Chapter 544: 166 Seven Turns Golden Core, Can Still Live for a Thousand Years_2
Upon finishing his daily practice, Su Yu descended from the jade bed and approached a jade platform. Picking up a talisman brush, he calmly focused his mind for a moment and then prepared the talisman ink. He could then take out the talisman paper and commence the drawing of talismans, hence refining the proficiency of summoning the third order talismans.
Several hours later, Su Yu ceased drawing talismans.
Meanwhile, he recovered his mana at one side and nourished the ancient beast egg and the mystical seed with his own rich spiritual energy.
After feeding these two things, Su Yu exited the cave abode, came out of seclusion, and shared dinner with Yu Ke’er, Luo Qianyu, Ma Tianling, and others.
Time passed day after day.
Almost two years later.
On that day.
In a cave dwelling at the top of the Azure Moon Peak.
When Su Yu consumed a drop of the third-stage high-quality spiritual liquid and began practicing the “Five Elements Method,” the surrounding spiritual energy rushed in from all directions, creating a tide of spiritual energy and forming a faint spiritual fog around him in just a moment.
The vast energy from nature was devoured by Su Yu. After it had circulated throughout his body using the “Five Elements Method,” it condensed into one strand after another of vigorous core formation power, converging in his dantian, and fusing into the Golden Core, which was radiating a dazzling golden immortal light.
Time passed bit by bit as Su Yu focused on practicing.
About half an hour later.
The proficiency panel displayed the progression of the “Five Elements Method.” Gradually, its proficiency at the Core Formation Realm Level Six was approaching 99.99%.
Almost an hour passed.
“Buzz!”
At the moment when strands of “Five Elements” Mana converged into the near-limit Golden Core, the Golden Core suddenly burst forth with dazzling immortal light, as though the quantitative change had caused a qualitative change. The Golden Core, which had expanded after integrating a vast amount of “Five Elements” energy, seemed to collapse in that very moment as one strand after another of “Five Elements” Mana transformed.
The cultivation aura on Su Yu’s body, initially at the Core Formation Realm Level Six, naturally advanced to Core Formation Realm Level Seven at this moment.
As if the bottleneck of a minor realm didn’t exist for Su Yu, the transition from the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm to the late-stage was so smooth and natural. His cultivation aura didn’t show any fluctuation or obstacle but accomplished the transformation in an instant.
At the moment when Su Yu broke through in his cultivation, the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Dao power descended and fused into Su Yu’s Golden Core.
At that moment, the seventh Golden Core meridian, which had previously seemed stagnant, quietly completed its transformation.
When Su Yu’s Golden Core Mana collapsed and transformed, achieving a breakthrough from the Core Formation Realm Level Six to Level Seven, his Golden Core also accomplished its transformation from the Six Circulations Golden Core to the Seven Circulations Golden Core.
Buzz!
The moment the seventh meridian solidified, Su Yu’s surrounding Heaven and Earth Five Elements Dao seemed to undergo a change.
One strand after another of Heaven and Earth Five Elements Dao power emerged.
It formed an invisible and intangible Five Elements Dao domain around Su Yu’s body.
Although this domain was still small and wasn’t stable, appearing somewhat illusory as if it could dissipate at any moment.
But!
It was a domain!
Looking at what could be described as a ‘miniature’ Nascent Soul True Monarch’s Five Elements Domain, Su Yu felt a tremor in his heart, “With the Seven Revolutions Golden Core, can I already gather the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Dao power and form a domain?”
“Then, if I can reach the Nine Revolutions Golden Core, wouldn’t this domain be able to compete with Nascent Soul True Monarchs?”
He inhaled lightly.
The gap between the Core Formation Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm was like a heavenly chasm, a world of difference.
Back in the Phoenix Fairy Valley, both Fairy Liu Xu of Dalu Palace and True Monarch Gu Lan faced the Core Formation Realm Level Nine Cultivators from the Nine Souls Magic Ridge, Taixu Immortal Alliance, and Phoenix Fall Mansion.
Both were able to wipe them out casually.
With a faint wave, Chex Plume of Taixu Immortal Alliance was flung away like an ant, suffering a heavy injury and was nearly left half-dead.
There was no chance to fight back at all.
Aside from the gap in Mana, the key difference lay in the power of the domain.
The Core Formation Realm first touched upon the power of nature, and under the action of the divine sense of a True Man in the Core Formation Realm, it could gather the power of nature to form a divine pressure. For those in the Foundation Establishment Realm, this was a dimensional suppression.
The Nascent Soul Realm went a step further in manipulating the power of nature. It could gather Heaven and Earth Dao’s power to form a personal domain.
The difference between the divine pressure of the Core Formation Realm and the domain is like a baby compared to a giant.
Now.
As the Golden Core evolved into the Seven Circulations Golden Core, strands of Five Elements Dao power converged around Su Yu, gradually forming a Five Elements Domain similar to a miniature version around him.
