How the Senior Brothers Formed Their Golden Cores
Lu Yang naturally turned the page to see how the other senior brothers and sisters formed their cores.
Based on Lu Yang's understanding of his senior sister, her Pill Formula was not replicable.
Lu Yang heard that his senior sister had reached the pinnacle of every realm. When she shattered her core and formed her nascent soul, she was punished by the blazing heavenly lightning, which was extremely terrifying.
It should be noted that tribulation lightning is usually only triggered when a Nascent Soul cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm Spirit Transformation stage. It is unprecedented for the Nascent Soul Realm to experience tribulation lightning!
A senior brother, imitating the method of the eldest sister, also wanted to form a nascent soul that would attract heavenly Nascent Soul. He spent countless efforts, suppressing his Golden Core stage Law Power again and again, constantly strengthening his foundation. Finally, he succeeded in breaking his core to form a nascent soul, attracting heavenly lightning.
To everyone's surprise, the senior brother's Nascent Soul took the initiative to withstand the power of the heavenly lightning and shattered it.
The Nascent Soul cultivator took the initiative to attack, something even the Eldest Sister's Nascent Soul couldn't do. This was equivalent to having an extra powerful clone, causing her combat power to skyrocket.
Just when people thought they were about to make history, the senior brother's Nascent Soul, without saying a word, utterly defeated him. The senior brother fought back desperately but was no match for him.
Although that senior brother was already at the Nascent Soul Realm, he couldn't defeat his own Nascent Soul.
In a sense, it truly made history.
The Silent Daoist tried to help his senior brother control his Nascent Soul, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he had no choice but to shatter the nascent Nascent Soul himself, telling his senior brother to use other methods to break his core and form his nascent soul, rather than taking a different path and inviting trouble upon himself.
Because this matter was so shameful, only those within the Ask Dao Sect knew about it.
As for this senior's name, it is rarely known.
However, Lu Yang heard from Meng Jingzhou's side that this disgraceful senior brother was the second disciple of the Silent Daoist, and his own second senior brother.
This senior brother is currently undergoing training in the Western Golden Buddha Kingdom. Lu Yang has not yet had the chance to meet him, having only seen his black and white portrait in the main hall of Heaven Gate Peak.
Sometimes, when praying that his second senior brother would have a smooth training journey, Lu Yang would light an incense stick to wish him well.
Lu Yang wouldn't show favoritism and would also offer incense to his third senior sister.
"Let me examine Senior Brother Dai Bufan's Golden Core. It's a Water-Wish Golden Core, a first-grade Golden Core. It's clear and fragrant, spiritual yet not cold, with a bluish tinge in its gold. It circulates and cultivates itself in the Dantian, transforming its spiritual power into waves that spread throughout the body, ensuring that its spiritual power is always at its peak."
"Cultivation method: Drink water until you are poisoned, then soak in a lake for ten days without surfacing. Imagine yourself as a fish, swimming freely in the lake. Finally, use your Dantian as a storage ring, and use your spatial energy to take in the water of the lake, combine it with your spiritual power, and compress it into Golden Core."
"One point to note: Don't imagine yourself as a fish, lest you bite the hook as soon as you see the bait."
"Second point to note: Please report in advance if you intend to consume a whole lake's worth of water, lest you suffer the same fate as me and end up in jail."
"Third point to note: Water intoxication is a normal phenomenon. Please prepare appropriate medication before drinking water."
Seeing the three precautions, Lu Yang found it hard to imagine what Senior Brother Dai Bufan had encountered.
"Eh, it's a water-attribute Golden Core." The Immortal Fairy's voice rang out.
Lu Yang was quite surprised. "Fairy, you're not asleep yet?"
"Play until you're done before you sleep." The Immortal Fairy waved her hand. "Speaking of water-attribute Golden Core cultivators, I remember I've encountered two opponents who were also water-attribute Golden Core cultivators. Both of them had first-grade Golden Core, but they were rare opponents in the Golden Core stage. If they joined forces, they would be invincible."
