultivation chamber."
Several hundred years have passed by.
"Hao Yang, now that you have successfully condensed the divine core and entered the Main God realm, you must not forget Mr. Yan Jin’s kindness." Hao Yuntian looked at Hao Yang and said.
Now, Hao Yang is a Martial Artist truly in the Main God Realm. He had recently emerged from closed-door training. His Dao Palace had successfully evolved into a Divine Sea. Within the Divine Sea, the differently attributed and colored connected divine cores exude powerful power.
If not for the Nine Glories Pill refined by Jing Yan, Hao Yang would have lived his life as essentially only a Quasi Main God. It can be said that Jing Yan has rendered him the grace of rebirth.
"Father, I will never forget Brother Yan’s kindness in my lifetime," Hao Yang stated solemnly.
"Hmm." Hao Yuntian nodded in satisfaction.
"Father, do you think something might have gone wrong with Brother Yan’s attempt to condense his divine core? His strength is so formidable that even Zhao Duan was killed by him. If he wants to condense his divine core, it’s probably even more challenging than when I did. I succeeded in condensing the divine core thanks in part to the experience gained from a first failure. Brother Yan, however, this is entirely his first time." Hao Yang expressed some concern.
Hao Yuntian pondered.
Hao Yang’s words make sense. Generally, powerful Nine-star True Gods also face increased difficulty when stepping into the Main God realm.
"Mr. Yan Jin’s Martial Arts Talent is not comparable to yours. Perhaps he can succeed in a single attempt." Hao Yuntian spoke after a pause, though his tone seemed more like comforting himself and Hao Yang.
"Hmm, there isn’t much we can do to help now; Brother Yan can only rely on himself. Father, I shall go into closed-door training again to fill my Divine Sea." Hao Yang said.
"Go ahead!" Hao Yuntian waved his hand.
In this way, more than a hundred years passed, and Hao Yang emerged from closed-door training again.
This time, Hao Yang not only filled his Divine Sea but also comprehended the Sharp Gold Domain.
For Martial Artists in the Main God realm, comprehending super divine abilities becomes much easier. Their divine cores greatly assist in comprehending super divine abilities. Therefore, many ordinary Main Gods also possess super divine abilities, especially those who have long entered the Main God realm.
Hao Yang’s Martial Arts talent was already formidable. Back when he hunted Flame Demons in the Flame Demon Space for over six hundred years, he managed to rank in the top five on the Demon Hunting List, which already demonstrated his strength. After stepping into the Main God realm, comprehending the evolved Sharp Gold Domain from the Sharp Gold Divine Ability was quite normal.
"Father, Brother Yan..." Hao Yang’s expression was grave.
It has been nearly seven hundred years since the beginning, yet Jing Yan has not emerged. This last closed-door training alone has lasted close to six hundred years.
Hao Yang couldn’t help but worry if Jing Yan encountered problems when condensing his divine core.
Hao Yuntian also wore a grave expression.
