Chapter 109 Qingyuan Zhenren
"Four simulations, and finally, a True Person, a Flawless Golden Core True Person."
Outside of the simulation, Zhou Qing breathed a long sigh of relief.
This is the foundation of the Nascent Soul, the true person who has formed a flawless golden elixir, also known as the Nascent Soul seed.
They will receive additional assistance when they attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
Furthermore, the Flawless Golden Elixir greatly enhances a True Person's cultivation and helps them break through bottlenecks and limitations.
Most importantly, for Zhou Qing, as long as he achieves the Flawless Golden Core in this simulation, every subsequent simulation will start from this point.
Inside the cave, you carefully observe the flawless golden elixir within your dantian.
The wisp of primordial Yin energy played a crucial role in enabling the formation of this flawless golden core.
[When a superior Golden Core is transforming into a flawless Golden Core, you cannot take that step without primordial Yin energy.]
[After a moment, you begin to feel the changes within yourself.]
The formation of a flawless golden core signifies that you have entered the Core Formation stage.
[First is lifespan; your maximum lifespan has been increased to five hundred years.]
[A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator can sense roughly how much of their lifespan remains.]
[A Core Formation stage cultivator, while not accurate to the month, will have an error margin of no more than five or ten years.]
"My remaining lifespan is 462 years..."
A smile appeared on your face.
Throughout the entire Taiyuan Domain, and even encompassing several surrounding major domains, it is extremely rare to find a True Person with 462 years of lifespan remaining.
Even for cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, reaching the Core Formation stage usually means they are around seventy years old, with only about four hundred years of lifespan remaining.
And you, you're only twenty-eight years old now, not even past infancy compared to a lifespan of five hundred years.
[This was after you sacrificed ten years of your lifespan before attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage, using this time to secure your position in the Purple Bamboo Forest cave and ensure you wouldn't be disturbed during your breakthrough.]
"Not bad, not bad, not bad."
[Your excellent mood and long lifespan mean a high margin for error. You not only have more time to break through realms, but you can also experience a longer time span to gather key information and intelligence to prepare for future simulations.]
[Through four simulations, you'll naturally understand the importance of key intelligence]
"Divine sense! My current divine sense can cover a radius of ten miles, approaching the peak of the early stage of Core Formation."
You thought to yourself.
[A normal early-stage Core Formation cultivator's spiritual sense can cover an area of about five or six li.]
Compared to Foundation Establishment cultivators, True Immortals' divine sense not only has a significantly increased coverage area, but also represents a qualitative leap in terms of intensity and search capabilities.
[You possess numerous skills, coupled with an innate and unyielding will, making your spiritual sense inherently stronger than that of cultivators of the same level. Furthermore, the formation of a flawless golden core has further enhanced your spiritual sense, surpassing even the benefits of a normal early-stage core formation.]
"Magic power..."
[You begin to feel the power of the Golden Core, and are involuntarily moved.]
The greatest advantage of a flawless Golden Core cultivator, besides having a deeper foundation, making it easier to break through bottlenecks, and providing specific assistance in the final breakthrough from the core to the nascent soul, is...
[It lies in magical power]
After all, cultivators of the Qi Refining system are also known as magic cultivators, and their greatest strength lies in their magical power.
[You are quite certain that the quality and depth of your magical power nearly surpasses that of an ordinary peak early-stage Core Formation cultivator.]
[In a real all-out battle, he could almost rival an ordinary mid-stage True Immortal.]
Of course, this is just a theoretical challenge. If a mid-stage True Immortal has some trump cards, such as magical treasures or secret techniques, you still need to be careful.
In battles between true immortals, magical power is not the only factor to consider, unless it is a later-stage Grand Immortal whose magical power overwhelms everything.
Given your style of doing things, you wouldn't attack a mid-stage True Immortal with only initial-stage strength unless absolutely necessary.
Do you prefer Foundation Establishment stage cultivators?
You actually quite like demonic cultivation too?
"In terms of physical body, there hasn't been much improvement; it's still at the late stage of the second tier of body refinement..."
You shook your head inwardly, not at all surprised.
The most terrifying aspect of a cultivator lies in their magical power, their golden core, and their nascent soul.
It is said that in ancient times, those true masters who cultivated magic regarded the physical body as worthless, and instead roamed the world and ruled over all living beings with their nascent soul spirits.
However, in the recent ancient period, which is the present era, Nascent Soul True Monarchs began to value the physical body and even practiced ancient body cultivation techniques.
【"Um?"】
You glanced outside the cave, your Core Formation stage divine sense sweeping across the surrounding area for miles like flowing water, sensing the auras of several True Immortals.
This was entirely within your expectations.
Breaking through to the Core Formation stage is not a matter of a day or two; it could take several months at most.
[It will definitely attract the attention of people nearby or passing by.]
However, the Purple Bamboo Forest is located in a remote area, so even if it attracts the attention of a true immortal, it will be half a month or a month later.
At that time, in the eyes of a True Immortal, you had basically used up all the spiritual items needed to break through to the Core Formation stage, so there was no reason for you to make a move.
