Chapter 403: Golden Core Journey
Chapter 403: Golden Core Journey
Central Land, atop a famous mountain and river.
Two figures sat cross-legged, cultivating.
Each breath they took seemed to stir the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several miles, creating an awe-inspiring sight.
Half an hour later, the two figures finished their breathing exercises and slowly retracted their cultivation.
"Shi Di, how is it?" asked the man in gray robes.
"Senior Brother, this mystic realm is primarily dominated by water elemental power, and the essence within is quite beneficial to me.
Unfortunately, the realm is too small, and much of its essence has been wasted by those fools.
Otherwise, I should have been able to break through to the Second Stage Perfection."
A hint of malevolence flashed in the eyes of the youth in white robes as he thought of this.
It was not easy to find a place that produced the Quintessence of the Five Elements, perfectly suited to his path of cultivation.
Yet, the essence within had been squandered by a bunch of ants.
Thinking of this, his heart filled with killing intent once more.
Unfortunately, he had already turned those ants into ashes, or else he would have captured them and tortured them thoroughly.
"Senior Brother, have you managed to enter the Fourth Stage Golden Core?"
"It's not that easy," the man in gray robes sighed. "Each stage of the Ninth Stage Golden Core is like climbing a celestial ladder, incredibly difficult. Advancing from the Third Stage to the Fourth Stage is especially challenging.
Our foundation is still too shallow. It's nearly impossible to reach the Fourth Stage with an Inferior Golden Core."
The youth in white robes fell silent.
Indeed, each stage of the Ninth Stage Golden Core was incredibly difficult to break through.
Every three stages presented a significant hurdle.
It was nearly impossible to reach the Fourth Stage with an Inferior Golden Core.
Even with the Senior Brother's accumulation and the gains from the previous mystic realms, he still couldn't break through the obstacles of the Third Stage.
"However, the earth elemental essence obtained from that small mystic realm has significantly improved my cultivation.
My Golden Core has been refined and purified.
Not only have I reached the Third Stage Perfection, but I've also glimpsed a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.
I estimate that with a few more days of refinement, I should be able to break through."
Suddenly, the man in gray robes changed his tone.
"You mean you'll be able to break through in a few days?" The youth in white robes was overjoyed. "Senior Brother, are you serious?"
"Of course I am," the man in gray robes smiled. "I never expected this minor world to be so extraordinary.
The derived mystic realms can even nurture the Quintessence of the Five Elements.
This is quite rare even in the Major World.
No wonder they say that during the previous cultivation era, this place produced multiple Primordial Spirit Powerhouses."
"It's a pity that it's still just a minor world with limited potential. Even if it produced Primordial Spirit Powerhouses, they were probably only at the First and Second Tribulation of Divine Soul. Otherwise, they wouldn't have feared the Heavenly Deity Five Decline Tribulation and been forced to leave."
The youth in white robes was unconvinced.
They had also learned about the ancient past of this minor world during their stay.
"But the fact that a minor world could produce so many Primordial Spirit Powerhouses is proof of its extraordinariness.
Shi Di, we've truly stumbled upon a great fortune this time."
"Unfortunately, the revival of this minor world is still insufficient. Only a few small mystic realms have appeared, and the opportunities within have been largely ruined by those ants.
Otherwise, Senior Brother, you should have already entered the Fourth Stage."
"There's no need to be too disappointed. It's just a matter of time. After another period of seclusion, I should be able to break through as well."
As the two brothers were chatting, a figure cautiously approached the summit, prostrating himself on the ground and offering an extremely respectful salute to the man in gray robes.
"Honorable Lords, I have a matter to report."
"Speak, what is it?" The white-robed youth glanced at the man indifferently.
As Golden Core cultivators, the two naturally wouldn't involve themselves in every trivial matter.
So, during these days, they exerted their abilities slightly, subjugating some factions to serve their purposes.
Whether these people truly submitted from their hearts didn't concern them.
After all, to them, these were mere ants that could be crushed effortlessly.
The visitor felt the gaze of the white-robed youth, and his body trembled, his mind filled with trepidation.
Although his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Primordial Realm, making him an ultimate master in the entire world, he still felt immense fear before these two terrifying existences.
After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes how they effortlessly waved their hands, causing numerous Primordial Realm experts to turn to ash.
Their formidable divine abilities were so incomprehensible that even now, he couldn't fathom them.
However, despite his fear, he also knew that these two before him might be his opportunity.
If he could please them, perhaps his chance to enter the Immortal Dao was right before him.
So, despite the immense pressure, the visitor steadied his mind and spoke with utmost reverence:
"Honorable Lord, I received news from below that not long ago, in a peripheral province named Cangzhou, a new mystic realm appeared, causing quite a stir."
"You say a new mystic realm has emerged?" The white-robed youth asked.
With a flash, he appeared before the man, staring intently at him.
"This... this is absolutely true, Honorable Lord. I only dared to come and report after confirming the news myself." The man replied, trembling under the white-robed youth's gaze.
"Senior Brother," the white-robed youth turned to the gray-robed man.
"It seems our luck is still rising. We were just discussing mystic realms, and now another one has appeared."
The gray-robed man's face also lit up with joy.
"Senior Brother, you're about to break through soon, so it's not advisable for you to move much. I'll go first and check out the situation in that mystic realm," suggested the white-robed youth.
"Alright, but you should also be careful."
The gray-robed man pondered for a moment and nodded.
He had just comprehended a hint of the mystical principle for breaking through to the fourth stage of the Golden Core Realm, and such cultivation insights were fleeting. It was indeed not suitable to venture out.
If the moment of enlightenment were to fade, the breakthrough would be delayed, and that would be a loss.
"Rest assured, Senior Brother, we've already explored the ins and outs of this minor world, haven't we? Even those so-called four secret places are just empty names, without a single Golden Core cultivator. If they weren't hiding in the mystic realm, we would have flattened them long ago," the white-robed youth said nonchalantly.
The gray-robed man agreed, and instead of further admonishing him, he said, "Then go ahead, but remember, don't cause too much bloodshed, or you might provoke the heavenly retribution of this world."
"I understand, Senior Brother. I'll go now to prevent these ants from ruining the new mystic realm.
I'll send you a message after I investigate the situation in that mystic realm."
The white-robed youth acknowledged and reached out, grabbing the man who had been kneeling on the ground. His body rose into the air.
"Ant, lead the way!"
In an instant, he transformed into a streak of light and flew out.
