"This child is a little bit too audacious, actually using the spiritual energy within the illusion to aid her breakthrough."
Elder Fu remarked as soon as he arrived, initially thinking his disciple would secure the top spot without much suspense, only to find out the controller of the formation was none of his disciples, causing him to furrow his brows.
Sect Leader Qing chuckled, "You can’t put it that way. The fact that she thought to use the spiritual energy within the illusion to aid her breakthrough means that there isn’t a person in the entire sect who would have thought about it."
Of course, there was one precondition for using the abundant spiritual energy within the illusion, and that was to control and investigate the formation’s eye, utilizing its entire power.
However, it was not the first or second time in recent years that the sect had opened a difficult-level illusion, so why hadn’t these people thought of this sooner
"Sect Leader, why suddenly take an interest in observing this small competition?" Elder Fu didn’t pursue further as his disciple had lost.
"Just passing the time. The rewards for this competition were funded by me," Sect Leader Qing said with a smile.
"Sect Leader, do you happen to know which peak or elder’s disciple this participant is?" Elder Fu casually inquired.
Sect Leader Qing glanced at him and replied with a smile, "Whichever disciple she may be doesn’t matter. As long as she secures the first place, I’ll be pleased."
Elder Fu smiled thoughtfully, "Receiving the true teachings from the sect Leader is her good fortune."
"Master..." Renshu Chang hesitated to speak.
"Go on," Sect Leader Qing knew his disciple’s thoughts well.
He had been wanting to visit the square where Amalia had been within the illusion.
"Thank you, Master!" Renshu Chang joyfully dashed out.
"What’s wrong with Renshu Chang?" Elder Fu was surprised to see Renshu Chang acting so unlike his usual composed self for the first time.
Sect Leader Qing shook his head with a smile, "Forget about him. Let’s continue watching."
Elder Fu knew there was nothing more to see.
Once Amalia mastered the formation’s eye, the outcome was clear.
With no disciple of his involved, he lost interest in watching further.
The only curiosity left was which peak Amalia belonged to and whose disciple she was.
Inside the illusion of the back mountain.
Arasen Xiao and Yasavur Su saw the spiritual energy descending from the sky and finally understood what Amalia was up to.
Instead of immediately dealing with the two devils in front of them, she chose to break through right in their presence.
In hundreds of years, they had never heard of a disciple acting so boldly like her.
However, condensing the golden core indeed required abundant spiritual energy.
When the dantian could no longer contain more liquid spiritual power, it underwent a transformation where the liquid spiritual power condensed into a golden core, thereby achieving the Golden Core stage.
In the past, fellow disciples mostly relied on elixirs, consuming ample amounts of them to ensure the smooth process of core condensation.
Not everyone considers breaking through in places with particularly dense spiritual energy, but even if they do think about it, finding such places is crucial.
Who would bother running off to devil battlefields or secret realms to break through and form the golden core unless they had nothing better to do?
The latter is hard to find, and the former, not yet broken through, might attract the devils due to the disturbance caused during the breakthrough, leading to uncertain outcomes.
Though they learned a tactic, neither of them had the opportunity.
Both of them were already at the Golden Core stage.
It’s very important for the golden core to transform into a nascent soul, but the environment here was unstable and it’s not the best place to transform the golden core into a nascent soul.
After a while, the swirling spiritual energy in the sky finally calmed down.
The two devils that was long thrown by Amalia into some formation and they were probably still wandering aimlessly.
The liquid spiritual power in Amalia’s dantian had disappeared, leaving behind a dazzling golden core that was suspended in the center.
The radiance of the golden core emitted a faint pressure.
He could feel that after condensing the golden core, the spiritual energy within his body underwent a qualitative leap.
Just as he was thinking this, the illusion suddenly distorted in the illusion realm, and the surroundings became increasingly surreal.
The next moment, they were transported out.
A bustling square greeted them with a cacophony of complex sounds flooding their ears.
Amalia felt a momentary blackout, but within a second or two, the scene returned to the vibrant and colorful world.
On the crowded square, many people lingered, discussing something in hushed tones.
"Who do you think will be the one to break the formation this time, Arasen Xiao or Yasavur Su?"
"Didn’t Dura Jin and Mahamu Tang say there’s still one more person inside?"
"With Arasen Xiao and Yasavur Su here, how could it possibly be that Foundation Building’s win?"
At this remark, several people around burst into laughter.
Someone shouted, "Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Su are out!"
A crowd immediately surged towards the direction where the two of them emerged, hardly noticing Amalia’s presence.
Amalia watched this scene as they squeezed in one direction.
Just as she was about to leave, someone walked over immediately.
"Senior Sister..."
The person who was approaching her was Mahamu Tang, but as he got closer, he suddenly stopped and widened his eyes involuntarily.
My heavens, not long ago, he remembered that she was only at the peak of the Foundation Building stage.
Even if she was on the verge of breaking through, it shouldn’t have been this fast—just breaking through like that.
The key point was, breaking through inside the illusion formation—what kind of situation was that?
Wasn’t the illusion formation full of dangers?
It was said that there were many devils and monsters, and the final level, according to senior brothers who had experienced it before, would have been at the peak of the Great leader-level devil.
Even if one of the senior brothers who entered was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, it would still be considered evenly matched.
