Chapter 364: Chapter 363 Sensing the Immortal Realm (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Sitting upright in the attic, Ning Xue spoke about recent events of the past century.
"Many times, having a Dao Companion who is too outstanding is not a good thing. It adds psychological pressure and makes life uncomfortable. Sometimes, catching up requires a huge cost. The master is highly gifted, not to mention Sister Wanyi. Even True Monarch Xi Yue also feels pressured!"
"At present, the master is not as strong as True Monarch Xi Yue; but in another three hundred years, the master might surpass True Monarch Xi Yue!"
"This time, True Monarch Xi Yue brought us to the Celestial Spirit Sect, and after paying a certain price, we entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm."
"The Ice and Snow Secret Realm was the station of a supreme sect from the Ancient Era but faded away with time. Most treasures inside the Ice and Snow Secret Realm were taken by the Celestial Spirit Sect. Yet, the icy environment, the Nine Heavens White Jade Bed, the Ice and Snow Lake, etc., are excellent places for cultivation!"
"After cultivating there for a hundred years, Sister Wanyi entered the Nascent Soul Realm, and I also shortly after entered the Nascent Soul Realm, but my foundation is unstable, and I need to consolidate it a bit, so I ask for your understanding, master."
As she spoke, Ning Xue disappeared to go into seclusion.
Having just entered the Nascent Soul Realm, it was the time to understand the realm and consolidate the foundation, and this period was most crucial.
They successively went into seclusion.
Lu Xuanji also began refining the Golden Core, tempering the physique.
Under the operation of the Golden Core, a faint magical power circulated outwards, nurturing the body, and the physical strength was increasing.
At this moment, the body had the characteristic of immortality and indestructibility, and even ordinary magic attacks would automatically reduce by three layers in power.
The Qi and blood within the body became more vigorous, like a burning furnace, emitting scorching brilliance, a faint air of destruction emanating, seemingly able to invoke a storm with just a thought.
Urging the Golden Core, threads of magical power surged forth, a vast magical power surged forth, sweeping all, suppressing all.
An ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator only had a thousand Armor of the Zodiac magical power; but now, his magical power was increasing dramatically, already increasing to three thousand Armor of the Zodiac.
At this point, against an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, he could suppress them with a wave of the hand.
But with his current realm and reputation, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would not dare to swagger in front of him, nor come to show off and get a slap in the face; if a Nascent Soul powerhouse were to attack him, it would certainly be a sixth-layer Nascent Soul powerhouse, or even a ninth-layer Nascent Soul powerhouse, coming to suppress him.
You can’t expect your enemies to be foolish, coming one after another like gourd babies saving their grandfather, each sending themselves to death.
The enemies are not foolish, on the contrary, they are very smart.
Over the years, assassination attempts against him have greatly decreased, but this does not mean they have given up, they are waiting for the opportune moment, waiting for the best opportunity.
If they strike, it will be with overwhelming thunderbolts, a lethal rhythm.
...
Time slips by, and in the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.
In the cave mansion, Lu Xuanji opened his eyes, sighing lightly.
The Golden Core was flawless, without a single blemish.
After increasing magical power to three thousand three hundred Armor of the Zodiac, it could no longer increase even by a bit.
When the body’s strength was refined to a flawless state, it also could not be enhanced further.
All things have a limit, and at this moment, he had refined Essence, Qi, and Spirit to the utmost, reaching a state where they could ascend no more.
In all three aspects of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, he had surpassed the limits of the human race’s physique and was comparable to the most superior Divine Beast.
At this moment, he stood at the ceiling of the Golden Core Realm.
As for being unprecedented and unrepeatable, it’s somewhat exaggerated.
But those young Immortal Kings, young Immortal Emperors, were only at his level.
This is not a racial limitation, but a law limitation.
When stepping out of the cave mansion, he happened to meet Jin Xi.
After seemingly recuperating for a while, Jin Xi’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit had all returned to peak condition. Looking at this quasi-Dao companion, he said, "Not bad, not bad, you’ve reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core Ninth Transformation. Back when I was at this stage, I was not as good as you; you’ve already reached the ceiling of the Golden Core Realm!"
"Come, let’s go in and break through!"
"Success or failure lies in this attempt; if we fail, it’s nothing. But if we don’t even have the courage to try, that would be a great loss!"
Even now, Jin Xi still believed the probability of achieving the Golden Core Tenth Transformation was low, with slim odds of success.
But even so, she still planned to give it a try.
Ye Wanyi said, "We’re still missing one, missing Bai Ling’Er from Qingqiu!"
Jin Xi said, "Bai Ling’Er has already arrived; she’s just on another battlefield that you can’t see!"
Ye Wanyi didn’t say anything further, nodding as she entered the cave mansion.
Jin Xi entered shortly after.
Then, Ning Xue also entered.
During the process of assaulting the Golden Core, Jin Xi, Ye Wanyi, Ning Xue, and others would all have a certain auxiliary effect, but it was just an auxiliary effect; the key lay with Lu Xuanji.
Jin Xi said, "Golden Core Tenth Transformation, how to break through... I don’t know either. The three of us here are more to ensure that when you are injured while trying for the Golden Core Tenth Transformation, we can heal you, just to ensure your survival!"
"Thank you!"
Lu Xuanji said, "Please follow me in here!"
Saying this, he urged the Grotto World Pearl, evoking a force of attraction.
Jin Xi did not resist and then entered the Grotto World Pearl.
Subsequently, Ye Wanyi, Ning Xue, and others also entered the Grotto World Pearl.
...
With his figure shifting, Lu Xuanji sat under the Tree of Time.
Rustling, the Tree of Time sounded, emitting a trace of ancient Power of Time.
This Spirit Tree, surviving fifty thousand years without death, has seen countless peerless geniuses perish.
Sitting under the tree, Lu Xuanji activated his Divine Thought, a thread of Divine Soul Power supported by the tree, constantly exploring into the void.
Toward the Immortal Realm in the unseen, exploring forth.
The Immortal Realm, located in a mysterious and unknown place, in the depths of space-time that no one knows, ethereal, nearly akin to the Great Dao.
Achieving immortality is the highest aspiration of every being in the cosmos.
Cultivating through the nine layers of immortality, each realm’s arduous cultivation, struggle between life and death, abandoning kinship, slaying wives to prove the Dao, etc., all for one goal, becoming immortal.
Entering the Immortal Realm, entering that origin place of the cosmos.
Legend holds that in the Immortal Realm, newborn infants inherently possess the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Golden Core True Masters and Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Mortal World might just arrive at the Immortal Realm and be suppressed by the Immortal Realm Laws, turned into pulp. Only upon reaching the Divinity Transformation can one withstand the suppression of the laws, to settle and live there.
Entering the Void Refining Realm, comprehending the mysteries of the void, one can use vast spiritual power to sense the location of the Immortal Realm, and to guide the Immortal Qi of the Immortal Realm, refining the Primordial Spirit and body, becoming a Half-Immortal Body, Immortal Body, then tear open the Immortal Realm Gate, pass the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, and ascend to the Immortal Realm.
But now, Lu Xuanji, merely at the Golden Core Ninth Transformation, was attempting like a Void Refining Powerhouse to perceive the location of the Immortal Realm.
