Fortunately, after seven or eight days of walking, Wang Mu had clearly adapted much more to the journey. Although his body was still uncomfortable, the explosive increase in his proficiency induced an almost addictive sensation.
Mainly, opportunities for such cultivation were rare. Not everyone had the privilege of cultivating by moving several large mountains. This was no ordinary spell...
The Six Jia Moving Mountain Technique was a renowned Taoist Stage Technique. Relocating a thousand-zhang-tall mountain was impossible without Golden Core Realm cultivation. Not to ntion sustaining such use over a long period.
Perseverance is victory.
Especially under this intense pressure, Wang Mu felt his Spiritual Power showing signs of fusion. The intense pressure on his body caused his Spiritual Acupoints to swirl like whirlpools. With the Superior Pure Spirit Body, his body's absorption of Spiritual Energy greatly increased. The Spiritual Power within him seed to have reached its limit. Only by condensing it could it be further compressed.
Advancing from Foundation Establishnt to Golden Core was a huge hurdle in itself. For those without a Spirit Root, it was an even greater hurdle. Without a Spirit Root, one could not pursue cultivation.
Wang Mu was unique among cultivators. He had entered the Dao through his physique, using the Hundred Refinent Body Technique to condense ten Spiritual Acupoints within himself. These acupoints absorbed Circulation Spirit Qi like a cosmic furnace. However, condensing a Golden Core ant venturing into a domain untrodden by predecessors.
Without guidance, Wang Mu was unsure how to condense his Golden Core. This was especially true for the Spirit Liquid in his ten Spiritual Acupoints. It contained a quantity of Spiritual Power far exceeding that of an ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivator. How to condense all this power was a significant problem. Dealing with the Mixed Elent Energy, the Primordial Mystic Heavy Water Essence, the True Yang Star Fla, and other such wondrous forces within him also posed imnse challenges. rely integrating these wondrous forces was a complex journey with no clear path forward. The slightest misstep could lead him astray, potentially resulting in unknown disasters.
Even cultivators of outstanding talent typically took several years to advance from Foundation Establishnt to Golden Core. Sotis, they needed their Master or senior martial brothers to act as protectors, safeguarding the process to prevent the Golden Core condensation from failing. This was to say nothing of the even more complex cultivation path Wang Mu pursued. But at this mont, Wang Mu experienced a faint sense of enlightennt...
He continued onward, carrying Mu Hongyuan on his back. A month and a half later, Wang Mu felt profound relief as an enormous strength surged through his body. Wang Mu knew he had reached the peak of the Seventh Layer of the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, just a step away from the Eighth Layer. The pressure of Mu Hongyuan's three mountains greatly diminished.
At the sa ti, they had entered the boundaries of the Tianlin Continent, not far from the location ntioned by Mu Hongyuan.
After nearly two months of arduous cultivation, Wang Mu had gained so insight into the Golden Core Realm.
Along the way, Mu Hongyuan spent most of her ti sleeping soundly. It was best when she didn't wake up. Whenever she awoke, she would mock him relentlessly. And then nonchalantly, she would add another mountain to Wang Mu's load. By now, Wang Mu was carrying nearly ten large mountains, and Mu Hongyuan showed no intention of removing them.
In a few more days, we'll reach the Heavenly Spirit Spring, Wang Mu thought to himself.
In the Tianlin Continent, Demon Cultivators were indeed nurous. Ever since entering the continent, they encountered incidents of murder and pillaging almost daily. Within cities, it seed everyone still adhered to the rules. Outside the cities, however, if soone took a dislike to you, they would attack directly without wasting words.
Moreover, this place was a stronghold of Demon Cultivators. These so-called Demon Cultivators were, more precisely, Devil Cultivators. Officially, they were considered mbers of the Spirit Clan who had fallen to the Demon Path. These Spirit Clan mbers often cultivated certain Forbidden Techniques. Such practices, deed harmful to heavenly harmony, led to their expulsion from the Spirit Clan's records. Consequently, they fled to the Tianlin Continent, where like-minded villains gathered.
As Tianlin Continent was relatively remote, most Righteous Cultivators did not venture here. Although Demon Cultivators were rampant, this land had its own particular rules. Generally, as long as one abided by these rules, major trouble could be avoided. Failing that, strength was the supre principle.
Wang Mu had a clear objective and headed straight for the Heavenly Spirit Spring. This spring was located on Tianluo Mountain, which sat above the great caverns of the Tianlin Continent. It was a wondrous mountain.
Beneath the caverns of Tianlin Continent, legend told of a mystical spring called the Life Spring. It erged once every four hundred years. Wang Mu had heard about it from Brother Jiu a long ti ago. Rumor had it that drinking from this spring could alter one's marital fate and destiny, holding profound mysteries. Life Spring, as the na suggests, ant that after drinking it, one could be with one's Taoist couple for a lifeti.
Of course, this was only a rumor. Hundreds of years had passed since the Life Spring last appeared. Cultivators from that era were now mostly Nascent Soul Cultivators, and so had long since turned to dust. The rumors of the world could never be fully trusted.
The Heavenly Spirit Spring Mu Hongyuan spoke of was located on Tianluo Mountain, which lay above these caverns. Tianluo Mountain itself was a marvel, a colossal peak tens of thousands of zhang high that plunged deep into the earth. Legends claid these caverns connected to another small world. This world was inhabited by formidable creatures, and only cultivators at least at the Nascent Soul Level could enter to hone their skills. It was also known throughout the Nine Provinces as a place of great danger.
The Great Tianluo Saint resided atop Tianluo Mountain. Two hundred years ago, this being was one of Qianzhou's Eight Saints and a disciple of Great Saint Shi Ji of the Sea Calming Stone Ridge. Originally a Stone Essence, it was bathed in the essence of the sun and moon until it developed Spiritual Wisdom. It then beca a disciple under Great Saint Shi Ji, joining the Ancient Stone Clan. Later, for unknown reasons, it betrayed Great Saint Shi Ji and fled to the Tianlin Continent. There, it fell to the Demon Path. After a century of conflict, it gathered a large faction of Demon Cultivators on Tianluo Mountain, proclaid itself the Great Tianluo Saint, and seized control of this valuable territory.
