While Domain Lord Liuli was cultivating nearby, Yi Tianyun pondered over which core to condense. After a moment of contemplation, he slapped his thigh.
"Why am I even thinking about this? Don't I already have three cores?" Yi Tianyun exclaimed with delight. "I can condense the Lightning Core into a planet. It's perfect, solving two problems at once!"
He already had a Lightning Core within him, which was forced upon him during his tribulation breakthrough. If used for cultivation, it could directly form a planet without needing to absorb additional energy.
To condense a core into a planet requires not only a sufficiently large core but also balance in various aspects. A core is a core, and a planet is a planet.
It's similar to when he condensed his second planet, the Life Core. Condensing it was not a problem, but conflicts between the two became apparent once condensed.
The Lightning Core was the same in this respect. Initially, there might not be any issues, but once it formed into a planet, the true situation would be revealed.
"Let's give it a try. The Lightning Core and Water Core seem to have a complementary effect..."
The planets to be condensed must have complementary effects. If they conflict, it would cause significant problems, possibly even leading to the collapse of other planets.
After thorough consideration, Yi Tianyun decided to condense the Lightning Core into a planet.
Without further ado, he began to condense the Lightning Core within him. As he continuously infused it with energy, the Lightning Core rapidly grew and began forming into a planet.
At this point, the Water Core and Water Planet beside it released energy, supplying the Lightning Core. Under the influence of these two energy sources, the Lightning Core rapidly formed into a planet, quicker than before.
"It's working!"
Yi Tianyun was overjoyed. The supportive energy from other attributes indicated good compatibility, enhancing the breakthrough's effectiveness.
As he continued to condense it, the planet grew larger and larger. The newly formed planet was covered in dense lightning, violently lashing out in all directions. It looked extremely fierce as if it could split the neighboring planets in two at any moment.
Yi Tianyun carefully controlled it, moving the Lightning Planet away from the Wood Planet and closer to the Water Planet. He didn't want to cause any conflicts that could lead to an explosion.
Under his meticulous control, the Lightning Planet within him stabilized. The initial ferocity soon turned docile, though the surface still crackled with terrifying lightning.
Creating life on this planet seemed highly improbable, appearing more like an energy sphere than a habitable planet.
If anything could live there, it would need to be highly resistant to lightning.
"Lightning power?" At this moment, Domain Lord Liuli sensed something unusual and looked over at Yi Tianyun.
She saw Yi Tianyun's body surface covered in dense, powerful lightning.
"What's going on? Cultivating lightning power?" Domain Lord Liuli was surprised to see Yi Tianyun condensing a Lightning Planet, assuming he was merely cultivating lightning power.
A cultivator's body can contain several attribute powers, some innate and others cultivated later. Most multiple attributes are cultivated later, as few are naturally born with many attributes.
As for condensing multiple planets, the difficulty is unimaginable—practically impossible. She had never seen anyone with more than one planet.
Having more than one planet often leads to the risk of bodily collapse due to conflict.
Domain Lord Liuli frowned, disapproving of cultivating multiple attributes. Extra time would be better spent strengthening oneself rather than cultivating various attributes.
Since Yi Tianyun was already cultivating water attributes, adding lightning seemed reckless.
But she chose not to disturb him as he was in the middle of cultivation.
"When he wakes up, I must reprimand him!" Domain Lord Liuli decided.
Yi Tianyun was unaware of Domain Lord Liuli's disapproval, focusing intently on condensing the planet. However, he soon realized his energy was insufficient!
More precisely, his lightning power was insufficient! As the planet reached a certain size, it could no longer grow, even with the energy from the Water Core.
This meant he needed to absorb more lightning power or lightning cores to continue condensing.
"It seems I can't continue here. I need to absorb more energy."
Yi Tianyun thought he could succeed here but realized it was too simple.
When he woke up, only a few days remained. Domain Lord Liuli stood up and looked at him. "Are you cultivating lightning power?"
"Well... sort of," Yi Tianyun replied, surprised by her sudden question.
"Stop cultivating it. It will hinder your other progress. Trust me, abandon the lightning power." Domain Lord Liuli advised earnestly. "Cultivating too many attributes is not beneficial. Your current talent is good, but focus on one or two attributes. Too many can lead to confusion!"
"I'll consider it carefully," Yi Tianyun nodded, not rejecting her advice outright.
Domain Lord Liuli sighed. She knew he wouldn't give it up.
"Fine, do as you wish. I'm not your master, so I can't control you," Domain Lord Liuli said coldly. "We'll be leaving soon. Are you ready?"
Her tone turned cold, clearly displeased with Yi Tianyun's refusal to heed her advice. In her eyes, his cultivation approach was wrong.
As a God Monarch expert, she knew more and found his approach unacceptable.
Yi Tianyun didn't explain. He knew her advice was for his benefit, but his situation was unique. Without his method, he couldn't reach higher levels.
Their perspectives were deeply ingrained. Who would believe in a Ten Level Earth Monarch? Who would believe in condensing multiple planets?
Yi Tianyun preferred to act according to his principles, letting time prove everything.
