Chapter 538: Chapter 358: Sun Moon Flowing Juice, Elevating the Sword Pill! (Part 2)
"Thank you, Dean. It’s the disciple who was too anxious."
Master Yunyang gently shook his head, "It’s not your fault. In cultivation, one must advance bravely and diligently; if one can advance, one must. In the end, it’s because our Cyan Peak Daoist School is somewhat lacking in foundation, unable to provide you with much assistance..."
At this thought, his expression became solemn.
"Therefore, the conquest of Jiuyi Mountain must succeed!"
"I have already made an agreement with Master Cangming that the Great Demon corpse and the treasures of the Celestial Demon Pavilion would be taken by him first, while our Daoist School will take full possession of the Jiuyi Mountain Range!"
"With this mountain as our foundation, you, Tiandou, and Sword Fox will have a place to cultivate. This is a foundation for eternity, the great currents are moving, and the undercurrents are already stirring. We must take the first step, or we will suffer losses step by step..."
Master Yunyang’s voice carried a hidden urgency.
"Disciple will do my best to break the grand array of Jiuyi Mountain!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately responded.
The South Mountain Domain is indeed somewhat impoverished.
Relying solely on the Cyan Heaven Secret Realm of the Daoist School cannot sustain new Daoist Embryos.
If the Daoist School wants to advance further, it must undertake the task of conquest!
"Tiandou and Sword Fox are aware of this matter, but it’s not the right time to take large-scale action now. After June, we will gather again using the teleportation method."
"This is the operational method of the grand array of Jiuyi Mountain. You can carefully ponder over it. I also have some insights into refining Tier Four Spiritual Treasures. During this period, you should not go out. Cultivate peacefully in the Thousand Waves Sect, nourish your Sword Pill, and if you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to come to me."
Master Yunyang took out a Jade Scroll and a Token, handed them to Gu Yuan, and gave a remark.
"Yes, Dean!"
Gu Yuan responded.
"Then go and cultivate!"
With everything said and done, Master Yunyang waved his sleeve, and a Water Wave Gate appeared behind Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan performed a salute, stepped into the portal, and then disappeared into the Secret Realm.
When he reappeared, he was already back in the hall of Master Shenyi.
Master Shenyi had been standing and waiting. Upon seeing Gu Yuan’s arrival, he immediately smiled and said:
"Junior Brother, now that you have advanced to a Great Cultivator, your previous Cave Mansion hall is no longer suitable for cultivation. I have already ordered people to find a new Cave Mansion for you, please follow my Daoist."
After saying that, a little Daoist, no more than seven or eight years old, with delicate features, holding a Jade Token, came out and respectfully performed a salute to Gu Yuan.
"Then I must thank Senior Brother!"
Gu Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony, smilingly returned the salute.
The cultivation from the late stage Golden Core has qualitative changes compared to the mid-stage. Once the anomaly appears, the Thousand-Li Spirit Qi comes roaring, rolling in, with grand momentum.
This kind of cultivation posture requires the support of a Tier Three High-grade Spirit Meridian and the combination of an array to not disturb others.
Otherwise, the howling Thousand-Li Spirit Qi would forcibly strip away any ordinary cultivator’s ability to cultivate, as all the Spirit Qi would be forcibly seized.
This is also why cultivators above the Daoist Embryo level are rarely seen, seldom going out, and mostly cultivating in their own Cave Mansions and Secret Realms.
Seizing ten thousand miles, forcibly taking Spirit Qi, is too terrifying.
The Major Sect’s mountain gate spans tens of thousands of miles for a reason—without such vast territory and Spirit Meridian, how could it support top-tier cultivators?
...
...
"Ascendant, this is the Long Breath Hall!"
Gu Yuan, following the little Daoist, rode on a cloud, and before long, arrived at a secluded zephyr above a water surface.
This body of water was shrouded in mist, concealing all Divine Sense exploration, so much so that even ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivators could hardly see the scene inside.
But Gu Yuan’s Divine Sense was vast; he penetrated the mist and saw an Exquisite Jade Palace standing upon the Cyan Lotus, with the words "Long Breath" inscribed on a Golden Plaque.
"The Spirit Qi in this hall emerges from the Water Vein. Cultivating here will grant you the Spirit Mechanism of a thousand miles, without causing any anomalies, making it most suitable!"
"Everything you need has been prepared in advance; you may cultivate with peace of mind. If you have any instructions, use the Token to call for me at any time."
The little Daoist handed Gu Yuan a Jade Order, and seeing no further instructions, he took his leave and turned away.
...
Gu Yuan took a step, and his figure disappeared into the clouds. When he reappeared, he was already inside the Long Breath Hall.
The hall was elegantly decorated, with meditation cushions woven from jade threads and gold silk, luxurious yet understated, revealing the details and foundation of a Tier Four Sect in the East Mountain Realm.
The concentration of Spirit Qi in the hall had nearly reached the pinnacle of a Tier Three Spirit Meridian; the drifting Spirit Qi inside vaguely took on the forms of small deer and foals.
Gu Yuan briefly inspected it and then sat down on the meditation cushion, calming his Heart and Spirit to begin cultivating.
"Boom!"
In an instant, ethereal Thunder Mist, accompanied by rolling Thunder, emerged behind Gu Yuan, and the Spirit Qi in the hall surged like a tidal wave, madly sweeping and being absorbed into his body.
Moreover, amidst the rolling Thunder Mist, one could vaguely see a Thunder True Dragon swimming, its mouth slightly open, devouring everything.
The Spirit Qi in the hall was instantaneously absorbed entirely, but fortunately, beneath the palace, there seemed to be an endless store of Spiritual Power, sweeping in like sea waves and being absorbed by Gu Yuan.
This cultivation session lasted ten days.
After ten days, Gu Yuan opened his eyes, revealing a thoughtful look.
"With my current qualification of Root Bone and the enhancement of anomalies, as long as there’s no shortage of Spirit Qi, generating ten strands of Gold-Attribute Mana a year is within reach. Compared to ordinary Golden Core cultivators, I can indeed be called a genius..."
He currently possessed two thousand eight hundred strands of Gold-Attribute Mana, only twelve hundred strands away from reaching the Golden Core Peak.
If he relied solely on his own cultivation, it would take only a hundred and twenty years to reach the Golden Core Peak.
This speed is already very fast.
But in the path of cultivation, as long as it doesn’t harm the foundation, no one wouldn’t want to be faster.
