His nerves, which had been tense all along, finally relaxed a little.
But when he thought of that lava world, a shadow still flashed across his heart.
Although he gained substantial rewards this trip, the process was extrely perilous, and he almost t his end in the belly of a Demon Beast.
Especially the beast roar that echoed at the last mont in the lava world. Even from such a distance, it easily shook his Sea of Consciousness.
Xu Ping speculated in his heart that the source of this roar was likely a Fourth Rank Demon Beast comparable in power to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"A Fourth Rank Demon Beast!"
Xu Ping murmured softly, his eyes slightly narrowed and his expression grave.
Fortunately, he didn’t delve too deep into that lava world; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have survived.
Moreover, he vaguely suspected that the major sects of Yue Country might be aware of this lava world.
But it was too dangerous, so they hadn’t dared to explore it.
After all, in this lava world, not to ntion Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators would find little benefit and might even risk their lives.
If given the choice again, he certainly wouldn’t go.
Opportunities are tempting, but they’re always accompanied by huge, unpredictable dangers.
Henceforth, it would be better to cultivate steadily and honestly.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Xu Ping descended on Thousand Leaves Mountain.
He ignored the sycophantic greeting of the Water Lake Rat, paying it no heed at all.
After releasing the Spirit Worm from his Spiritual Beast bag, Xu Ping walked toward the cultivation chamber without looking back.
This journey was arguably the most dangerous mont he’d experienced, with both his Divine Sense and Mana nearly exhausted.
Subsequently, he had traveled non-stop for half a month and was now utterly exhausted, both physically and ntally.
Inside the cultivation chamber.
Summoning water with Mana, Xu Ping cleansed his entire body thoroughly and then sank into a deep sleep.
This sleep was profoundly gratifying for Xu Ping.
It wasn’t until five days later that he awoke, refreshed and invigorated.
Xu Ping gently opened his eyes, stretched lazily, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
"Whew!"
Instantly, the dense Spiritual Qi in the chamber, almost solidified, surged like a tide into his nostrils.
It then flowed along his ridians, swiftly integrating into his body.
At this mont, the Longevity Skill quietly operated, turning all the Spiritual Qi within him into drops of viscous liquid Mana.
Then, Xu Ping cald his mind and slowly imrsed himself in his Sea of Consciousness, focusing intently for a mont.
"Not bad, my Divine Sense has mostly recovered."
Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile unconsciously erging at the corners of his mouth.
It’s known that once Divine Sense is overexerted, recovery is notoriously slow.
Thankfully, his Sea of Consciousness was solid enough that his recovery speed was much faster than usual.
By this rate, in a few more days, his Divine Sense should fully return to its original state.
...
Xu Ping ticulously checked his Sea of Consciousness several tis, ensuring there were no abnormalities before proceeding.
He then took out the Blue Phoenix wood core from his Storage Ring.
At the mont the Blue Phoenix wood core appeared, a vast surge of pure Wood Energy spread imdiately throughout the cultivation chamber like a flood breaking its banks.
"Blue Phoenix wood core!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the corners of Xu Ping’s mouth turned upward slightly, forming a satisfied curve.
For now, the Blue Phoenix wood core wasn’t yet useful for Xu Ping.
However, after forming his Golden Core, when crafting his Lifebound Magical Treasure, this Blue Phoenix wood core would play an enormous role.
After all, he had extrely high expectations for his Lifebound Magical Treasure and naturally aid to craft it as a top-grade magical treasure.
Only in this way could he maximize his combat power.
However, even with the Blue Phoenix wood core, creating a top-grade magical treasure still required other equally top-grade spiritual materials.
Such top-grade materials are exceedingly rare and often fiercely contested by Golden Core cultivators.
With his current strength, competing with nurous Golden Core cultivators for top-tier spiritual materials is truly unnecessary.
Never mind; it’s better to consider these matters after reaching Core Formation."
After pondering for a long ti, Xu Ping shook his head in resignation.
Then, with a gentle flip of his hand, the Blue Phoenix wood core re-entered the Storage Ring.
After forming his Golden Core, his strength should see a surge, making it much easier to gather top-tier spiritual materials by then.
After putting away the Blue Phoenix wood core, Xu Ping took out the Fla Splendor Enlightennt Heart Lotus.
If the Blue Phoenix wood core was to serve its purpose post-Golden Core, then the Fla Splendor Enlightennt Heart Lotus could exert its significant effects both now and in the future.
After all, a treasure that enhanced perception was absolutely perfect for soone like Xu Ping, who possessed a proficiency board.
"A total of nine lotus seeds, aning nine chances for brief perceptive enhancent."
Xu Ping gazed at the Fla Splendor Enlightennt Heart Lotus, the nine lotus seeds gleaming like brilliant stars, and his eyes involuntarily showed signs of excitent and eagerness.
If used wisely, these Enlightennt Heart Lotus Seeds might elevate his abilities to the next level.
Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn’t wait to open his proficiency board.
His eyes quickly scanned all his skills and eventually settled on the Primordial Sword Skill.
[Primordial Sword Skill Perfection: 1291/1600]
...
At this mont, the Primordial Sword Skill needed 309 more proficiency points to break through to the state of Perfection.
At the normal pace, it would take at least a dozen or even twenty years to break through.
After all, proficiency becos harder to increase as it nears completion.
