Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Underwater Waterfall, Acquiring the Legacy
The Golden Core was finally formed.
At this moment, Yang Ji looked at himself.
[Name: Yang Ji]
[Spiritual Root: Medium]
[Lifespan: 63/500]
[Realm: Golden Core Early Stage [One-Pattern Golden Core] (0/1536000)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Ling Water Technique (Low Level), True Rigidity Divine Art (Dao Level)]
[Great Divine Powers: Humanoid Weapon [Volume One] (Great Achievement)]
[Great Divine Powers: Zhou Tian Nuoyi (Minor Achievement)]
[Great Divine Powers: Gui Cang Sword Technique [Dao of Li Sword (Minor Achievement Sword Soul)], [Shocking Sword Dao (Minor Achievement Sword Soul)], [Dao of Xun Sword (Minor Achievement Sword Soul)], [Dao of the Kui Sword (Minor Achievement Sword Soul)]
[Skills: Water Tracing Sword Technique (Perfection), Light Body Skill (Perfection)]
Seeing the cultivation points required for his next realm, Yang Ji couldn't help but be astonished.
Indeed, as Li Changxiao said, with the Nine-Pattern Golden Core, breaking through each pattern requires all the cultivation of the entire Foundation Establishment Realm.
With his current cultivation speed of 120 cultivation points per day, it would take him over three hundred years to reach a Nine-Pattern Golden Core, consuming most of his lifespan.
This rate of cultivation was far from matching Li Changxiao's back in the day.
This was the difference between a Medium Spiritual Root and a Supreme one. Considering this, how much faster could those with a Spiritual Body or Sacred Body cultivate?
However, after entering the Void Refinement Realm, cultivation is important, but the understanding of the Dao is equally crucial.
If one encounters a bottleneck in the Great Dao, even with sufficient cultivation to break through, without enough comprehension of the Dao, there is nothing to be done; they still can't break through.
If Yang Ji wanted to overtake others on a shortcut, it would only be possible after entering the Void Refinement Realm. Before that, he shouldn't even think about it.
Just thinking about needing over three hundred years of hard cultivation to break through to the peak of the Golden Core Realm gave him a headache.
Yet, the joy of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm diluted much of his depression, and the Humanoid Weapon also brought him joy.
After nearly thirty years of hard cultivation, the Humanoid Weapon's first volume was finally nearing perfection.
This body-refining technique was unlike other Great Divine Powers, its slow progression was due not only to the need for comprehension but also because the body had to be tempered and transformed bit by bit.
This kind of cultivation was quite different from the comprehension of the profound mysteries within other Great Divine Powers.
Once the first volume of Humanoid Weapon reached perfection, then he would be qualified to obtain the legacy left by Senior Fu Dongliu under the sea waterfall.
At that time, he would have another foundation to impact the path to immortality.
With this in mind, a brilliant smile couldn't help but emerge on Yang Ji's face.
After briefly experiencing the mysteries of the Golden Core Realm, he resumed his cultivation in an urgent manner.
...
And so, another three years passed in a flash.
On this day, Yang Ji appeared like a golden-armored Buddha, his body radiating a sacred and resplendent golden light.
He suddenly opened his eyes, shooting two beams of golden light, and the golden glow around his body quickly retracted into his body.
Looking at his own palm, a flash of joy crossed his eyes as he said, "The first volume of Humanoid Weapon has finally reached perfection."
He then took out the Radiant Sword, its sharp edge shimmering with intimidating cold light, yet he strikingly slashed it towards his own palm without any protection.
With a "clang," the Radiant Sword struck his arm, sparking a shower of sparks and then was repelled.
There was no injury on the arm, but a large nick had appeared on the blade of the sword.
The Superior Artifact Radiant Sword was actually damaged from the hard contact with the arm.
Seeing such a result, Yang Ji was very satisfied, murmuring to himself, "After reaching perfection in Humanoid Weapon, the entire body is indeed as formidable as a Supreme Magic Artifact. I wonder to what extent can Senior Fu Dongliu's subsequent legacy be cultivated? Could it reach the level of a Dao Device?"
Thinking this, Yang Ji could not help but become impatient, stood up, pushed open the door of the secret chamber, and walked out.
After giving Jian Yuanzi a heads-up, he changed his appearance and flew out of Sword Peak, out of Canglan Sect, heading for the Demon Sea Region.
Now, with the first volume of his technique perfected, he was qualified to obtain the legacy.
After taking a large ship and traveling for a month, he finally arrived at the Demon Sea Region.
Yang Ji didn't linger in other places, heading straight to the underwater waterfall near Wangmeng Island.
A day later, he arrived at the location he once knew well.
After so many years, the underwater waterfall seemed even more natural, with both sides of the rocky walls covered in aquatic plants and moss. Lacking the shooting spiritual light, the waterfall appeared more ordinary.
However, its magnificence, as if "a flying stream falls three thousand feet," had not diminished at all, and the roaring sound of the falling water was still deafening.
After the previous cooperative exploration by the Great Nascent Soul True Monarchs turned out fruitless, they all informed the supremes of their respective sects to come and investigate, but still, nothing was found.
This outcome was within Yang Ji's expectations; after all, such restrictions set up by masters of the Dao were not something that those at the Divinity Transformation level could easily probe.
Suspended above the waterfall, Yang Ji looked down for a while, and seeing no danger signals, he then dived with the flow of the water.
After passing through a damaged Spatial Restriction, with a plop, he once again arrived in the underground world.
The Ancient Qiu Trees and Devil's Mushrooms were startled to see him appear and immediately harbored sneaky thoughts.
Yang Ji glanced at them, smiled lightly, and sent out a wave of his spiritual mind, "You'd better behave yourselves, otherwise, I'll burn you all with a single fire."
In the palm of his hand, the Samadhi True Fire roared into existence.
The intense heat caused the air surrounding him to warp.
