A Life Between Heaven and Earth Is Like a Traveler Passing Far Away

Unless there are Tier 4 healing pills, it will take a full sixty years to heal before the next breakthrough to the Golden Core realm stage.

Although Lin Qianshu has a relatively long lifespan, she cannot wait for a full sixty years. If she can stabilize the False Core realm, it will be a worthwhile achievement and will increase her chances of breaking through next time.

However, if the False Core realm is not stabilized, then a full sixty years will have been wasted.

She did not Self-Foundation Establishment, and she also used the Violet Sun Jade when she broke through to the Purple Mansion, which made her Law Power Divine Sense less refined and not as sharp as Chen Nianzhi's.

That's why she figured she had no more than a 50% chance of keeping the False Core realm.

She was initially hesitant about whether to break through to the Golden Core realm realm on her own, but now that Golden-Core Formation Pill formation, she made up her mind completely.

As the saying goes, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," and even Low-grade Golden Core can break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

She felt it was better to seize the fortuitous opportunity and break through to the Golden Core realm realm first. Later, when her cultivation was more advanced and her lifespan was longer, she could then consider whether to improve her foundation.

Regardless, Lin Qianshu has now broken through to the False Core realm stage. In thirty years, she will have a 50% chance of reaching the Golden Core realm stage without the aid of external aids, which is a very good result from the current perspective.

Not long after Lin Qianshu broke through to the False Core realm, good news also came from her Lineage.

Chen Xianye broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm, becoming the seventh Purple Mansion cultivator in the Lineage.

Chen Nianzhi had anticipated this. Chen Xianye Self-Foundation Establishment, so he was already 20-30% more likely to break through to the Purple Mansion than ordinary people. Now, he was breaking through to the Purple Mansion for the second time, and both times he forcibly used his Natal Essence Blood to break through. The breakthrough was a natural outcome.

Although this is his second breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, he is only ninety-five years old because he Foundation Establishment early.

A 95-year-old Purple Mansion cultivator, who broke through to the Purple Mansion on his own, is still considered a top genius among the Nascent Soul Clan, although he cannot compare to Chen Nianzhi who broke through to the Purple Mansion at the age of 63.

Suppressing his thoughts, Chen Nianzhi walked out of the Seclusion Chamber and found that Ya Ya had been waiting for him for a long time.

Ya Ya glanced at him, then said with a hint of surprise, "Uncle, you're out of seclusion!"

"Hmm, my cultivation can be considered complete. I need to calm my mind and clear my head to prepare for the Purple Mansion Late Stage."

Chen Nianzhi said calmly that years of seclusion had left him somewhat mentally exhausted, and that attempting to break through to a higher realm at this time would affect his condition.

He planned to rest and recuperate until his True Essence was fully developed before breaking through the threshold of the Purple Mansion Late Stage stage in one go.

Ya Ya nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "There's something I should tell you."

"Hmm?" Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. "What's wrong?"

"Aunt Qingwan returned the Yi-Wood Crystal."

"Nonsense."

Chen Nianzhi's expression changed slightly. With a flick of her long sleeves, she stepped forward and flew away on her sword to Qingyuan Mountain.

As soon as he landed on Qingyuan Mountain, he found Chen Qingwan, who was cultivating.

Upon seeing Chen Qingwan, he couldn't help but ask, "Qingwan, I heard you returned the Yi-Wood Crystal to the clan treasury?"

"Think of it..."

Chen Qingwan shook her head and quickly said, "You don't need to persuade me, my mind is made up."

Chen Nianzhi sighed; he understood Chen Qingwan's thoughts.

This time, Chen Qingwan was preparing to break through to the Purple Mansion Purple Mansion. It would be her third attempt. She had used two Five Elements Crystal the previous two times, but she still failed to break Purple Mansion.

The two consecutive failures filled Chen Qingwan with immense guilt, as she felt she had wasted the Lineage's resources, and thus she was unwilling to use the third Five Elements Crystal.

