Chapter 108: Golden Core Perfection!
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
The consciousness of the Heavenly Path, urged by Su Yang, obediently began to mobilize the world’s power.
A special source of power, under his guidance, started gathering from all over the world and infused into Su Yang’s body.
Even though the Heavenly Path’s consciousness had only recovered to seventy percent of its strength, it still didn’t dare to act arrogantly in front of Su Yang.
Even if the Heavenly Path’s consciousness were to fully recover, it wouldn’t dare to challenge Su Yang.
Only those who had witnessed Su Yang’s terrifying power by his side knew what true despair was.
This didn’t just apply to their strength but also their rate of improvement.
Because they had witnessed Su Yang’s rise, the Heavenly Path’s consciousness wanted to attach itself to Su Yang.
The Heavenly Path’s consciousness represented the entire world, and now that it was only at seventy percent of its former strength, it meant that thirty percent of the world’s essence had been absorbed by the Celestial Sect.
Su Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling his physical qualities rapidly strengthening.
At the same time, he contemplated a question.
To enhance his world, considering the current situation, he would need to find resources in other worlds.
The first step was to locate the existence of other worlds.
Normally, he wouldn’t interfere with planets inhabited by intelligent life.
He would only plunder planets without intelligent life.
But at the moment, he knew nothing about the conditions in the universe.
Perhaps obtaining resources within the universe didn’t necessarily require traveling to other planets.
Could there be spiritual objects in the universe?
All decisions were made based on the circumstances at hand.
Right now, what he needed to consider was how to find other planets.
After obtaining a Golden Core level flying ship, Su Yang understood why Golden Core level flying ships could navigate the universe. These vessels could convert void energy into spiritual energy, ensuring that cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage wouldn’t die while traveling in space.
However, navigating the universe was still challenging, and the Celestial Sect only used Golden Core level flying ships out of necessity.
Su Yang, on the other hand, had a way to avoid some of the problems. Combining his knowledge from the interface, he realized he could create a group of followers. Su Yang would then infuse his Sword Intent into them and have them pilot Golden Core level flying ships to explore the universe. Once they found planets, Su Yang could use his Sword Intent to activate teleportation arrays on those planets, allowing cultivators from Daxia to explore, find spiritual objects, and bring them back to enhance their world.
However, to create a planet teleportation array with his Sword Intent, he needed his Sword Intent to reach level 500, which was something he could only think about for now.
While contemplating this, the Heavenly Path’s consciousness completed its source tempering on him. Not only had it improved his strength, but it also eliminated some minor defects in his body. However, at this point, these improvements all seemed the same to him. After all, using source tempering, the entire process was quick, taking only half an hour.
Su Yang moved around a bit and felt that, at this moment, his body was stronger than ever before. With a complete Golden Core physique, even his physical body alone was enough to defeat Tao Qing.
At his current level, Su Yang was curious about how fast he could swing his sword. However, when he attempted it, something felt off.
With his current Golden Core level physique, he could only swing thirty thousand swords in an hour?
When he was at the Grandmaster level, he could already swing twenty thousand swords in an hour.
Going from Grandmaster to Golden Core level had at least increased his sword swings by ten thousand, right?
Su Yang furrowed his brows and asked the Heavenly Path, “Why is it that my physique has reached Golden Core perfection, but I can only swing one thousand more swords than when I was a Grandmaster? Do you know the reason for this?”
If Su Yang hadn’t scanned his own physique and confirmed that it had reached level 49, he would have suspected that the Heavenly Path had given him a fake improvement.
The Heavenly Path’s consciousness explained, “Speed has a critical point at every stage. Only by breaking through this critical point can you exceed the limits and increase your speed. The further you go, the more frequent these critical points appear, and breaking them becomes more difficult.”
“For example, the first critical point for your sword swings might be at 3,600 swords per hour, the second at 7,200 swords per hour, the third at 8,000 swords per hour, the fourth at 8,500 swords per hour, the fifth at 8,900 swords per hour, and so on.”
“The further you go, the more frequent these critical points appear, and you’ll need more power to break them.”
