To achieve immortality, one must cultivate one's vital energy and obtain the true elixir. One must seize the sun and moon and refine them within one's heart, and capture the universe and refine it within one's belly.

On this day, five-colored light shone on Changle Peak, and the divine power of the immortal's cave abode appeared.

A powerful surge of golden core spiritual energy, accompanied by the tangible Core Power formed from Spiritual Qi, rippled like golden water, converging into concentric golden ripples that spread out from the cave abode.

Gradually, even He Yingyu could no longer stay inside the cave abode, and had to switch to guarding outside the cave abode.

Deep within the cave abode.

Three dazzling Golden Light continued to flicker and fluctuate, absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, as well as the essence of the sun and moon, to solidify the shape of the golden core.

The saying "to capture the sun and moon in one's heart and refine them in one's belly" refers to absorbing the essence of the sun and moon as well as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

When these two forces accumulate to a rich peak, the process of Forming Core is simply waiting for the completion of the process, and then one can transcend worldly concerns and Creation Pill.

At this moment, Chen Dengming was completely enveloped in Golden Light from his upper, middle, and lower Dantian, transforming him into a golden man.

His hair and eyebrows were golden, like golden threads, and each hair stood up under the pull of the enormous force around him; his skin was also golden to the point of being transparent.

The Core Power had gradually penetrated into every minute part of his body, helping him to complete the ultimate transformation and sublimation of his life and lifespan.

Within the three rings of Golden Light were his three illusory cores, existing between reality and illusion, that is, fake cores.

With each slight rotation of the illusory core, the absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth and the essence of the sun and moon deepens.

The inner elixir of the illusory Core Power, like gold and water rippling, and it has solidified a little, gradually becoming dazzlingly golden, as if it is about to turn from gold to white.

This is precisely the result of the profound light of creation, where the primordial energy of the Dantian blossoms.

Only after the golden liquid returns nine times will the water be exhausted and the gold be reborn in concentric circles.

The reason why true Golden Core Great Cultivator possess purer and more powerful Core Power is that they have completed the Ninefold Return of Golden Liquid when breaking through to the Golden Core stage, or at the very least, the Sixfold Return.

Therefore, in the Cultivation World, there is a saying about the superior-grade Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

But in reality, such claims are just meant to fool laymen.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir isn't necessarily much stronger than the Six-Turn Golden Elixir; it's just that it's a bit purer. That slight difference in purity is negligible in terms of combat power.

Chen Dengming noticed that all three illusory cores in his body had completed a full rotation, absorbing a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the essence of the sun and moon. Their Core Power had become more than twice as pure and stronger, and they were moving closer to the center of his chest and abdomen.

This completes the process of the three returns.

Each time the three illusory cores complete a full rotation, they return to each other three times, drawing closer together.

After circling twice, the six essences will be fully gathered together, ready to condense into a golden core.

However, the resistance and dangers generated in this process will also become rapidly unstable along with the sudden increase in power.

Chen Dengming focused his mind and gradually maintained the speed of the elixir's rotation.

This is no easy task.

Because at this moment, every part of his body was being infused with the Core Power, gradually strengthening it, causing a tingling, itchy sensation all over his body, and even a pain like ants biting him.

Especially after the essence and energy are transformed into spirit, they are infused with Divine Sense, causing the power of Divine Sense to surge.

The Physical Body strength has increased, but it can still be suppressed and controlled.

A rapid spiritual uplift is difficult to control, easily leading to a state of euphoria, restlessness, and the emergence of various illusions and inner demons such as the three corpses, five ghosts, and six thieves.

Under such dual pressure of Physical Body and spiritual strain, the difficulty of controlling three illusory cores to combine into a single golden core is unimaginable.

However, Chen Dengming is no longer the naive young man he was when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment.

He was empowered by the power of two major Daoist traditions.

His State of Mind was stable and strong.

After more than two years of research, the Immortal Celestial Dao Power has become capable of precisely adjusting and controlling the balance of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Therefore, even as the three illusory cores rotated and drew closer to each other, and the powerful Core Power surged rapidly, Chen Dengming remained State of Mind and unperturbed by praise or blame.

In the spiritual world, a myriad of chaotic thoughts arose due to the rapid enhancement of Divine Sense.