Su Yu truly felt the extraordinary power of this force firsthand.
Within the range of his Dao Realm, his own mana seemed limitless.
In a moment’s thought, every spell he had learned in the past could manifest the phenomena of the five elements of heaven and earth.
“Omm!”
The Wood Vine Technique was executed, and the vines, each imitating as though holding up the sky, manifested. But in the next moment, these vines instantly transformed into sharp wooden spiritual spears, covering the entire sky, as if drowning the whole cave dwelling.
“Boom!”
In the next instant, these all-pervading wooden spiritual spears turned into sky-burning flames.
Then, under his control, the Dao Realm turned into half a celestial, heavy water flood dragon and half a nirvana flame phoenix, forming a swirling water-fire Dao Realm.
In the end…
With one thought from Su Yu, the Dao Realm around him manifested the five elements: an extraordinary spirit plant standing upright, a fire phoenix sounding between heaven and earth, a thick earthly land, a daylight water flood dragon spinning, and a small Geng metal sword materialising between heaven and earth.
Looking at these five elements phenomena, he pointed towards the front.
The next moment…
The extraordinary spirit plant, which seemed to hold up the sky, extended a branch and touched the defensive array barrier of the cave dwelling.
“Thump!”
That defensive barrier, which could withstand the mana attacks of a ninth level True Man of the Core Formation Realm, under the attack of that single branch, turned fragile like tofu, and was effortlessly pierced through, creating a gap.
Seeing this scene, Su Yu drew a small breath, inwardly astonished: “Within the Dao Realm, the power of these Five Elements spells almost equals the divine spells!”
He feels that if an ordinary ninth level True Man of the Core Formation Realm stands before him, like the once head of the Chex Plume association…
With his seventh level Cultivation of the Golden Core, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant, right?
After attempting for a long time in the cave dwelling, when he truly felt the changes in his strength, Su Yu began to operate the power of Void, using the Immortal Text fragment in his Dantian to hide his cultivation aura.
After a while, Su Yu’s aura became just like before when he was at the fourth level of Core Formation Realm, showing no significant changes at all.
His consciousness turned to the proficiency panel.
[Cultivation Level: Seventh level of Core Formation.]
[Lifespan: 192/1220 years.]
[Cultivation Techniques: Five Elements Method (7th level of Core Formation, proficiency 0.01%), Celestial Body Refinement Technique (3rd level, proficiency 86.44%), Blood Whale Devour Moon Technique (3rd level, proficiency 90%), Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law (mastered, proficiency 72.96%)….Golden Cicada Technique (4th level, proficiency 5.16%).]
[Spells: Wood Vine Technique (mastered)…Tai Chi Escape Technique (mastered), Cicada Pupa (beginner, proficiency 61.18%), Beheading Heaven Spell (partially mastered, proficiency 11.97%).]
“My lifespan has increased by sixty years,” Su Yu exhaled lightly.
Even though his life is nearing two hundred years, overall, his remaining lifespan has increased considerably.
And it’s already over a thousand years!
If the effects of the Cicada Pupa, a time-related technique, are included, he might be able to live more than thirteen hundred years, as long as he doesn’t act recklessly.
Thinking about this, Su Yu thought of Yu Qianqing, Su Qi, Su Rui’an and others.
The cultivation of Yu Qianqing, Su Qi, Su Rui’an, Lan Xi, Lan Gong, and Fairy Zhiyan of the Spirit Plant masters were all stuck at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Perhaps Su Qi and Su Rui’an still had a chance to achieve the pseudo-Dan Realm with the help of Haotian Dan.
But Yu Qianqing, Lan Xi, Lan Gong and others could not reach the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Thus, perhaps in a few years, Yu Qianqing and others might reach their lifespan limit and turn into dust, becoming just memories.
Starting from his elders like Su Chang and Su Yun, in the future, as his cultivation deepens, the number of people he would have to say goodbye to would definitely increase.
“Hoo.”
Su Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the sudden feeling of loneliness in his heart, and thought to himself: “In the everlasting path of Immortality, who knows who will accompany me when I reach the end, when I become an Immortal?”
Be it relatives, friends or partners.
If someone can accompany to the end, that would be meaningful.
If at the end, he is left alone, with nothing but his cultivation, without any emotions or desires, what’s the point of cultivating to become an immortal?
A moment later…
Su Yu shook off his thoughts and continued with his daily cultivation.
When he finished practicing each cultivation technique, he left the cave dwelling early, returned to the courtyard halfway up the mountain, accompanied Yu Ke’er and others, even cooked when he was in a good mood, and drank a little wine in the evening to celebrate his breakthrough in cultivation.
At the same time, Su Yu made a decision, he would seek a righteous dual cultivation method to cultivate, perhaps in this way, Yu Ke’er could upgrade her cultivation.
If she can reach the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm, her lifespan would be at least five hundred years, which is not little.
