The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: Thanks for the Reminder

In contrast, as the power entered his body, every part of Yang Yan’s being seemed to come alive. A surging power enveloped him, and an aura of might emanated from him, almost palpable.

At this moment, the Pill Embryo within Yang Yan suddenly roared amidst the dazzling golden light, and a pure Spiritual Power burst forth, rushing through his meridians, blood, and bones...

It was as if withered wood met spring, his body fully awakened, and his aura grew increasingly stronger.

A large amount of impurities were excreted, and a refreshing fragrance spread from Yang Yan’s body.

The fragrance permeated the air, and Yang Yan’s long hair fluttered without wind, making him appear noticeably different from half a year ago.

As the Spiritual Power spread, his meridians brimmed with strength in an instant, his blood circulation accelerated dramatically, and his heartbeat made the entire space tremble.

His previously tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

A light akin to a beacon in the darkness burst from Yang Yan’s eyes at that moment.

The brilliance was blinding, enough to make any Foundation Establishment cultivator tremble in mind and experience a reversal in cultivation.

As his eyes opened, the Power of Origin in the pool surged back as if boiling.

It seemed like Yang Yan’s body became a massive black hole, devouring all the Power of Origin around him.

It continuously merged through the pores of his entire body, coalescing within his Pill Embryo.

The golden light of the Pill Embryo grew brighter, and Yang Yan’s aura became even more formidable.

His heartbeat roared, and a powerful feeling rose within his heart.

He suddenly had the sensation that he could collapse the earth around him with a mere lift of his hand.

It was a confidence derived from his body, his spirit, and his cultivation.

With Yang Yan’s breathing, the surroundings echoed with a roar, and as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged in, the golden light from the Pill Embryo within him became more intense, piercing through his body, turning him golden.

This state, between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, is known as the Pseudo Golden Core Realm.

The evident strength of Pseudo Golden Core cultivators over Foundation Establishment ones lies in the density of their Spiritual Qi.

"The Three Minor Realms Before Core Formation..." Yang Yan slowly opened his mouth, and as he spoke, a trace of undisguised excitement appeared on his face.

The Core Formation Minor Realm is the last step of the Three Minor Realms Before Core Formation.

He took a deep breath and sensed the tremendous Spiritual Power from the Pill Embryo within him, astonishingly close to ten times that of the Foundation Establishment pinnacle.

The tenfold difference was not only ten times the peak of other cultivators during Foundation Establishment but ten times the peak of Yang Yan himself!

For Yang Yan, this was an earth-shattering qualitative change.

Likewise, it is the foundation on which a Pseudo Golden Core cultivator can sweep through Foundation Establishment stages.

After hundreds of refinements to form the Foundation Embryo, this was a quantitative change, and also a qualitative leap, bringing with it a stark difference in strength!

Now, the Power of Origin in the small pool had been entirely absorbed by Yang Yan and the Exotic Beasts.

Of which Yang Yan accounted for at least ninety percent, while the Five Exotic Beasts held but a mere ten percent.

By leveraging the Power of Origin from the Snow Demon pool to ascend from mid-stage Foundation Establishment to its peak, Yang Yan transcended the late stage and the Three Minor Realms Before Core Formation, becoming a Half-Step Golden Core expert.

Originally, he could advance further to the Golden Core Realm, but he chose to suppress it, wary of an unstable foundation and forced growth limiting future prospects.

He could choose to advance whenever he wished in the future.

Yang Yan stood up from the ground, stretched languorously, and changed into a fresh set of clothes from his storage bag.

Soon after, he noticed the complex gazes of several surrounding Exotic Beasts directed at him.

Of course, it wasn’t just Yang Yan who experienced a breakthrough; the other four Exotic Beasts besides the Cold Flood Dragon all advanced to Golden Core mid-stage.

Even the Cold Flood Dragon hadn’t stagnated, further consolidating its originally high strength, evident though not dramatically so.

In the process of advancement, Yang Yan employed some of the Path of Space, hence the space opened around the Pill Embryo was much larger than ordinary.

However, what puzzled Yang Yan was that the Pill Embryos formed in the Core Formation Realm were known to be white, yet his was the exact opposite, a dark-colored Profound Pill!

This phenomenon left Yang Yan bewildered.

Nonetheless, it is said that one should accept what comes; existence is reasonable. Conceivably, this is a favorable development.

For the larger the space around the Pill Embryo, the larger the future Golden Core, offering more potential when forming the Nascent Soul.

This was entirely because Yang Yan intentionally suppressed his realm while absorbing the Power of Origin, and since he took the majority, the other Exotic Beasts merely had a taste.

As a result, the other Exotic Beasts couldn’t hide their grievances in their glances toward Yang Yan.

Feeling the stares of the Exotic Beasts, Yang Yan was somewhat unnerved, a tingling discomfort ran down his back and through his entire being.

He awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and tried to change the subject: "Alright, alright, let’s move quickly! Let’s see if there are any other treasures in this Spirit Realm."

Saying this, he strode away, not giving the Five Exotic Beasts a chance to speak.

Afterwards, the one human and five beasts thoroughly swept through the entire Spirit Realm.

Regrettably, they found nothing but desolate ground.

There being no more valuable items, they returned somewhat disappointedly to the entrance of the Spirit Realm.

As he re-examined the large gate, Yang Yan noticed something unusual again.

This gate appeared ancient and majestic, seemingly cast of bronze, covered in intricate patterns with different designs on each side.

One side depicted the sun, moon, and stars, while the other showed landscapes and vegetation.

A closer look revealed an entire world seemingly revolving inside.

Yang Yan had only gazed at it for a short while before feeling dizzy, his Divine Sense rapidly depleting, as if his Divine Soul was being drawn out.

He hurriedly averted his gaze, daring not to look any further.

This gate was by no means ordinary!

He had to think of a way to take it away...

Yang Yan stroked his chin, his mind starting to churn again.

The five surrounding Exotic Beasts observed Yang Yan, exchanging puzzled looks, not understanding his intentions.

However, the Cold Flood Dragon stepped forward and inquired, "Master, are you planning to pocket this bronze gate? It seems challenging. With such size and weight, unless we find some unique Dharma Gate, it’s impossible to store it. Unless there’s a special mechanism."

But Yang Yan, initially frowning, suddenly laughed heartily at these words, patting the large back of the Cold Flood Dragon and saying, "Thanks for the reminder."

This left the Cold Flood Dragon bewildered, frowning as it awaited Yang Yan’s answer.
