Chapter 321: Dragon Pearl Core Formation, Demon Blood Tattoo
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Li took out many things from his coffin. Every item here was a treasure that could cause a storm and bloodshed in the outside world.
However, these treasures were all in the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If word got out, probably not many people would believe it.
He summoned the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame again. The pure white flames turned into a small coiled snake in his hand.
The white fire snake’s eyes were lively and arrogant. Clearly, it had a certain amount of cognition and intelligence.
The Rock Mountain Range’s Holy Spirit had been refined, shedding its past life and becoming the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame’s fire spirit.
The white flaming snake stretched out its snake mouth and bit the floating Dragon Pearl. Then, the entire snake coiled around the pearl and burned fiercely.
Jiang Li had to roast all the spiritual remnants in the Dragon Pearl before he could use it safely.
This Dragon Pearl originated from ancient times and there was not much inside. It had only been imprinted by the Holy Spirit of the Rock Mountain Range before.
Now, with its help and the powerful white Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, it only took a little effort to completely eliminate the residue from the inside out.
At this moment, the coffin floated over automatically, and more than twenty Nine Nether Earth Fruits poured out.
These twenty or so Earth Fruits were divided into Yin and Wood attributes. They were even more plump and tempting than the one he had given his clone to eat. Each of them represented a human cultivator at the Golden Core realm.
They might have been rogue cultivators who had acted as bandits to rob others, or they might have been survivors of the Demon Sect’s forces. After they fell into Jiang Li’s hands, they finally became such spiritual root fruits one after another.
Jiang Li grabbed one of them and sent it into his mouth.
The skin of the fruit was dense, fragrant, and crisp. The flesh was dense like silk, and the juice was fresh and sweet. After it entered his mouth, his entire body felt comfortable and filled with spiritual qi, and he felt as if he was floating and about to become an immortal.
The higher the grade of the Spiritual Fruit of Heaven and Earth, the better the taste. If there was a limitless supply of this delicacy, once he ate one, he might continue eating them until the end of time.
Before eating the Earth Fruit, Jiang Li’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. If he was not careful, he would break through at any time.
At this moment, after consuming an Earth Fruit, the pure cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator surged into his body.
Immediately, the momentum of his breakthrough could no longer be stopped. The boundless spiritual qi in his body swelled to the limit.
As long as Jiang Li created a foundation point, all the spiritual qi would gather with this as the core. First, the pill would become illusory, then the illusory point would become corporeal, and finally, the corporeal point would become golden.
He grabbed the Dragon Pearl and scattered his blood essence on it before swallowing it.
Immediately, the pure spiritual qi in Jiang Li’s body went berserk and crazily surged towards the Dragon Pearl. This spiritual qi had been suppressed for too long and was waiting to be released when he broke through.
The Star Tower that had been calm for tens of thousands of years was also stirred at this moment.
High-grade spiritual qi gathered. Even the starlight floating in this space projected towards Jiang Li, mixed with spiritual qi, and surged towards Jiang Li’s Qi Sea.
The tidal-like energy was endless, but the foundation formed by the Dragon Pearl did not reject any of it. It did not show any signs of being unable to endure it.
In the cultivation world, most Foundation Establishment cultivators would choose a low-grade Yellow-rank to high-grade Profound-rank treasure as the core foundation of their Core Formation realm.
The first consideration was naturally what level of treasure one could even afford.
However, the principle of choosing a treasure for the Core Formation realm was not only about the grade of the chosen item.
Apart from that, there was also the issue of the success rate of Core Formation.
The higher the grade of the treasure used to reach the Core Formation realm, the stronger the cultivator would be after reaching the Core Formation realm, and their potential would also be greater. It sounded like it was beneficial without any harm.
However, the problem was that the better the treasure, the harder it was to break through.
Moreover, once the first Core Formation attempt failed, the difficulty of subsequent breakthroughs would become higher and higher. The origin potential of the cultivator would also suffer an irreparable loss.
Therefore, to most Foundation Establishment cultivators, the first thing they had to consider was whether they could successfully break through, not how strong they would be after breaking through.
Therefore, no matter how much one accumulated, it was best to choose the corresponding treasure to reach the Core Formation realm. Even many descendants of the cultivation families often did not choose a high-grade Profound-rank treasure to reach the Core Formation realm.
On the other hand, those who could use Earth-rank treasures to form their cores were usually only described in the fairytale books circulating in the market. People who could succeed were rare even in a hundred years.
If Jiang Li was like other cultivators and used an ordinary treasure to form his core, he would have long succeeded in breaking through.
However, the Dragon Pearl was a treasure that even Immortals who attained the Dao would fight for in ancient times.
With this, the difficulty of Core Formation was more than a hundred or a thousand times higher than using a high-grade Profound-rank artifact.
Even Jiang Li had to be fully prepared and did not dare to relax at all.
The Dragon Pearl seemed to have turned into a black hole as it absorbed all the spiritual qi.
On the other hand, the vast amount of cultivation spiritual qi in Jiang Li’s body was vanishing at a visible speed.
