16 Chapter 16- The Myriad Core

Although Xu Feng had a god's soul, he couldn't sense death bringer due to his soul's weakened state. Many years later, when he once again steps into the soul establishment realm, he will be happy that he is able to sense Death bringer, but then after spending a few years in the Immortal plane, he get's confused and worried that his companion didn't fly back to him.... Countless years later however, he figures out why this had occurred, when he stepped into the god's realm.

In front of Xu Feng, in his hands was a sparking pearl like object. It was the core of a demon who had stepped into the Core Formation realm. Then, without hesitation, Xu Feng swallowed it and started to revolve the Transcending the heavens scripture to absorb the cultivation of a beast.

Bang! Bang!

Heaven shook, and dark clouds loomed over the sky underneath Xu Feng. Fortunately, he was in a deserted mountaintop, so his increase in cultivation didn't attract unwanted attention. He was in the process of forming his core.

There are different types of core, and they posses their own advantages and weaknesses. A person's core will be dictated by their innate talent, physique, bloodline or cultivation technique. Cores will have different colours, determining the type of core and attribute the cultivator should focus on for in the future. For example a green coloured core will mean that the wood element is the strongest attribute of the cultivator, and that wood type attack and resources will better help the cultivator. However, there are exceptions, for example the 5 elemental core, this core has the attributes of all 5 elements, so the cultivator can use all 5 elements to the fullest degree. In his past life, Xu Feng had the 9 Sun revolving core, allowing him to have one of the strongest fire attribute cores in all the realms. In this life, Xu Feng was excited as to what core he will get...

Inside his daitan, the sea of Qi was slowly solidifying. The liquid energy was transforming into solid crystals. Focusing on the crystals, Xu Feng manipulated the Qi to form a core while revolving the transcending the heavens scripture...

1 day, 3 days, 1 month, 3 months, 1 year.... slowly 3 years have passed. Xu Feng had managed to form his core. Inside his daitan was a core that kept changing colours! It was sometimes red and hot, sometimes blue and icy, the colour and attribute kept changing... fire, water, earth, air, metal, time, space....

Suddenly, a flood of information entered into Xu Feng's soul. Through the Transcending the heavens scripture, Xu Feng understood that his core was now an embryonic form of the chaos spark that created the first matter. Eventually, this core will transform into heaven and earth, enabling the cultivator to have all the abilities of the various energies he steals from heaven and earth. The name of this core was the myriad core, a core so diverse and powerful that it could have any and all attributes and innate abilities of the energy Xu Feng absorbs. What did this mean? He now has the ability to imitate any technique, any physique, any special powers under heaven as long as he absorbed the energy from the opponents core.

Laughing, Xu Feng knew that his path towards the peak had now became much easier. According to his estimate, it would've taken him 50,000 years of cultivation to once again reach the false god realm, but now with this new found power, he could now reach his goal in 30,000 no even 20,000 years if he manages to find the right physiques and abilities to absorb.

Imagine the cultivation speed of a man with all the physiques and bloodlines that enhances cultivation speed? It would be heaven defying, but that's what this technique offered. Not just physiques, innate elements such as talent and luck can also be absorbed by the cultivator when their comprehension of the Transcending the heavens technique reaches a high level, obviously even with Xu Feng's monstrous soul and comprehension, it would take a long time for him to reach that stage...

Right now, Xu Feng had been inside the sect for 2 years, and currently he took a mission to get rid of some bandits in the mountain range. He had already accomplished th task and felt that he was about to break through. So he found a secluded mountain to break through to the core formation realm.

But to his surprise, what would've normally taken 1 year at most to form, had taken 3 whole years! Even the 9 Sun Yang core only took 11 months to form, but now his myriad core took 3 whole years, but given that it literally defies the heavens, Xu Feng wasn't that shocked. He then decided to enter the sect. With his peak grade 6 talent, breaking through to the core formation realm in 5 years is slightly unexpected...

In the 2 years Xu Feng joined the immortal sword sect, a lot of things have occurred. After falling for his righteous,calm and brave act, the sect leader then took him in as his disciple. He had to acknowledge this baby as his master and waste his time pretending to master some low level sword skills. Xu Feng just treated this as experience to toughen his mental state. Xu Feng had some flaws : 1.He hates waiting and prolonging an increase in strength 2.He hates wasting time in useless shit, like learning weak as F*** sword skills. He is an impatient man, that is his weakness, and he knows this, that's why he tries to calm down and not go on a killing spree in his time in this stinking sect.

During this time, he purposefully emitted a heroic aura of bravery and calmness, this along with his charming appearance and social status as being the sect leaders disciples attracted the attention of numerous beauties. If had chose to, he could've picked a few of those curvy women and fucked them like there was no tomorrow. However he didn't do this for various reasons, Xu Feng knew that if he did such a thing, he would attract further jealousy, leading to more problems from the sect brothers that protect these beauties... Just thinking about those idiots made him sigh, they were like cockroaches, even if you killed a few, there'll always be more... But that didn't matter much, he was going to kill them all before he left the mortal realm.

Also in these 2 years, the fairy like beauty Liqui Jie and him became close friends. She respected him for not looking at her with lust filled eyes, and grew curious towards him, and Xu Feng saw her as a possible ally with a lot of uses so he calmly manipulated her curiosity towards him into friendship, while constantly judging her character and analysing her words to see if she was trustable... She was a innocent maiden at hear who rarely spoke and interacted with men other than her father and grandfather, in fact it was her first time being interested in a youth with a similar age to her, so she naturally saw him as a friend, but Xu Feng saw her as a tool...

Now that he had advanced, he knew that those old fogeys at the sect would want to control him, would want him to join their side in their political game...that what Xu Feng wanted as well...If one needs to get benefits, one must take some risk. Why? Well because Xu Feng's fleshly body is at the stage where it can rival a mid Core reinforcement expert. Not many people in the younger generation can do shit to him, and the older generation will be too engrossed in getting benefits from him that they wouldn't harm him in hte short term... now all he has to do now is find a good backing and maximise his gains.

Sighing at these child like games, Xu Feng proceeded back to his sect.

During his two years at the sect, Xu Feng had read every book in the library and now had a diverse knowledge about the mortal plane. He understood about the various powers, sects and empires in this mortal plane. There are 4 sects, 3 families and 1 empire that controls the human side. While the demons are controlled by 1 family with a demonic bloodline. Every 500 years, in the mortal plane, the forces of good and evil go to war, and it's been 300 years since the last great demon wars. Xu Feng knew that unless he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage in less than 200 years, he'll be cannon fodder in such a war. He couls escape, but that'll mean a waste of resources, as there's no time better than war to find some benefits...

Thinking about various ways to rapidly improve his strength, Xu Feng fell into deep thought. He realised that what he lacked the most, is power, strength to rival a sect. Thinking along these lines, he knew what he had to do, he had to steal resources from other weaker sects to rapidly improve his strength...After all, the recources in his spatial ring were now empty.
