Buzz!
Lin Chang’sheng felt his whole body tremble. In the next instant, he found himself standing on a massive stone platform, a thousand feet in diater, in a boundless, infinite space.
The void around him seed endless, with twinkling starlight scattered all about. In the distance, roughly two hundred fist-sized white orbs hovered, each radiating strands of divine charm!
Even further away stood a hundred-foot-wide stone platform!
Atop that platform, three three-foot-square, ancient, austere chests floated in midair!
Lin Chang’sheng and 199 other peak Foundation Establishnt cultivators all drifted in this mysterious space, their gazes burning as they fixed upon the light orbs.
"Those are the Golden Core divine charms! If I can seize one of them, I’ll gain enlightennt needed for advancent to the Golden Core! Forty percent chance!"
"Seems each person gets one orb, exactly two hundred! But the three chests over there are truly the greatest treasures! Only after refining the divine charm can you approach that platform and try for the chests!"
"Hurry up and snatch a divine charm orb, refine it, and then go for those chests!"
"......"
Spotting the divine charm orbs in the Enlightennt Hall’s magical space, the two hundred elite Foundation Establishnt cultivators all moved at once to claim their own.
Lin Chang’sheng reached out and grabbed one light orb.
Right then, he saw several cultivators beside him grow greedy—after snatching their first orb, they rushed to grab a second. But when they grasped for the next, their hands closed on nothing, unable to hold it at all.
Those who tried to snatch extras, realizing they couldn’t, sat cross-legged on the spot and began refining the orb they’d gotten.
"This place is pretty clever, stops people from stealing more than one!"
Lin Chang’sheng eyed the divine charm orb in his hands and also sat down on the stone platform, arms wrapped around the orb as he silently started its refinent.
As the refination progressed, Lin Chang’sheng felt the orb transform into a surge of cold, pure energy, flooding through every inch of his body.
At the sa ti—
His consciousness grew strikingly clear, his mind refreshed. Even his divine sense, imrsed in that cooling force from the orb, beca sharper and more resilient, gradually expanding its range.
anwhile—
Insights and techniques for forming a Golden Core surfaced in his mind.
"This divine charm orb is indeed remarkable!"
Feeling the surge of Golden Core enlightennt, Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes glead. No wonder it increased one’s odds by forty percent—this insight let him rehearse the Gold Core formation within his mind. When it ca ti to actually forge his own Golden Core, it would be as familiar as breathing.
Lin Chang’sheng noticed so cultivators, after grabbing their orb, didn’t imdiately start refining. Instead, they flew towards the hundred-foot stone platform, hoping to seize the three chests perched there.
But there seed to be an invisible wall before the platform—no one could get through!
Defeated, the greedy cultivators turned back and began refining their divine charm orbs.
All two hundred cultivators pushed their limits to refine the orbs, desperate to finish first and charge for the chests.
As Lin Chang’sheng refined his orb, suddenly his body shook. A powerful aura flared from him, his mind sharpening to crystalline clarity.
"Finally broke through to the seventh layer of Foundation Establishnt?"
Lin Chang’sheng flashed a satisfied look.
At that instant, a surge of raw strength welled up inside him.
He realized his magical power was now twice what it had been at the sixth layer.
anwhile—
His status panel showed his cultivation experience:
[Foundation Establishnt Seventh Layer (1/64000)]
"Who would’ve thought that refining the Golden Core divine charm orb would shatter the seventh-layer barrier for !"
Lin Chang’sheng felt the mighty magical power pulsing within and couldn’t help but smile.
Within his mind, the enlightennt and firsthand experience of Golden Core formation had rged deeply with his consciousness.
He was certain that when he reached the peak of the ninth layer and was ready to form his Golden Core, he’d bypass countless detours.
"Finish refining this orb quickly, then grab those chests!"
Lin Chang’sheng told himself.
There were three chests up there, and he intended to claim them all.
