The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 33
Ling Han opening his Dantian could only be considered as half way to the Element Gathering Tier. He only raised the upper limit of Origin Power's internal storage - the increase in power depended on whether he could form the origin core or not.
The number of those in the ninth layer of the Body Refining Level who were trapped at this step was unknown, but it was obviously enormous.
Martial artists of the Element Gathering Tier could form a total of nine origin cores. Once they managed to form the ninth, they would be able to begin the process of breaking through to the Flowing Spring Level.
However, to Ling Han, forming an origin core was only a small matter. After all, he had already done it nine times in his last life.
He began to form a nucleus. The powerful Origin power moved, gathered, intertwined and fused. He was very familiar with this process and, very quickly, the Origin Power within his body solidified into a nucleus shape, as small as the width of a hair.
But, he immediately experienced a huge shock, because within his dantian, there actually appeared five origin cores!
How is this possible!
He had just broken through to the Element Collection Level, and now he had already reached the fifth layer of the Element Collection Level?
No, no, no ... This is an impossible thing, because these five origin cores are too small, and are still very far from reaching their peak – he has never heard that/it was there people who had once managed to form five origin cores at once and simultaneously expanded them to their peak forms.
Moreover, the gap between these five origin cores was too small. They have mutual attraction and repulsion relationships, forming a delicate balance. They also differ – colors of gold, green, white, red and black, respectively.
Ling Han's heart skipped a beat. It is a solid form of five different elemental alignments. These five cores each represent Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.
Could a Spirit Base with some partying elements be able to form some origin cores?
But how could he have never heard of such a thing in his last life?
'That's not true!'
Ling Han carefully examined them and concluded that these five different origin cores had reached a perfect balance. If one of these five nuclei were a little stronger, it would shatter that delicate balance. Thus, there would only be one origin core, the strongest one, that could "survive" in the end, while the other origin core would be pushed aside and destroyed.
Following this line of deduction, for one to be able to form two, three, four, or a maximum of five origin nuclei, the partisanship of their Spirit Base elements must achieve a perfect balance. This would allow the origin nuclei that had formed to also be perfectly balanced with each other, no one could swallow the other and vice versa.
There are many people in this world who have two elemental alignments, or even three or four. But those who have some elemental alignments and actually manage to achieve a perfectly balanced relationship between some elemental alignments in their Spirit Base are few and far between. So, it was a pitiful few that could actually have two or three origin cores.
In his last life, apart from burying himself in alchemy, Ling Han also buried himself in cultivation. He took part in very few actual battles, and so not coming into contact with a martial artist who possessed many origin cores was not a strange thing. Moreover, some origin cores could be anyone's hidden trump card to flip the table and gain victory, and who would reveal their trump card so easily?
'The five origin cores will merge together to form a large origin core, meaning that/that I will have Origin Power five times stronger than everyone else!' Ling Han thought. This is something very scary.
For a martial artist to completely exhaust the Origin Power within his body, they needed at least a hundred plus moves, or even a thousand plus moves. But should he be able to release this energy at five times the speed?
This meant that the power of each attack would increase by fivefold!
If the power of a Tier Element Gathering was indicated by a number, the first layer would be 'one', then the second layer would be 'two' and the third layer would be 'three', but the fourth layer would be 'six'. There will be a jump after every three layers, separating the entire tiers into three main stages: the beginning, middle and end, respectively.
With this kind of representation, the advantages of the origin core of the Five Elements were clearly incomparable.
'No, no, no, no, the Origin Core of the Five Elements had also reached a perfect balance as they were interdependent, so the power they could produce was definitely not just five, but six times, or even ten times stronger! If I reach the top of the first layer of the Element Collection Level, I can at least fight on equal footing with someone at the fourth layer of the Element Collection Level!
How much power will I actually have ... I need to reach the top of the first layer of the Element Collection Level to find out. '
However, to simultaneously expand and strengthen the five origin cores would definitely be much slower than expanding by just one, so the advantage of the cultivation speed of the Immortal Grade Spirit Base was thus evenly distributed. Moreover, to be able to unleash Origin Power at five times the speed would require the space within his dantian to be extremely large. Otherwise, he would only have the opportunity to make a few moves before expending all of the stored energy in his body, so how could he continue playing like this?
