Jiang Ping, led by Gu Ling, arrived at the Mid-Mountain of Gold Element Mountain.
The scenery here is equally beautiful, a place of outstanding natural beauty and vibrant colors.
The steam rising from the pool has a unique charm, somewhat sacred.
"Hmm, that's enough."
Jiang Ping examined the Creation Pond and nodded slightly. The aura within the pool was not as strong as that at the mountaintop, but it was still rich enough that he might be able to break through his cultivation barrier again.
Moreover, Gu Ling was very good at interpersonal relationships; he called the others away in advance so that he could enjoy the good fortune all to himself.
"Consider this an apology for breaking my promise last time," Gu Ling said. She didn't like owing people anything; last time, her brother had given her resources, but the other party hadn't accepted them.
"Okay." Jiang Ping smiled, though he didn't really take it to heart.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Can you still use the Void Palm in a trade?"
"Um..." Gu Ling blushed and said embarrassedly, "Brother Jiang should know that this palm technique is priceless. I cannot make the decision on my own; it requires the approval of my Lineage elders."
She pondered for a moment and said, "If Brother Jiang is truly interested, I will give it to you now. I believe the elders will approve afterward."
This young man is exceptionally talented and should have a better chance than Xiao Yucheng to realize the Void Trend.
"Never mind." Jiang Ping waved his hand, saying no more.
There's no rush. If I really want to practice, there will be plenty of opportunities later.
Then, he stopped chatting and went straight into the pool to absorb the energy.
I'm leaving now.
Gu Ling didn't linger here. She wasn't Saint Body like Chen Qingyan; she also needed to refine her Golden Core through the power of creation.
Buzz!
Inside the pool, Jiang Ping sat cross-legged, his inner Golden Core Different Force boiling rapidly, like a roaring river, steaming out large patches of mottled vapor.
Not long after.
He made a breakthrough.
It's not about cultivation, it's about skill!
[Short Life Saber Qi (139%→140%)]
Within the Consciousness Space, one hundred and forty Saber Qi appeared densely packed, exuding an intense aura of death.
Even within the Five Elements Mysterious Mountain, Jiang Ping continued to Life and Death.
His cultivation level was rising higher and higher, and the time for him to make a choice was approaching.
The Blade Art Xie Wuji gave me is quite good; if one were to Becoming a Saint with this skill, it would be powerful enough.
However, this was not the first choice and had long been relegated to the sidelines.
Having the ability to put the path into practice, one naturally wants to do even better.
Boom!
Within the space, Jiang Ping forcibly fused the two techniques of Changshi Fist and Short Life Saber together, unleashing a terrifying brilliance.
Like a grand curtain unfurled before his eyes, it revealed a breathtaking spectacle of Life and Death Cycle Withering and Blooming and prosperity.
Deep within the curtain, one could vaguely see densely interwoven chains, resembling Dao Pattern or Law Chain.
Several small figures, with their exceptional comprehension, carefully observed and pondered the text.
"This way of Treading the path has a remarkable effect. Life and Death are one, just as all things have a lifespan. Fate is predetermined; what begins with prosperity will eventually turn to dust."
Soon, Jiang Ping seemed to realize something, and the vitality on the curtain suddenly brightened, becoming even more dazzling.
[The Changshi Fist Intent Realm (78%→80%)]
He once again paved the way for the art of life, taking a further step after Great Accomplishment of Artistic Conception, and putting into practice Eighth Level Concept Realm.
"The old man's life has been extended again."
Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but he didn't make a fuss or share it with his wife, because this place wasn't a place to expose secrets, and the Half-Saint in heaven were probably watching him all along.
Moreover, he thought of a question and realized a new Artistic Conception, but he wondered if Senior Xie had yet managed to capture its Great Accomplishment Concept Realm.
Gold Element Mountain.
The mountain's largest Creation Pond was devoured by three Half-step Greater Golden Core cultivators.
Two are from the Aristocratic Family Camp, and one is from the Ancient Aristocratic Family Gu Clan.
It is said that the Gu Clan is wavering and has connections with both factions. However, the outstanding descendants of the Gu Family in the present day are getting closer to the Aristocratic Genius.
Rumors suggest this is a signal from their clan, indicating a possible shift in their allegiance to the powerful families and support for this side.
