Chapter 470 - 247: Evolving to the Tenth Level of Golden Core_1

Chapter 470: Chapter 247: Evolving to the Tenth Level of Golden Core_1

After constructing three types of flying swords, Lin Yi continued to focus on his cultivation. He had previously planned to achieve the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of one hundred and fifty. Now, he was over one hundred and ten years old, leaving him with less than forty years to achieve his goal.

To qualify for this breakthrough, he still had a long way to go. First, he needed to enhance his cultivation to complete Nine Levels, and then create the tenth level realm with the Creation Method. Afterwards, he must raise his cultivation to the Great Perfection of Tenth Layer before performing the final breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Although over thirty years seemed like a long time, it was but an instant for Golden Core Cultivators.

Based on his current progress, he might exceed his initial planned timeline. However, such a delay would only be a decade or so, a time not considered long.

His earlier assertion that he might possibly achieve Nascent Soul earlier than Master Golden Sword could become a reality.

During swordsmanship instruction, he had used the Eye of Emptiness to observe the detailed condition within Master Golden Sword’s Dantian. Although Dantian’s Golden Core had undergone some changes, it was still some way off from reaching Nascent Soul.

If everything went smoothly, he estimated he could reach the Nascent Soul Realm in sixty to eighty years.

Information from outside suggested that Master Golden Sword was less than three hundred years old, only about forty to fifty years older than Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng.

Achieving the Nascent Soul Realm before turning four hundred in the Cultivation World was considered an astonishing achievement. Many Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Ten Major Sects reached the Nascent Soul Realm only after four hundred years. They had just about six hundred years left in their lifespan to cultivate to the Deification Realm.

That’s why after achieving the Nascent Soul Realm, most Golden Core Real People in major sects secluded themselves for cultivation, no longer concerned with worldly affairs.

Because time is life, they had to cultivate unceasingly to have a chance of reaching the Deification Realm before their lifespan ran out. Only then would they qualify for ascending to the Upper Realm and acquire a lifespan of two thousand years.

The Pill Immortal Master, as a top genius among cultivators and a master of both Alchemy Dao and formation, could reach the Nascent Soul Realm around the age of three hundred, even after spending a vast amount of time on researching Alchemy Dao and formation.

Lin Yi believed that given Master Golden Sword’s understanding, if he cultivated for enough time, he could achieve the Nascent Soul Realm around the age of three hundred too. However, Master Golden Sword was tied down by affairs of the Liu Yun Sect.

As the strongest cultivator below the Nascent Soul Realm in the Heng Yuan Cultivation World, Master Golden Sword had spent a lot of time protecting the sect and fighting against enemies, thus reducing his personal cultivation time.

In other words, without Master Golden Sword, there wouldn’t be today’s peace in the Liu Yun Sect. That’s why Sect Master Green Jade Zen Ren valued him so much.

Looking at the current situation, if he did not hide his cultivation level, reaching Nascent Soul at less than two hundred years of age would likely shock even the Upper Realm. He would inevitably draw much attention, with many trying to uncover the secrets within him.

While cultivating, Lin Yi also nourished his three elemental flying swords. Although the golden flying sword was the first to be built, the Wind Thunder Flying Sword increased in power much faster.

After all, wind and thunder were the elements he first mastered. With the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind and the Thunder Spell, he had introduced and refined these two elements within his body.

Regarding the fire element technique he had first learned, it simply used spiritual power to release the corresponding elements; it did not introduce fire into the body.

Additionally, from witnessing White Painting’s Crossing Tribulation, he understood many thunder laws. He even absorbed a minor tribulation thunder which gradually merged with the thunder element inside his Golden Core over time.

The merging brought a mysterious aura to the thunder element within his Golden Core. It was as profound as a heavenly secret, inscrutable.

During his cultivation, Lin Yi had the Pill Immortal Master increase his instruction time to accelerate his attainment of cultivation levels.

Benefiting greatly from his [Scholar]title, he saw that his bond with the Pill Immortal Master had deepened under the effect of the Eye of Emptiness.

From the perspective of karma, the benefits gained now might be repaid in some way in the future.

Even if karma did not exist, if his cultivation surpassed that of the Pill Immortal Master in the future, he would undoubtedly offer continuous help.

Five years later, Lin Yi’s cultivation reached the Ninth Level of Golden Core. Under the hiding effect of his “Survivor” title, his displayed cultivation level was the Great Perfection of the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment.

Due to the uniqueness of the Creation Method, the hidden effect of his title could not reveal the Tenth Level of cultivation.

At this time, combined with the Concealing Breath Technique, the cultivators of the Ninth Golden Core Level could no longer see through his actual cultivation level.

However, Lin Yi did not intend to leave the Secret Realm and continued to cultivate in seclusion. As he had predicted, the cultivation points gained from the [Scholar]title dropped from 3 points to 2 points.

Thus, after another six years, his cultivation reached the Great Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Golden Dan.

Only then did he leave the Secret Realm and return to the Liu Yun Sect, where he showed off his Great Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment. After exchanging experiences with his fellow cultivator brothers and sisters, he received a bunch of encouragement and pills as rewards.

Zhou Yun Feng gave him two Supreme-grade Gold Coagulation Pills, and Golden Core Real Person also specially summoned him over, giving him some pointers on breaking through the Golden Core Realm. At the same time, he also handed over three Supreme-grade Gold Coagulation Pills, advising him not to rush his breakthrough, but to comprehend slowly and make progress gradually.
