Chapter 306: Chapter 305: Three Golden Cores in One Family (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Inside the palace, the furnishings were simple.
Upon the bed, Lu Xuanji was perusing a jade scroll, his expression carrying a sense of leisure and ease.
But suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
All because he saw some content on the jade scroll.
Within the jade scroll, it recorded the cultivation insights of a predecessor from the Void Training realm. When introducing the Golden Core realm, it wrote down some content as follows.
[The nine transformations of the Golden Core are not the ultimate. Above it are the ten transformations, eleven transformations, and twelve transformations.]
[The nine transformations require the Golden Core to absorb celestial gold, condense into immortal divinity, transforming into an immortal Golden Core.]
[The ten transformations require a trace of divine soul to descend into the immortal realm, touching complete laws, transforming into a flawless Golden Core.]
[The eleven transformations require sensing the power of fate, choosing one possibility from countless future possibilities, condensing into a supreme fate.]
[The twelve transformations are unspeakable, unknowable, indescribable, involving taboos in the unknown.]
[The nine transformations are the ultimate in the mortal realm, even in the immortal realm. The latter three transformations are unrelated to cultivators, involving fate struggle, destiny struggle, and creation struggle in the unknown. Cultivators ascending from nine transformations to twelve transformations will not experience a significant improvement in cultivation, magical power, or dao practice, but in fate and destiny.]
Closing the jade scroll, Lu Xuanji slightly frowned, his heart fluctuating.
Confusion, confusion, still confusion.
But roughly pondering, he also sensed the immense difficulty and danger within.
The ten transformations, divine soul descending into the immortal realm... How is this possible!
Lu Xuanji gazed into the void, where countless stars resided, but he could not find the immortal realm.
What is the immortal realm?
The immortal realm lies in the endless void, possibly belonging to another universe, or perhaps in another subspace.
Only upon reaching Refining Void can one sense the existence of the immortal realm.
Upon reaching Harmonization, one can descend a trace of divine soul into the immortal realm.
But the ten transformations of the Golden Core require a trace of divine soul to descend into the immortal realm, akin to letting an infant take a calculus exam.
The eleven transformations, sensing the power of fate, remain inexplicable.
The twelve transformations are simply taboo.
Even if the twelve transformations are condensed, cultivation will not experience a drastic increase, combat power remains unchanged, dao practice unchanged, cultivation unchanged.
The benefits are minimal, yet the troubles are numerous, no wonder many cultivators abandon the latter three transformations as unnecessary.
The first nine transformations belong to the formal curriculum of the school;
The latter three transformations are considered as extracurricular tutoring.
Some students study well in school without attending extracurricular lessons, yet still attend prestigious universities;
Likewise, some students receive tutoring, but still fail miserably.
"Do not understand! Then let it be! After all, I am only at the Golden Core third transformation, at least a hundred years away from the nine transformations, let’s talk about the rest then!"
Lu Xuanji said, closing the jade book, his expression becoming calm.
The Golden Core revolved, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy flowing from the Grotto World Pearl, refining it into the dantian, transforming it into threads of magical power, magical power constantly settling, gathering into the Golden Core, the Golden Core perpetually growing, its aura continually strengthening.
Magical power incrementally increased, approaching three hundred jiazi.
Upon reaching the Golden Core realm, cultivation enhancement primarily involves qualitative and quantitative elevation.
Continually accumulating magical power, once magical power reaches a certain threshold and can no longer increase, one must compress magical power, enhancing its quality; simultaneously, consistently broadening the volume of the Golden Core, increasing its capacity.
After achieving Golden Core, one must continuously refine high-grade spiritual energy, accelerating cultivation speed.
This process extremely consumes time.
Many cultivators converge upon spirit veins, closing themselves off for decades, even centuries, perpetually accumulating magical power to reach the limit.
But with the Grotto World Pearl, everything became much more convenient.
The Grotto World Pearl, akin to a cultivation cheat tool.
Carrying the Grotto World Pearl is equivalent to having a portable sixth-grade human vein, constantly refining spiritual energy, perpetually in a state of cultivation, exponentially faster than other Golden Core cultivators.
A maximum of twenty years, and one can advance to the fourth transformation.
...
Time passed gradually, and in the blink of an eye, ten years went by.
At this very moment, Lu Xuanji suddenly felt a twinge of his heart, instinctively ended his seclusion, and exited the cave mansion.
His figure flickered, disappearing.
Striding upon golden light, transforming into a golden glow vanished.
In an instant, he arrived near the Lu family.
About ten miles from the Lu family, in the wilderness, heavenly tribulation clouds gathered in a dark overwhelming mass, inside sparked with electric light, destructive thunder tearing everything apart, annihilating all.
In the heavenly tribulation, a middle-aged man was fighting fiercely, constantly breaking the calamity.
When the ninth thunder tribulation dissipated, a rainbow light descended, the Great Elder’s aura transformed, cultivation escalating rapidly, entering the Golden Core realm.
However, the Great Elder’s foundation was insufficient, only condensing into a medium-grade Golden Core, the upper limit merely being the sixth transformation of the Golden Core, making the possibility of proving Nascent Soul unlikely.
Among ten Golden Core cultivators, five are lower grade, three are medium grade, only one or two are upper grade.
"Congratulations Great Elder, for stepping into Golden Core!"
Lu Xuanji stepped forward and said.
"Haha, I never thought I would step into Golden Core!" The Great Elder laughed, his tone carefree, with a faint joy.
Golden Core is hard to achieve, the great path is hard to seek!
In his estimation, attaining the Purple Mansion was a blessing from the ancestors, as for the Golden Core, he never even considered.
But who would’ve thought, the Lu family produced a true dragon, and under this dragon’s elevation, he forcibly turned the impossible into possible, attaining the Golden Core.
The Golden Core’s lifespan is a thousand years, he now has long years ahead to witness the world’s ebb and flow, and all things’ transformations.
"Never did I expect our Lu family to astonishingly produce three Golden Core cultivators, everything seems like a dream!" The Great Elder lamented, "Upon encountering such a prosperous age, our Lu family ought to celebrate greatly!"
"Naturally!"
Lu Xuanji nodded and said.
Shortly after, Ye Wanyi returned.
The three Golden Core members of the Lu family gathered, commencing a grand feast, fervently celebrating, the entire family exuding indescribable joy.
The invited cultivators bore complex expressions, with envy, jealousy, and unease.
The Lu family has risen!
In the state of Chu, a Golden Core family has emerged once again.
What luck, what fortune.
Often there are times when resources alone cannot forge strong ones.
Consuming the Golden Core pill also has just a thirty percent chance, meaning out of three who attempt the Golden Core breakthrough, two will fail, only one succeeds.
Yet the Lu family fared well, producing three Golden Cores successively within a mere century, an astonishing streak of luck.
The joy continued, the banquet for three months, only then did it conclude.
