3 years passed by in a flash.
In the past 3 years, Tian Yongheng finally sorted through all of his recent gains including refining the Dharma Artifacts and stabilizing his cultivation base.
Now, he was preparing to learn all the new techniques and spells he had obtained while also upgrading the existing ones to his current level.
Only after then would he be considered a true Golden Core Realm cultivator with great combat power.
Before going into seclusion again, he decided to check the system mails to know the current situation of the outside world. He had not left the Eternal Peak for more than 40 years, after all.
[Your good friend, Yan Zhangwei, has entered seclusion to breakthrough. His cultivation has increased greatly.]
[Your good friend, Yan Guo, was attacked by a Demon Beast.]×1,566
[Your good friend, Yan Guo, obtained the cultivation records of a cultivator from the past. His cultivation has increased greatly.]
[Your good friend, Mo Yuxin, has attained sudden enlightennt. Her cultivation soared.]
[Your eldest brother, Tian Yunchen, has entered seclusion to breakthrough. His cultivation has increased greatly.]
[Your disciple, Yan Jingfei, has entered seclusion to breakthrough. Her cultivation has increased greatly.]
[Your disciple, Lu Qingfeng, has made a na for himself in the outside world...]
Seeing all the mails and reading them one by one, Tian Yongheng was quite surprised to find out that nothing major had happened yet.
Well, except for the things at Yan Guo’s side, it was very calm.
No demonic cultivator attacks, no battles between factions, nothing at all. But he was also relieved by this. It was better for the world to remain calm and let him cultivate peacefully till he reached the top.
Closing the mails interface, he took a deep breath and started pondering over the Light Chasing Technique.
...
6 years later.
Tian Yongheng finally managed to cultivate all his skills up to his current cultivation level.
Now, the only thing left was to test them.
Thinking of this, he imdiately activated the Simulation Battle Trial, searching for a opponent. Soon, he chose Yao Lan and Chi Yuwen as his opponents.
Not one of them each, but hundreds of their clones all at once. He wanted to truly test the limits of his power.
When he could destroy tens of thousands of their clones coming at him altogether within three breaths of ti, only then would he consider himself to be invincible in the Golden Core Realm.
Entering the simulation, he went all out right from the beginning, ninety two Celestial Swords appearing out of thin air and circling around him as he shot them all out at once.
Instantly, the Celestial Swords split into two, two to four, four to eight, and eight to sixteen, becoming increasingly small as they divided further into small pieces of celestial light.
*Gelch!*
The countless pieces of the celestial swords pierced through the bodies of the clones one by one, not even giving them ti to react.
Before one could even know it, the simulation had already ended.
The entire process took less than 10 seconds!
Had Tian Yongheng been this strong when he fought Yao Lan and Chi Yuwen that day, he could’ve insta-killed them and ended the battle almost the mont it had begun.
But for the current Tian Yongheng, this was not enough.
He wanted to insta-kill all these hundreds of clones at once!
With this thought, he once again entered the simulation.
2 days passed by with Tian Yongheng being imrsed in the Simulation Battle Trial.
After hundreds of simulations, he could now kill all the clones within 5 seconds, but to him, it was still not enough.
He felt as if he still had not reached his true limit.
I possibly cannot be this weak!
He entered the simulation again.
7 days later.
After thousands of simulations, Tian Yongheng finally managed to kill off all the clones within a single breath of ti. Although he initially wanted to insta-kill them, he didn’t continue pursuing this any further.
Instead, he upgraded the difficulty of the simulation by adding thousands of clones this ti and entered.
Another week passed by in an instant.
Tian Yongheng could now kill thousands of clones in less than 7 seconds.
His combat power had grown exponentially during this period of ti. He could undoubtedly easily defeat a normal cultivator at the mid stages of Void Refinent Realm, maybe even the later stages.
It was only now he decided not to enter the Simulation Battle Trial anyti soon and focus on his cultivation.
