In the depths of the Cloud Sea on Celestial Capital Peak, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, surrounded by a faint halo of Sword Essence.
The cave abode was silent, except for the gentle sound of the Spirit Vein flowing, harmonizing with his steady breath.
He was at this moment calmly contemplating the insights gained from his failures.
Chen Sheng closed his eyes and focused, scenes of his past and present attempts to breakthrough to the Golden Core flashed through his mind.
Combining the vast insights left by successive real cultivators of the Qinghua Sect in his mind, his understanding of the path to Core Formation had reached the Mastery Realm.
"For most cultivators, the difficulty of breaking through to the Golden Core lies in two points—Harmonizing Yin and Yang, and Condensing Dragon and Tiger."
Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the yin-yang fish pattern on the cave wall, his tone carrying a few notes of understanding.
