Chapter 546: Chapter 494: Condensing the Golden Core, Golden Core 6th Stage!
The biggest issue the Great Ming Divine Dynasty faces is preserving its interests and avoiding becoming everybody’s target in the upcoming return from the innumerable miles of the Sky Wasteland.
Understanding the specific situation in the Sky Wasteland and planning ahead is their current priority.
The most suitable person to provide this understanding would be the mysterious Mr. Wu. However, he stays day and night at the Imperial Astronomical Observatory with Bai Xiaosheng, so he is naturally excluded.
The siblings Xue Hanyi, who have been at Shenxiao Mountain for several years, and their ambiguous relationship with the Shenxiao Sect, are not good choices either.
The most suitable person, on the other hand, would be Mu Binghua from Heart Moon Lake. Although she is close to the Shenxiao Sect, after understanding the style of the forces at Heart Moon Lake in the Sky Wasteland, Gu Ji decisively invited her to discuss matters about the Sky Wasteland.
Nobody expected that they would confront this issue today.
Whether Pei Xuanjing has truly made a breakthrough to the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm is a matter of great significance.
A cultivator at the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm in the Sky Wasteland stands as a dominant force, let alone in the present Daming world. The original Pei Xuanjing was invincible, and now his strength has improved even more, causing countless people to harbor fear.
Wang Qiong inevitably set his gaze on Mu Binghua, waiting for her answer.
Mu Binghua slowly nodded: “Indeed, once I was fortunate to witness an elder from my sect make a breakthrough, and the phenomena were identical to this. However, the celestial phenomena of Grandmaster Pei’s breakthrough now are indeed superior.”
‘Superior,’ was a rather understated way for Mu Binghua to put it.
If you were to compare the breakthrough of her elder and Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough now side by side, the difference is as stark as mud and clouds.
Wang Qiong, being experienced, naturally noticed the unusual tone of Mu Binghua. But he did not expose it, he merely responded with a smile: “In that case, it is truly a blessing for all. With the Grandmaster’s presence, there should be no worry about any future accidents.”
Gu Ji also echoed with a smile.
Mu Binghua gave a faint smile, but in her heart, she sneered.
…….
Pei Xuanjing was unaware that his breakthrough caused celestial phenomena and stirred the thoughts of countless people.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing had just broken through, and the intangible and immaterial Golden Core rotated inside him, emitting a trace of unending existence. But if observed carefully, you would find that this Golden Core still had many deficiencies and was not truly perfect.
The Golden Core Dao is a form of inner alchemy, which is nurtured through the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit. Only after continuous refinement and transformation, when it gains the immortal and indestructible nature of gold and withstands all hardship, it could be regarded as a Golden Core.
As Pei Xuanjing considered his understanding of the Golden Core Dao, he lamented: “Perhaps what I’ve now formed cannot be called a Golden Core, but we can temporarily call it inner alchemy.”
The Golden Core is eternal, and it cannot be obliterated. He is certainly unable to achieve this at the moment and can only call it inner alchemy.
“Perhaps, only when I unravel the mystery of Becoming Immortal and my inner alchemy reaches the seventh turn, transforming into the eternal and immortal True Immortal will it be worthy of being called as Golden Core.” thought Pei Xuanjing.
Feeling the terrifying power contained in this inner alchemy, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Pei Xuanjing’s mouth. After all, no matter what happens in the future, he had already discovered his Great Tao and set foot on the path of the immortal True Immortal in search of eternal life.
What he needed next was to gather infinite resources, continue refining this inner alchemy until it is perfect, and transform it into a true Golden Core.
The Golden Core Sixth Turn, Spiritual Realm Sevenfold, stepping into the Sixth Level, Pei Xuanjing, who had spent sixty years in this world, had undergone countless life simulations, and had now truly risen to the top of this world.
Although he still lagged behind the powerful cultivators at the Ninth Level of the Spirit Realm, with his current strength, Pei Xuanjing had enough to protect himself.
He clearly understood that even if it was a cultivator who cultivated the Golden Core Dao, those of the same realm might not necessarily be his enemies. After all, even within the same Golden Core Dao, different Golden Cores represented different realms of accumulation.
Pei Xuanjing’s Golden Core, formed from his Five Directions and Five Elements cultivation foundation, incorporated the Four Seasons and Five Orders and the creation and destruction of thunder, was a supreme Golden Core. According to Pei Xuanjing’s division, there should also be superior, mediocre, and inferior Golden Cores, and his Golden Core was at least of the superior quality, top-tier among the Golden Cores.
Moreover, according to the news he received from Mr. Wu and others about the Sky Wasteland, it is still unknown whether there are cultivators who are cultivating the Golden Core Dao in the Sky Wasteland right now.
Regardless, at his current Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm, Pei Xuanjing was almost invincible. Few could challenge him within the same realm.
In the Daming World, he held the Golden Book and Jade Scroll. With the force of Heaven and Earth, he could even contest with the powerhouses of the Spirit Realm Eightfold. The only thing he needed to worry about were the most powerful cultivators at the Ninth Level of the Spirit Realm.
But the revival of Heaven and Earth had not yet reached its peak, and the powerful figures from the Sky Wasteland were still unable to return. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to exert their full strength. In this environment, who would win and who would lose is still unknown.
Pei Xuanjing gave a faint smile. With a single thought, the Golden Core in his body vanished into thin air, the overwhelming pressure dissipated, and he again appeared ordinary.
He raised his hand and made a grasp in the void, a jade Ruyi appeared in his hand. This is the divine artifact he had refined in this lifetime’s simulation: the Sanbao Jade Ruyi.
However, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi seemed to be repelled by this world. The moment it appeared, thunder roared continuously in the sky above, converging as if wanting to destroy this divine artifact.
As a divine artifact, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi naturally had its own spiritual nature. Feeling the repulsion from Heaven and Earth, it revived without needing Pei Xuanjing’s activation, and a terrifying aura rose in the room, spreading out instantly. Nearly everyone within hundreds of miles of Tiandu felt this terrifying aura.
Despite being shocked, when they realized the aura originated from the Taoist Academy, nobody said much. However, many powerful individuals were curious about what Pei Xuanjing had done.
Just a short while ago his breakthrough had created such a momentum, now he had done something to release such a terrifying aura again, making people’s hearts shudder with fear.
Only Mr. Wu of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory at the Imperial City furrowed his eyebrows. A flash of a brilliant idea crossed his eyes. He thought that Pei Xuanjing had perhaps truly refined the divine artifact he had mentioned earlier.
