It wasn’t that Xu Yang was useless, after over twenty years of development, unable to come up with even a bit of Spirit Stone, but rather that Fish and Dragon Island was currently in its initial stage. Various investments were inevitable, and on top of that, he had devised a plan that had consumed most of his assets, leaving him with few Spirit Stones to spare.
This was also one of the reasons behind his current actions.
Apart from testing the Three Sects of Golden Core and peering into the foundation of the Liang Kingdom Cultivation Realm, he also needed to seize the opportunity to fill in the shortages, or the development of Fish and Dragon Island would inevitably be affected due to the lack of Spirit Stones.
Although the consumption was enormous, compared to the original Great Ritual, the Yuan Spirit version of Luotian Dajiao also had a unique advantage, which was the time required to set it up.
As a Great Ritual, the original Luotian Dajiao required the sincere hearts and souls of myriad people, worshiping for forty-nine days to achieve the best effect.
However, the Yuan Spirit version of Luotian Dajiao replaced the souls of the people with the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit, using Spirit Stones as a highly efficient means of conveyance, one could imagine the speed of the arrangement.
The people of Fish and Dragon Island operated at full speed, and in less than half a day, the Nine Ceremony High Altar was erected.
Xu Yang ascended the altar, performed the ritual, and activated the power of the Ten Direction Array, substituting the Spirit Stone crystals offered by myriad people, which radiated splendor. Strands of brilliance, like incense smoke, rose into the sky, transforming into the power of the ritual.
Xu Yang sat cross-legged atop the altar and began to make his breakthrough.
To form a Golden Core, one must cultivate the Five Qi within the human body. When the Five Qi converge towards the Yuan, a Golden Core will coalesce and enter the belly.
Wandao School had already demonstrated the Cultivation Technique. Martial Path called it Yuan Core, External Cultivation named it Yuan Fetus, and Taoism’s Yuan Sprit was known as Yang God Gold Core.
Xu Yang cultivated both internally and externally, combining four methods into one. He cultivated the Yuan Core internally and the Yuan Fetus externally. He achieved the Yang God through Taoism and the Gold Core through the condensation of the Yuan Spirit.
Great Dao is Three Thousand, all paths lead to the same destination; these four major systems of cultivation also provided mutual insights. Taoist Martial True Scripture combined with the power of the ritual and the aid of Skill Traits…
The breakthrough was natural and unhindered!
It was not only without hindrance, but he also received great support from behind.
Xu Yang sat on the altar, the Five Qi of his body ascended towards the Yuan. Within this inner world, Chaos coalesced into a mass, gathering strength and blessing from all directions and gradually taking the shape of a Golden Core, which then sank into the Dantian and merged into the Sea of Qi.
With a Golden Core ingested into the belly, his fate was in his own hands, not dictated by the heavens!
The power of the ritual transformed into law, and the Yuan Spirit Golden Core was formed.
However, the breakthrough in his realm had not ended there.
Following the Sea of Qi in the Dantian, another layer of light appeared.
A layer of Chaos Yuan light enveloped the Dantian.
This was the Martial Path Yuan Core, condensed by the Martial Path Yuan Skill.
Beyond the Martial Path Yuan Core, there surged a tide of Qi Blood.
The surge of Qi Blood was tumultuous, but it had not yet formed a physical vessel.
Because the human body was the vessel itself.
Body Training, Body Training was about cultivating this fleshly body, this physical form.
Therefore, the realm of Body Training Yuan Fetus did not involve physically forming a fetus but further strengthening the physical body, using the existing shell as the Yuan Fetus.
With Qi Blood as the tide and the world stable, the External Cultivation Yuan Fetus was also achieved.
In the end, there was only…
Xu Yang’s consciousness sank into the Dantian.
Instantly, the Golden Core vibrated, a spark of creation transformed his phantom Yin Spirit into a substantial body.
Pure Yang Creation!
The Golden Core of the World of Dao and Law had a huge advantage over the Golden Core in the real world of Cultivation: the Yang God.
The Golden Core of Taoism, through Pure Yang Creation, could achieve a Yang God Soul which could leave the body to Travel Heaven and Earth.
This was something that Cultivators of the real world could not match.
According to Xu Yang’s research, in this world one must advance through Eight Realms, which is the Divinity Transformation realm before their Divine Soul’s nature could be comparable to the Yang God of the World of Dao and Law.
For Xu Yang, this was not a surprise; after all, specialization is key. The World of Dao and Law focused on the Divine Soul, possessing a unique advantage, which was only natural.
As long as it was beneficial to him, he did not care whether it came from which world or which system’s Mana Point.
With Pure Yang Creation, a flicker of inspiration transformed his Yin Spirit into a powerful Yang God, with greatly increased strength and divine power.
All four major Cultivation methods had broken through to the Golden Core.
Yet, Xu Yang did not rise immediately.
He still had an important matter to attend to.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
In the empty space, Spirit Light flickered, and one Storage Bag after another flew out, opening themselves to release streams of Sprit Light.
Contained within the Spirit Light were Magic Artifacts, all uniformly crafted.
Over twenty years of development, the Spirit Monsters of Fish and Dragon Island each had their tasks, with all Hundred Arts of Cultivation developing.
But the most numerous, largest in scale, and highest in productivity was Artifact Refining.
Ten years ago, the development focus of Fish and Dragon Island shifted to Artifact Refining, pouring a great deal of resources and manpower into it. The number of Artifact Refiners was several times that of Pill Masters, Formation Masters, and Talisman Masters.
Furthermore, various Spirit Monsters were also capable of producing some materials: birds shed feathers, clam girls produced pearls, and the exoskeletons of shrimp and crabs were shed. There were various self-produced materials, plus those Xu Yang went out to purchase…
Fish and Dragon Island put in most of its wealth into the vigorous “Great Artifact Refining” plan.
To this day, the number of standard Magic Artifacts on Fish and Dragon Island had reached a staggering hundred thousand!
A hundred thousand pieces, although the vast majority were low-grade and mid-grade Magic Artifacts, this quantity was still quite astonishing.
A single Magic Artifact, even one made with the poorest materials and the shoddiest workmanship, was worth dozens of Spirit Stones.
A hundred thousand Magic Artifacts, at the very least, would cost several million Spirit Stones.
Were those from Fish and Dragon Island the lowest quality?
Clearly not.
These Magic Artifacts were made with good materials, and the workmanship was excellent, most of them were high-grade, with a few even classified as superior quality.
After all, the Artifact Refiners from Fish and Dragon Island were all personally taught by Xu Yang, with various traits from the Teacher’s skills enhancing their craft. All their works were of good quality, so naturally, their products were excellent.
These hundred thousand Magic Artifacts, just in terms of cost, were valued at eight million Spirit Stones. If they were to be sold as goods, they could easily yield a profit of twenty million Spirit Stones.
