Golden Core Great Perfection
Purple Moon Mountain, Artifact Refining Valley!
Heat waves rolled in the air, the air itself distorted slightly from the intense heat, and hundreds of buildings stood side by side, connected by the massive ignition Formation set up by the Yang Household.
At the heart of the Formation, the three-zhang-tall Myriad Fires Furnace stood silently, flames surging from it and flowing along the Formation's pathways to each of the "Artifact Refining rooms."
Based on the different levels of flame, the Yang Household's Artifact Refining rooms can be divided into four major levels. "A, B, C, and D".
Each major level can be further subdivided into four minor levels: "Superior," "medium," "inferior," and "extreme."
For example, a low-grade Artifact Refining room corresponds to First-Tier Low-Grade Artifact Refining Master, a high-rank Artifact Refining room corresponds to Third-Tier Upper-Grade Artifact Refining Master, and so on.
The Contribution Points required to use the Artifact Refining rooms vary depending on their level.
Of course, in order to promote the rapid development of the Lineage, the Yang Household has only symbolically collected some Contribution Points in recent years, which can be regarded as one of the benefits for the clan members.
Because of the Lineage's abundant resources, the various benefits and treatments enjoyed by Yang Household Members would make members of other forces green with envy, including those at the Province-Level Power.
After all, the Yang Household's resource reserves are already comparable to some weak Province-Level Power, but the Lineage only has a mere four thousand members.
Normal Province-Level Power have tens of thousands of disciples under their command, so it's easy to imagine how privileged the Yang Household Members were, given the scarcity of monks and the abundance of resources.
Led by Yang Yujin, the master of the Artifact Refining Hall, Yang Tianyou arrived in front of the Myriad Fires Furnace.
The Fire God Dao Soldier had been waiting there for some time, his expression calm. His Wisdom was much higher than that of the Dragon Tortoise Dao Soldier, equivalent to that of an ordinary adult, but his personality was extremely cold, as was that of the Water God Dao Soldier.
This is the biggest difference between them and the Guardian Deity General, whose personalities are extremely complex and no different from ordinary people. This is also one of the characteristics of Sixth-Tier Dao Soldiers.
The Fire God Dao Soldier is in charge of controlling the Myriad Fires Furnace, a Fifth-Tier Supreme-Grade Law Treasure that only cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Late Stage or above can perfectly master.
"Nineteenth Uncle, are you really going to enter the Myriad Fires Furnace to cultivate?" Yang Yujin asked with a frown. As the master of the Artifact Refining Hall, no one knew better than him how high the temperature of the flames in the Myriad Fires Furnace was.
Let alone Golden Core Cultivator, even a Spirit Transformation cultivator would not last long before turning into ashes if they entered it.
Even with the Fire God Dao Soldiers in control, it is still extremely dangerous. One wrong move and you could be severely injured or even die on the spot.
As the pillar of the Lineage, Yang Tianyou's Spell Cultivator cannot but worry Yang Yujin.
"Hehe, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, you won't die!" Yang Tianyou patted his shoulder, then signaled the Fire God Dao Soldier to open the Myriad Fires Furnace.
The latter nodded slightly, then raised his hand and opened the lid of the Myriad Fires Furnace.
Call!!
Without the lid to block it, surging flames poured out of the Myriad Fires Furnace, fire snakes roared silently, and a terrifying and scorching aura spread out.
Seeing this, Yang Yujin became even more worried, but Yang Tianyou remained calm and leaped into the Myriad Fires Furnace.
Laugh!!
Flames engulfed his body, and excruciating pain coursed through every part of him. Yang Tianyou's face contorted in agony, yet he gritted his teeth, using the flames to aid in refining the Star Liquid.
A moment later, a hint of joy flashed across Yang Tianyou's face.
It works!
Under the scorching heat of the Myriad Fires Furnace, the refining speed of the Star Liquid more than doubled.
At this rate, if he cultivates for two hours every day in the Myriad Fires Furnace, he will be able to completely refine all the Star Liquid in less than five years.
Bang!
Just as Yang Tianyou's thoughts were drifting, a charred wound suddenly appeared on his left arm.
Yang Tianyou remained calm, and the White Emperor Indestructible Body activated automatically, instantly healing the wound.
His confidence in undergoing the tempering of the Myriad Fires Furnace stemmed primarily from his own regenerative abilities; otherwise, why would he have taken the risk?
Yang Yujin observed Yang Tianyou outside the Myriad Fires Furnace for several hours. After seeing that Yang Tianyou was indeed able to withstand the power of the Myriad Fires Furnace and cultivate safely inside, he felt relieved and left the place.
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, amidst the Myriad Fires Furnace, Yang Tianyou stood solemnly with his five hearts facing the sky, Star Spirit Mark appeared on his skin.
Brush!!
Two beams of light shot out, the lid of the Myriad Fires Furnace opened, and Yang Tianyou, completely naked, flew out from it.
Upon landing, he was fully dressed, wearing a dark Purple Robes hand-sewn by his wife, Yunhua, which made him appear even more handsome and distinguished.
"I've finally refined all the Star Liquid. My perception of the Power of the Stars should have increased by about 60-70% now." Yang Tianyou clenched his right hand and muttered to himself.