At this speed, it would not even take fifteen minutes for Jiang Li to fail his Core Formation because of insufficient cultivation.
However, he was not in a hurry. He picked up a Nine Nether Earth Fruit and took a bite from time to time.
The cultivation of more than twenty Golden Core cultivators was enough for him to last for an hour.
While eating another Earth Fruit, Jiang Li took out a translucent cold jade bowl and a diamond-shaped crystal that seemed like a work of art and was filled with golden threads.
It was a top-grade spirit stone equivalent to a million low-grade spirit stones!
Within a spirit mine, only two or three of such gorgeous crystals could be produced. It was an abnormally rare and valuable treasure, and very few cultivators used it as a form of currency.
This was something he had obtained when he raided the Hundred Tempering Mountain back then. If not for the fact that Jiang Li was the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance and had contributed a large number of resources to the Great Mountain Alliance, this top-grade spirit stone would not have fallen into his hands.
Next was the higher-grade Spirit Melting Liquid.
This thing was very rare even in the major cities of the Eastern Region.
One drop was enough to melt a Profound-rank artifact. If not for the fact that the production was too low and could not be controlled by spiritual qi, this would definitely be a great killing weapon in battle.
The next step was no different from the process of making high-grade spiritual liquid back then. However, he had to be more careful and not let the liquid touch his skin.
Soon, the Spirit Melting Liquid absorbed the spiritual qi filled with golden threads, turning into top-grade spiritual liquid that landed in the jade bowl.
Unlike the high-grade spiritual liquid that only had a trace of faint golden threads, this top-grade spiritual liquid was almost filled with golden threads that represented an extremely high-grade.
Jiang Li raised his head, and a few drops of golden liquid elegantly entered his mouth.
After holding the top-grade spiritual liquid for a few breaths, the small bowl made of cold jade also could not endure the burden and shattered into powder.
[Consumed a top-grade Spirit Melting Liquid. Added Status: Spiritual Qi Infusion (Top-grade)]
[Spiritual Qi Infusion (Top-grade): 50 points of top-grade spiritual qi absorbed per second. Duration: 30 seconds] (? +)
In the next second, top-grade golden spiritual qi erupted in Jiang Li’s body. The quality of the pure energy was actually several times higher than Jiang Li’s Nine Nether spiritual qi.
No wonder this level of spiritual qi could be considered top-grade. The value was a hundred times higher than high-grade spirit stones.
Any cultivator who took two breaths every day could increase their strength greatly, the quality of their spiritual qi would increase, and the spell techniques they used would be even more powerful than others.
Jiang Li slowed down the comfortable stimulation brought about by the high concentration of top-grade spiritual qi and extended this status on the character interface to infinity.
50 points of top-grade spiritual qi per second was completely enough to support the vast spiritual qi gap when Jiang Li broke through.
He was not afraid that the Dragon Pearl Golden Core would have a huge appetite. The more spiritual qi it absorbed when he reached the Core Formation realm, the happier he would be.
After eating a few more Nine Nether Earth Fruits, with the addition of 50 points of spiritual qi per second, he could already achieve balance in his body.
In theory, as long as he slept now, the Golden Core in his body would automatically form in a few days.
However, Jiang Li was a man who cultivated the three elements of Qi, Body, and Spirit. His Core Formation was far from over.
After tearing off the right sleeve, the Hundred Beast Blood Tattoo on the entire right arm had already turned from red to black.
This was the permanent blood tattoo that Jiang Li had left on his body when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm. It brought him incomparable physical strength and the enhancement of powerful body cultivation.
This blood tattoo would remain permanently even without Jiang Li’s status bar modification.
However, it also had two different states of active and stable.
Between the two, although the buff would not change much, during the active period, the cultivator would be unable to continue adding beast blood tattoos on their body.
According to the strength of the beast blood tattoo, it would enter a stable period after one to several months.
This was also the reason why Jiang Li did not draw the second tattoo after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm. He had been waiting for the Hundred Beast Blood Tattoo to cool down.
However, who would have thought that he would actually wait until he reached the Core Formation realm? This really made him feel a little helpless.
Up until now, the Hundred Beast Blood Tattoo had finally entered a stable period. Jiang Li also planned to carve a second tattoo on his body to break through the advancement of body cultivation.
The blood he planned to use was the Asura Lord’s blood of madness!
The owner of this jar of blood was an Asura Lord who could punch the spatial crack and expand it a hundred times.
Through the crack, the aura that leaked out could make all the Soul Formation cultivators tremble.
Jiang Li could not imagine how powerful it was.
In order to master this power, he had been preparing since the Qi Refinement realm.
Of his current four clones, three were related to the Asura World, and one was a native creature of the Asura World.
After many attempts, Jiang Li finally had the opportunity and confidence to encroach on the power of chaos within the blood of madness.
This jar of blood of madness had already been completely neutralized by the Ananda’s blood tears produced day and night.
Jiang Li had previously taken out a few drops of the blood tattoo and used them in his hand, so he had a deep understanding of its characteristics.