Lin Chang’sheng knew that his divine sense was already equivalent to a Golden Core middle stage expert, far more advanced than most here. His refining speed outpaced everyone. He opened his eyes and saw the other 199 cultivators still lost in their own refinent.
In the space—
All two hundred cultivators were silently refining their orbs.
Ti passed.
Three hours later—
Lin Chang’sheng was the first to open his eyes. He scanned the room—every other cultivator was still deep in refinent, he had finished first.
"Get the prize first!"
Eyes blazing with excitent, Lin Chang’sheng stepped forward, using the Blink technique—his figure flickered and vanished. In the next mont, he appeared at the distant hundred-foot stone platform.
He saw that, after refining the orb, passing through the platform’s barrier only sent ripples—nothing stopped him!
"Blink!"
With another flash, Lin Chang’sheng used the Blink technique again, instantly arriving beside the three chests. With a wave of his hand, all three were swept into his storage bag.
"Heh heh heh, got my loot!"
"Ti to head for the Golden Core Area!"
Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes glead with satisfaction as he sped toward the gate.
From what Lin Chang’sheng knew, after refining the divine charm disc, you could leave through the light gate and reappear sowhere within a thousand miles of the Void Hall.
Of course, you could also ascend to the higher Golden Core Area!
Just then, in this Enlightennt Hall magical space, three ferocious auras erupted in a thunderous wave.
"No wonder it’s called the Enlightennt Hall—my Golden Core divine charm hasn’t even fully rged, and I’ve already broken through to the Golden Core!"
A tall youth clad in a golden robe smiled with satisfaction. His eyes swept the other cultivators, then flashed sharply at Lin Chang’sheng, who was preparing to leave. His gaze turned hostile as he flickered forward, blocking Lin Chang’sheng and shouting, chillingly, "Where do you think you’re going? Stop right there!"
The golden-robed youth, Su Mu, wasted no ti. He flung out a pale golden spirit talisman, which instantly conjured a ten-foot-wide, inky-black tripod cauldron that hamred down toward Lin Chang’sheng’s head!
An overwhelming aura of the Golden Core Stage locked onto Lin Chang’sheng!
Simultaneously—
Su Mu lashed out with a spirit sword, unleashing a hundred-foot-long dazzling sword aura!
"So, you break into the Golden Core and suddenly get cocky?"
Seeing this golden-robed cultivator, fresh to the Early Stage of Golden Core, attempt to take him on, Lin Chang’sheng’s lips curled into a cold sneer.
Judging by his look, he must be a Beimu prodigy!
This guy clearly forgot Lin Chang’sheng had just single-handedly slaughtered four peak Foundation Establishnt experts!
Swish!
Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand. Instantly, a golden corpse appeared before him, at peak Early Stage Golden Core!
The mont the golden corpse erged, it sent a fist flying toward the giant tripod overhead!
anwhile—
Lin Chang’sheng activated Blink!
Boom!
He vanished from his original spot, moving so fast only an afterimage remained. The sword from Su Mu shredded nothing but a phantom!
In the next instant—
Lin Chang’sheng used Blink, appearing behind Beimu’s Saint Heir, Su Mu. He unleashed a punch as powerful as a Golden Core middle stage cultivator!
Boom!
Lin Chang’sheng’s punch instantly punched through Su Mu’s torso!
"Ah......"
Su Mu felt agony lance through his back. Staring down, he saw Lin Chang’sheng’s bloodied fist jutting from his chest!
"No!!"
Su Mu’s eyes bulged, disbelief written all over his face!
He couldn’t believe that, after his leap to Golden Core—with his cultivation now several tis stronger—he still couldn’t match this Foundation Establishnt cultivator!
"Mu’Er!!"
Right then, a shadow shot out from Su Mu—a fifty-so-year-old elder’s spectral form. Eyes burning with killing intent, he glared at Lin Chang’sheng!
The mont the apparition appeared, its misty form surged, unleashing a terrifying aura—a Nascent Soul’s presence—filling the entire Divine Hall!