Furthermore, since you didn't make any enemies in the Taiyuan Domain during this simulation, any passing real people have even less reason to attack you.
The Taiyuan Domain is not the Nine Nether Domain. The Core Formation cultivators here are more rational and will not make enemies easily.
Of course, most importantly, you sacrificed ten years of your lifespan before attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage, ensuring that this breakthrough will not be disrupted.
[In the third simulation, the ten years of your lifespan that you invested were even divined by Da Chun, who is comparable to a flawless Golden Core cultivator.]
This is your greatest source of confidence to break through in the Purple Bamboo Forest.
In the world of cultivation, there is no absolutely safe place to break through. Even within those immortal cities, who can guarantee that they will not be disturbed?
Furthermore, breaking through to the Core Formation stage in the Immortal City will inevitably require going through numerous application and review processes, and your identity will be thoroughly verified.
[Even more troublesome]
[If you choose the right time and place, it's actually safer outside]
Another half month has passed.
You have finally stabilized your Core Formation stage cultivation level.
"A flawless golden elixir, even cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots crave it... and I, with my superior spiritual root aptitude, have actually achieved it?"
Your thoughts have calmed down, but a lingering sense of excitement remains.
"It's time to go out."
You glanced outside and noticed that several more real-life figures had appeared.
[A Foundation Establishment cultivator has appeared in the more than one million li radius of the Taiyuan Domain? Completely inconspicuous.]
[But the addition of a Core Formation cultivator? Or a Golden Core cultivator? It will inevitably attract attention and scrutiny, to prevent it from being a spy sent by a hostile domain.]
You were well-prepared for this, even your identity and background were ready.
You slowly rose and walked out of the Purple Bamboo Forest cave.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist."
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on attaining the Golden Core stage!"
The aura of the Six Paths Immortal stood amidst the clouds, and upon seeing you emerge from your cave, he immediately offered his congratulations.
Further away, several Foundation Establishment cultivators who had come to admire you were looking up at you with awe.
Witnessing the birth of a Golden Core cultivator firsthand would definitely broaden the horizons of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
You glanced at the clouds.
[Sword Heart Master, Mysterious Turtle Master, Cold Feather Master...]
Two Golden Core cultivators, four Pseudo-Golden Core cultivators
The highest-ranking among them is True Person Sword Heart, who comes from the Golden Sword Sect, one of the five major sects in the Taiyuan Domain, and is a True Person at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
[The Mysterious Turtle Immortal is actually a fake Core Formation Immortal from Beast Taming Mountain]
【Master Hanyu....】
.】
As your gaze sweeps over each and every one of them, you feel a deep sense of emotion.
In the third simulation, you specifically took notes on the various True Immortals of the Taiyuan Domain, so that you could stay far away when you saw them in person.
[At that time, the Xuan Turtle Immortal of Beast Taming Mountain was still a behemoth in your eyes. Even when dealing with Ruan Hu, who was not yet a direct descendant, he was extremely cautious, afraid of attracting the attention of Beast Taming Mountain.]
But now?
[The once colossal Xuan Turtle Immortal, now looks at you with a very humble demeanor.]
A fake Core Formation cultivator is inherently inferior to a True Core Formation cultivator.
[It's not just a difference in strength, but also because the strength of a fake Core Formation cultivator is forever fixed at the early Core Formation stage.]
"May I ask, fellow traveler, who is your teacher?"
[Master Jianxin took the initiative to speak and inquire.]
Those who can cultivate to the Core Formation stage, or even form a Golden Core, almost all have a master or disciple.
The term "lineage" here does not refer to which faction one comes from, but rather to one's own lineage or tradition.
Without any lineage or inheritance, relying solely on oneself to cultivate to the Core Formation stage? Or even to form a Golden Core? The probability is extremely low.
Even those who are independent cultivators have generally cultivated some kind of inheritance of considerable origin.
"The lineage I cultivate originates from the ancient Mountain and Sea School."
[You didn't hide anything. You raised your right hand, and a wisp of azure mountain and sea magic flowed around it, emanating an incomparably profound aura.]
The power of the mountains and seas is known for its profound and weighty nature.
Your decision to reveal that you come from the same lineage as the mountains and seas is clearly the result of careful consideration.
First of all, the Mountain and Sea lineage is not a heretical or demonic cultivation path. Hundreds of years ago, the True Master of the Mountain and Sea Sect, who also inherited the Mountain and Sea lineage, even established a sect in the Taiyuan Domain.
[Equivalent to having been registered in the Taiyuan Domain]
[Easier to integrate into the Taiyuan Domain]
As for the exposure of the Mountain and Sea lineage, which came to the attention of True Person Biyue...
To be honest, after you entered the Core Formation stage, you weren't too afraid of True Person Biyue.
So what if Master Biyue finds out? Does she dare to attack you?
[You possess the talent of a natural enemy of demonic cultivators, making you an innate counter to True Person Biyue]
At this current stage, Master Biyue has not yet entered the later stages of her cultivation.
[A mere mid-stage True Immortal is no match for you.]