'It's fine if there's no advantage of a fast cultivation speed. After all, I will gain strength that will make me practically invincible among all people of the same cultivation level instead. Besides, I am an Alchemy Emperor, so I can still maintain my high-speed cultivation and advance through tiers. Even if I could only reach Heaven Tier at the age of two hundred again, it would still be the fastest record in history!
No, no, no, I already have a complete understanding and understanding of the different levels, so I definitely do not need for two hundred years to break through to Heaven Level.
The world is fair. To be able to obtain a stronger power, one would have to make sacrifices twice, or even ten times over. Besides, the space inside my dantian is still too small, so I still don't have the ability to fight for too long.
According to my understanding, only the Spirit Base that has some partisanship of elements that are also perfectly balanced can be labeled as the Spirit Base of the Eternal Grade. However, the Eternal Grade Spirit Base can also be separated into various categories, and my Five Elements Mixed Chaos Lotus is the strongest!
That is because there cannot be a Spirit Base with six elemental alignments in this world, because it is impossible to achieve a balance between the various elemental alignments.
No wonder I had such a strange feeling when I had previously read the second layer of this Heaven Element Fifth Grade Skill. I originally thought that the creator of this skill art had made some sort of mistake, but now it seems that this is because the Five Elements Mix Chaos Lotus is capable of forming the Five Elements Origin Nuclei. If it was the simultaneous circulation of the five origin cores, there was no problem with this skill art.
Thus, it seemed that the Eternal Grade Spirit Base would definitely require a special type of skill art to be able to unleash its full prowess. Otherwise, if I were to use ordinary skill arts to stimulate the Origin Core of the Five Elements ... I really don't know what will happen.
It seems that in this life, all my conditions are the best. If I still can't break the void and become a god with all that excess, then I really have to find a piece of tofu and knock myself to death with it.
Taking advantage of the fact that/it medicinal effects have not been completely exhausted, I will cultivate for a while longer. '
Ling Han guided the remnants of the medicinal effects of the Green Spiritual Fruit to expand his dantian and strengthen his origin core.
The cultivation process of Element Collection Level was to expand one's Dantian and strengthen the origin core as much as possible.
The greater the Dantian, the more Origin Power one could store and collect. Meanwhile, the larger the origin core and the faster it rotates, the stronger the power that could directly erupt from it. Thus, even if two martial artists had the same cultivation level, there would still appear a huge gap between their individual battle prowess.
Of course, the number of origin cores should also be considered now.
Ling Han was like an excavator, enlarging his dantian to allow him to store more Origin Power and stimulating the rotation of his origin core at the same time. With each rotation, the speed would increase a little more, and as the Origin Power strand wrapped around the origin core, the origin core would also become larger in size.
He had to be very careful when strengthening the origin core in his dantian, as there needed to be an absolute balance among the five origin cores. Otherwise, if there was a slight difference, this balance would collapse. The earlier the stage, the more unlikely there was to be a slight difference, as the foundation was still too weak.
Out of a thirst for power, Ling Han diligently continued cultivating with full concentration.
'What?!'
While he was vigorously "digging", he suddenly stopped, and an unimaginable expression appeared on his face.
A black tower floated within his dantian, emitting a golden light that moved slightly. It gave off a silent, ancient and dignified primitive air. There were nine levels in this tower, and from the point of view of Ling Han's mind, this black tower had a height of ten thousand meters, connecting heaven and earth.
Even though it had been ten thousand years, Ling Han could still identify this black tower with a single glance. In his words, even if this tower had been burnt to ashes, he could still identify it! Because, this black tower was the culprit who had "killed" him in his last life!
Curse, how did this tower get inside his dantian? Could it be that killing him once in his last life was not enough so chasing him into this second life, planning to kill him a second time?
You can't play a game like that!
