Ten years have passed like a fleeting white horse.
The mist on Nine Cloud Peak continues to churn, only appearing denser than before.
Within the cave dwelling atop the peak, the Spiritual Qi has long beco dense enough to almost take form. The Tier Three Spirit Gathering Array operates at full capacity, continuously channeling the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth into the room, creating a visible Spiritual Energy Vortex swirling around the ditation cushion at the center of the cave dwelling.
Chen Sheng sits cross-legged on the ink-colored ditation cushion, which is carved from Tier Three Concentration Jade, densely covered with Spirit Patterns that automatically harmonize the cultivator’s Divine Soul.
He wears a plain white cultivation robe, exuding an aura of otherworldliness.
With a flick of his fingertips, two entirely white jade bottles fly out from the Storage Ring, the stoppers automatically fall off, and two smooth "Essence Storage Pills" float mid-air, their surface glinting with a subtle golden glow, emitting a refined fragrance of dicine.
These are Tier Three High Grade Elixirs he refined specifically for daily cultivation, which rapidly increase mana and enhance the cultivation realm upon refinent.
Chen Sheng opens his mouth to inhale, and the two "Essence Storage Pills" transform into two golden streaks, flying into his mouth. As the Pill touches his throat, it dissolves, instantly transforming into two massive streams of Spiritual Power, circulating through his ridians like rushing rivers.
He closes his eyes slightly, forming the "Great Circulation Refining Seal" with his hands, causing a faint Spirit Light to glow from his palms, guiding the Spiritual Power to flow in the pattern outlined in the "Profound Derivation Sword Array True Understanding."
Wherever the Spiritual Power passes, the ridians tremble slightly, emitting a subtle hum. After undergoing the Great Circulation refinent, it condenses into pure solid mana, eventually gathering within the Dantian.
For seven days and nights, the cave dwelling remains silent, save for the sound of Spiritual Power circulating and Chen Sheng’s steady breathing intertwining.
During this period, he consus three more "Essence Storage Pills," causing the mana within him to grow increasingly robust, gradually gathering at the Dantian to form a golden ocean of mana.
On the seventh morning, Chen Sheng suddenly opens his eyes, a dazzling golden light flashing through them, and his Heart Spirit instantly sinks into the Dantian.
Within the Dantian, the bowl-sized Sword Pill floats at the center of the mana ocean. The Sword Pill is entirely red-gold, with engraved Runes and Sword Patterns reflecting each other, currently emitting a brilliant light, illuminating the entire Dantian.
The mana ocean around the Sword Pill rushes in frantically. With every influx, the light of the Sword Pill grows stronger, until the last trace of mana is absorbed by the Sword Pill, which then trembles suddenly and releases an indescribable surge of power.
This is the ultimate realm achievable by a Golden Core Cultivator, unascendable and immaculate.
With the backing of this Perfect Golden Core, Chen Sheng can distinctly feel his Divine Sense’s range of coverage has increased once again, expanding to a shocking hundred and thirty-five miles, far exceeding that of ordinary Golden Core Perfection Cultivators.
"Is this the Golden Core Perfection?"
Chen Sheng slowly exhales a breath of turbid air, in which faint golden Spirit Light is visible, dispersing into the air.
He feels the changes in his Dantian and Sword Pill, filled with emotions. Initially, he thought it would take him until about four hundred years old to achieve Golden Core Perfection.
Later, with the cultivation of the "Myriad Phenona Sources Returning to Spirit Skill," he broke through his Spiritual Root to Earth Grade, greatly increasing his cultivation speed. Now at only three hundred and eleven years, he has reached Golden Core Perfection, saving nearly a hundred years.
"Three hundred and eleven years, Golden Core Perfection..."
Chen Sheng murmured to himself. A Golden Core Cultivator’s original life expectancy is around five hundred years. After taking multiple Longevity Elixirs, his lifespan has now reached around seven hundred years.
"Subtracting the three hundred and eleven years I’ve lived, I still have four hundred years left to pursue the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Thinking of this, Chen Sheng reveals a faint smile. Four hundred years is enough ti for him to delve into the Alchemy Dao and Array Dao, fully preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul.
"Conceal!"
He instinctively urges the "Void Qi Concealnt Skill," and with a thought, the mana fluctuations in his body instantly draw back. The majestic pressure characteristic of a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator retreats like a tide into the Dantian, with his aura quickly transforming.
From the heavy aura of Golden Core Perfection, it gradually weakens to be like that of a Foundation Establishnt Early-stage Cultivator, with even the Divine Soul fluctuations being encapsulated by an invisible barrier; unless examined up close, his true cultivation is indistinguishable.
"Not bad. With this secret technique, I can finally cultivate the Third Layer of the Myriad Phenona Sources Returning to Spirit Skill."
Chen Sheng nods in satisfaction. Now that the "Void Qi Concealnt Skill" has reached Minor Success, it not only conceals cultivation breath but also disguises Spiritual Root fluctuations, allowing him to cultivate the Third Layer without fear of exposure.
He doesn’t hesitate, intending to act imdiately. With a flick of his finger, three Spirit Lights fly out from the Storage Ring, landing in mid-air at the center of the cave dwelling.
On the left is the Five-Colored Crystal Stone Bottle containing Myriad Spirits Stone Milk, its milky-white liquid flowing like moonlight and emanating an intense Spiritual Qi.
In the middle is the entirely purple-black Primordial Thunder Crystal, surrounded by faint purple electrical arcs, containing the violent yet pure essence of thunder.
On the right is the pale golden Nine Elents Spirit Fruit, its surface exuding a glazing luster, with the golden Spiritual Liquid within faintly visible, emitting a fragrance so enticing that even the Divine Soul could be enchanted.
These three Tier Four Top Grade Spiritual Objects float in the air, their Spiritual Qi interlinking to form a faint three-colored light barrier within the cave dwelling, slightly suppressing the glow of the surrounding Spirit Gathering Jade.
"Let’s begin!"
Chen Sheng murmurs to himself, quickly forming Spells with his hands, causing golden Runes to light up in his palms, the core Dharma Seals of the "Myriad Phenona Sources Returning to Spirit Skill."
The space between his eyebrows suddenly flashes with a bright golden light, extending invisibly like threads towards the three Spiritual Objects, interweaving with the Spirit Light on their surfaces, generating a mystical force of attraction.
