Chapter 1164: Chapter 454: The Final Step, Near Success Turns to Failure, Ascendant Sect’s Domination, The Only Way is Core Formation!_2

Luo Chen was startled.

Then, his face changed dramatically.

"How is this possible!"

The wind roared suddenly, like a dragon’s howl!

The clouds dispersed abruptly, like dissipating smoke!

What was originally a state of Spirit Qi reversal, in the next moment, turned into a surge, rushing towards all directions around Tianlan Peak.

Upon seeing this, Fengyue Fairy was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"Strange, it was already mostly successful, just the final step was left, why did it turn out like this?"

Hao Ranzi sighed, expressing his regret, "What a pity, so close to success and yet to fail at the final hurdle."

Luo Chen, who had appeared utterly calm and composed, couldn’t help but have a gloomy expression in the face of this situation.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"I’m sorry, both seniors."

"An issue has occurred with my sect disciple’s Core Formation today, and I’m afraid I can’t entertain you."

"Another day, I will surely visit personally."

The last sentence was directed at Fengyue Fairy.

Fengyue Fairy pondered for a moment, and her Emei faintly nodded.

Hao Ranzi offered Luo Chen a few words of encouragement, then departed.

After they left, Luo Chen swept his sleeves, and the misty clouds cloaking the Jia Third Cave Mansion parted, forming a narrow path for him to tread on.

...

"Why did it fail!"

"I...puh..."

Luo Chen suppressed the urgency in his heart and asked no further.

He looked at Chu Kui, whose face was ashen, and whose Spirit Qi was raging uncontrollably, and his hands moved swiftly in succession.

Streams of pure Qinghua Spirit Power were infused into Chu Kui’s body, one after another.

However, after applying the healing technique for a while, he could see that the other’s condition was deteriorating further, almost to the point of death.

"No!"

"Can’t hold it back, can’t smooth it out, it must be released!"

Luo Chen frowned and, making a rapid decision, he took out a grey pill from his storage bag.

"Swallow this!"

Chu Kui’s dazed eyes looked at the pill, hesitating for a moment.

"Take this Spirit-Dispelling Pill!" Luo Chen pressed urgently, "If your cultivation level is gone, you can still recultivate it back. If your life is gone, all your efforts in this life will go down the drain."

Chu Kui gave a bitter smile.

If his cultivation level was gone, wasn’t it the same as everything going down the drain?

Seeing his hesitation, Luo Chen couldn’t help but roar lowly.

"If the green hills are left, there’s no fear of no firewood. I am here, and the Luo Tian Creed is here. With your hundred years of lifespan, you still have a chance at Core Formation!"

Chu Kui looked deeply at Luo Chen and opened his mouth.

A Three Order Spirit-Dispelling Pill entered his body.

The power of the medicine surged instantly.

Chu Kui’s body suddenly made popping sounds.

It was like an airbag filled with water, being poked with holes.

The rampaging Spirit Qi in his body also spewed out through these small holes, from inside his body.

Meanwhile, the pure Spirit Power he had painstakingly cultivated over the years was also slipping away.

Not only that, his realm was even showing signs of collapse.

The massive outflow of Spirit Qi caused a windstorm to arise in the cultivation room.

The storm blew fiercely, making Luo Chen’s robe and gray hair flutter wildly.

Luo Chen, watching this unfold, was also not just standing by idly.

One after another, items were taken out of his storage bag.

Fortifying Barrier Talisman!

The Sea of Qi might be breached, but it cannot be destroyed.

The river water may flow away, but the riverbed must always be preserved.

Heart Clearing Incense!

Dispel distractions, hold true to one’s own heart.

Failure is not scary. What’s frightening is being shattered by failure, mind and spirit collapsing. One must ensure that the cultivator who failed the breakthrough stays firm in their resolve at this moment.

As the incense began to burn, Luo Chen’s hands began moving swiftly once again.

Healing Technique Finalization, healing skin and body.

Five Elements Return to Viscera Technique, protecting the five viscera and six bowels.

Spring Breeze Rain Technique, repairing the damaged meridians.

...

Under Luo Chen’s continuous efforts, three days and nights later.

Chu Kui’s condition finally stabilized.

He still looked very weak, but his foundation had ultimately been preserved.

"Ninth Level Foundation Establishment, Chu Kui, I’ve done my best!"

Chu Kui felt his condition. The previous perfectly round and satisfactory state of Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization was now reduced to just entering the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment.

And the condition inside his body was even worse.

Especially, the thirty-six Spirit Beads he had previously condensed, not a single one remained.

Although the situation was dire,

it still left him with a shred of hope.

He moved his lips with difficulty and uttered two words.

"Thank you!"

Watching Chu Kui seated in a meditative pose, head bowed in dejection, Luo Chen couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Why did this happen, couldn’t you take that last step?"

Chu Kui spoke faintly, "Although Core Formation is difficult, I actually had already persevered through it. The final failure was due to a lingering illness."

"Lingering illness?"

Luo Chen didn’t understand.

Chu Kui sighed and, in front of Luo Chen, spat out a Golden Core.

It was not the Golden Core he had formed, but the Golden Core he had been using as a powerful tool since the Foundation Establishment Stage, left by another person.

"This..."

Luo Chen couldn’t believe it. Could Chu Kui’s failure in Core Formation be because of this object?

Chu Kui’s mood was low as he recounted the origins of this Golden Core.

He was one with great fortune!

In his Qi Refinement stage, he explored an ancient cave mansion with others and obtained a significant amount of resources.

Among those resources, the most precious was this Golden Core, preserved using a secret technique by someone.

With the help of the secret technique, he could stimulate this Golden Core and use it against his enemies.

Throughout his journey, Chu Kui’s path had not been smooth sailing.

Before meeting Luo Chen, he had gone through several life-and-death crises.

Each time, he relied on this trump card, the Golden Core, to turn the tide and reverse life-threatening situations.

But the more he used it, the more the pure Qi Power left in this Golden Core inadvertently merged into his own Spirit Power.