His wife and children died, his brothers passed away, and his sect was destroyed. In the blink of an eye, thousands of years later, he was all alone, walking the path of the Great Dao to the heavens, all by himself.

Contemplating the vastness of heaven and earth, I am overwhelmed with sorrow and tears stream down my face.

A sense of sorrow arose spontaneously, and his heart felt as if it had been transformed into a heavenly blade slashing down.

My heart is the heart of Heaven, my will is the Heaven's Will!

What is the Heaven's Will?

Heaven's Will is like a knife, severing all emotions and desires, and the entanglements of love!

Heaven's Will is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs, sweeping away the clouds and dust that obscured the view, terrifying the three corpses, five ghosts, and six thieves into scattering in fear.

Buzz--

At this moment, the three illusory cores had completely condensed together at his chest, becoming a single, overlapping golden core, which instantly unleashed an astonishingly powerful and terrifying force.

The Sixfold Rejuvenation Elixir is now ready to be formed.

His Core Power became more than twice as pure and stronger.

This instantaneous increase in Core Power is enough to make most False Core Cultivator unable to resist the overwhelming and astonishing impact when they reach this stage.

In severe cases, the golden core will explode, shattering into dust, rendering all efforts futile and decades of arduous cultivation futile.

At best, the Core Power will dissipate, and the illusory elixir will return to its original state. Ultimately, how much Core Power will remain is another matter entirely.

However, in that perilous moment, Chen Dengming seemed to have transformed into a vast and boundless ocean.

His meridians were like thousands of rivers, absorbing and circulating the surging power that suddenly expanded and burst forth, and then slowly injecting it into his golden core, forming a temporary buffer cycle.

This was none other than the Spirit Devouring Technique.

At this moment, a golden core, resembling a small golden sun, emanated a gentle yet terrifyingly oppressive power, hovering above his chest.

This made him appear to radiate a subtle Golden Light, sitting calmly and sacredly in the cave, a sight that sent shivers down one's spine.

The Sixfold Golden Elixir has been completed.

Even if he stopped moving, he would soon stabilize his golden core.

He has fully entered the Golden Core Realm.

At this moment, countless onlookers outside the cave abode had already seen the dazzling Golden Light that emerged from Chen Dengming's cave abode.

It was as if the sun had pierced through the mountains and rivers, making the rocks and cliffs almost transparent.

"So this is the Dao Child Golden Core?" True Man Yu Ding Ye Yong was both surprised and astonished.

Guan Chao shook his head solemnly and said, "No, it seems he still has plenty of energy left and is preparing to advance to the ninth level!"

"Nine-Turn Golden Elixir!?"

Some deacons and fake alchemists also noticed something amiss and discussed it amongst themselves, some with admiration, some with concern, but all feeling it was justified.

The vast majority of Dao Child from major sects choose the Nine Revolutions method when breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Unless they truly lack the ability.

For a fake core cultivator who barely manages to break through to the Golden Core stage without the necessary strength, being able to condense the core at the sixth stage is already quite good; why would they dare to hope for the ninth stage?

Even with a few more pure Core Power, it's difficult to establish a significant advantage.

But for talented Heavenly Pride with real ability, these boosts are easily attainable; they might as well take them.

Chen Dengming possesses two great lineages, and is now considered a Heavenly Pride.

Just as the golden core in his chest was about to stabilize, he once again made the golden core rotate, quickly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth and the essence of the sun and moon that had been gathered around him with great difficulty.

The immense energy dissipated rapidly.

Like a sky full of rosy clouds, it vanished without a trace with astonishing speed, penetrating into Chen Dengming's body.

This surging, immense power was enough to break his body's meridians inch by inch.

This, however, caused the golden elixir to spin again.

However, Chen Dengming mobilized his Immortal Celestial Dao Power, and blue Dao Power burst forth from his eyes, controlling the violent Spiritual Qi colliding wildly in the surrounding world, slowly entering his body and injecting it into the increasingly dazzling golden core.

As the final rotation was about to end, Chen Dengming felt as if he had instantly shrunk into an extremely quiet and powerful realm.

One's own domain.

The area around his chest.

