Chapter 458: Chapter 147: Younger Disciple of the Mansion Master, Golden Core Dao Method (10K votes needed) – 6
Half a day had passed, and Su Yu was unable to grasp the basics, so he ceased cultivation of the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law.
He then began a new day of his regular cultivation.
The daily training of the Five Elements Method, Body Refinement Realm, and the Cicada Technique were not to be neglected. He would practice them methodically every day.
Under Su Yu’s steadfast dedication, the proficiency levels of these cultivation techniques saw a gradual improvement over time.
After his regular cultivation sessions ended, Su Yu would once again seek enlightenment in the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law.
Half a month later.
Buzz!
As a sense of profound wonder came forth, Su Yu’s spirit seemed to blend into the heavens and the earth around him. He vaguely felt the presence of the Five Elements, Space, and Time Dao.
Steeped in this profound state, Su Yu glimpsed a new world of Dao Law.
The intricacies of the various Dao intertwined, leaving him dazzled.
However, he could only maintain this state for less than ten breaths before his mind started to throb painfully. His spirit detached from the profound state and returned to his body.
Within this brief span, more than ninety percent of his soul power, which was comparable to the late-stage Core Formation Realm, had been depleted, almost to the point of exhaustion.
Su Yu closed his eyes and circulated the Cicada Technique to restore his soul power. Once some of it was regained, he contemplated quietly, sorting out the understandings from that profound state.
‘The mysteries of the universal Dao that I glimpsed seem to be related to my Golden Core or, to put it differently, to the methods of my cultivation.’
‘Since I cultivate the Five Elements Method, I managed to perceive the existence of the Five Elements Dao.’
‘And because I have understood some of the Power of Space Dao, I also beheld its existence.’
‘There are also traces of Time. As I cultivate the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, my body seems to hold the mystery of the Time Dao.’
However, as this was his first entry into such a state, he was somewhat reckless, consuming too much while gaining too little.
Su Yu speculated, ‘Hence, I need to have a clear target, like the Five Elements Dao, the Space Dao, or the void Dao of the Yin character celestial scripture I comprehended not long ago.’
‘The Five Elements Dao and the Void Dao are fine, as they don’t consume much.’
‘But the Space Dao and the Time Dao consumption is frightening. I only held on for less than ten breaths.’
Once his soul power was fully restored, Su Yu took a look at his proficiency panel.
As expected, there was additional information about a cultivation technique.
[Cultivation Technique: Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law (Beginner, Proficiency 0.01%)].
Su Yu pondered, ‘The stages of this technique are Beginner, Minor Success, Major Success, and Perfect Completion? When achieved Perfect Completion, can I evolve into a Nine-Turned Golden Core?’
With that thought, Su Yu suddenly felt invigorated.
He was not afraid of difficulty in comprehending cultivation techniques; he was worried about not having proficiency.
Once he had proficiency, all he needed to do was increase it, and the Dao Law would be comprehended naturally over time.
Thereafter, Su Yu began cultivating the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law once more, focusing on comprehending the Five Elements Dao, since it was a component of the Five Elements Method he was cultivating.
The Five Elements Dao was closely related to his own realm and the Five Elements Method.
Amidst the enormity of heaven and earth, nothing was more important than one’s cultivation realm. So he decided to set aside Space, Time, and Void for the moment.
Time passed swiftly during his seclusion.
A year later.
Perhaps due to his Golden Core having attained the Fourth Rank, the proficiency of the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law progressed rapidly.
In just one year, the proficiency of this Golden Core cultivation technique broke through to the Minor Success stage and even reached a proficiency of more than 53%.
Only then did the rate of proficiency increase start to slow down gradually.
Finally, it stabilized at a certain speed, where approximately 0.05% proficiency could be increased every day.
As the proficiency of the Minor Success stage increased, Su Yu could also feel slight changes in the Golden Core within his dantian.
Just like a foundation, which was being hammered by him every day, the thickness of the foundation was changing every day.
Until now.