"One of them possesses the Three Rivers and Five Lakes Golden Core, which can mobilize the power of the Three Rivers and Five Lakes and summon the waters of the rivers; the other's Golden Core is the Boundless Ocean Elixir, which can mobilize the power of the ocean and summon the vast sea."
"Which of these two Golden Core is stronger? Is it the Boundless Ocean Pill?" Lu Yang wondered, after all, how could the power of a river compare to that of the ocean?
The Immortal Fairy shook her head. "The power of rivers is indeed no match for that of the sea, but Golden Core cultivator cannot mobilize all of it at once; there is a limit. The maximum power of these two Golden Core is almost the same, so there is no question of which is superior or inferior."
Lu Yang became even more curious. Both of these were first-grade water-attribute Golden Core, and their functions seemed to be very similar, with no difference in power.
"So what exactly is the difference between these two types of Golden Core?"
"Of course, one releases fresh water and the other releases salt water," the Immortal Fairy said matter-of-factly, giving Lu Yang a look that said, "You're so stupid."
Lu Yang: "..."
You cultivators had nothing better to do in High Antiquity times, huh? You even distinguish between Golden Core and saltwater Golden Core cultivators.
"Although these two are quite powerful, they are no match for my Water-Avoiding Technique." The Immortal Fairy tried her best to speak casually, displaying the confidence that she could annihilate her enemies with a laugh, but Lu Yang could tell from the smile on her lips that she couldn't suppress that she was very proud.
Lu Yang sighed inwardly. The fairy was indeed a fairy. Although she was usually unreliable and untrustworthy, if you think about it carefully, there were so many geniuses in High Antiquity times. It was the most prosperous period of cultivation in history, with a galaxy of stars and a forest of geniuses.
Moreover, the competition in High Antiquity times was fierce. Under such circumstances, for an immortal fairy to become one of the five High Antiquity immortals, her path to immortality must have been one of triumphs, defeating many seemingly insurmountable enemies. How could such a person have low combat power?
Golden Core Cores are classified into nine grades, with the first grade being the strongest and the Golden Core grade the weakest. First-grade Golden Cores are extremely rare, like finding gold in sand. Even a cultivation sect like the Dao Ask Dao Sect, which produces geniuses everywhere, can only guarantee that everyone has a top-three Golden Core, with first-grade Golden Core being a minority.
This is enough to demonstrate the power of a first-grade Golden Core elixir.
Two top-tier Golden Core cultivators joining forces would be virtually invincible, yet they were defeated in a single move. Such a feat is absolutely terrifying.
"By the way, what was your cultivation level back then, Fairy?"
"Nascent Soul Realm."
"... I knew it."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Lu Yang continued reading; behind Senior Brother Dai Bufan was Senior Brother Ji Hongwen.
"The Four Seasons Green Bamboo Elixir, the First-Grade Golden Core Elixir, with cinnabar patterns embedded in the bamboo forest, remains unchanged through the changing seasons, evergreen and serene, steadfast and unyielding, gentle and refined like a gentleman."
"Cultivation Method: When bamboo first sprouts, it is only an inch long, yet it already has nodes and leaves. Therefore, to paint bamboo, one must first have a complete image of bamboo in one's mind, hold the brush and observe it carefully, then eat bamboo as food and drink bamboo as water, get close to nature, feel nature, and see green everywhere one's eyes can see. Only in this way can one achieve the elixir."
"One of the precautions: Those who are not good at drawing should not attempt to form this Golden Core."
"Second point to note: Be wary of attacks from iron-eating beasts when meditating in the bamboo forest; they will think you are stealing their food."
"Third point to note: This Pill Formula is only applicable to green bamboo; please do not apply it to cacti, night-blooming cereus, or other plants."
It's clear that both Senior Brothers Dai Bufan and Ji Hongwen had some unexpected experiences when they formed their Core.
Seedlings, everyone can check them out when the second update comes out.
