Light-Splitting Shadow-Condensing Sword Art

The one from the Azuregreen Immortal Sect who appeared was an unfamiliar Golden Core realm. Upon arrival, he offered Chen Nianzhi a toast, saying, "My Daoist name Ming Wu. I am only able to break through to the Golden-Core Formation Pill Core realm thanks to your help in forming my Golden Core realm."

"My master, the Taiwu True Person, is truly unable to attend today, so I, a humble Daoist, will offer my congratulations on his behalf. I hope you will not take offense, fellow Daoist."

"Ming Wu, you're too kind."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and drank a cup of spirit wine as a gesture of hospitality.

In addition to the three Golden Core realm cultivators added from the Chu Kingdom and the Azuregreen Mountains, the Yan Kingdom also gained one Golden Core realm cultivator.

This person was named Zhang Yuanxu. After the Deng Clan was destroyed, Zhang Yuanxu obtained part of the Deng Clan's inheritance and broke through to the Golden Core realm realm in one fell swoop, even forging a Middle-grade Golden Core.

After breaking through to the Golden Core realm, Zhang Yuankong's confidence soared. He had originally intended to ask the Chen Clan for Six Star Island as his training ground, but upon seeing Chen Nianzhi's imposing presence, he quickly suppressed the idea.

Chen Nianzhi and his dao companion were already exceptionally strong, and they also nurtured two Golden Core realm cultivators, Chen Changxuan and Lin Qianshu, with Xu Ganyang as their vanguard.

The Heavenly Ruins Alliance boasts five Golden Core realm cultivators. Among the six kingdoms of the Ji Continent, no more than five Golden Core Immortal Clan can rival them. Naturally, he has no right to challenge them and can only stand aside with a forced smile.

The Golden Core Banquet lasted for three days and three nights before the cultivators Chen Nianzhi had attended gradually dispersed.

After everyone had left, Chen Nianzhi put away her warm smile.

He and Jiang Linglong stood atop Qingyuan Mountain, watching the cultivators gradually disappear, and he calmly said, "After this grand ceremony for advancing to the Golden Core Immortal Clan, we should be able to have some peace and quiet for a while."

"It's really good to have less trouble."

Jiang Linglong nodded, then frowned and said, "After this Golden Core Banquet, we can be considered to have stepped onto the stage of the Ji Continent."

"Can we still hide?"

Chen Nianzhi shook his head and chuckled. Over the years, they had fought countless battles, and their strength had already been exposed to a great extent. Even if they held a low-key Golden Core realm Advancement Hall, it would be impossible to hide it.

Furthermore, advancing to the Golden Core Immortal Clan is a rare event in the entire country, let alone for a powerful Golden Core Immortal Clan like the Chen Clan.

For example, Wei Tianxiong, a top Golden Core Immortal Clan of the Wei Kingdom, even invited more than twenty Golden Core realm cultivators from various countries to a banquet when he broke through to the late Golden Core stage.

In comparison, the Chen Clan has been much more low-key.

This banquet serves two purposes: firstly, to celebrate advancement to the Golden Core Immortal Clan, and secondly, to intimidate all sides, thus securing future benefits, since many resources in various countries are allocated according to strength.

For example, the medium-sized Spirit Stone mine in the Ji Continent was originally jointly occupied by the three major sects. Back then, when Jiang Linglong had just broken through to the Golden Core realm, in order to seize the resources of Azure Sun Mountain, she promised to give the equity of the medium-sized Spirit Stone mine of the Azure Sun Sect to the Purple Abyss Sect and Firmament Sword Sect.

In fact, with Jiang Linglong and Chen Nianzhi's current strength, they are qualified to propose a redistribution of medium-sized Spirit Stone mines. However, in recent years, the resources they have occupied have become increasingly large, and in order to avoid antagonizing the two sects, they have never brought up this matter.

Regardless, demonstrating some strength when necessary can resolve many unnecessary troubles.

The Chen Clan's purpose in holding this banquet was essentially to protect their own interests and deter those with ulterior motives.

