Chapter 475: Golden Seal Heaven Governing Art Perfection!
Chapter 475: Golden Seal Heaven Governing Art: Max Level!
Red Leaf Valley, Jiang Chen’s home.
Long Ao and Pei Mo had already taken their seats, and the three of them had been waiting for some time.
Because it was quite a distance from the Rain Pavilion to the Spirit Farm, not to mention they had changed their route midway, it was bound to delay them slightly.
For Pei Mo, having already waited over ten years, he did not mind waiting a little longer.
“Junior Brother Jiang, Pei Mo is about to reach the Golden Core realm. Aren’t you going to prepare?”
“I am only at late Foundation Establishment. What is the rush?”
“With Junior Brother Jiang’s talent and aptitude, you will definitely condense a Golden Core before fifty!”
“We are all on the same side here. Let us help each other out and work hard together when the time comes.”
“Then I will thank both Senior Brothers in advance!”The three of them chatted casually while sipping tea.
Chen Tian broke through to Earth-grade Golden Core before thirty, making him the fastest among their group.
Long Ao followed closely behind, breaking through to Earth-grade Golden Core two years ago.
Now, including Jiang Chen, people like Chen Bo, Wang Ze, Tie Zhu, Tie Xin, Jin Fugui, Mo Yu, and the others were all still at Foundation Establishment.
However, they were either at Foundation Establishment Perfection or late Foundation Establishment.
Only a few were still lingering at early or mid Foundation Establishment, especially Jin Fugui.
But Pei Mo was different. His innate talent, comprehension, and aptitude were all excellent.
Originally, he was the one who should have broken through to Golden Core the fastest.
Unfortunately, he was limited by his conflicting Spirit Roots, which dragged down his cultivation speed.
Now, watching those around him reach Golden Core, and even latecomers catching up…
To say he was not anxious in his heart would be impossible.
All those years in the Rust Empire, constantly hunting Demon Beasts, was it not all to gather resources for his breakthrough to Golden Core?
Therefore, after returning this time, he absolutely would not leave until he reached the Golden Core realm.
After a while longer, Jiang Chen sensed someone at the entrance and immediately rose to meet them.
Soon, he led Ruo Qunshuang inside.
Long Ao and Pei Mo quickly stood up: “Junior Sister Ruo!”
Ruo Qunshuang had met Long Ao before; the two were somewhat familiar.
Pei Mo had been in the field all this time and rarely returned, so he was a complete stranger to her.
Jiang Chen took out the Top-Grade grapes he had grown and offered them: “Sister Shuang, let us talk while you eat.”
Ruo Qunshuang hesitated slightly. After all, accepting food made it hard to refuse requests, and taking gifts bound one’s hands.
Although she and Jiang Chen had a very good relationship and often exchanged gifts privately.
Yet this time there were two extra people, and they also had designs on the Nine Curves Sect.
Thus, setting aside eating, just coming here was already giving them face.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled: “Take some yourself if you want to eat.”
Ruo Qunshuang did not want to waste time and immediately looked at the two opposite her: “Senior Brothers, what exactly do you need from me?”
Compared to when she first arrived at the Cloud Sea Sect, she had grown.
Before, around outsiders—especially those she did not know—she simply would not dare to speak.
After being teased by Jiang Chen several times, which were actually gentle reminders, she gradually changed.
Pei Mo was just about to speak: “I…”
Long Ao waved his hand: “You are not good with words. Let me do it.”
Immediately, he explained Pei Mo’s situation.
Upon hearing that going to the Nine Curves Sect was to find a treasure to Awaken a Water Spirit Root, Ruo Qunshuang actually sighed in relief.
At least it indicated these two had not discovered the Nine Curves Treasure Vault left behind by her father.
Actually, she had always wanted to go back to pay respects to her father, elders, and acquaintances. However, due to the extreme danger the Polluted Spirit Water posed to Water Spirit Root cultivators, she had not taken action.
Now, if she could act as a guide for these two while returning, it seemed like a good choice. At the very least, it would be safe.
After all, Long Ao alone had reached the Earth-grade Golden Core realm.
As for Pei Mo, with his bald head and a body covered in scars, he looked utterly fierce and not to be trifled with.