A golden elixir, overflowing with brilliance, slowly stopped spinning, as if the earth's crust were gently shaking its axis, and the dark clouds were slowly turning away from the heavens.

A thunderclap resounded from Outer Heaven.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir has been completely completed!

In an instant, the dazzling Golden Light, accompanied by immense spiritual power, spread rapidly and uncontrollably from within the cave abode, reaching all directions.

The entire Changle Peak appears to be bathed in golden light, appearing clear and bright.

Countless disciples of the Longevity Sect witnessed a bizarre and unforgettable scene.

It was as if a golden sun had suddenly appeared in the world, vying with the bright sun in the clear sky.

The sunlight illuminates the sea of clouds, creating a dazzling display of colors that shimmer and change, a truly magnificent sight.

This was a more dazzling and radiant display of spiritual light than any scene usually witnessed by Golden Core Great Cultivator.

It is the ultimate sublimation caused by the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi after the breakthrough of the Nine-Turn Golden Core.

The intense spiritual power was so overwhelming that it took one's breath to catch.

Gongshu Zai stood at the entrance of his cave abode, stroking his beard and sighing, "Such powerful spiritual energy, such profound foundation! No wonder you are Nephew Disciple Chen, no wonder you possess the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir!"

In mid-air, Guan Chao glanced down and snorted, "Junior Brother Gongshu, you haven't switched out of your senior uncle's role yet? Now you should Your Highness Daozi Junior Brother Chen, not Nephew Disciple."

"Maybe in a few years, you'll have to call him your senior uncle."

Gongshu Zai froze, and he almost tore off his goatee. He said awkwardly and somewhat irritably.

"Senior Brother Guan, I'm supposed to call someone 'Uncle-Master,' so why aren't you? You're just badmouthing people."

At this moment, the spiritual power has not yet dissipated.

Outside the cave abode, He Yingyu's pretty face flushed with excitement, and she almost burst into tears of joy.

Inside the cave abode, Chen Dengming emitted a faint Golden Light. Drawn by the strong Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him, he quietly floated in mid-air. The Spiritual Qi, like wisps of aurora, danced around him in a bewitching manner.

Golden Core Realm!

He has truly entered this stage.

He felt an immense surge of extraordinary Core Power filling his entire body, seemingly inexhaustible. A casual strike from it could rival the power of a full-force attack from a magical Law Treasure in the past.

He was very familiar with this incredibly powerful state of being.

He experienced this overwhelming sense of power every time he entered the Human Immortal Physique state.

However, in the state of being Human Immortal Physique, Physical Body strength, defense, endurance, speed, and so on are greatly enhanced.

At this stage, those who are in the Golden Core Realm possess abundant and powerful Core Power, profound Law Power, and incredibly strong Divine Sense.

In addition, he could sense that the range and degree of his control over the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding world were completely different.

It seems that with a casual grab, one can control the Spiritual Qi of a vast expanse of heaven and earth, and easily beat up a bunch of False Core Cultivator.

"Illusion, we've just broken through the illusion barrier, we can't get too cocky yet."

Chen Dengming warned himself to avoid arrogance and impetuosity, and not to become unruly after achieving success.

He's only a minor Golden Core cultivator now, not Nascent Soul, and hasn't reached the level of dominating the four realms yet.

He slowly landed and stood firm, feeling that his powerful strength was unstoppable for the time being. His whole body still radiated spiritual power and Golden Light, Core Power was surging and surging within his body, improving his physique. A layer of crystal-clear, salty sweat stains had appeared on his skin.

After the breakthrough, his body underwent another complete transformation, and this process is still ongoing.

However, at his level of strength, the impurities and areas for improvement within his body are already extremely subtle and refined.

Therefore, she will no longer be like when she was weak, with pores spewing feces and her whole body stinking; instead, her body now exudes an alluring fragrance.

He pondered for a moment, observing the status of the control panel.

"Golden Core Early Stage cultivator [Chen Dengming]"

Lifespan: 100/569/1400

Spirit Root: Metal, Wood (Superior Grade 100/100)

Daoist Techniques: <Evergreen Merit> (12th level, 90000/90000), others omitted.