“Perhaps, as a Sword Immortal, your physique improved too quickly, and you didn’t notice these limitations.”
Su Yang suddenly realized that he had experienced this feeling before, but it hadn’t been as obvious as it was now, leaving him feeling somewhat out of
sync.
Alright.
Upon careful consideration, he acknowledged that at this stage, his physique had indeed improved rapidly.
The interface also provided a response, indicating that once he reached level 100, there would be new changes in Sword Intent proficiency, but he didn’t know how it would change.
With the Celestial Sect’s affairs resolved, Su Yang took out the Tianxuan Token.
Su Yang: “Your Majesty, I have resolved the Celestial Sect. Next, I plan to deal with the evil spirits in Heilin Province.”
Emperor Xia: “Hmm… alright.”
In the palace, Emperor Xia’s mind was in turmoil.
He didn’t know if all of this was true or not.
His inner voice told him that it was all true.
Regardless, Su Yang’s words couldn’t be concealed, and all he needed to do was investigate to easily find out the truth.
“Send word to Tianzhou that the preparation of one hundred thousand citizens can be canceled…”
“Also, inform Heilin Province that the Great Xia Sword Immortal is on his way to help them deal with the evil spirits, and they should cooperate fully.”
Thinking back to a short time ago when the Celestial Sect’s people were demanding things from him, now the entire Celestial Sect had disappeared.
It all felt incredibly surreal.
In just a few breaths, Su Yang had returned from Tianzhou to Qingzhou.
Covering tens of thousands of miles in a mere blink of an eye.
This time, after returning to Qingzhou, it was time to leave.
Back at the Martial Suppression Division, Su Yang found Gu Xiu and handed him a large bag of storage equipment.
Gu Xiu, used to receiving such items, took it without any surprise.
“Old Gu, get ready. I’m going to elevate your cultivation.”
“Hmm? Alright!”
Gu Xiu was initially composed, but as soon as he heard Su Yang’s words, he became anything but composed.
Elevate his cultivation? Su Yang naturally intended to do so. Gu Xiu had followed him for a long time, handling various tasks, and it had become quite convenient for him.
His cultivation had to progress, or else he’d be left behind. This was especially true for his realm; he couldn’t afford to stay stagnant.
Just as the regular world’s source had finished enhancing his physique, Su Yang had over ten thousand points left, which he could use to elevate Gu Xiu to the Golden Core perfection realm.
The Heavenly Path’s consciousness was somewhat reluctant.
After all, this was related to his world’s advancement.
But since it was Su Yang’s command, it had no choice but to comply, even if reluctantly.
“Old Gu, what elemental affinity would you like for your spiritual roots?”
“Can I choose that?”
“Why not?”
Gu Xiu was greatly shocked and thought for a moment before saying, “Master, I’ve comprehended Wind-attribute Sword Intent. Can I have Wind-attribute spiritual roots?”
Su Yang smiled and said, “You have good taste. No problem.”
Creating regular Five Elements spiritual roots only required a hundred points of the regular world’s source, but for Wind-attribute spiritual roots, a unique attribute, it required a thousand points.
Nevertheless, it was still manageable.
Next, Su Yang created the spiritual roots and infused the source to elevate Gu Xiu’s cultivation.
In less than half an hour, everything was done.
Su Yang had to admit that, from this perspective, the Heavenly Path was quite useful.
Gu Xiu’s cultivation had reached the Golden Core perfection realm, and his lifespan had increased by a thousand years.
Visually, Gu Xiu didn’t undergo significant changes in his appearance, but his lifespan had undoubtedly increased.
After completing the elevation, Su Yang took out a Golden Core level flying ship.
“Old Gu, you’re leaving for Heilin Province. Also, use this new Golden Core level ship.”
“Understood.”
Feeling the new power within him, Gu Xiu was also excited, and he had to calm himself down.
He needed to stay composed.
He boarded the new flying ship, and the two of them departed from Qingzhou, heading towards Heilin Province.
The speed was incredible; they disappeared from view with just a blink of an
eye.
In Qingzhou, officials like Zhu Shouwu watched in silence.
In the end, they all deeply bowed towards the direction Su Yang had departed in..
