Chapter 426: Chapter 424: Non-stop Golden Core

“Hiss! Earth Essence Pill, Ying…Sister, you are really willing to invest so much in Zhong Lin?”

Wu Hong stared wide-eyed at the two elixirs Ying Ju took out.

“Willing, willing, you must be willing to give to gain. I believe in Zhong Lin, and I’m naturally willing to invest. Remember, adding flowers on brocade will never match giving coal in the snow.” Ying Ju said.

The Earth Essence Pill is an elixir famed across the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, crafted by the Eighth Grade Alchemist Ying He True Inheritor, and it’s divided into three levels: Heavenly Essence, Earth Essence, and Human Origin.

Heavenly Essence is a Divine Pill, transcendental, the culmination of nine transformations into pure white snow. It is said to revive the soul, ascend to immortality, and manipulate creation, with one appearing only once every few thousand years.

This type of elixir only exists in theory, and Ying He True Inheritor hasn’t successfully crafted it. Otherwise, she would already have been promoted to a Ninth-Grade Alchemist.

Earth Essence is a Spirit Pill, using substances as a medium, gathering the qi of heavens, earth, sun, and moon, harmonizing them to manifest tangible forms.

With nine transformations becoming a red-green hue, consuming it results in Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, the Five Qi returning to the origin, a return to the Innate, with progress in Taoism, ranked as an Eighth Grade Elixir. It is an unparalleled treasure even among the many great sects of the Holy Lands.

Human Origin, on the other hand, is a common elixir in the cultivation world, also called the Great Pill, formed by refining medicinal stones, lead, and mercury, transforming into navy-blue after nine processes, ranked as Sixth Grade.

It is by relying on the Human Origin and Earth Essence elixirs that Ying He True Inheritor has secured an unshakeable foothold in Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.

Ying Ju’s rapid cultivation progress owes greatly to these two elixirs, an undeniable merit.

Wu Hong never expected Ying Ju to take out two Earth Essence Pills to assist Zhong Lin directly, mainly because the value of these two elixirs far exceeded the usual investment.

As the two Earth Essence Pills flowed in, the Xuandan in Zhong Lin’s Dantian began to condense again, albeit not as exaggeratedly as the first time, as there was already a foundation, it was merely a remolding.

Boom!

A flash of golden light burst forth, becoming more and more brilliant, eventually enveloping Zhong Lin’s physique, resembling a great sun shining in the sky.

“No… Immortal Golden Core, how can this be? Zhong Lin previously formed a Second Grade elixir, and now with the aid of the Nirvana Fruit, he has actually condensed an Immortal Golden Core.”

Wu Hong was almost bug-eyed, stammering as he spoke, his face full of incredulity.

Ying Ju broke into a light smile, gradually expanding into a wild laugh echoing across the entire Heavenly Sword Peak.

Not just the two of them, the outer disciples who hadn’t left were all staring, dumbfounded like they had seen a ghost, at the brilliantly illuminated Zhong Lin.

“I… am not seeing things, am I? Immortal Golden Core, pinch me.”

“Hiss! It really hurts, it’s not a dream, it’s real.”

“Immortal Golden Core, it’s actually an Immortal Golden Core, this is a supreme foundation, with the potential to step into the legendary Sealing King Realm.”

“No wonder Senior Brother Zhong Lin defeated many prodigies from the Talented Roster in a dark horse fashion and seized the championship. He had long forged a Second Grade Xuandan, no wonder.”

“I recall that among the Five Great Saint Heirs, only the First Saint Heir has condensed an Immortal Golden Core, the other four have achieved Second Grade. Does this mean Senior Brother Zhong Lin is the Sixth Saint Heir?”

“It’s also possible he’s the Seventh Saint Heir, don’t forget Sister Ying Ju.”

“The Nirvana Fruit can be a reward for the Outer Sect disciple competition. While it’s precious, it’s not unattainable. Why haven’t other Saint Heirs used the Nirvana Pill to enhance their Xuandan grade?”

“Nonsense, the Nirvana Fruit is exceedingly precious, even the Sect possesses very few. Moreover, to remold the Xuandan foundation, one must be in the Xuandan Realm. Xuandan being formed of the essence, energy, and spirit, also marks the limit of human potential. If the Yin Evil qi is invoked, the foundation becomes fixed and irre-moldable, and disciples in the Xuandan Realm mostly belong to the Outer Sect, so they must reveal their talent while still in the Outer Sect to receive a Nirvana Fruit, else once advancing to the Yin Yang Realm, it becomes impossible.”

“I see, thanks for the clarification, Senior Brother.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”

“Tsk, tsk, surely the Elders of the Elder Hall have also been alarmed!”

Buzz!

Suddenly, in the void dozens of miles away, a massive ripple arose, as if the space turned into a water surface, and a True Dragon would break through.

The airflow, pushed by endless ripples, swirled up into a massive air current layer spanning several hundred thousand miles in the high sky.

The world suddenly darkened.

Rumble!

Under the intense shock of everyone, a gigantic hand as white as jade emerged from the void.

That hand had no hair, no pores, and was sleek as jade, as if a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain range were stretching across the sky.

Covering the sky and blocking the sun, terrifying beyond compare.

At this moment, Zhong Lin also slowly opened his eyes, feeling the flawless Xuandan in his Dantian, with a rare smile appearing on his lips.

Immortal Golden Core.

Xuandan of Ninth Grade, only reaching First Grade can be called a Golden Core, also named Immortal Golden Core.

Golden nature is immortal, primordially unified.

Being able to condense an Immortal Golden Core signifies forging a supreme foundation, be it one’s spiritual origin or potential, far beyond what a Xuandan can compare to.

In the past, the Taoist also regarded the golden nature as the root of immortality and indestructibility, something akin to a Daluo.

Zhong Lin’s Immortal Golden Core naturally could not be compared to the legendary Daluo Golden Immortal, but merely touching upon it sufficiently displays a supreme profoundness.

Before Zhong Lin could celebrate, he felt the sky darken.

Instinctively raising his head, he saw a massive hand descending from above, the five fingers resembling towering mountain peaks, an overwhelmingly terrifying power spreading across the heavens.

No wind flows, no clouds move, within tens of thousands of miles, it seemed like the light was frozen in mid-air.

“Haha, my good disciple, quickly enter your master’s trap.”

A voice, exuberant to the extreme, accompanied the appearance of the large hand, filled with cheer and excitement.

“Scoundrel, stop!”

“Xi Xuan, release your hand, you scoundrel!”

“Old villain, you infuriate me.”

Angry shouts came from the void, akin to divine decrees, resonating throughout the heavens, echoing across tens of thousands of miles.

Mighty and majestic, piercing through clouds.

“Haha, you’re too late, I’m off.”

Whoosh!

The void quivered slightly, the towering massive hand vanished, then clouds shifted, wind flowed, as though everything before was an illusion, but Zhong Lin’s figure on the stage was also gone.

Ying Ju was stunned by the scene, especially by the terrifying massive hand, which abruptly calmed his heart, previously restless due to reaching the Nirvana Realm.

“Is this the horror of a Sealing King Realm expert? Just a single hand…”

“Ying Ju, was that just now Elder Xi?”

Wu Hong’s face was somewhat pale, clearly also shaken by the overwhelming aura.

Ying Ju turned to pat Wu Hong’s shoulder, half-smiling: “Good eyes, don’t forget to go back and inform the Third Saint. I’m curious to see how he plans to handle it; Elder Xi personally stepping in to accept Zhong Lin as a disciple, tsk, I wonder if the Third Saint can manage?”

Wu Hong shuddered violently.
