Golden Core Opportunity
"Although the Lineage is large in size, there are also many clan members. In particular, we need to pay salaries to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the clan. Every year, the Lineage has to purchase some Foundation Establishment Demon Beast cores to refine Spirit Gathering Pill."
"Under such circumstances, the Lineage can only save about five thousand Spirit Stone each year."
"In recent years, the clan has accumulated even fewer Spirit Stone, with only a little over 40,000 Spirit Stone remaining."
"If you want to save up 300,000 Spirit Stone to buy a spiritual item that can help you break through to the Golden Core stage, it will take at least 60 years."
"But I am already 125 years old. I can't wait 60 years. With the help of my Lineage alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help me break through to the Golden Core realm."
"Although you are still young, and sixty years is a long time, even if the Lineage has saved up that huge sum of 300,000 Spirit Stone, the Hundred Spirits Sect, a major sect of Golden Core cultivators, probably won't be happy to let our Lineage buy the spiritual items needed to break through to the Golden Core stage. Even if we do manage to buy them, the Hundred Spirits Sect probably won't let you successfully consume the spiritual items to try and break through to the Golden Core stage."
"Now, we are both facing a dead end. Imprisoning me is tantamount to a dead end at the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Ling Pengyun naturally understood this principle as well.
Over the years, he had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of his close nephew Wu Hong, at the Golden Core stage, so that he could help block the other Golden Core cultivators from the Hundred Spirits Sect when he attempted to break through to the Golden Core stage in the future.
Although Wu Hong was not from the Lineage as his mother Yang Siling, he still valued family ties very much because of her.
Ling Pengyun Ling Pengyun was fairly confident that Wu Hong could enter the Golden Core and help him attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.
However, Wu Hong's strength alone is indeed weak. As for Wu Hong's Grandfather, the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor, why would he help him break through to the Golden Core? Perhaps he would even stop Wu Hong when he breaks through to the Golden Core stage.
Knowing that his Dao Path to enlightenment was not broken, but unable to advance further due to external forces, Ling Pengyun was in great pain and sighed helplessly.
But at that moment, Ling Yunhong's voice came again.
"However... I do know of a place where the two of us can break through to the Golden Core fortuitous opportunity, and there is no Hundred Spirits Sect to obstruct us."
Ling Pengyun was startled, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at Ling Yunhong, whose face was burning with enthusiasm.
"Third Grandfather, do you truly believe what you're saying?"
Ling Yunhong, his expression burning with enthusiasm, nodded slightly.
"Nature is truth!"
"The origin of this Golden Core elixir is very ancient, originating from our Ling Clan's ancestor, Ling Zhu."
"Ancestor Ling Zhu was not only at the Qi Training Completion stage as his clansmen claimed. His true cultivation level was as high as the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer. However, he was seriously injured, and his Dantian was also severely damaged, which caused his cultivation level to drop back to the Qi Refining Consummation Realm."
"In addition, Ancestor Ling Zhu Non-Self Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, but came from a Nascent Soul Great Sect called Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World, and was also the closed-door disciple of a Golden Core True Person."
"The Azure Sea True Scripture of our Lineage, as well as the second-tier Spirit Plant inheritance, are all from this sect's lineage."
"Back then, the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect fought a great battle with another Nascent Soul Great Sect. Because its own Nascent Soul experts were killed, the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect was also defeated and collapsed."
"Ancestor Ling Zhu was seriously injured in the battle between these two sects, which caused his cultivation to decline. Fortunately, because his master, Golden Core True Person, valued him, he was given a third-tier Escape Technique Spirit Talisman before the battle, which allowed him to escape the battlefield."
"Afterwards, although enemy cultivators pursued and killed him, our ancestor was fortunate enough to kill them one by one by relying on his many skills."
"Subsequently, the ancestor considered that his cultivation had fallen back to the Qi Refinement Realm, and his strength was weak."
"In addition, the enemy sect is powerful, and he is quite famous as a disciple of a Golden Core True Person Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World, it would be too dangerous. So he had no choice but to escape from the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World and settle down in our Northern Wilderness Cultivation World."
"According to the secrets left by the ancestor Ling Zhu, although the experts of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect were killed, because the sect was established in a secret realm, when the Nascent Soul expert of the sect was killed, that Nascent Soul expert deliberately closed the entrance to the secret realm, thus preserving some of the sect's Xue Yuan."
