Guided by the Innate Realm artifact he carried, the gray-robed man flew along.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he stopped.
"Your Excellency, why have we stopped? This is Jizhou, and Cangzhou is still ahead."
The person at the Innate Realm asked with some confusion.
After this period of adjustment, his fear of heights has lessened considerably, and he speaks much more fluently.
"No need, I already know where it is. You may leave," the gray-robed man said calmly.
After saying that, he pushed the Innate Realm martial artist in his hand downwards.
"Ah! Your Excellency, spare my life!"
The cultivator at the Innate Realm was suddenly terrified. Feeling his body steadily declining, his fear reached its peak. He flailed his arms and legs and screamed wildly.
Just when he thought he was going to fall to his death, suddenly, a force descended upon him, dissipating most of his downward momentum.
In the end, he only ended up with a bruised and swollen face, but he didn't turn into a bloody mess.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for sparing my life! Thank you, Your Excellency, for sparing my life!"
The person who had survived the ordeal, disregarding his injuries, immediately kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude.
But when he looked up again, the gray-robed man was nowhere to be seen in the sky.
"The fluctuations from the secret realm, are they over there?"
After throwing the Innate Realm expert to the ground, the gray-robed man left.
He gazed in a certain direction, sensing the faint fluctuations of the secret realm's gate.
That day, my junior brother perished because he learned of a newly opened secret realm and wanted to explore and seize it.
Therefore, his death is definitely related to that secret realm.
The gray-robed man moved with incredible speed, and soon he arrived above a valley, looking down at the entrance to the black vortex.
"Is this the place? I can sense that my junior brother has been here before."
...
"This Golden Core realm is truly profound, vast and mysterious, far exceeding my imagination."
At the Lu family residence, Lu Qing opened his eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment.
At this moment, the jade slip in his hand had disappeared.
At this moment, he not only downloaded and simulated all the jade slips left by the white-robed youth, but also read and studied them.
He even roughly studied the Great Dao chapter that was bestowed before the Heavenly Tribulation vortex dissipated.
Among them, the jade slip left by the white-robed youth contained records of several cultivation techniques and some secret spells.
Unfortunately, those techniques were all water-based, and their highest level could only be cultivated to the Golden Core stage.
There is no higher level.
Lu Qing guessed that this was probably a restriction imposed by the sect of the white-robed youth. At each stage, disciples could only exchange for the cultivation techniques and incantations corresponding to their level, in order to prevent the entire cultivation technique from being leaked due to an accident involving a disciple.
It was this enlightenment that made Lu Qing realize that the Golden Core Realm was far more profound and mysterious than he had imagined.
The Golden Core is divided into four grades. In terms of fundamentals, the Golden Core of the Golden Core realm is divided into four grades: upper, middle and lower grades, as well as the perfect Golden Core.
In terms of realm, the Golden Core realm is further divided into nine levels, known as the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core.
With each breakthrough, the Golden Core of Mana undergoes a transformation, resulting in a surge in mana and a significant increase in the power of the Golden Core.
It can be said that the nine cycles of the Golden Elixir are like climbing a ladder to heaven.
One needs to continuously refine and purify one's own magical power until it reaches its limit, and then break through that limit to cause a qualitative change in order to achieve a breakthrough.
It is difficult to do without great perseverance and willpower.
Moreover, according to the cultivation method described in the jade slip left by the white-robed youth.
The grade of the Golden Core is closely related to the level that one can reach in the Golden Core realm.
Generally speaking, a low-grade Golden Core cultivator can only cultivate to the third stage at most, a mid-grade Golden Core cultivator can cultivate to the sixth stage, and only a high-grade Golden Core cultivator can cultivate to the seventh stage or higher.
Therefore, once a Golden Core Realm expert reaches a bottleneck in their cultivation, they usually try every means to refine their Golden Core and improve its grade.
This is the only way to have a chance to make further breakthroughs.
"Following the cultivation method left behind by the young man in white robes."
Once a cultivator reaches the seventh stage, the 【god】 nurtured within their golden core is powerful enough to challenge the primordial spirit realm.
However, the probability of failure is very high when attempting to break through from the seventh level of cultivation to the primordial spirit realm.
Even if one is lucky enough to successfully overcome the tribulation and achieve the primordial spirit realm, their potential is often limited, and they cannot go far in the primordial spirit realm.
It is very likely that he will perish under the tribulation of the primordial spirit not long after.
Only after reaching the eighth or ninth level of the primordial spirit realm will the probability of breaking through to the primordial spirit realm greatly increase.
After achieving the Primordial Spirit realm, one will have a profound foundation and be able to travel extremely far within it.
Despite countless calamities, it remains indelible, existing since time immemorial.
A variety of feelings arose in Lu Qing's heart.
The white-robed youth, as expected of a cultivator from a great world, possessed a cultivation technique far more refined than the legacy left by the Li Huo Sect.
The explanation of the Golden Core Realm and the division of realms are much more detailed and accurate than the cultivation methods of this world.
It should be noted that both the core inheritance of the Li Huo Sect and the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】 he cultivated.
They simply divide the Golden Core Realm into three levels: Minor Success, Major Success, and Perfection.
There is no detailed cultivation system like the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Elixir.
"However, the cultivation techniques of the white-robed youth's world all regard the ninth stage of the Golden Core realm as the limit of the Golden Core realm."
In fact, the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core is not the limit of the Golden Core realm.
The true limit of the Golden Core realm should be the twelfth stage!
A light appeared in Lu Qing's eyes as she murmured to herself.
He wasn't just imagining things; it was a fact recorded in the Great Dao chapter passed down from the Heavenly Tribulation Vortex.
Before the Heavenly Tribulation vortex dissipated, the Great Dao chapter that was passed on to Lu Qing was specifically about the Golden Core Realm.
There are no specific cultivation methods inside, only a profound and mysterious discourse on the Great Dao that explains the Golden Core realm.
But this profound statement clearly elucidates that.
The Golden Elixir undergoes twelve cycles before reaching the true perfection of the Golden Elixir realm.
However, for a cultivator to break through the limits and advance to the ninth level or higher in the Golden Core realm, only those who have condensed a perfect Golden Core can achieve this.
Other grades of Golden Cores, even top-grade Golden Cores, cannot break the limit of nine.
Therefore, from this perspective, the cultivation methods left behind by the white-robed youth, which regard the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core as the perfect state of the Golden Core realm, are not actually wrong.
After all, a perfect Golden Core is too special; in a world and in an era, only one can appear.
Many cultivation worlds probably have no idea that the perfect golden core exists.
Lu Qing also benefited from numerous opportunities and the assistance of supernatural abilities.
After repeatedly breaking through limits and mastering the Five Elements, he polished the Foundation Establishment realm to perfection, leaving no obstacles whatsoever. Only then, by chance, did he manage to condense this perfect Golden Core.
If he had missed any one of those opportunities, he probably wouldn't have been so lucky.
"However, this means my future cultivation will be much more difficult."
