Chapter 564: Breakthrough of True Form
After a long-awaited relaxation of the mind, this slumber was exceptionally refreshing.
Two days and nights later, Liu Yu finally woke up, and his condition in all aspects had recovered well.
“Hmm?!”
Liu Yu suddenly sat up, and the first thing he did was take out the Formation Disk to check if the "Illusory Extinction Triad Formation" had been triggered.
Upon discovering that there were no issues, he finally relaxed.
“It appears that my teammates are fairly honest.”
Liu Yu smiled faintly.
Although the five of them were currently in the same boat, it was clear that they weren’t of one mind.
Once they passed the crucial moment and the crisis was resolved, it was entirely possible for them to turn against each other.
The necessary precautions must be in place; otherwise, one could end up dead in a confusing manner.
After brewing a pot of spiritual tea, Liu Yu sat alone.
In the simple room, he pondered over recent events.
From the arrangements before departure to the potential pursuit by the Royal Court of the Demonic Race, he went over everything carefully.
However, he had little clue about the methods the demonic race would use for pursuit, whether they could pinpoint their movements, and how long the chase would last.
Situated in the Transverse Mountain Range, the initiative was completely out of his hands and in the hands of the demonic race.
“This feeling of not having control over such matters is as unpleasant as ever.”
Liu Yu frowned, but due to his current abilities, he had no good solutions for the time being.
Even with high cultivation, as a human cultivator in the Transverse Mountain Range, he could only choose to lurk.
No matter how high one’s cultivation, could it surpass a fifth-stage demonic cultivator?
Within the demonic race, there were indeed demonic cultivators at the divine transformation realm!
“With my current strength, if I don’t invoke the Sword of Ruin, I’m afraid even a casual encounter with a third-stage pinnacle demonic cultivator would force me to flee.”
Thinking of this, Liu Yu bitterly smiled once again, feeling the lack of power.
That unpleasant feeling of not being able to grasp his own destiny due to insufficient strength resurfaced in his heart.
“It seems it's time for another breakthrough.”
“The cultivation at the Golden Core Early Stage is still somewhat lacking within the Transverse Mountain Range.”
“Even with a ninth-grade golden core, due to cultivation limits, it's hard to exert much power.”
As this thought flashed through his mind, Liu Yu touched his storage bracelet, and a jade box appeared on the table.
This jade box was deep blue, made of high-quality spiritual jade, effectively preventing the loss of spiritual energy from spiritual objects.
Just this jade box for storing spiritual objects cost four to five hundred spiritual stones, equivalent to a high-grade magical artifact, a sum that most low-level cultivators could hardly imagine.
Coupled with a high-grade spiritual sealing talisman, the blue jade box could preserve a spiritual object for hundreds of years, maintaining its effectiveness.
“Creak~”
As spiritual pressure rubbed against the box, a faint sound emerged, and Liu Yu gently opened the jade box, revealing the spiritual object within.
This object was a light golden color, enveloped in a faint golden light, roughly the size of an orange and quite small.
Its exterior resembled the scales of a demonic beast, appearing as individual scale shapes.
It was indeed the Golden Scale Fruit!
“Not bad.”
Looking at the Golden Scale Fruit, a smile appeared on Liu Yu's face.
Currently, both his body refinement and qi refinement had reached the peak of the Golden Core Early Stage.
However, due to the short time and the lack of suitable spiritual objects for qi refinement, it would still take a few years to reach the Golden Core Mid Stage.
In contrast, the body refinement could be directly achieved through the Golden Scale Fruit.
This object could allow a Golden Core cultivator who had not undergone body refinement to refine for a short period and meet the minimum requirements to condense the yuan ying.