"According to the ancestor Ling Zhu's speculation before his death, the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect is located in that secret realm, and even multiple Nascent Soul Realm experts would find it difficult to break through. It is highly likely that the sect still exists to this day, but it is still in that secret realm and dares not show itself, lest the enemy sect find its trace."
"Our ancestor was highly regarded by his master, the Golden Core True Person, who, during his escape, specifically revealed a hidden entrance to the sect to him."
"But that secluded place is located in the territory of the infamous Nascent Soul Demon Race clan Dragon Scale Shark, in the Boundless Sea Region."
"If our ancestor had not been severely injured, there would have been a good chance to break into the Nascent Soul Demon Race Dragon Scale Shark Clan and enter the sect through the hidden entrance."
"But my ancestor's cultivation level was only at the Qi Training Completion Refining at that time, so he had no choice but to miss this fortuitous opportunity."
"And the opportunity to Golden Core Opportunity that I mentioned is within the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect."
"It is recorded in the secrets of our ancestors that his master, Master Azure Water True Person, was a third-level Talisman Crafter who was skilled in water escape techniques. When the sect entrance was closed, he managed to escape back to the sect's ruins by relying on a Water Escape Divine Power."
"His master broke through to the Golden Core three hundred years ago, and he is probably still alive today."
"If our ancestor is still alive, considering that his master had the cultivation of the Golden Core Third Layer two hundred years ago, now that two hundred years have passed, it is highly likely that the Azure Sea Zhenren has also reached the Golden Core Middle Stage stage."
"Within the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, which has no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, this is probably considered top-tier."
"When our ancestor was still alive, he obtained a great fortuitous opportunity for his master, Master Azure Sea Zhenren. Before our ancestor passed away, his master, Azure Sea Zhenren, made a promise to our ancestor that he would find a spiritual object for our ancestor to break through to the Golden Core stage. Even if our ancestor failed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage at the optimal age for breaking through to the Golden Core Foundation Establishment Completion, he would still find a spiritual object for our ancestor's talented descendants to achieve the Golden Core stage."
"If this Azure Sea Zhenren keeps his word, with Azure Sea Zhenren cultivation level, finding a Golden Core Spirit Object for one of us shouldn't be a problem."
"At that time, whether it is either of us who obtains that Golden Core Spirit Object, we will have at least a 20% chance of breaking through to the Golden Core."
"If it succeeds, then those who haven't broken through to the Golden Core stage will have no worries about their future Dao Path."
"Peng Yun, ten years from now, would you be willing to accompany me to the territory of the Nascent Soul Demon Race Clan Dragon Scale Shark, and enter the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, a secret realm, through that small entrance to seek the opportunity to obtain the Golden Core Opportunity?"
Ling Yunhong looked at Ling Pengyun, his eyes burning with anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was filled with shock.
He never imagined that his Lineage had such a connection.
It took Ling Pengyun quite a while to come to his senses.
He certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to Golden Core Opportunity.
Even if the Dragon Scale Shark territory is dangerous, and even if the chance of obtaining Golden Core Spirit Object after joining the sect is slim, if he doesn't try, he probably will never have the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core in his lifetime.
One can try to break through on their own at the Foundation Establishment Realm, but at the Golden Core stage, the heavenly tribulation of lightning is so severe that it is impossible to withstand without external assistance.
As for those external things, the Ling Clan behind him simply couldn't control them.
"If I don't achieve the Golden Core, I will still turn into dust in a hundred years."
"Third Grandfather, I'll take care of this."
Ling Pengyun's eyes were firm as he solemnly replied.
"Ten years from now, you and I, grandfather and grandson, will venture into the Dragon Scale Shark territory of the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World world," Ling Yunhong laughed loudly upon hearing Ling Pengyun's reply.
"Okay," Ling Pengyun replied.
"I hope you will not spread this matter, not even to your closest relatives. If this matter spreads and the enemy sect, Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, finds out, our clan will surely be regarded as remnants by that enemy sect, causing chaos throughout the entire Lineage," Ling Yunhong said solemnly.
"I understand, Third Grandfather." Ling Pengyun nodded.