"As expected. My Lifespan Limit has only increased by 501 years so far. The remaining lifespan is still gradually increasing as my body improves. It won't happen overnight, just like when I broke through to the Foundation Establishment."

Chen Dengming glanced at his Lifespan Limit had already exceeded a thousand years, and felt a surge of joy.

His lifespan is still increasing, and it may not increase by eight hundred years in the end, because he has already lived to be one hundred years old. But with the special nature of the Evergreen Merit, increasing it by another seven hundred years is just a piece of cake.

"That year, I was a hundred years old. I was in the Longevity Sect's cave abode, already a hundred-year-old Golden Core cultivator."

Even with Chen Dengming's State of Mind, he was still overjoyed and excited at this moment.

He paced back and forth a few times, wanting to put his hands in his pockets, but finding he had none, he tucked his hands into his sleeves and walked out of the quiet room with a smug look on his face. His Divine Sense had already sensed He Yingyu's approaching a moment earlier.

"Was my breakthrough a big deal? If not many people in the sect know about it, I can give them a surprise."

"Master, my lord!"

At this moment, He Yingyu rushed over in surprise, only to see Chen Dengming walking out of the quiet room, his body radiating Golden Light and full of spiritual power. The Junior Brother she was about to say was subconsciously called "husband" instead.

Chen Dengming was surprised, noticing something in He Yingyu's surprised yet slightly awkward expression, and he put on a stern face and snorted.

"When there are two people, call me Junior Brother."

He Yingyu smiled upon hearing this, her unease vanishing. Overcoming the mental pressure from Lingwei opposite her, she threw herself into Chen Dengming's arms, speaking with a mix of coquettishness and pride.

"You've already reached the Golden Core stage. If I keep calling you 'Junior Brother,' it'll be too beneath your dignity. From now on, I'll just call you 'Husband.'"

Chen Dengming slapped him hard across the face with a loud "smack," pretending to Life Energy as he reprimanded him.

"If you want to maintain my authority, then whose orders will you take? Will you teach me how to do things?"

"I'm going to die!"

He Yingyu spat in embarrassment and anger, immediately pulling away from his embrace, saying, "There are a lot of people watching outside."

Chen Dengming regretted it the moment he slapped his hand out.

Because they had already sensed the presence of many people outside.

There were even Golden Core Elder monitoring this area with their Orthodox God sense.

His hand just felt good.

But that seductive sound was clearly heard by a group of old men.

Having just broken through to the Golden Core stage, this situation is somewhat embarrassing.

"It's just breaking through to the Golden Core stage, why are so many people watching the spectacle?"

Chen Dengming muttered something, then coughed again. Seeing that He Yingyu had already retreated into her boudoir in the cave abode, he could only cast a Cleansing Technique on himself and straighten his clothes.

He went out alone to meet with many Golden Core Elders and disciples.

Outside.

The Golden Core Elder looked at each other, suddenly finding it somewhat amusing, realizing they had all seen through each other's thoughts.

This former junior Nephew Disciple has suddenly become the Junior Brother.

The change in address made me feel a little awkward at first.

However, if we all Your Highness Daozi together later, maybe we can get away with it.

At this moment, among the group of fake cultivators outside the cave abode, Hua Zhenyu and the others had even more complicated feelings.

Hua Zhenyu, in particular, thought he would be the fastest among the disciples of the Longevity Sect to break through to the Golden Core stage.

As a result, he was outdone by his junior Junior Brother Chen Dengming once again.

Now, he hasn't reached the Golden Core stage yet, but according to the change in seniority after advancing in strength, he has to address Chen Dengming as Junior Uncle.

The junior Junior Brother of yesteryear is now the junior master.

Fellow Senior Brother in the sect, who understands? Being the Senior Brother is truly a miserable experience for him.

At this time.

They saw the cave abode over there shimmering with Golden Light.

A figure exuding oppressive power, shrouded in subtle Golden Light, has appeared.

Many disciples were deeply shaken, vaguely sensing that a majestic figure with Bai Mao at the temples had entered their minds.

Hua Zhenyu forced himself to cheer up, a smile on his face, and lined up after the many elders to respectfully address them as Junior Uncle.

We've already backed down before, so backing down again is no big deal.

In the Cultivation World, strength is paramount, and there's nothing shameful about it.
