Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension Chapter 100: Nature Of The Golden Core Realm

So ti later.

Inside of his cave abode, Tian Yongheng had completely composed himself and was at his peak condition, his mind as tranquil as water as he sat on his cultivation mat in a lotus position.

He was about to attempt to step into the Golden Core Realm.

Although he knew he would most likely succeed, he still initially felt sowhat uneasy. It was only now that he ditated for a few days that his state of mind returned to its calm.

The Golden Core Realm is a pinnacle realm, as if designed specifically for prodigies. No matter how talented they are, as long as their state of mind isn’t calm and they’re too impatient, they’ll inevitably fail.

Of course there were exceptions in that too.

His father and mother were also cultivators of the Golden Core Realm. He felt a bit emotional reminiscing about the past.

The past is long gone now, and it won’t ever co back. It’s better to focus on the present and prepare for the future than be lost in the past.

With this ntality, he instantly snapped out of his illusion and focused on the situation at hand.

He looked around his cave abode, once again checking if everything was in place.

His gaze montarily landed on a red flower glowing with a dazzling, magnificent red light planted in a small pot of Spiritual Soil before he looked away.

In the past few years, he had obtained nurous rewards from the system ranging from Pills to special materials such as the red flower glowing with a celestial charm on it.

It was the Wondrous Scarlet Rose, a treasure which could not only enhance the Spirit Qi of the place it was planted in but also repell evil spirits and malicious ghosts from there with its fierce Yang Spiritual Energy.

Of course, it was not just as simple as that. This precious treasure was not avaliable in the mortal world but only a lesser version of it remained there, known as the Scarlet Rose.

That Scarlet Rose could only fend off evil energies from its surroundings, and nothing more. It could easily be discovered and plucked out by ghosts and spirits.

The Wondrous Scarlet Rose, on the other hand, would just burn any being that tried to approach it with malicious intentions, living or dead. Not to ntion the Spirit Qi increase.

He had also gotten another precious treasure, called the Soothing Heart Lily, which was also planted near the Wondrous Scarlet Rose.

As it’s na suggested, it could lead both one’s mind and heart to peace and let them achieve composure with its fragrance. No matter how agitated, nervous, or angry one was, as long as they inhaled the scent of this flower, their mind would beco extrely clear and back to its profound, primordial state.

As anyone could see, this was an extrely important item to all Immortal Cultivators, specifically during breakthroughs, as breakthrough to a higher level demanded the peak state of the cultivator, and calm state of mind. It drained a lot of ntal strength, thus, it was naturally good to have such a thing in his hands.

He also obtained a Rank-5 Dharma Artifact called the Dual Bladed Clear Jade Sword, a double edged sword which could stir up storms and tornados when mobilized with adequate Spiritual Energy.

He also got a movent technique called the Light Chasing Technique, which could enhance his speed by folds and turn him into a streak of white light, making him appear as if he was light himself.

And at last, after his most recent breakthrough to the Ninth Stage of Innate Realm, he got a bottle of Golden Core Pills.

Right now, he had not refined the Dual Bladed Clear Jade Sword and made it recognize him as it’s owner, neither did he look into the Light Chasing Technique. It was because he was simply too busy cultivating, deciding to only look into both of them after reaching the Golden Core Realm.

To be honest, he was really looking forward to what rewards he’ll receive after breaking through the Golden Core Realm this ti.

Last ti when he broke through to the Innate Realm, he had gotten quite a lot of things, including insights of the Sword Dao which allowed him to create the Heaven Earth Quintessential Sword Finger.

He wondered what kind of insights he’ll get this ti.

Shaking his head, he put aside all thoughts and started to steady his breath, entering his ditative state.

The surrounding Spirit Qi surged like a tidal wave towards him, as if being sucked in by a vacuum. The Spiritual Energy inside of his Sea of Consciousness not only increased, but also underwent a major upgrade in quantity.

Even the Sea of Consciousness started to expand as the Spiritual Energy, guided by his enlightennt and understand, ford like a whirlpool around his soul, coating it in it.

*Splash!*

Multiple sounds resounded inside of his body and deep inside of his Sea of Consciousness, as if so shackles were being broken by a surge of enlightennt, freeing his previously restrained self and fully condensing a core of Spiritual Energy around his soul.

The core, originally quite unstable and disordered, started to stabilize, emanating a faint, golden glow from it as it continued to solidify, constantly twirling around Tian Yongheng’s soul.

He sensed the connection of the heaven and earth, feeling himself as being a part of them as well. It was a natural process, as if it was always supposed to be that way.

Everything has a will...which ans that everything in the world, be it an inanimate object or a living being, all have a shred of life in them.

A sudden enlightennt surged up from deep within him, shaking his entire being. At this point, all the shackles within him were breaking apart one by one, the core surrounding his soul turning golden with each enlightennt.

Tian Yongheng completely lost the track if ti, to him, it felt as if only a few days had passed, yet at the sa ti, he also felt that countless years had passed. In this state of mind, the only thing he was focused on was the developnt of the core enveloping his soul in his Sea of Consciousness.

Suddenly, it started brimming with a brilliant light, a radiant presence in Tian Yongheng’s Sea of Consciousness.

An unknown amount of ti later.

The Golden Core had been ford and completely solidified, mysterious and profound patterns on its surface as it floated above Tian Yongheng’s Sea of Consciousness. Inside of it was his soul, like a pupae enveloped by its cocoon.

Everything was in sync with nature, as it should be.

He had achieved the Golden Core Realm.

The realm which differentiated geniuses from ordinary people.

Both his heart and mind were unexpectedly tranquil upon reaching the Golden Core Realm. He did not feel any excitent or urge to do anything.

He did not even know how many years had passed. Previously, he speculated it would take him at least 8 years to make a breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, but he still underestimated the difficulty of Immortal Cultivation.

He did not dwell on it and opened his eyes, observing his surroundings through his Divine Sense.

The world seed extrely wonderful, mysterious and anew in his eyes after reaching the Golden Core Realm. He could see and sense many things that he clearly could not before.

Despite having the strength of the Golden Core Realm, previously, he was still only at the Innate Realm and lacked the insight of the Golden Core Realm. Now, everything was clear before him.

He could hear the sound of water splashing from over 50 miles away without even extending his Divine Sense. His vision and the other senses had also improved greatly, being able to see tens of miles away without any effort and being able to touch the natural elents of the world.

He could now understand the feelings of all things, be it plants, animals who couldn’t speak human language, and living beings with no intelligence at all too. He could sense what they were feeling. At the sa ti, his understanding of the world deepened yet again.

Most importantly, the Golden Core inside of his Sea of Consciousness not only constantly refined his soul, it also contained imnse Spiritual Energy which could be used at critical monts.

The Spiritual Energy contained inside of his Golden Core was extrely pure, and being constantly refined, it could even heal a torn off limb of the body, possessing characteristics akin to a Immortal.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Golden Core Realm cultivators were already Immortals in so sense of the word.

In the past, Tian Yongheng could defeat cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core Realm despite being only at the First Stage of Innate Realm. Now that he had reached the Golden Core Realm, he wondered where his limit was?

Just at this mont, a familiar blue screen appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.]
