After they waited three days, Ling Yun finally managed to form all of his nine element cores, but they were still floating above his head.

During these three days, Ling Ling came out of the Yin-Yang Chamber several times to inform Yi Mingxia about Ling Yun’s progress, or else she would constantly worry about him.

“Sister Xi, what exactly happened to Yun’er? Why haven’t those cores entered her body yet?” Ling Ling asked in confusion.

Even Xiao Xiao and Lian Bing also kept looking at Ling Yun in confusion. Usually, if cultivators have successfully formed their qi core, it will immediately enter their bodies, but his case is different from other cultivators.

Just as Ling Xi was about to answer her, those nine qi cores suddenly started circling above Ling Yun’s head, and their movements accelerated. “Hmm? What will he do with those cores now?”

After they had been circling around above Ling Yun’s head for a while, the nine qi cores began to approach each other, and they began to merge into one.

“What!?” The four women exclaimed in shock upon seeing that, and they had never seen anything like it before.

The nine qi cores merged completely an hour later, and only one colorful qi core remained.

“Unbelievable!” Ling Xi exclaimed in shock and awe, and it was the first time in her life to see a qi core that was a combination of the nine elements. “He’s really amazing! I didn’t expect him to successfully combine all those qi cores into one!” 𝐞𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺

“Ha ha.” Ling Ling laughed heartily upon seeing that, and her heart was relieved to see that Ling Yun had finished forming his second qi core. “His qi core is really beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful qi core before!”

The other two women nodded in agreement with her, they had also never seen such a beautiful qi core before, and in their eyes, Ling Yun was truly extraordinary.

Xiao Xiao then spoke. “Not only is his cultivation speed beyond common sense, but he also has two qi cores, one of which is a colorful qi core.”

“Yes.” Lian Bing nodded repeatedly, and her eyes never left Ling Yun, who looked serious but calm.

Ling Xi then teases Xiao Xiao through sound transmission. ‘Hey, little Xiao! Are you still not willing to accept Ling Yun? He is the only man worthy of being your husband.’

Xiao Xiao was momentarily stunned by her words, but then shook her head slightly. She had to admit that Ling Yun was extraordinary, but she did not have the slightest feeling for him, and she still regarded him as her little brother and nothing more.

‘Tsk! This stupid girl!’ Ling Xi grumbled in her heart after she saw Xiao Xiao shake her head, and she looked back at Ling Yun.

Soon, the colorful qi entered his body, but Ling Yun still didn’t open his eyes. Moreover, his expression suddenly became strange, and a sinister pitch-black qi emanated from his body; even the Yin-Yang Chamber also became pitch-black.

“What else is happening now? Why is this place so dark?” Ling Ling asked frantically.

Lian Bing got goosebumps sensing the pitch-black qi radiating from Ling Yun’s body. “This pitch-black qi is really dreadful.”

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, frowned as she felt an intense pressure on her two bloodlines, which came from Ling Yun. ‘What the hell is this? I’ve never felt my bloodline suppressed like this before!’

Unlike the three, Ling Xi looked calm and observed Ling Yun thoughtfully. Before long, she took a deep breath and told them. “I didn’t expect this to happen, but he’s about to form his third core.”

“What!?” Ling Ling, Lian Bing, and Xiao Xiao turned to her, and they were utterly shocked to hear that; Ling Yun having two qi cores was already too extraordinary, but he was now about to form his third core.

Ling Xi nodded and explained it to them. “His third qi core comes from Mo Hongling’s devil qi; that’s why this pitch-black qi is so dreadful.”

The three women looked back at Ling Yun dumbfoundedly, but in their hearts, they also felt fear; they were afraid that Ling Yun would make a lot of enemies because of his third qi Core.

*Roar!*

Suddenly, a loud dragon’s roar echoed within the Yin-Yang Chamber. Not only the three women, even Ling Xi, were trembling from the dragon’s roar.

