Star Transformation

Inner Core

"After all, 4 out of the 9 Little Heavenly Tribulations and 6 out of the 9 Great Heavenly Tribulations cannot compare to the latter, 9 out of the 9 Heavenly Tribulations. The terrible danger of 9 out of 9 Heavenly Tribulations, is not something that a gold core stage cultivator like me can imagine. The Tribulation stage cultivators all had enough strength to shake the world, yet under 9 of the 9 Heavenly Tribulations, were, maybe in every 10 of them no more than one person could survive. Failure means their souls will be completely destroyed and they will never be reincarnated." Fengyuzi's eyes were filled with fear.

According to the explanation by the elders in his college, 9 out of 9 Heavenly Tribulations was an absolute disaster.

"Of 10 people, only 1 can survive? Their souls were completely destroyed? "

Qin Yu was completely shocked. Now he completely understood what kind of creature the cultivator was. They were a group of people who were defying the heavens. To overcome the limitations of humans, they fought Heaven and Hell. They are not afraid of anything.

When punishment descended from the sky, cultivators could only risk their lives to survive. If they succeed, they will continue to advance on their way to the ultimate universe principle. If they failed, their souls would be completely destroyed.

After completely understanding, Qin Yu could not help himself: "Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul, Cave, Void, Tribulation and Great Success. It seems very difficult to break through one of them. To enter the Golden Core stage, one had to endure the Little Heavenly Tribulation. To enter the Cave stage, one had to endure the Great Heavenly Tribulation. When it came to the Emptiness stage, that person had to endure the 9th stage of the 9 Heavenly Tribulations. With the existence of the 3 Heavenly Tribulations blocking the 3 important points on the road to becoming a cultivator, perhaps only a few people could eventually become true immortal beings. "

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Fengyuzi looked slightly offended. He said with a cold laugh, "This is even worse than just a few of them succeeding. The cultivators who wanted to pass the 9th stage of the 9 Heavenly Tribulations to become immortals, were all extremely talented yet they still had to protect themselves with top grade Holy Weapons, after all, using Sacred Pills and so on."

"But how could ordinary people obtain top-grade Holy Weapons and a large number of Holy Pills? When I reached the Golden Core stage, my college bestowed upon me a flying sword but that sword was only a low-grade Holy Weapon. For someone like me, passing the Great Heavenly Tribulation is nothing more than a dream if without a high grade Holy Weapon. But I don't have a favorable background. In my college, I was just an insignificant student, how could I obtain a high grade Holy Weapon?"

As soon as Qin Yu heard Fengyuzi's explanation, now he completely understood. He thought to himself: "It seems like from the beginning Uncle Feng was not valued while training on the Island of Eternity."

"These Sacred Weapons and Sacred Pills, are they actually what Uncle Feng is?" Ask Qin Yu.

Fengyuzi took a deep breath to calm down then said: "Xiao Yu, there are similarities between the strength of cultivators and internal technique fighters in terms of the comparison between Holy Weapons and ordinary weapons. With a good Holy Weapon, the entire strength of its user would increase tremendously." Qin Yu completely understood this analogy.

This was the same as when he fought bandit leader Wu Tan at the age of 13. His entire strength was clearly inferior to Wu Tan, but thanks to Yuchang's sword, he was finally able to break through the profound energy that protected Wu Tan's body and kill him directly. This is the advantage of using weapons.

"Strong cultivators use a lot of weapons. Most of his weapons were flying swords but there were also some strange weapons. All are called Holy Weapons. Holy Weapons were divided into 4 classes: low class, middle class, high class and peak class. As for the Sacred Pills, they were different types of medicinal pills with different effects. When experiencing the tribulation period, the elemental energy present in your body will be absorbed very quickly, therefore it takes a Holy Pill to recharge the energy. Same with Holy Weapons, Holy Pills are also divided into 4 classes: low, medium, high, and peak." Fengyuzi explained in detail.

Qin Yu absorbed every detail of information about the cultivator's power stage, the division of stages and the effects of the Holy Weapon and the Sacred Pill while arranging them in his mind. He clearly remembered that there were 3 Heavenly Tribulations and there were 6 stages from the Golden Core stage to the Great Success stage.

"Elemental energy? Could this be the designation for the energy that was within the cultivator's body?" Ask Qin Yu.

"Yes, after entering the Golden Core stage, the inner power in a cultivator's body will change from Innate energy to elemental energy," Fengyuzi said with a smile.

Then he said with a sigh: "Xiao Yu, the world of cultivators is not as good as you think. In the cultivation world, they could kill each other for a treasure or for a good lump of ore. For example, this hunk of In-rock Flaming ore could even cause a great battle between many cultivators. A great battle between cultivators, especially the fighters who had reached the Cave or Void stage, could overturn the ocean and shake the world. Treasures, Holy Pills, Holy Weapons and so on could make all Cultivators go crazy." Fengyuzi said with a smile.

He really imagined what a great battle between these cultivators would be like. If a Gold Core stage Cultivator alone was already extremely formidable and he was completely invincible in the Qian Long continent, then how terrifying was the great battle between cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage, the Cave, the, or even the Emptiness stage, Tribulation and so on. How so?

Once a Cultivator became furious and enraged, mountains would collapse and the ground would crack, rivers and seas would shake, and thousands of humans would also die.

Even with his hands tied, a cultivator could fly his sword, soar into the 9th level of the sky and disappear in the horizon, and humans could not catch up with him.

In conclusion,

Cultivators and humans basically existed on 2 different levels. Regardless of who the cultivator wanted to kill, humans had absolutely no way of fighting him.

"Perhaps in the eyes of cultivators, the people in the entire Qian Long continent were no different from ants. These are 2 different worlds. Cultivator World is a world about pursuing the path to the endless heavens, trying to overcome the tribulation to become immortal. While humans kill each other to gain power, "Qin Yu thinks emotionally of himself.

Qin Yu truly understood what a Cultivator was. At the same time his point of view had expanded

The immortal that existed on the Qian Long continent? They were nothing more than gold core stage cultivators. They are the most common group that comes from the Island of Eternity. Within the realm of cultivators, the Golden Core was only the lowest level, yet some Gold Core stage Cultivators were already referred to as Immortal and were the highest beings in the Qian Long continent.

An idea suddenly appeared in Qin Yu's mind.

"Uncle Feng, as far as I can see, the cultivators are fighting Heaven and Hell to get past the limitations of humans. But, in order to pursue the limits of humans, is the only way that is by entering the Golden Core stage then forming the Nascent Soul as uncle said? Or maybe there is another way? "Ask Qin Yu hesitated.

Based on his thoughts, since cultivation was about pursuing human limits, there should be various ways to achieve it.

Uncle Feng thought for a moment then he shook his head and said with a smile:" Xiao Yu, forget it. I don't know who became the first time cultivator. There might have been cultivators several million years ago, or even several tens of millions to 100 million years ago. You ask if there is a different way. There are really different ways. Humans could choose to become immortal cultivators or demon cultivators, while most animals took the path referred to as monster cultivators. Immortal Cultivators and Demon Cultivators passed through different ways but they all equally formed the Golden Core then the Nascent Soul, while the animals formed the Inner Core of Xiao Yu."

"Do animals also have to form uncle's newborn soul?" The whisper of Qin Yu.

Could this be an embodiment of the fact that there are different ways yet it leads to the same universal principle?

"Ah, right." Fengyuzi suddenly said. "Xiao Yu, this has happened a long time ago, of course, I was not born at that time, yet a great incident occurred in the Qian Long continent that was the War of the Gods.. There was a mysterious man who fought in the War of the Gods not following the way of training that formed the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul..."
