The moment the Soul Bead entered the Dantian, it burst forth with a dazzling light.

The previously chaotic Five Elements Zhenqi surprisingly began to calm under the illumination of this light.

Immediately following, the Five Elements Zhenqi formed vortexes, converging towards the Soul Bead.

Constantly gathering, constantly solidifying...

There was even a trend of solidification.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had completely become an outsider.

He couldn't control the metamorphosis within the Dantian at all, only watching helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

The Five Elements Zhenqi in the Dantian had completely enveloped the Soul Bead, forming a sphere about the size of a billiard ball.

And this sphere continued to collapse, becoming increasingly solid...

After another ten minutes, the Five Elements Zhenqi thoroughly encased the Soul Bead, transforming into a sphere only the size of a marble.

Its hue presented a slight pale yellow.

The metamorphosis finally reached its end...

Zhou Yu's Dantian gradually returned to calm.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's eyes were full of wonder as he used his Divine Sense to stare at that small sphere.

What is this...?

Could this be the appearance of the Five Elements Unity?

But that can't be right either.

Because inside, there's still a Soul Bead.

When the old man taught him the Tai Chu Skill back then, he never mentioned the Soul Bead.

Just as Zhou Yu was puzzled, suddenly, an old voice echoed in his mind.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to gather the Five Elements Zhenqi so soon!"

Hearing this voice, Zhou Yu trembled all over.

This is the old man's voice.

"Old man, is that you?"

"Where are you?"

Zhou Yu hurriedly opened his eyes and looked around, but found no one.

Zhou Yu suddenly remembered that when he first obtained the Soul Bead, he heard the old man's voice.

Could it be that this voice is coming from within the Soul Bead?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately closed his eyes and continued to use his Divine Sense to lock onto the Dantian.

"Boy, you must be very curious now, about why your body has become like this."

"Fine, I'll explain it to you briefly."

"I believe you now understand some of the secrets of this world. Yes, the most powerful beings in this world are not Martial Artists, but Cultivators."

"However, due to some reason, Cultivators have vanished from this realm."

"Later, for people to step into the path of cultivation, there are two ways. The first is to cultivate the Qi Refining Path to the King Realm Summit. At that time, if lucky, one might form a Golden Core upon breaking through."

"And the second way is by using the Heavenly Law Dao Bead."

"The so-called Heavenly Law Dao Bead is essentially a Golden Core left behind by ancient immortals."

"However, this Golden Core was divided into three parts."

"Your current situation is caused by one-third of a Golden Core."

"In other words, inside your body now lies one-third of a Golden Core."

At this moment, Zhou Yu was dumbfounded.

"Golden Core???"

This is something only legendary Cultivators have.

There's a Golden Core formed inside my body?

Does this mean I am now a Cultivator?

Just as Zhou Yu was shocked, the old man's voice rang out again.

"Boy, stop daydreaming. If I'm not mistaken, you're likely thinking you're a Cultivator now?"

"Let me tell you, you're far from it. That's just one-third of a Golden Core, and it doesn't even belong to you."

"Unless you can fully refine it one day, only then are you truly on the path of Immortal Cultivation."

"Alright, enough chatter. Regardless, since you've made it this far, you're no ordinary Martial Artist. So, the old man will teach you your first Martial Skill."

"To be precise, it's an Immortal Technique, a Basic Immortal Technique!"

"This technique is called the object control technique!"

As the old man's voice faded, Zhou Yu instantly felt a massive flow of information surging into his Sea of Consciousness.

Soon after, an apparition appeared in Zhou Yu's mind.

This apparition continuously changed hand gestures, and with the change of gestures, the long sword in front of him soared into the sky, flying thousands of miles away under the apparition's control, utterly unpredictable...

Zhou Yu was utterly captivated.

Such a method truly deserves to be called an Immortal Technique.

Very soon, this apparition vanished.

The old man's voice also became faint and ethereal.

"Boy, hurry up and fulfill your promise, punish the last four rebels..."

After saying this, the old man's voice disappeared completely.

However, the apparition in his mind was like a mark, deeply etched into Zhou Yu's heart.

Zheng!

Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were gleaming with a golden light.

But as Zhou Yu's mind stirred, this golden light completely vanished.

Immediately, Zhou Yu stood up.

His form floated in the center of the Water Ripple Barrier, and as his body moved, a strong wave of True Qi spread instantly.

Only then did Zhou Yu realize that his Qi Refining Cultivation had reached the Peak of the Saint Realm.

Discovering this, Zhou Yu was naturally overjoyed.

He then activated the Golden Core within him, and in an instant, a terrifying surge of True Qi, or more accurately True Yuan, erupted forth.

Its power had increased by at least ten times from before.

This was simply a qualitative change.

This alone elevated his strength by several folds compared to before.

Subsequently, he casually drew the Golden Demon Blade from behind him.

He wanted to try out the Basic Immortal Technique the old man taught him, the object control technique!
