Chapter 513: 231~232: 1800 Lifetimes, New Skill, White Hairs Settling Accounts_1 Chapter 513: 231~232: 1800 Lifetimes, New Skill, White Hairs Settling Accounts_1 About a dozen days later, it was the season of continuous spring rain.
Each mountaintop of the Longevity Sect was shrouded in mist that resembled wisps of smoke.
Shadowy and faint, it was as beautiful and soft as an ink wash painting, creating an atmosphere of peace that was reminiscent of a southern water town.
Suddenly, an oppressive golden halo filled with immense pressure tore through the wispy mist and shot through the air at an incredible speed.
This force ripped a hole in the trail of mist, seemingly dividing the curtain of rain completely.
About a dozen breaths later.
In a nearby forest, a demonic beast that was hunting was suddenly startled.
...
It collapsed to the ground, its limbs going limp, and it issued mournful cries.
Even the prey it was chasing had stopped running, lying there trembling in fear.
A surge of overwhelmingly oppressive aura rapidly approached from afar.
The branches in the forest shook, and the leaves rustled.
Unconsciously, it seemed as if even the light dimmed considerably.
But soon, blinding golden light bathed the forest, and the streaming mist turned into strings of golden oil droplets, spattering on the ground.
A figure enveloped in a delicate golden light was floating in mid-air, slowly descending.
His body was surrounded by a ring of gold, and all the rainwater could not penetrate the golden glow.
“Hmm?”
After landing on the ground, Chen Dengming looked at the demonic beast in the distance which was lying on the ground having lost control of its bladder.
He then redirected his gaze, looking at the golden Dan Power enveloping his body like golden flames.
At this point, his cultivation status had finally stabilized, and the Golden Core’s enhancement to his body had also completely ended.
He felt as if a nuclear reactor was embedded in his chest, steadily emanating a warm power that engulfed his body.
If he let it explode even a little, it would burst forth with astonishing destructive power, drawing upon the spiritual energy in the surrounding air, and exhibiting an extremely powerful spiritual might.
“Now, both the purity and intensity of my Dan Power are at least fivefold than before the breakthrough …
and my control over spiritual energy has also expanded nearly tenfold.”
Chen Dengming sensed the condition of his power, and suddenly a golden light concentrated in his eyes, releasing a formidable spiritual might.
“Condense!”
Instantly, countless points of golden light flashed in the air, and a strong wave of spiritual energy spread out, bringing absolute silence to the surroundings.
All the raindrops hanging in the air, including the plants and trees in the vicinity, were covered with a metallic sheen.
The swaying grass and tree branches all fell into a state of standstill.
The world within a hundred square feet had turned into a kingdom of metal.
“Ting Ting Dong Dong——”
Rains of metallic needles and pellets that had transformed, fell to the ground, bouncing around everywhere.
As Chen Dengming waved his sleeve, a large amount of metal-engulfed spiritual energy darted out from the surrounding objects.
In a blink of an eye, the rain turned into golden needles, coalescing into flow.
Some trees cracked and collapsed in pieces.
Within a brief period, their internal structures had been destroyed by the invasive metallic spiritual energy.
“After becoming a Golden Core, even a first-order fourth-level technique like Gold Touch Skill, when executed, becomes incredibly formidable, and can even be used over a wider area …”
Chen Dengming nodded slightly, satisfied with the power of the tested technique.
The only downside was it turned so many trees into waste.
However, achieving such tremendous power in his technique was also because he had already cultivated his Gold Touch Skill to the level of a Grandmaster, turning decay into the divine.
If another Golden Core cultivator used the Gold Touch Skill, they might not necessarily have this kind of power.
Even a first-order technique has such immense power.
So, the second-order top-tier Puppet Skill and Gold-controlling Skill are undoubtedly even stronger.
Chen Dengming retracted his Dan Power, and the golden glow around his body dimmed slightly.
He silently observed his status board.
“Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator [Chen Dengming]
Life-span: 100/569/1775
Spiritual Root: Metal, Wood (Superior 100/100)
Martial Arts: ‘Chen Family Martial Arts Compendium’ (Extraordinary 97/100)
Dao Skill: ‘Longevity Skill’ (First-Level 2381/100000), others remaining!”
After the Golden Core’s enhancement of his body had thoroughly ended, his physical strength had become even more potent than before.
His natural lifespan increased by another 375 years.
Among them, twenty years of lifespan was boosted when he learned the Longevity Skill, resulting in his current lifespan drawing close to a limit of 1,800 years from only 1,000 initially.
As a whole, his lifespan had increased by a total of 875 years more after reaching the Golden Core Stage, which was more prolonged than he had expected.
Including his current age of a hundred years, his total lifespan in the Golden Core Stage would be nine hundred seventy-five years, nearly reaching a millennium.
This astonishing lifespan gain, clearly displayed via concrete numbers, left a deep impression on Chen Dengming.
It also made him keenly aware that the longevity of the Longevity Sect disciple was not an empty claim.
He had once heard that the lifespan of cultivators in the Longevity Sect who practiced Longevity Skill and attained the Golden Core could live up to a thousand years.
Compared to ordinary Golden Core cultivators who could live for little over 800 years, the advantages of Longevity Sect cultivators were quite apparent.
The extra one hundred to two hundred years were all opportunities.
Now, Chen Dengming had personally experienced the benefits of being a disciple of the Longevity Sect.
The only regret was that the Changchun Skill is not as effective as the Longevity Skill when it comes to prolonging life.
That is why, ten days ago, he had spent twenty thousand contribution points to exchange for the complete set of first-, mid-, latter-, and complete- stage lessons of Longevity Skill and had started practicing.
His training is now well on its way.
But, according to the current rate of cultivating, even if he moved to the Longevity Peak possessing a fourth level spirit vein where the Longevity Sect resides for cultivation, it would still take him a long period of time to progress to the Nascent Soul Stage.

“Now that my cultivation is stable, I will exchange for a third-order technique after returning, and then head out to the frontier…”
Chen Dengming’s spirit left the status board, as he then ran a test of the power of other techniques in the forest.
