Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 388: Forming the Core Once More

Translator: Cinder Translations

---

Night fell.

Two Sacred Gu stealthily entered the nest of the Feiyun Beast King.

For the past sixteen years, the Sacred Gu had received ample supplies of Beast Essence Pills, and Song Wen would occasionally feed them meatballs.

The strength of the Sacred Gu had grown rapidly, and they had all advanced to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The Feiyun Beast King, deep in slumber, suddenly awoke.

When it saw the two Sacred Gu, which were far stronger than itself, abruptly appear before it, it felt a surge of panic.

"Chirp..."

Startled, the Feiyun Beast King emitted a piercing cry.

The cry echoed across half the island.

Countless weak beasts and ordinary birds fled in all directions.

Hundreds of Feiyun Beasts were disturbed, flapping their wings and flying towards the top of the cliff.

The Feiyun Beast King's cry suddenly stopped.

At that moment, while it was calling out, the two Sacred Gu took the opportunity to burrow into its mouth, following its throat deep into its abdomen.

Realizing that these two tiny insects were beings it could not provoke, the Feiyun Beast King did not dare to call out again, fearing to provoke the wrath of the Sacred Gu.

It crouched in its nest, trembling all over.

In its huge bird-like eyes was only fear, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

At that moment, hundreds of Feiyun Beasts had surrounded the nest of the Feiyun Beast King.

With their low intelligence, the Feiyun Beasts did not notice any enemy and saw that their leader was unharmed, so they gradually dispersed, returning to their respective nests.

One Sacred Gu crawled out from the abdomen of the Feiyun Beast King, flapping its wings as it flew towards Song Wen's cave.

After flying a few zhang, it suddenly stopped, looking back at the Feiyun Beast King.

The Feiyun Beast King trembled all over, too afraid to move in its nest.

The Sacred Gu flew a few more zhang, noticing that the Feiyun Beast King still remained crouched in its nest, not following.

It suddenly turned and rushed toward the Feiyun Beast King.

The Sacred Gu crashed into the Feiyun Beast King's hard skull.

The massive impact caused the Feiyun Beast King to feel a splitting headache and dizziness.

It realized that the Sacred Gu had not continued its attack but had instead flown out a few zhang, hovering in the air as if waiting for it to catch up.

At that moment, a sudden cramp in its abdomen made it aware that the Sacred Gu inside was gnawing at its innards.

The excruciating pain jolted the Feiyun Beast King awake from its stupor; it stood up, shook its wings, and leaped out of the nest.

It followed the guiding Sacred Gu, flying a few zhang.

The cramping pain in its abdomen immediately disappeared.

The Feiyun Beast King realized that these two powerful insects wanted it to follow them.

Not daring to resist, it trailed behind the guiding Sacred Gu toward the center of the island.

As soon as the Feiyun Beast King landed on the remnants of a crumbling wall, a powerful array of light suddenly activated, trapping it inside.

The Six Hexagram Demon-Locking Array!

Song Wen's figure appeared within the formation.

He employed the spirit beast contract technique acquired from the Beastmaster Sect, intending to forcibly sign a spirit beast contract with the Feiyun Beast King.

The Feiyun Beast King wanted to resist.

Suddenly, it felt a sharp pain in its abdomen, and Song Wen's powerful spiritual sense burst forth, instantly waking it up.

The person before it was someone it could not oppose.

If it did not sign the contract, death awaited it.

The contract with the Feiyun Beast King was smoothly completed, taking no more than a quarter of an hour.

After the contract was finalized, Song Wen could communicate simply with the Feiyun Beast King through spiritual sense.

Song Wen made only one request of the Feiyun Beast King: all prey it captured in the future must be gathered and piled at the cliff top.

Only after Song Wen devoured the souls and vital blood of the beasts could the remaining carcasses be provided for the Feiyun Beasts to eat.

Furthermore, starting today, the Feiyun Beast King could no longer stay in its nest, waiting for the other Feiyun Beasts to provide for it.

It must go out daily to capture prey.

In general, the relationship between a spirit beast and its master is one of equal reciprocity.

The master provides resources to the spirit beast, and in return, the spirit beast serves its master.

A master cannot force a spirit beast to do something it does not want to do.

However, in Song Wen's case, the Feiyun Beast King was undoubtedly on the side of being exploited and enslaved, with no equality in sight.

Despite this, the Feiyun Beast King did not dare to resist in the slightest.

It was extremely obedient, following Song Wen's every command.

As the only second-tier Feiyun Beast, the Feiyun Beast King held high prestige within its clan.

With the help of the Feiyun Beast King, Song Wen controlled the entire Feiyun Beast tribe.

From then on, every evening as the sun set, Song Wen would appear on time at the cliff top to devour the accumulated blood and souls of the sea beasts.

His cultivation speed received a tremendous boost.

However, this brought hardship to the Feiyun Beast tribe.

Having their essence blood devoured and their corpses consumed by Song Wen, they lost almost all of their blood essence, and the spiritual power contained in their bodies was reduced by more than half.

Furthermore, the taste was extremely poor, with a waxy texture.

As time went on, the population of the Feiyun Beast tribe gradually began to dwindle.

With the essence blood of the sea beasts, Song Wen's cultivation made rapid progress.

Thirteen years later.

Song Wen was diligently cultivating in his cave.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy vortex of the Corpse King Blood Refining Technique suddenly expanded by more than double.

The spiritual energy within the vortex also became thicker and more condensed.

The Corpse King Blood Refining Technique broke through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Song Wen continued to cultivate hard in his cave for another six months to stabilize his cultivation before ending his closed-door training.

Song Wen felt greatly pleased.

He was one step closer to forming the Golden Core.

When he stepped out of the cave, he found that there were fewer than a hundred Feiyun Beasts left.

This was still after nearly two years of time, during which Song Wen had been in closed-door training to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment, allowing the Feiyun Beasts to recover.

If Song Wen had delayed a few more years in breaking through to the peak of Foundation Establishment, the Feiyun Beast tribe might have faced extinction.

In the next five years, except for occasionally refining pills, Song Wen spent nearly all his time comprehending the Corpse King Rebirth Technique in preparation for forming the Golden Core.

The Corpse King Rebirth Technique was divided into two parts: the Corpse King Blood Refining Technique and the Longevity Technique.

With his understanding of the Corpse King Blood Refining Technique and the Longevity Technique, Song Wen found it particularly smooth to comprehend the Corpse King Rebirth Technique.

After five years of understanding, while he didn't fully grasp all the essentials of the Corpse King Rebirth Technique, he had comprehended it to a considerable degree.

During this period, the cultivation of the Corpse King Blood Refining Technique slowly stabilized.

One day, Song Wen entered closed-door training again, aiming to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Before this, he had already given it much thought, clarifying the entire process of forming the Golden Core.

First, he needed to convert the spiritual energy of the Corpse King Blood Refining Technique into magical power.

Next, he would operate the Corpse King Rebirth Technique, combining the magical power of the Longevity Technique and the Corpse King Blood Refining Technique into one.

Then, he would take the Golden Core Pill to condense the Golden Core.

Finally, he would face the Heart Tribulation.

With the experience from the previous Longevity Technique, converting the spiritual energy of the Corpse King Blood Refining Technique into magical power was particularly smooth, taking only four months.

Once this step was completed, the cultivation of the Corpse King Blood Refining Technique and the Longevity Technique truly reached a balance in his dantian.

Song Wen immediately began to operate the Corpse King Rebirth Technique.
