At that moment, Zheng Yi will also seize the qi of heaven and earth, capture the fifty elements of the Great Dao, and after the forty-nine transformations of the cosmos, grasp that one thread of chance.
As long as he captures that slightest opportunity, Zheng Yi will not hesitate to stake everything he has, to leap and form the Ninth Grade Golden Core.
The Ninth Grade Golden Core is known as the Half-Step Nascent Soul Stage.
Once stepped into, one’s Dao Practice reaches perfection.
Combat power becomes unfathomable.
Legends speak of it even enabling one to escape with life intact from the hands of a Nascent Soul Stage ancestor.
This is the origin of the term Half-Step Nascent Soul.
It symbolizes the Great Dao reaching the heavens, making entry into the Nascent Soul Stage a natural progression.
Even the chance to reach the elusive Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch is much greater than that of a typical Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
In the Ninth Grade Core Formation, the First Grade is the weakest, the Ninth Grade is the strongest.
Although Zheng Yi has not yet reached the Core Formation Realm, this is because Zheng Yi’s accumulation is monstrously vast, aimed at striking the Ninth Grade Golden Core.
Otherwise, any ordinary cultivator with even one-third of his accumulation could attempt to pursue a Top-Grade Golden Core.
Possessing the Seven Marvelous Treasure Tree has allowed his strength, even before starting core formation, to not be weaker than Lower Three Grades Void Core cultivators.
Now only one last treasure is lacking to directly form the Seven Marvelous Treasure Tree.
The Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield is one of the treasures Zheng Yi has been nurturing, but to completely succeed, five rare Spirit Fires must be gathered and merged to form it.
The stronger, higher quality, and rarer the five Spirit Flames and Demonic Fires are, the more powerful and mysterious the Five-Flame Divine Dragon Shield will be once cultivated.
So choosing the spirit fires must be done with utmost caution.
Currently, what Zheng Yi needs to do is use the newly cultivated Five-Colored Five Elements Innate Qi Great Capturing Hand to capture a Spirit Fire deep underground, known as the Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame.
...
In the Sea Realm, the weather is ever-changing.
Fierce winds and storms are utterly unpredictable.
Storms and rainwater act against common sense, at any moment, the previously calm sea surface may suddenly erupt into raging winds and torrential rain.
On the island enduring the baptism of the tides, ocean waves crash against the island’s rocks, with the agitated water vapor permeating the air.
Right in the core area of Poison Dragon Island, Zheng Yi sits cross-legged, a solemn look in his eyes, showing no expression on his face.
His abundant Divine Soul Power gushes out, directly penetrating into the endless depths of the earth through the thick soil.
This Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame, over the lengthy gestation period, has evidently become full of spirituality, making it not easy to capture.
Last time, Zheng Yi discovered the existence of the Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame, but its speed was too quick, and it was hidden underground, vanishing in an instant.
This caused Zheng Yi to lose the opportunity.
To capture this Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame, Zheng Yi prepared bait this time, a fiery red Spirit Stone.
Within the seemingly translucent Spirit Stone, a burning flame is clearly visible, its changing colors exuding a compelling allure.
This is a Flame Flower, a spirit origin born in the depths of the earth, within endless magma, containing flame essence condensed from Heaven and Earth Flame Spirit Qi, an essence of fire.
All fire-element creatures are unable to resist its allure.
Consuming it would bring immense benefits.
To capture this Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame, Zheng Yi took this resource treasure from the Pirate Treasure Vault, using it as bait, placed at a depth of a hundred meters underground.
This is already the shallowest position the Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame would appear; if exceeded this height, the flame would refuse to appear, dictated by its intelligence.
Soon, the burning flame, with thin strands of pure power, began spreading through the earth, extending to greater distances.
Before long, within Zheng Yi’s perception, there was movement deep underground.
A flicker of firelight appeared abruptly, vivid red suddenly emerging in Zheng Yi’s vision, the Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame transformed into a little dragon, swaying its figure, continuously moving through the space, searching for potential danger, changing positions cautiously, inch by inch, approaching the Spirit Stone at the center.
Evidently, the Spirit Stone origin, concentrated with fire essence, held significant attraction for the Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame. Even aware of the presence of danger, it was driven by instinct and did not leave, instead incessantly lingering around.
This is a competition between hunter and prey; whether it’s the hunter Zheng Yi or the prey Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame, both showed considerable patience, matching against each other in patience, competing and consuming each other’s time.
Zheng Yi directly activated the Invisibility Rune Seed, silently causing his figure to vanish without a trace, even suppressing his Divine Soul Power, exploring with minimal output.
It’s undeniable that this Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame inherited a trace of spirituality from the Dragon Bone Remains, and over the long years, this spirituality has been greatly enhanced, appearing exceptionally cunning, giving Zheng Yi the feeling of a prickly hedgehog, challenging to deal with.
It’s truly too cunning!
Both sides are locked in a stalemate, with time slowly passing during this process.
A day, three days, five days...
Both sides were testing each other’s patience, waiting for any possible lapse from the other.
Suddenly, the Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame that had been lingering outside Zheng Yi’s control area, like cavalry suddenly charging, rushed swiftly toward the Spirit Stone.
