Chapter 212: Chapter 211: The Method of Forming the Golden Core of Senior Brothers (Thanks to the book friend Shengxin Wujie for the reward of the Alliance Leader)_1

Lu Yang naturally turned the page on Eldest Senior Sister, looking at how other senior brothers and sisters formed their golden cores.

Given Lu Yang’s understanding of Eldest Senior Sister, the method she used to form the golden core was not replicable.

Lu Yang heard that Eldest Senior Sister had pushed each realm to its limit, and when she shattered her core to reach nascent soul stage, it induced thunder tribulation as a punishment, which was very terrifying.

You must know that only when breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage would one attract thunder tribulation. For thunder tribulation to occur at the Nascent Soul Stage was unprecedented!

A senior brother, attempting to mimic the method of Eldest Senior Sister, wished to form a nascent soul that would attract heavenly tribulation. He expended countless efforts, continuously reinforcing his foundation with strength from the Golden Core Stage, finally managing to break the core and reach nascent soul stage, attracting thunder.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the senior brother’s nascent soul actively resisted, withstanding the power of the thunder tribulation and breaking it apart.

A nascent soul that could actively resist was something that even Eldest Senior Sister’s nascent soul couldn’t achieve. This was akin to having an additional powerful clone, and his battle strength surged.

Just when everyone thought they were witnessing the creation of new history, that senior brother’s nascent soul, without uttering a word, beat the senior brother until he was down and out, and despite fiercely resisting, that senior brother was still defeated.

Even though that senior brother had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he was unable to defeat his own nascent soul.

In a sense, history was indeed created.

Daoist Buyu tried to help that senior brother control the nascent soul, but after several fruitless attempts, he could only shatter the nascent soul, advising the senior brother to use other methods to break the core to reach nascent, taking the normal path and avoid going around in circles.

This matter was too humiliating, so only those within the Seek Dao Sect knew about it.

As for the real name of that senior brother, it was known to few.

However, Lu Yang heard from Meng Jingzhou through small talk that the senior brother who lost face was Daoist Buyu’s second disciple, his own Second Senior Brother.

This Senior Brother was currently training in the Western Golden Buddha Kingdom. Lu Yang hadn’t had a chance to meet him yet. He’d only seen a black and white portrait of him in the main hall of Sky Gate Mountain.

Sometimes, when praying that Second Senior Brother’s training was going smoothly, Lu Yang would light a stick of incense as a wish for him.

Lu Yang was fair in his treatment; he would also light a stick of incense for the Third Senior Sister casually.

“Let me look at Senior Brother Dai Bufan’s golden core. The Water-wishful Golden Core, a first-grade golden core. It’s clear and refreshing, spiritual but not cold. Gold and blue intertwine in the Dantian, and it self-circulates, self-practices, turning our spiritual essence into waves that diffuse inside our body, ensuring that our spiritual essence is always in its peak state.”

“Cultivation method: Drink water everyday till the point of water intoxication, and then soak in a lake for ten days without emerging from the water. Imagine oneself as a fish, swimming freely in the lake, changing shape as wanted. At last, use the Dantian as a storage ring. Use the power of space to store the water of a whole lake in your stomach, merge it with your own spiritual essence and compress it into a golden core.”

“Cautions: Do not get lost in the imagination of being a fish, lest you bite the hook once you see the bait.”

“Prior to storing a whole lake of water in your stomach, please give advance notice to avoid being arrested, just like what happened to me.”

“Water intoxication is normal, please prepare corresponding elixirs before drinking water.”

Seeing those three cautions, Lu Yang found it hard to imagine what Dai Bufan had encountered.

“Eh, it’s a water-attributed golden core,” Fairy Eternity’s voice rang through the room.

Lu Yang was quite surprised: “Fairy, you’re still awake?”

“I’ll sleep when I’m tired of playing,” Fairy Eternity brushed him off. “Speaking of water-attributed golden cores, I recall having had two opponents with them. Both of their cores were first-grade, but there were few opponents who could match them in the golden core stage. If they formed an alliance, they would be invincible.”

“The golden core of one of them was Three Rivers and Five Lakes Pill. He could summon the power of multiple rivers and lakes, call forth water from these bodies. The other’s golden core was the Endless Sea Pill, which could arouse the power of the ocean, invoking tremendous seawater.”

“Which of these two types of golden cores is stronger, the Endless Sea Pill?” Lu Yang was curious. After all, how could the power of rivers compare with the ocean?

Fairy Eternity shook her head: “The power of rivers can’t compare with the ocean, but you can’t release all the power of the golden core all at once, there will be a limit. The maximum power of these two types of golden cores is almost the same, you can’t say which one is stronger.”

Lu Yang was even more curious. Both of these golden cores were water-attribute first-grade cores. They didn’t sound too different in function, and their power seemed not too different either.

“Then what exactly is the difference between these two types of golden cores?”

“Of course, one releases freshwater and the other releases salt water,” Fairy Eternity naturally answered, with a look like ‘You really are stupid, Lu Yang.’

Lu Yang: “…”

You ancient cultivators had too much time on your hands, didn’t you, to differentiate between freshwater golden cores and salt water golden cores.

“Although these two individuals were quite strong, they were no match for my Diving Spell,” Fairy Eternity tried to speak lightly, showing that kind of confidence as if enemies turned to ashes easily in her hands, but seeing her lips curling up, Lu Yang knew how pleased she was.

Lu Yang was moved inwardly, a fairy was indeed a fairy. Although she often behaved unreliably, when he thought about it, there were numerous geniuses in ancient times, shining brightly like stars, it was the most prosperous era for cultivation.

Moreover, the competition in ancient times was brutal. Under such circumstances, Fairy Eternity was able to become one of the five immortals of the ancient times. She must have overcome many seemingly insurmountable enemies on her way to immortality. How could such a person be weak?

Golden cores are ranked from one to nine: one is the strongest, nine is the weakest. First-grade golden cores are extremely rare, like finding gold in the sand. Even in a cultivation sect like the Seek Dao Sect, where every disciple could be considered a genius in the outside world, it could only guarantee that everyone had a upper third-grade golden core, only a minority had first-grade golden cores.

This in itself illustrated the formidable strength of the first-grade golden core.

Taking on two first-grade golden cores together, one doesn’t need to say how invincible that is, yet they were broken by her with a single move. This kind of record is absolutely terrifying.

“By the way, Fairy, what was your cultivation level at that time?”

“Nascent Soul Stage.”

“… I knew it.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

Lu Yang continued to read. After Dai Bufan, the next was Ji Hongwen.

“Four Seasons Green Bamboo Pill, a first-grade golden core. The Elixir Pattern it contains is a bamboo forest. The four seasons revolve, and the color of the green bamboo does not change, always green. It is calming, steadfast, tenacious, and gentle, just like a gentleman.

“Cultivation method: When a bamboo first sprouts, the buds are only an inch long, yet they already have nodes and leaves. Therefore, one must have a complete bamboo in his mind before practicing. Once you’re deeply familiar with it, you can start eating bamboo and drinking bamboo soup. Get close to nature, experience nature. Noting but the color green should fill your view. Only then can you form the golden core.”

“Warning: Those who can’t paint well should not form this golden core.”

“Beware of the attacks from pandas when experiencing nature in the bamboo forest. They might think you are stealing their food.”

“This golden core forming method applies only to green bamboo. Please don’t extrapolate to other vegetation like cacti, Emperor Flowers, and so on.”

It is evident that Senior Brother Dai Bufan and Ji Hongwen had some extraordinary experiences during their golden core formation.
