After Lin Chang'sheng swallowed the fourth drop of Jade Spirit Marrow, he discovered that the Golden Core shadow in his Dantian hadn't grown any larger than the size of an egg.

However.

The Golden Core was now entirely golden.

Three patterns appeared on its surface: one fiery red, resembling a flame; one golden streak; and one green stripe!

"I hope that after swallowing this Golden Molding Pill, I'll be able to fully condense my Golden Core!"

Lin Chang'sheng gazed at the egg-sized Golden Core shadow floating in his Dantian, secretly thinking to himself.

He reached for his storage bag, and in that instant, the Golden Molding Pill appeared in his hand.

Lin Chang'sheng stared intently at the Golden Molding Pill, then threw his head back and tossed it into his mouth!

Rumble—!

The moment the Golden Molding Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into an icy surge of medicinal power, sweeping through Lin Chang'sheng's limbs and bones. The medicinal power carried a surge of electricity, stimulating the hidden potential in his entire body!

In this moment.

Lin Chang'sheng felt an array of golden lights flashing through his mind; those rays scattered, seeping into his flesh and nourishing his body, strengthening his divine thought, his soul, and his Eight Extraordinary Meridians!

His divine thought became more tenacious, more powerful, his meridians more resilient, and his bones more solid!

Lin Chang'sheng hurriedly channeled the Primordial Golden Core Soul Suppressing Technique, guiding the golden light and the surge of colossal magical power within him, circulating his energy throughout, and finally gathering it all into the Golden Core shadow within his Dantian.

As Lin Chang'sheng operated the Primordial Golden Core Soul Suppressing Technique, his magical power and the medicinal effect of the Golden Molding Pill seeped bit by bit into the Golden Core within his Dantian.

The Golden Core trembled in the space of his Dantian, radiating bursts of terrifying magical power.

Meanwhile, the Golden Core shadow in Lin Chang'sheng's Dantian gradually solidified into a true Golden Core!

It spun once within his Dantian, releasing waves of overwhelming magical power!

And at the same time.

Because Lin Chang'sheng kept channeling the Primordial Golden Core Soul Suppressing Technique, his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and all the magical power amassed in his Dantian were driven into that forming Golden Core. Its size remained unchanged, but the gold upon it gradually deepened.

It looked even more dazzling!

Lin Chang'sheng tirelessly circulated the Primordial Golden Core Soul Suppressing Technique, refining the vast magical power within his Dantian and fueling his Golden Core.

Right now.

Lin Chang'sheng realized that, due to absorbing the Golden Molding Pill, his Golden Core was now entirely flawless, utterly free of impurities, appearing exquisitely clear and radiant, shining with golden brilliance.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

Within Void Hall, in the Golden Core Area, beside the Spirit Marrow Pool.

Nearly a thousand cultivators sat cross-legged, including more than a hundred Golden Core cultivators and over eight hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Numerous cultivators surrounded the Spirit Marrow Pool, quietly cultivating.

Notably,

Many tremendously gifted Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators had actually managed to condense their Golden Cores here!

Among them were the Beimu Saintess, Shi Hao of Golden Talisman Immortal Sect, Bu Tianzhi—the new prodigy of Yin Yang Hall, Wan Wushuang—the peerless talent of Celestial Demon Sect, and Nie Xiangyuan of Corpse King Sect!

...

"I've finally condensed my Golden Core!"

Lin Chang'sheng looked into his Dantian at the egg-sized Golden Core, satisfaction flashing in his eyes, while at the same time, an immensely powerful, overwhelming aura erupted from his body.

"I never imagined I could open up a hundred-mile Sea of Consciousness in the Golden Core Stage... This truly is the Refining God Skill!"

Lin Chang'sheng marveled at his powerful divine sense and the hundred-mile Sea of Consciousness he'd cultivated in his mind, his eyes filled with shock.

At the Peak of Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, Lin Chang'sheng's divine sense could cover a radius of 1,100 miles!

Now,

His divine sense had increased tenfold, enough to envelop a ten-thousand-mile range!

And he had actually developed a hundred-mile consciousness sea!

According to what he'd read in sect records, usually one could open the Sea of Consciousness only after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, he didn't know how large the Sea of Consciousness would be for other Nascent Soul cultivators; after all, in Liuyun Immortal Sect, he'd never ascended to the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core floors of the Scripture Pavilion, so he knew little about the matters of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"So this is a Flawless Golden Core?"

