CHAPTER 678: Late Golden Core
“Boom!”
As the Primordial Spirit returned to the physical body, the spiritual pressure quickly restored to nearly its original level.
An invisible wave spread outwards, stirring up clouds of dust.
In the next moment, Liu Yu opened his eyes, a flash of divine light flickering past.
The brand new content of the ninth layer of the qingyang skill flowed through his mind in an instant.
The content derived from the original framework of the technique, infused with his various speculations and insights, as well as the knowledge of cultivating immortality he had accumulated over the years.
Comparing it with the original tenth layer of the qingyang skill, it was a comprehensive deduction.
At this moment, Liu Yu felt it was already close to "perfect."
It encompassed all his current knowledge of cultivating immortality, as well as various speculations, ideas, and insights, leaving no room for even the slightest improvement.
More importantly, because the deduced process had a reference from the original technique, the difficult hurdle of fragmented core birth was also resolved, without affecting the subsequent cultivation of realms.
After breaking through to the yuan ying realm, even cultivating the original technique's tenth layer would face no obstacles!
"To imagine the scenery of a high realm with a low realm's perspective is simply foolish!"
"The path after the yuan ying realm should be planned after I condense my yuan ying."
"Even if I deduce the technique now, it would probably be full of flaws when viewed later."
His gaze collected, returning to an unremarkable state; various thoughts about the future of the technique flitted through Liu Yu's mind.
Sometimes, overthinking was not a good thing.
As he walked this path, he had now stood on the third step of the immortal path.
Looking back at the previous two realms, imagining the scenes of the golden core realm now seemed so naive and ridiculous.
At that time, he could not imagine the power and strangeness of the divine ability "withered," nor the various taboos surrounding the cultivation of "golden core," nor the differences in the essence of life.
Fortunately, backed by the sect, after forming the golden core, he immediately gained relevant knowledge, avoiding errors in cultivation.
Many talented loose cultivators toiled hard to form their golden cores, only to encounter issues in subsequent cultivation.
Lacking inheritance led to missteps, resulting in severed paths—a lamentable situation.
Thus, even though Liu Yu possessed an Immortal Abode and could rely on his powerful deduction ability to "observe" the subsequent path, he used it with utmost caution.
He dared not be blindly arrogant, nor did he dare to imagine everything too beautifully.
“Tap, tap.”
Feeling the surging and active magical power in his dantian, he rose and left the practice room.
He planned to bathe and burn incense before having a good sleep, awaiting the moment when his state reached its peak to officially begin his breakthrough.
...
Two days and two nights later, in the practice room.
Liu Yu reached his peak state, sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion, doing the final adjustment.
Thoughts of the Central Domain's situation and the old matters of Tian Nan subsided, leaving only the four words "breakthrough realm," as he gradually entered an ethereal state.
“It’s time.”
A thought flashed in Liu Yu's mind, and his hands immediately moved, slowly forming the spell gesture.
In the next moment, the technique "qingyang skill" roared into operation, and his garments fluttered without wind.
“Boom!!”
Like a substantial spiritual pressure, it emanated from his body, stirring small clouds of dust.
As the spell gesture was formed, the green golden core in his dantian slowly halted, then began to spin at a speed several times greater than usual.
Meanwhile, the "lake water" of the Lake of Magical Power also stirred, rapidly flowing into the meridians, commencing a great circulation.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