He had studied this blood with Senior Sister Little Four and used the native materials of the Asura World to specifically upgrade the supplementary herbs needed in the Beast Blood Diagram.
Coupled with the Blood Fiend Divine Art that was compatible with the secret technique Beast Blood Diagram, it could ensure the safety of cultivating the Beast Blood Diagram with this terrifying blood.
Apart from these, there was also an item that was Jiang Li’s greatest reliance in overcoming the energy conflict between the two worlds.
It was a pure lotus born from two black and gold lotus seeds that were buried together.
Ever since Jiang Li obtained it, the lotus had enjoyed extremely high treatment.
The fertilizers used were at least the corpses of Nascent Soul cultivators. Many Soul Formation-level corpses were buried under the flower pot too.
Therefore, the growth of these two lotus seeds after they sprouted was abnormally delightful.
The two forces of Buddha and Demon did not conflict with each other. Instead, they grew together. First, the lotus flower bloomed, and then the lotus flower withered, leaving behind this lotus seed pod that only had a lotus seed.
Jiang Li took off the seemingly ordinary white lotus seed and consumed it. He first felt the taste of bitterness before some lingering sweetness.
When he looked at the blood of madness in the jar again, the feeling it gave him was already completely different.
He took out a drop of blood and mixed it with his spiritual qi.
The two that should have violently swelled into the blood-colored “Spirit Bomb” did not lose control this time. Instead, they gently fused together, turning into a special purple-red energy.
As expected, these two energies were like yin and yang. They countered each other and could also complement each other.
With the help of the Karma Cleansing Lotus, he finally did this.
With a thought from Jiang Li, the purple-red energy transformed into a straight light wave that shot forward. Even the air was slashed apart, and it formed a vacuum that was unable to heal for a long time.
This purple-red energy was even stronger than the previous combination!
This was the power that Jiang Li had been preparing for a long time.
A bathtub made of a Dragon Head fossil was taken out. Inside was hot medicinal liquid that had long been prepared.
After pouring the blood of madness into it, the liquid inside immediately boiled and turned scarlet.
Jiang Li removed his clothes, took a deep breath, and lay down.
It was as if he was lying in magma and soaking in a bath. Dense pain enveloped his entire body.
At this moment, Jiang Li was breaking through again. His body was absorbing everything around it at all times, and unimaginable powerful blood seeped into his body through his pores.
Even though it had already been cleansed by Ananda’s blood tears, a large amount of fiendish energy still appeared in this blood of madness and surged towards Jiang Li’s consciousness.
It wanted to dye his soul red, turning him into neither human nor demon.
Jiang Li also immediately calmed his mind and returned to his Sea of Consciousness.
The blood fiend monsters formed this time were stronger and more terrifying than usual.
It was a huge demonic god 800 feet tall with 800 left hands and 800 right hands.
The demonic god’s feet stepped on the ground, and his head had already pierced through the tribulation lightning dark clouds in the sky, causing Jiang Li to be unable to see his entire appearance.
Every step the demonic god took, Jiang Li’s mental world would tremble violently.
The ground formed from the Earth Spirit of the Five Elements Peak could not withstand such power and began to crack and shatter under the other party’s feet.
After creating the Quintet Dao Foundation, this was the first time Jiang Li’s consciousness had been injured. This made his head hurt.
However, the blood fiend monsters that were cleansed by Ananda’s blood tears looked silly. They only walked around aimlessly and did not take the initiative to attack and destroy it.
With such a level of damage, a bowl of Soul Dissolution Liquor could heal it in minutes.
[Consumed the Soul Dissolution Liquor. Added Status: Drunken Soul Dissolution.]
[Drunken Soul Dissolution: The Shameful Sin Soul Fragments will invade the corpse by 20 pieces per second. The Soul Dissolution Liquor vapor will spread. Duration: 5 minutes] (? +)
Even the sword cultivator clone could drink this Soul Dissolution Liquor as if it was water, so it was naturally not a problem for Jiang Li’s main body.
The rising Soul Dissolution Liquor vapor was completely absorbed by the Liquor Fire Sword Song, and the Shameful Sin Soul Fragments could not shake Jiang Li’s consciousness at all. It would only be refined and replenished to strengthen his soul.
After the ground that was shattered by the blood-colored demonic god was filled with the Shameful Sin Soul Fragments, it quickly mended and became even thicker, and Jiang Li’s spirit refinement cultivation rose along with it.
After dealing with the trouble, nine balls of white flames appeared behind Jiang Li. After they combined together, they transformed into a huge flaming snake that charged towards the Blood Fiend Demonic God.
Relying on the fact that the other party would not resist, the huge snake formed by the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame continuously separated, burned, and refined it.
On the other hand, Jiang Li sat cross-legged and cultivated the Blood Fiend Divine Art he obtained earlier.
The shattered and refined blood fiend monsters turned into the best nutrients and fused into his limbs and bones.
The demonic god that was 800 feet tall was shattered bit by bit, and a brand new blood tattoo appeared on Jiang Li’s back gradually.