"Alright, now that this matter is settled, you should return to Falling Dusk Mountain as soon as possible to cultivate in seclusion and strive to reach the Foundation Establishment Consummation Realm as soon as possible. This way, your strength will be even greater, and it will be safer for us to venture into the Dragon Scale Shark Territory," Ling Yunhong instructed.
Ling Pengyun nodded slightly and left the place, riding the Wind Shadow Peng back to Falling Dusk Mountain.
Falling Dusk Mountain is only a few thousand miles away from the Clan Mountain. Wind Shadow Peng is extremely fast, and in just a few hours, he brought Ling Pengyun back to Falling Dusk Mountain.
Upon entering Falling Dusk Mountain, Ling Pengyun went into the Falling Dusk Mountain Spirit Plant Garden, which was protected by a Second Grade Middle Rank Aura Concealment Array.
Relying on the Spiritual Qi of the mountains and a few Spirit Stone, another acre of Second Rank High Grade Spirit Field was opened up within this Spirit Plant Zone, and the Purple Moon Spirit Tree was planted in this Spirit Plant Garden.
Then, using the Aura Concealment Array to create clouds and mist, they enveloped the Spirit Field planted with Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Tree.
Thus, Ling Chengping, who had to enter this place every day to take care of the group of Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm in the garden, could hardly notice the Purple Moon Spirit Tree.
Having accomplished this task, he instructed Ling Chengping and Ling Xiaoyan, who had been staying in the mountains, to cultivate diligently. Then, he once again rode the Wind Shadow Peng away, heading towards Serpent Dragon Lake.
His Daoist partner, Yan Siyi, is still at Serpent Dragon Lake. He needs to go and pick her up to prevent any accidents from happening to her.
At the same time, we can also observe Yang Siling's condition after she has been infused with the Yin Yang Primordial Qi.
Several days later.
As soon as Ling Pengyun returned to Cangdao Small Courtyard on Serpent Dragon Island, he handed over the Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Fruit he had obtained on this trip to his Daoist partner Yan Siyi.
He is currently in the same stage as Ling Yunhong, refining his spiritual power. At this stage, consuming the Purple Moon Spirit Fruit, which helps with breakthroughs, is too extravagant.
It would be better to let Yan Siyi break through the bottleneck of the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.
Yan Siyi was quite pleased with Ling Pengyun's actions, and in broad daylight, she took Ling Pengyun Ling Pengyun into the house to "reward" him.
Afterwards, the couple chatted casually.
Ling Pengyun also learned from his Daoist partner Yan Siyi that a month ago, a Nascent Soul expert who passed by Serpent Dragon Lake helped his cousin Yang Siling restore her foundation and assist her in embarking on the Dao Path again.
Upon learning of this, Ling Pengyun was both amused and exasperated.
He hadn't expected that remotely controlling the Yin Yang Primordial Qi to transfer to Yang Siling would trigger such a "major event".
Subsequently, he took his wife Yan Siyi to the Spirit Talisman Residence, which was also on Serpent Dragon Island, and found Yang Siling, who was in seclusion for cultivation.
"Congratulations to my cousin on having such a good fortuitous opportunity to return to the Dao Path."
"Cousin, this is five catties of second-grade Fruit Flower Honey that I've saved up over the years. I'm giving it to you as a congratulatory gift. I hope you won't find it too expensive," Ling Pengyun said to Yang Siling.
"It was truly a stroke of luck. I just don't know why the senior who helped me didn't show himself. If only I could become a disciple of such a powerful expert with Tong Tian abilities."
Yang Siling said with a hint of regret.
Ling Pengyun raised an eyebrow, genuinely wanting to reveal the truth and make fun of Yang Siling.
However, the methods of the Yin Yang Primordial Qi were too transcendent, and revealing them would inevitably cause trouble. Ling Pengyun could only miss this opportunity to make fun of Yang Siling.
"That senior may have had some inconveniences, which is why he was unable to take on a disciple. However, since that senior is willing to help you, cousin, to embark on the Dao Path cultivation again, he must value you highly."
"Perhaps when you achieve something in the future, or when that senior finishes dealing with his current affairs, he will come looking for you," Ling Pengyun said, a look of regret on his face, to avoid Yang Siling noticing anything amiss.
"I hope so." Upon hearing this, Yang Siling felt a surge of ambition to achieve an even greater breakthrough.
