Half a year later.
The ’Transformation Ceremony’ for the Water Lake Mouse officially begins.
The splendid great hall is brightly lit, with fragrances wafting through the air.
Masters of various peaks, elders, and core disciples above the Golden Core Stage are all present. The entire hall is packed, bustling with excitent.
This is a transformation celebration specifically held for Purple Abyss True Monarch. Although not as grand as an official "Transformation Ceremony", it is still considered a significant event within the valley.
Various rare spirit foods and hundred-year-old wines are spread across dozens of enormous stone tables, exuding luxury.
Even the Earth Aspect Demon Monarch is coming to attend.
However, the death aura emanating from its body is even more intense, suggesting a lifespan of at most twenty years.
At this mont, it is casually chatting with the Water Lake Mouse, while also sharing so experiences after transformation.
"Yun Qing is in seclusion trying to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, thus could not co."
At the main seat, True Monarch Lan Ling is lavishly dressed, a magnificent blue dress highlighting her graceful figure.
"Nonetheless, he sent Elder Yan and Purple Abyss True Monarch his congratulations." She smiled charmingly, her beauty beyond words.
"It’s a minor matter."
Xu Ping waved his hand with a casual smile, his expression calm: "Yunqing Zhenren breaking through to Nascent Soul is certainly more important, and closing for cultivation is legitimate, while the celebration is secondary."
Whether the other party cos or not, he doesn’t mind.
As long as this Yunqing Zhenren is sensible enough not to provoke him further, he isn’t bothered with acknowledging them.
...
The banquet gradually concluded and dispersed by midnight. Xu Ping returned to Celestial Cyan Peak, while the Water Lake Mouse went to a Fourth Rank Lower Grade peak spiritual land.
After breaking through the Fourth Rank transformation, the spiritual energy needed by the Water Lake Mouse is terrifying.
It’s evident that Celestial Cyan Peak’s Spiritual Qi is insufficient to sustain one person and one mouse.
Thus, the Water Lake Mouse moved to a Fourth Rank spiritual land.
Xu Ping did not mind this arrangent.
After all, sotis he can go over and benefit from the abundant spiritual energy.
"The Transformation Ceremony is over, now I can cultivate with peace of mind." Xu Ping sat cross-legged on the stone bed, contemplating silently.
After the storm passes, he can plan for his Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Objects.
Thinking of this, Xu Ping opened his proficiency panel.
[Realm: Middle Stage of Golden Core: 94/100; Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill Level Six: 53/100]
...
"It’s getting close."
Xu Ping glanced at the display on the panel, and a trace of expectation and excitent flashed in his heart.
Just six points of proficiency short of the Late-Stage Golden Core, at his current cultivation speed, it’ll take at most a few years to breakthrough successfully.
Once entering the Late-Stage Golden Core, he can begin preparations for the final grand breakthrough.
...
...
Three years passed like water flowing eastward.
The ripple from the Water Lake Mouse’s Fourth Rank advancent, like a stone thrown into a pond, eventually settled into tranquility.
Beneath Celestial Cyan Peak, inside the underground cave.
Xu Ping sits silently cross-legged on an eerie blue stone bed, his eyes tightly closed, breathing evenly and deeply.
The three years of seclusion have made his aura more restrained and profound, akin to a deep water body concealing trendous power beneath its calm surface.
At this mont, an unusual ripple subtly emitted from within him.
Initially, it was just a faint Spiritual Qi ripple, akin to a stream murmuring.
Yet as ti went on, the ripple grew fiercer, ultimately uncontrollable like a flood breaking its banks.
In the next mont.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the entire cave shook wildly, as if summoned by an invisible force, surging imnsely into Xu Ping’s body.
The previously quiet cave filled with countless visible bands of light as Qi gathered, resembling shimring silver serpents, each eager to enter Xu Ping’s body.
A faint golden halo erged from the surface of Xu Ping’s body, an external manifestation of the Mana within him rapidly swelling.
The Golden Core within his Dantian emitted a gentle humming, its surface flowing with countless brilliant patterns like molten lava.
Buzz!
In an instant.
The Mana accumulated within him erupted like a volcano, breaking through the shackles of the Middle Stage of Golden Core, rushing towards a higher realm.
"Late-Stage Golden Core!"
Xu Ping abruptly opened his eyes, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Spending so many years, he finally stepped into the Late-Stage Golden Core.
Xu Ping took a deep breath, sensing the newly born power within him.
The feeling was akin to rivers flowing, vast and majestic, circulating freely through the ridians within, bringing an unprecedented sense of exhilaration and fullness.
After the aura slightly stabilized, Xu Ping eagerly opened the proficiency panel.
[Na: Xu Ping]
[Lifespan: 190/2361 years]
[Realm: Late-Stage Golden Core: 1/100; Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill Level Six: 62/100] even more delighted him
[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill Mastered (Golden Core Chapter): 1335/1600]
...
"Lifespan increased by one hundred and twenty years!"
Seeing the display on the panel, the smile on Xu Ping’s face grew even brighter, eyes shimring with barely contained excitent.
The extent of this increase is enough to astound anyone, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would undoubtedly be left agape.
Ordinary cultivators breaking through to Late-Stage Golden Core usually only increase their lifespan by thirty to forty years; yet he raised his lifespan by a full one hundred and twenty years.
Moreover, what delighted him even more.
After this breakthrough to Late-Stage Golden Core, his Divine Sense greatly enhanced, now truly reaching the level of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Apart from those prodigies in the Divinity Transformation sects, it’s likely that none can rival him in Late-Stage Golden Core.
Such an enhancent trendously boosts his combat power, as well as proficiency in Puppetry and Talisman Mastery.
Previously, his Puppetry was stuck at the peak of Third-rank Upper Grade; now with the surge in Divine Sense, it’s likely he can craft quasi Fourth Rank Puppets.
"Next, it’s ti to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation." Xu Ping’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a trace of anticipation.