*vomit*

Since her cultivation and mental strength were still shallow, Ling Ling instantly vomited and fainted upon hearing the dragon’s roar; her yin dragon bloodline couldn’t help her to withstand the pressure.

Lian Bing’s condition is slightly better than her disciple’s. Although she didn’t faint, she also vomited from the dragon’s roar and broke out in a cold sweat, feeling the horror from the pitch-black qi. “Ugh! Ling’er.”

On the other hand, Xiao Xiao was kneeling on one knee. Even though she had the fire dragon bloodline and ice phoenix bloodline, but she felt extremely pressured by the dragon’s roar. ‘Ugh! What the hell happened to my bloodlines!’

Seeing their condition like that, Ling Xi immediately used her qi to protect the two women, making them feel a little relieved. She then pointed at the gigantic black figure behind Ling Yun. “Look at that figure!”

Lian Bing and Xiao Xiao followed the direction of her finger, and their eyes instantly widened. A giant black dragon figure was within the pitch-black qi, and the black dragon’s blood-red eyes were terrifying.

“So that’s his dragon bloodline?” Lian Bing muttered to herself.

Xiao Xiao didn’t say anything and stared at the figure, she could feel a deep fear due to the black dragon’s eyes, and her body kept shivering.

‘Now you know, don’t you? The man destined to be your husband is not random; he will become powerful in the future.’ Ling Xi said to Xiao Xiao via voice transmission, but she didn’t respond to her. “I hope he will be even more serious after this because a huge responsibility awaits him in the future.”

“What exactly is the responsibility that await him in the future? Why don’t you want to tell us?” Lian Bing asks her because Ling Xi still hides the image she got from Xiao Xiao’s memories given by her great-grandmother.

Ling Xi didn’t immediately answer her question and turned to Xiao Xiao. “What do you think? Should I tell her about your great-grandmother’s prophecy?”

Xiao Xiao thought for a while before nodding at her, but she then said to Lian Bing. “We will tell you about it, but you must not tell Ling Yun about it, at least for now.”

“Yes.” Lian Bing nodded in agreement to her.

Ling Xi then touched her forehead and shared Xiao Xiao’s memories with her. Lian Bing’s eyes widened, and her pupils shrank. Then she turned to them in shock; she felt the responsibility was too big for the current Ling Yun. “Is that true?”

“Whether that is true or not, we can only wait until the time comes, and the answer lies in Ling Yun’s hands.” Ling Xi said with a low sigh; she herself was still contemplating the prophecy.

Lian Bing fell silent and thought, soon she asked again. “What can we do to help him?”

“All we can do now is to properly guide and train Ling Yun well. As for his cultivation, the fastest path for him is still dual cultivation, and for that, he needs many strong women by his side.” Ling Xi then asked her. “Are you willing to be his woman, Little Bing?”

“Eh?” Lian Bing looked at Ling Xi as she blinked repeatedly. Even though she was already attracted to Ling Yun, their relationship was still far from that, so she couldn’t accept him as her man so quickly, and she still needed time to cultivate her feelings for him.

Xiao Xiao, who listened to them, couldn’t help but shake her head, but she also knew that Lian Bing was very suitable to be Ling Yun’s woman. ‘Sigh, I can’t imagine the number of women by his side then, but I’m sure he will have tens or hundreds of women in the future.’

After a while, Lian Bing sighed and shook her head at Ling Xi. “I can’t answer that now.”

Ling Xi nodded in understanding and didn’t force Lian Bing, and she glanced at Xiao Xiao briefly before shaking her head helplessly. She wanted them to become Ling Yun’s women, but she couldn’t force them either. ‘Should I use my pink qi? I believe they will definitely be affected by my qi, and they will definitely give themselves to him directly.’

In the end, Ling Xi gave up on her plan, especially since she knew Ling Yun’s character, and he would definitely be furious if she did that to the two of them.

Minutes later, the figure of the gigantic black dragon behind Ling Yun disappeared, and a pitch-black qi core floated above his head. Soon, it entered his body, and he opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. “Finally! I made it to the Core Realm.”
