The lightning snake unexpectedly stopped spitting fire from its mouth, leaving the ferocious bear stunned, as a large amount of blood burst from the snake's head. Wu Tian's flying sword was a treasure-level weapon, and with the lightning snake lacking the defense of the ferocious bear and being hit during its spell-casting to break through Wu Tian's Fire Glass Shield, it was inevitable that it would be hit. After defeating a fusion-stage monster, Wu Tian had less than ten percent of his true essence left and was injured. When he saw that the ferocious bear had not yet reacted, he quickly fled into the forest.
A roar sounded behind him, indicating that the ferocious bear had no intention of letting Wu Tian go. But after the ferocious bear entered the forest, Wu Tian was nowhere to be seen, so the bear could only vent its anger on the surrounding trees.
Wu Tian flew deep into the forest with his injuries, relieved when he felt that the ferocious bear was not pursuing him. He needed to find a place to rest and recover, as the forest was full of danger, and he could easily be in danger of death if he was not in a stable state.
After turning many corners, Wu Tian finally found a giant tree deep in the forest, and beneath it was a large pit. The rotten leaves around it convinced Wu Tian that it was not a monster's lair. He dismounted from his flying sword and used it to dig a small hole in the pit where he could hide alone. Then he arranged the surrounding dead leaves and released his Fire Glass Shield. Using one of the few formations he knew, he set up a spirit-gathering formation to help himself recover from his injuries, and took out a fairy stone to set up a formation. Strangely enough, he didn't suffer too much damage from the ferocious bear's attack, but his true essence was scattered. He attributed all of this to the effectiveness of the Water Spirit Soul.
As Wu Tian expected, the Water Spirit Soul was indeed effective, but its effectiveness went far beyond what he could currently perceive.
With two high-grade fairy stones in his hands, Wu Tian quickly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, which was rapidly collected by the spirit-gathering formation. His absorption speed was also not slow, and he soon completed one revolution of his meridians. His muscles and veins quickly recovered, and the nebula in his dantian began to turn steadily. The white egg-sized light spot in the middle suddenly absorbed the true essence, making Wu Tian feel like he couldn't keep up with the absorption speed. Fortunately, the huge energy from the two high-grade fairy stones supported him, allowing him to keep up with the absorption speed of the egg-shaped light spot.
Gradually, Wu Tian noticed that the egg-shaped light spot was getting smaller and purer, and required more true essence. Fortunately, the spirit-gathering formation had already absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy for him to convert into true essence. High-grade fairy stones were rare in the cultivation world, and even small sects didn't have many of them. Therefore, the spiritual energy they contained was quite substantial, and Wu Tian had only absorbed one-fifth of each stone so far.
With the help of the array and the immortal stones above it, the light spot in the dantian that was once the size of an egg, now, oh no, it's almost the size of a soybean. It spins rapidly, and the surrounding nebula spins even faster. If it weren't for the soybean-sized light spot inside his body, Wu Tian wouldn't have been able to see that he was rotating. It can be imagined how fast the rotation speed is, approaching stillness.
Suddenly, the soybean-sized light spot slowed down and gradually stopped. Wu Tian was wondering what was happening when suddenly the light spot violently absorbed the true yuan in his body, catching him off guard. Fortunately, his true yuan had recovered and the amount of true yuan in a liquid state was still considerable. Wu Tian's absorption speed of spiritual particles from the outside world suddenly increased, and the surrounding spiritual energy was quickly sucked into his body. The top-grade immortal stones were directly absorbed by almost five thirds, which shows how fast and how much the soybean-sized light spot was absorbing.

However, after a sudden burst of suction, the soybean-sized light spot stopped absorbing. Gradually, the soybean-sized light spot suddenly reversed its rotation and radiated a huge amount of true yuan. Wu Tian was absorbing while the light spot was emitting, and he was instantly swollen like a balloon. His meridians even hurt from the expansion. Wu Tian gritted his teeth and gave up absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. He controlled the true yuan in his body to rush through his meridians, and the swollen meridians expanded rapidly. Wu Tian was sweating all over and in pain, but he knew that this was a critical moment and that he would succeed if he persevered. Giving up was clearly not an option as he would explode.
His mind quickly controlled the true yuan that had not yet returned to the dantian, setting up barriers in front of the huge amount of true yuan to slow down the impact. The effect at the beginning was brutal, but gradually the speed of the true yuan slowed down. It seemed that what he was doing was not useless, which made him more confident in setting up barriers with the remaining true yuan. Directly blocking it was impossible because firstly, his mind-controlled true yuan was not that much, and secondly, the two true yuans in his body were fighting, and if they damaged the meridians, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Ten rotations later, the speed of the violent true yuan had become quite slow. Wu Tian had collected a lot of scattered violent true yuan, gradually strengthened it, and eventually competed with the violent true yuan. However, Wu Tian did not directly resist the true yuan because he knew that this was tempering his meridians. Although it was painful, it was no longer as dangerous as before. Now was a good time to consolidate his meridians.
Wu Tian controlled the true yuan to closely follow the violent true yuan. After the violent true yuan washed through his meridians, Wu Tian quickly used his mind-controlled true yuan to nourish his meridians back and forth like this.
After an unknown period of time, the wildly raging true energy was no longer as massive as it was initially, and the true energy controlled by Wu Tian's mind had slowly absorbed most of it. Therefore, after completing one cycle, that true energy returned to the Dantian and immediately became much gentler. This gave Wu Tian a feeling of confusion - could it be that the surge of momentum just now was not caused by him? He thought about it but then immediately controlled his true energy to come into contact with that surge of true energy. As soon as they came into contact, there was a call from his mind, and his mind immediately controlled them. When his mind touched them, he could sense their joy.
Controlling such a massive true energy, Wu Tian knew that he had finally reached the golden core stage. This was incomparable to the fusion stage, and it was not the gradually liquefying true energy either. It was the true essence itself, quietly flowing in the meridians that had expanded several times after being washed away by the raging true energy. His mind also noticed that the toughness of his meridians had increased several times. Even if he didn't manage to defeat the Scarlet Blood Bear in one hit this time, he wouldn't feel so panicked and powerless.
After observing his Dantian for a while, the yellow light spot was now spinning calmly along with the nebula. Wu Tian finally managed to reach the golden core stage without the help of his master. He couldn't help but think that he was pretty amazing. Looking at the shattered top-grade immortal stones in his hand, he knew that the spiritual energy had been sucked dry, so he removed the gathering formation, retracted the fire glass hood, and decided to go trouble the Scarlet Blood Bear.
He also wanted to see how powerful he was after reaching the golden core stage. "Scarlet Blood Bear, baby, here I come..."