Going out with these two brought a complete sense of security.
Thus, matters progressed far more smoothly than Jiang Chen had imagined.
Especially as they chatted, Ruo Qunshuang could not control her hands and began plucking the Top-Grade grapes.
When the time was right, Long Ao, Pei Mo, and Ruo Qunshuang stood up.
Pei Mo and Ruo Qunshuang walked out first.
Staying behind, Long Ao spoke to Jiang Chen privately: “Junior Brother Jiang, as the intermediary for this matter, you will definitely receive benefits afterward.”
Jiang Chen smiled: “I did not help for the sake of benefits.”
If Pei Mo had heard this, he might have just left it at that.
However, Long Ao was different. He immediately waved his hand: “One thing is one thing, and another is another. If there are benefits, we definitely cannot forget our own people.”
Seeing he truly could not decline, Jiang Chen nodded: “Alright, then I will wait for you to return with a bountiful harvest.”
Before leaving, Long Ao chuckled: “Give me some more milk wine.”
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes: “I knew you stayed behind for another reason.”
…
…
Half a month later, Jiang Chen finally learned the Golden Seal Heaven Governing Art.
Golden Seal Heaven Governing Art: First Layer
Effect 1: Perception range for Metal Spiritual Qi increased to 100 Zhang.
Effect 2: Spells carry a trace of Geng Metal aura.
Consume 30 years of Lifespan to raise the Golden Seal Heaven Governing Art to max level?
Because it was a complete Earth-grade technique, it did not need repairing.
Moreover, the Lifespan consumed by cultivation arts and the Lifespan consumed by secondary skills were completely different. The former almost always cost less than a hundred years, rarely even exceeding fifty, while the latter were completely different, with each starting at over a hundred years.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen lacked Lifespan the least right now, so he decisively chose: “Yes.”
Instantly, his entire person entered a state of Epiphany.
Because the time required was not much, it did not last too long.
After a while, the attribute panel changed.
Remaining Lifespan: 19,515 years
Golden Seal Heaven Governing Art: Max Level
Effect 1: Can mobilize Metal Spiritual Qi within a radius of a hundred Li.
Effect 2: Metal Magic Power consumption reduced by 80%.
Effect 3: Geng Metal Law blessing, cultivation speed +80%.
Effect 4: Metal spells blessed by Geng Metal Law, power +50%.
Effect 5: Simultaneously mobilize Metal and Earth Spiritual Qi to form Primordial Chaos Divine Light.
Effect 6: Upon touching any metal or mineral in the world, can discern its material, grade, and attributes.
Effect 7: Resistance to Inner Demons and soul attacks +60%.
Special Effect 1: Condense Golden Seal runes to form a Geng Metal Imperial Decree in front. Metal Spiritual Qi will automatically form Judgment Metal Blades and lock onto Wood Spirit Root cultivators of the same realm.
Special Effect 2: Primordial Chaos Divine Light can transform into Primordial Chaos Divine Light Escape, lasting for the time of one incense stick. Can penetrate any metal, earth, or stone obstacles. Movement speed 50 Zhang per breath.
Special Effect 3: When using Divine Sense, Earth Veins will automatically transmit their layout map, guiding to the nearest mineral vein.
Special Effect 4: If the physical body Perishes, the Golden Core will automatically detach, escape into the Earth Vein core, and enter a dormant state. As long as the Earth Vein is not destroyed and the Golden Core is not damaged, it can slowly absorb Spiritual Qi to repair itself during dormancy and eventually revive.
After reading all the effects, Jiang Chen could not help but take a deep breath: “This art is definitely not the original version. It includes both Metal Spirit Root content and added Earth Spirit Root content. It is equivalent to Jin Xuanzi making his own adaptations based on the original foundation.”
Whether transforming into the Primordial Chaos Divine Light or the Primordial Chaos Divine Light Escape.
Or even condensing Golden Seal runes to form a Geng Metal Imperial Decree.
Each effect was quite powerful on its own, let alone having them all pieced together.
However, no matter how powerful, in the end, it still had to be integrated into the Five Elements Art, becoming one of its pieces of firewood!
