Chapter 689: Chapter 445 True Core! True Core!

Capital, Duke Wuwei Mansion.

Inside a secret chamber, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, expelled a breath of stale air, and after two days of cultivation, he had finally stabilized his newly achieved True Core level.

His own power had surged dramatically!

If previously, at the peak of the Void Core, he was only comparable to a beginner at the Heavenly Core, now he was certainly on par with a seasoned Heavenly Core Master.

That was roughly the level of Xiao Yusheng.

Bowing his head, Chen Yuan tightly clenched his fist, feeling the powerful force within, and a smile involuntarily formed on his lips—this was the pleasure brought by strength.

Every time he had a breakthrough, Chen Yuan wanted to find a mountain peak to test his power and to verify just how strong he had become.

Nowadays, the True Pill in his Dantian had become solid, and if he immersed his spirit inside to look, he could see that the pill, almost tangible, was extraordinary.

Inside the True Pill, black and white streams of Qi slowly circulated.

With a bit of starlight contained within.

Enveloped by a Divine Lotus…

Clearly, the power from the Seven Stars in a Row had not been fully utilized; another part of power was hidden within the True Pill, as if accumulating essence for him.

Only when the day came for Chen Yuan to shatter the core and transform his divinity would this power truly burst forth.

The foundation.

Chen Yuan estimated that this was where his current foundation lay.

Only by laying a solid foundation could he continue to climb upwards.

Stepping into the True Core level also meant a significant difference from before for Chen Yuan; openly, he was now eligible to stand shoulder to shoulder with other Great Commanders.

Power is power, and realm is realm.

Among the eight Great Commanders around the Capital, except for Chen Yuan, all had at least the cultivation of True Core and above, yet he was not underestimated by anyone.

Nor did anyone foolishly trouble him.

That would almost be tantamount to seeking death.

The prior examples of Yang Hucheng and Fourth Prince Sima Ke were now placed before everyone; nowadays, Chen Yuan was someone many sought to court, not a target of envy and hostility.

Now, there was a consensus in the court that Chen Yuan’s future was boundless, evident from the four Divine Envoys who had come forward to protect him.

Furthermore, with Chen Yuan’s own cultivation and talent, it could be said that there was no one in the entire court with greater potential than him.

At the same time, Jingtai would also value such a genius and nurture him.

However, Chen Yuan himself hadn’t felt much of Jingtai’s regard, to be honest. After all, his current position and title were fought for with his own strength.

Jingtai was merely riding the momentum.

Essentially, Chen Yuan wasn’t particularly loyal to this Emperor, or else he would have exposed the plans of the Divine Palace long ago.

Though it wouldn’t be accurate to say that Chen Yuan desired chaos, he was definitely an ambitious man.

This point, Princess Pingyang had faintly realized after Chen Yuan’s trial that day, but she didn’t think deeply about it, simply attributing it to his youthful vigor and higher pursuits.

As for how high…

Well…

About three to four stories high.

As for now, he had only just started climbing the stairs.

Chen Yuan squinted, planning his next cultivation step; the first thing in front of him was to enter the Harem and find the Dragon Vein where the senior Moluo was suppressed.

Cooperate with the other Daoists of the Divine Palace to rescue Daoist Moluo.

And from his mouth, learn his true identity.

It wasn’t that Chen Yuan felt a deep connection to his physical body; rather, he was currently shrouded in mist, and his identity was somewhat strange.

He needed to know the truth as soon as possible.

So as not to become someone’s pawn and not even know when he was betrayed.

Jianghu has deep waters and dangerous currents, and one must be cautious.

He certainly did not hope that his origins would cause serious problems in the future.

Beyond that, it was cultivation.

Now that his cultivation had reached the True Core Realm, the next step in cultivation was how to break through to the Heavenly Core.

As previously mentioned, the ‘Heavenly Core’ in the Heavenly Core Condensing Realm, just like the ‘Heavenly Palace’ in the True Essence Profound Realm, is one of the most difficult barriers to break through.

It’s also a level with a vast disparity.

The powerful are like Jiang He, capable of rivaling a Yang Transformation True Master.

Even the weaker ones can dominate over Void Core and True Core martial artists.

Despite Chen Yuan now being able to match a Heavenly Core and having slain a so-called number one genius of Japan, that was only achieved by exerting full strength.

One can only realize how strong such opponents are by facing them personally.

He managed to reach this step because everything about him was top-notch; his cultivation technique was the Supreme Mysterious Scripture, though unknown in its full strength, it was definitely a top tier technique of the Taoist.

His methods were either tailor-made Saber Techniques that fit him perfectly or the Demon Dao Saber Technique Avici Dao Three Sabers, led by serendipity—not to be underestimated.

The weapon in his hand was nothing less than a Fifth Tribulation Divine Weapon.

His body had also reached the ‘Vajra Unbreakable’ state.

With all these factors combined, he possessed such strength, but across the world, how many could boast such means? Still, to kill or match an entry-level Heavenly Core like Ito Ikeda required full effort.

Aside from lacking a Secret Technique that attacks the Divine Soul and a top-tier movement technique, he was hardly lacking in anything.

Regarding this realm, Chen Yuan had never underestimated it, always maintaining caution, aiming to break through Heavenly Palace, he needed to illuminate his Divine Aperture with a clear awareness of his own essence.