Invincible In The Golden Core Realm...I’m still too far away from that.
Thinking of this, he sent a ssage to Yan Jingfei, calling her over. It had been more than 20 years since he entered seclusion. Not only had Yan Jingfei broken through to the Innate Realm and he needed to give her so Dharma Artifacts and such, he also needed to know the situation of Eternal Peak.
Soon, Yan Jingfei arrived at the entrance to his cave abode, which was already open. It closed as she ca in.
Seeing Tian Yongheng, she addressed him respectfully as she bowed and cupped her fists.
She had grown more refines and elegant than before, as it was only natural with increase in cultivation.
She began to recount all the things that had happened at the Eternal Peak.
First of all, because of the increase in Spirit Qi, quite a few Acquired Realm cultivators had appeared in the Eternal Peak. They were all from the third batch of disciples that were brought here from the Sword Seeking Sect by ng Xing.
They could breakthrough quickly as they were already in the Foundation Establishnt Realm upon arrival. Now, the Eternal Peak had 15 Acquired Realm cultivators.
It was estimated by Yan Jingfei that in the next 50 or so years, the total number of Acquired Realm cultivators in the Eternal Peak will beco more than a hundred since many disciples are stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishnt Realm even now.
While that’s that, there are less than 300 Acupoint Opening Stage cultivators left in the Eternal Peak right now. And the majority of them are children of the other disciples.
The amount of Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators has increased to nearly five thousand, while the rest of them are all in the mid and later stages of Qi Condensation Realm.
The Eternal Peak, even without any leading figure such as Tian Yongheng, Tian Yunchen or Yan Jingfei, could really fare well in the cultivation world as a top Acquired Realm power if all the disciples just cooperated.
5,000 Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators!
Tens of thousands of Qi Condensation Realm cultivators!
Not even Innate Realm factions may necessarily have this many cultivators, specially in the later stages of Qi Condensation Realm and Foundation Establishnt Realm!
With just Yan Jingfei leading the Eternal Peak, it was enough to topple over almost all the Acquired Realm powers.
Their annual revenue had undergone trendous changes too. Now, almost every single disciple in the Eternal Peak had a side profession. Half of them may be average, only generating a negligible profit for the Eternal Peak, but they were not causing it to be in loss.
While the other half was the main source of revenue for the Eternal Peak. They were those genius Alchemists, Artifact Masters, Talisman Masters, and Array Formation Masters.
The Eternal Peak was already considered the giant among Acquired Realm powers due to their vast supplies of all kinds of items essential for Immortal Cultivators.
Even many nearby Foundation Establishnt Realm powers had decided to beco subsidiary forces of the Eternal Peak.
The annual revenue right now was 3,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and almost a hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Now with the ergence of Acquired Realm cultivators in the Eternal Peak, it would grow inevitably by leaps and bounds in the following years. They could start to establish connections with Innate Realm factions and then dominate the industries of the Innate Realm too once Innate Realm cultivators started to appear in the Eternal Peak.
This was how business worked.
There may be so minor setbacks, but with the strength of the Eternal Peak, nothing major would happen as long as they didn’t cross their limits by overestimating their abilities.
Tian Yongheng had such thoughts. The Eternal Peak couldn’t always rely on him, Tian Yunchen or Yan Jingfei. The disciples must develop a strong force too.
He decided that aside from his position as the Peak Master, the Supres and the Personal Disciples who are of the direct lineage, the Eternal Peak must have other forces for various reasons, such as a force for protection, a force for intelligence, a force for Alchemy, a force for Artifact Refining etcetera.
aning there was a need to create Halls, Pavillions, or whatever one may call it, with powerful cultivators in charge.
Hmm...I must discuss this firsthand with eldest brother when he cos out of seclusion.
He thought silently.
At this mont, Yan Jingfei suddenly said, "Master, there’s sothing else too. It’s about a disciple called Yang Wei."
