Chapter 74 A Level 6 Core Formation Cultivator 

Yuan Dao, a level 5 Core Formation Cultivator, cultivated metal-type techniques, and naturally, his core was a metal core condensed from metal core essence. Despite having refined it into a white flame wisp, Shangguan Yi still felt the abundant metal core essence within it.

"It has such a rich metal core essence. If I had fought against him earlier, the effort and time needed must have been higher. He might even have blocked my attack given how dense his core essence was," Shangguan Yi analyzed, and what he discovered opened a new door for him.

Soon, Shangguan Yi took a deep breath and focused his concentration on the white flame wisp. The white flame entered the Sixth Sense Realm. Inside, the white flame wisp was like a lone star in a massive galaxy, the only light in the darkness of the Sixth Sense Realm. Activating his cultivation technique, Everlasting Firmament Flame, the white flame wisp, which had been floating motionlessly, began to move. It started circling around and repeated the process. As time passed, it circled faster and faster, and the dense metal core essence within it also decreased.

"Two hours. The core essence of a level 5 Core Formation Cultivator is indeed hard to refine. Just a single one took two hours to finish," Shangguan Yi finally completed refining the white flame wisp that was originally Yuan Dao's core essence.

"Let me check how much I can progress from the core of a level 5 Core Formation Cultivator," Shangguan Yi focused his thoughts into the system, the cultivation function there. Previously, he had just stepped into the level 5 Core Formation Realm, so his progression was set to zero.

After finishing refining the flame wisp of a level 5 Core Formation Cultivator, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but become curious. Since his cultivation progression was set to zero, it was a good chance to measure the effect of the white flame wisp from a level 5 Core Formation Cultivator.

Naturally, as his cultivation level increased, the effect of the core essence from lower-level cultivators would diminish. For instance, the core essence from the false Core Formation Cultivators was barely useful to him now. As a level 5 Core Formation Cultivator, Shangguan Yi could tell that ten core essences from false Core Formation Cultivators might barely increase his cultivation by 1% or less.

"25%! What an amount!" After discovering his cultivation progression, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but be excited. Despite being a level 5 Core Formation Cultivator, he had still made significant progress. This boosted his confidence.

"There are still three of them, which means I will have a breakthrough to another level soon," Shangguan Yi suppressed his excitement before taking out another white flame wisp.

This white flame wisp released a strong aura of water core essence, like facing the pressure from deep water. It was the white flame wisp refined from the core essence of Song Yuan, the ancestor of the Song Family, who cultivated water-type techniques.

The strong aura of the water core essence couldn't deter Shangguan Yi's desire to refine it. Without hesitation, he sent it into his Sixth Sense Realm and began the process.

With his previous experience in refining the white flame wisp, this time Shangguan Yi's progression was faster by ten minutes. In less than two hours, he finished refining the second white flame wisp.

"50%! This feeling is incredible." Shangguan Yi felt joy from cultivation for the first time, realizing it wasn't as tedious as he once faced.

The progress to 50% didn't stop him there. After celebrating for a while, he continued to absorb the third white flame wisp.

The strong flame core essence spread around the area, but Shangguan Yi felt the least threat from it. As he also cultivated flame-type techniques and had condensed a flame core, his flame core was even on another level compared to others. Therefore, the threat from the flame core of Tang Long, the Tang Family Ancestor, was minimal.

"It's the core essence of a flame core. This is not bad. The time and effort needed will be half compared to other types of cores," Shangguan Yi commented when he touched the third white flame wisp.

Just like the previous two white flame wisps, Shangguan Yi threw it into his Sixth Sense Realm and started refining it. Despite being the easiest one to refine, Shangguan Yi remained focused and diligent.

Soon, an hour later, the process finished as expected.

"75%!" Shangguan Yi exclaimed slightly.

"However, this is too early to celebrate. I need to absorb the last one and break through to the level 6 Core Formation Realm," Shangguan Yi warned himself.

Right then, he took out the fourth white flame wisp, which was the last one. It released a strong gold core essence, spreading and suppressing him.

"The gold core! So this person developed his path." Shangguan Yi was quite surprised by the discovery.

The gold path was a unique path developed from the metal path, a special path not everyone could cultivate. Only the talented ones with good physiques and conditions could cultivate it.

In Red Maple City, despite having many Core Formation Cultivators, only a few could cultivate gold-type techniques. Fu Lan was among them. In fact, there might be fewer than three characters like Fu Lan in Red Maple City. Even the current City Lord, Fu Bo, didn't cultivate gold-type techniques.

The aura of the gold core was unique and special. Shangguan Yi realized that if he directly confronted Fu Lan, he might not have a good outcome in the fight. In fact, he might face significant difficulties.

"Indeed, I might face trouble fighting a living Core Formation Cultivator who has condensed a gold core. But now it's just the remains of his core essence. What can it do to me?!" Ignoring the suppression from the white flame wisp, Shangguan Yi threw it into his Sixth Sense Realm and started absorbing it right away.

Different from the previous three white flame wisps, this time Shangguan Yi spent more than two hours refining it, as he needed to focus fully and the effort to maintain this state wasn't low either.

"But it was worth it!" Shangguan Yi exclaimed as he felt the sudden increase of his core essence. He could feel the rich core essence gathering in one place and starting to form a core.

This is the process of forming the core. Once it was finished, Shangguan Yi's cultivation would increase by another level. However, before that, he needed to concentrate and focus his attention on forming the core.

With his experience of forming cores from level 1 to level 5, forming the sixth one was not a big deal to him. Shangguan Yi remained calm and cool as he controlled the core essence to form the flame core.

The process didn't take long; in just two hours, the sixth core was completely formed.

The aura of a level 6 Core Formation Cultivator spread throughout the Meditation Garden, causing the environment inside to change into a chaotic scene for a while before returning to normal. If anyone familiar with the Meditation Garden saw it, they wouldn't recognize it as it was completely changed from before. The beautiful scenery had transformed into chaos. Shangguan Yi had no time to bother with it; he let it be natural as it was supposed to be.

The commotion in the Meditation Garden didn't reach outside as it was blocked by the array he had set up. From this, one could see that even a level 6 Core Formation Cultivator was no match for the array protecting the Meditation Garden.

After all, this was a supreme-grade level 3 array. How could a level 6 Core Formation Cultivator deal with it? This array was at the peak of Core Formation Cultivators' capabilities, even a level 10 Core Formation Cultivator would need to pay a high price to destroy it. This was the confidence of Shangguan Yi; it was not a wild guess, but a fact stated in the array's information.

"The feeling of being at the level 6 Core Formation Realm is too wonderful. I feel significantly stronger than before. Given my current strength, I'm confident I can deal with four level 5 Core Formation Cultivators without needing the help of the illusion array," Shangguan Yi assessed his condition.

Shangguan Yi stood up, feeling the surge of power coursing through his veins. The strength of a level 6 Core Formation Cultivator was exhilarating. He clenched his fists, sensing the immense energy ready to be unleashed at his command. This newfound power solidified his position within Red Maple City, making him an even more formidable force to be reckoned with.

Reflecting on the journey that had brought him here, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. The cultivation process had been arduous, filled with battles and challenges, but it had also been incredibly rewarding. Now, with his enhanced abilities, he was eager to take on new journeys and push his limits even further. The looming threat of the powerful families and sects in Red Maple City didn't daunt him; it excited him.

However, Shangguan Yi knew better than to be complacent. He needed to make more preparations to dominate the Red Maple City. His thoughts turned to the upcoming plans and strategies he needed to implement. There were still many enemies to subdue.