"Not only that, after refining the Star Fragments, my cultivation level successfully advanced to the Golden Core Great Perfection, and the White Emperor Indestructible Body also automatically upgraded to the Second Heaven Divine Ability."
Although it's only the beginner level, my recovery ability has doubled. Combined with the Constellation Disk, even Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator would find it extremely difficult to kill me.
Feeling the surge in both his potential and strength, Yang Tianyou laughed loudly, then vanished from the Artifact Refining Valley in a flash.
Escape Light pierced the sky and landed at Great White Residence.
Inside the courtyard, Yunhua and the Old Ancestor were talking, and the words "Purple Moon Dharma Assembly" could be faintly heard.
In total, the Purple Moon Dharma Assembly place once every sixty years, is coming again.
Yang Tianyou couldn't help but sigh; the higher one's cultivation level, the more blurred one's sense of time becomes.
He didn't realize how much time had passed, but unexpectedly, the Lineage was about to hold the second Purple Moon Dharma Assembly.
"husband, you've broken through to the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm?" Yunhua asked, her voice filled with surprise.
Upon hearing this, Yang Haoyu also looked over with a joyful expression.
Breaking through to the Golden Core Perfection stage means that one can start striving for the Nascent Soul Realm. Seeing that the Lineage is about to add another Nascent Soul Cultivator, Yang Haoyu, as the Old Ancestor, is naturally very happy.
Yang Tianyou nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips, and sat down beside his wife.
"After refining the Star Fragments, your cultivation will automatically break through," he said softly. Then, looking at Yang Haoyu, he smiled and said, "Grandson, judging from your Old Ancestor's aura, you should be close to breaking through to the Golden Core Perfection stage as well, right?"
"Yes, it should take about five or six years to break through!" Yang Haoyu said with a smile.
Yunhua said, "Based on this calculation, our Old Ancestor should be able to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul before the Cold Tide arrives."
Yang Tianyou also said, "Our Old Ancestor's own aptitude is comparable to 80% of that of a cultivator with Heavenly Spirit Root, which can increase the chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul by 20%."
The Ancient Vein Jade Fruit I took previously can also increase the probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul by 30%.
"If we increase the Nascent Soul Pill by another 20%, that'll be 70%. With the addition of some precious Spirit Items, the Old Ancestor's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul should be a sure thing."
"It's all thanks to your support; otherwise, with my abilities, how could I have gotten this far?" Yang Haoyu said with emotion.
How could she have imagined that she would be able to advance from the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer to the Golden Core Great Perfection in just over a hundred years?
Looking back now, it feels like a dream.
Yang Tianyou listened to his Old Ancestor's words and his expression became slightly serious. He said, "When I was young, I was able to grow up smoothly thanks to Old Ancestor protection and care."
The Lineage owes much to the Old Ancestor's painstaking efforts; otherwise, it would have been wiped out by the Zhao Household and other hostile forces long ago.
Now that we, the younger generation, have the ability, of course we must support our Old Ancestor. Otherwise, the Great Dao is boundless, and if one walks alone, wouldn't one be lonely?
Upon hearing this, Yang Haoyu nodded slightly, a smile of satisfaction in his eyes.
With such a grandson, what more could one ask for?
After discussing the matters related to the Purple Moon Dharma Assembly with the Old Ancestor, Yang Haoyu left.
That evening, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old rushed back from outside; it was none other than Little True Person Yueyang.
Three years ago, after completing his bloodline Bloodline Metamorphosis, Little True Person Yueyang once again ran from the Chaotic Sea to the Yang Household.
When Yang Tianyou saw him, his expression was rather strange. "Hmm... he has indeed grown up, from around twelve years old to thirteen or fourteen... a year or two, isn't that growing too?!"
"Tianyou, come and try this! Fengling just developed a new Spirit Cuisine, it tastes really good!" Yueyang handed over a plate of Spirit Cuisine, holding it in one hand.
Yang Tianyou picked up the jade chopsticks, took a bite, Shen Yi lit up. It was indeed delicious.
It tastes much better than what the lady makes.
Of course, he wouldn't dare say this out loud, and neither would Yueyang.
"Tianyou, when do you plan to attack Iron Lion Ridge? Do you really have to wait until the Cold Tide arrives?" Yueyang asked.
"Well, the Cold Tide of the Jiazi Cycle is a traditionally agreed-upon time for war between the Savage Wilderness Great Domain and the Northern River Region. Attacking Iron Lion Ridge at this time will not be objected to by the higher-ups of the Four Great Foreign Races, as it could easily lead to unforeseen circumstances," Yang Tianyou explained.
Hearing this, Yueyang was somewhat disappointed, pouting, and said, "Fine, I was originally thinking of testing out the Divine Ability I just mastered!"
"Doesn't the Lineage have Trial Tower? Why don't you go there and try it out?" Yang Tianyou said with a smile.
"That's too unrealistic! I want a real, hands-on test!"
"Wait a little longer. When the Cold Tide comes in ten years, you'll be able to show off your skills. In the meantime, if you can't stay idle, you can practice with Xuanyin, Yuan Ba, and the others, or you can come find me!"
"You? Forget it, I don't want to get tortured. Let's go find Xuanyin instead. Yuan Ba is reckless and you'll easily get hurt if we fight." Yueyang said, pursing her lips.
"It's up to you!" Yang Tianyou said with a smile.