Seeing his expression, Chen Qingwan smiled and comforted him, "I know you're worried about me, but I've already broken through 80% of my Purple Mansion Dao Meridian. Even without the Yi-Wood Crystal, I'm still 60-70% confident of breaking through to the Purple Mansion this time."

"There are many people in the Lineage who need this item, so there's no need to waste another Five Elements Crystal on me."

"Foolish."

Chen Nianzhi shook her head, but still slipped a Yi-Wood Crystal over.

He knew that Chen Qingwan was too gentle and mild-mannered, not as persevering as Nianchuan, not as daring as Xian Ye, and not as determined as Xian Yan.

This kind of personality is fine for normal cultivation, but when breaking through to a higher realm, it ultimately lacks a certain tenacity. If it weren't for the use of the Yi-Wood Crystal, it's possible that it wouldn't be able to withstand the Fleshly Body Ordeal.

Fearing that Chen Qingwan might not use the Yi-Wood Crystal, he repeatedly urged her, "Aunt Qingwan, you are already over 170 years old, and there is no time to delay any longer."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Uncle Qing Hao. There are only two of you left in the Qing Generation of the Lineage."

"..."

Life between heaven and earth is like that of a traveler on a long journey.

Chen Qingwan stood quietly for a long time before she suddenly woke up.

It turns out that Chen Nianzhi is already 140 years old, and the next Beast Turmoil is just around the corner.

The voices and smiles of a hundred years ago seem to be right before my eyes. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed. One by one, the Lineage cultivators of the Qing Generation have gone far away, and now only two remain.

"..."

Chen Nianzhi left Qingyuan Mountain and flew to Peaceful Sun City.

In Peaceful Sun City, he met the Old Clan Leader.

The Old Clan Leader has broken through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, and now he looks even younger.

He is only 240 years old now, and his cultivation has already broken through to the Seventh Purple Mansion Layer. It seems that he will be able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion when he is about 270 years old, at which time he will be able to make his first attempt to Core Formation.

While this cultivation speed cannot compare to that of a peerless genius like Yan Ziji, it is still considered very fast.

Yan Ziji was a prodigy with Heavenly Spirit Root. She reached the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion in her early 100s. She failed to break through to the Golden Core realm realm for the first time, but she managed to stabilize herself at the False Core realm realm.

Without relying on any external aids, she cultivated herself for sixty years and then broke through to the Golden Core realm realm at the age of about one hundred and eighty.

Cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root are indeed superior; even without external aids, they have a 40% chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm realm, and can even increase their chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul by 20%.

Upon Chen Nianzhi, the Old Clan Leader calmly poured him a cup of tea. "You went to see her?"

"Hmm." Chen Nianzhi nodded and sighed, "Aunt Qingwan's mind has softened a bit; I'm afraid she'll have difficulty breaking through to the Golden Core realm realm in the future."

The Old Clan Leader shook his head calmly and said indifferently, "The Golden Core realm realm isn't so easy to achieve."

"For her to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm is already a dream come true. Among the dozens of cultivators of the Qing Generation, many have stronger willpower and courage than her, but how many can compare to her?"

Hearing him say that, Chen Nianzhi felt a slight tremor in her heart.

Whether it's Great Elder older generation of the Lineage, such as Chen Changyan, or the Second Elder clan uncles of the Qing Generation, Chen Qingxu Chen Qinghe, their perseverance and courage far surpass those of Chen Qingwan.

If they had lived to this day, they might have gone much further than Chen Qingwan.

But when cultivators are on their way, there are no "what ifs." In the end, Chen Qingwan was just the right age to have received those two Foundation-Building Pill and come this far.

Chen Changxuan brewed a pot of tea for Chen Nianzhi and handed it to him.

He was calm. Having lived for over two hundred years, he had long been accustomed to life and death and had grown used to it all.

"When you break through to the Golden Core realm or even the Nascent Soul realm, you will understand that the cultivators in your clan will eventually drift further and further away."

"Whether it's Xian Yan, Qing Hao, or even this old man, we are all nothing more than withered bones in a tomb."

"The one who will stay with you until the end is probably that one, right?"