Lin Chang'sheng felt that his body was now incredibly light and nimble; when channeling the Primordial Golden Core Soul Suppressing Technique, his speed was astonishingly swift—his magical power circulated at least a hundred times faster than before!

"Hm? Why don't I look for Murong Tian and ask him?"

A thought flashed across Lin Chang'sheng's mind as he suddenly recalled someone.

It was none other than Murong Tian, whom he'd refined into the hundred-thousand Soul Refining Banners—a prodigy of the sect and contemporary of Liuyun Immortal Sect's Sect Leader, Su Changkong.

He was sure to know.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Chang'sheng summoned the hundred-thousand Soul Refining Banners; with a quick technique, a thin soul phantom hovered before him.

"Junior Murong Tian greets Senior!"

As soon as Murong Tian appeared, he saluted Lin Chang'sheng respectfully with cupped hands.

"Murong Tian, let me ask you—do you know how large a cultivator's Sea of Consciousness can be after advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage?" Lin Chang'sheng looked to Murong Tian and asked.

"Senior, I once read in the sect's records that after a cultivator advances to the Nascent Soul Stage, they'll open the Sea of Consciousness; the range depends on the strength of the cultivator's divine sense. Typically, the Sea of Divine Consciousness is about a hundred miles."

Murong Tian bowed respectfully as he spoke.

Suddenly, his expression froze; he stared in shock, eyes wide in amazement. "Senior, could it be that you…"

Murong Tian knew well that opening the Sea of Divine Consciousness was usually only possible after advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm. Being asked about this by Lin Chang'sheng… Did it mean he'd already entered the Nascent Soul Realm? Impossible, right?

He remembered that Senior had only been at Foundation Establishment Layer Seven not long ago—how could he have ascended to Nascent Soul Stage so soon?

"Nothing that exaggerated; I've just broken through to Golden Core, but managed to open the hundred-mile Sea of Divine Consciousness, so I wanted to ask you about it!"

Lin Chang'sheng answered blandly.

"Senior, are you saying you've just reached Golden Core, but have already opened a hundred-mile Sea of Divine Consciousness?"

Upon hearing Lin Chang'sheng's words, Murong Tian's eyes suddenly widened, his face incredulous.

"Yes, I'm not sure myself, so I figured I'd ask you!"

Lin Chang'sheng nodded and replied.

"Congratulations, Senior, on breaking through to Golden Core—your cultivation has reached new heights!"

"To have divine sense in the Golden Core Early Stage rivaling those in the Nascent Soul Stage… Senior, your talent far surpasses even Jiang Yukun, the strongest Golden Core in over three hundred years!"

Murong Tian's soul respectfully saluted Lin Chang'sheng.

At this moment, his heart was in utter turmoil.

"Hm? So many old acquaintances from the Foundation Establishment Area have arrived?"

Lin Chang'sheng's formidable divine sense swept across in an instant, covering ten thousand miles of the Golden Core Area. He saw that, right above his location on the Earth Spirit Vein and beside the Spirit Marrow Pool, many familiar faces had gathered!

Yu Lingfei, Zhuo Yijian, Fu Qingyu, Tu Yunfei, Mu Yunfeng—all were here!

What's more surprising, that purple-clad maiden he once spanked in a brothel in the secular world of the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm was also present—and had already condensed her Golden Core!

"Cao De, this guy broke through and condensed his Golden Core too? He's really that fast?"

Lin Chang'sheng's gaze flickered; he spotted Cao De—the short-mustached man with a fondness for other people's wives—also sitting in cultivation by the Spirit Marrow Pool.

"Ziyue reached Peak Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer as well? Not bad! No wonder—she has dual spirit roots!"

Lin Chang'sheng saw Gao Ziyue too.

He noticed that Yu Lingfei, Zhuo Yijian, and Fu Qingyu all were at the Foundation Establishment Peak, and nearby were several Golden Core cultivators, as well as Li Jiantang and Ji Ruyan—the Golden Core experts from Liuyun Immortal Sect!

"Murong Tian, you've helped me a lot by following at my side. Ji Ruyan is here too; I'll let you see her later—that will fulfill my promise to you."

Lin Chang'sheng looked at Murong Tian before him and spoke indifferently.
