Golden Core Late Stage

It's common for human cultivators and Demon Beast to form contracts and become partners. Sang Ying has seen many such cases during her years of travel.

However, Cang Lian has now undergone tribulation and become a dragon, and is no longer considered Demon Beast, so those contracts are not applicable to him.

Fortunately, Gu Shu can help resolve this matter.

"Gu Wangchuan once also made a contract with a phoenix!" he suddenly exclaimed, "He was lucky, actually witnessing the phoenix's demise and even managing to save its egg."

"Out of gratitude for Gu Wangchuan saving her child, and in order to secure a way for her child's survival, the phoenix taught Gu Wangchuan the method to form Soul Contract, binding him to the phoenix egg."

Taking this opportunity, Gu Shu passed on the contract law stored in his mind to Sang Ying.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuoxue asked curiously, "You were just a Sword Qi back then, how could you still have these memories?"

"Of course this isn't my memory!" Gu Shu said bluntly. "This is the sword spirit's memory. Gu Wangchuan nurtured a consciousness in his sword, which then gave birth to a sword spirit. When that scoundrel separated me, the sword spirit was worried that I would dissipate too soon, so she gave me a part of her memories."

Therefore, even though he can no longer remember what the sword spirit looks like, he can still remember those scenes that belong to others and that he has hidden deep inside.

Jiang Zhuoxue narrowed his eyes; he noticed that this Sword Qi seemed to be becoming less and less afraid of him.

"In that case, let's not waste any more time!" Cang Lian urged, eager to form a contract with Sang Ying so that he could legitimately stay in the group.

At this moment, Sang Ying had drawn out the two huge contract formations just as Gu Shu.

Shrinking to the thickness of an arm, Cang Lian and Sang Ying simultaneously stepped onto the formation, and the intricate patterns beneath their feet instantly lit up.

At this moment, Sang Ying could only be thankful that she had set up an isolation array in the courtyard early on; otherwise, if such a strange phenomenon were to spread, who knows how many people would be prying into it.

The light from the formation grew brighter and brighter, gradually changing from white to gold.

When the light reached its peak, even Jiang Zhuoxue could no longer see what was happening inside the formation.

They could only feel the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Gathering Formation constantly flowing towards Sang Ying and the other person, and there was even a faint tendency for tribulation clouds to gather in the sky.

Jiang Zhuoxue frowned. He had made Sang Ying form a contract with Cang Lian, not so that she would be struck by lightning!

He flicked his tail, wondering how many lightning strikes a dragon without its scales could withstand.

Fortunately, the calamity clouds dissipated quickly.

The light from the array gradually dimmed, and when the two of them returned to everyone's sight, Jiang Zhuoxue and the others saw a golden pattern slowly appear between Sang Ying and Cang Lian's brows before disappearing.

This signifies the success of the contract, implying that Heavenly Dao has acknowledged the relationship between the two.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuoxue finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But he soon realized that he had let his guard down too soon.

Because in the blink of an eye, Cang Lian transformed from a dragon into a tall man dressed in white, while Sang Ying still did not open her eyes, and the aura around her became increasingly chaotic.

This unusual behavior immediately caught Jiang Zhuoxue's attention. "What's wrong with her?!"

Gu Shu, who was hooked by Jiang Zhuoxue's tail, was also dumbfounded. He had no memory of this at all!

Cang Lian, having transformed back into human form, promptly explained, "We signed a contract and received a boost of Spiritual Qi in return. Sang Ying's Spiritual Qi helped me recover from all my injuries, allowing me to return to human form. But I have a little too much Spiritual Qi..."

A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his handsome face.

Jiang Zhuoxue lowered her eyes. "A little bit, how much?"

"Cough, just the difference Golden Core Early Stage and Golden Core Late Stage..." Cang Lian chuckled.

For a moment, even Gu Shu didn't know what to say. Originally, Sang Ying only planned to settle down in the next few days before starting her attempt to break through to the Middle Golden Core, but Cang Lian's actions had caused her to jump directly to the Golden Core Late Stage!

However, after Cang Lian's reminder, Gu Shu also recalled some past events that he had overlooked, "It seems there is such a saying that after the contract was formed, Gu Wangchuan's cultivation level also increased by one level, but that little phoenix was directly fed back until it hatched!"

As for what happened later, when Gu Wangchuan was forced to act as both father and mother to take care of the cubs, there's no need to go into details.

Jiang Zhuoxue helplessly covered her eyes with her tail, slowly calming her heart, which had almost been frightened.

While everyone was talking, the Spiritual Qi of the entire main city was stirred up, breaking through the array restrictions in the courtyard and surging towards Sang Ying.

This situation was quite unusual in Jiang Zhuoxue's eyes, since no cultivator would cause such a commotion simply by raising their cultivation level by a few ranks.

But Gu Shu thought this was normal, "Don't worry, she's had many unexpected breakthroughs in her cultivation, and this happens all the time. I'm used to it."

He was used to it, but Jiang Zhuoxue wasn't. After all, he had missed the scene when Sang Ying Core Formation again because he was unconscious.

This time, the disturbance of Spiritual Qi was far greater than that in White Foothill City. Even Jimo Qing, who was far away on the other side of the main city, noticed something was wrong.

"What happened outside? Has some extraordinary treasure appeared in the world?" Such fluctuations in Spiritual Qi can probably only be compared to the appearance of an extraordinary treasure.

But soon, someone came to report to Jimo Qing, "No, young master, I heard that it was a Golden Core cultivator on the other side of the main city who made the commotion by advancing to the next level."

Jimo Qing put down the pen he was writing to his father, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Even his advancement is so extraordinary, could he be some powerful figure? Go out and inquire about him, and tell me all the information you have about him."

The person outside, having received instructions, immediately went out to investigate.

Not only Jimo Qing, but many families in the main city are trying to find out about Sang Ying's whereabouts, including Mara Gate.

Fortunately, the surrounding Spiritual Qi gradually calmed down after a short while, which also indicated that Sang Ying was already a cultivator in the Golden Core Late Stage.

She slowly walked out of the formation, feeling the unprecedented surge of Spiritual Qi within her body, and a sense of longing grew stronger in her heart.

If the power of the Golden Core Realm is already so extraordinary, then what is it like to Nascent Soul, the Spirit Transformation, the Soul Formation... and even ascension?

If Sang Ying chose to become stronger in the past because she refused to submit to fate, then at this moment, she felt the allure of power and longed to ascend even more.

"I should go and see Ten Thousand Daos Born." Sang Ying silently made up her mind. She should listen to the teachings of her senior so that she could go further on her future path!

Jiang Zhuoxue did not miss Sang Ying's subtle changes, but he had to admit that a woman who so clearly pursued power seemed to give him an irrepressible joy.

However, this female cultivator, who was already difficult to seduce, will probably be even harder to please in the future.

Jiang Zhuoxue felt rather helpless.

A note from the author:

Jiang Zhuoxue: The first thing this once-powerful Devil Dragon did upon entering Aristocratic Clan family wasn't revenge, but rather to search for the following books: "On How to Make a Sword Cultivator's Heart Flutter," "One Hundred and Eight Ways to Become a Sword dao companion," and "Today, Does the Sword Cultivator Love You More or the Sword?"

Sang Ying (hugging Floating River): Thanks for the invitation. I already have a wife, and there may be more in the future.
