Chapter 367 “The Oddball Chaotic Core”
After the incident with the charcoal shipment robbery there were no longer anymore cases of evil alchemists running amok . For once in a long time, Dan City appears to be at peace for once .
However, only the person herself would know this calm was but an illusion, the prelude to the bigger storm hanging in the sky .
On this day, Ling Yue was delighted to receive a sudden visit from her friend He Lao San (three) of the Treasure Cave: “As per our name, we do not disappoint . Princess Yue, this here is the secret account book of the Alchemist Hall . I managed to steal it from the General’s Manor . ”
Written clearly in plain text were the various deals General Su made with some of the previous Chief Alchemists of Dan City . Through the sale of illegal drugs, the man has been earning huge profits in the background .
Shockingly enough, it wasn’t just all transactions either in this booklet . A small segment had recorded how the man murdered the last Chief Alchemist because the guy wouldn’t collude in the dirty scheme .
“What a good Su Mu (general), he really is bold . ” After reading through all the crimes, Ling Yue could no longer hold back her rage .

“In addition to this, I also noticed something odd with that Su Mu . He’s been frequently leaving the city and going off to some suspicious place that I couldn’t follow . You must be careful of that man . ” He Lao San wanted to remind the girl of this fact, especially not after what he’s seen .
“Thank you for the reminder Third Boss, I will come up with a method to deal with him in time . ” Accepting the booklet, Ling Yue now have the justification to eliminate that Su Mu .
However, before she can openly clash with that man, she still lacks one crucial thing .
It’s been more than a month since she practiced the Chaos Cultivation Technique . During this period she’s been constantly checking up on her strange vortex that had replaced her Dantian . To her delight, she discovered it’s merely the pre-stage to her core being formed, or solidifying in simple terms .
The sooner her core finishes forming, the higher her chances are during the final battle . Not going to delay this until its too late, she immediately headed out of the city to make her final breakthrough .
After more than a month of this constant training, Ling Yue was sure she’s at the threshold of making into the Dan realm . However, the strange part was that every time she tries, it would always be lacking in some way . So close yet so far, that’s the best way she can describe it .
“Today I must make my breakthrough today, I must!” Closing her eyes, she suspends her body in midair under the cover of darkness .
Continuing in her state until the first ray of sun was about to shine through, it finally came! The vortex inside her Dantian was started to spin faster and faster . In accordance with this change, the Yuan energy of the world likewise started to move .
Like a cat getting a whiff of the fish scent, the particles of life starts to frantically pour into Ling Yue’s body in all directions .
It’s forming! She’s both nervous and excited inside for what’s to come .
The nervousness was for the possibility of failure . The sun will be up soon, meaning the much needed dark Yin energy in the air will be gone and she will need to wait another day . As for the excitement factor, it’s of course over what will occur when she does make a breakthrough .
Inhaling deeply, she knew it’s now or never . Tightening her control, she pushes it to the limit and allowed the liquid essence to drip into her Dantian until it’s a raging hurricane .
Bang!
That’s it! The sound of success at the break of dawn .
It was ear piercingly loud, like hundreds of thunder bolts striking down from the sky . In that instant, her pores exploded to allow everything to gush into her body . It was a torrent, a wave, the energy of the world had no qualms about rushing into her very existence .
One hour, two hour, three hour… The sun rises and falls again, eventually bringing her meditation to a whopping three days in length .
If any other martialists were to witness this scene then they would no doubt be overwhelmed with shock .
When a person forms their core for the first time, they will have only one opportunity to absorb as much Yuan energy in the air as possible . This will determine the quality of that core and the user’s future improvements, hence the reason why she’s so adamant about using external medicine to help .
Take Hong Ming Yue (step-sister) for example . During her advancement into the Dan realm, the phenomenon was only large enough to deplete everything within a one mile radius while lasting only for one day . But for Ling Yue’s case, this effect had dried up the energy within a three mile radius while also lasting three full days, that’s three times the length!
Sadly, the only one oblivious to her own achievement was the girl herself . She didn’t know and frankly, she didn’t want to know . What she did want at this moment was to fill her stomach, it’s grumbling and she’s hungry… .
Opening her eyes at the starving sensation, the first image to come into view was a glaring sun far up in the horizon .
It appears I’ve spent quite some time here .
The nearby weeds were taller and some bird poop were on the ground that wasn’t there before, cueing her in on the duration of her meditation .
Randomly filling her belly with the fruits of her pocket dimension, the next thing she did immediately was to check up on her Dantian . She’s really curious about its state .
Bump!
It was the sound of her fruit dropping to the ground .
What the heck is this?
Without a doubt, she had formed her core . But unlike what she expected, this core of hers was divided into two colors .
Generally, the core of a martialist would first be black on the surface because of the properties of the dark Yin energy in this world . Then through refinement and growth, it will eventually grow bigger and transform into a bright golden color due to the light Yang energy needed to advance .
However, in Ling Yue’s case, what she got was an oddball of a core divided into black and gold color at the same time .
The size was the same as a cat’s eye, half black on one side and gold on the other . If she had to describe the appearance, it’s more like a Tai Chi diagram .
Can this be the Chaotic Core mentioned in the jade tablet?
As it turns out, the founder of the Chaos Sect was originally someone with a mutated variant of a core . Unable to cultivate himself into the Dan realm using normal means, the founder created his own special means out of necessity . That’s why no one in the past was able to successfully learn this Chaotic Cultivation Technique, its custom made for the founder alone .
Now, Ling Yue has officially become the first ever person to recreate this Chaotic Core in a thousand years, a feat achieved by none before other than the first founder .
“No matter, whether it’s a Chaotic Core or a regular black and light core, as long as it helps me successfully make a breakthrough then its fine . ” Raising her energy, she gives her power a test run by shooting out a finger beam .
BOOM!
Exploding into multiple smaller sparks after climbing high into the sky, the results were catastrophically devastating for the terrain . Crater after crater, her attack was like an aerial bombardment capable of wiping out huge numbers of enemies in one go .
Though unexpected, but it’s more then welcomed for her . After her breakthrough, Ling Yue had also inadvertently grasped onto the second move of the Limitless Finger Technique: Shattering the Heavens!
