Thirty years old, at peak Foundation Establishment!

"Sneak into?"

"That's a nice thing to say."

"In the seas, where is there a place my Merfolk Race cannot go? You're just a high-ranking beast, yet you dare to put on such airs in front of my Merman Royal Clan." Anyway, now that he's disguised as Merfolk, Su Bai isn't afraid at all; he'll just pretend however he wants.

Chen Shuo was, after all, a Single Spirit Root genius, a rare find in the Thunder Cloud Palace over the past few centuries.

This arrogant Merfolk at the mere Condensing Origin Stage Realm infuriated him.

He stared gloomily at the Merfolk before him. "I am Golden Core Stage Cultivator, which, converted to your Sea Tribe's rank, is equivalent to Demon General."

"How dare you show such disrespect to a Demon General? Aren't you afraid that I might kill you in a fit of rage?"

Seeing that Chen Shuo truly harbored murderous intent, Su Bai decided to stop while he was ahead. "Ahem, how can Human Race Golden Core cultivator compare to my Demon General..."

"However, don't do anything foolish. I possess the Bloodline of the Merman Royal Clan. If you kill me, Merman Emperor will sense it."

"Our Merfolk Race one emperor and multiple kings; we are not someone your little Thunder Island can afford to offend."

Su Bai spoke, feigning bravado but actually sounding weak.

Seeing Su Bai's expression, Chen Shuo finally managed a slight smile. These damned Sea Demons monsters, one day I'll kill them all!

"Are you alright? If not, I'll be leaving now," Su Bai said.

"Let's leave it at that this time. If you ever come to Thunder Island again in the future, please be sure to do so through proper channels. Otherwise, the Cultivator of Thunder Island will not hold back as we have this time," Chen Shuo said coldly.

"Okay, okay."

Su Bai waved its claws impatiently, then leaped into the sea.

"Damn monster." Chen Shuo hovered in the air, calming his anger before turning back and heading towards Thunder Island.

"I've heard that an alliance between the South Sea Nine Islands and the Heavenly Star Alliance is currently under discussion."

"Let's complete the alliance quickly."

"Only by engaging in an unprecedented war with the Demon Race, like the Heavenly Star Alliance, can our Southern Sea Cultivation World truly gain a foothold among the Sea Tribe..." Chen Shuo pondered.

The Heavenly Star Alliance is extremely influential in the surrounding Cultivation World because it forcefully opened up the situation in the Demon Heavenly Star Alliance Demon Star Sea, the territory of the Demon Race race, and established Heavenly Star City.

The Heavenly Star Alliance, to some extent, can be considered a banner of victory for the Human Race Cultivation World.

Meanwhile, Su Bai had been traveling quite a distance in the sea.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he transformed back into human form.

"The combination of [Thousand Faces Corpse Body] and [Endless Vitality] is truly amazing. Plus, with my Demon Race Bloodline, I can easily disguise myself as either Demon Race or Human Race."

Leaping out of the sea, Su Bai summoned the Soaring Dragon Sword, adjusted his direction, and headed back towards the Teleportation Array array.

A few days later.

Under the watchful eyes of the Fisherman Cultivator, Su Bai disappeared into the Teleportation Array.

They reappeared in the Star Sea Teleportation Area of Heavenly Star City.

"They're back."

Every time Su Bai returned to Heavenly Star City, he always felt a sense of peace.

Without lingering for long, Su Bai headed back to the Zhang Family Residence and, through the Zhang Family's Teleportation Pavilion, proceeded into the Water Pavilion Secret Realm.

Closed-door Cultivation within the Water Pavilion Secret Realm.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Su Bai turned thirty without even realizing it.

Thirty years old is a threshold in life for ordinary people.

But in the Cultivation World, Su Bai was still as naive as a newly sprouted seed.

On this day, Su Bai took a High-grade Lightning Origin Pill.

As the surging medicinal power dissipated, the Spiritual Power within Su Bai's dantian reacted in an unusual way.

Su Bai knew that the breakthrough to a higher realm was imminent.

Su Bai fully activated his Main Cultivation Method, the Nine Heavens Sword Soul Art. The Sword Soul within his dantian hummed continuously, and the Spiritual Qi absorbed by his Water Heavenly Spirit Root quickly acquired a sharp edge upon entering his body.

Buzzing.

Suddenly, a certain barrier was broken in the dantian.

Wow.

The Spiritual Power began to surge and swell.

The surrounding Water Spiritual Energy surged into Su Bai's body at a speed ten times faster than usual.

The Zhang Family Cultivator throughout the Thatched Hut area were alarmed, but they quickly Consciousness that someone was breaking through to a higher realm.

However, the mere breakthrough in realm can trigger such intense fluctuations of Spiritual Qi. It's unclear whether this person possesses an extraordinary Spirit Root or has used some Secret Method for breaking through realms.

The Liquid Spiritual Power within Su Bai's dantian began to rapidly fill.

Several hours, half a day, or perhaps several days later.

Su Bai's dantian was completely filled with Liquid Spiritual Power, and he had achieved the Peak Foundation Establishment!

Su Bai slowly circulated his cultivation Cultivation Method to adapt to his current level.

"The Spiritual Power has increased by about 30%, and it's become much more refined."

"My Divine Sense only increased by 20%, which is probably related to the fact that I absorbed [Thousand Faces Phantom] a few months ago, which increased my base Divine Sense."

"Is this the Peak Foundation Establishment? My Spiritual Power is completely full, with no possibility of increasing it further."

"Staying at this level will at most refine your Spiritual Power a bit more; there won't be any major changes."

"Now, I can take the Breakthrough Pill and try to advance to the Golden Core Stage," Su Bai murmured.

Su Bai was quite confident about advancing to the Golden Core.

He was a time traveler, having experienced multiple layers of information from his previous life, making his views open-minded and adaptable, and his resilience incredibly strong.

Therefore, he was confident that his Dao Heart was more steadfast than anyone else's in this world...

Furthermore, Master True Man He will provide Profound Gold Pill and other auxiliary Spirit Pills.

If one still cannot successfully advance to the Golden Core stage after all this, then there are no Golden Core Cultivator in this world.

"Advancing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core no longer requires Tribulation Crossing, making it much easier."

"The average probability of an ordinary Cultivator advancing to the Golden Core Stage is between 20% and 30%."

"And I, at least 80%."

"To be on the safe side, it's best to review the past again before getting promoted, and to clear your mind."

A steadfast Dao Heart emphasizes having a clear conscience in all matters, big and small, and firmly adhering to one's Dao.

Although Su Bai is currently in Heavenly Star City, he still needs to personally check on his mortal identity and the situation of the Jade Mist Sect.

He cultivated in the Thatched Hut for more than a month.

He only ended his cultivation after the Zhang Family Cultivator outside had forgotten about the commotion surrounding his advancement.

Su Bai glanced at the timer on the side; it was already May of the following year.

This seclusion lasted a little over two years, during which he successfully advanced to the Peak Foundation Establishment.

It took much less time than expected.

While it is certainly related to that ' Abyss Time ', the superiority of this Water Heavenly Spirit Root is beyond doubt.

"Let's go back to Qingzhou."

Su Bai opened the Thatched Hut and sped towards the Teleportation Array array leading to the exit of the Water Pavilion Secret Realm.
