Chapter 420: Great Dao Chapter, Secrets of the Golden Core
Chapter 420: Great Dao Chapter, Secrets of the Golden Core
December 11, 2024
The gray-robed man, holding the Primordial Realm cultivator in his hand, flew along the way.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he stopped.
"Senior, why did you stop? This is Ji Prefecture, and Cangzhou is still ahead."
The Primordial Realm cultivator looked puzzled.
After this period of adaptation, his fear of heights had lessened, and his speech had become much more fluent.
"No need, I already know where the place is. You can go now." The gray-robed man said indifferently, pushing the Primordial Realm cultivator away.
"Ah! Senior, spare me!"
The Primordial Realm cultivator was suddenly terrified, feeling his body descending, and his fear reached its peak. He frantically waved his arms and legs, screaming.
Just as he thought he was about to be smashed to death, suddenly, a force descended upon him, dissipating most of his downward momentum.
In the end, he only suffered a bruised and swollen face, but he wasn't turned into a meat paste.
"Thank you, Senior, thank you!"
The Primordial Realm cultivator, disregarding his injuries, immediately started kowtowing in gratitude on the spot.
But when he looked up again, the gray-robed man was nowhere to be seen in the sky.
"Is the secret realm disturbance over there?"
After throwing the Primordial Realm cultivator to the ground, the gray-robed man left.
He looked in a certain direction, sensing the faint disturbance of the secret realm's door.
That day, his junior fellow disciple perished because he had learned of a newly opened secret realm and wanted to explore and claim it for himself.
So his death was definitely related to that secret realm.
The gray-robed man's teleportation speed was extremely fast, and before long, he arrived above a valley, looking at the black vortex entrance below.
"Is this the place? I sensed it, and I felt my junior fellow disciple's aura here."
...
"This Golden Core realm is truly profound and vast, surpassing my imagination."
Lu Qing opened his eyes, filled with awe.
At this moment, the jade slip in his hand had disappeared.
He had not only downloaded and simulated the several jade slips left by the white-robed youth but also read and comprehended them.
Even the Great Dao Chapter bestowed before the tribulation vortex dissipated had been roughly comprehended.
Among them, the jade slips left by the white-robed youth recorded several cultivation techniques and some secret spells.
Unfortunately, those cultivation techniques were all water-element techniques, and the highest realm achievable was only the Golden Core Perfection.
There were no higher-level techniques.
Lu Qing guessed that this was probably due to the restrictions of the white-robed youth's sect. At each stage, disciples could only exchange cultivation techniques corresponding to their realm to prevent accidental leaks of the entire cultivation technique.
This comprehension also made Lu Qing realize that the Golden Core realm was far more profound and mysterious than he had imagined, vast and profound.
The Golden Core is divided into four grades: the upper, middle, and lower grades, as well as the perfect Golden Core.
In terms of realm, the Golden Core realm is further divided into nine levels, known as the Ninefold Golden Core Transformation.
With each breakthrough, the Golden Core undergoes a metamorphosis, resulting in a surge of spiritual power and a significant enhancement of the Golden Core's might.
It can be said that each transformation of the Ninefold Golden Core is like climbing a heavenly ladder.
One must continuously refine and purify their spiritual power, breaking through limits to induce qualitative changes and achieve breakthroughs.
It is a challenging task for those without great perseverance and determination.
Moreover, according to the cultivation techniques recorded in the jade slips left by the white-robed youth,
The rank of the Golden Core is closely related to the realm one can achieve in the Golden Core Realm.
Generally, an Inferior Grade Golden Core can cultivate up to the third stage, while a Mediocre Grade Golden Core can reach the sixth stage. Only a Superior Grade Golden Core can cultivate beyond the seventh stage.
Therefore, after reaching their cultivation bottleneck, Golden Core Realm experts will usually do everything to refine and enhance their Golden Core, improving its rank.
Only then will they have the chance to continue breaking through.
"According to the cultivation techniques left by the white-robed youth, after a cultivator reaches the seventh stage, the Divine Being nurtured within the Golden Core is already powerful enough to challenge the Essence Soul Realm."
However, the probability of failure when challenging the Essence Soul Realm at the seventh stage is very high.
Even if one is lucky enough to successfully cross the tribulation and achieve the Essence Soul, their potential is often limited, and they won't progress far in the Essence Soul Realm.
It's likely that they won't last long before falling to the tribulation of the Essence Soul.
Only after reaching the eighth or ninth stage, not only does the probability of breaking through to the Essence Soul Realm increase significantly, but also, upon achieving the Essence Soul, one's foundation will be deep and solid, allowing them to travel a long path in the Essence Soul Realm.
Enduring countless tribulations, it's difficult to extinguish, an ancient existence."
Lu Qing's mind was filled with various insights.
The white-robed youth was indeed worthy of being a cultivator from the Great World. The cultivation techniques he practiced were far more exquisite than those inherited from the Flame Cauldron Sect.
The explanations about the Golden Core Realm and the division of cultivation stages were also much more detailed and accurate than the cultivation techniques of this world.
It's worth noting that, whether it's the Flame Cauldron Sect's core heritage or the Five Elements Body Refinement Technique he cultivated, they only divided the Golden Core Realm into three simple stages: Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, and Perfection.
They didn't summarize a comprehensive cultivation system like the Golden Core's nine stages.
"However, the cultivation techniques from the white-robed youth's world all consider the ninth stage of the Golden Core as the limit of the Golden Core Realm.
In actuality, the ninth stage of the Golden Core is not the limit of the Golden Core Realm.
The true limit of the Golden Core Realm should be the twelfth stage!"
Lu Qing's eyes lit up as he whispered to himself.
He wasn't just imagining this; it was clearly recorded in the Great Dao Chapter that was passed down from the Heavenly Tribulation Vortex.
The Great Dao Chapter given to Lu Qing by the Heavenly Tribulation Vortex before it dissipated was specifically about the Golden Core Realm.
It didn't contain any explicit cultivation techniques but only had a profound Great Dao explanation about the Golden Core Realm.
However, this Great Dao explanation clearly stated that the twelfth stage of the Golden Core is the true perfection of the Golden Core Realm.
Only by refining a Perfect Golden Core can cultivators hope to break through the limit and reach the ninth stage.
Other ranks of Golden Cores, even Superior Grade ones, cannot surpass the limit of the ninth stage.
From this perspective, it's not entirely wrong for the cultivation techniques left by the white-robed youth to consider the ninth stage as the perfection of the Golden Core Realm.
After all, a Perfect Golden Core is too extraordinary; only one can appear in a world during an era.
Many cultivation worlds may not even know of the existence of a Perfect Golden Core.
Lu Qing had obtained numerous opportunities and had the assistance of his extraordinary ability, which allowed him to break through limits multiple times, cultivate the Five Elements, and truly perfect the Foundation Establishment Realm without any flaws or obstacles. Only then, by chance, did he manage to condense this Perfect Golden Core.
If he had missed any one of these opportunities, he might not have been this fortunate.
"However, this means that my future cultivation path will likely become much more challenging."
