Chapter 370: 286: Ascending to Another World, Tread the Path into the Void_1
Compared to marriage, he still felt that the cultivation realm was more substantial.
“Can I form the Core Formation?”
Chen Mobai handed over the paper and pen he had used to write, simultaneously asking the question he wanted to ask.
The sunglasses-wearing girl reached out with her pale right hand, her slender fingers taking the paper. She lowered her head slightly, her gaze hidden behind the sunglasses was unclear. Chen Mobai suddenly had an impulse to take off her sunglasses and see her true face.
Very strange.
He considered himself a person who could control his own emotions very well, especially when cultivating with the Thought Casting Divine Technique during Qi Cultivation, he was accustomed to dissipating distractions and transforming them into divine senses.
Since the Foundation Establishment, such unusual impulses that emerged from his heart had been absent for a long time.
“In the world of cultivators, any cultivator has the opportunity to form the Core Formation.”
At this moment, the sunglasses-wearing girl answered.
After Chen Mobai heard this, he lost interest in listening to her further.
Just like those unskillful fortune tellers, they never answer the question directly, always using vague and ambiguous language.
“Very well, I’ll borrow your well-wishing words.”
But Chen Mobai was a very polite person. Even though he didn’t want to listen anymore, he still smiled and responded, then got up ready to leave.
“If you form the Core Formation, you must go through three tribulations.”
The hoarse voice of the sunglasses girl came from behind. Chen Mobai heard it but didn’t care, shaking his head nonchalantly. This is modern society, why do you fortune-tellers still stick to these old clichés?
First, they say nice things, then they exaggerate the danger.
Chen Mobai, who thought he had seen through her, felt disgusted and no longer wanted to pay attention to this unskilled fortune-telling girl. His steps did not stop, and he was about to leave the alley.
“These three tribulations correspond to Essence, Energy, and Spirit. The tribulation of the Essence means that if you want to form the Core Formation, you have to shorten your lifespan by one hundred and eighty years.”
Just as Chen Mobai was about to step forward, he heard these words and immediately turned around and walked back to the stall.
“Master, may I ask how to overcome this tribulation?”
The sunglasses girl looked at Chen Mobai, who was now even more polite than before. Her expression and tone did not fluctuate in the slightest as she continued speaking.
“The Energy tribulation is the Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation, which theoretically shouldn’t exist among cultivators in this day and age. Your ‘pill’ character manifested this tribulation, which is very strange.”
Although she admitted it was strange, her tone remained as steady as ever.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked puzzled. However, he didn’t dare interrupt the divination of the master in front of him. He simply made a mental note to look up information about the world of cultivation or ask Che Yucheng when he had time in the future.
“The tribulation of the spirit signifies your unstable foundation. The cultivation for forming the Core Formation is not solid enough. It is possible that you might lose control of the drastic increase in cultivation level after forming the Core Formation, thus failing at the last hurdle.”
After hearing about his three tribulations for Core Formation, Chen Mobai took out his phone, intending to transfer the payment by scanning the QR code.
However, after scanning the entire stall, he only saw words implying profound and divine calculation ability. He did not see any payment codes.
“Master, how should I counteract these tribulations?”
Seeing that the sunglasses girl stopped speaking after finishing describing the disasters, Chen Mobai couldn’t hold back anymore and asked again.
“The Immortal Toon Fruit from the Jumang Daoist Academy can increase one’s lifespan by four hundred and eighty years upon consumption.”
After pondering for a long time, the fortune teller finally gave a solution for overcoming the first tribulation. However, upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was instantly lost for words.
The single sixth-order Spirit Tree in the world of cultivation, namely, the “Big Tree” of the Jumang Daoist Academy.
This tree bears fruit once every eight hundred years. Even if a mortal consumes it, their lifespan will be increased instantly. It is even capable of turning dead bones into flesh, bringing the dead back to life, and thus it is referred to as the number one divine fruit of the cultivation world.
But this item is exclusive to those who have completed the Divinity Transformation, and even the three Hall Masters of the cultivation world do not have the privilege of consuming it.
Although he had seen many dramas in his childhood where the male lead died accidentally, the female lead went through all sorts of hardships to get an Immortal Toon Fruit from the elder and revived the male lead.
But that was just television. Chen Mobai even felt that even if half the people in the world of cultivation died, the two elders who had completed their Divinity Transformation would not even blink an eye.
“Master, is there a simpler method to dissolve the tribulation?”
Chen Mobai continued to ask.
The sunglasses girl, however, continued speaking as if it was a programmed response.
“The Energy Tribulation should no longer exist for cultivators. If you go to a place in the cultivation world to form the Core Formation, you can resolve it.”
“The Spirit Tribulation is due to your unstable foundation. You need to refine your internal energy or prepare corresponding “dan” medications as support, which could also have miraculous effects.”
After saying these words, the sunglasses girl folded up the paper Chen Mobai had written the character “pill” on and placed it in the sleeve of her right hand. After that, she no longer spoke, no matter what Chen Mobai said, remaining silent as if she were mute.
“Master, I have some savings and quite a few magic artefacts and spiritual objects. Can these be used as the fee for your divination?”
Chen Mobai thought it was because of his lack of sincerity, but the sunglasses girl continued to remain silent.
“Alright, master, don’t you divine three trigrams a day? If you give me two more pieces of paper, I can cover all the business for today.”
These words from Chen Mobai did catch the attention of the seemingly daydreaming sunglasses girl in front of him. She raised her head, her eyes hidden behind the sunglasses looking straight at him. Her tone fluctuated for the first time.
“Only the destined will receive divination. Although no fee is charged, it creates a causal connection with my Divine Machine Mansion. One trigram forms a shallow connection, but three trigrams form a deep connection, intertwined and connected. In the future, you might not be able to break free.”