Only a year had passed, but Su Yu had already caught a glimpse of the faint fifth pattern on the Golden Core within his Dantian.
Although it was still faint, it signifies that his inner Golden Core was evolving towards a five-turn Golden Core.
Su Yu couldn’t help but feel overjoyed by such smooth progress.
‘Estimated to take only a few more years for this Golden Core to complete its transformation.’ Su Yu silently calculated.
Afterwards, Su Yu opened the array of his cave dwelling, and went out of seclusion to pay visit to Taoist Tianyu in the fenced courtyard.
In the fenced courtyard, Taoist Tianyu was sitting next to a stone table under a Spirit Tree, frowning and deep in thought as he looked at the stones on the table.
It was not until Su Yu stood in front of him that Taoist Tianyu came back to his senses, looked up at Su Yu, and said after a while in a daze, “Oh? My disciple?”
Oh yes, I did accept a disciple.
Slapping his forehead, he had been pondering over the formation that he was all muddled up.
Su Yu: “….”
He looked at the jumbled stones on the table, his expression changed drastically as he felt dizzy and disoriented, the whole world seemed to be changing and going in reverse.
The next moment, a powerful force pulled him out of this sensation.
The scene changed rapidly, returning to reality.
Taoist Tianyu waved his hand to set up a restriction to shield the chaotic stones on the stone table, and said to Su Yu, “Be careful, this formation is too dangerous for you. You can not look at it yet.”
After a pause, as if remembering something, Taoist Tianyu’s eyes glowed and stared at Su Yu and asked, “By the way, you received the Golden Core Dao inheritance earlier. How is your cultivation? Have you started?”
Su Yu bowed respectfully and replied, “It has been rather smooth, and I have commenced my training.”
Upon hearing this, Taoist Tianyu was overjoyed and clapped his hands, laughing in delight, “Good, good, good! As expected of my disciple, to commence the Golden Core Dao, it means your talent will not end at one-turn Golden Core. You should practice well and see if you can cultivate to a four-turn Golden Core or above!”
After thinking for a while, Taoist Tianyu continued, “Since you have started the Golden Core Dao, there is no need to stay in seclusion anymore.”
“From tomorrow, I will teach you new alchemic techniques, talisman techniques and formation inheritance.”
Su Yu was of course more than willing.
After all, Taoist Tianyu is a top tier 4th order alchemist, Talisman Master, Artifact Refiner, and Array Master!
If he has time in the future, he still wants to learn the Artifact Refining Technique.
Time flew like a white horse running through a gap, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, Su Yu was reviewing the 3rd tier mid-level killing formation “Thousand Peach Array” taught by Taoist Tianyu yesterday, when a person suddenly appeared outside the Great Fool Mountain. It was Jiang Meng, the female disciple of True Monarch Gu Lan.
Jiang Meng called out to Su Yu outside the Great Fool Mountain, not daring to enter the mountain.
When she saw Su Yu’s figure appear, Jiang Meng respectfully bowed, “Greetings to Uncle Master Yu.”
Yes, Uncle Master.
Because Taoist Tianyu’s generation is pretty high, he is the uncle to the master of the house, and similarly is the uncle to True Monarch Gu Lan.
Naturally, Su Yu became the junior fellow disciple of True Monarch Gu Lan, and uncle master to Jiang Meng.
Su Yu used his mana to help Jiang Meng on her feet, saying, “No need for such formality, Xiaomeng, do you need something?”
Jiang Meng replied, “Yes, Uncle Master Qingquan asked me to find you, it’s almost five years since you started. Every five years there’s a regular task, Uncle Master Qingquan plans to do it together with you, Senior Sister Luo, and Senior Brother Shuhai.”
As she spoke, Jiang Meng giggled, “When you guys are out on a task, Senior Brother Kong and I can tag along, and go out with you guys.”
Regular task?
Su Yu pondered for a moment, turned and went back to the Great Fool Peak to bid farewell to his master, Taoist Tianyu, then went with Jiang Meng to Moon Crest Peak.
He wasn’t sure what this regular task would be.