After this grand ceremony of advancement to the Golden Core Immortal Clan, their predicament with the two Spirit Vein in the Yan Kingdom will be greatly alleviated, and the situation should be able to stabilize for two cycles of sixty years.

After two cycles of sixty years, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong will have made further progress in their cultivation, and then they will no longer need to worry about those with ulterior motives.

As the prestige of the Chen Immortal Clan increases, the safety of the Chen Clan disciples when they travel will be greatly improved.

After all, even some Rogue Cultivator who are used to killing and robbing would probably not easily offend a powerful Golden Core Immortal Clan.

"..."

After the Golden Core Banquet, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong returned to Spirit Isle Lake.

Life returned to its usual quiet routine. Chen Nianzhi studied the ancient texts while simultaneously working out his own Cultivation Method.

Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye during this deduction, Chen Nianzhi deduced all five Cultivation Method to the Sixth Golden Core Layer.

Moreover, after deducing from the Five-Element Origin Return Scripture to the Sixth Golden Core Layer, Chen Nianzhi's Cultivation Method once again deduced a Divine Ability Divine Ability, which is called the Solar True Fire.

The reason this Divine Ability is still considered Pure Yang Divine Ability is because Chen Nianzhi did it intentionally. The world has suffered from evil spirits for too long, and he developed this Pure Yang Divine Ability to increase his means of dealing with evil spirits in the future.

While deducing the Cultivation Method, Chen Nianzhi spent many years comprehending the Great Divine Ability "Light-Splitting Shadow-Condensing Sword Art," and finally succeeded in cultivating this Divine Ability. After that, he gained an extremely domineering group attack Great Divine Ability.

He paused his deduction of the Cultivation Method after it reached the Sixth Golden Core Layer stage, and smiled as he spoke to Jiang Linglong.

"My Law Power has made considerable progress recently, and it looks like I'm about to break through to the second-layer Golden Core stage stage."

"Alright, I will protect you."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared in Jiang Linglong's eyes.

Cultivation knows no time, especially for high-level cultivators.

Unbeknownst to many, more than fifty years had passed since the second Beast Turmoil, and Chen Nianzhi was now over two hundred years old.

Forty years have passed since he broke through to the Golden Core realm. The advancement of his Life-bound Magical Treasure delayed him for some time, but he has finally reached the threshold of the second-layer Golden Core stage Realm.

There was no bottleneck at the second-layer Golden Core stage. This time, his seclusion was not long, and he broke through to the second-layer Golden Core stage after only seven days.

When he emerged from seclusion, Jiang Linglong smiled and said, "While you were in seclusion, Yu Qingyan rushed over to find you and is waiting for you now."

"Oh."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. "What is it?"

"I didn't ask any further questions," Jiang Linglong smiled slightly, then said, "But it seems there are some matters concerning Heavenly Hut Continent."

Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi nodded, and the two walked together into the reception room.

Yu Qingyan had been waiting for a long time. As soon as she saw Chen Nianzhi arrive, she quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, two patriarchs."

"We've known each other for a century, there's no need for such formalities."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered, and he realized that Yu Qingyan had already broken through to the False Core realm, and it seemed that she had already consumed a Golden-Core Formation Pill.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "It seems you're not far from breaking through to the Golden Core realm stage."

Yu Qingyan possesses the aptitude of the Wind Spirit Root and is only two hundred and sixty years old. She has also inherited part of Lin Daoyang's wealth from the Azure Void Sect. Her chances of breaking through to the Golden Core realm again are probably very high.

Yu Qingyan gave a bitter smile and said, "Six years ago, I exhausted my wealth to sell a Golden-Core Formation Pill to break through to the Golden Core realm realm, but I fell short in the end. Now, I no longer have the Spirit Stone to buy one to try again."

Chen Nianzhi nodded calmly. Although Yu Qingyan had accumulated considerable wealth, she had already used up most of her resources, making it difficult for her to purchase more Golden-Core Formation Pill.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi suppressed her thoughts, poured her a cup of tea, and then asked, "What brings you to see me today?"
