Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 693 - 328: Golden Core Perfection, Demonic Nascent Soul

Chapter 693: Chapter 328: Golden Core Perfection, Demonic Nascent Soul

"What a pity, it would be great if Yan Ruchen were one of our own direct lineage." True Monarch Lan Ling couldn’t help but sigh at this thought.

Yan Ruchen’s character, Dao heart, strength, and talent are all top-tier choices.

Even among overlord level forces that have Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, such a person would be a definite prodigy, treated like a treasure and given focused cultivation.

It is unfortunate that his origins are mysterious, being a Guest Minister always places a barrier between us.

Although Xu Ping has been in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons for many years and made significant contributions, that deeply-rooted Guest Minister identity ultimately causes True Monarch Lan Ling to have reservations, making it difficult to completely trust and entrust.

...

Time flies, another three years silently passed.

The turmoil of Great Xia Country joining the Six Demon Countries Alliance gradually settled, like a ripple in a lake finally returning to calm.

A new order was established by the demonic cultivators.

Although Great Xia appears tranquil on the surface, the undercurrents have never stopped.

Amidst this subtle situation, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons continues to maintain an outward neutrality, neither openly opposing the demonic infiltration nor actively cooperating with their actions, but adopting a wait-and-see attitude instead.

Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, underground cave of Celestial Cyan Peak.

On a huge jade platform, Xu Ping sat cross-legged at the center of a stone bed, his expression solemn and his breath steady.

He was enveloped by a faint cyan light, making him appear as though united with heaven and earth, perfectly integrated.

As his cultivation technique operated, the Spiritual Qi in the cave seemed to be summoned, rushing towards him.

The sight was like a thousand rivers flowing into the sea, vast and magnificent.

The Spiritual Qi formed a giant vortex, with Xu Ping at its center, constantly rotating and gathering.

The vortex spun faster and faster, the spiritual light grew increasingly intense.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound emanated from within Xu Ping, akin to spring thunder erupting, shaking the entire cave.

The pale cyan light surrounding him abruptly exploded, dazzling like the scorching sun, illuminating the entire cave.

Immediately, the light rapidly retracted, as if pulled by an invisible force, all of it was absorbed into Xu Ping’s body.

His body seemed to become a container with infinite capacity, assimilating all the spiritual lights within, transforming them for his own use.

The entire process lasted about an incense stick’s time, and when the last wisp of light vanished inside him, the cave returned to silence.

"Finally, it’s accomplished!"

Xu Ping opened his eyes, a flash of cyan light passed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

His cultivation had finally reached the level of Golden Core Perfection!

Moreover, the Longevity Skill he practiced had also finally reached the Perfection Level!

This dual delight filled Xu Ping with immense excitement.

With this step forward, he was now only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

Impatiently, Xu Ping opened his proficiency panel:

[Name: Xu Ping]

[Longevity: 214/2561 years]

[Realm: Late-Stage Golden Core: 100/100; Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill Level Six: 100/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill Perfection (Golden Core Chapter): ∞]

...

"214 years old, Golden Core Perfection, and my longevity has reached an astounding 2561 years!" A burst of uncontrollable joy flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

Such longevity would shock even Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Years of diligent cultivation finally bore fruit.

Now Xu Ping’s Divine Sense was as strong as that of a typical Peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

This level of Divine Sense intensity might not be matched by any Golden Core cultivators in the Eight Tribulation Domains.

Moreover, his mana and quality had undoubtedly reached the quasi-Fourth Rank level, making him a rare existence among Golden Core cultivators.

With his current foundation and cultivation, even without the aid of any Nascent Soul-forming Spiritual Objects, the success rate might still reach forty to fifty percent.

"Next, I need to find a Celestial Alchemist to refine a Nascent Soul Pill to prepare for the Nascent Soul breakthrough!" Xu Ping suppressed his excitement, quietly planning.

Over the years, although he remained in seclusion, through Xie Lu and Water Lake Rat, he still understood the changes in the outside world.

The Tu royal family continued to keep a low profile, obviously still hadn’t refined the True Nation Spirit Treasure.

And the demonic cultivators hadn’t caused any major disturbances, apparently making it suitable for him to go out and seek a Celestial Alchemist to perform alchemy.

...

A month later, Xu Ping stabilized his cultivation and officially left seclusion.

He then directly approached True Monarch Lan Ling to express his intention to go out.

Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Blue Water Peak.

In the main hall surrounded by flowing clouds.

Xu Ping and True Monarch Lan Ling sat facing each other.

Today, Xu Ping was dressed in a cyan robe, his face as fair as jade, his demeanor steady as a mountain.

While True Monarch Lan Ling, as always, wore a purple gown, flawlessly beautiful, with transcendent aura, like a celestial maiden descending from the heavens, untouched by earthly smoke.

"Senior brother has reached Golden Core Perfection and plans to go to Dan Yun City to find a Celestial Alchemist to refine a Nascent Soul Pill." Xu Ping spoke frankly, stating the purpose of the trip.

"Golden Core Perfection?"

True Monarch Lan Ling’s starlit eyes brightened, scrutinizing Xu Ping before her.

Despite his reserved aura, the depth and steadiness differed vastly from ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

"Junior Brother Ruchen’s foundation is indeed rare in my lifetime."

The approval flickered in True Monarch Lan Ling’s eyes, her voice gentle, "With such cultivation, such foundation, if coupled with excellent Nascent Soul-forming Spiritual Objects, the success rate would be remarkably high."

In the Cultivation Realm, breaking through to the Nascent Soul is an incredibly challenging hurdle. Countless talents have fallen, countless hopes have been extinguished.

Yet True Monarch Lan Ling was full of confidence in Yan Ruchen.

"Years of arduous cultivation have led to such achievements, really nothing to brag about." Xu Ping modestly replied, showing a faint smile.

"Junior Brother Ruchen’s excessive modesty is actually a form of arrogance."

A rare hint of playfulness flashed across True Monarch Lan Ling’s fair face, but soon returned to her usual composure.