At this moment, Gu Shuo, the strongest hero of the Gu Family in the current generation, suddenly opened his eyes. He received a telepathic message, and his expression was somewhat strange.
"What's wrong?"
The Half-step Greater Golden Core standing beside him couldn't help but ask.
Gu Shuo hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have some news here, I don't know if it's good or bad, would you like to hear it?"
"Please speak." The two powerful figures from the aristocratic families were very curious. If this extremely powerful hero from the Gu Clan was hesitant, then the matter must be quite complicated.
Gu Shuo nodded, no longer hesitating, and said, "Jiang Ping is currently Gold Element Mountain."
"What?" The two Half-step Greater Golden Core cultivators from the aristocratic families were taken aback, their bodies trembling.
Jiang Ping has his eye on them?
It should be noted that even a powerful Feng Family was reduced to only one Golden Core Nine Transformations cultivator by them, which speaks volumes about their strength.
Moreover, this happened several days ago.
"This person has monopolized the great fortune that the Feng Family has taken. With his talent, he has most likely broken through to the next level," Gu Shuo pondered.
"The situation is dire. If he really wants to come to the mountaintop, the three of us might not be able to stop him, and there might be bloodshed," said the Half-step Greater Golden Core cultivator from the Zheng Family, his voice trembling.
When Jiang Ping Sixth Turn, he could rival two experts of his caliber. At the Seventh Turn, he forced the noble Direct son of the Feng Family to go into hiding.
If one were to reach the Eighth Turn, wouldn't that be...?
"We need to find help, more people, to gang up on them together; maybe we can take them out."
The Zheng Family's Half-step Greater Golden Core cultivator was about to call for reinforcements, but was stopped.
"No." Gu Shuo shook his head and said, "Even if you have more people, without absolute strength, you can't defeat them in a short time, and you'll alert the powerful experts on the other side."
"Indeed." A powerful member of the Zheng Family sighed, "If Jiang Ping gets help, with his strength, he might just eliminate us."
"What should we do then? We can't just wait for this person to come knocking on our door."
Gu Shuo thought for a moment and said, "You should first inform the Da Wei Saint Son, as well as the hero who was suppressed by Xie Wuji. They are the most likely to break through to the Greater Golden Core. Ask them what they think."
On the same day.
The Fire Element Mountain Aristocratic Family Camp received news that Jiang Ping wife were at Gold Element Mountain, not with the main force.
A group of people were furious and wanted to gang up on someone, but they were stopped; the matter needed to be discussed carefully.
The Shang Family, who Half-step Greater Golden Core, said, "No rush. Going now will most likely result in failing. Wait for my good news."
"It won't be long, just in the next two or three days," the Da Wei Saint Son said, wanting to get revenge and not wanting to be mentioned again as Jiang Ping's background character.
"I'm almost there. I'll definitely reach the Greater Golden Core stage within two days!"
The gloomy young man, Hong Tiange, was filled with murderous intent. He had been suppressed by Xie Wuji for many years and had always harbored resentment. He had long wanted to take action against Jiang Ping, but unfortunately, he was not strong enough before.
Now is the moment he has the best chance to ease his years of resentment.
Shang Family Golden Core's eyes lit up. This man's Great Prison was not in vain; he had accumulated a lot of experience, even faster than him and the Saint Child.
He said:
"In that case, two days later, Hong Tiange will lead the team to give Jiang Ping a surprise, preferably with a fatal blow."
"It's alright if we didn't kill him, but at least we can't let him advance Anran while we make our move."
Then, Hong Tiange flicked his sleeves, displaying an aura of dominance, and began to assign tasks, needing people to cooperate with him.
Late the next night, Mid-Mountain Gold Element Mountain, the Aura Pond was empty, and there was no trace of Yin-Yang Aura around it.
Jiang Ping, on the other hand, was full of vigor and vitality, bathed in the sunlight and rain.
Everything went smoothly, and he made further progress, reaching the Golden Core Nine Transformations realm!
"Truly a great stroke of luck! Refining the Golden Core with such a powerful aura ensures there's no question of an unstable foundation."
Jiang Ping exclaimed in admiration, feeling a sense of profound realization.
Now, his strength has increased dramatically. Because of the purification of his Different Force, which has almost perfectly merged with the general trend, it has become Magic Power, undergoing a qualitative change.