Furthermore, to cultivate her own reputation, Master Biyue will definitely avoid taking action if possible.
[In the third simulation, if True Immortal Blood Sea hadn't taken the initiative to attack Azure Moon Immortal City, even if True Immortal Azure Moon knew that True Immortal Blood Sea was still alive, she probably wouldn't have bothered to pursue him.]
"A shared lineage of mountains and seas?"
[Kenshin's expression revealed a hint of reminiscence]
[Clearly, they had thought of this ancient lineage.]
"So it's the Mountain and Sea lineage. I remember that hundreds of years ago, a True Person from the Mountain and Sea lineage established a power in the Taiyuan Domain..."
[Master Hanyu spoke, his gaze towards you revealing a sense of closeness.]
As a Core Formation cultivator, he had a long lifespan. Back when True Immortal Hanyu was still in the Qi Refining stage, the Mountain and Sea Sect had only recently perished.
"The Mountain and Sea lineage has reappeared in the Taiyuan Domain; this is a joyous occasion..."
'
Sword Heart Master nodded slightly. With the addition of an ancient inheritor master, the overall strength of the Taiyuan Domain would also increase.
"I also remember the lineage of mountains and seas from back then..."
[The Mystic Turtle Immortal also spoke up.]
You chatted with six real people for a few minutes and could sense their obvious goodwill.
Clearly, you made the right decision by proactively showcasing the lineage of the Mountain and Sea school.
If we try to hide it, it will only arouse suspicion from Master Kenshin.
[True Sword Heart comes from the Golden Sword Sect, one of the five major sects in the Taiyuan Domain, and to a certain extent represents the attitude of the Taiyuan Palace.]
In the Taiyuan Domain, even a Core Formation cultivator needs the approval of the Taiyuan Palace to establish a permanent presence.
"Now that you have become a Golden Core True Person, do you have a Daoist name?"
[Kenshin Master asked.]
The so-called Taoist name is the name one gives oneself after becoming a True Person.
[Generally, it can represent one's own style of doing things, or a certain aspiration or ideal.]
For example, Master Jianxin uses "Sword Heart" as his Daoist name because he follows the ancient Heart Sword lineage.
[The Xuan Turtle Immortal... is most famous for his near-third-tier giant turtle.]
[Turtle-type demonic beasts are naturally adept at defense. Xuan Turtle True Man and the near-third-tier giant turtle are of one mind, so even when facing a Golden Core early-stage True Man, he can survive.]
"Let's call him Qingyuan."
You smiled slightly.
This Taoist name has nothing to do with your methods; the character "Qing" comes from your real-life name, Zhou Qing.
[In both simulations, the chamber of commerce you established was the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.]
"Master Qingyuan!"
Sword Heart Master and Mysterious Turtle Master pondered this Daoist title carefully, but did not see any further meaning in it.
"Qingyuan Zhenren," Jianxin Zhenren said with a smile, "Now that you have entered the Core Formation stage and are ranked as a Zhenren, when do you plan to hold the Core Formation celebration?"
Whether in the Taiyuan Domain or other major domains, once someone enters the Core Formation stage, a celebration is usually held to invite people from all directions and declare their existence.
After all, once one reaches the Core Formation stage, one enjoys a lifespan of five hundred years, truly witnessing the vicissitudes of life.
Of course, only Golden Core cultivators hold a Golden Core Formation celebration.
A fake cultivator is not qualified.
In ancient times, even a fake alchemist couldn't be considered a true immortal.
"A Core Formation Celebration?"
After a moment's thought, you say, "Six months from now."
For you, the Core Formation celebration is not just about making a statement, but also about using it to amass wealth.
[The forces or cultivators participating in the celebration can't possibly arrive empty-handed, can they?]
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, please invite me then..." After saying this, True Immortal Jianxin prepared to take his leave.
The other five immortals also took their leave one after another.
You glanced at the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the distance, their expressions filled with awe, but instead of leaving, you returned directly to your cave in the Purple Bamboo Forest.
"A Core Formation Celebration?"
[You casually sent a message talisman to You Rou. Such a trivial matter is naturally beyond my ability to handle personally; it's perfectly normal to delegate it to my subordinates.]
[Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce Base]
After handling the various matters of the Chamber of Commerce, You Rou rubbed her temples.
"Those few chambers of commerce, relying on their fake Core Formation experts as backers, only know how to bully my Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce..." You Rou thought of the problems the chamber of commerce had recently encountered and immediately felt a headache coming on.
[A fake Core Formation cultivator is an unassailable force for the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce these days; even if they are bullied, they can only endure it.]
"But the president hasn't contacted me for so long..." You Rou was a little worried. Even if you don't show up, you usually send a message talisman to tell the chamber of commerce what to do next.
Just then
A communication talisman arrived in an instant.
"The Chairman's communication talisman!"
Yu Rou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the app to check the president's instructions.
"Regarding the arrangements for the Core Formation Ceremony..."
You Rou was stunned, looked at it again, and almost thought she was hallucinating.
[Core Formation Celebration?]
